Text to Chey: love shopping, but not feeling too social. Give me a few days?

Text to Colt: well maybe you can stay mad, you are pretty stubborn, but you will regret it. You love me, don't forget that. And you just want me safe and happy, right???

Text to Ford: Everything is fine. Don't press please? Can't have you mad at me too.

Text to Travis: I know Colt texted you. Do not be hot head right now, please. He will get over this. Don't touch a hair on his head. Love you. Be nice.

Text to Travis: Do you not even feel a little bit guilty for what you did?
Text to Travis: Where and when?


Text to Dylan: What I wanted more than anything was for you to be you and for you to be happy with who you are.
Text to Dylan: And if you say that youre still the same person then you are proving that you have no idea what you did.
Text to Dylan: I dont even want to talk to you right now.


Text to Ten: I wish you were here. Youre never going to believe what Dylan and Travis pulled. Be safe. Love you.


Text to Ford: Ill tell you. Want to meet up and work out? Somebody off my list or somebody she found on her own?

Text to Chunk: You tell me where/when. I'm open.

Text to Shane: I'll be there Friday, after work. So it'll actually be Saturday.
Text to Shane: What do I get to see? It better not be your junk. I have a lot of really mean male cousins if you try anything. ;)

Text to Summer: I'm going to be out of town seeing someone, can you do Sunday?? I hope so! It Is The Lord's day, after all. Might as well look at some of his handiwork, right?

Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (10:14 PM):
My passenger and I stopped off on some shitty little planet between stops to get a drink the other day. Got my ass grabbed. You'd be so proud of my right hook.
Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (10:15 PM):
pretty sure he was a cyborg, though, because I sprained some things in my hand I think. Whatever your differences with Sophie, you should know: she's a good person to have around in these situations. Call you on the way back tomorrow.

Text to "Dylan" (11:22 PM):
Hey, you. Hope my husband's ire has somewhat worn off. <3 Whatever happened, he'll get over it.

Text to Ten: Yes. Soph always knows what to do when an ass is grabbed.
Text to Ten: Molly and I got home yesterday. We'll be here waiting.
Text to Ten: I saw Peaches last night. She looks much better. Ford's his usual self. I dont think there's been much change w/ Summer.
Text to Ten: I havent seen Dyl and Travis yet. But Im planning on it. Soon. Really really soon.
Text to Ten: Miss you too.


Text to Ford: Im coming to pick you up for a workout at the Sharks facility. Im in the mood to lift until I cant move for the rest of the day.

Text to Ten: Pretty sure he is still pissed. He's not talking to me. You can ask him about what happened, I don't mind. I hope to see you while you have some time off.

Text to Cricket: Yeah, let's hang. I take it you haven't talked to Colt? All that anger he has, it's because of me, if you're feeling it rolling off of him. I guess I need to fill you in too.

Text to Chey: Checking on you. How was your weekend? I need details about this guy, Miss.

Text to MewMew: Moor cats are... huge. Are you in town? I couldn't get ahold of you this weekend.

Cheyenne Daniels

Text to Dylan: Weekend was good! Music, alcohol, greasy food and motorcycle rides!
Text to Dylan: Once I can figure out how to explain Rhy'Din, I'll bring him around. Maybe I just won't tell him and just let it happen.
Text to Dylan: But his name is Shane, he's a mechanic, he's tall! Long blonde hair, real nice. He's from Georgia, too! Hopefully everyone will like him!
Text to Dylan: How are you feeling? Want to grab lunch or dinner sometime this week? We can stay in if you'd rather still be away from the public's eye. Let me know!

Text to Chunk: The Inn? You really want to meet there?
Text to Chunk: Seems like the sort of place that would make my past look like a church's daycare if they smelled blood and a fight.
Text to Chunk: You tell me, I'll clear the schedule and make it happen.
Text to Chunk: For what it's worth, you can't even tell. She's amazing.

Text to Dylan: Chunk's wanting to meet at the Inn. Not sure if that is a good idea or not. Your thoughts?
Text to Dylan: I love you, just thought you should know.

Text to Chey: I'd love to get some lunch. I am feeling better, doing a lot better than I thought I'd be. How about tomorrow? Shopping too.

Text to Travis: Love you too. I'm feeling a little stressed. Why don't you try to meet up with Colt tonight at the Inn? I am going to see if I can get a massage and a mani/pedi.

Text to Cricket: A little spa time tonight? I need to de-stress.

Cheyenne Daniels

Text to Travis: I trusted you w/ her. I trusted you would keep her safe. I never thought in a million years youd make her life more difficult.
Text to Travis: We still dont even know for sure shes human. We dont know how her body is going to handle this 5 or 10 yrs from now.
Text to Travis: Im taking off for a while. We can talk when I get back. Right now I just want violence.


Text to Ford: Im packing up the jeep at the moment. Taking off in an hour. Need to get the hell out of this city. Again. If you want to come be

Text to Chunk: The way she's handling everything now says that in five to ten she's going to be better than even I am.
Text to Chunk: Do whatever you think you've got to do.

Travis Preston

Text to Dylan: Thinking how you are going to handle this in five to ten years.

Dylan Preston

Date: 2013-04-25 15:19 EST
Text to Travis: Be nice. He isn't whining. He's concerned. He's the closest thing to a brother I've ever had. He'll see that everything is okay. Give him some time.

Text to Travis: He is right though, we didn't consider all of the what ifs and maybes. I am happy with our choice, but there are risks. Be reasonable.

Text to Travis: Don't forget he is your friend too. Don't let this come between you guys.

Travis Preston

Date: 2013-04-25 15:21 EST

Text to Dylan: Trying to contact Trav but havent heard back. Im willing to talk to the two of you but I want my concerns heard.

Text to Rhett: Got another 1 yr contract offer from the Sharks. Itll keep me in and out of town through the fall. You think youll be in town much?

Rhett Daniels

Date: 2013-04-30 07:33 EST
Text to Ford: Hey my dart skills are without equal. Now 'missing' and hitting one of you for mouthing off, THAT could always happen.

Text to Colt: Nice. Been meaning to tell you, I'm not regular PA anymore. There's more money in consulting.
Text to Colt: I'll be in and out of town, but not for weeks at a time like before. Between the two of us we can keep an eye on things.
Text to Colt: I always go to the range after morning workout, thinking about taking you and Ford along. Maybe teach you two combatives also.
Text to Colt: Don't want to drag Ford any further into our world than he is already, but maybe he should know more of what we know. Thoughts?

Text to Rhett: Really? Thought you were staying up w/ them for our safety. Sounds like we need to talk.
Text to Rhett: Yeah. Sure. As for Ford, I think whatever will make him feel better able to protect the girls is something he'll want to be a
Text to Rhett: part of and something he should be a part of.


Text to Summer, Rhett, Ford: Wed is no good. Got a late meeting. Im avail Thurs, though.


Text to Ford: Just nothing about 'licking frosting' in front of my wife, ok? It sounds way worse aloud than I think you mean for it to.
Text to Ford: And dont call me a 'cat burglar' either. That isnt particularly clean sounding either.


Text to Harper: I didnt have the guts to look at it. I went out just for a beer and Ford was drinking and one thing led to another and I got
Text to Harper: drunk.
Text to Harper: It's from Soph so it cant possibly be something I want to see.


Text to Ten: Good. Means a lot to me that youre on board. The lawyer is getting the contract today. Ill bring it home tonight for you to

Text to Rhett: You coming Thurs? Maybe we can get a couple min alone to catch up.
Text to Rhett: I think Ten's coming. She hasnt seen you in forever.


Text to Ford: On my way to pick you up. Youll feel better after a good long workout. Got a couple hrs to focus on ALWE stuff too.
Text to Ford: Maybe we can start looking for a replacement for me.
Text to Ford: As if it's possible to replace me.


Text to Travis: Im glad this is behind us. I still have questions. A lot of questions but you made the decisions you made to protect your
Text to Travis: household. It's just hard for me to let go of Dyl and acknowledge that Im not the guy in her life she's taking her problems
Text to Travis: to anymore.
Text to Travis: I know she's upset. You see her flip me off? That girl is awesome. Ill text her at some point today.


Text to Chey: Can you keep an eye on Molly overnight? Ill explain why when I bring her over.


Text to Ten: I know I was supposed to make you breakfast and now Im taking off before you even get up. Im a total ass. Particularly since
Text to Ten: I still need you to look over that contract for me. Left it on the kitchen table. I do want to say this, though --
Text to Ten: Youre right. Youre a catch. Ive done a lot of fishing in my lifetime but youre my only fish story worth telling. There are so many
Text to Ten: reasons why Im with you that have nothing to do with your *** or your ****.
Text to Ten: Reason #339 Why I Am Crazy Over T.E.A.C-D.: You tell me when I'm being a jerk. In no uncertain terms. Even when it would
Text to Ten: be easier not to. And it makes me a better person. Or at least a slightly easier person to be related to or friends with.


Text to Summer: We're still on for lunch? Can we make it an early lunch? My first lunch rather than my second? Ive got some stuff to do this
Text to Summer: afternoon. Ill explain at lunch.


Text to Harper: I need a favor. I may have pissed off my wife last night. Slightly. Shes probably already over it but I always just wait until
Text to Harper: she gets over it when I make a stupid joke.... or 24 stupid jokes. I want to make this one up to her.
Text to Harper: Galannol is just a quick portal jump away and Lord M'iinan owes me for finding his husband after that avalanche.
Text to Harper: Theres that restaurant there overlooking the beach and the lava fields from that little neighboring island/volcano. I already
Text to Harper: spoke with M'iinan. He got me reservations there for tonight and he invited us to their box for the Galannol Royal Ballet.
Text to Harper: And we'll spend the night in that little hotel on the cliff that you said I should take Ten to the last time we were there.
Text to Harper: Just a short overnight trip.
Text to Harper: Anyway, get her out of the house for the lunch you two are going to. I figured you would b/c Lord knows none of us eat her
Text to Harper: cooking willingly. Im going to that boutique on Fernwell that Ten likes. The owner's going to help me pick out something.
Text to Harper: Need some time to get her luggage down and plant the dress for her find.
Text to Harper: I probably just should have just called you. My fingers hurt.

Text to Colt: You were my first... everything. I will never get those experiences back. Do you think I walked away from you without scars? I am more damaged than you will ever know. But you don't care, do you?

Text to Colt: Regarding Yaya, I did what I thought I had to do to save you. Some days I am sorry that I did. You are not the only one who loved her.

Text to Colt: When this started out, I was happy to twist the knife in you a little more. This is beyond that now. I don't care about hurting you anymore. We've both hurt one another enough.

Text to Colt: I need him Colt. You know I'd rather cut out my tongue than admit that I need a Daniels, but I do. He's the best and I need the best.

Text to Travis: Ive still got her #. Maybe she wants to talk. People like to talk to me for some reason.
Text to Travis: I think its b/c I look so dumb. I think they figure I wont remember.


Text to Jules: Hey. It's Colt. We met the other night in the Inn. Im guessing by now you know I didnt tell you the full truth. Sorry about that.

Text to Colt: Sure you can buy me a beer, but only because you are an Arsenals fan. Lie to me again and I'll bash that pretty face of yours in. Just fair warning.

Text to Dylan: It got worse after you left. There were tears and chair kicking. Ford's here. He refused the guest bed. Hes on the couch.
Text to Dylan: Im going to take him to work out and then weve got to clear some debris from a trail and then to lunch with Summer.
Text to Dylan: Jane and Levi will be in the office today to keep him busy until 5 or 6 but Im worried about this evening.

Text to Dylan: Id seen her in days. She spent last night in that little playhouse b/c of all the emotional junk flying around our place. I told
Text to Dylan: Ford shes pissed at me and thats why she didnt stay here. But I need to talk to her tonight. Can you pls keep an eye on him?


Text to Levi: I know your plan is to moon over my receptionist today and while I love a good plan, I need you to help me keep Ford busy.
Text to Levi: Im making up a list of stuff that needs to get done after I bring him back from lunch. Dont let him sulk in his office, ok?


Text to Ten: I havent shared a bed with my wife in far too many nights. I cant do it one more.
Text to Ten: Im going to clear the house of the emotionally wounded and Im going to spend the afternoon hiking with Molly to clear

Text to Ten: Ill have Ford fed and out of here in an hour. Come home. Make yourself comfortable. I told Dyl youre sick so expect a soup
Text to Ten: delivery at some point. She knows better than to stay long.

Text to Colt: You've had a lot of worries, and some big anger recently. Big anger over a couple of things. And a flare of pissed and ha-ha disbelief yesterday. You do something to yourself?

Text to Colt: Definitely coming back. Feed me and hug on me and we'll talk.
Text to Colt: If Luca can't come, maybe I'll stay with you two. We can air the place out with some silly. If he can come, we'll both hang out with you and Ten and I can try to make him crack a smile. She loves that. Good thing he likes me. :)

I'll explain when you're back. And if I tell Ten, she won't be a big fan of the idea of me going back and... so, yeah, I'm afraid of my wife but you'd be afraid of her too. Anyway I heard about these ruins. I went to check it out. Looked like a temple or somethin'. I dunno. Wasn't able to see much. It was like... this invisible creature snatched me up and threw me into a tree and then stomped on me. I twisted my ankle tryin' to get out of there and my ribs are pretty bruised up. I literally got undressed in the dark last night so my wife didn't see me. I know it's not a big deal and you're busy. We'll talk about it when you get home. Take care, man.

Text to Chunk: Jules is staying at mine and Dyl's old place. I know it's safe, as I spent a lot of time being sure of it.
Text to Chunk: She's going to be the death of me.
Text to Chunk: We went looking for apartments, she was in bra and shorts that were short enough to be panties.
Text to Chunk: I made her go in and put on running pants at least, and a jacket.
Text to Chunk: She wasn't happy, but obliged an old wolf.
Text to Chunk: She and Dyl get along like peas in a pod.
Text to Chunk: Just wanted you to know, so you could pop in and check on her, but call first with the way she likes to dress.
Text to Chunk: In fact, just text her. Perv.

Text to Colt: Travis said he texted you, so you probably already know Jules is staying at his old house. She's super happy to have her own place but grumbling because Travis won't let her pay rent.

Text to Colt: It's funny how fast he went from kill the bitch to big brother. She had went running this morning in a sports bra and shorts and he about died. This is going to be way too much fun!

Text to Colt: Feel free to say things about his "hot" sister. I like to watch him twitch.

Text to Daniels Girls: Let me know where and when. Chey, you're on cookie duty!

Text to Jules: Hope you're getting some rest tonight. I'm taking you out tomorrow to look for some more furniture. And apparently your brother wants me to buy you some turtlenecks and mumus. We'll find a nice balance.

Text to Avy: Just let me know if she gets sick.
Text to Avy: Molly and I miss you tons. You know youre always welcome here. Love you.


Text to Travis: Im totally ok w/ your sister walking around half clothed. Just wanted to put that out there in case my opinion counted.
Text to Travis: My only advice on how to be a big brother is when in doubt, hug. It always seems to work for me.
Text to Travis: When Im afraid that opening my mouth may cause me to lecture them on their pretty pathetic decision making and cause
Text to Travis: them to get all fired up I just hug.
Text to Travis: Dont worry. Im keeping an eye out for her.


Text to Dylan: Im really glad this is working out for you two and Im proud of everything youve done to smooth over the process.
Text to Dylan: They both really need this, I think.
Text to Dylan: Btw, when are you inviting me over for dinner? Its been too long since the last time you made my belly happy.


Text to Jules: I hear things are getting better. Im sure its all a bit overwhelming. If you need to talk Im here. If you just need
Text to Jules: someone to grab a beer w/ and talk about how Man C is going to be the tar out of Norwich City Im down for that too.
Text to Jules: Do I need to explain that southern euphemism to you or can you connect the dots?


Text to Ford: Not going to make a workout this morning. Got a meeting w/ the Sharks doc to look at my ankle. Should get the ok
Text to Ford: on it today so I dont miss next week's camp.
Text to Ford: I saw Peaches last night. Been debating what to say and I decided on this:
Text to Ford: Girls are sometimes really stupid. They want to keep us from their dark moments b/c they want us always to see them
Text to Ford: as beautiful. What they dont realize is that they are even more beautiful to us in their dark moments when it takes every
Text to Ford: bit of their strength to keep moving on. Ive never seen Peaches more beautiful. I think I convinced her that you would
Text to Ford: feel the same. Shes supposed to call you. Give her this chance. Youre going to be so damn proud of her.


Text to Summer: Dont forget we have a pizza date. I want to hit up Pizza and Beer.


Text to Harper: Why couldnt you have stayed just an extra couple of days? My wife is never around. Youre in Teobern.
Text to Harper: And Im on my own w/ the fact that Im a freak who cant figure out how to act like a human being.
Text to Harper: Something really weird happened last night. Something is going on w/ Ford's girl, Peaches.
Text to Harper: I couldnt think around her. It was all of my dog-ness but multiplied to an extreme level.
Text to Harper: Her smell was insane. There was this totally amazing scent. Never smelled anything like it before. Almost like a
Text to Harper: hypnotic drug. I have no idea whats going on.
Text to Harper: Going to try to do some research. See what I can find out.
Text to Harper: Ugh. See, this is how much youve worn off on me. Im doing research.


Text to Billie: Dont forget. You, me, and a decent gun. Let me know when you feel good about leaving her and Ill come pick you up.
Text to Billie: Got a place on my property that works well for that. You can prove to me that your bite is as bad as your bark.

After meeting Colt Daniels in the Inn last week and hearing about the ruins he'd stumbled across, the elf was hooked on the idea of helping him explore them... for a price. She'd followed up at the ALWE office the next day, and after agreeing that Mr. Daniels should fully recover from his injuries before undertaking an expedition, she found herself less patient than she'd expected.

Less than a week later she had a courier deliver a letter to the ALWE office. Unfortunately the letter was addressed to "Mr. Daniels," as she had not been told or had forgotten that there were a number of gentlemen by that name involved in this business. Her handwriting was a distinctive cursive, and read as follows:

Dear Mr. Daniels,

I hope you are feeling better already. Are you well? I am very well myself, to save you the trouble of asking.

If you are well enough to undertake the expedition, please send your reply a.s.a.p. to

The Red Dragon Inn
Room 30
RhyDin, RhyDin
RhyDin

(and yes, the address has changed, this one has a better view and no ladies of the night in adjacent rooms taking customers at inconvenient hours; and yes, I agree that "RhyDin, RhyDin, RhyDin" is redundant)

I have procured enough supplies for myself with your allowance, and such that you and any companions may need but likely will not already have. Please bring bedrolls (I have one for myself already), a tent if possible, and any of the so-called electrical torches you and any companions already own. Also bring weapons but only those you are trained and completely comfortable with. In fact any weapons you or any companions intend to bring should be described and justified to me before our expedition begins.

This brings me to the other point I wanted to briefly go over. I have attached a contract, and while it goes over the finer details, in general it does state that I am not liable for any harm that comes to you or your companions, nor are you liable for anything that happens to me. I can assure you on a personal level that I will do my best to ensure our party's safety, as I have done on numerous expeditions, but this should not be interpreted as a legally binding statement.

Also, as detailed, agreement to perform such tasks in the field that require a scholar and arcanist's expertise cannot include "intimate acts." You have given me no reason to suspect you specifically, but given previous misunderstandings since my arrival in RhyDin, my history as a scholar does not mean I have read the "Kama Sutra" and need to "spiritually heal" your trauma, and I do not know, nor will I be performing, any "love spells."

Again, please send your reply a.s.a.p. I look forward to working with you and your companions in the field.

Regards,
Ilinoira Abernova Tiranel Sibreth
"Noira"

Text to Colt: Jules is coming over for dinner tonight. Why don't you come too? I'll put some ribs on the grill and fix up some sides. You and Travis can go sniffing together after we eat.

Text to Travis: Thanks for treating me and Jules to lunch, babe. We're still safe, just out shopping. I was thinking it'd be nice to let her pick out some things like dishes and a bed set to really make the house her own. What do you think? Can I use your black card?

Text to Travis: And by can I. I mean I already did. Also got her a few other things she needed and some clothes. SMILE! Love you. We're grilling out tonight.

Text to Harper Cricket: I would LOVE to come see where you live. Travis might be doing some traveling to Sussex soon. So maybe when he goes, I could come visit you? When is the baby due? I can't remember the date you told me.

Text to Harper Cricket: I can start cooking up some casseroles and dinners and put them in the deep freezer. That way I can deliver them to you after the baby is born. I've still got what, two, three months?

Text to Colt: that sucks about Sunday! I haven't adjusted to the time change yet, so my sleep schedule is messed up. In answer to your question, yes, late night beers sound awesome. See you later.

Text to Dylan: Snoop? What am I 13 and hiding porn under my bed? Anyway, who hides porn anymore? Everybody just uses the computer.
Text to Dylan: Thanks for the food, btw. I know it sounds corny but with the season approaching Ive got to watch what I eat so I was
Text to Dylan: thinking about cutting out the processed crap, eating more organic to see if that might cut down on Ten's episodes.
Text to Dylan: I know all the docs have tried over the last 2 1/2 decades to figure out the triggers and failed. But Im w/ her every day.
Text to Dylan: Maybe I can figure out some triggers. Never know. Right?


Text to Jules: Thanks for coming over last night. I had a rough day and the company was nice. Bad news to our late night is that I have to
Text to Jules: still get up and go to the Sharks stadium this morning for a workout.
Text to Jules: I hope this text wakes you up b/c if Im going to be miserable everybody should be miserable.


