Meanwhile C.J. and Robert landed at Pinewood and he escorted C.J. into the cabin. She prayed the whole time there was nothing there that would give away where they were. But low and behold there was a picture of her and Matt right there on one of the coffee tables.
"So darling how did you know this place was here." Robert asked
" I used to come her when I was younger." hoping he would believe that and not question it further.
He didn't say anything else seeming to believe her, but he was doing an awful lot of looking around which made her nervous, just in case he were to see something that lead him to believe it was really Houston's cabin.
Just then he saw the picture, and she knew he saw it. "Damn "she thought, "now what am I going to do." she said to herself knowing she really was in for it now.
"Just a cabin you use to come to when you were younger, hmmm?" "You neglected to mention Houston use to come here too, seeing as how it's his cabin." Robert said his voice filled with anger.
"C.J. darling you just won't learn will?" Robert said.
"Now I am going to have to hurt you again." he said.
"Like hell you are!!" she said as she took a lamp and hit him from behind with it.
She hit him hard but it didn't knock him out but it did give her a chance to run by him, he grabbed her leg but she was able to jerk free because he was in such pain. She kept running flying out of the front door of the cabin to a waiting arm pulling her to the side of the cabin. It was Uncle Roy. "You alright?" asking her as he hugged her.
"Yea I think so, how's Houston" she asked concern all over her face.
"He's fine, he's at the hospital probably giving everyone holy hell, waiting on word about you.' Roy said smiling.
Just then the door flew open again and Robert stood in the doorway but Hoyt and his men were in position to fire at him and did just that when Robert refused to throw down his weapon.
Back at the hospital Matt was furious with everyone, poor nurses came flying out of his room one after another. Roy and C.J. came up the hallway as Houston was hollering about wanting to know if anyone could tell him anything about C.J.
"I don't know who in the world this C.J. Parsons is but I sure do wish she'd hurry up and get here." she said looking back at his door shaking her head.
"Maybe you should go in alone." Roy said grinning.
"Gee thanks" C.J. grinning back.
"Hey ,hey what's all the fuss about?" she asked with a big smile on her face.
"Thank god, get over here." he told her motioning for her to get in the bed with him.
"Houston you've been shot." she said not wanting to hurt his shoulder.
"Get over here or I will get up out of this bed and put you over here." he said firmly.
"Ok, ok .,"she said slipping in the bed making sure to steer clear of his bad shoulder.
"This is better, I am so glad your ok, no one around here knew anything for the longest time, it was starting to drive me insane. He said holding her tight.
"That was some fast smart thinking, taking the chopper like that." he said kissing the top of her head.
"I knew I couldn't get into a car with him, I knew there were to many places he could take us , so I figured the chopper was my best hope, there are only so many places to land that thing. I also knew if we didn't get out of that office he was liable to start panicking and shoot you again, and I was not about to take that chance." she said snuggling more into his chest.
"I'm sorry C.J, I promised he wouldn't get to you and he did." he said sheepishly
"Nothing is your fault Houston, he shot you, I am just so thankful your going to be alright. She said looking into his eyes and then kissing him.
It was no ordinary peck either, it was a long lingering kiss that they both enjoyed very much. And when they stopped kissing they snuggled into each others arms quietly not saying anything and as they lay there drifting off to sleep both wondered what their future held because they both knew they really enjoyed that kiss and wondered if that was the beginning of something really wonderful.
