“Morning bail bonds,” said Dog as he answered the phone in the office that morning. “Howz it Dog its me,” said Tru at the other end of the phone. “Hey baby girl you ok? You sound rough,” said Dog sounding a little worried. She normally beat him into the office in the morning. So he had panicked when she wasn’t there. He had grown fond of her since she had come into their lives a year ago. She was like a daughter to him and Beth and also to Youngblood. She had suffered from a terrible past and Dog didn’t want anything else bad to happen to her. She had also got it together with his son Leland 6 months before and they could all see it was the best thing that happened to both of them. “I ain’t feeling to good this morning bra I’m going to lie down for a while, I’ll be in this afternoon though,” said Tru who was 3 months pregnant but hadn’t told anyone. “K baby girl feel better and we’ll see you later…k bye,” said Dog hanging up the phone as Leland walked into the room. “Who was that?” asked Leland as he threw his bag down beside the chair and sat down. “It was Tru she ain’t feeling too good, she’ll be in later though,” said Dog as he pulled out a file from the pile that was sitting in front of him. “I’ll give her a ring in a minute, who have we got today?” asked Leland as Beth, Youngblood and the camera crew arrived. “A guy by the name of Jeff Hillis, for fire arms and drugs,” replied Dog reading through the file. “What’s up bra?” Youngblood asked Leland who had gone very pale. “That’s Tru’s ex fella,” said Leland as Dog looked at him. He remembered Jeff, he was the guy who beat Tru to a pulp. “Guess who the co-signer is,” said Dog trying to keep calm so Leland wouldn’t panic. “Tru,” whispered Leland looking worried. “Yeah well we’ll keep her out of this if we can. She hasn’t seen him in 6 months,” said Beth, the tone in her voice making things final.
“I’m going to give her a ring,” said Leland as he grabbed his phone and stepped outside. “Howz it baby girl how you feeling?” asked Leland when she answered the phone. “Am feeling better thanks, am having a smoke in the sunshine, then jumping in the shower then I’ll be in,” replied Tru as she lit a cigarette and sat down outside her house. “Cool, can’t wait to see you,” said Leland as he dandered about the car park. “Can’t wait to see you either,” said Tru. She didn’t hear the click of a camera as someone took a picture of her on their phone. “Shower time for me,” said Tru as she finished her cigarette and put it out. “Ok baby girl see you soon,” said Leland before hanging up the phone. Leland stood in the car park lost in his own thoughts. He heard his dad’s phone going off in the office and thought nothing of it. “Leland get in here,” barked Dog suddenly pulling Leland out of his thoughts. Leland ran back inside. “What is it bra?” he asked not liking the look on his dads face. Youngblood ran past him in full gear. “Look at this,” said Dog as he handed his son his cell phone. “Suit up,” said Leland going white. What Dog had shown him was a picture of Tru in her dressing gown, standing outside her house having a smoke and talking on the phone. Underneath it said ‘can you guess where I am Dog? Jeff’ Leland threw on his bullet proof vest, strapped on his mace and jumped in the car. “Youngblood should be there now,” said Dog as he got into the drivers seat. Leland nodded as Dog started the car and put his foot to the floor.

They reached Tru’s house in record time. Leland jumped out of the car and raced up the drive and rang the door bell. Youngblood answered the door. “Leland bra, I’m glad you’re here, Tru is freaking out in there, you know more bout it so I thought you or your dad could explain,” said Youngblood when he opened the door. “Leland? Dog? Bullet proof vests? Mace? What the hell is going on here?” asked Tru as they walked into the living room. Leland who noticed she was crying walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her. “Baby girl I don’t want to panic you but…the guy we’re hunting today is your ex fella Jeff, he sent me this photo this morning,” said Dog as he brought up the picture and handed her his cell phone. “He’s here?” she asked in disbelief. “We think he still could be,” said Dog as Youngblood nodded confirming it. “I’m getting sick of this, it stops today,” said Tru drying her eyes as she pulled out of Leland’s embrace and headed for the front door. She knew Leland would watch her back as she opened the door with a bang. She was right Leland was right behind her mace can at the ready. He closed the door over slightly and stood behind it. He would help her if she needed it but he knew she liked to stand up for herself.