Text to Rhett: Thanks for watching Molly for me Sun. Ill bring her over in the morning. Should be able to pick her up Mon morning.
Text to Rhett: And I never did apologize for what I said. Im sorry. It was bull****. You always stood in the way. There was that one time
Text to Rhett: you werent home and you made sure it never happened again. You always took care of us.
Text to Rhett: I spend most my days wishing you were in town b/c Im not doing as good a job keeping everyone safe as you would.
Text to Rhett: And thanks for not making me feel like crap about Kat. Hell. Just thanks for everything last night. It was a real weight off
Text to Rhett: my shoulders.


Text to Harper: I had a night of Rhett then you and then Jules and woke up feeling 10 lbs lighter.
Text to Harper: I sure hope Im not actually 10 lbs lighter b/c I actually need to gain 5 more to be back up to my playing weight.
Text to Harper: Lunch? You and me? After the trip to the accountant's. When are you going back to SA?
Text to Harper: Btw, got the background check back on my pretty brunette friend. Theres more to her than designer jeans.


Text to Travis: Okay. So I have a stack of books to go through. It's like a dozen encyclopedias of monsters and crazy creatures from
Text to Travis: different worlds. What was pointed out to me is that humans and human-like creatures arent the only ones stumbling
Text to Travis: through portals. Sometimes animals from their world are. Anyway, Im going to spend the afternoon looking through these
Text to Travis: for a shadow horned cougar with red eyes even though I dont know how accurate the description is. Let me know
Text to Travis: if you come up with anything.
Text to Travis: Im hearing word that it took down a German Shepard yesterday. Be safe.


Text to Ford: I gave you some time to yourself to decompress. Ive got to know, though. How did it go?

Rhett Daniels

Date: 2013-05-17 08:45 EST
Text to Colt: Glad it helped. I knew you were pissed the night I told you, I didn't take it as gospel.
Text to Colt: You do a good job. Between the two of us we'll look after them. God knows I couldn't do it by myself.
Text to Colt: Changing subjects. Some of your boss' knights know parkour, right? I heard one of the PA guys talking about them training all over the city, running up walls and stuff.

Text to Dylan: You are an amazing woman.

Text to Colt: We'll be here til Sunday. Probably head back after church. What time are you leaving to go get Ten? Grab a bite with us at the Lodge before you go?
Text to Colt: Lunch today after the accountant's sounds great. I'll fatten you up. :) What do you have going on tomorrow?

Colt Daniels

Text to Rhett: Some of them are into that. Ive watched. Pretty amazing.
Text to Rhett: Not my cup of tea. I have to be too bulky for football. They need that lean muscle mass.
Text to Rhett: I can put you in touch w/ them if you want.


Text to Harper: Leaving before dawn Sun morning. Flight out leaves at 5:15. Breakfast wont work but dont have many plans for
Text to Harper: tomorrow. Let me know what you want to do and Ill schedule my day around that.

Dylan Preston

Text to Colt: That sounds like a great idea. If you put crap in your body, you can't expect it to put greatness out. Most of the meat and veggies that went into the food is organic.

Text to Colt: I'm slowly converting our pantry. I can taste all the chemicals and weird stuff now. My taste buds are insane. I'd rather just go catch my dinner but Travis says I have to be refined.

Text to Colt: Let me know if you want me to try out any recipes. Anything to help Ten out.

Text to Rhett: Nah, I'm just my Mother's daughter. And I love you guys. I worry about you, you know?

Text to Colt: i was already up you loser. I don't usually sleep a lot at one time. Still used to being on call. I had already got in five miles when you texted.

Text to Colt: last night was fun. If I don't see you before you leave town, have fun, be safe. If I see you before then, I hope I'm drunk. Don't think I can stand another night of staring at your ugly mug while sober. ;-)

Text to Dylan: For the record, Im not ready to hear your wolf talk.
Text to Dylan: And on the same note, lets not tell Rhett for now, ok?
Text to Dylan: I know Im going to get blamed for this and I cant have him pissed at me right now.


Text to Jules: I know. Im a troll.
Text to Jules: You really should be nicer to the guy who is always buying you drinks and offering to cook for you though.
Text to Jules: Ugly troll guys have feelings too.


Text to Billie: Ill see you in a couple hrs. Give Peaches a hug for me.

Jules Preston

Date: 2013-05-17 17:56 EST
Text to Colt: or I could find another guy to buy me drinks and cook for me. Maybe one that is free to give me a little feelsy. A non trollish guy. Do those exist around here?

Text to Colt: don't worry, I wouldn't kick you to the curb. You still owe me a football match. You and Me. You're going down, Mate.

Colt Daniels

Date: 2013-05-17 18:55 EST
Text to Jules: Good luck w/ that.


Text to Billie: Totally fine. I need a run before doing some research over dinner.
Text to Billie: The sooner you save me from the research, the better, though.
Text to Billie: And I suppose I better fit a shower in there after the run. Im guessing youd probably appreciate that.
Text to Billie: Ill be waiting.

Text to Chunk: There's now a bear buried out on the back of the property.
Text to Chunk: It was attacked like I would have attacked it. Throat first. Then an attack that spilled guts.
Text to Chunk: Then it ate its fill, including some of the rib bones.
Text to Chunk: Even the wolves out here don't want anything to do with what is left.

Text to Travis: hey, thanks for picking me up tonight. So far, nothing weird around the house that I've noticed. Safe and sound. Night.

Text to Colt: ah, so I guess I upset you? I really didn't mean to. I wasn't talking about you tonight, but your brother seems to think you were upset about my texts before.

Text to Colt: if it's any consolation I only tease you because I'm not allowed to hit on you. Besides, you know you're the dog's bollocks and bloody good looking.

Text to Colt: sorry if I've been a daft prick. I'm used to the guys at the station and trying to keep up with them. Really, thank you for everything. I owe you.

Colt Daniels

Text to Travis: I know. I know. I dont know what this is. I haven't been able to find it in any of these books.
Text to Travis: Do the scent trails keep disappearing?
Text to Travis: I can track w/ energy wakes. Its exhausting and gives me a headache but its harder to cover up.
Text to Travis: Let me sober up and Ill go out there.


Text to Jules: Just forget it. Im an oversensitive idiot who was having a really bad night.
Text to Jules: For the record, I think youre gorgeous.


Text to Ford: Im not going to make it to workout this morning.
Text to Ford: I dropped Billie off and came home and drank. A lot. Im still not entirely sober.
Text to Ford: Not sure if I slept. Maybe I did a little. I cant now.
Text to Ford: Im trying to convince myself I have too much to do and its too early in the morning for another drink.
Text to Ford: Forget it. Ill catch up w/ you later.


Text to Billie: I realized I never promised you not to tell anyone.
Text to Billie: Never, Billie Mercer. Never in a million years.

Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (9:16 AM RST):
I'm thinking better. That's a weird statement, but you have a knack for understanding them.
Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (9:17 AM RST):
Things were a little messy here. I think i might've managed to piss some people off worse than I piss you off.
Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (9:19 AM RST):
Sorry. That was sort of a stupid joke. All I really know is that Monday, for as much as I do love the bastard, is a really poor replacement for you. His hugs aren't near as secure and trying to cuddle up to him would make me feel like I needed to scour afterwards.
Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (9:21 AM RST):
I love you and I'm always such a prat. I'm not ever sure why you forgive me for that, but there aren't enough ways to thank you for it.
Text to "Bird-Dog <3" (9:23 AM RST):
I'll see you soon. Fair warning: I think Avy is already hiding in my suitcase.

Text to "Jaime" (2:13 AM):
Thanks. It was good to see you, really. And congratulations, again!

Text to "Mundane" (3:45 AM):
How are you not back, yet? I need you to be bringing me things. Because I'm your favorite sibling ever, clearly.

Text to Julianne: Hey, what are big brothers for? Come to the house, grilling a lot of meat, and I even bought some of that piss-water you call beer.
Text to Julianne: Man, I've been with Dylan and her family too long. Pale, Bitters, my favorite, Hobgoblin.
Text to Julianne: If we need to, Dyl or I will come get you.

Text to Chunk: I'm not overly concerned, don't stress. It is just hard to track.
Text to Chunk: In the words of Arnold, "If it bleeds we can kill it." lol

Text to Jules: I leave early tomorrow morning but Ill be back early Mon morning. Ill catch you when I get back.
Text to Jules: Unfortunately mini-camp starts Mon, though. No beer. You can buy me a Zeppa.


Text to Ten: See if Avy will hold off for a couple weeks? The girls are doing some slumber party thing for the long weekend she'll want to be here for.
Text to Ten: I do love you. Im just exhausted. We need more time together. Feels like we're never together.
Text to Ten: Ill see you tomorrow. We can talk about things.


Text to Billie: I talked to my brother this morning. I just need you to explain something to me...
Text to Billie: How is half the local wildlife stalking your bff any sort of normal? Ford said there was a 'goddamn doe' outside this morning.
Text to Billie: I was literally starting to think I was losing my mind.
Text to Billie: This is taking the girl code too far.


Text to Travis: Yeah. Im sorry, man. I just cant get my act together enough today to be any sort of useful.
Text to Travis: Im going to try to get some sleep. My flight to pick up Ten leaves at 5:15 tomorrow morning. Ill probably be out of town
Text to Travis: about 24 hrs.

Colt Daniels

Date: 2013-05-19 07:19 EST
Text to Billie: It will really just be easier to show you an earth lodge rather than explain it. Ill take you there soon.
Text to Billie: I havent forgotten I promised you a decent handgun if you knew how to use it. Im leaving town just for the day. Think about
Text to Billie: when you want to meet up.
Text to Billie: And yes. Wedges count as heels. Schedule me in to take you out to get fitted for hiking boots while youre at it.


Text to Ford: I know what youre thinking and youre right.
Text to Ford: Im about to board my flight. Im going to go pick up my wife and try to figure this out.
Text to Ford: It should just be 24 hrs. Keep an eye on everyone. Rhett's got Molly.


Text to Harper: Thanks for coming into town. It was really good to see you. I wish I had been better company yesterday.

Voicemail to Jacks: You can't stay mad forever. (pause) Are you going to at least tell me why you're mad?

Text to Julianne: The pool is full, finally. So, next time you can stay in until you prune.
Text to Julianne: Next time, we should play something Dylan could win at. Poker or something, as Totopoly just wasn't her game. lol
Text to Julianne: I hope first day on the job isn't as bad as you thought. I'd hire you, but I work with dirty old men that would enjoy you way too much.

Text to Dylan: Me. You. Evening picnic down by the river. Make this happen. Love you.

Text to Chunk: You need to stop by when you can. There are tracks that should still be there unless it rains.
Text to Chunk: They are as long as my boot and about 20.3cm wide. I don't know if this thing is just hungry for animals or is going to be dangerous to us.

Text to Travis: It does sound nice though, so I'll do it. Is it safe for me to be out? Or should I just get things together an wait for you?

Text to Travis: Also, I already went in the pool. It's amazing. Thank you for building this for me. Three months of work is finally over!

Travis Preston

Off. *giggle* I hate my mother. She's a bitch. Maybe we should add her to the list. *sound of thumping* Not now, I'm on the phone. Noooo. *phone falls to the floor and the line disconnects.*


Secured Voicemail to R. Daniels 11:00 PM: Daniels. This is Nathaniel. Ms. Rhovnik managed to dodge security by climbing out of a window. I wish I was making this up. Her roommate just alerted us upon arriving home and says that she had a fight with her mother earlier and has been drinking heavily all day and was quite hysterical. Mileena has opted not to come to town to attend her daughter's graduation ceremonies. We are tracking Ms. Rhovnik's phone and following up tips from her roommate that she may be at the Infinity Club. We just wanted you to be aware of the situation. Will update soon.

Secured Voicemail to R. Daniels 11:38 PM: Daniels, we have searched the Infinity Club, the tracking device on Ms. Rhovnik's phone led us here and we recovered the phone but not Ms. Rhovnik. We are trying to gain access to the club's security tapes and are beginning interviews with patrons. Currently we have no leads.

Text to MewMewKatt: I did see that, kind of after the fact, but I did. lol. Travis says "Pipe down smalls." Come over any time you want. Travis finished the pool a few weeks ago if you want to swim.

Text to MewMewKatt: I have yet to introduce you to Travis' sister. Let me know a day that is good for you so we can all do lunch.

Text to Summer: It was good seeing you the other night. Thanks for coming. And don't make me tell you again to start eating more, miss.

Text to Travis: I know Ive been out of touch and I apologize. Been caught up in my own head. Long story.
Text to Travis: Ten and I need your professional expertise. Meet me at the Inn one night soon? Ill explain.


Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: So Harper's going to kill me for this but I was supposed to send out a text a couple weeks back.
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: I thought I did but evidently I didnt.
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: Harper is on bed rest b/c her doc had some concerns. Nothing major. As long as she listens she and the
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: monkey will be fine. Unsurprisingly, she wasnt listening so Luca took her out of Teobern where
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: there are fewer distractions. There is also very limited coverage so she cant get texts/calls.
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: Shes ok. Luca has been keeping touch and I can feel her through our connection-thing.
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: Luca's hoping that another week or so and she can get the all clear from her doctor.
Text to Contact List: Family/Friends: I know, I know, Dyl. Im an idiot and I should have sent this sooner. Remember you love me.

Text to Rhett: My grandmother called me, apparently I was the worst date Charles ever had and my security team was intrusive and distracting. Thanks, I guess for helping me dodge that bullet. Elsie isn't happy with me though.

Text to Rhett: How do you feel about helping me run off more potential suitors on W, TH, and SAT this week?

Rhett Daniels

Date: 2013-06-25 15:47 EST
Text to Kat: Charles would have been bad for you and the family so we did our jobs and took care of it--but that should have been your judgment call.
Text to Kat: Based on experience with my COs I think your grandmother tested you with Charles and your next suitors will be better.
Text to Kat: If Elsie Rhovnik wants you to give them a chance then you should give them a chance.

Text to Colt: On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being Gandhi and 10 being Godzilla...
Text to Colt: How pissed does Kat get when you tell her "suck it up" and does putting it politely matter a damn?

Dylan Preston

Text to Colt: Colton Nash! I could have sent a gift basket or something. At least give her my love if you get through to her or Luca. You can repay me by going to lunch with me some time this week.

Text to MewMewKatt: HAR HAR! You are so wrong. Come over whenever you want. You don't need an invitation. Let's go skinny dipping tonight. Don't worry, I'll kick Travis out for a few hours. Be here at 7. Bring bon bons.

Katharine Rhovnik

Text to Colt: She's seeing Paul Ashcroft this weekend. I understand he was introduced to Sophie when she was still a Rhovnik but don't know much else.
Text to Colt: See if you can shake loose a positive bio from your end? Travel, public accomplishments + "special" projects?
Text to Colt: This intro needs to go better than Charles Dufont. 99% sure Dufont was just a test--
Text to Colt: But security team played a role in exposing his bad side & I don't want Kat to get the wrong idea about why we did that.

Text to Rhett: In short, seems like a really good guy. Does some business in RhyDin. Heir to an interdimensional shipping company.

Text to Rhett: well hidden. Very involved in his family's charity foundations.
Text to Rhett: Im hearing word from some old Rhovnik contacts that this is the one that Chase is pretty set on.

Text to Travis: Let me know what night youre available. Its a big project and I want it to be someone I trust.


Text to Dylan: Ive got my girl and I'm on my way to pick you up. Ten can't decide where she wants to eat so you better be in a mood
Text to Dylan: to make a decision b/c Im not going to listen to the pair of you play the "I don't know. Where do YOU want to eat?" game for

Text to Travis: My cabin's almost completely torn down now. They need to clear away the debris. Looks like they'll probably start building
Text to Travis: about midweek. I think Ten's finalized all the little decisions on the inside. Ill get up with her and make sure she's set on the

Colt Daniels

Text to Ford: I think a dog might be good for her. Might teach her valuable life lessons like responsibility and putting someone else's needs
Text to Ford: ahead of your own.
Text to Ford: WTF, man? If the girl wants a dog let her get a dog.
Text to Ford: Just, for God's sake, dont make it be small and yappy.
Text to Ford: If it is Ill be forced to feed it to Mutt's cubs.
Text to Ford: And, no. I dont get to go to the Lodge. Instead, I get to take Ten off-world for a dr's visit and then to go visit her family so she can

Noira

Date: 2013-07-23 17:08 EST
Noira was roughly halfway through a letter wherein she explained the generous pay for her freelance work and the stable market for it -- without coming out and saying, "I cast spells at monsters and take their loot" -- pitching herself as a responsible new tenant, when she actually took the time to read the name listed at the end of the apartment listing.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, pushing the letter away with a laugh and starting on a fresh roll of parchment, leaning over her desk to write. "Oh," she echoed with a thoughtful frown. They had gotten on very well before -- their time together had been "lovely," to put it politely -- and were pleasant to each other the day after, but she still was not sure where that left them when it came to writing a letter.

Seeing her at the Inn again would have been easy, she thought; she felt confident she would handle it with grace, balanced away from indifference by a little coy flirtation. Letters were different. They were formal. What experience they had together was so informal, from taking shots together to "upstairs" to shuffling out hung over.

What she finally settled oh was the following:

Jules,

I just returned to town and saw your apartment listing, and it sounds perfect. Is it still available? If so, what are the terms? Colton can vouch for my means, but I can provide formal references if needed.

May we discuss over tea? I would love to catch up.

Yours,
Noira

Jules Preston

Date: 2013-07-23 19:11 EST
By way of a messenger, Jules sent a return letter to Noira's room at the Red Dragon Inn.

Noira,

The apartment is still available. Between what Colt and I know of you, I am sure I could make an informed decision regarding your future residency at the apartment. However, I would never turn down a cup of tea. Let's talk. I'll bring the flyer for the apartment and we can talk numbers and move in dates... and whatever else happens to come up in conversation.

Looking forward to seeing you again,

Jules


Noira

Date: 2013-07-24 09:30 EST
Noira's reply arrived the following morning. The paper she used appeared to have been among her other notes when she wrote it, as the edges were stained with ink smudges from her stained fingers, traces of charcoal rubbings, and the faint imprint of arcane runes on the reverse side. From the handwriting and condition, this note had been written in a hurry.

Jules,

Tea tonight? If yes please reply w/ time & place. Am out for survey morning & afternoon. Will bring you something nice & also pen & bank receipts.

Yours &c
Noira

An additional note was sent to Ford -- like the others, it included a return address.

Ford,

Are you in the habit of terrorizing tenants w/ your tango? y/n

Yours &c
Noira

A note was returned to Noira:

Terrorize? Girl you have got it so wrong. My hips are registered weapons and all, but I only use the power of my dancing for good. Now that I know you're still thinking about them, I'll pick some music and alert my gf. Sounds like we need a Mud Dauber intervention for you. Lots of vodka and a big, hairy Russian should do it.

A letter was delivered to Noira's room address at the Inn late afternoon yesterday.

Noira,

Tea tonight? Sounds great. Don't worry about the formalities. I am willing to make exceptions, as I am sure you are well aware of by now. See you later at Teas and Tomes around 8pm.

Text to Colt: Did you hear about the fortune teller who went to the doctor because she had hard skin on her feet, was feeling weak, had bad breath and was convinced she was Mary Poppins?


Text to Colt: It was a case of super callous, fragile mystic, septic halitosis. HAHAHAHAHA. Love you.

Text to Bertie Bert: Henri! It's Dyl, remember I made you pancakes when you delivered messages to Harper last fall? Cricket= Harper. How are she, Bertie, and Baby Bert(ette)?

Text to Stuffy (Luca): Squire Henri! I have another special assignment for you, decoded from the Commander himself!
Text to Stuffy (Luca): New Haven Lodge needs ten liters of Icecrest vodka, preferrably by eight tomorrow.

Text to Ford: Pls tell me youre at least at home that drunk so I dont have to worry about your dumb ass rolling home.
Text to Ford: Why do your jokes always involve somebody's junk when your drunk?
Text to Ford: And why are you having so much fun w/o me?
Text to Ford: Im going to call you at 5 am in the morning until you wake up.
Text to Ford: First I have to figure out the time difference. I may be early by an hour or two.


Text to Dylan: Alright. No jokes. That was too bad for words.
Text to Dylan: Talk to me about something else. Anything else.

Text to Colt: Aww, I thought it was pretty funny. You're not missing too much here. If you think it'd help I could go home to Georgia and catch a flight to NYC and be there with you. You know I'll charm the pants offa Ten's family and talk you up.

Text to Colt: Unless NYC where you are is not like the real NYC. I've always wanted to go there though, talk about a fish outta water though, right? Anything you need me to do here?

Text to Colt: Ford and Peaches are still being gross, but too cute for me to be mad about it. :P Travis is burying himself in work, his little get away didn't go well, well it did, but it's left a lot weighing on his mind.

Text to Colt: I think Jules is out getting into trouble, she's been smiling way too much lately. Can't get a hold of Rhett. Is he with that crazy girl? What's the story there anyway?

Text to Colt: Talk to me, yeah? Feel like I don't know what's going on with you. Love you tons. Always here. <3

Text to Ford: It's 5 oclock in the morning
Text to Ford: Conversation got boring
Text to Ford: You said you'd go into bed soon
Text to Ford: So I snuck off into your bedroom
Text to Ford: And I thought I'd just wait there
Text to Ford: Until I heard you come up the stairs
Text to Ford: And I pretended I was sleepin
Text to Ford: And I was hoping you would creep in.
Text to Ford: Thought Id wake you up w/ a lil T-Pain
Text to Ford: We could go w/ the best of T-Pain.
Text to Ford: Maybe a little 'Im on a Boat' next.
Text to Ford: Peaches is going to kill me, isnt she?


