"Zandra! Its on!" Dylan called from the living room where Jonas, Zac, Matty, Duane Lee and Dylan were waiting for the new episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter to come on. Usually none of the Chapmans watched the show but Zandra and her nephews wanted to are it so Duane Lee and Dylan decided to come over and watch it with them. Zandra walked in arms full of bowls filled with popcorn. The boys took one each and Duane Lee took the one Zandra and he would share. Zandra laughed when the reminder on the tv popped up and showed the name of the show. Dog gets a stray.
"Awe I didn't know I was Dogs stay. Your going to have to talk to him about that." Zandra teased Duane Lee. He laughed and hugged her closer to him.
"To night on the Dog the Bounty Hunter. Dog gets a stray, but is she more trouble than she's worth?" the tv said and Zandra pouted.
"Yes but they still kept me take that!" Zandra said throwing a piece of popcorn at the tv. They showed a video clip of Duane giving her a hug after hug after their first taped hunt together. It then showed a big guy taking a baseball bat to the truck and you could hear Zandra's voice. "Boy you put one dent in dis truck, I'm goin ta whoop ya ass!"
"Next." The tv said and Zandra laughed.
"At least they saved the real funny things for the show." Zandra replied. "I really want to are your faces when I call you guys on the radio."
The show came on and Zandra smiled. She was very surprised to see she was in the beginning right after Baby Lyssa. She remembered that they got her all dressed up one day during a hunt. They even had her do the walk behind Lyssa. Then the show started.
"They're coming!" Adam said rushing into the house and the Chapman family quickly started to move things out of the way to make a path. Duane Lee looked at the camera.
"Zandra helped us catch her ex boyfriend and she sort of stuck around." Duane Lee said as he and Dog moved the coffee table up against the couch. "We sort of adopted her into the family."
"She is so cool!" Gary said and Adam messed up his hair.
"You don't live with her." Adam said just as Leland raced into the house with a bare foot Zandra on his heals. Duane Lee grabbed a hold of her as Leland disappeared through the back. Zandra laughed as she slipped out of his grasp. She stopped next to the pool and looked around.
"Leland Blaine! I swear I'm going to pay you back for scaring me!" Zandra called as Leland stopped running next to his brother long enough to get a drink.
"Middle name usage bra." Duane Lee teased and Leland rushed out the door, grabbing Zandra around the waist and they both went into the pool. Duane shook his head. "Never under estimate the speed of little Leland Chapman."
The camera then showed Zandra pulling Duane Lee into the pool as Leland pushed. Then Leland quickly helped Zandra out of the pool.
"This is how it is now with Zandra around." Beth said with a smile. "Never a dull moment. She's become almost inseparable with DL, Le, and Baby Lyssa. They actually fight over who she gets to hang out with. Usually, I win."
They then showed Leland and Duane Lee standing on either side of Zandra with their arms around her. All three of them were soaking wet.
"This is our stray." Leland said and Zandra glared up at him. "She can even do tricks."
"She can sit, stay, and is even house broken." Duane Lee and Zandra hid her laughter before looking up at the camera.
"Which sadly Leland isn't." Zandra replied and it went to commercial break just as Leland went to go push her in the pool again.
When the show came back on it showed every one in the office as Dog handed every one a mug shot. "Zandra is at work today so she won't be coming with us. So Lyssa and Beth, I need you driving the trucks. Leland and Duane Lee suit up. There's no saying what this guy will do."
Duane Lee started to put on his bullet proof vest when Leland noticed something on the chest where it would cover his heart.
"Wow Bra, what is that?" Leland asked and Duane looked down at it and started to laugh. "Its a kiss."
The camera zoomed in on it to show the light pink, glittery kiss print.
"Zandra kissed all the bullet proof vests to keep you safe." Lyssa said handing the boys a radio. Dog smiled when he saw his kiss print.
"Well if this hunt goes well we're keeping her for good." Dog said as they walked out with Beth smiled at the camera.
"We'll be keeping her any way." Beth replied quietly. "The guys need comical relief and I want to keep my shopping buddy."
