Jared and Jillian were leaning against the counter with Connor and Murphy standing across from them leaning against the other counter. Murphy had his arms crossed over his chest, Connor had one hand on the counter and the other was holding onto a cup. They had come over in the morning and told Jared a plan they had worked on and Jared had told the girls.

" But why does Aunt Jilly have to stay with Connor and Murphy?" Lillian asked. The girls were standing in the kitchen doorway.

" Is it because Connor is her boyfriend?" Layla asked. Jared frowned then.

" No. Where did you learn the word boyfriend?" Jared asked. Jillian smiled at her brother.

" You better get used to that, my dear brother. It won't be long before the boys start calling for her and all her little friends have boyfriends." Jillian said.

" No." Jared said. " No boyfriends." Jillian laughed as they looked back the girls.

" No, Layla. Connor won't be Aunt Jilly's boyfriend." Lillian said.

" And why not?" Connor asked. " Why can't I be your Aunt Jilly's boyfriend?"

" Because you don't stare at her like Murphy does. He's always staring at Aunt Jilly." Lillian said. Both Murphy and Jillian turned red while Jared started glaring at Murphy. Connor broke out into a grin as he looked at his brother. " Besides, I heard Aunt Jilly on the phone once and she said she thought Murphy was hot."

" That's enough!" Jillian shot forward. " Time for school!" She rushed the girls out of the room a second before Connor burst into laughter.

" Shut it." Murphy said.

" If you touch my sister when she's at your house, I'm gonna kill you." Jared snapped.

" Oh he's gonna touch her alright!" Connor said excitedly. " Touch me, Jilly!' Connor mocked his brother. " No you touch me, Murph" Then he mocked Jillian's voice.

" Shut it!" Murphy said a second before he punched Connor in the arm.

" Keep her out of your room!" Jared warned.

" Shut it!" Murphy said again. Then he reached forward and punch Jared in the arm before Connor and Jared started laughing.

" Well, I don't think I have ever seen my brother's face as red as it is now!" Connor explained.

" Shut the fuck up!" Murphy said again.

Connor drove with Jillian to drop the girls off at school. They had decided she would stay with them. They were hoping her ex would show up at their house, not Jared's. Murphy had called Doc and explained what was going on so she could start working again. Connor and Jillian were in his car because Murphy was going to check her car for tracking devices and he kept her phone in case the ex tried to call again.

Murphy was laying across her back seat, checking under her front seats. He was using a flashlight to shine under the seats as he looked around. He had her phone on the floor beside him. He was running his hand under the seat, trying to feel for anything that wasn't normal. Her phone went off, making him look down at it. He laid his head down on the floor and picked up her phone. The number didn't have a name with it so he clicked on the text message to read it.

' So we didn't get to finish talking earlier and I lost my phone. So tell me more about this Murphy. - Nicole.' Murphy put the phone down and looked at the roof of her car with a smile. So she did like him. Her phone went off again. He picked it up saw a message from another number. He clicked on the new text message.

' 3 days and you will be back in my arms again. Doesn't matter where you run, I will find you.' Murphy frowned. He started scrolling through her texts and saw all the messages from that number and knew that was her ex. He saw a few messages from Nicole and knew he shouldn't but he opened the texts up.

' so my brother has these two best friends and one of them is so hot.' Jillian. He scanned through a few more messages between her and Nicole.

' how do you know he doesn't like you? maybe he hasn't asked you out cuz he's shy.' Nicole.

' i don't think so. he's not shy, trust me.' Jillian.

' maybe you should ask him out.' Nicole.

' lol! nice one! you know whats not gonna happen.' Jillian.

' u are 2 much! u need to stop being such a baby and ask the guy out.' Nicole.

' no. i don't want to make this weird between the four of us. hes so hot though and he makes me laugh.' Jillian.

' what the hell kind of name is murphy?' Nicole.

' he's irish.' Jillian.

Murphy clicked her phone off when he heard Connor's car pull in. He set her phone on the floor and went back to checking out her car. He was hoping his face wasn't red because he was feeling hot. She liked him and wanted him to ask her out. When things settled down with her ex, after they handled things with him, Murphy was going to do just that.

" Hey Murph!" Connor called out as they walked up to the car.

" What?" He asked.

" Find anything?" Connor asked.

" Nothing yet. Just have to finish up with under the seat." Murphy sat up and looked at his brother. Both him and Jillian looked at each other then quickly away. " Need to get her a new phone. She got another message from him." Jillian's eyes snapped back to him. Murphy sighed then looked at her.

" What did he say?" Connor asked as Jillian tensed up. Murphy and Jillian locked eyes.

" We got 3 days til he's here." Murphy said. Jillian paled.

" So he's coming there." She said. Murphy nodded.

" We better get things ready then." Connor said.

" What are we going to do?" Jillian asked.

" We are going to handle him." Murphy said.

" I don't want you guys to get hurt. Maybe I should just go with him." She said.

" We aren't letting you go anywhere with him. He thinks you are alone in this, we have the upper hand, Jilly." Connor said.

" He doesn't know you have the Saints on your side. We will keep you safe." Murphy said. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

" Can I go inside? Inside my brother's house?" Jillian asked. " I think I need some time to get myself ready."

" Not safe to be at his house." Murphy said. " Just go in. Connor and I have to go to Jared's work. We need to get a few things. He won't be here before the 3 days."

" He's cocky, thinks you aren't going to run so he's going to follow his plan." Connor said. Jillian sighed then.

" You want your phone back?" Murphy asked. She shook her head.

" No, just keep it. He might send me another message and I don't want to see it." She said.