Text to Rhett: Dyl says she cant get a hold of you. Check in w/ her. And check in w/ me. What's going on w/ you?


Text to Dylan: Ill take Trav out for beer when I get back. Lord knows that I could use a night to unwind. Probably do us both good.
Text to Dylan: Ford and Peaches are gross. To be honest Im having a hard time even being around them right now. I feel like an *** hat for
Text to Dylan: saying that. I want Ford happy. I really do. I just wish I didnt have to face it head on when I was so miserable.
Text to Dylan: Ill talk to you about whats up w/ me when I get home. There's been a lot going on and I dont think Ten and I are going

Text to Dylan Daniels from Squire Henri: Of course I remember you, Miss Daniels! Your pancakes were great but if you ever were thinking about it and had some spare time we really love the cookies you made and if you made a box and put my name on it and left it at the New Haven Lodge and asked them to deliver them to me I'd be sure to share them with all my brothers here at the Teobern Lodge.
Text to Dylan Daniels from Squire Henri: Madame Bertand is well but she and Sir Luca are out of town. We are not sure exactly when they are returning. Colt Daniels is handling her affairs in RhyDin while she is away. If you need anything you should contact him. I don't really know anything else.


Text to Sir Seamus from Squire Henri: Icecrestian vodka is hard to get a hold of. Should I bring it from Sir Luca's personal supply? I know exactly where he stores the good stuff in the basement. I am watching over the millhouse so I have the keys. I can bring it straight away, Sir.

Text to Colt: You and Trav should go camping, have a tent pitching contest and get way too drunk and do whatever it is you boys do when you're in the woods. Don't worry about F & P, I am sure they understand.

Text to Colt: I wish you would have talked to me before you left. I don't know what I could have done, but I want to be there for you. I love both you and Ten, but I know sometimes things just don't work out.

Text to Colt: We'll talk when you get back. Whatever you need, I am here. Also would like info on Harper, I know you know something.

Text to Bertie Bert Oh Henri, you flatter me! I am leaving in an hour to go and deliver 6 dozen cookies to the New Haven Lodge in c/o Squire Henri. I won't tell if you don't share. ;)

Text to Ford: Dont like T-Pain? T-Swift more your style?
Text to Ford: Actually, she probably is. Pretty blonde.
Text to Ford: Hangover wearing off yet?


Text to Olivia: Peaches is Ford's girl. Nope, not Southern. British. Picture a flower child. Wreath of wild flowers in her hair. Bit flighty but
Text to Olivia: cant help but love her.


Text to Dylan: Harpers fine, Dyl. You should really stop asking. If you want to talk about it when Im in town we can but no more on Harper.

Dylan Preston

Date: 2013-07-26 16:53 EST
Text to Bertie Bert: Squire Henri, I will bake you one dozen cookies every week if you can find me more information about Harper. I may be willing to negotiate cookie quantities. What do you say?

Rhett Daniels

Text to Colt: The usual mess, but I got it under control. Just got back into town.

Text to Rhett: I wont be back in town until Sun. I would like to meet up sometime next week. Let me know when. Any night.
Text to Rhett: Dont know what to say about my life. The one bright spot is that Ive spent so much time in a gym trying to forget about
Text to Rhett: everything else that Im seriously ready for the season. Camp's coming up soon.
Text to Rhett: Let me what night. Seriously. I want to talk specifics. I guess I want to hear how she's doing.

Text to Sir Seamus from Squire Henri: 3/4 of the way there. Brought the ones marked on Sir Luca's inventory 'the good stuff'. See you shortly, Sir!


Text to Dylan Daniels from Squire Henri: Miss Daniels, I will be in New Haven myself overnight so I will be there to accept the package. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the cookies. I will share them with my brothers. We all are big fans of your cooking and your smiles. I wish I could tell you more on Sir Luca and Madame Bertand but I do not know much. They left the barony and the details of their whereabouts are highly classified. Besides Sir Seamus, Sir Malcolm, Colt Daniels, the Baron, and the Baroness, I'm not sure there is anyone else who knows where they are.

Text to Olivia: You been staying out of trouble the last couple days? No **** heads pushing you around?


Text to Lola: You know we shouldnt be talking. Never ends well for either of us. Does Rhett know? No worries. Ill survive. I always do.


Text to Ford: Do you think we should be worried about Rhett. Looks like he's talking about family stuff with Kat. When does he ever talk about
Text to Ford: anything with anybody?

Text to Rhett: Glad you're okay! I tried calling but get kept getting some weird message. I think you didn't have reception. Stop by and see me when you have a chance.

Text to Bertie Bert: Henri, thank you for letting me bug you. I'll still bake some cookies more regularly in thanks. Tell all the Knights hello from me.

Text to Summer Lovin BBQ!!! Can't wait to chow down with ya, Sweetness.

Text to Ford: You and Peaches going today? Tell her I'll bring another one of those chocolate cream pies for her. I was thinking, I know the cabin is kind of on the smaller side.

Text to Ford: You're welcome to put the place on the market if you want so y'all can look for something bigger. I mean it's your place now, but I don't want you to think I'll be upset if you need to move on and up.

Text to Colton Daniels: I didn't tell him I was texting you. Is that a problem? I wouldn't be surprised if he knew though, he seems to know just about everything else I do.
Text to Colton Daniels: And don't worry about how this ends. We're both trying to put the past behind us. We were important to one another once, therefore I am allowed to be concerned about you.
Text to Colton Daniels: Especially when it may affect the mental state and performance of one of my employees. He didn't tell me anything if you're wondering.
Text to Colton Daniels: Just mentioned that there were some things back home he needed to take care of when we were on an assignment. What he didn't say is what made me more concerned.
Text to Colton Daniels: I read people for a living, you know this and I know there must be something going on. Just thought I'd ask. Really, for what it is worth, I hope you are okay.

Colt Daniels

Text to Ford: She's the last person in the world he should get close to.
Text to Ford: If her family even thinks she's falling for him or he's into her, they will kill him.
Text to Ford: No, they'll put him in a position where he'll get killed.
Text to Ford: Ill be so pissed with him if he ends up dead over this girl.
Text to Ford: Have a talk w/ him. Use the phrase 'keep a professional distance' as many times as possible.


Text to Lola: Trust me. Nothing impacts Rhett's mental state when it comes to his job. Least of all his idiot middle brother.
Text to Lola: Im okay. Football's starting soon. Looking fwd to that. Im not back in RhyDin until tomorrow.
Text to Lola: Id say lets grab dinner when I get back but probably should just enjoy the fact that we're not actively trying to hurt one another
Text to Lola: without pushing the envelope. I hear youre going through Elsie's line of potential suitors. Im sorry. I know it sucks.


Text to Dylan: WHEN I SAY TO STOP ASKING QUESTIONS, I MEAN STOP ASKING QUESTIONS.
Text to Dylan: You and I are going to have a long conversation when I get home.
Text to Dylan: What? Did you think I wouldnt check in with Henri?

Katharine Rhovnik

Text to Colton Daniels: It could be an interesting test to see if we could actually sit across from one another and share a meal. It's weird but once I got closure, I don't know, everything just changed.
Text to Colton Daniels: You're a Daniels. You've got that grin of yours and the accent. I don't suppose any woman could hate you forever. I don't have to like what you did.
Text to Colton Daniels: But I can't exactly blame you for wanting to get away from us. You are right about Rhett though, he did amazingly. You still play football?
Text to Colton Daniels: Yes, I really didn't know. I don't keep as many tabs on you as I once did. I've been going on a lot of dates with a lot of idiots. You know a few of them I am sure.
Text to Colton Daniels: I hate it, but what can I do? This Paul guy isn't so bad, a little boring, but very nice and not a slime. That counts for something right?
Text to Colton Daniels: To steal the words from your mouth, I'll survive. I always do. At least until I'm twenty-five, working on thirty though.
Text to Colton Daniels: That's so morbid.

Text to Colt: DON'T YELL AT MEEE! She is one of my best friends. You can't possibly expect me to not wonder what the hell is going on. I hope this long conversation involves me getting some answers.

Text to Colt: even if it doesn't result in answers, at least I will get you to stop by and I can make sure you're okay. WIN! Remember I love you and I have food and I'll do your laundry. Still mad?

Text to Ford: Oh good idea. I have a few hours before I need to be there. I'll bring one for you. Has anyone caught on that I have no idea what to do with myself? Being a house... Fiance is weird. At least I have all of you to take care of. Makes me feel important.

Text to Ford: Yeah. On the way home now. Ill text or call when I get home. Hows Molly? Everything going ok there?
Text to Ford: You heard anything else from Rhett? Asked him to tell me what day he wanted to meet up and got radio silence in return.
Text to Ford: Not trusting him as far as I can throw him all of a sudden.


Text to Dylan: Im not mad. Im frustrated. When I tell you something like that I tell you it for everyones good. There isnt much that
Text to Dylan: matters to me more than the safety of her and the baby. I miss her like hell too. Its like a part of me is missing. I can barely

Text to Colton Daniels: NFL? That is amazing. I don't know about a family function. I think most of your family members hate me. To be honest with you, if I thought for a second that Rhett would listen, I would dismiss him.
Text to Colton Daniels: He is a good guy and I know what he means to you. I love having him on my team, but I don't want to hurt you or see him get hurt. He deserves better than us.
Text to Colton Daniels: Having him in Division 7 is the only chance I have at thirty, you and I both know that. Bittersweet and selfish, isn't it? I'm sorry Colt, I should have never got him involved in this mess.

"Can you use that big gray machine upstairs to copy this letter and get it to Ford, Colt, Jules, and whoever else you think might tip well?"

"Ehhh, you are sweet girl, Ilinoira Abernova, but you are greatly tricky. And beside it all, I am very tired, you know. Why should I do this thing?"

"Because tomorrow morning, when I come downstairs to tell stories, I'll wear my nicest dress.

"Bozhe moi. Very well, Ilinoira Abernova."

"Tseluyu, Dmitry!"

Dear Colt/Ford/Jules/(your name),

Please come visit me at the Stars End Bar & Grill tonight from eight to ten o'clock. I am a lively, lovely and attentive bartender, and you will have a wonderful time!

Noira

Date: 2013-08-03 08:57 EST
Noira felt like she had whined too hard, or teased too persistently, or -- something, at Colt and Ford Daniels last night. She had felt chided at some point but couldn't recall why, only how nice Peaches was. Her (pounding) head failed to focus on the tattered map to a ruined abbey and so she went out to the market to pick up a few things and mull over some wordplay.

She left a basket at ALWE for the brothers with a note attached. The basket had sausages, pastries, and a little bundle of flowers.

Dear Ford and Colt,

I am sorry if I was a brat but thank you for the brats. Tailgate dinners are fun.

Yours et cetera,
Noira

P.S. The flowers are for Peaches.

Text to Colt: I'm glad y'all think of him that way. He really loves all of y'all. He needs all the support and love he can get right now... else I might kill'im. haha.

I am really not sure what we possibly have to talk about. There were years I was on your side -- with my parents, with Carrie, and sometimes even with Bec herself. Right up until the point where you decided you'd rather work a road crew job than use your degree to teach in a bigger city.

Text to Ford:
You were good for her. I begged her to tell you. Now she has. Do the right thing. Be an adult. Move back to Macon and help her out. She is strong enough to do this on her own but don't make her do it on her own. All she wants is for you to step up to the plate and sacrifice just a tiny portion of what she has.

Please come home, Becca. I miss you two. I'll come visit. You can come here. You're not alone. You have me. You will always have me. This is not the rest of your life. It's a bad period. It won't always be like this. Come home.

Text to Jules: JuJuBean want to come over for dinner and swimming? Bring a friend if you want. Come when you want.

Text to Dylan that sounds great. I'll be there.

A note slipped under Noira's door at the RDI:

Noira,

I am going to my brother's house for a BBQ and swimming later. Would you like to join us? If you would, meet at my house at 3:00 and we will go over together.

Jules

Noira

Date: 2013-08-18 16:45 EST
Noira penned a reply to Jules shortly after receiving the message.

Jules,

I do not know what BBQ is, but this sounds lovely. I will see you at your place at three o'clock, hopefully with new swimming clothes.

I think they are called bikinis locally?

Yours,
Noira

Text to Travis: Definitely. With all the my version of football on the brain, its a nice break to hang out and watch your version of football.
Text to Travis: How're you feeling? Dyl still seemed a bit tense when I saw her the other night. Maybe the two of you should just get away for

No, no! Thank you! It was great finally meeting you this past weekend and spending time with you yesterday. Stop by anytime, particularly if you're bringing coffee. I really could use the company.

Text to Dylan:
Plus, I've sort of let myself get distracted by something while I've been here. I could probably use a neutral third party to tell me if they think I've lost my mind.


Text to Colt:
It actually wasn't half bad seeing you again. I keep hearing that you've grown up and maybe you have a bit. We have an appointment with this Dr. King tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have some answers as to how much of a Daniels Charlotte actually is after that.


Text to Jenna:
I know you are busy getting ready to go to war with Covenant Academy for firing me based on that morality clause. I just want to leave it be. It will be more embarrassing for me to go through that than it would be for them. We'll be home soon. I promise.


Text to Ford:
I talked to Dr. King for a while this morning. She seems really great. I asked her to do a paternity test while we're there. She said it will be clear in the DNA testing she needs to do anyway. There's no doubt in my mind but I want to make sure there's no doubt in anyone else's either. Don't be pissed with me. I just want to have the paper to prove what I already know.

Thanks again. The sleep was great. I feel human. I'll let you know how Charlotte's Daniels-testing goes. If she's going to have a super power I sure hope it is something cool. I'd want to fly.

Text to Ford: Let me do some research and see what I come up with.


Text to Travis: Need some help.
Text to Travis: Got a bunch of feral pigs at Ford's that need to be dealt with. Dont ask. Its a long stupid story. We just need to get rid of them.
Text to Travis: Id release them for ALWE clients to hunt but Ford doesnt want to kill them. Like I said -- long, stupid story.
Text to Travis: Theyre dangerous and destructive and costing Ford and arm and a leg to feed.
Text to Travis: I found a buying station that will pay for them. Not a ton but going to give the money to the wildlife foundation that ALWE
Text to Travis: has worked with.
Text to Travis: Anyway, I need help getting these things on a trailer. Got a couple lineman that are coming over. Should be at least
Text to Travis: entertaining to watch. Got to get it done before he gets home from work. Can you meet me over there in a couple hrs?

Dylan Preston

Date: 2013-08-22 12:36 EST
Text to Becky: You are so welcome. Thank you for letting me stay over and spend time with Charlotte. Any time, really.

Text to Becky: You're pretty cool about this whole "powers" thing. If she does have any, we will all be here for her. Flying would be pretty nifty. Stick around Rhydin and who knows, maybe you will get your wish.

Travis Preston

Date: 2013-08-22 12:50 EST
Text to Chunk: Yeah sure. Though it would be easier just to kill and eat them.
Text to Chunk: If they are feral, do I want to know how he kept them around his place?
Text to Chunk: Of course, they sense predators, they may all scatter when I show up.
Text to Chunk: I'm on my way, also, this wildlife foundation do they need donations? I'd like more info.

Text to Dylan: Going to help Chunk move pigs.
Text to Dylan: No, not women at the docks. LOL!
Text to Dylan: I crack myself up.
Text to Dylan: Love you. Italian for dinner tonight, over at the place we like, or want me to bring it home?

Text to Colt: Yes I want tickets. It has been a while since I embarrassed you on the field. I mean cheered you on.

Thanks for not going through the roof when I told you. This is what's best for Charlotte and I'm sort of happy here. And thanks for offering to start packing me up. I will be home tomorrow for the doctor's appt. I'll see you then.


Text to Colt:
Remember the first time we met? I've been thinking that Dylan would find that story really funny. Maybe I'll keep it to myself if you help me move. I told Ford that we're staying but I don't think he believes it. I don't think I'm going to mention it again until I'm settled into the new apartment. Jenna is packing up my apartment. Dylan is going to help pack and help keep an eye on Charlotte. We just need you for the heavy lifting. Let us know your next day off.


Text to Ford:
I hear that you may have been texted last night about Colt and Travis watching Charlotte. They actually did a really good job. I'm driving to Macon tomorrow. Just for the day. Jenna wants me to deal with this doctor's appointment. I'll be back here by tomorrow evening.

Text to Becky: I've been thinking somewhere outdoors. Either here at our property, back home there is a gorgeous plantation, or at Travis' estate in Sussex. I really like the idea of a barn wedding though.

Text to Becky: I'd like something kind of shabby chic. A mix of country, english for Travis, and then chic because well, it has to be fabulous! I don't knooow.

Text to Travis: I knooow I don't drive Becky and Charlotte around that much, but winter is coming and I need something that handles the snow better.

We're southern. Is there anything but a shabby chic wedding? A barn wedding sounds wonderful. I like your Travis. I'm very happy for you. I can't wait to talk wedding details.

Text to Dylan:
And, yes to lunch! We can go to the Chipped Handle. They are under the impression that Brewer is my husband and I not only did not correct them but opened up a tab to be sent to his ship when it is in Stars End. Let's go have lunch on Brewer and after we talk of your wedding plans we can go upstairs to plan out where we should have Colt put the furniture.

Text to Colt: You do make a valid point. Ford is the one I'd least expect it from, but he's so good at it. You are going to be too. I know it. You and Ten will be amazing parents.

Text to Colt: Now that I have awesome healing abilities, I wonder how Ten's abilities would affect me. Less danger involved. Maybe I could borrow for a while? Like... 9 months?

Text to Colt: Don't stress. Just tossing it out there. I know you guys are seeing Doctors. I just want to see this happen for you both. Love you.

Text to Becky: I had so much fun today!!! Let's do lunch on Brewer more often. I'm doing a little girls night tomorrow if you want to come. I don't know if you can handle being away from Charlotte again, but if so, come over! No swimsuit needed. ;)

Text to Travis: Long day. I'm on my way home. Did you really have to ask me what color I want??? Tell you what, you pick, and if it's wrong, the wedding is off. :P I'm still not sold on this Jeep thing though. It's kind of.. boyish.

Text to Travis: We're moving Becky from Macon to an apt in New Haven. She doesnt want to tell Ford until she's moved. And I agree.
Text to Travis: With everything thats happened in his life recently he's not going to believe good news until its set in stone.


Text to Dylan: I dont know if she could deal with it for 9 mths. Its hard to describe what it feels like when you do that. It left me dizzy and
Text to Dylan: sick. Its like a piece of you has been cut out. And a severe shift can instantly kill. There's no healing yourself from that.
Text to Dylan: Neither of us could live with ourselves if something like that happened to you.
Text to Dylan: I know Ive been keeping this pretty close to the vest but with how mia Ten has been I should probably explain.
Text to Dylan: We are working w/ drs who have some experience w/ Ten's shifting issues. They are using a combo of
Text to Dylan: meds/magic to protect the uterus and keep it from changing. They can only do it for an area of her body, not the whole body
Text to Dylan: itself. It creates like a shield. But you know how when you toss something at a shield it'll sort of ricochet off?
Text to Dylan: Well, same theory. Because the shield protects a part of her body, it makes the rest of her issues worse. Right now the
Text to Dylan: shield isnt very strong. Its more preventative since she'll be pregnant for a couple weeks before we even know. The
Text to Dylan: "richochets" are more like an irritation. When she does get pregnant and they have to increase her meds, itll be much more
Text to Dylan: difficult for her to have to deal with.
Text to Dylan: Thats the whole of it. Im sorry to do this in text msg but honestly I have a hard time talking about it.
Text to Dylan: Im putting my wife's life more at risk to have a baby w/ her.
Text to Dylan: I keep telling myself that this isnt b/c I need a piece of her when this **** finally kills her but I dont even know how true

Text to Chunk: Ever notice that the girls like looking at handsome, sweaty, well built working men, but when they get one they say "Ew, get a shower, you smell bad."
Text to Chunk: For us, we like seeing a beautiful woman.
Text to Chunk: Business attire, G-string and pole or whatever. We never tell them they stink when we get one of those...

Text to Dylan: Chunk needs help moving the new girl. Want to go see Grady and Sissy?

Actually yes, please! Charlotte and I are on our way back into town now. I had a doctor's appointment and I figured I would do some packing while I was in Macon. Ford wanted to spend a bit of time with Charlotte this evening. I think he was afraid we wouldn't be coming back. He still acts like I may disappear with her at any minute. I suppose I can't blame him. Anyway, I'll get her fed and make sure Ford's got things under control and then I'll come on over!

Text to Colt: I will not ignore you. I don't mind listening, honest. It reminds me of how close we were in high school. I miss that. Any time you need to talk, I am always here for you.

Text to Colt: Whatever you say stays with me, I swear. I wish you guys the very best and whatever you have to do, whatever choices you make, you know I will support you.

Text to Colt: I understand what you mean by wanting a piece of her. It's not selfish or wrong. I get it. I love you. <3 <3 <3 Let me know what you both need. She needs lots of rest I know. If I have to cook and clean for you guys for 9 months, I'll do it. I just want her safe and for your parenting dreams to come true.

