Tim and Jenika went home after leaving the grocery store to put up the groceries before going after Adam.

Jenika was putting away the can goods in the cabinet when Tim came up behind her and snakes his arms around her waist.

She smiles as Tim begins to leave soft kisses on her neck.

"What are you doing?" She giggles as his whiskers tickle her neck.

"I was just thinking about last night." He whispers near her ear.

"Mmmm." She hums in agreement as she reaches up, laying her hand on his cheek.

His hands slowly move under the front of her shirt.

"Buuuut." She says as she turns around in his arms to face him and tugs lightly on his hair. "We have to go after Adam."

Tim sighs and drops his head. "Cockblock."

Jenika laughs and hits him playfully in the chest.

"Now you know that those two can be quite a handful together." Jenika says as she finishes putting things away. "We don't want Adam to get on anyone's nerves."

"Not our Adam." Tim chuckles.

"Yes, our Adam." She smiles as she places a light kiss on his lips.

They get Satchmo and go to their car and head over to Kirstie's.

~~

"Hey, guys." Kirstie smiles when she opens the door, reaching down and petting the large furry dog. "The boys are out in the backyard playing with Mack."

"Has Adam been a problem?" Tim asks as he limps over to the couch to sit down.

"Adam is never a problem. He's such a sweetheart." Kirstie smiles. "You want to go outside and play, Big Guy." She adds as stoops down in front of Satchmo.

The large dog follows her to the back door. She opens the door and he runs out to join the playing boys.

"SATCHMO!!" Adam laughs. The large dog jumps on him playfully, knocking him to the ground. Patches laughs and claps as Satchmo licks Adam's face.

Kirstie giggles and heads back to the living room.

"Uh, I need to talk to you guys about something real quick before the boys come back in." Kirstie starts as she sits down in a chair. 

"Sure, what's up?" Jenika smiles.

"Maybe you guys might want to start locking your bedroom door if you plan on doing something." Kirstie says as she bites her bottom lip.

Jenika looks at Kirstie with a puzzled look. "What?"

Tim's eye widen as he slowly looks around at his girlfriend. Kirstie could tell by the look on his face that he knew what she was talking about.

Tim hangs his head as his faces blushes. "What did he say?"

"Who? What are ya'll talking about?" Jenika asks, still not caught on to the conversation.

"Jenika. Last night." Tim says as he raises his eyebrows at her, hoping she would put two and two together.

Her thoughts go back to the night before, their lovemaking.

"Oh no." She whispers as her eyes widen. "He saw?" Turning her head quickly to Kirstie.

"Yep." Kirstie answers with a nod.

"Oh my God." Jenika says as she looks around at her boyfriend.

"Uh, what......what did he say?" Tim asks as he brushes his hair back from his reddened cheeks.

"He thought you were wrestling." Kirstie giggles.

Tim breathes a sigh of relief.

"And that you were winning because you were on top and had Jenika pinned down." Kirstie says and couldn't help but laugh at her two friends.

"God, that's embarrassing." Tim says as he shakes his head.

"And Jenika was kissing you because you won." Kirstie smiles. "He said he didn't watch long. He was afraid he'd get in trouble for not knocking, but he forgot to knock."

"We don't lock our door in case he needs us at night." Tim says as he scratches his bearded jaw. "And we always wait until after he goes to bed before we do anything."

"I just thought you guys should know. Please don't be mad at him." Kirstie says with a pout.

"Tim? Be mad at Adam? Seriously?" Jenika chuckles. "The zombie apocalypse will happen first." 

Suddenly a commotion outside made them all jump and look toward the back door.

Dogs barking and the boys screaming.

"What the hell?" Tim says as they all jump up.

"What's going on?" Kevin asks as he comes running down the stairs.

They run to the back door and out onto the patio.

Satchmo and Mack were running toward the fence that was separating the woods from their yard.

Adam had Patches by the hand as he pulled him toward the house. Both were crying.

"Adam? What's wrong?" Tim asks as the hysterical man runs to his open arms.

Patches runs to Kirstie and she grabs him into a hug.

"He's trembling." Kirstie says as she looks up at Kevin.

"What happened?" Tim asks as he moves Adam back so he can see his face.

"Dare...D..Dare...Dare" Adam stutters in fear. (There)

"Calm down and tell us what happened." Jenika says as she rubs him on the back of the head.

"M..m...m.man." Patches nods at Kirstie as he points toward the woods.

"A man?" Kevin asks.

"Dare was...was a man watching...watching us from da woods." Adam nods.

"You boys stay with Jenika and Kirstie." Tim says as he and Kevin start walking toward the fence.

Both Satchmo and Mack had jumped the fence in chase of the intruder.

Kevin jumps the fence. Tim has to climb through it because of his leg. They venture into the woods, their eyes scanning the thick grove of trees for any movement.

"Honey! Call the cops, please." Jenika calls out. "Please don't go out there."

Tim and Kevin were too busy listening to answer. 

"Listen." Kevin whispers as he lays a hand on Tim's arm to stop him.

They could hear their dogs barking in the distance.

"SATCHMO!!" Tim yells. "MACK!!"

The guys fall silent and listen as one dog stops barking but one continues.

"That's Satchmo's bark." Tim says quietly.

"MACK!!" Kevin yells.

"SATCHMO!! COME MERE, BUDDY!!" Tim shouts.

"M..m..Mack." Patches pouts as he leans into Kirstie.

"Is Satchmo alwight?" Adam asks as tears fill his eyes. (alright)

"I'm sure they're both fine." Jenika answers as she stares at where Tim and Kevin had entered the woods.

"KEVIN!!" Kirstie shouts. "MAYBE YOU AND TIM SHOULD COME BACK!!"

"Listen." Tim whispers as he hears rustling in the leaves.

Suddenly Mack runs out of a thicket and toward the two men.

"Mack!" Kevin smiles as he stoops down to welcome the Huskey.

Tim smiles down at the dog then looks back to the woods with a worried expression.

"Come on, Satchmo, buddy. Where are you?" Tim says softly.

Tim jumps suddenly as he hears his dog yelp in pain.

"SATCHMOOOO!!"
