knowing he didn't care for her the way she did him. Mentally she shrugged it off and thought, I am going to enjoy this while I can, soon he will be gone, and I will only be left with memories .
"I know, thank you," she said as she pulled back and began to sit up.
"As much as I enjoyed that, we need to get to work. We are going to need to make a list of people you think would come after you. Anyone, ex-employees of the restaurant, ex-boyfriends. Do you have any family left anywhere that you can think of?" Danny stated as he rose up off the bed and sat on the edge.
"No, there is no one left. The only ex-employees I have had to let go have moved on, there were only two. As for ex-boyfriends, well, you are it. I haven't had a lot of time for extracurricular activities lately," she told him and watched the surprise on his face as she made the statement.
"Okay then, I want you to keep thinking about it. In the meantime, we are going to hole up here, and I am going to make some phone calls. Do you need anything?" he asked as he got up and walked toward her bedroom doorway.
"No, I am going to go out and make something to eat. We missed breakfast," she said as she made her way to the bathroom to wash her face. She must look a sight, what, with all her crying.
"I will come help you in a few. I want to get the ball rolling on the two ex-employees and talk to Jade and Traci to see if they can think of anyone as well."
She nodded and shut the door on the bathroom. Danny continued into the living room to make his calls.
He was close. Almost time. He knew the cops would get involved at this point. He didn't count on a deputy staying with her all the time. This angered him, but he knew what to do. He was gonna sit back and let things die down again. Make her start to feel safe, that would make the deputy go, and then he was going to have a very Merry Christmas after all. Payback was the best gift.

It had been two weeks since anything had happened, and Sandi was going stir crazy. During the day, she was allowed to go down and work in the restaurant with Danny constantly watching her. The nights were getting harder. At first, it was fun. They watched movies from her DVD collection or shows they liked on TV. They laughed and joked like old friends, sometimes they even made out a little. When Danny had a shift, his brother Miles or one of the other deputies would come to watch over her. It was getting old fast.
Whoever it was that had done those things was gone, it was over. She was convinced that it was all over. She wanted her life back, and she was going to get it. She went to the one person who she knew could help her escape her prison. The one person who knew the Sherriff and his deputies well enough to get them to back off and if not, then to escape them.
Jade sat in the back office with Traci as they poured over ideas for the reception. Since they were little they had planned a double wedding together. They even had the old scrapbook out they had put together way back when, it was full of cutouts from magazines. They giggled as they looked at the dresses and decorations they had picked out at a young age for their wedding.
"What were we thinking? Fuchsia is not a color scheme!" Jade giggled as Traci pointed to the gaudy bridesmaids’ dresses as well.
"It seems we were going to go with the bright orange bridesmaids’ dresses and the neon green tablecloths!" Traci busted out laughing. She couldn't believe the bright colors they had picked out. It was obvious that the neon colors had been the fashion back then. Well, they weren’t now . Although she did think the bride’s dress she had picked out was cute but not what she wanted today.
"Man, we had issues," Jade said shaking her head.
Traci agreed. Then she got serious and looked at Jade. "So, what are we going to do about Sandi? I spoke to her this morning, and she was so down. Nothing has happened in over two weeks, and the boys