Text to Colt: I'll try to set up a regular date day with Ten. I'd like to try and be there for her, for you both during this, if you don't think she'd feel like it's invading her privacy. I know this is a delicate matter.

Text to Becky: Oh. My. God. I had so much fun! Thank you for coming over. I hope me and Katt didn't spook you. I know we're pretty crazy when we're together. There is still a pitcher of virgin fruity drinks, someone will need to come back over and finish that. ;)

Text to Ford: appreciate if you took her next Sun. Maybe let her drive you two? Once they increase her meds, she's not allowed to drive anymore
Text to Ford: so no point in taking away her freedom before she's actually got to give it up. Either way shes going to take control of the radio.
Text to Ford: Tickets for the staff. Great idea.
Text to Ford: You think Nini can handle a football stadium? I think her head might explode. Might be a fun experiment.


Text to Katt: I can definitely get you 2 for each home game.
Text to Katt: Everybody likes football. Make him come watch. Its good for men to have to do what their women want every once in a while.


Text to Dylan: Itll all be worth it in the end unless it kills her.
Text to Dylan: And even if it doesnt, I have to accept the reality that the doctors dont think Ten will make it to 30 and Ill be on my own raising
Text to Dylan: a kid.
Text to Dylan: You know the type of stuff our fights involve? That I am not closer w/ her family so when we do lose her shes afraid I wont
Text to Dylan: make the effort to keep our kid close to her family.
Text to Dylan: Who has to worry about this stuff at our age? Its the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Text to Dylan: Do you find yourself asking what Harper would tell you to do if she were here?
Text to Dylan: Shed hug me and very sweetly verbally kick me in the ass. Shed say that I need to stop punishing Ten for dying on me while
Text to Dylan: Ten's still fighting to live and that I knew the count from the beginning and that I have to enjoy the woman we have for as
Text to Dylan: long as God gives us w/ her.
Text to Dylan: On a lighter note, yeah, 2 tickets every home game.
Text to Dylan: Think you can come w/ us to 1 or 2 road games? Ten's traveling w/ me this year. She doesnt want to be alone w/ the meds

Text to Colt: The Harper in your head is right though. You can't focus on 'when Ten isn't here'. She's here and you are missing out on your best years together by putting one another through all this bullshit. Just enjoy her. Enjoy this. Make all the memories you can possibly make.

You were right. Knights are definitely hot. But the last thing that's hot to a man is a woman walking around with a newborn in a car carrier. All of those looks were on your legs. They are insane. And MOVING DAY! I'm so excited. The apartment is absolutely adorable. I can't wait to get Charlotte and I settled into it. I'm still not telling Ford until tomorrow.


Text to Colt and Travis:
Thank you both so much! I've got lunch arranged for us in Macon and we will order up dinner from the Chipped Handle which is the cafe under my apartment. The least I can do is keep the two of you fed today.


Text to Ford:
Dr. King called this morning. She's going to be in town for the day tomorrow and she wanted to meet up with us about Charlotte's results. I told her we would meet her at her house. After that there's something Charlotte and I need to show you. We're going to be busy today, though. I need to make another trip to Macon. So just deal with work and get some sleep tonight. We'll figure out times on everything tomorrow.

Text to Becky LOL, You're insane! And puh-lease. Men see a hot mama like you and all they think it 'fertile' and then their mind goes to bad places. Even the honorable Knights, maybe even more so because they're sort of old fashion.

Text to Becky: I'm at the apartment and I'm scrubbing and sanitizing everything! I'm in heaven!!! Don't worry, I'm using all natural cleaners and stuff, so no chemical smells. Do you want me to baby proof while I'm at it?

Your logic is hilarious. I don't envy Travis having to argue against it for the rest of your lives. Knights are wonderful and very good-looking but I'm afraid I'm walking a little bit less honorable of a path these days. Pirates. A pirate captain in particular.

Text to Dylan:
Thank you for everything. Really. Don't worry about the baby-proofing. We have plenty of time for that. And don't worry about the ward. Brewer's friends are installing an artificial intelligence system while he's off-world. They think I don't realize they're doing it because his life is dangerous. But I get it. I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to let them do it.

Text to Becky: Haha. Well, it's true! Guys are all primal chest pounders at the base of things. You woman, you fertile, me lay you down and ngh! Truth.

Text to Becky: Or maybe not, but it sounds funny. Travis spends a lot of his time just shaking his head at me. But, my logic did work in scoring me a new car. Woot. When do I get to meet the Pirate Captain? That sounds pretty badass.

Text to Becky: I'm looking forward to meeting Brewer's friends too. Tell them they have to work shirtless.

Text to Ford: Heeey you know that awesome garage you boys built me last winter? Do you think there is enough room for me to store Reba in there for the winter?

Text to Ford: We've got the barn, but Travis' wolf, Silver stays in there. No problem if I can't, I'll put her in storage elsewhere. I just feel bad that I didn't get to use the garage that much after all the work that went into it.

If you say it's truth, who am I to argue with you? :-*

Text to Dylan:
As soon as I can tell Ford, you can meet him. I hate asking you to keep secrets from Ford. Having you meet Brewer when Ford doesn't even know he exists seems wrong. I just have to give Ford a break for a while. I can't put more on his plate.

Text to Dylan:
You'll have to tell me about the car. I'm going to have to trade mine in. These roads aren't compatible with a luxury vehicle and I'm going to have to learn to drive in the snow.

Text to Dylan:
We're on our way back now. We should make it to the apartment in an hour.

Text to Dylan:
I would tell them to work shirtless but the person who created the AI system is Brewer's best friend's sixteen year old daughter. She's a computer genius. But it would be totally inappropriate to tell her to work shirtless. She'll probably have a couple guys with her. Do try to behave, okay? ;-)

Text to Becky: You'll tell Ford when you're ready. Besides, it's still early for you and Brewer. Travis got me a Jeep with a removable hard top. Good for winter! Snow was scary to drive in at first, but then it got easier. Black ice is really scary though. I hit some last winter.

Text to Becky: My car got a scratch. That's why Travis got me something else. Reba is going into storage this winter. Also. Ew. Thanks for making me feel like a weirdo. 16yr old girl?! As for the guys, I was well behaved, thank you very much.

Text to Becky: First, thank you for a good meal...with no grits.
Text to Becky: Dylan's mother insists on grits with everything.
Text to Becky: Second, I may be stepping over my boundaries but don't hurt my boy.
Text to Becky: Ford's like my brother, and he's my partner in crime.
Text to Becky: The baby, and you sort of make him light up... if something happens, I don't know that any amount of family could bring him back.
Text to Becky: Just wanted to get that off my chest. Today wasn't so bad, you should have seen us moving Dylan. see you soon.

Rebecca Perry

Text to Travis:
I do not make Ford light up. I never have. Ford and I will not be getting back together. I'm tired of being the one that ruins his life. I'm just trying to raise my daughter and move on with my life. For a grown man with so much support around him your family really feels a compelling need to lay down an awful lot of threats to a single female on her own raising a newborn.

Text to Travis:
Thank you for your help. It won't be needed again. I do what I can to stay out of Ford's way.


Text to Ford:
You don't have to take off from work. I can handle the appointment with Dr. King. I'll talk to you later.

I feel like I'm stuck in a room where everyone knows the worst thing I ever did and they won't stop judging me for it. Your family seems to teeter back and forth between wanting us back together and treating me like I'm a black widow about to take you out.

Text to Ford:
I'm just trying to do the right thing. I'm trying to stay out of your way. I'm trying to handle as much as I can on my own. I can handle this.

Text to Colt: Hey, it's Ben.
Text to Colt: I know we aren't particularly close, and we've had our share of tension, but I just wanted to put this out there:
Text to Colt: Everybody deals with anniversaries differently. Sometimes the best thing is something mindless with someone you aren't planning on opening up to.
Text to Colt: I like to go shooting with someone when I have my yearly milestones to forget.
Text to Colt: If you want to spend any time with someone that knows a little of what happened so any standoffishness won't be taken personal, but definitely won't pry into any said standoffishness, I'm not too busy today. Slow day at the office.

Text to Harper: You're a shrink, so you probably have good, healthy ways to deal with days like today already, right?
Text to Harper: Just in case, my offer still stands. I'm a good listener.
Text to Harper: I'm also a good not-listener if somebody wants to not-talk and just have someone not-prying around.
Text to Harper: I hope everything's good with you.

Text to Becky: OH. MY. GOD. Please don't be mad! Or sad! Or anything. Travis didn't mean any harm I swear. He is so out of the loop and that's my fault.

Text to Becky: He doesn't know what all happened between you and Ford. I didn't tell him b/c I didn't want everyone knowing your business, not when you were trying to start over.

Text to Becky: That & he saw how torn up Ford got the last time he and his ex-g/f broke up. I think in a way we're all thanking God you're here b/c if you weren't & he didn't have Charlotte to make him happy and keep his mind occupied...

Text to Becky: Well round 2 of this break up I think would be real rough on him. Anyway, I just have pretty much not mentioned what all is going on between you and Ford (nothing) b/c I didn't want to slip up about Brewer. Travis can be like a 5 yr. old when he gets in on a secret.

Text to Becky: Forgive his gruffness? He lived in a cage for 20+ years (literally) sometimes he comes across a bit harsher than he means. Knowing Travis like I do, that was his way of saying he liked you and he likes you being here.

Text to Becky: And he likes what you've done for me being here. It's nice having another Georgia girl around. I'm really happy you and Charlotte are here. I love you both.

Summer Daniels

Text to Ford: Personally I don't like her but I don't have to like her. I do want to be a part of your daughters life but as Becky doesn't want to have anything to do with me I'm just staying out of it.
Text to Ford: I don't care to stroke her wounded ego or support her 'Woe is me, everyone is ganging up on me' bull

Text to Ford:
It's fine. It's my own guilt. I'll see you there. Like I said, Charlotte and I have something to show you after the appointment.


Text to Dylan:
What? Ford knew it was Travis? I just told him that somebody had said something. I didn't say anything about Travis. I'm sorry. I've been punishing myself for ten months and I need to move on.

Text to Dylan:
I'm sorry for making you keep secrets. I really am. I just don't think he's ready to deal with making a decision about whether or not some strange man can be around his daughter. Brewer should be back from this run within a week. But you know me. You know I would never have him around without Ford's permission. Am I screwing this up? Should I tell Ford now?

Text to Dylan:
More than anything I just don't want to be responsible for Ford's happiness anymore. I'm not the woman for the job. I'm too snarky and too mean. But I love him. I'm not in love with him but I love him. And I think we can make this co-parenting thing work but there is no way we make a relationship work.

Text to Colt: Anything for ratings. Tragedy sucks people in. I saw it all the time as a cop, especially once I moved to homicide.
Text to Colt: I can't say I know what you're going through completely, but I can relate to some of that media stuff -- on a personal tragedy level, not a professional one. We can talk about it over chili, if you're into the whole talk-relate-bonding thing.
Text to Colt: No offense taken if not. Just putting it out there.
Text to Colt: I'm glad Harper's okay. I've been out of the loop, haven't talked to her in a long time. Was a little concerned to get an autoreply to the texts I sent her today, but at least now I know I shouldn't worry.
Text to Colt: Shoot me directions to this place and let me know what time's good for you for lunch.

Text to Summer: Yes! I'm up for it whenever you are.
Text to Summer: In fact, because Jackie knows my schedule better than I do, maybe you should use this cupcake lunch to figure out a good time.
Text to Summer: The cupcakes might make it a little easier for her to manage her feelings of extreme worry over me doing something dangerous and bad boy like this, too.

Text to Becky: Nah, Ford didn't know who said what. I just saw Travis' phone and knew that must've been it after I got a text from Ford about you being upset. I think Travis texted him back, trying to smooth things over.

Text to Becky: I don't mind the secrets! It's kind of fun when it's not causing trouble. lol. I think you are a grown woman and you should do whatever feels right to do. You and Ford have a rough history, I don't really know if it'd be better now or later.

Text to Becky: Maybe mention that you're feeling up to going on some dates and you just wanted to let him know that you're doing that but not bringing any men home? Wait until its "serious" with Brewer before really laying down the hammer?

Text to Becky: You are not snarky or mean. Maybe you were once, but not any more. You're going through a rough patch and your whole life has changed in 2 months. You're allowed to feel a little crabby while you adjust.

Text to Becky: I think you guys are doing really good. Just try to relax. We all love Ford, but give us all the chance and they'll love you too. We're a protective bunch and sometimes we let our mouths run.

Text to Ford: I think it's all okay now. I talked to Becky.

Text to Dylan:
By the way, we got Charlotte's tests back. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Do you think you can come over to the apartment tomorrow? I need to talk about it.


Text to Travis:
I'm sorry. I thought you knew. I thought you were rubbing my face in what I did. There's no excuse. I'm just sorry. I will tell you what happened if you want to know. Just not over text messages. I really am grateful for the help.

Text to Ford: Hey Hey. I love that girl. She tell you she's gonna be in my wedding? The past is wiped clean. If Jesus can let go, who am I to hold a grudge?

Text to Ford: And you might want to remember how forgiving Jesus and the almighty are when I tell you the next bit of news....

Text to Ford: I'll make sure Travis gets the memo about Becky not knowing about you and Peaches. I wish someone would have given me that memo though.

Anytime. My couch is always open for business.

If you make a dirty comment in reply to that I will kick you in your shins.


Text to Jackie:
Hey! It's Becky! I made Ford give me your number. He told me that you had gotten married and were now pregnant. Congratulations on both! I know we were never close which was totally my fault for not being around more but I'm so excited for Charlotte to have a cousin so close in age. Charlotte and I would love to grab lunch with you one afternoon. Just let us know when!


Text to Ford:
So the owner of the Chipped Handle came upstairs because she wanted to meet me yesterday. It ties into that long story about why I get free food there. The point is she saw some of my work on the walls and was asking me about it. They host art on their walls. The price tag is on it. Customers can purchase it.

Text to Ford:
She offered me a couple spots down there. Remember how I made that nice little bit on the side when I did that at Julia's Tavern in Macon? I think I'm going to do it but I don't know what to pick. Would you come over and help me look through what's here at some point?

The camping thing sounds like fun. Let me know what you need. I'm so proud of what you've done there. I'm glad you found something that fit you. Come on by and help. I guess this means I need to find an art supply store to fill the gaps on my walls.

Text to Ford:
I thought that might make you happy. It looks like Jackie and I might get lunch tomorrow. Thank you so much for her number. I really need friends who are going through this whole mom transition too.


Text to Jackie:
I'm so excited!!!!! How many exclamation marks can I use without being a total dork??? I'm sure they'll be giving their daddies anxiety attacks before they even hit puberty. I am very free tomorrow afternoon. I haven't found a teaching position in town yet. I want to take a couple more weeks with Charlotte before I start looking. You, me, and Charlotte. It's a date!

Text to Jackie:
I'm a really great source as to what not to do while pregnant. For example, it's not a good idea to say horrible things to your child's father and kick him out. Also, it's not a good idea to try to do everything on your own. And it's evidently frowned upon to drive yourself to the hospital when in labor. I've got a whole slew of them. I could write a book. :-D

I'm in total baby mode so I'm one of those people that you definitely won't bore with a lot of baby talk. I'm really really really looking forward to this!

Ford told me last night when he was picking up Charlotte that today is your birthday. Happy birthday! You seriously do not have to do lunch with us if you have fun plans. We can reschedule for tomorrow. If you would like to do lunch today that place sounds great. Charlotte and I can be there by 2 and I'm definitely treating you.


Text to Ford
I don't have any desperate texts from you so I'm guessing everything is okay. Brewer is back in town and he'd like to meet you and Charlotte. What do you think about meeting him when you drop off Charlotte? If you would rather do it another time, that's totally fine. Whenever you're comfortable.


Text to Dylan
I'm not exactly at home right now. Brewer's in town. I think Jackie and I are getting lunch this afternoon but Charlotte and I should be home around late afternoon/early evening. I'm not sure about church tomorrow. I was thinking Ford might be more comfortable in something less formal and I'd like something with more young families. I've got a couple pamphlets from some area churches. Want to come over and look through them with me this evening?

Text to Ford :
The nurses kept asking me in the hospital if I wanted to call someone and I kept saying no. Jenna was busy with her internship and there wasn't really anyone else talking to me. Jenna came and picked us up since evidently they don't let you drive yourself home from the hospital after having a baby. Anyway, one of the nurses realized that there wouldn't be any pictures of Charlotte in the hospital so she snapped a couple and later e-mailed them to me. I thought you might like to have them.

Text to Dylan :
We're still on for that cute little church down the street from me, right? I'm not making Ford come with us today. He met Brewer yesterday and he was really great about it. Or as great as he is capable of being, I suppose. I don't want to ask anymore from him this weekend but I'm going if you want to come.


Text to Ten :
Did the smoothie trick work? It always helped me when I was seriously craving a mocha chiller. Not perfect but helped. I found this DVD by this guy who is evidently some sort of baby whisperer. Want to come over tomorrow evening during Charlotte's cranky time so we can see if it works?


Text to Jackie :

I'm sorry I missed Colt's game today. I was exhausted and the only sitter outside your family I trust had a ton of homework to get through. Stop by at some point today and see your daughter. She misses you. Bring her mama a mocha chiller. I cannot wake myself up.


Text to Jackie :
That sounds perfect. I'm trying to find some place Ford will be comfortable. I really would like church service and then a family lunch to sort of be our weekly routine. I don't just want Charlotte to have one parent or the other. I would like her to have some moments of both of us. Is it okay if Charlotte and I stop by the office tomorrow to pick it up?

Text to Ten :
Yes, please. Maybe fairly early? Like 6? Ford wanted a couple hours this evening with Charlotte. He's going to pick her up at 5 and bring her back before bed. Evidently I'm not doing enough to expose my daughter to nature. At least not by a Daniels standard. I could use a meal with adults. I'll text Dylan and see if she's in.


Text to Dylan :
Sorry I've disappeared off the face of the planet the last couple of days. There is a tall, dark, and witty man who is back on planet and Ford was cool about that man spending time around my place and his daughter. I don't know how long until he ships out again so I've been eating up anytime I can get with him. He's doing dinner with his niece tonight so Ten and I were going to grab dinner while Ford spends time with Charlotte. Are you down for some girl time?


Text to Jackie :
Thank you so much for this afternoon!!! Lunch was great and you looked adorable. I'm passing along the extra pamphlet to Ford when he picks up Charlotte tonight. He says he needs to take her for a walk because its never too early to teach a child which mushrooms are okay to eat and which ones will give you stomach cramps for two weeks. He didn't use the term 'stomach cramps'. I'm prettying up his language. I forgot to mention it at lunch but Ten, Dylan, and I are going out to dinner if you want to come. We will all understand if you are completely zonked, though.

"Rebecca Rose, this is your mother. This is the fourth message I am leaving you. You refused to respond to my last three messages so I am just going to have to tell you this on your voice mail. Your father and I do not want you trying to raise a child as a single mother on a teacher's salary. We do not want you raising this child on your own at all. You are not cut out for the job. This child needs both her father and her mother and her extended family in the picture. Your father and I will give you and Ford immediate access to your trust fund rather than waiting until you are thirty if the two of you get married immediately. It will still be a sloppily thrown together mess but not a complete scandal."

"You are going to screw up you and your daughter's life with this complete nonsense. You are a mother now. It's time for you to stop acting like the child and be the adult. For once in your life, do the right thing. Marry that boy."

"I only want to hear from you once the elopement has happened. Since I can't seem to get through to you, I am calling Ford next to make the same offer. Hopefully, his mother has been able to raise him with a better sense of decency that I seem to have been able to instill in you."

You're not going to believe the crap that Mom is trying to pull now. She's literally trying to bribe me with early access to my trust fund in order to get me to marry Ford. Worse yet, she's evidently calling him to make the same offer. I'm livid. Call me in the morning please.

That doesn't even make sense. Grandpop set up those accounts twenty years ago. He knew his trust law and he wrote the circumstances in which we could access the money very specifically. We are not allowed to have it until we are thirty. Mom and Dad are not the trustee nor a protector. In short,

Text to Colt: Hey, Jackie told me you're going to spend some time with Adam tonight? Thanks.
Text to Colt: You know he's sort of quiet and shy, plus the moody teenager thing is kicking into overdrive, so don't take anything he says (or doesn't say) personal.
Text to Colt: It's really nice of you to take him to the facility, though. I'm not always a cool dad, but at least he can have a cool step-uncle!
Text to Colt: Thanks for turning Jackie down for dinner, too. She overdid it over the past few days, and it was a struggle to get her to stay home today. She needs the rest.
Text to Colt: Raincheck for sometime soon, though. Maybe grilling? I'm trying to teach Adam how to properly play with fire, maybe you can help.

Text to Jackie: Gonna stop home for a late lunch.
Text to Jackie: Was going to joke about 'so get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich' but I can't even do that today.

Lunch and errands. Sounds good. Can we do lunch here though? We can order up from the Chipped Handle. I really need to watch my spending and I still get free food downstairs. I'll explain why when you get here. Also, talking about my mom tends to make me get all teary-eyed from frustration and I'd rather not do that in public. Just let me know when.

Text to Dylan :
As for nicknames I think Jackie and Colt and Ford already deemed her Lottie. ;-)


Text to Ford :
I'm better. I didn't call. Thanks for knowing me well enough not to come over. I can't have you saving me from my mom anymore. I love our friendship but there are certain things I've got to stand on my own two feet for.