“Jeff I know you’re here bra so why hide,” shouted Tru as she walked down the drive way. “Yeah well I never was any good at hiding,” said Jeff as he appeared from behind a car and stepped forward. “This is between you and me, you have pissed me off and now your a*s is going back to jail,” said Tru as calmly as possible. “Make me,” said Jeff as he produced a knife from somewhere. “My name is on that bond so with pleasure,” said Tru as he ran at her. She hit him with a spinning heel kick that knocked the knife out of his hand and sent it flying into the bushes. “B***h,” he hissed as he aimed a few punches at her. The first one connected with her eye. As he aimed for the second punch she grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. “Cuffs Leland,” she called as Leland stepped out from behind the door. They cuffed him as Dog and Youngblood joined them. “Let’s get this piece of crap to jail,” said Youngblood as he took over for Tru. “We’ll take him you two relax and we’ll see you at the office, I’ll leave you the car,” said Dog as they loaded Jeff into Youngblood’s car and drove off.

“Thought you might want these,” said Leland as he handed over her cigarettes and lighter. “Thanks,” said Tru as she felt her knees buckle with relief that it was over. Having quick reactions Leland caught her before she hit the ground. “It’s over baby girl, you did good I’m so proud of you,” said Leland as he pulled her in close and kissed her gently. “Thanks,” she said as she lay her head on his shoulder. “We may get to the office,” said Tru as she lit a cigarette. “Yeah we should,” said Leland not really wanting to move. He went in and grabbed the keys he needed. He lit a cigarette of his own as he locked the door of the house and they got into the car. They arrived at the office at the same time as Dog and Youngblood. “Coffee?” asked Dog as they met at the back door. “Please,” came 3 replies as they walked into the main office. “Howz it sista, I heard what happened you did good today,” said Beth coming round the desk and giving her a hug. “Sorry I missed it, would have loved to have seen you in action,” said Daune - Lee who had just arrived a few minutes before them. “Thanks Beth, that’s ok DL,” said Tru as Dog reappeared holding 3 cups then he went to get the rest. Tru had just taken her cup when her phone started to ring. “My mum,” said Tru as Leland’s head snapped up from the file he was reading. He thought it might have been Jeff using his phone call to annoy her. Tru grabbed her phone and stepped outside she had to tell her mum the news.
“Howz it mum,” she said when she answered the phone. “Yeah I have some news for you…You really want to know over the phone?…ok, ok I’m pregnant,” said Tru as she cursed herself for not bringing out her cigarettes or lighter. Dog being the nearest to the door heard Tru’s side of the conversation nearly dropped his mug of coffee. He set the mug down, lifted Tru’s cigarettes and lighter and headed for the back door. “What’s up with him?” he heard Beth mumble but he ignored it. “No I haven’t told him yet…yes he is…I have to go…k bye,” said Tru hanging up the phone as Dog appeared. “Shall we go for a walk baby girl?” he asked as he handed over her lighter and cigarettes. “Yeah sure,” said Tru as they walked through the car park and down the street. “I heard what you told your mum,” said Dog as they sat down on a bench and Tru lit a cigarette and offered Dog one. “Which bit?” she asked playing dumb as she watched Dog take a cigarette and light it. “All of it, that you’re pregnant, does Leland know?” asked Dog gently taking her hand. “No he doesn’t, I don’t know how to tell him, I don’t know how he’ll react to the news, I’m scared Dog,” said Tru as tears came to her eyes. Dog could understand why she was so scared. Jeff had beat her up so badly when she told him she was pregnant that she lost the baby. The only person she had told was Dog as she didn’t want pity. Dog knew she was scared Leland would react in the same way when he found out. “Baby girl he’ll be overjoyed, don’t let the past rule your future. Leland is completely different from Jeff in every way,” said Dog giving her a much needed hug as she threw her finished cigarette away. “Thanks Dog, I’ll tell him I swear,” said Tru as they got up and headed back to the office. “That’s my girl,” he said as he kissed her cheek and they walked into the room.

