Michael's men kept on driving to find Tiffany, Michael had hired quite a few people to look for her, having them going north, east and south stopping at multiple places, they knew she would need gas lodging and food, so they stopped at every place they could showing a picture of her.

While stopping at a gas station to fuel up, one of the men decided to go inside and talk with the store clerk "Excuse me, I don't mean to cut in front of you, but I'm looking for this girl, have you seen her?" Mr. Jones asks the clerk showing him a picture of Tiffany, sliding it on the counter towards him. He shook his head no as he looked at the picture. "Sorry I have never seen her before."

The man he cut in front of happen to see the picture "I recognize her." The older man says.

Mr. Jones takes the picture off the counter and shoves it in the pocket inside of his jacket, after the older man pays for his items he followed the man outside. "I saw her about a month ago sleeping in her car, I had banged on the window asking if she needed any help, she declined that she needed any help, she was acting kind of nervous as well, but she also thanked me for waking her up, that she had slept longer than she wanted to."

"What was she driving?"

"I'm sorry who are you? Is she missing or something?" The older gentleman asked concerned.

Mr. Jones flashed him a badge quick "I'm a detective out of L.A, she has been missing for about a month now. She didn't happen to say where she was going did she?"

"No, the only thing that I noticed was that she looked scared. She was driving an older car that was pretty rusted out. It was a Honda or a Toyota I think."

"Did you happen to see where she was heading?" He asks pulling a zippo out of his pocket and lighting a cigarette.

"She took out of here in a hurry going east." He says waving the smoke away from his face. "Hope that helps, but I have to get back on the road." He says reaching his hand out to shake.

Mr. Jones walks back to the car and gets in the passenger seat, he looks over at the driver "Well she was heading east according to that man over there." He says pointing to the older man getting in his semi.

"Shit man, we're never going to find her, it's been a month already, she could be anywhere." He sighs as he starts the car. Mr. Jones starts to laugh "We will find her, Michael claims she's not very smart, she didn't even bring her phone so she has no map to look at, which he claims that she will just stay on the major roadway to prevent from getting lost."

"Well she can't get lost if she's running like that, maybe she's smarter than he thinks she is." The driver snapped.

Mr. Jones pulls a gun out pointing it to the driver's head "Quit complaining and drive before I put a bullet in that head of yours, we will find the bitch, I want that fucking reward money."

*****************************

Caleb lays in the bed trying to process everything that Tiffany had told him. Part of him wants to get up and leave and the other part of him tells him to stay. The more it runs through his head, he thinks back to when she had first arrived and remembers what she was wearing, that hot temper of hers and demanding that he fix her car so that she can get back on the road.

Tiffany still in tears lays in bed facing opposite Caleb worried that she had just wrecked any chances that she had with Caleb. "I'm so sorry." She whispered. "This is why I never wanted to say anything I just wanted to go on with my life and forget about him."

As much as Caleb hated hearing that she was married, he believed her. He now had to figure out how to protect her if in fact her husband was out looking for her. He leaned over and pulled her in his arms, wiping the tears away from her cheeks and taking her chin lifting her face up to look at her. He placed a soft kiss on her lips "We can get through this and I will help you out, I will do what I can to protect you. When I get your car fixed you do what you want to do, either you leave or you stay. I just want you to know that I would like you to stay."

Hearing him say that made her feel somewhat better, but she's still worried about Michael and what will happen to them if he found them "I will stay if that is what you want, but if you want me gone I will understand."

"I could have sworn that I just got done telling you that I wanted you to stay. I may not like the fact that you are married but I understand the situation and will do everything possible to protect you. If there is anything more that I need to know, please do not keep it from me. That's all I ask."

"I'm not sure what else you want to know, but I believe that I told you everything."

"So what does he do for a living that you claim that he is dangerous?"

"Well he doesn't know that I know, but he was having a meeting in his office with a few people, I had come home from being out and about and didn't know that he had anybody over, I was just about to walk in to his office to talk to him when I overheard them talking about some recent drug deals and how they had just killed a guy for some missing money from the drugs that they were trying to collect from. The whole time I was married to him he lied about where all the money was coming in from. Not only was he an investment banker he was.. well is a drug lord."

"Oh boy...." He says running his hands on his head rubbing it hard. "We need to get you out of here, what would you say about possibly staying with me?"