Text to Ford :
I do need your help with something, though. Two things really. My car is just not good on the roads out to your place and I know we're both scared to death about me driving Charlotte around in snow considering my complete lack of experience driving in snow. Come over and talk to me about what I should trade it in for? The second thing is that while you're here we need to talk about what Dr. Lauri had to say. About me.

Text to Ford :
Can you be here around 6:30? You can spend some time with Charlotte and get her to bed while I make us dinner.

Text to Ford :
I haven't told you how much I like her room. It's wonderful. Thank you.

Text to Becky: Thanks for yesterday. Lunch and chatting was nice. I'm doing lunch with Travis today but if you want to do anything later or this week, let me know. I'm pretty much open until we leave to visit my folks.

Text to Colt: You're worried? Don't be. Really. Travis and I are fine. Some days I want to claw his eyes out and shake him until his head pops off, but it's only because I love him and he keeps doing stupid things.

Text to Colt: It seems like the more he tries to fix his past, the more trouble finds us. I wish he would understand that retaliation won't change anything. I guess it's a guy thing, maybe?

Text to Colt: I think he thinks if he can hunt and rid the world of those who hurt him, then we'll eventually, maybe be in less danger. Anyway, we're fine really. I'm fine. I'm just a little more temperamental these days. Blame the wolf.

Text to Colt: I am having a hard time with the wedding though. Really I just want y'all there, my cousins, a few friends, my parents, and Jules. Travis thinks his estate would be a nice place and I think back home would be nice.

Text to Colt: I'm going to talk to my mama and see if there is any chance I'll get her on a plane out of Atlanta to Sussex. Of course then I have to also check with my wedding entourage and see if they all would be willing to go. Would you let Ten travel there?



Text to Summer, Ten, and Jackie: I'm in! I heard Jackie can eat a whole cheesecake in under 10 minutes. I want to see this! Love ya Jackie <3

Text to Becky: Do you think it's okay to change churches? Even temporarily? I love mine but I hate going without Harper. It was kind of my and her thing. We did church on Sundays. Do you think God would mind if I went with you?

I hate to pick your hubby's side over yours but he's so right. You've got to learn to listen to your body. I know you feel like there's so much to do and you've got to get on it but you have plenty of time and you have so much family around you who is super excited and just chomping at the bit to help you out. And, before you point it out, yes, I know I'm giving you advice that you have already given me. ;-)

Text to Jackie :
Lottie and I would love to come over. It will give Adam a chance to get used to little ones. I'm sure he's probably nervous about some crazy little bundle entering your lives. And, yes, to the bonfire! Let me know if Ben needs help with anything. You can hold Lottie and let us handle the work.

Text to Jackie :
I love the name Lily! Gorgeous!


Text to Dylan:
I certainly don't believe myself to be any expert on religious matters. However, I know what I feel. I don't think God gives a hoot what church we go to as long as the focus is on love and community. You know we wouldn't mind your company in the slightest. Both you and Travis are more than welcome to come with us.

Text to Dylan:
Feel free to come over anytime at all. In fact, I encourage it. I havent sketched in forever. I'm trying to get back in the habit. I could use a face to practice with.

Text to Becky: oh, that would be so fun! not even grumpy teens can ignore the charm of lottie.
Text to Becky: he seems like he's ok with it. he shrugs a lot. A LOT. so it's hard to peg exactly how he feels.
Text to Becky: can do! i'll talk it over with ben since i'm lettin him take the lead on this (see? listening to u both!)
Text to Becky: i'll take the rough task of carryin and cooin at the baaaaby.

Text to Colt: You have just helped me soooooo much, please do not be sorry. We are having the wedding here, then, in Rhydin. Do not argue with me Colton Daniels. It is done.

Text to Colt: I know you like a challenge, so now I give you the challenge of figuring out how to get my parents here and hiding them from all the weird for... two or three days.

Text to Colt: Do NOT tell Ten that anything changed. As far as she will know, the wedding was always going to be here. Okay? Honestly, I feel 10x better having the location set and not having to chose between GA and Sussex.

Text to Colt: Love you!

Text to MewMewKatt: I actually do not have a firm date yet. BUT, I was considering a fall wedding if I can pull it off. I love fall. If not, then spring. I'll update everyone as soon as I can decide.

Text to MewMewKatt: Colt and Ford are the camping experts I reckon, but I can help you out. I've learned a thing or two. Just don't tell Colt I said that. He'll probably laugh. :lol:

Text to Ben :
Let me know what time you need me over! I'll deal with the side dishes. We can have Dylan do the baking. She brought a pie over for me the other night and it was much better than anything I make. You just deal with the grilling and making your wife take it easy! That seems like more than a full time job in itself, particularly the last part.


Text to Ten :
Yes, please? Maybe in the morning? We can get smoothies, pretend they're mocha chillers, and walk around the park. I just don't feed ducks. Birds in general freak me out a bit. They're so feathery and flappy.


Text to Ford:
So Jenna just called me from the trustee's office. Evidently my mom knew something about my trust fund that we didn't and that's why she was so sure she could get me access to my trust. It has nothing to do with marrying you. It's Charlotte. There's a clause for early disbursements if the beneficiary has a child.

Text to Ford:
Jenna's traveling here after her last class today to go over my finances with me. The disbursements aren't a ton of money but if you help out a bit and I can keep selling a couple paintings here and there, it might be enough for me to stay at home with Charlotte. I would really like to the first couple years at least.


Message to Brewer (personal comm) via Lucy :
I just got some news that I think will make your life a bit less worrisome. Can you make it here for dinner tonight? Jenna is coming. You can meet her as long as you promise to be on your best behavior.

Text to Ten: You didn't happen to snap a pic of you in that slip, did you????


Text to Ford: Calm down. Just have fun. Youve got to stop looking at dates as some super serious thing. If she doesnt like you who cares?
Text to Ford: This city is full of hot girls and you dont suck blood or eat babies or smell like a troll so youve got one step up on 50% of the

Text to Becky: And Jackie's got dibs on potato salad (or I'm letting her make it without complaint). Best I've ever had.
Text to Becky: We shouldn't need too much help, but...
Text to Becky: Maybe Sunday is church, lunch, you take a few hours with Lottie, and then come on over?
Text to Becky: If anything, you can help to keep Jackie from getting overinvolved! She's not great at the 'relax' thing.

Text to Ben :
You use the magical phrase that my doctor used on me when I ended up in the hospital with dehydration -- "what you are doing could hurt the baby". Use it as a last resort, mister. You don't want to let her get into the habit of 'mom guilt' but if you feel like she's getting to the point where she might actually hurt herself, use it.

Text to Ben :
If you need me to come over, let me know. I'll stick Charlotte in her arms and do some of this prep work at your house. And you're doing a good job, you know. Southern women are a troublesome lot.

Text to Ben :
Adam was great with Lottie. His new little sister will have him wrapped around her little finger in no time flat. You see what your wife did to her own brothers. I doubt her daughter will be any different.


Text to Dylan :
I did. This is the sort of news I have to give you in person so I can hear you squeal. ;-) I will tell you before church tomorrow. You're going to love this. Really. I just might be the happiest woman in RhyDin.


Text to Jackie :
Everybody's favorite phrase should be 'Becky says'. It's no big deal. Really. I love to stay busy. I should be thanking you all over and over and over again. You don't know what you all have done for Charlotte's life and my life.

Text to Jackie :
By the way, you know I love you but give your husband a break and KEEP OFF YOUR FEET TONIGHT! Keeping men on their toes is sort of our job so I understand but I think he's a little worried about you. Give him a night off from worrying? Don't make me come over there and go all Southern mama on your cute butt!

Thanks for letting me use the property and the jeep. It really felt good to have a gun in my hands again. It really had been too long. Good luck tomorrow!

I know I already said this but I loved your church. We will definitely be there next week. Maybe we can get Dylan to switch with us as well. Do you have a new place yet? Let me know when you start packing. I want to help. I am the most organized person on the planet (ask Ford - although, he always somehow makes it sound more of an annoyance) so I'm an excellent packer!


Text to Dylan :
Brewer's coming over tonight which is not noteworthy in and of itself but he had a meeting with his brother last night and I'm afraid he's got news of when he's leaving and for how long. I don't want to sit around all day thinking about whether it's going to be days, weeks, or months. Come get Charlotte and I out of the apartment? Even just for a walk in the park.

Text to Becky: We won't be able to start moving into our new place until next Monday, but we may as well start packing now.
Text to Becky: I feel like I should just get you a spare key, you're at our place so often.
Text to Becky: No complaints! You've been such a big help for Jackie. For me, too. I don't know if I can properly express it.
Text to Becky: Don't feel like you need to help us pack -- you've done so much already -- but I've been busy trying to pull strings to buy this house quicker, and work has me busy too... so I wouldn't turn down the help.

Text to Katt: Thank you for everything you brought to the party! It was good to see you.

Let me guess -- it has an amazing safety rating and won't go over 40. I'll have you know I'm really an excellent driver. I just may drive a little too fast from time to time. But I watch myself when Charlotte's in the car. Sometime tomorrow? You've got me curious.


Text to Ben :
That really is so exciting! I will definitely help pack. You should get started packing now. You don't realize how much stuff you have until you go to move it. I'm here to help! My sister, Ford, and I found a way for me to afford to stay at home with Charlotte for the first couple years so I have a fair amount of time on my hands. I'll get up with Jackie and see when she wants to start getting a plan together.


Text to Jackie :
I am so excited for you! This is going to be great and we'll get a plan together to get this done in gradual steps to keep from becoming an overwhelming process. Your brother is bringing me over a new car tomorrow. The Lexus isn't handling RhyDin so well. I'm a little nervous. He's always joked about buying me a tank. I hope it's at least semi-cute.

Text to Becky: Jackie said you might be stopping by the house today? Do me a favour, let her hold her niece a while.

Text to Jackie 11:20 AM:
We'll get through it. It's so easy to get overwhelmed when you're pregnant. There's just so much going on in your head. A move is just fuel for the fire but we can do this and it'll give you plenty of time to get settled in before Lottie's partner in crime gets here.

Text to Jackie 11:23 AM:
As for the men in my life... no, don't let me talk about Brewer. I'll just get myself all worked up again. He just gave me a lot of news at once. The good news is that he's not shipping out for a while. Maybe I can have him meet you guys soon. It's just sort of weird, you know? New guy meeting the family of my daughter's father. All I think about is how Ford will feel about everything. It's driving me batty. I'm a little worried that Brewer is going to tire of me being protective of Ford's feelings. See! There I go again. No Brewer.

Text to Jackie 11:25 AM:
I'm late but we're moving now. Should be over in a bit! Your niece is having a fussy day and just wants to be held. Maybe you can hold her for me while I start making us a to-do list.


Text to Dylan 11:33 AM:
I was starting to worry. Yes, ma'am. I need to fill my time. I'm spending way too much time thinking. I really need to stop thinking. I'm headed to help Jackie tackle packing her house and I'm trying to meet up with Brewer's brother's wife for dinner tonight. Want to do something tomorrow? The Chipped Handle has great breakfast. Want to meet us here? We'll do breakfast on Brewer's tab and then hit some shops as they open.


Text to Ben 11:42 AM:
I'm about to head there now and I'm on it, mister! No need to feel bad. It's absolutely common. I have a degree in elementary education and I still worried about not knowing anything about kids. Lottie and I seem to be managing, though. I think worrying about being a good mom is just a sign of being a good mom. It shows that you care. I'll work on reassuring Jackie.

Text to Becky: it's hard, not bein a lil jealous and what have u. i was guilty of it.

Text to Becky: it took me a while, too. it won't be fixed overnight. just give it time.

Text to Becky: Adam really likes to paint, and he's good at it. But maybe he could use some guidance from someone that's obviously got some skill at it?

Lottie is going to hang with Ford in the office for a couple hours tomorrow so we can concentrate on packing. It's all going to get done in plenty of time! I promise you! Let me know what flavor of smoothie you want me to bring you in the morning.


Text to Dylan :
He does! For some reason he puts up with me. I haven't quite figured out why yet. I need a dress that will dislocate his jaw for Saturday night. I really shouldn't splurge and buy something new but I think I'm going to. Want to help me shop? By the way, how're you holding up?


Text to Ben :
I'd love to! And no payment necessary. It'll be fun. We'll find a room in your new house with a lot of good light and an afternoon once a week that will work. Jackie can get some uninterrupted Lottie time and Adam and I can paint. It'll be fun!

Zan and I broke up because he'd created some illusionary Summer that wanted him to settle down or didn't like him for being him. (A short, somewhat bitter laugh) How's that for funny?

Text to Dylan :
So I saw you looking at the ring at church yesterday. A couple things: (a) right hand, (b) cultures vary greatly in what such gestures mean, and (c) I have an adorable and completely plausible story about how I was given it by a grumpy but loveable troll who I assisted in pulling a thorn from his infected toe.

Text to Dylan :
Do you have time to hear my story about the troll before you leave? Charlotte and I will bring mochas over and help pack. Or at least not get in the way too terribly much while you do pack. I was also hoping you'd give our love to Charlotte's grandparents and reassure them that I will get her back there again sometime in the next month. I have some new pictures I'd like you to take to them if you have time for me to drop by.


Text to Jackie :
How is it going? I know when my life is in boxes I start hyperventilating but you're no where near as annoyingly neurotic as I am. Not that anyone could blame you for being stressed and overwhelmed right now. Let me know if you need some time out. I can always get Ford or Brewer to watch Charlotte for a bit one evening so that I can slip out and grab dinner with you or meet up at the Inn.


Text to Jenna :
Call me? We need to talk. It's about Brewer. I don't know. Maybe we should do this in person.

Text to Ford: She wants me to keep you and Rhett away from Andy. That decision is all on you but I would charge her a 10% annoyance fee.
Text to Ford: You get that phone call you were waiting on? She ok? When you talk to her tell her Ten and I miss her.


Text to Lola: I wasnt. Last time I saw the 2 of you you were best friends. What kind of trouble are we talking?

Text to Colt I'm handling it Colt. I can't tell you what she's blackmailing me about or then I'll have to deal with you trying to kill me on top of everything else. Also, I know you texted Soph.

Text to Colt I really want to punch you right now.


Text to Sophie Rhovnik Up to no good as usual, hm? I'm willing to also bet you got a text from Colt. I don't want to load up your plate as soon as you get here, but it is so bad Soph.

Text to Sophie Rhovnik Andy is in town. She knows. She is also going to tell Chase. And Chase is going to kill me. I'd kind of welcome it at this point.

Text to Sophie Rhovnik Broke up with Rhett/fired him, before the Andy thing. I'm going to get him killed and it'll be all my fault. Colt made sure to remind me of that and tell me he'd kill me if that happened. Why does everyone want me dead?

Text to Sophie Rhovnik If you promise not to scold me but get me drunk I will eat dinner with you. All I want to do is get drunk and party and forget but I can't because Rhett won't be there to 'save' me or clean up my mess.

Text to Sophie Rhovnik Stupid effing Daniels. I can't even enjoy getting in to trouble because I feel guilty about what he'd say. Get here ASAP, please. I will be pillaging Alain's Wine Cellar. I'm going to drink all the good stuff. Come and stop me if you can!

Text to Olivia: Sorry we bailed so quick last night. Ford doesnt have a girl at home. Its kind of a sore subject.
Text to Olivia: Im a little protective of him these days. Ill admit. Hes been crapped on a lot lately.

Game Day Alerts! on "Seaside Sharks" --

The Seaside Sharks marched down their home field for a touch down in the opening series and did not let up until the final moments. Until two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Sharks had held the Devils to 3 points. With a meaningless touchdown in the closing seconds, the Devils were able to close the gap slightly but the Sharks still took an impressive 38-10 victory. The Sharks' next game will be against the Silverwald Sphinx in the Sharks' home stadium.

When are you leaving? I want to make sure you get some time with Charlotte before you go but I need some warning before you come over. I don't think it's a great idea to have you and Brewer in the same space at the moment. It's not that I don't trust you to behave. I do. At least I trust you in front of Charlotte. But there's no reason to put any of us through that. You'll feel better when you get back. You always do.


Text to Jackie and Dylan :
So I know I vanished into thin air there for a while. I think there might be a story I was sick? Sometimes lies are just a whole lot less complicated than the truth. I miss you two, though. Can we get lunch soon? I need wedding planning and baby planning to get my head straight. Love you both.

Cute. When can you see her? Like I have ever controlled when you can see her? As always you can see your daughter whenever you want to see her. All I'm asking for is a heads up before you come over and I'll even make my husband leave his house so you don't even have to hold your tongue when doing it. I'll take a lot of crap from you because I know I deserve it but don't go there with me again.


Text to Jackie :
I can't wait to feel her kick! Has Ben gotten a chance to feel it? That sounds so special. One of those little things that I wish Ford had gotten a chance to do. I cannot wait to see her nursery and lunch would be great. I'm sort of on a self placed house arrest the next two days. I've got to get some sketching done or I may lose my mind.

Text to Rhett Maybe you should wear a vest. And a helmet. Brass knuckles too? XoXo, K

Text to Colton Daniels Did Rhett text you? I think it shows that we both got a group message from him. Are you going with him? Maybe you should stay close by. Please? I know I shouldn't ask, but I want him safe as much as you do.

Text to Colton Daniels I told Chase the truth, before Andy could. He seemed... okay with it. Sort of. Everything should be fine. Also, as I told Chase, I'm a grown woman and I make my own choices.

Text to Colton Daniels Neither you or Chase's opinions have any weight on me anymore and quit trying to make me feel guilty for loving Rhett. If we choose to be together, that is our choice. He knows me. He knows the risks. I've never hid anything from him.

A plain brown envelope is delivered to Rhett Daniels at his residence, addressed on the outside. To Rhett Daniels, open when you have time.

Inside is a DVD and a short note written in Summers hand:

Hey Rhett,

Figured I'd send this to you because you're a solid kind of guy that can just get things done. My mom should probably be reaching out to you and the others soon, make sure no one sends flowers, like seriously. No roses, blech. Comic books to kids, that's what I'd want.

Love you lots,

Text to Ben: Ten and I have been slowly moving into the new house in the middle of all of this. Just one thing after another.
Text to Ben: ****. I havent spoken much to Jay. Been so focused on my brothers. Ill stop by there today.


Text to Jackie: Hey, Jay Bird. Im going to bring over cheesecake for the little nut this evening.
Text to Jackie: I miss you.


Text to Ford: Got word back on my fine. Not too terrible since I dont have a rep for that sort of thing. No suspension. Slap on the wrist.
Text to Ford: Just a fyi - word is getting out about a breakup in London.
Text to Ford: Im itching for some deer hunting. Nothing says fall like freezing your balls off in a deer stand at 4:30 in the morn. You in?


Text to Rhett: We need to talk. More Rhovnik problems. Youre never going to believe this one.


Text to Nando: It is related. Trying to figure out if shes playing a game or is serious. Kind of almost hope its a game at the moment.


Text to Kat: My wife would prefer I keep my money in my wallet rather than tossing it out for a single punch. Shes the practical sort.
Text to Kat: Im off today. Lets meet up this afternoon. Ill tell you what I know. We'll come up w/ a game plan.

Text to Colt: You noticed that too?
Text to Colt: She's not Jackie. I mean, she is, but it isn't her. She gets like this sometimes. When you were missing. Maybe once or twice more I can think of.
Text to Colt: It reminds me of my ex when Adam was missing. Something in them breaks and goes away.
Text to Colt: I do what I can to find her and get her back, but I can't always. It's hard.
Text to Colt: Maybe Lottie will help. I hope she does. I'll get in touch with Ford and Becky.
Text to Colt: Or maybe this is the normal way to react to death and I'm just warped.
Text to Colt: Thanks for going to see her. I'm going to stay at the office a little longer until I can fake like I'm not worried about her again.

Text to Jackie: Staying here a little while longer, sweetheart. Get Adam out of his room and heat him up something for dinner?
Text to Jackie: I love you.

Text to Ford: Hey, man. Hope you're holding up alright. If you need anything...
Text to Ford: Can you do me a favour? Jackie is pretty messed up over everything. If you have Lottie, can you bring her by to see Jackie for a while?
Text to Ford: Of course I'm sure she'd like to see you, too, Lottie or no Lottie.

Text to Becky: Can you do me a big favour if you've got Lottie right now?
Text to Becky: Jackie's really down and I think it might help her to spend some time withLottie. She'd be happy to see you too.

Lottie's here with me. I know everybody's having a hard time with things. I have been trying to stay out of the way to allow for some family time but maybe I forgot that Jackie could probably use some friend time too. I'll check in with her.


Text to Jackie :
Hey, pretty lady! I won't insult your intelligence by telling you I'm randomly checking in on you. We're closing in on bath and bedtime for Lottie but our schedule is completely open tomorrow. And if you need somebody to chat with tonight you feel free to call. I can even get away this evening if need be. Brewer's here to watch Lottie. Keeping you in my prayers. Love you.

Text to Ford: Just got a text from Nando. Hes in town early. Not a real good sign that he felt he had to come early. Going to meet up w/ him.
Text to Ford: The sooner the better on the hunting. My head hurts.
Text to Ford: I cant go away overnight though. I have news on Ten. Not supposed to say anything but I need you to know. Lets meet up
Text to Ford: on all of this.


Text to Nando: Omw.


Text to Lola: When you were w/ Henri was there any talk about signing some sort of document? Like a contract that promised marriage
Text to Lola: and discussed the terms? I know you must not have signed it but did you ever see anything like that? Was it ever discussed?


