"Whats shaken dudes?" Zandra said walking into the house with a blizzard ice cream. Jonas raced to her and gave her a hug. "I haven't been gone that long. Dang I'm really loved."
Jonas smiled down at her and she could tell he had been crying by his puffy red eyed. "Jonas, what's wrong?"
Jonas's smile widened. "Nothing."
Zandra looked over at Dog then to Leland. She could tell by their sad eyes tdat Jonas had told them how she met the boys. She looked up at Jonas and smiled.
"If you want to talk. We will back at the hotel. Ok?" Zandra said and Jonas nodded.
"Who wants Ice cream!" Justin asked as he and Duane Lee walked in holding two boxes of blizzards. Zac raced over to Justin.
"Oh hold on there Zac. I have yours here." Zandra said handing the ice cream to him. "The others either have nuts or have been near nuts."
Zac thanked his aunt and sat down in the farthest seat away from Leland she could with out excluding herself from the group. Duane Lee sat down next to her. She smiled at his sweetly and batted her eye lashes. Duane Lee hid a smirk as he let her take a but from his spoon. She then let him take a bite of hers. Leland looked at Jesse and she looked over at Zandra and Duane Lee. She knew exactly what he was thinking. They looked more like a couple than she and Leland did. She wasn't surprised to see that every one but Justin and the younger kids noticed.
Justin sat down in front of Zandra and Leland up against her legs. Zandra out her ice cream between her legs and with one hand ate her ice cream and with the other rubbed Justins back.
"You know its almost to cold for ice cream." Beth said and Duane Lee smirked.
"Thats what we told Zay, but she insisted on buying every one ice cream." Duane Lee said nudging Zandra.
"Ice cream is the best when you haven't had it in a while, despite the weather." Zandra stated.
"We should play a game." Dakota said and Zandra smiled as she pulled a board game out of a tout bag.
"I'm on Zandra's team!" Adam said at once when he saw Scene It.
"We need four teams." Zandra said looking around the room. "Beth, Dog, Cecily, Bonnie Jo, and Gary team one. Duane Lee, Justin, Dylan, Lyssa, and Tim team two. Leland, Jesse, Colbie, and Dakota team three. Then the best team ever, Jonas, Adam, Zac, Matty and me are team four.
Every one moved to be with their team while Zandra got the game ready. Each team had a designated give roller/game piece mover, which was the youngest on each team. Then they all decided that the team captains would be the oldest. Dogs team moved first and got a card. Zandra read it. "What actor was in these three movies? Young Guns, Lost boys, and Stand by me."
"I've never heard of those movies." Cecily said raising an eye brow.
"Before your time." Zandra replied with a smirk. No one knew the answer so Zandra out the card back, with out looking at the back. "Kiefer Sutherland. Interesting tid bit. Kiefer's half brother played the villain vampire in Lost Boys: The tribe."
"Zandra's a movie buff." Zac said with a sly smile.
"She's been playing this game since it first came out." Jonas said and the others groaned.
"So what your saying is we don't stand a chance?" Duane Lee asked and the boys nodded. Sure enough Zandra's team kicked every ones butt.
"Well I think its time for bed for the younger ones." Dog said and ghetto kids groaned.
"And time for is to go back to the hotel." Zandra said getting another round of groans. "Ugh nothin. Come on you'll are them all tomorrow."
The boys got up and headed for the door and Zandra followed. "What time would you like is all to be her?"
"We're going out on a hunt tomorrow. But not till around noon." Dog said. "But if you go, you'll be driving."
Zandra didn't seem to like the sound of that, but she nodded and lead the boys outside.
XOXOXOXO
The boys raced into the house as Zandra caused them in. She stopped when she saw Beth, Dog and Beth's parents. "Uh Hi."
"Mom, Dad this is Zandra, the girl I was talking about." Beth introduced. Zandra waved as her teeth chattered. Beth smiled at her. "Baby girl its not that cold out."
"It is if four boys push you down in snow bank then hold you down till your soaked to the bone." Zandra was shivering badly now. Duane Lee came down the stairs and Zandra quickly wrapped her arms around him.
"Damn Zay! Your freezing!" Duane Lee said running his hands up and down her arms to try and warm her up. Beth's mother have her a questioned look and Beth shook her head. She knew her mother was asking if Duane Lee was seeing her. Justin, Jesse and Leland walked down the stairs.
"Body heat! Justin hug me now!" Zandra demanded. Justin laughed and helped Duane Lee warm up Zandra. Jesse grabbed Leland's hand and lead him away from them. She knew it was hard for him to see.
