Chapter 5 - Lady B
There were 3 more calls that night that were hang-ups and Madison was starting to get upset cause she happened to pick them up. To the last one she said "If you ever call here again, I'll inform the police and have them trace the call because I have caller I.D." She hung up and was still upset as she went to take a shower and go to bed. Unbeknownst the them the person doing the calling was parked across the street from the house.
The following morning after breakfast Madison helped Sierra into her SUV and they headed out to the tattoo shop. They were the first ones there and after entering Sierra went to her office and checked her voicemail. There was a call there that all the person did was breath. She put it down to a prank call and looked up as one of her employees walked in. "Sierra is great to see you. How are you feeling?" Jim asked as he hung up his coat and came over to hug her. "I'll live. But I sure miss my bike" Sierra replied. "I saw two guys take it and put it into the back of a pickup as I ran out of the shop on the day of your accident. One of them was blond and the other had braids in his hair. It was a black pickup" Jim replied. "I know they came to see me at the hospital" Sierra repled.
As Sierra was inside talking to Jim, Madison stepped outside to the sidewalk and lit a cigarette. She was leaning against her SUV as two huge men pulled up in front of Sierra's shop. One of them was riding Sierra's bike the other was on a Harley. They stopped
and got off. After looking around one of them turned to Madison and asked "Would you happen to know if the owner of this shop is a girl who rides a bike that looks like this one?" Mark said as he pointed to the bike that Glenn had riden up on. "Yes, she is. As a
matter of fact that looks exactly like her bike" Madison replied as she stubbed out her cigarette. "Let me go get her" Madison said as she turned around and entered the shop.
Madison was standing under the awning to the shop talking to Jim and saw when Sierra turned to her. She walked over to the group and said "Is everything okay, Sierra?" "Everything is fine". Turning back to the guys she said "Would 8:00 p.m. be okay?" "That would be fine" Glenn replied with a smile as he handed Sierra the keys to her bike and threw his leg over the bike and sat down on the back seat. Sierra gave Glenn their address as he got on the back of the bike that Mark had driven. "We'll see you then" Glenn said before they sped away.
"What was that all about?" Madison asked. "We are going out to dinner with them tonight" Sierra said as she put the keys to her bike into her pocket and turned to reenter the shop. "No you didn't" Madison said as she followed her sister into the shop. "How
could you do this to me? You know I haven't gone out with, or been interested in anyone ever since me and Robert broke up" Madison added. "That's why it's about time you went out. And don't worry I'll be there with my trusty crutches in case any of them get out of line" Sierra replied with a wicked grin on her face.
Chapter. 6
After Sierra had locked up the bike, and was satisfied with the way the guys were handling the shop, she and Madison went home. The entire way, Madison tried to give her reasons why she shouldn't go.
"Look, I know you want to pay them back, but exclude me."
Mark darted his eyes from the road to the rear view mirror, thinking someone was following them. He could barely see what looked to be a blue SUV three cars behind them. He first noticed it when they left Madison and Sierra's house. Then, he breezed through a yellow light, but the SUV was stuck behind a car after the light had turned red.
They soon reached the restaurant. Once inside, they sat at a booth in the corner. They ordered their drinks and looked at the menus. After ordering their food, they continued to talk.
"Have they caught the guy that hit you," Mark asked Sierra. Chapter 7 - Lady B
He had lost them as he waited for the light so he rode around until he was able to spot the black Silverado sitting in the parking lot outside the restaurant. He pulled up across the street and turned off the engine. "If she thinks she is going to get away from me so easy, then she's got another thought coming" he said to himself sourly. "Who the hell does she think she is going out with that guy. Doesn't she know that she belongs to me and always will. If I can't have her, then no one will" he continued delusionally. "For the longest time I have watched her and she must know that I love her and she will never be able to get away from me. Even at our wedding she flirted with other men" he said as he punched the steering wheel and looked around nervously. "I know if I had not spent that time away we would still be happy. She doesn't know it yet but what I have dreamed of will soon become a reality" he said as he stared at a picture of a young woman who looked identical to Sierra. Little did he know that the authorities had already been informed of his escape from a mental hospital prison where he had been sent to after his trial for having killed his wife and the police were already looking for him.