The first place they stopped at they found the guy hiding under the neighbors house. Leland had glanced over there only on chance and saw him moving under the house. He still tried to run but Leland quickly brought him down. Duane Lee cuffed him and Dog just stood there dumb founded. He never remembered finding a runner that fast.
"Well I guess the Chapman stray is sticking around." Lyssa said happily as they went to another commercial brake.
When the show came back on Dog and Beth were in the back office looking for another fugitive to hunt while Lyssa, Duane Lee and Leland were sat in the front waiting impatiently. Lyssa's phone rang and she smiled victoriously when she picked it up.
"Aloha Sista!" Lyssa said her smiled widened. " Leland and she DL are here. Thats going on?"
Leland and Duane Lee raced to their sister's side as Lyssa put her phone on speaker.
"I have to tell you the outrageous rumors going around this place." Zandra said and Leland turned to tde camera.
"Zandra works at the local hospital. No one knew she worked for us till I took her nephew there yesterday." Leland whispered. "We're listening Zay Bay."
"Well according to wing one I'm one of Dogs long lost daughters. To wing two I'm Duane Lee's long lost sex toy. I'm the reason Duane Lee got a divorce because his ex found out that when I was fourteen we had a kid. Who happens to be Zac."
Leland nudged his brother and Duane Lee glared at him. "I would have been twenty seven! Do people really think I'm like that?"
Leland and Lyssa held back laughter as Dog and Beth entered the room. They sat down next to the others.
"I think most of the girls down on that wing think your younger than you really are." Zandra replied. Beth and Dog smiled when the realized it was Zandra on the phone. "Down on my wing people are saying that when I was fourteen I lied to Leland about my age and ended up having a kid with him, also Zac. He tract us down and it took almost six years to convince me to move to Hawaii with him."
Dog had to put his hand over Beth's mouth so she wouldn't say any thing. Beth pushed his hand away and whispered to the camera. "None of this is true even though we claim her as family, she's actually not."
"not yet any way." Dog said as Leland and Duane Lee glared at him.
"The only reason they made me out to be the bad guy is because they are all girls around my age and for some off reason think your a greek god or something." Zandra said. Her words dripping in sarcasm at the last part. "There is also another one on my floor that I'm Justins wife to be? I have no clue how the hell that would have come up. Since I've only heard about him and never me him. But the best one, you ready for this? I'm Lyssa's dirty little secret."
"Damn how did they find out?" Lyssa laughed as she smacked her laughing brothers.
"Hey I'll call you guys later. Sadly my break is over." Zandra replied hanging up the phone.
"I think we'll save this one for when Zandra gets here." Dog said with a smile.
When Zandra walked in every one smiled. Dog out an arm around her shoulders. "You want to drive for this hunt?"
"Uh Duh." Zandra replied holding her hands out for the keys. Dog laughed and handed them to her. She headed for the door and the others followed. They did their prayer. Zandra jumped in the truck she was to drive with a big smile on her face. Leland and Duane Lee got in the back while the others got in the other truck. Zandra followed Beth while the others talked to each other on the radio.
"You three behaving back there." Dog asked when he saw Zandra swerve a bit.
"I am." Leland said back. "Can't say much for the two."
"Uh excuse me." Zandra said over her radio. "Who was the one blowing on the back of my neck?"
"Duane Lee." Leland said back
"Boy don't make pull this car over." Zandra said and Dog rolled his eyes. Beth smiled.
"I told you Big Daddy." Beth said. "You should have gone with her and made Leland ride with us."
Lyssa laughed. "Then it would have been DL bugging her."
Beth pulled over in front of the house and Zandra pulled up behind her. The guys and Lyssa jumped out and Beth and Zandra went to hide the trucks.
"Zandra stay in the truck till we need you to pick us up." Dog said. Zandra rolled her eyes at the camera.
"Get out once and he acts like you'll do it every time." Zandra said.
"Zandra did you hear me?" Dog asked.
"Sorry what was..." Zandra said back then laughed when Dog yelled at her. "Yeah I heard ya."