Text to Ben: Dont know about all that. I know Jay Bird strong as hell but sometime she draws up inside and tries to fight the fight all by herself.
Text to Ben: And sometimes her brothers are idiots and get busy w/ their lives and let her.
Text to Ben: She just needs all of us to be there w/ her so she knows shes not alone. But cant treat her like a baby or shell throw the
Text to Ben: whole lot of us out.

You're talking to the girl who didn't get out of her pajamas for weekends at a time when she was pregnant. You're not horrible. You're doing the best you can. I hear we're playing board games. Has Ford gone on his Monopoly rant yet? Personally, I think he's very upset that they replaced the thimble. We should get him drunk and play Scattergories. He starts yelling at the timer. It's great fun.

Text to Becky: I am heading over to Jackie's soon. I am going to bring over some casseroles for you and her.


Text to Ten: Miss your gorgeous face. Can I come over soon? Travis says I can't keep being a control freak bitch and need to allow people to help me with this wedding. I guess that's my way of saying 'please?' and don't hate me if I say no to everything you suggest?

Text to Becky: Thanks. I know she'll love to see you two. I really appreciate it. If there's ever anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.

Text to Ford: It's like I'm texting Adam. Fvr?
Text to Ford: Thank you. She told me about the board games. Good idea

Text to Colt: Maybe. Maybe I'm just so used to her being her I'm overreacting.
Text to Colt: I just look at her and I see the same look I saw in my ex's eyes every day for two years. It's hard to see that in Jackie now.
Text to Colt: Thanks for spending time with her. I know you've got a lot going on too. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
Text to Colt: Sorry if this is getting too heavy or personal. I don't really unload like this to anyone about these kinds if things, but you and I have caring about Jackie in common.
Text to Colt: And you're not the type to want to hug it out, which I appreciate.
Text to Colt: I'll be fifty in two weeks. It's a little late for me to worry about wrinkles.

Text to Jackie: Can you put me down for a dinner at Avant Sunday at seven? Fancy French place. Big occasion.
Text to Jackie: Maybe you can find me a date for that night, too.

Text to Ford: Forget the agreement. Figured it out. Prenup. No lie.
Text to Ford: Looks like she/Nando are resolving it. Check out the London papers from yesterday and today. The ex's team took some swings
Text to Ford: yesterday. Not a word from her camp but got to believe those pix that are all over the papers today are from hers/Nando's.
Text to Ford: Youre looking for a Ema Kovac. Its a Rhovnik connected identity.
Text to Ford: Yeah. Ill meet you @ ALWE after practice.
Text to Ford: Heads up -- I told Nando he should meet you.


Text to Kat: It was a prenup. Looks like Nando must have taken care of it. Yesterday Hollingsworth was all over London papers complaining
Text to Kat: about being dumped by Ema Kovac. Today pix of him and a variety of women along w/ info about his huge gambling debts.
Text to Kat: Nando doesnt waste any time.


Text to Ben: I believe Jay Bird is strong as hell and will be fine. I refuse to believe anything but. Only been a week. Not enough time.
Text to Ben: Not that much going on really. Got all worked up twice in the last couple weeks about my brothers' lives and both times it
Text to Ben: managed to work itself out. I think we all need to be a little more patient and let things work themselves out. Thats usually
Text to Ben: Jackie and my ma's advice on stuff anyway. Be supportive, be patient. Let people work their way through their grief.
Text to Ben: Here to be unloaded on at anytime.


Text to Jackie: Sorry Ten couldnt make it for game night. She wasnt feeling great and I wanted her just to get some rest. Shes going to stop

Text to Kat: I'm going to be in town for a couple more days while Nando is here and then I think I'm going to bail for a couple days. This whole thing stings a bit. Good news is that Chase and my dad are letting the Hollingsworth thing go. I guess they're pretty appalled by the gambling debts and all the other women. I knew he wasn't exactly faithful but still feels pretty crappy.

Text to Kat: That's all Chase knows about. I didn't tell him about the what else I've been up to. Nando agreed with you. It's best to keep that to myself for now.

Text to Kat: I can't promise to be good company but I'd like to get together before I leave town.

Text to Detective Husband: she said to bring her flowers when u pick her up & wear that tie she likes.

Text to Dylan: thank u for all the food u brought yesterday.
Text to Dylan: i'm pretty sure i might not have to cook the rest of the week.
Text to Dylan: here's hopin adam doesn't start sayin 'how come u can't cook as good as dylan?'
Text to Dylan: cause i'll just have to tell him NO ONE cooks as good as dylan.

Text to Colt: it's okay, i totally understand. trust me, i got people tellin me to rest all the time.
Text to Colt: if her body needs it, she needs it, no point in pushin.
Text to Colt: (easier said than done on my part & since ten is as stubborn as me i can imagine)
Text to Colt: ur sarcasm left a tiny puddle under my phone.
Text to Colt: can't wait to see her tho. u tell her anytime is fine, whenever she's free.

NO MORE CAMO, FORD! And, yes, she's too young to bow hunt, you big goof.

Text to Jackie:
I was going to appeal to you for help in getting your brother to stop dressing my daughter in so much camo and then I realized to whom I was about to appeal and figured that it would only encourage you to buy her more as well.

Text to R. Daniels I don't like sharing you but since it's for LR's best interests, yes. How do you know these things before I do? Also, it's sexy when you talk in abbreviations. Do more of that tango alpha fox double oh stuff.

Text to R.Daniels Aggressive outlet? I thought that hunting day with your brothers took care of things. You okay?

Text to R. Daniels Have you given more thought about your family? I really would like to meet them now that we're in the clear. Especially with the Holidays coming up. I know we talked about it but you were kind of mum on the subject.


Text to R.Daniels I just thought it would be nice. Andy is out of town and you'll be gone. Soph is so busy. It'd be nice to have people in town to do things with. Chase isn't exactly my biggest fan right now. Whatever you think is best.

Text to Colt: You mind telling me what you said to Kat before we broke up?

Text to Kat: Colt brought up the same exact thing which is why I need that outlet.
Text to Kat: Don't worry coming from you it's fine. This is our business to deal with.

The Seaside Sharks were the slight favorites coming into a home match-up against the Beta Divisional leaders, the Luncomb Owls, however, the wide margin of victory was not expected. The Sharks defense led the way in the 34-10 pounding of the Owls, giving the Sharks the second best record in the league at 7-1.

Letter delivered by messenger to Noira's apartment

Noira,

I don't know if you are still here. I've been avoiding looking at any of your information when I'm at work. I'm sorry I got so distant, I just sort of checked out when you told me you weren't going to stay. It was easier to pull away then, rather than spending more time with you, growing more fond of you, and then losing you. You are an amazing friend. Thank you for all of the wonderful times we shared. I miss you. It hasn't been any easier my way. If you are in town, I would love to see you. I'm sorry if I hurt you by being so distant.

Yours,

Jules

Text to Kat: I'm not in town every week but I am on Sundays more often than any other day of the week. But my wine cellar is your wine cellar. I think you clearly need more time with family.

Text to Kat: By the way, I'm hearing rumors that someone was lent out to Laura. I know Laura accepted the help but the news may not go over quite so well with some of our more vocal cousins.

It had been a while since the last time the elfess had threatened to do serious harm to Dauber should he ever act on the urge to paw through her mail (he hadn't, to her knowledge); today, after leaving the following letter sealed in an envelope in Jules' employee mailbox, she had repeated the threat with gusto.

Dearest Jules,

I am still in RhyDin, and while I am unlucky that my first attempt to reopen the road home has failed, I am lucky that it affords me another chance to see all of my friends. Please do not be sorry for your feelings or how you acted, as I fear I felt and acted much the same: I feared what would happen if our attachment grew as much as I doubted my abilities as master of my own heart.

I enjoyed the way we spent our time together for the time that it lasted, no matter the wisdom each of us found within to counsel us away from each other's company for a time, and I feel, with firm conviction, that time away has been much too long. I have missed our friendship and I would love to see you also.

Please write back soon and let me know when we can see each other again. We have so much to share, including compelling evidence that men are, in fact, idiots.

Fondly,
Noira

Text to Soph And put away your popcorn. There better not be any issues over this. Rhett is just trying to do his job and he saw an area where he could be used. He's turned my division around in such a short time, how could anyone get upset?

It was so good seeing you yesterday! You work that blinged out walking boot! Take it easy, okay? So glad to be home. Call/text me if you get bored and need entertaining.


Text to Dylan:
Sorry! I visited Jackie and then I went home to get some stuff done while Charlotte napped but I fell asleep instead. I didn't wake up until Colt stopped by. I am still exhausted. Do you mind coming over here? Bring wedding stuff. I want to hear all about your plans so far.

Text to Ford: Spent some time with my 6 year old cousin, Nick. He is going to make sure I head back to RhyDin full of new puns. Trust me. They're hilarious. Really. So so so funny. My father wasn't so amused. He said that he doesn't know where he went wrong in that my sense of humor never matured past a 6 year old's. I think he's wrong. My sense of humor is at least equivalent to an 11 year old.

Text to Ford: Hitting up Malleys today to meet up with Jakob and Iva. I am bringing you back chocolate. 36 hours!


Text to Kat: You and I are going to have a nice long talk when I get back to RhyDin. Who do you think you are trying to use your latest boy toy to push your way into other divisions? We are independently operated. None of us answer to you. Even Chase doesn't bully our teams around. This is ridiculous. If Laura needs help, she can come to one of us that operates a real division rather than a bunch of diplomats attending wine and cheese parties. He is a glorified body guard to a spoiled heiress who doesn't remember how to get her hands dirty.


Text to Nando: I need to talk to you. Did you hear what Kat did with Laura's team? I'm pretty sure that there are members of Stefan's team that haven't even showered in the length of time that Rhett has worked for this family. At Grandmother's now but I'm so pissed that I cannot wait to get back to RhyDin to get to Chase for allowing this.

Text to Andy So why did you come back? To keep ruining lives or to make things right between us? If it is really the latter, you are doing a crap job. I don't have to explain myself to you. Rhett offered to help Laura's team because he recognized some possible security issues. If Laura has a problem, she can talk to him or me. As to the rest? F*ck you. You don't know sh*t about me and if that is really how you feel about me, then maybe it's best you continue to stay away.

Text to Rhett Is everything okay? Are you and Laura getting along? I've gotten my ass chewed twice now because of this and I am so over it. I am sick of trying to prove myself to these people and sick of giving a damn.

Secure Message to R. Daniels:
AR has requested a training op. AR and her team will be the aggressors. Your team has to protect the asset for 24 hours. We will use a live target -- LR. These things tend to be scary, particularly with AR's team involved, and we think that it will help LR take the threat more seriously. There is a Rowley Training Center like facility a short boat ride from Kalao and that's where we will do it. I know that LR's team isn't ready to handle the experience of AR's so you are allowed to supplement LR's team with KR's for this event. It will be a good opportunity for LR's team to learn from their counterparts. Do not take AR or her team lightly. This is the sort of thing she lives for. AR should be in touch to talk details. I don't think I have to tell you that everyone will be watching. Nobody expects you to win but do not embarrass me.

You can go Fri to take a look around.

Text to Rhett If AR wants me provoked, she has got it. I am not happy with Chase either. For all of AR's finger pointing and foot stomping, she sure is pulling strings and playing games. I want to know what her angle is. And why the f*ck my brother played right into her hand.

Text to Rhett Also. I want in.

Text to Rhett Are you going to your cousin's birthday party? I can go buy a gift for you to bring. You know, if I knew her, then I'd be able to pick up something that she will really like. Just saying.

Text to Kat: Next week I'll figure something out and you can meet people, I promise. I'll send something out before AR and I start our little dance
Text to Kat: Reckon they're up to something other than testing me? Cause I don't mind being tested. Very used to it.

Text to Rhett You love my subtleties. Either way, make sure you go. You don't get enough time with your family. I don't want them to think I am keeping you from them.

Text to Rhett And yes, I do *reckon* (I'm laughing, babe) that they are up to something. Andy is a story teller, if she starts talking, tune out the fanciful details and read between the lines. She is prone to pulling Stunning Cunts. I mean... cunning stunts. ;)

Text to Rhett Do you see what I did there? I love my brother, but at this point I have to be cautious. He gave you a chance too readily. I'm just waiting for the bomb to drop.

Text to Ford: Hardly. You're incredibly self-sufficient. But if you would rather not be for the sake of company I can forget that you don't need my help whenever you would like my help.

Text to Ford: A man brought his retriever to the vet for some tests and had to pay a lab fee. A dog breeder crossed a setter and a pointer at Christmas time and got a pointsetter. A sheep dog puppy who likes cantaloupe is a melon collie baby. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was ticketed for littering.

Text to Ford: I have enough of those to last us alllll trip! Hurry up and come pick me up!!! A road trip to see puppies!!! I'm so excited!!! Can you tell???


Secure Message to Daniels, Rhett: Forty-eight hours and counting!!!! YOU'RE GOING DOOOOOOOWN!!!! Because you're a friend of a friend I'll even give you a tip. The bunker in the blue house in the Sanford village looks super safe and a great place to hold down through dark but I'd take a real close look at the blueprints before you choose it. That's where I beat Chase three years ago.


Text to Kat: You lost the right to play the victim card when you tried to blackmail me. Actually, considering everything you've done, you should have lost it well before that but that was the moment in time in which I was done listening to it. By the way, does your boyfriend know that you threatened to tell Chase about who his baby brother was spending time with? I bet that wouldn't make him too terribly happy.

Text to Ford: Ten's going to stop by the office today for a couple hrs to make sure nothing crazy happens.
Text to Ford: BTW, since Chey isnt living there anymore, that cabin I own bordering my property and Harper's is sitting empty.
Text to Ford: You could take it and we could make a deal on rent so I dont feel guilty about just giving you profit-sharing at the moment.
Text to Ford: 2 bedrooms. Youd be closer to Ten which would make me feel better.

Text to Ten: You and me tonight? Maybe dinner & a movie? Im exhausted. I need some time w/ my wife.
Text to Ten: I warn you in advance that I may fall asleep during the movie.
Text to Ten: Which means Im not going to complain if you pick some stupid foreign flick w/ lots of crying and subtitles.

Text to Andy Are you confused, insane, or lost in your own stories again? Didn't you come here to blackmail ME?! Why would I tell Chase anything? If I remember correctly, I told you that these were good people and not to hurt Rhett's brother.

Text to Andy I am holding you to that. I will tell Chase if I find out you're only here to cause trouble. Other than that, you're a big girl, do what you want. Be happy in life!

Text to Andy I seriously do not know what your issue is. Are you trying to make me insane so that I'll sidetrack Rhett? It's not going to work. You focus on you. When you're ready to stop playing games and be the Andy that I used to know, we'll talk.

Andy Rhovnik

Text to Kat: You sat on the bed at Soph and Alain's and told me that you wouldn't tell Chase about Ford as long as I was honest with you. I asked if you were blackmailing me and you said you were.

Text to Kat: Ford is a friend and he's a grown man. As a grown man he will make the decisions about who he is friends with himself. He doesn't need you protecting him.

Text to Kat: I apologized for my reason behind coming into town. This game between Rhett and I has nothing to do with you. If it did, I wouldn't bother with it. Ford said I should give him a chance. He has a chance.

Text to Kat: I don't need to get into anybody's head. I'm unbeaten. I'm going to destroy Rhett and I'm going to have a blast doing it because this is what I do.

Text to Ford: Not loving the idea of her traveling alone at this point, though. Do you know if anyone's going back?

Text to Jackie: I don't know what that squeal was this morning, but there had better not be 1) additional animals or 2) I guess that's really the only thing I can think of that makes you make that particular noise.
Text to Jackie: Thank you for the gloves. Already used them this morning on the deck. I love them.
Text to Jackie: And you.
Text to Jackie: Think about what you want to do about Thanksgiving. I think you should go home, but I don't want you to drive without someone else.

Text to Andy And that comment had nothing to really do with Ford and you know it. You came here causing trouble and I wanted to make sure you weren't going to cause more.

Text to Andy Do you really think I'd risk Chase's wrath on another Daniels family member? I swore to protect them, Andy. I would never throw Ford or any other member of that family under the bus.

Text to Andy Ford is a grown man. He can do whatever he wants, including you. I am fine with that. It's YOU I was worried about. If you're being honest with him and not playing any games, fine. We have nothing to worry about. Can you honestly blame me for being cautious? For wanting to protect my boyfriend's family?

Text to Andy These people are not used to our f*cked up lives. And yes, you did apologize, but I need to see action too. We haven't spoken in years, I don't know you any more. It would be foolish of me to not do what I have done to protect those I care about.

Text to Andy And Rhett does not need your approval or your chances. You just have fun destroying things, Andy.

Secure message to Daniels, Rhett: TWENTY-FOUR SHORT HOURS UNTIL YOU ARE MINE! Metaphorically speaking, of course, since I sort of think your brother is kind of awesome (but that's just between us girls). I've got a tip of the day for you too because I'm super helpful like that. If you're bringing Richie with you from Kat's team do NOT listen to him about the sewer system. He's done this game multiple times over the last couple of years and always has the same idea. It's a bad idea. Don't let his experience fool you. Great marksman and maybe the best driver in the organization but, damn, is he awful at this game.

Secure message to Daniels, Rhett: Btw, my team and I have a little surprise for your team this evening. The staff of Kalao will be serving a "last meal" for your group in the mess at 1800. It's a traditional thing my team does for our opponents before we school them. Enjoy! And get some rest tonight because you won't be getting any tomorrow.

Text to Colt: Also, I talked to my mom and she mentioned something weird about Thanksgiving... Are you guys all going home? Maybe I should tell my mom I live in Sussex at Travis' estate, it might be easier than this whole back and forth mess.

Text to Ford: A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was a nurse said 'No change yet'.

Text to Ford: I'm going dark until Monday morning to deal with Rhett. I'll tell him you said hi right after I beat him. Think about that pretty little girl who is coming home with you in a couple weeks. You better figure out a name for her! We will figure out this thing with your parents. See you soon!

Text to Dylan :
Yes! Absolutely. Ford, Charlotte, and I go every week with Jackie, Ben, and Adam and then we do lunch.

Text to Ben: B: try to convince them that this is Biloxi and hope they dont ask to see the Gulf or wonder why its so damn cold.
Text to Ben: ****, I know neither of those ideas sound good.

You better believe there will be a rematch in which I will show you how sharp my teeth are and, in the meantime, keep in mind my offer about cross-divisonal work. I'm sure I'll come to you one day soon with a bit of trouble you can help me cause. Trouble and I are never too far apart. You can buy me a root beer the next time we're both in RhyDin to make up for my boots.


Secure message to Rhovnik, Chase: Thank you. We start preparing for the Millbourne trip this afternoon. The Prince won't know what hit him. We'll get in, get the information you need, and get out. No worries. I got this.

Text to Ben: That would leave Jackie and Becky Rose and Ford and maybe Andy and maybe Rhett to deal w/ mom and dad in Biloxi.
Text to Ben: The thought terrifies me.
Text to Ben: I dont know how much Jackie's told you about our family history.
Text to Ben: She seems to be able to ignore the bad stuff or maybe she just was too young to remember.
Text to Ben: In a nut shell, heres the problem...
Text to Ben: Jackie really is Dads favorite. Shes not making that up.
Text to Ben: Rhett and Dad cant be left in a room together and Rhett avoids being in a room w/ him.
Text to Ben: And the last thing my lil brother needs right now is Dad riding his ***.
Text to Ben: So if this is going to happen I think we're better w/ strength in #s.
Text to Ben: Talk to Jackie about what she thinks -- tell them the truth or pretend RhyDin is Biloxi and keep them distracted.
Text to Ben: Id do it but I think youd be better at not raising her blood pressure at this point.


Text to Ben, Jackie, Ford, Dylan, and Travis: About to get in uniform. Just wanted to drop you all a line. Im sorry that I didnt

Text to Ben, Jackie, Ford, Dylan, and Travis: Im picking her up after the game.)
Text to Ben, Jackie, Ford, Dylan, and Travis: Love you guys!


Text to Avy: Can you tell your dad that I need to talk to him? Ten needs her family. I think mine is coming into town for Thanksgiving.
Text to Avy: Maybe its time for the Caselys and the Daniels to meet. Or if you think thats too much maybe your family can come in
Text to Avy: closer to Christmas. She cant go through the holidays.
Text to Avy: Tell Monday his sister needs him and not to be a ****.
Text to Avy: Maybe you should put that last bit in your own words. You know, pretty it up.

Text to Becky and Ford: Hey guys, yesterday was nice! I love us all going to church as a family and brunch was great too.

Text to Becky: Can I borrow Charlotte one day this week?

Text to Colt: I'm cheering you on! Also, maybe we should just tell the truth about Rhydin. Maybe my parents would be able to come here then for the wedding. It could solve a lot of problems. I mean, when Jackie has the baby, your mom will want to be there, right?

Text to Colt: Lying is hard work, especially with all of us coming and going. We all handled the change well, they might all surprise us. Lets just not tell them about my being a Wolf... I think all of our "talents" are hard enough to handle.

Text to Rhett: I found this amazing retro industrial table. It needs a little elbow grease, but after I shine it up, I think it'd be awesome at your place. Let me know if you want to see it.

Text to Jackie: I found a recipe for bread pudding with a Jack and Coke syrup drizzle. All the liquor is cooked out of it so it's Lilly safe. Care to be my test dummy?