"Why are you doing this to Leland?" Duane Lee asked. "he's really upset about this."
"I have my reasons DL." Zandra said moving away from her friends. She went into the kitchen and say down next to Lyssa.
"Morning Cupcake." Lyssa said with a smile.
"Morning sugar plum." Zandra replied. "So when we going to hunt some criminal butt?"
"As soon as Bob calls." dog said just as his phone rang. Every one waited patiently for him to finish his call. "We got one. Lets head out. Zandra, Lyssa, Justin go with Beth. Leland and Duane Lee with me. If we have to switch up, we'll do it at Bob's office."
The group headed out leaving Tim and Jesse to watch the kids.
"If I stay back behind Duane Lee, can I go too?" Zandra pleaded.
"No!" Beth and Justin said getting into the truck. Zandra pouted.
"Please! I did well keeping my cool in the Jamahl thing." Zandra protested. "It was all of you who went crazy."
"Zandra, your not a Bounty hunter." Beth reminded her.
"Yeah, only because Duane Lee refuses to keep training me after the last hunt disaster." Zandra pouted then sighed. "Fine I'll stay in the truck while you have all tde fun."
"Thats my girl." Lyssa teased. "Now lets hadare who Non has for us."
They got out of the truck and met the others. The camera crew was ready to roll.
"Ok, we have Damon Jordan Giovone." Bob said and Zandra's head shot up.
"He's in Iowa." Zandra protested. Bob gave her an off look.
"We have word that he's back and stating in a hotel with a guy named Jimmy..." Bob started but couldn't finish before Zandra did for him.
"Jimmy 'The Wolf' Jackson." Zandra said hitting to good of the truck. "D told him I was in town. Damn him! And J had to know this!"
"Calm down Zay. How do you know them?" Dog asked.
"Remember J from yesterday? Damon is his brother." Zandra replied "and Jimmy is the gangster wanna be ex-boyfriend of mine who was the guy I told you about that got beat up by a guy friend of mine. J was the friend. But any way he's a bad dude. He's probably got a couple of warrents in Iowa. If you wants grab him two I could give my uncle a call. He'd be more than happy to see Jimmy go down."
Dog nodded give him a call and are what you can get." Dog said and Zandra quickly dialed the number. "Yo Chanda its Z...doin good doin good. Hey I need to talk to Uncle... Naw I ain't in trouble. I'm here with Dog the bounty hunter and they're gettin D Giovone." Zandra said and laughed. "I know right. But we got word Bad Wolf is wid em. Do you know if he wanted? Yeah I figured but he need to chat wid Uncle so he can grab em... Yeah I'll hold, but tell da old man to get his ass on da line. I ain't got all day."
Zandra turned to the others and they all smirked at her. "What?"
"Whats with talking like that?" Justin asked.
"No one would believe its me if I didn't." Zandra said with a smile. "I was a hipster back in my Iowa Days."
Zandra held up her hand a moment. She then put her phone on speaker so the camera's could pick up the conversation on the line.
"Sheriff Tony Porter." Zandra's uncle answered.
"Yo Uncle Tony what's shakin man?" Zandra said.
"Baby Zay is that you?" Tony asked sounding excited to hear her voice. "Whats up? Your not in trouble are you?"
"Well I'm standin wid Dog and his peps but Naw I ain't in deep." Zandra replied. "Dog wants ta chat wid you about Big Bad Wolf."
"Hey Sheriff this is Dog, Zandra seems to think Jimmy Jackson has a warrent?" Dog asked.
"More then one I believe." Tony replied. "I'd take him in myself but he's always got back up and we only have two cops on duty at a time. I didn't know he went to Hawaii. He's not allowed to leave the state."
"Well we are here in Colorado and we have word that he's here with Damon Giovone."
"D, yeah he used to be a good kid." Tony said sounding disappointed. "I'll send you the warrent just give me a fax number and I'll get it to you right away. And baby Zay you be careful of him. You know how much he hates you."
"Awe you worry to much old man." Zandra said with a laugh. "He'd never touch me. Never did he all talk."
"The boy always had it bad for you." Tony admitted.
"You mean he was got for my money." Zandra replied. "Tell Ma I said hey."
"Will do Baby Zay." Tony said then hung up the phone. Bob ran inside and sure enough Tony had sent every thing they needed.
"Do you think you could get J to rat his brother out." Beth asked and Zandra smiled.
"Oh I can do better than that." Zandra said. "I can bring them to you."