When they knocked on the door a young woman answered.
"He's not here!" she demanded when she saw Dog and Beth. "He fled when he saw you all coming."
"We need to search." Dog demanded and she let them in. They were only there for a second when Zandra came on the radio.
"Hey is your guy tall, black, angry looking, wearing a white muscle shirt and faded blue jean shorts? Oh and has dark brown eyes and a tattoo of a skull and cross bones on his left arm?" Zandra asked if it was a normal question. Every one froze. They knew Zandra hadn't seen a picture of the guy.
"Yeah why? Do you are him?" Dog asked.
"Does it count that he's walking my way baseball bat in hand?" Zandra asked in the same tone of voice. The guys still stood there frozen for a moment as if trying to comprehend what she said then all at once they started to move.
"Lock the truck Zandra!" Leland demanded racing in front of every one.
"No really Leland. I thought I'd just step out and say have at me." Zandra replied sarcastically as the guy took a swing at the truck. Zandra kept her radio on so they could hear every thing.
"Boy, you put one debt in dis truck, I'm goin ya whoop ya ass!" Zandra said as the guy took a swing at the drivers side window. "You guys know what car glass looks like when hit by a baseball bat? Cause you about to find out... Make that broken glass. Boy you touch me I'll bite dat finga off!"
Just as the guy went to reach for her she saw Leland only a few feet away. She unlocked the door and grabbed the handle then kicked the door open sending the fugitive flying. The moment he guy the ground Leland jumped on top of him.
"Taking a baseball bat to a defenseless girl you mother Fucker!" Leland yelled as he slammed the guys face down. "I should tear you to pieces!"
Dog and Duane Lee rushed up to help Leland as Beth and Lyssa rushed over to a surprisingly calm Zandra.
"Hey guys what took you so long?" Zandra asked as she leaned up against the truck. Duane Lee got the fugitive to his feet. Dog had to step between the fugitive and Beth before she ripped the guys head off. After the guy was searched Duane Lee put the guy in the truck then gave Zandra a hug.
"You ok?" he asked and Zandra smiled.
"Yeah but his back isn't." she said turning to Leland. "Did you are him skid across the cement?"
"What?" Dog asked and Leland smiled proudly.
"When Zandra saw me coming she unlocked the door then kicked it open." Leland said giving Zandra a hug. "He flew at least four feet in the air before sliding over to me."
"You unlocked the door." Beth said looking at the girl as if she was stupid.
"It was either that or let Leland pry his hands off me." Zandra replied. "And I'd rather not have his hands all over this."
Dog laughed and have the girl a hug. "Come on lets get this dirt bag to jail. Duane Lee, we'll go with him. You ok to drive Zay?"
"Yep." she said getting into the drivers seat. Dog knew if he had let Leland or Beth go with the fugitive it would be bad news. Dog sat behind Zandra and Duane Lee sat on the other side of the fugitive. When they got to the police station Leland took the guy in as the others stood out side.
"How were you calm through that whole thing?" Beth asked and Zandra smiled.
"I wasn't." She replied. "I mask my fear with humor. But I also knew I could have taken him."
Dog laughed. "Zay that guy was at least an inch taller then me."
Zandra smirked "But I grew up with a family that grew their men big. Not a single one of them was shorter than six foot. And not a single one of them had arms smaller than Duane Lee's. Being the baby of the family I was a very easy target till they found out I could hold my own. Took me twelve years."
"So your saying that if I took you on right now, you'd win?" Duane Lee asked and Zandra moved onto the grass.
"Bring it." Zandra said and Duane Lee tackled her. She stood up and as soon as Duane Lee made another move Zandra kicked his feet from under him. Zandra walked over and stood over him. "See."
Dog laughed and helped his son to his feet as Leland walked out.
"What did I miss?" Leland asked.
"Zandra just kicked Duane Lee's ass!" Beth said with a laugh.
Leland gave her a high five. "Way to go Zay Bay."
Zandra bowed. "Why thank you. I'll be around all year."