"Well that depends on if you want me to."

"Come on, who knows how long they have been looking for you and if they even are.. grab your things and will go to my place, maybe finally get some rest, I didn't plan on spending my day off with you this way, but I'd rather you be safe."

Caleb hurries out of bed and gets dressed "I'll be right back, I'm going to go talk to Bertha."

Caleb walks over to the office and dings the bell. "Well hello Caleb, what brings you here this fine morning."

"Well I need your help as well as the other workers here." Bertha looks at him confused, she sees a worried look on Caleb's face and hopes that it isnt about Tiffany.

"What's going on? Are you and Tiffany feuding again? Because if you are I already told myself that I was going to lock you two in a room until you two sorted out everything." She grins and starts to laugh a little.

"No, no, no, we're fine, but Tiffany is in a little bit of trouble. I finally got her to talk about what she's running from and it isn't good. If anyone, and I mean anyone comes in here looking for her, promise me you'll let them know that you haven't seen her... Can you do that for me?"

"Well of course I can, but only for you will I do that." She says patting his hand. "What kind of trouble is she in?"

"Let's just say she served her husband papers, and took off afterwards. I guess he's pretty dangerous, so be careful."

"Well... Felix keeps his rifle hidden under the counter, I know how to use it, and I'm not afraid to use it if I have to." She winks. She reaches under the counter and pulls the rifle out to show him. "See.. it's even loaded."

"Put that away before someone walks in here." He says with his eyes widened. She puts it back under the counter and laughs "Nobody will mess with the bad ass Bertha, Ah huh, no way."

Caleb chuckled a bit and shook his head, he leaned over and kissed her cheek "Thanks Bertha I owe you one, or two or three." He laughs. "How much does she owe here, I'm bringing her to my place to stay." He says pulling out his wallet.

"Put your wallet away, she's already paid for another month, so I'll have to get her a check."

Caleb shakes his head surprised, he didn't think she had any money with her. "She what? How did she pay?"

"All cash." She smiled as she walked to the back room to grab the checkbook. Walking back to the front with a checkbook in hand "Who should I write the check out to?"

"Better write it out to me, I'll have to go cash it for her... I cannot chance her being found." He sighed. Bertha hands him the check and Caleb looks at it, shaking his head "Where on earth did she get this kind of money? You know what never mind."

"If anyone should come in here looking for her please let me know." He says as he starts to walk out the door.

"Don't worry I will let you know right away."

Caleb walks to get his truck from the station and heads back to the motel to pick up Tiffany, they then head over to his place. "I'll get that car running for you so you have something to drive." He says quietly.

"You really don't have to."

"Yes I do, you'll need something to get around in since you'll be outside of town now."

"Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?" He asks being short with her.

"Well there's a few things actually, one you've been quiet since we left, two you're now being short with me and three that car you have had stored, was that your wife's car? The other day when you left me keys I had figured it was hers since you said it hasn't been driven in three years."

Caleb didn't answer her back and started to pinch the bridge of his nose, he pulled up to his house and shut the truck off, rubbing his face hard in frustration. "Let's go bring in your things."

Tiffany squints her eyes as she watches how Caleb grabs her things and brings them in his house. She's wondering what his deal is now, shrugging her shoulders she follows him in.

He brings her things into his room and she smiled looks like he wants me to stay in his room she thought to herself.

She sat down on the couch and pouted a little wondering what could be bothering him now, especially after he talked to Bertha. She closed her eyes and laid her head back against the couch.

She opened her eyes when she felt something was in front of her face. In front of her was Caleb holding a check. "Caleb what's this?" She says grabbing the check out of his hands.

"It's yours."

"It's not mine, it's yours. Your name is on it." She says confused.

"That's because I had Bertha put it in my name so there was no paper trail with your name. Where on earth did you get that kind of money? And how did you plan on paying me for your car anyways? Have you been using any credit cards at all?"

"Damn Caleb.. what's with all the fucking questions?" She snapped.

"I told you, if you want my help I need to know everything. Have you used any credit cards?"

"I may be blonde but I'm not fucking dumb, so the answer to that question is a fucking no." She snapped crossing her arms hard, looking away from him.

"I wasn't implying that you're fucking stupid, Jesus Tiff. I'm trying to help you." He walks away pulling on his hair wondering if this was a mistake.