Meanwhile inside the restaurant the four people continued to speak as they ate their dinner. Once they were done and their after dinner drinks were delivered Mark sat back and stretched his arms over his head. As he brought them down he nonchalantly let his arm come to a rest over Madison's shoulders as he said "I haven't enjoyed a night out like this in a long time". "How come?" Sierra asked as Madison looked at Mark's hand which was on her shoulder and then at him. "Maybe because we're always on the road and don't have much time to relax" Glenn said as he turned to Sierra and looked into her eyes.
Mark sat back with a smug look on his face as he let his fingers caress Madison's shoulder ever so gently in small circles. Madison did not know how to react. She was enjoying his touch, but did not want him to think that she was an easy date.
After another drink Glenn asked "How are you feeling Sierra? Are you tired or would you like to go for a drive?" "I'm not tired at all" she replied with a big smile. "Madison, how about you?" Mark asked. "That sounds good" she said. "Okay then, how about we just go for a ride and see where we wind up" Glenn said as he got out from the booth and helping Sierra out as he handed her the crutches. "You sure you wouldn't want me to carry you to the car?" Glenn said with a mischievious smile on his face. Sierra thought about that for a minute, thinking of what it would be like to have his arms around her as he carried her. She blushed slightly and said "Nah, I think I can manage" as she lowered her head so that he couldn't see the blush start to creep up into her cheeks at the thoughts that were going through her mind at that moment.
Mark grabbed Madison's hand and led her out the door as Glenn walked very slowly near Sierra to make sure she didn't trip of bump into anything on her way out of the restaurant. Once outside they piled back into the truck and Glenn pulled Sierra over to him and leaned her head against his chest. "That way you are more comfortable and can stretch your leg on the seat" he whispered by way of explanation. Sierra could hear his heart beating as she rested her head on his chest and looked out the window. Glenn leaned his head on top of hers and had a silly grin on his face as he inhaled a mixture of her shampoo and perfume.
Madison was sitting with her hands in her lap as they rode along the street. When they stopped for a light. Mark looked over at her and gave her a little smile as he reached over and grabbed her hand in his massive one. Once the light changed he refused to let her hand go, so he drove with one hand as he held onto her hand with the other.
He had seen the foursome exit the restaurant and get into the truck. "That little bitch. There she goes again. It's not enough that I practically smashed her with my car. What else do I have to do to make her realize that she belongs to me. I'm going to have to kill her" he grumbled as he started the car and followed the Silverado two cars behind them.
Chapter 8- Jade
As Mark drove down one of the roads, the street lights became fewer and fewer. They turned down a dirt road, which turned out to be a driveway. Mark parked the truck, and they all got out.
"Where are we," Madison asked.
Glen wrapped his massive arms around her, and pulled her closer to him. "Is that a little better."
She looked into his eyes, and said," yes." She laid her head on his shoulder. She scooted closer to him, to get comfortable. She looked him in the eyes again, and they were locked for what seemed like an eternity. Glen slowly leaned down, and kissed her lips. That little kiss sent electric shocks through them.
He kissed her again, this one lasting longer. Headlights shining bright on them, ended the kiss.
"What the hell...," Glen asked.
Glen picked her up, and moved her out of harms way. The SUV hit the picnic table and sent it flying. The SUV turned around, and tried to hit them again, before driving out of the parking lot.
Madison knew something was wrong, before she saw the SUV. Once she did see it, she could do nothing but stand there and watch as everything happened. After the SUV left, Mark and Madison rushed over to Glen and Sierra.
"Are you alright," Mark asked.

"So, you would let your helpless sister go out on a date with two very big men alone?"
"Like I would be much help if they tried anything funny," Madison replied sarcastically. "I don't want to go!"
"Oh, come on. I really want to go," Sierra begged.
Madison thought for a moment. "You have the hots for one of them, don't you?"
She gave her an innocent look. "Maybe."
"I'm not ready for this," she said, more to herself.
"You're making too big of a deal out of this. You're acting like this will become a long term thing for you two. It's one date, then you won't have to see each other again, if you don't want to."
Madison gave a heavy sigh. "Alright."
Sierra sat up excitedly and said," thank you!"
"So, which one am I stuck with?"
"Mark."
"I thought he would be the one you're interested in. Motorcycle and all those tatoos..."
