Bam Neely

Dark and I had left the room before anyone else had. We were half way down the hallway before she spoke, and even then it was in hushed tones. I had to lean close just to hear her, giving me a nose full of her vanilla body wash.

"Bam I have a special job for you." She said, turning her head to see if any one was following us yet.

"What?"

"I need to disappear for a while. I have some things to take care of, and with Red and Kiz hovering like bees I'll never get them done. However I'm not stupid enough to think that Jeff won't find a way to attack if he finds out I'm on my own. Would you mind going with me and being my body guard?"

"Of course." I breathed.

She smiled and I felt my heart stop for a moment. She really had no idea what this was going to do to me. Being near her and not being able to touch her. Well technically I could, but I have the feeling that somehow Kane will find out and then I'll be nothing more than a blood smear on the canvas. And I like breathing too much for that to happen. She started walking again but a minute later she was picked up by her upper shoulders and turned so that she stared Kane in the eyes. How in the hell did he just pop up like that? It's like his feet never touch the floor.

"Why'd you run off so quickly?" He questioned.

"Did you really want to watch your brother and Sin go at in Vince's room?" She asked. "Never mind. I already know the answer."

I looked at her weirdly, drawing my eyebrows together in confusion. What in the hell was she talking about? Why would Kane want to watch Sin and his brother get it on. On second though maybe I don't want to know.

"Sin and I share Kane." She said when she caught my look.

"Oh." I acted like I understood, but I really didn't. How could anyone share their lover with another?

"He didn't need to know that." Kane growled as he stared at me.

"Quit being over protective. It's not like it isn't common knowledge anyways."

I had to give it to her. She didn't back down from Kane, nor Taker. If I was her I probably would have pissed my pants each and every time they frowned at him. Hell just watching Kane frown at her was making my knees go rubbery. With a grin she leaned in and kissed him lightly and I groaned as I imagined her kissing me that way. The sound broke their moment and the both turned to look at me as one.

"Uh....get a room?" I offered lamely.

To my relief she laughed and wiggled until Kane put her lightly on her feet. She walked over and threw her arm around my shoulders and I struggled to keep my breathing normal.

"I forgot that you're not used to seeing those displays. Don't worry soon you'll be able to deal with it. Hell I multitask. You can talk to me while I'm kissing Kane or Kiz. Whether or not I answer right away is a different story." She winked at me and I blushed, causing Kane to growl again. If I don't stop that he's going to kill me.

Dark

Poor Bam. He looked like he was going to pass out on the spot. With one last grin at him I hugged him quickly then started back down towards the room. Kane was walking next to me and I could feel the questions rolling off of him. Too bad I can't tell him. Hell I can't even take my phone, it has gps and they'd be able to find me. Hell Bam and I were going to have to stop at a mall just to get some clothes, I know Taker planted a tracker on mine some where.

I opened the door and practically jumped into Kiz's lap. He was laying down on the bed with his arm over his eyes. Matt was sitting at the table surfing through my lap top. It didn't bother me, my files were all coded and only Sin, SBM and I knew not only the pass-codes but also where the files could be found. I leaned over and kissed Kiz's lips softly, sighing as he arched against me; a smile on his face.

"Glad you're back." He said, taking his arm off his eyes.

"How'd you know it was me? It coulda been Red?" I said with a giggle.

"Puhlease. That heavy ass, he'd rather bury me than kiss me."

"Damn right. I like my playthings to be female, thankyou very much." Kane said from his seat at the table across from Matt.

I ignored the comment and climbed off of Kiz, moving down to set at the edge of the bed and watch Matt as he played. Kiz scooted down until his long legs framed mine and he wrapped his arms around my waist. The simple contact made my heart sink. I didn't want to leave my boys, but I knew that I had too in order to do what needed done. I just hoped that they forgave me when I returned. Bam was sitting in a chair by the bed watching us intently. He caught me watching him and ducked his head, the back of it turning a bright red.

I knew that he liked me. That was one of the main reasons that I wanted him to accompany me. If you had someone that had feelings for you watch your back then you never had to worry about it. The only problem was was that I felt that I was using him, and I hated feeling that way. Kiz leaned his head on my shoulder and blew into my ear.

"Whatcha thinking about?"

"Nothing..." I hedged. Sometimes I hate how in tune with me he is, makes it hard to hide things from him.

"You're lying."

"Am not."

"Then why are you so quiet?"

"I'm tired. I am five months preggers you know."

"How could I forget." Kiz said and I knew that he was rolling his eyes.

"I'm going to go and lay down." I said as I got to my feet.

"Hell I'll join ya. I do owe you a foot rub." Kiz said with a grin.

"Oh no. I really want to sleep and if you're in there with me it'll never happen." I pushed him back down on the bed and headed into our room, shutting and locking the door.

It wasn't that I wanted to sleep alone, it was just that I had some things to gather together before Bam and I disappeared that night. As I put most of my important electronic devices in my draw string bag, I started to plan our escape.

Bam

Now I know why Kane chases her. She's like a female version of him, and that's scary. We had pushed the speed limits for the past three hours, and now were holed up in motel out in the middle of nowhere. She was curled up on the bed watching tv silently, her disposable cell phone sitting in front of her as if she expected it to ring. We had dumped her car two towns ago, she was worried that she might have had a homing device on it somewhere. She sighed and I watched as she rolled over onto her back and covered her eyes. The only light in the room came from the tv, casting a semi romantic glow over us.