"As for the money I have cash. I have plenty of cash." She sighed.

"Is it yours or his?"

"Well.... I stopped at a pawn shop in L.A. before signing the papers with the attorney and pawned my wedding ring. I also grabbed some money from the safe before I left."

"Great... not smart Tiffany." He says pissed. "How much did you take?"

"Enough to get by for a little bit."

"How much?" He demands.

She takes a deep breath "$25,000." She says quietly with her head in her hands.

Caleb threw his hands up in the air, he couldn't believe she took that much money from him and knew she was in deep shit now, he figured that he had heard enough and was too tired to fight, he just walked away going outside and over to the garage. He started to look over the car making sure Tiffany had something to drive, now more than ever incase they showed up looking for her she would be able to get away.

He grabbed the new battery out of his truck and put that in for her and started the car, knowing the gas is old he decided to siphon all the gas out and ran back into town to get fresh gas. He passed on the word about keeping quiet about Tiffany. Since he was well known in town and was well liked he figured they would do that for him.

After checking the car out and making multiple trips into town, he had the car ready for her to drive, even driving it to town and filling the tank up for her. He was still upset with her, but to break the ice he stopped and bought her a bouquet of flowers.

Tiffany was sleeping on the couch when Caleb finally came home, after the night they had and no sleep he was pretty tired himself. He grabbed a vase filling it with water and placed the flowers in it for her setting them on the table with a card leaning against it.

He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom placing her on the bed. He stripped naked and climbed into bed pulling her close against him and fell asleep.

Tiffany woke up hours later and noticed she was in a different room than where she fell asleep, she was confused until she looked over and saw Caleb sleeping next to her.

Feeling thirsty she got up to grab some water and saw the flowers on the table and smiled. She noticed the card with her name on it leaning against the flowers and opened it.

The front of the card had a big heart with the saying I'll do whatever it takes to keep you in my arms on the inside with the saying written by him I want to take you in my arms and hold you close, I want you to feel my breath on your body, I want you to hold my hand and look into my eyes, I want you to know that no matter what is going on in your life, I want you in mine and just know that I love you either way. I also want you to know that I haven't been the same since you came into my life, you may be the best thing that has happened to me in a long time and I will do what I can to protect you, I may not be allowed to love you but I do, I may not be allowed to care for you but I do, I'm sorry that I cannot help myself because I think, wait I don't think I know that I am in love with you.
Love- Caleb

Tiffany gave off a big smile and set the card up on the table. Taking a drink of her water she stood there staring at the flowers and the card, she was in awe and thought that was the most sweetest thing that someone had ever said to her.

She went back into the bedroom and climbed into the bed snuggling up to Caleb, feeling frisky after what he just did, wanting to show her feelings for Caleb and show that she cares the same way she took her clothes off and started playing with his cock, getting it to grow hard.

He let out a couple soft groans as she placed kisses along his neck and her hand on his cock stroking and massaging his balls he grew hard instantly, she starting kissing his body moving down to his hardened shaft.

Placing his cock in her mouth and going as deep as she could, his body stiffened and gasped loudly, waking up shocked as he lifted his head up to look at her quick and slammed his head back on his pillow blowing air out of his mouth, he wasn't expecting to wake up this way but wasn't going to complain.

She moaned as her mouth and tongue was caressing his cock, the vibrations of her moan sent goosebumps up his spine, moaning out her name. She went down a little to far and gagged a little, causing him to groan loud, not wanting to release just yet, he wanted those lips on his and pulled her up.

"What do you think you're doing." He said in a low tone grinning. Cupping the back of her head he pulled her to his lips, kissing her full of passion. Rolling her over giving her a long heated kiss.

She grinned as she pulled away to breathe "I was thanking you for the flowers and the nice card you left for me."

"You can thank me like that anytime you want, but for the record that came from the bottom of my heart, and I meant every word of it." He says softly kissing her neck, blowing air all over her neck and into her ear.

His hand moved down to her pussy and noticed she was extremely wet, blowing in her ear he thrusted a couple fingers inside her and rubbed her clit wanting to see her squirm. His mouth went to her harden nipples, flicking his tongue and sucking on the nipples.

"Ohhh Caleb." She says panting.

"I love you."