"More space for me to work on," she laughed. "He didn't tell me his name, though."
Later that evening, Madison and Sierra were getting ready for their date. As Madison was doing the final touches to her make up, the doorbell rang. Madison stepped out of the bathroom to get it, but Sierra hobbled past her on her crutches, and said," I'll get it!"
"Calm down. Your hormones are getting the best of you," Madison laughed.
She opened the door and stood there staring at his muscles through the tight black shirt he wore. "Please come in. Madison should be ready in a minute."
"I'm ready," Madison said. She looked up at Mark and thought to herself,'damn he's fine!' She mentally shook herself, and followed them out the door.
They all piled into the black crewcab Silverado, Madison in front with Mark,and Sierra and Glen sat in back. They were gone soon after.
"How's your leg," Glen asked.
"It's doing better. I don't thnk I'll need the painkillers anymore," Sierra giggled.
"That's good."
"You didn't tell me your name this morning."
"My name is Glen Jacobs."
"Well, Glen, thank you for asking us out tonight. You saved me from another night of being told to stay in bed," Sierra laughed.
"Your sister has nothing to worry about tonight. I'll make sure you stay off of your feet."
"That's no fair. I get to go out with a handsome man, but I can't dance with him."
Glen blushed slightly. "Be glad you can't. I'd probably break your foot if I stepped on it," he laughed.
In front, Mark and Madison had their own conversation going.
"Thank you for fixing my sister's bike. That's one thing off her mind while she's recooperating."
"No problem. It's kind of a hobby of mine to restore motorcycles."
"Do you get to do it often?"
"No, I'm usually on the road too much."
"Really? What do you do?"
"Glen and I are wrestlers."
"Like high school wrestling?"
"More like high school wrestling meets bar brawls and Hollywood," Mark laughed.
"I don't understand," Madison said, with a confused look on her face.
"You'll have to watch the show sometime to understand."
"Not yet. They're still trying to run the partial license number Billy gave them."
"You're lucky you didn't get hurt worse."
"I know. It's a good thing he tried to stop. If he hadn't, I'd be dead."
Glen set his arm on the back of the seat behind Sierra. She looked at him and smiled. His return smile made her melt.
"This is where I go when I want to fish," Mark answered. He took her hand. "Let's walk out onto the pier." The walk across the 30 foot pier was quiet. They stood at the end, looking over the lake, illuminated by a small light overhead. "Look," Mark said, pointing into the water below. They watched as two catfish swam side by side.
Madison leaned over the guard rail, to get a better look. Mark stood behind her and leaned over, an arm on either side of her. She enjoyed the warmth his closeness brought for a moment. Then, she ducked under his arm to get away.
"I'm sorry if I scared you," Mark said, though he knew that wasn't what was wrong.
"It's alright," she replied, not wanting to get into the reason why she didn't want to be close. "Maybe you should just take us home."
"I'm not taking you home until you smile. A real smile."
"Mark, this is ridiculous. I've been smiling all night."
"Not a real smile." He picked her up and held her over the water. "Either smile, or I'll throw you in."
Madison wrapped her arms around his neck, and said," alright, you win!"
He stepped back, and let her slide down his body. He gently kissed her. She looked into the depths of his green eyes, and smiled.
"See, that wasn't so hard."
Glen and Sierra sat at a near by picnic table. Sierra watched as Mark and Madison stood at the end of the pier. Glen watched as the wind whipped her hair around her face. He pushed a few strands behind her ear. Sierra turned to look at him, with an almost drunk looking smile on her lips.
"The drink didn't get to you, did it?"
"No. I'm just enjoying the night. It's beautiful here."
"Yes, it is."
A shiver ran up Sierra's spine.
"Are you getting cold?"
"A little."
"I don't know. Maybe it's just someone else coming out to look at the lake."
"Could be." They went back to enjoying each other's company, until they heard the motor revving on the SUV. They turned to look just before the driver took it out of park, and sped their way.
"Yeah, we're ok."
"Who the hell was that?"
"I don't know, but I got the license number," Sierra said.
She borrowed Mark's cell phone and called the police. She talked to the detective that's handling the hit and run. She gave him the license number.
"That matches what your friend told us from the hit and run. Make sure no one follows you, and go home. By the time you get there, we should have someone there to protect you."