She looks so sad like that, like the world has forgotten about her. I want to know where we're going and why but she won't tell me. I think she doesn't trust me all the way, and that in itself bothered me. I had been watching this thing since the beginning, mainly to see if one of them were going to come after me. They didn't, I had never done anything wrong for them too. But as I watched I started to like her. Her fire, her laugh, the way she could wheedle information out of anyone. Hell I was there the day she tried to get information out of Edge at the coffee shop.

Granted I needed to go and take care of my agitation after watching that go down, but still. She fairly oozed sex, her eyes were always heavy lidded and her hair always seemed to be tousled as if she had just rolled out of bed. I wanted her so bad, but I knew that if I touched it would be the last thing I would do. Kane and the carnival freak would see to that. But as she laid there, her stomach outlined by the material of her shirt I pictured laying next to her, holding her, making love to her. She shifted over onto her side, the shirt riding up and showing her lower back. Right in the curvature of it was tattoo of a flamed rose. The base of the petals were black but as they rose to the tip they turned to flames.

It was getting late and I looked over at the couch by the wall. There was no way that I was going to able to sleep comfortably on it. But the motel had had only one room left and it only had the one bed. Dark had said that she would take it, but I wasn't about to put the pregnant woman on that thing. Hell it looked like I might catch a diease just from looking at it. I got out of the chair I had been sitting on and walked over to the couch, eyeing it doubtfully before I sat down on it. It was springy, which was a good thing, atleast I wasn't going to sink into it and never get back out.

I then grabbed the pillow and placed it against on of the arms and stretched out, my feet hanging off the edge. I tried to get as comfortable as I could, and finally turned my head to the side and closed my eyes. I knew that my back was going to kill me in the morning, but I could always stretch out in the back of the car during the ride to ease the pain. I had been laying there maybe ten minutes when I felt someone standing next to the couch. I turned my head and seen Dark standing there looking down at me, her hair laying down on her shoulders and looking deliciously messy.

"Yes?" I asked with a yawn.

"If you want, you can sleep with me." I raised my eyebrow at the statement and I could tell that she was blushing even though I couldn't see her face too well. "Well, what I meant was, you can sleep in the bed with me. There's plenty of room."

"Are you sure?"

"Are you going to strangle me in my sleep?" She countered.

"No."

"Then we're all good."

She then turned away and headed back to the bed and I got up, wondering what I did to deserve this. How was I supposed to sleep in the bed with her and not touch her? This night was going to be pure, unadulterated torture. I climbed in and lay on my side, facing away from her, she moved and her foot accidentally brushed mine; making me jump.

"Sorry." She said softly.

"It's ok"

"Night." She yawned and a minute later a light snoring filled the room. Great this was going to be a long night.

Kizarny

I checked my watch and looked over at Kane and Shannon. Dark had been gone for over four hours, much longer than it took to go get some hardware for a computer and some new clothes. Hell she didn't even need new clothes, when she was in the room she was naked and when she was in the presence of others she either had one of my shirts on or one of Kanes. The girl had more than twenty pair of sweats, so why type of clothing did she need. As far as I knew she didn't know what the baby was yet, her doctors appointment wasn't for another couple days.

Shannon and SBM have been a lifesaver here. Kane had started to worry twenty minutes after she left, and Matt hadn't helped any. He had decided to amuse himself by coming up with all sorts of reasons why she and Bam weren't back yet. His favorite being that they were sleeping together and had run off to be alone. He had been banished to her room after Kane tried to strangle him for the fifth time. I looked out the window, it was getting dark outside and she should have been back by now.

I started pacing the room trying to calm my nerves. The door opened and I looked up, hoping to see Dark and Bam standing in the door way. It was only Sin and Taker. I sighed and went back to pacing, something had to be wrong. She wasn't even answering her phone, and she always answered her phone.

"Hey is Dark laying down?" Sin asked as she looked around the room.

"No." Kane growled, Shannon took that a sign to get the hell out of dodge and scuttled over to SBM, holding on to her tight as he watched Kane get up and start towards Sin and Taker.

"Well then where is she?"

"We don't know." I said simply.

"You don't know?"

"No."

"Have you booted the tracking devices?"

"No." I said, I didn't even know that Sin had planted one on her.

"Jeeze. Here lemme pull it up and we'll see where she is."

Sin walked over and sat down at Dark's laptop. She pulled up the files and with in minutes was scanning the grid for Dark's signature. It took a couple of minutes, but soon she grinned and looked over at Kane and I.

"She's at the mall. And from this, it looks like Bam Neely is with her."

"We knew that."

"Well if you knew that then why are you worried about it?"

"She's been gone for over four hours. She should have been back by now." I walked over and looked down at the grid. Both the signals were in the same spot, almost right on top of one another.

"Relax Kiz. If they are anywhere near one another it'll look like that. That doesn't mean anything." She said when I growled at the screen. "Let's go get Dark so you will calm down."

Sin grabbed her purse and the laptop and headed out the door, Kane, Shannon, Taker, SBM and I following behind her. The ride to the mall was quiet and tense. I kept looking over at Kane, but his eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow, he looked like he was trying to calm himself down. I took a page out of his book and did the same thing, it wouldn't look good if we both showed up looking worried and they were just sitting down for a bite to eat.

Once there Sin took out her personal tracker and started into the mall, all of us trailing behind her. We ended up in the food court and I felt some of the tension leave my shoulders. Atleast until Sin broke off and returned a couple minutes later with Dark's drawstring bag dangling from her hand.

"It was in the family bathroom, both her and Bam's clothing and cell phones are in it. Both tracking devices are in here too."

'Sonvabitch.' I though as Kane demolished a table. 'This isn't good'.