Text to Chase I have complete faith in Rhett and his abilities. I am still not amused. I am however annoyed. You have some making up to do to your baby sister and you know you can't tell me no. I need some cheering up. Make time for me? I need some non business time with my brother. Also, anything you want to tell me about Cait?

Text to Audrey: Yes, I am still talking to you. Sorry I've been kind of busy lately, but don't ask me what because it's all a blur. Also, stop hinting at my brother's hotness. It's gross. Also, I swear to the spaghetti monster, I will break your fingers if you go near him.

Text to Travis: Audrey is still wandering around, just FYI.

A Letter Sent to Noira

Noira,

I was staying at my brothers for a little while and had a hold on my mail. I just picked it up and went through all of it and saw your letter. I am so glad you are still in town and well. Or at least you were at the time of your letter. I hope this letter still finds you well. When can I see you? Are you available for dinner Thursday? I would love to take you out. Please let me know.

If you want to know something about Cait, though, I suggest you speak with her. I've been married long enough to know better than to give away my wife's secrets.


Text to Rhett: Tomorrow @ 7. You pick the place.


Text to Andy: You should be too busy to be giving Kat a hard time and the manner in which you're doing it is so immature that I do not know where to begin with you. I'm looking the other way about your Daniels for now. Don't irritate me.

Text to Chase But I will talk to Cait. Tomorrow, after you and I eat. Besides, I need to see my niece. I haven't seen Georgie in way too long. Maybe Cait and I should go to the island. Would you mind if I stole her away for a weekend?

Game Alerts on 'Seaside Sharks' --
The atmosphere in the Seaside stadium was electric Monday night as they hosted their divisional rivals, the Dockside Divers. As usual there was no love lost between these two teams and the electricity spilled over into the stadium. Multiple times the two teams had to be separated in this prize heavyweight bout. The Divers were looking to regain a bit of dignity after the Sharks had battered them in the Divers' home stadium earlier in the year when the Divers' were without their star quarterback, Mike Tlexer. With the final seconds ticking down, the Sharks defense was able to make a goal line stand, holding Tlexer off and securing a 24-20 Sharks victory -- their ninth of the season. The Sharks record now stands at an impressive 9-1 as they go off-world next week to face the Bennettville Weevils.


Game Day Alerts! on "Colt Daniels" --
T-A 9-4
SCK 1
INT 0
FF 0
Note: Tlexer mentioned in his post game interview the difficulty of facing middle linebacker, Colt Daniels -- "It's an audible for audible sort of thing. He can read the offensive changes on the field and make adjustments to coverage. Games like this are a chess match."

Text to Jules: Glad you had fun. Youre welcome here anytime.


Text to Dylan: Maybe you girls are right. I dont want it to get too far out. I think were safer back home the fewer people know.

Text to Jackie: Yeah, Rhetts dating my ex. Lola. Dont get me started.
Text to Jackie: We're not actually talking at the moment. Rhett and I, that is.
Text to Jackie: Only time he gets in touch anyway is when he needs something from me.
Text to Jackie: Not even really sure the last time he saw me play ball. He doesnt even know about Ten.
Text to Jackie: With everything going on in my life, some days it would be nice to have a big brother who gave a ****.
Text to Jackie: Whatever. Anyway Andy and Lola -- her real name is Kat -- are cousins.
Text to Jackie: They used to be BFFs. Dont get along much these days.
Text to Jackie: Which could make Thanksgiving entertaining.
Text to Jackie: That is if you make me invite Rhett to Thanksgiving which Im assuming you will.
Text to Jackie: Speaking of which, I think youre right, Jay Bird.
Text to Jackie: How about this?
Text to Jackie: Im too sore to get out of bed at the moment but how about I drive us to Georgia tomorrow. Day trip.
Text to Jackie: We see Mom and Dad and tell them together. Just the bare bones of it.
Text to Jackie: We'll go back the day before Tgiving and pick them up.
Text to Jackie: I dont think Dad staying at my house is a good idea.
Text to Jackie: He and I dont get along and stress will just make Ten's condition worse.
Text to Jackie: So for Thanksgiving how about they stay at your new place but we do Thanksgiving at my new place?

Text to Jackie: Its your home, Jay Bird. You rule that roost.
Text to Jackie: Pretty sure Rhett's probably going to say this but give her a chance. Rhett loves her.
Text to Jackie: Lets not tell Ten yet that she might be coming to our house for Thanksgiving. That may not go over well.
Text to Jackie: Is that the sort of news I should deliver w/ flowers?
Text to Jackie: I dont think they make a 'sorry my ex who is now banging my brother is coming for Thanksgiving' greeting card.
Text to Jackie: Dont get into this whole Thanksgiving/Biloxi/Mom/Dad thing w/ Rhett.

Text to Colt: Finding out about your brothers' girlfriends, this whole Thanksgiving thing.
Text to Colt: It's a lot all at once for her, especially now.
Text to Colt: Of course, worrying about your wife isn't really something I have to explain to you, I suppose.
Text to Colt: I know you won't let anything happen to her, or to Lily.
Text to Colt: Who knows, maybe it won't go so badly. They took the news that Jackie and I were seeing each other okay.
Text to Colt: And Jackie had sort of left out the age thing, so that was a surprise for them when I met them.
Text to Colt: Maybe after 20-something years they've given up on being upset about surprises?
Text to Colt: Good luck, either way.

Text to Jackie: Tu m'appartiens, ma petite biche. Jusqu'a la fin.

Text to Rhett Whatever you want to do is fine with me. I am leaving this all up to you as to if and when I get to meet them. I'm nervous though and it has nothing to do with Andy, but every thing to do with "Lola."

Text to Rhett I was with Chase today. He told me he mentioned something to Andy. I don't even know how he knew she was getting to me, but now I'll probably hear about that too. Oh well.

Text to Rhett I am a diplomat, you know I am amazing at putting on a good face and getting along with people I'd rather be shooting. Let me know details on this dinner thing. I'm playing with my niece right now, but maybe you and I can have dinner tonight.

Text to Colton Daniels So Rhett might actually (finally???) be introducing me to some of the family. I'm nervous as hell. Any advice? Also he mentioned there might be some family thing during the weekend. Will you be there?

Text to Colton Daniels Is that going to be awkward? I mean you and I have hashed things out, but what about Rhett and your wife? I don't want anyone getting upset or things being weird. Also, are things okay with you and Rhett?

Colt Daniels

Text to Kat: I dont know anything about any family thing this weekend.
Text to Kat: I dont think my wife's problem w/ you is so much the fact that you have slept w/ me. Thats not exactly an exclusive club.
Text to Kat: Her problem w/ you are the times you were in our old house uninvited -- the flowers on our bed, the gun to my head.
Text to Kat: You probably wont win Ten over. Best just to stay out of her way. Dyl will be polite b/c she always is. As long as you behave
Text to Kat: yourself Jay Bird will put up w/ you for Rhett's sake. Maybe shell eventually come around. Ford wont get involved
Text to Kat: but I wouldnt take any low blows against Andy around him.
Text to Kat: I told Rhett this and Im telling you too -- do NOT start anything w/ Ten. Ordinarily Id tell you to go for it b/c my wife
Text to Kat: can hold her own but she cannot be provoked right now. None of us will put up w/ it.


Text to Dylan: Lets see how this goes w/ my parents first. We're going to make sure my parents understand the importance
Text to Dylan: keeping it a secret.


Text to Ben: Shell be ok. She sometimes gets rattled but she always comes out swinging.
Text to Ben: Speaking of my brothers and their new girls, I hear youre having them all over for dinner.
Text to Ben: Those girls dont exactly get along. Id expect subtle warfare with Ford and Rhett trying to keep them in order.
Text to Ben: Which sounds absolutely ****ing hilarious to me.
Text to Ben: As a detective I assume you have a fair amount of surveillance equip.
Text to Ben: You should wire your house for vid/sound and let Ten and I watch.
Text to Ben: Thats what I call a full evening's worth of entertainment.
Text to Ben: Seriously, though, Im sure theyll behave themselves.
Text to Ben: And this trip might not be so bad. Ma never really yells at me and Dad never really yells at Jay Bird so this may work.
Text to Ben: Ill see you in a bit when I pick her up.


Text to Jackie: I havent gotten her anything shiny lately. Maybe I should spring for something. We can talk on the way.
Text to Jackie: Ill be there to pick you up in about an hour.

Noira,

I was staying at my brothers for a little while and had a hold on my mail. I just picked it up and went through all of it and saw your letter. I am so glad you are still in town and well. Or at least you were at the time of your letter. I hope this letter still finds you well. When can I see you? Are you available for dinner Thursday? I would love to take you out. Please let me know.

Jules

Noira's reply to Jules arrived Wednesday morning. As was often the case with the scholarly elfess' correspondence, it was started on a clean sheaf of parchment but by the time she was done, it had been stained, scratched, scribbled and otherwise marked by the research materials that cluttered the little desk she kept in her bedroom.

A charcoal rubbing of what appeared to be a warrior-saint, clutching the iconic Scales of Justice in one hand and a chakram in the other, had been transferred onto the top right corner of the letter. An interrupted string of Stone-Scars, the rough written word of the wild goblins, abruptly began and ended along the bottom left. There were ash smudges where her fingers had touched the edges and back while folding it in three, similarly marking the envelope she'd sealed it in -- the wax stamped with the iconic hourglass of the Mystic Legion, as usual.

It read as follows:

Dear Jules,

I am still in town and quite well, and I hope that you likewise share my good health. I will be attempting the doorway to Halcyr again on Sunday the 24th, so I apologize if I seem nervous, excited or generally just plain weird tomorrow; I also apologize that I do not have time to transcribe this letter onto cleaner parchment.

Can we have dinner early, in Stars End if possible? I am still scheduled for work at the bar at eight o'clock, and the closer I am to my work for dinner, the longer I can spend with my friend.

Yours very sincerely,
Noira

Shortly thereafter, she pushed a letter under the shop door downstairs for Mud Dauber.

Dmitry,

I can already feel you rolling your eyes at me for both sending a letter and not walking in to hand it to you, so stop it: I'd rather not deal with the noisy idiots buying their buckshot-guns in your shop right now, esp. not after what they said about Nini providing "exotic entertainment" on their trip.

When you shake them off, please close the shop, come upstairs and listen to me worry about the portal. I'll make tea.

~ Noira

P.S. Let Nini know I may be leaving the realm soon, so I am open to committing a few violent acts before I rejoin the Legion if she has need.

Text to Colton DanielsAt least you are still good at defusing awkward situations with humor. You know that what happened last year isn't me. Now I've just got to prove to every one else that it isn't.

Text to Colton DanielsI swear I am on my best behavior. I want this to work and there is no reason it shouldn't. I've charmed Kings and Congressmen, it'll be a fun challenge to get your wife and family to like me too. But I'm determined.

Text to Colton DanielsAs far as Andy goes, I'm just letting things roll off my back from now on and am going to do my best to be positive or ignore her. She's going through a lot right now, so I have to be patient.

Text to Colton Daniels I know you are stubborn and will refuse and help from me is probably not welcomed by Tenacity, but if you need anything, you know I am always just a text or call away.

Text to Andy I hear we have a family dinner coming up. Maybe you and I should meet for lunch before that happens and talk. Chase said you had a mission coming up. When does it happen?

"Hi! So, I'm so sorry it took me a couple of days but ... sorry, some douche in a costume just almost tripped me. Anyway! I talked to the troops aaaaand, per the usual, pops will be out on the road. BUT, he promised that Christmas was a better, more viable option. Expect his call eventually. Monday doesn't like traveling with mom and he has some girl who he already promised to crash with for the holidays, but I made him promisepromisepromise that he would try for Christmas or around then, too. So we'll hold him to that. BUT I will be there and so will my mom...yay for you ...and Boston! His mom passed away last January, and his partner's family isn't okay with the whole gay thing, still, so he decided it might be nice to come. Is that okay? No Mandy, for obvious reasons. Okay. Well, call me---no, text me. Text me and we can sort out the last details. Love you!"

Text to Colton Daniels Why is Rhett a dip@#$% ? Are you still angry about he and I being together? I'll take it slow with your family. I'm not expecting over night miracles. As for Andy, well, she kind of had herself a "Henri" situation. She seems okay though. I think. Aside from the chip you mentioned.

Text to Colton Daniels I've got nothing against her, we've just grown apart. I think when it comes down to it, we will still have one another's back.

Text to Rhett 4:12 PM I can't figure out what to wear. I haven't had dinner with a normal family in... like ever. I'm also super nervous. Maybe I should bring presents. Flowers? Something? Come over and save me from myself by kissing me senseless.

Text to Colt: Uh. No. No I hadn't. I am not really in a decision making frame of mind. I'll call my mom. I just need to do this, get it over with, like every thing else. And yes, of course I am helping cook the dinner. I've already started cooking and stocking the deep freezer, it'll help when the big day comes. Thanksgiving, that is the big day I am talking about. Not my wedding. I am not discussing my wedding.

Text to Becky: I've been around. I'm sort of in freak out mode. Please don't tell anyone. I just have been sort of quietly nervous about the wedding and then I talked to Ford this morning. Did you know he is looking for a different home?

Text to Becky: What if he rents out the cabin or or or sells it! I always kind of thought you know that I could go back, buy it back from him or crash there if I needed to. But if he leaves, then I can't.

Text to Becky: Which really puts the nail in this whole me being with Travis... forever... thing. But that's good, right? You're supposed to marry one person and be together forever.

Text to Becky: I seriously need to stop thinking. I want to marry him, I do, but every time I think about it, I just get so scared. It's so stupid, I know it is. I don't know what's wrong with me. Can you spare some time for me? I think I need a bottle of wine and a slap upside the head.

Secure message to Kat: Look, I think you are in desperate need of perspective. You need to remember the good that we do and that you're not just doing this because you were born into it. At one point you felt it in your soul which is why you chose to be a Rhovnik, not a Stafford. When I get back we'll start talking about a real mission. Not some wine and cheese party for a diplomat. A real mission where good will come from it and there will be a gun in your hands. Better have Rhett get you back into a range.


Secure message to Rhett: Kat's got to remember why she's doing this. You're never happy unless you fully believe in what you're committing your life to. You are starting to believe, aren't you? Help me get her to believe again. A real mission. Are you in?


Secure message to Nando: Hey, you. Worried about you. I've heard that you've had multiple dates with Elsie's bevel of ladies. Did you do something wrong again? Can you please stay out of trouble with Chase? I'm a little nervous about this trip. I screwed up with Rhett. My dad says I was more interested in beating Rhett than focusing on the goal of the game.

The only requirements she seems to have set are that they are under 25, healthy and connected. Chase is always pissed about something. I told him your special friend has no talents. He thinks I am lying. Imagine that. Be careful. I have a couple of leads I am following up on for my own interest, but I am having to move very slowly. The name Barlington mean anything?

Text to Andy I know we do good, I wouldn't have involved Rhett if I didn't believe in the work that we do. At the same time, I have so much guilt for involving him in the first place. I'm not supposed to, he and I talked about it and my guilt caused some issues before for us, but it's hard to let go.

Text to Andy Rhett's been working with me. I'm better than I've ever been and I know I can do the job, but some days it's hard to know if I want to. I've never been with someone that I cared about building a future with and it sort of just has me thinking about so many things I never had let myself think about before.

Text to Andy Don't worry, I'm not going to give up my name. I just need to get over this hump. Maybe some field work would do me good. I can let you in on a little something Rhett and I have been working on. I hope your mission goes well. Be safe.

Text to Ford: With Rhett? Seriously?
Text to Ford: You know I invited him to Thanksgiving and told him Ten was sick and didnt get a response.
Text to Ford: Typical. No idea if hes even planning on coming.
Text to Ford: Btw, Margie and Chris as tenants?
Text to Ford: They dont annoy you enough in their current capacity?
Text to Ford: Ive never been to the island. Im a little jealous. How is it?

Text to Andy: Heard youre taking off. You take care of yourself.
Text to Andy: And dont worry about dad and Ford if you cant get back in time.
Text to Andy: I can handle it. Been doing it for years.
Text to Andy: Stay safe.


Text to Dylan: That was such a rambling rant that it suggests you might need to talk.
Text to Dylan: Want to hang out tomorrow?


Text to Kat: Rhett's a self-centered dip **** b/c he was born that way.
Text to Kat: Not everything btwn us is about you.
Text to Kat: He and I were brothers long before you came into the picture.


Text to Jackie: I need to get one of those letters from my wife.
Text to Jackie: I just dont think the chances of her issuing one is all that great.
Text to Jackie: Ten's mom, Avy, Boston and his partner are coming too.
Text to Jackie: Theyll be staying here.
Text to Jackie: Tens mom never visits and she isnt particularly fond of me.
Text to Jackie: Im nervous as hell.
Text to Jackie: Ten doesnt know that theyre coming.
Text to Jackie: Maybe I shouldnt let this be a surprise. Would you think it was a good surprise or a bad surprise?

Text to Jackie :
I never thought I would be a big family sort of girl. I just love being a mom and I want to do it over and over and over again. It's going to be difficult with Brewer away so much but I have Ford and you all and Brewer keeps talking about hiring 'help' once we buy the new house. I'm dragging my feet. On the help, not the house.

Text to Jackie :
I'll see you in a bit at church. Ford isn't coming but I think we should still do lunch. I can't get enough of you guys! Plus, I want to talk to Adam about a new art show at one of museums. I was hoping he would go with me after school one afternoon this coming week.


Text to Dylan :
Deep breaths. Yes, Ford needs something with a room for Charlotte. I think he's talking about the cabin near Colt. The cabin he is in now is tiny. Were you really thinking you would be able to crash there with him if something happened between you and Travis? Has something happened between you and Travis?

Text to Dylan :
Are you coming to church? Ford is out of town until later today but I'm still doing lunch with Jackie and her family. Come to church with Lottie and I and then come to lunch. After lunch we can come back to my house and talk. Brewer usually spends Sundays on his ship since I'm busy. He won't be back until dinner time. It'll just be us girls. Come on. Get your butt in gear.

Game Alerts on 'Seaside Sharks' --
The Seaside Sharks nearly unblemished record was taken on the road this past week to the off-world Bennettville Weevils. The Sharks defense was too much for the Weevils who have been badly damaged by both injuries and off-the-field issues. The Sharks defense struggled early to get their feet under them but the defense helped with three turnovers to give them a short field to work on. With a final score of 17-7, the Sharks stretched their record to 10-1 and will be home next week facing division rivals, the Old Temple Hawks.


Game Day Alerts! on "Colt Daniels" --
T-A 9-1
SCK 1
INT 1
FF 0
Note: After leading his team in a stellar defensive performance that included one sack and one interception, look for Daniels to be a leading candidate for Conference Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday.

Text to Colt: Yes, I want to hang out tomorrow. I'll be okay, just having a spastic moment. I'm going to hang out with Bec after church and lunch, so I'm sure I'll be feeling better. But I can never turn down time with ya.

Text to Becky 7:35 AM: Yeah, I'm coming to church and lunch. And no, I never really even considered going back to that cabin. It was just like it hit me, like this realization that this IS happening. I thought men were supposed to get cold feet.

Text to Becky 7:38 AM: I don't know what's wrong with me . It's almost like things worked out too well, too perfect, and I'm just waiting for it all to come crashing down and then where will I go? I'm insane. I know I'll feel better after we talk. Love you and Charlotte. See you soon.

Text to Travis: Thanks Babe. Chili sounds good, but I won't be home until probably dinner time. Save me some? I'm going to go over to Becky's for a little girl time. Love you.

Text to Kat: Hey I stole your number from Rhett the other day. I haven't had the chance to hang out with you yet. How about us girls get lunch one day this week? I hear you're a pro-shopper too. ;)

Text to Colton Daniels Hey calm down. You said he was a dipshit about women, I assumed that meant me. He loves you Colt, so much. Whatever is going on, you guys will settle it. You of all people know how much doing what we do can take over your life. I shouldn't get in the middle of this, I know it's not my business. You have to know I do care about you both and you are important to him.

Text to Dylan Daniels I'm assuming this is Dylan. I'd love to get together. How about Tuesday around noon? Let me know.

Text to Rhett Thank you for last night, it was perfect and I loved getting to meet some of your family. You think it went okay?

Andy Rhovnik

Date: 2013-11-24 21:42 EST
Text to Jackie: I'm headed out of town on business but I'm certainly going to try. A holiday with the Daniels seems as entertaining as a holiday with a large gathering of my family. Take care! Hope to see you Thursday!


Text to Colt: I will. Thanks for the reassurance on Ford.


Text to Kat: I've dated a lot of older men so let me give you just a little hint. They like their decisions to be respected. He made the decision to take the job. He then made the decision to sleep with you. He then made another decision to make the relationship public. Don't make an issue of it. Respect the fact that he made an informed decision.
Text to Kat: Whatever you do, if I don't make it back in time for Thanksgiving do NOT bring up your past relationship with Colt in anybody's presence again. That was not the brightest move you've ever made in the bar Friday night. It hurts all of them. All of them. After the pranks you pulled and how it must feel for Rhett that the brother he doesn't exactly get along with has a 'Been There, Done That' t-shirt when it comes to you, it's best if they all think that Lola is gone and out of their lives and Kat is the new, down-to-earth, sweet woman in Rhett's life.
Text to Kat: Maybe down to earth is a bit of a long shot. Let's just aim for sweet.
Text to Kat: Safe talking points: cute stories about Rhett growing up, food, L-tryptophan. Not so safe talking points: ivy league educations, Colt, work.
Text to Kat: I'm going to try to be back in time but you can handle it even if I'm not. Lighten up. Stop fretting. Being in love is fun so stop thinking so much and let go a little bit.


