About 20 minutes into the drive they were at his house. He had done nothing but cry and beg as Sam drove smoothly and silently.

"Take me inside and show me your family." She finally said after parking and shutting the car off. He completely broke down at these words and grabbed Sam's arm, begging one last time,

"Please don't hurt them they don't even know I went to do this, please take my life but don't hurt them!" He practically screamed. Sam's eyebrow rose at this,

"They don't know you went to kidnap a movie star?" She couldn't help but want to laugh at the unfortunate man. She pulled from his grip and stepped out of the car, he followed suit and frantically ran to beat her to the door. He placed both hands on her shoulder and in a flash she had a dagger to his throat.

"If you truly love your family, you will let me inside." She said, and in his eyes she finally saw defeat. He turned and opened the door, the smell of old carpet and some sort of soup entered her nostrils. She walked in behind him and closed the door looking around, it was a complete dump. He began to cry softly this time, and suddenly a woman came through from what Sam assumed to be the kitchen,

"Baby? Are you…" she stopped at the scene in front of her, her husband's arm bleeding everywhere and an unknown woman standing with him. She ignored Sam and ran straight to her husband, "Oh my god Jared! What happened?!" she looked unhappily at him. She took him upstairs and to Sam she said, "You can go in there and help yourself to some carrot soup, any friend of my husband's is a friend of mine." Sam was taken aback by the hospitality and let herself into the kitchen as they went to bandage his arm. There she ran into a small girl about the age of 6, sitting down near the girl she could see her ribs through her small shirt. Sam looked around the kitchen, it was small with nothing but a sink and stove, which was falling apart. Sam's heart reached out to the little girl as she looked up from her soup (which looked greatly like water and carrots mixed to Sam) and smiled brightly,

"Hi! I'm Sarah! You're pretty!" the little girl indicated the seat next to her so Sam stood from her seat and moved next to her. The little girl looked at Sam again and questioned,

"Would you like my soup? There's not much of it, but I know mommy and daddy will make sure I get more, they love me so much!" the little girl took another carrot into her mouth and smiled even brighter as her mother and father entered the kitchen. Jared looked horrified and still had tears coming from his eyes, and his wife looked just completely frustrated.

"Hi, I'm Isabella," She extended her hand to Sam which she took, "I'm sorry to be so forward but what is it that's happened? He won't say a word." She said indicating her husband behind her.

"Well ma'am, first of all, my name is Samantha, and your husband here," she looked to him as he pleaded with every fiber of his being for her to stop, but of course she didn't, "saved me tonight." She finished in almost a whisper. Jared burst out into another round of tears but these flowed with relief. Sam stood up and a flash of fear crossed his features, but was gone as a smirk crossed Sam's features. Isabella's eyes were as wide as baseball's as she turned and took him into a warm embrace.

"I really must be going but first I wanted to give you this," Sam pulled out a wad of money from her pocket and handed all of it to Jared, "Your husband saved me and for that I owe him my life." She eyed him warningly. "That is a total of $75,000 and I don't want to hear anything about it." She started to walk past them and Isabella grabbed her into an embrace and began to cry along with Jared,

"Thank you so much, I wish there was something we could at least give you…" Sam smiled, a full mouth smile, for the first time in what felt like ages and softly patted Sarah's head,

"He gave me my life, but if you don't feel that sufficient then…you can take care of this one right here." And with that Sam took her leave, she walked back to the restaurant, not worried about how far it was or that it was dark outside. She had done something good tonight, and hopefully Jared would be doing more good deeds in the future.

Carly sat up on her bed as her head rained down on her, 'It's been almost 3 hours! She should have been back by now! Ah! I'm going to go find her!' As she threw on her jacket she wiped more tears away and slowly moved to the door, a sound outside of her trailer drew her attention. She threw the door open and there stood Sam about five feet away from the door dropping her jacket onto a chair. Sam stopped and looked at Carly surprised at her sudden appearance. Carly took no time in running towards the other girl and throwing her arms around her letting another set of tears fall from her eyes. Sam hugged her tightly and let Carly just cry, she was sure she had been partially traumatized seeing a gun being drawn on her, that and Sam didn't want to let her go.

"I was so worried about you," Carly whispered, her hot breath reaching Sam's neck causing her to slightly shiver. "What happened?" Carly asked pulling away from Sam but only slightly. The feel of Sam's arms around her made her feel so safe, and she didn't want it to end. Sam explained everything to Carly, she left out some of the details like how she had sliced his arm open, and went to his house. So the gist of what Carly got was that he was apprehended and wouldn't be around her anymore. Sam added confidently,

"Nothing is going to happen to me, I'm very well trained." Carly smiled a relieved smile. Sam smiled slightly at this and walked Carly back to her door.

"Would you…." Carly was fighting with herself, but finally just let it go, "Will you please stay with me…Sam?" There she had said it; she wanted the other woman so badly to say yes, she knew she would get no sleep if she didn't have Sam with her. She looked as if she was also fighting with herself as she said,

"Tonight I will, seeing as stuff just happened, I will have to make sure you're safe and stuff." Sam half-heartedly reasoned with herself. Carly smiled a dazzling smile and grabbed Sam's hand. They both entered the trailer, Sam placing herself in a chair and Carly lying on her bed. Carly got all of her courage together and asked,

"Will you um….will you hold me?" She closed her eyes and felt a slight blush, 'of course she won't that would just be awkward to her…but I want to have her arms around me again.'

"If that's what will help you, then that's what I'll do." Sam softly said as she slid in next to Carly. She knew she shouldn't and that it was inappropriate, but she wanted Carly to feel safe. Carly turned towards Sam and pressed against her nuzzling her nose into her neck. Sam slid her arms around Carly and softly rubbed her back until she heard the other girl's breathing steady, and soften. With that Sam tried sliding away from her, the breath on her neck was making her to hot, and this was already inappropriate to be doing. She was her bodyguard; she shouldn't be lying in bed with her even if they weren't doing anything. As she slowly tried pulling away she felt an arm snake around her waist and looked down. Big brown eyes were watching her,

"Where are you going?" Carly questioned sounding slightly hurt.

"Well…I figured my job was done once you were asleep…" Sam lied. Carly lifted her hand to Sam's cheek and stared into her eyes.

"Please stay…" She whispered, and Sam melted.

"Alright I won't go anywhere." At that Carly cuddled her face into Sam's chest and fell quickly back to sleep with her arm around Sam and Sam's hands softly caressing her back once again. This to both girls, was complete bliss.