Secure message to Nando: Please don't take another step down that path until you talk to me. Seriously. We need to get you into town. I'm thinking about creating a stunt after my birthday where I will need my "big brother" to swoop in to pick up the pieces. It should cover a trip to RhyDin. Be careful. And please please please try to stay out of the doghouse while I'm gone. I'm in so over my head here. Love you.


Secure message to Rhett: Got some news from Nando that Ford was able to decipher a bit. Not enough info to be able to make head or tails of it. Going to try to get Nando into town but I may have to pull a stunt to cover it. Don't say anything to Kat yet. I don't want to ask her to lie to Chase. Make some time for me when I get back in town, though. Take care.

Text to Andy You're younger than me, how is it that you got so much wiser about men then I did? I'm trying to respect his decisions, but you don't have any of his family members breathing down your neck. And I won't make that mistake again, about Colt.

Text to Andy I just got paranoid. Chase doesn't know and can never know. I would never say something like that in front of his wife though! Rhett said he didn't get up because of that though... do you know something I don't?

Text to Andy Colt deserved every single one of those "pranks" but that hatchet is buried between he and I and "Lola" is gone. And I am down to earth and sweet. Don't take pot shots at me. I've even gone fishing with Rhett and wore Khaki cargo pants!

Text to Andy I think I'll avoid 'cute' stories about Rhett growing up. Growing up wasn't much fun for him, I don't think. Maybe that's what upset him the other night. Comparing his dad to mine. :/

Text to Andy Either way, Thanksgiving will be perfect. Nothing is going to stop it from being a great Holiday together. I hope you can make it back. Be safe.

Text to Andy P.S. I'm sorry I gave you crap about Ford. You guys were really adorable the other night. I'm glad he makes you happy, Andy. Really. You deserve it.

Text to Travis: Talked to my mom and dad, they are coming HERE for Thanksgiving. We need to go get them tomorrow. Beware, Dad is not too happy. Stick to happy topics: fishing, hunting, and football. Might want to call Colt for help on that last one.

Text to Colt: So you now have a great liar/storyteller on staff. Literally master level. I'm like a Houdini at talking my way out of things. You just tell me where I'm needed.


Text to Kat: I got wiser about men because while you were dating boys like Colt and Henri I was dating 40-something year old men with kids. None of them were ever thrilled with me but at the end of the day, it really didn't matter. Of course you want his family to like you but the most important person already does. Relax. Otherwise you're just going to come off as an uptight witch.
Text to Kat: Ford and I are good friends. And sometimes I occupy his bed. I really don't know why you seem to think there is something more there.
Text to Kat: By the way, I'm back in town. Got back much earlier than I was expecting. Much much earlier. You'll see the reports soon but, in short, I saved my reputation at least through the holidays.


Secure message to Nando: Oh, Nando! My stunts are always so much fun! Remember my plan that time in Icecrest when we took the ponies over the frozen pond to get those great pastry things I like in that village? So we nearly froze and the ice cracked a bit but those pastries were soooo good! I'm spending Thanksgiving here. Ford talked himself into a bit of a mess and I wanted to be here to help him out. But, yes, I'll wait. I can get you a number not attached to me. When do you think you can call? I really really miss you. Forwarding you a rough draft of my report on the Northern Teifer job now. I want to finalize it today so everyone has read it before Thanksgiving. I don't mind them talking about Rhett's success but I want them talking about mine as well. I can't have them thinking that I am less effective with Ford in my life than I was without him. In fact, they need to think I'm more effective. I have to push harder.


Secure message to Chase: Reports from Jim, Pelin, and I on Northern Teifer job will be coming through today.

Text to Travis: I think that it's romantic that you're taking the winter off work so we can focus on planning the wedding and go on vacation. Mom and Dad know you work hard, they wouldn't say anything. But okay, I won't say anything.

Text to Travis: Yes, he is. You know what makes Daddy happy? A happy Dyl. Don't let him scare you, he likes you, he's just gruff. And we're going to do our best to keep them at the house or Colt's. And we ARE NOT bringing up any werewolf business.

Text to Travis: Just remember I love you and that is enough. You'll love Thanksgiving with our family.


Text to Colt: He'll be okay. Thanks for going, I was able to get some extra baking done with the time I saved. I made monkey bread, cinnamon rolls, and quiches for breakfast. I'll drop them off to everyone later so y'all will have them in the AM.

Text to Jackie, Ford, Rhett, Becky: I'll be dropping breakfast off at y'alls houses a bit later. FORD, it's for TOMORROW, don't eat it tonight. But if you do, you know my door is open.

Text to Jules: Hey girly, why don't you come over and stay the night? My parents are getting in a little bit later and I want you to meet them and you can eat dinner with us tonight. You can help charm my dad so he won't look so grumpy.

Text to Colton Daniels In only ways that won't get either of us killed of course. I only worry and get involved because I care. But I'm done. Promise. Mostly. :) Thanksgiving will be great, don't fret.

Text to Andy Still going with that good friends thing, huh? Are you totally blind? THIS is why I was being tough on you. Are you sure he feels the same way?

Text to Andy Based upon what I saw the other night, yes, I do think there is something more there. It's okay if you do like him as more than a bed buddy. I won't say anything. If you are sticking to your story, okay, fine, you guys are really cute bed buddies.

Text to Andy I'm glad you're back and safe and your reputation is as sterling as ever. Now come over here and help me pick out an outfit! What the heck do I wear? Rhett said jeans. Jeans? Really? You think?

Text to Kat: You seriously need to stop worrying about Ford. He's a big boy with big boy decision-making skills. He and I are on the same page.
Text to Kat: Okay, okay. I'm sort of awake. I've been sleeping all day trying to catch up. You are wearing jeans and no cashmere or silk. By the way, do you own a pair of jeans that cost less than the average monthly rent of a 2-bedroom apartment in Cleveland? Never mind. I don't want to know the answer. I'm on my way.


Text to Ford: So I went out to go make sure that Kat wasn't planning on wearing a Burberry mini-dress and Louboutin pumps to dinner tomorrow and when I got back there was monkey bread on your porch! Monkey bread on your porch!!!!
Text to Ford: There are fabulous fairies living in your woods that bake MONKEY BREAD!
Text to Ford: There may be a little less monkey bread now.

Text to Colt: They are so enamoured with Jackie and Lily that I don't think I need to worry much, at least.
Text to Colt: Thanks for picking them up. What time tomorrow?
Text to Colt: And I heard the news - congratulations. You earned it, seriously.

Text to Andy Jesus. You don't get it. I'm not worried about him! I'm worried about you! Okay, well maybe a little worried about him (but mostly because he's Rhett's brother). I don't want you to get hurt either. But you're a big girl, you know what you're doing and I support you.

Text to AndyJust because we have money doesn't mean I ONLY buy expensive labels. I own jeans from Forever 21 and Holister and the Gap. Those are pretty standard brands.

Text to Andy 1 Hour Later Thanks for your help! There was nothing wrong with that Burberry dress. Chase (Cait) got it for me for Christmas last year! And those pumps were festive! I'm trusting you though.

I'll tell you about the conversation with my dad when I get home. I just don't think I can talk about it over the phone. My dad was really happy to see me, though. Call me when you get a chance.


Text to Kat: I know I didn't get a chance to say it but I think you did well Thursday. I'm in Ohio until Monday night. My dad was ticked I missed Thanksgiving so I decided to surprise him. Plus, figured it would give me Monday in the main office. I'll bring you back some Malley's chocolate.


Secure message to Nando: Missed you by 5 hours. I decided to surprise my dad. I promise I'm not running from RhyDin. I did what we talked about but I can't leave things hanging with my dad.

Text to Travis: Having to pretend we're cold and wearing hoodies sucks. It's hot. Am I panting yet? Maybe since we're in a box we can say we're warm enough.

Game Alerts on 'Seaside Sharks' --
The Old Temple Hawks just didn't have enough in the tank for the Seaside Sharks this past week as the Seaside Sharks continue their impressive streak towards the playoffs. The Sharks' defense allowed only two field goals and kept the Hawks out of the end zone for a 27-6 Sharks win. The Sharks are off-world next week to face the Wellite City Wolves.


Game Day Alerts! on "Colt Daniels" --
T-A 6-2
SCK 0
INT 1
FF 0
Note: Daniels' timely interception as the Hawks tried to make a second half stand proved to be the final nail in their coffin. With his fifth interception of the year, there is talk of back-to-back Defensive Player of the Week nods.

Looks like it's going to be Tuesday evening before I'm home. I miss you. I will call this evening.


Text to Kat: You're good? The holiday weekend didn't kill you, right? I'm going to be here another day. Now I remember why I try to avoid Ohio this time of year. It is so dreary.


Secure message to Rhett: I've been asked about you no fewer than a dozen times. My grandmother, my father, a couple of my uncles, some of the upper brass. There's starting to be a general consensus that you might be underutilized. Nando is coming in town next week. We should probably grab a drink while he's here. It's not really a social call.

Text to Colt: Since we cracked our silence on Rhy'din, that ought to make some things easier. How did things go with Ten's mom? You let me know if you guys need anything. Travis is finishing up work for the winter, so I'll need work to do and people to visit, or else we'll kill each other if we're together 24/7 for the next 3 or so months. :P

Text to Ford: Keep, sell, give away, whatever you want. We already have too much stuff. Travis has his other house that his sister rents and it's furnished and our place has everything that he and I picked out together. Why not rent the place as furnished? Might fetch a better rate!

Text to Ford: Travis has the winter off from work, so if the old place or new place need any work or you need a fix up buddy, let him know.

Text to Rhett: You're funny. You know that? Brightest ray of sunshine my ass. So what is it you do these days, exactly?

Text to Travis: Seeee I told you he liked you. Are pigs flying? Did hell freeze over? :P He isn't one for change, so bare with him. He's getting there. He did say you could marry me, so you must be doing something right. Love you.

Text to Kat: I'm spending today hiding out at Ford's so I can get some studying in. Want to take me out to lunch tomorrow for my birthday? Our birthdays seem like they should be huge celebrations of success. We lived to see another year as working Rhovniks. I don't leave until tomorrow evening. I should be back Sunday and then Nando is going to be in town for a couple days and I have a couple exams. I should be all freed up by that weekend, though.

Secure message to Kat: Yes. I mean ditching Rhett. And this time you'll have me. How much trouble can we possibly get into? I'll work on some stuff. We'll talk after Nando leaves. You know he can smell my schemes a mile away. This will be fun. I promise.

Text to Andy Yes, I'll take you out for your birthday. You're probably right, but I was not in the mood to even think about mine last month. Hopefully your little plan will get my head set straight again.

Secure Message to R. Daniels I will not be needing a security detail to have lunch with my cousin tomorrow.

Text to Kat: Hold firm, Kat! Don't let him disrespect your skills anymore! You're a Rhovnik! We come from the bloodlines of the bravest, most bad *** knights that ever roamed the earth! I'll pick you up at 1! How embarrassed would you be if I go to lunch with you in my birthday suit as a celebration of my birthday? Okay, okay. I'm in such a good mood that maybe I'll let you dress me out of your closet.


Text to Patrick: Thank you! You are still planning on calling, right? A birthday text isn't enough. As to what I am up to today, well, I am the Lebron James of getting inside people's heads. And Kat is always my favorite target. I have convinced her that her head of security/boyfriend doesn't respect her as a bad ***. Let's be honest. Neither do I. BUT! This will all play out nicely for me. I do have an end goal. And don't bother asking! I'm not telling. You will see in the next couple weeks though. Love you! Call me!

Text to Andy To be fair, I didn't ever think he did that, but if you say so. But after what you said last night, I guess this might be kind of important. I don't want to seem soft. And yes, come get dressed here. I'll put you in something you can wear back to Ford's and blow his boots off.

Text to Andy Do you have time for some birthday pampering after lunch? My treat?

Text to Andy Help! He wants a check-in time!!! I'm gonna crack. What do I do?

Text to Kat: How are you even related to me? We need to find you some attitude. Stat.

Text to Kat: (1) Ford is a friend. If he wants me in whatever role I'm playing at that particular moment in time then he wants me and if I'm feeling it then I will come over. I'm not dressing up to knock his socks off.

Text to Kat: (2) Birthday pampering sounds good. Do you know a good spa around here? I would really love a massage. I can't tell you the last time I had one. You are going to have to dress me up because I don't keep much at all in this town that I could wear to a good spa.

Text to Kat: (3) Tell Rhett Daniels exactly where to stick it. I wouldn't let my father tell me when to check in. You are a woman with a handgun in your purse and nearly two decades of martial arts training under your belt. You do not need a curfew.

Katharine Rhovnik

Date: 2013-12-05 16:24 EST
Text to Andy I have attitude! I just prefer not to piss off my head of security and boyfriend. He cares. It's sweet. And fine fine fine, don't blow off your friend's with benefits boots. What do I care?

Text to Andy Of course I know a good spa. Massages it is! You're also getting a manicure because those claws made me cringe when I saw them. I don't even want to think about your toes. -shudder-

Text to Andy Trouble does have a way of finding me. I can't exactly blame him for worrying.

Text to Rhett I'll check in when I check in. I'm fine. We're going to the spa too now. We're in need of massages. I've been trained by the best (that's you) no need to worry.

Secure message to Kat: Got a message from Jarin. Something about escaping from prison. He's on his way into town to see me. I've got my team trying to pull up some info before he gets here. I don't think he'd sell me out but I'd love to know more before I walk into this meeting. Does anything ring a bell? Nando's here but he doesn't know anything. Jarin always ran more in our circles than in his.


Secure message to Nando: Please remember tonight that Tanzie is a friend of mine so I do not want to hear that she's vapid/boring/not up to your lofty intellectual standards. Not all of us find macromolecular assemblies good dinner conversation. Bring flowers.

Text to JM: Raul says you're still sleeping but I wanted you to have this when you woke up. You're safe. We're going to figure everything out. I'll be over later. Call/text if you need anything.


Secure message to Kat: Okay, so I lied. Ford and I aren't just friends. Not by a long shot. And, yes, we are both on the same page with that. So here's the part of this where I did something stupid: Jarin showed up and is in trouble. Big trouble. I've blown the cover I've been living under here by having Jim and Raul take him back to my place in Kesey. It's not going to be safe there for me anymore. Half of my team is annoyed by my recklessness, particularly Jim, and while I can deal with that by putting on my boss face, that face doesn't work on Ford. He's pissed that I'm not being safe and he's a little pissed that I'm doing it for a guy that I used to have feelings for. Things were the same way they always are with Jarin. But the timing is never right with us. I'm happy now. Ford's leaving today on a work trip and my plan was to spend the next several days here at his house studying. But now I've got to find a new safehouse. Let me stay with you? Between my travel and Ford's place, I will rarely ever be there but I'm not ready to not have a place in town. I promise to only be a minimal pain in your neck. So what do you say?


Secure message to Nando: Okay, so I know you're going to find out about the blown cover. I know it was stupid. I'm working on fixing it. I had a rough night and now Ford's gone. Bring me pastries and tell me how meeting Tanzie was.


Text to Ford: I miss you already. Please be safe. I'll be here waiting.

Secure Message to Andy You lied?! Nooo. I would have never guessed. :roll: Okay okay, I'm done ribbing you. Here is where my advice as someone who has been in a few long term relationships with men who are not my father's age come in handy. Do not screw this up, Andy! And not because he's Rhett's brother. It's because you do this, you sabotage yourself. Ford is good for you, I can see it. You and Jarin have a nice time together and you both are terrible flirts who are incredibly charming, but we both know if something was going to happen, it would have by now. Are you getting cold feet now that you realize you have real feelings for Ford? We'll talk about it in person if you want or not at all if you don't want. You are not being reckless either, you're helping a friend who is a whole lot of trouble. What were you supposed to do? You know? You are always welcome at my place, even if as Jarin calls you, you are a pain in the ass. I hope he's okay, sorry I didn't respond the other day, I was busy researching an artifact. Let me know how else I can help.

Doctor says my ribs are pretty bruised, amongst some other problems. You don't know any hot nurses who would like to help me shower, do you?

Andy Rhovnik

Secure message to Kat: I'm not going to do anything but keep an old friend safe. Nobody has any cold feet. Ford is my best friend. I wouldn't even think of ruining that. Nando's over here at Ford's with me. I popped popcorn and I'm making him watch romcom Christmas movies. He's acting like he's in pain. It's amusing. Why don't you come over and throw popcorn at him with me? And, yes, to moving in. After my finals are over I'll probably move some of my stuff into your spare room. I probably won't be there much but I need that place in town.


Text to JM: I know I am. Take it easy. I'll be by again tomorrow. As for hot nurses, does Raul not light your fire? I'm sure his feelings are hurt. This is RhyDin, Wally. You rest up and as soon as you're feeling better we'll go out and I'll play wing woman for you. We'll get your pretty face a nurse/vampiric princess/stripper in no time at all.

Secure message to Rhett: DID YOU HEAR THE GOOD NEWS??? I'm moving in with Kat!!! Now I can get in the way of -- I mean, help your security team. I know you'll have to do background checks on anyone I have coming over. Mostly it'll just be my division and all of them have thorough Rhovnik background checks. The only one you may need to check on is Show Time. At least that's what I call him in bed. I'll spell out his name for you -- Ford William Graham Daniels. Sometimes it shows up at Ford W. G. Daniels. I can assure you that he will pass the most stringent of BACKground checks because I have thoroughly examined his BACKside. It is up to my very lofty standards. I think I have some pictures on my phone if you'd like me to forward them to you!!!!

Secure message to Rhett: Oh, come on. You know you adore me.


Secure message to Jarin: I gave you a day to rest but I really need you to start documenting everything today. Every detail you can think about your time there. I don't care how small they are. We're going to give you time to recover. We're not going to do anything until after the New Year but keep you off their radar but we can't lose any piece of information. Start writing.

Want to have breakfast with us before he goes? He took me out to high tea yesterday to celebrate the last of my exams for the semester. He made me dress up and he did too. And, as usual, I had to listen to everyone talk about what a fine looking man Nando is. Evidently a top hat makes women find him even more irresistible. Come out with us! We have pictures from yesterday!


Secure message to Jarin: I'm going to start reading this stuff today. Don't worry too much about the gaps. Just get down on paper what you can remember for now. My guys and I do this all the time. We are really good at debriefing. After you get it all down we'll go through and compare it to known intel and we'll start asking you more probing questions to see if we can get any more details.

I know Ford's not going to be back until this evening but he said that he wanted Charlotte overnight and I'm not feeling great so I was hoping you could come pick her up after her nap. Brewer's off-world and I just need some uninterrupted sleep. It'll be fine. Don't worry.

I'm asking Andy to pick up Charlotte early. I feel really run down and Brewer's not around. Don't worry. I'll be fine. Just keep Charlotte until after her afternoon nap tomorrow? I'll pick her up from ALWE.

Hey, pretty lady. I'm lying in bed with Charlotte napping beside me and I just cannot move. I am so exhausted. It feels like all the energy has been sapped right out of my bones the last week. I'm so behind with my Christmas shopping. Ford has Charlotte tomorrow so I've got to get some rest and get some done tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?

Game Alerts on 'Seaside Sharks' --
After a hick up of a loss last week against the Wellite City Wolves, the Seaside Sharks were on the road against RhyDin City divisional rivals, the New Haven Lions. The Lions spoke much in the press over the last week about giving the Sharks their second loss in a row but the Seaside Sharks jumped out to an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter and never let up, leaving them with a final of 30-13 to extend their record to 12-2 for the season. Next week finds the Sharks at home against the Clifton Coyotes.

Or, I know, how about you stop complaining about not knowing what's up with Dylan and go check on her? Just give me an hour or so and then show up with warm comfort food. Your choice.

Text to Ford: I almost apologized for not letting you come back to your house but then I remembered -- my house now too!!! Love you. I'll see you in an hour.

AMERICAN HEIRESS MISSING
Associated Press

Authorities in Canada are looking for a missing American heiress and her fianc?, who disappeared from the Edmonton, Alberta hotel where two murders were reported.

Ema Kovac, 22, of Mentor, Ohio, was visiting Edmonton with her fianc?, Ford Daniels, 25, of Thomaston, Georgia, when the couple disappeared on Saturday night. The pair were captured on hotel security cameras inside the hotel, then apparently vanished into thin air. No footage has been found of the couple leaving the hotel, and their possessions were left on the premises.

The disappearance follows the shooting death of a British citizen, Jemima Stevens, 56, of Old Strathcona, outside of the boutique hotel where they were staying. A second body was discovered inside the hotel later that evening. Authorities have not yet released information about that death, pending notification of relatives. They will not confirm whether they think the incidents are related.

Kovac and Daniels are not considered suspects and there are concerns for their safety. Anyone with knowledge about the murders or the disappearance of Kovac and Daniels should contact local authorities immediately.

Text to Daniels, Colt and Daniels, Rhett: Not sure if you two have seen the news out of Canada. It's a small story at the moment. Made a couple major papers in America -- mostly the northeast. None of the GA papers have picked up the story yet. We don't know where AR & FD are right now. I wouldn't suspect the worst. We think they just went off the grid. Give us some time to work it. I'll let you know more as soon as I do.