“You ok?” asked Leland looking up from the file he was reading and he saw her tearstained face. “Yeah I’m fine,” said Tru smiling as she sat down beside him and he put his arm around her. “Can we get some work done now?” asked Beth as he handed her back the file. “Yeah but not just yet,” said Dog as he threw Tru a look that said ‘tell him I’m behind you all the way on this.’ “Leland can I have a word?” asked Tru as she got up and headed out the back door again. “What the hell is going on?” demanded Beth as Leland shrugged and followed Tru out the back door looking confused. “No cameras,” said dog as he stopped a camera man following them. “Can we go for a walk?” asked Tru when Leland joined her outside. “Yeah of course,” he said as he put an arm round her shoulders and they walked through the car park and up the street. “What is it you need to tell me baby girl?” asked Leland as they reached the bench where she had sat with Dog not long before. “You might want to sit down for this,” said Tru as she looked down at her feet, she was feeling so nervous. “What’s up? You’re starting to scare me,” said Leland looking worried as he sat down on the bench.
“Leland how would you feel if I told you, you’re going to be a dad?” asked Tru looking very nervous. “I would love it,” said Leland with a smile on his face. “Really?” she asked looking very surprised. Leland had two children already she didn’t think he would want anymore. “Really,” he confirmed for her still smiling. “Well Leland Chapman you are going to be a dad,” said Tru as she waited for the punch that never came. “Really?” asked Leland looking shocked as the news sank in. When Tru nodded he pulled her into his embrace. “I love you baby girl, I am so happy right now,” he said as he kissed her lovingly. “I love you too bra,” she said as she kissed him back. “Though we better get back to the office before Beth throws a fit,” said Tru when the kissed finished. Together they walked back to the office hand in hand.

“Is anyone going to tell me what is going on?” demanded Beth when they walked back into the office. Leland looked at Tru who nodded and smiled. She knew Leland would wind Beth up as he told her. “Can we film this?” asked a camera man. Dog looked at Tru this would be completely up to her. “Yeah ok,” said Tru smiling she knew this would be a giggle. A few seconds later the camera was rolling. “Well what is it?!” asked Beth growing restless. “Ok grandma, calm down and I’ll tell you,” said Leland with a smile on his face as he put some force behind the word grandma. “What did you call me? I ain’t a…” began Beth sounding pissed off but then something in her head clicked. “Are you?” she asked as she turned to look at Tru who was sitting with a grin on her face. “Yeah I am,” said Tru laughing unable to hold it in. “That’s brilliant news sista, congrats you two,” said Beth as she hugged Tru and Leland. “It’s good to see you smiling,” said Youngblood as he hugged Tru and shook Leland’s hand. “You’re going to be great parents,” said Daune-Lee as he hugged Tru and then pounced on his brother. Tru smiled she was happier than she had ever been and she was safe in the knowledge that she was now a member of the Chapman family.
“You know this means you can’t go on hunts,” said Dog when the congratulations were out of the way. “He’s right you know,” said Leland as they sat down. “Can I not watch from the side line and help bring them in once they’re caught?” asked Tru with hope clear in her voice. “Sorry baby girl what if it gets ugly, you know yourself what can happen and what you’re like,” said Youngblood looking out for her as always. “I know I like to jump in and get involved,” said Tru deflated. She knew they were right and that they didn’t want anything to happen to her. “How bout you and me take the afternoon off and crash out at your place?” suggested Beth as she threw a look at Dog. “Sounds like a good plan, this capture will be easy so you girls go and enjoy yourselves,” said Dog catching onto Beth’s look quickly. “Thanks big daddy,” said Beth as she and Tru collected their things and headed to Beth’s car. “Your place or mine?” asked Tru as she got into the passenger seat. “Yours we’ll leave the nanny looking after the kids,” said Beth as she got in and started the car. Twenty minutes later they arrived at Tru’s house.
At Tru’s house
“Shall I open a bottle of wine for you?” asked Tru as she unlocked the door and let Beth in, she knew she couldn’t drink so had bought a load of her favourite soft drink…pepsi. “Yeah that would be great,” said Beth as she looked through Tru’s dvd collection. “Wine coming up,” said Tru as she walked into the kitchen, set her things down on the table and pulled out a bottle of wine from the fridge. As she was about to open it her phone started ringing. It was a number she didn’t recognise so she answered. “Hello?” she asked when she answered the phone. “Hey huni guess who?” said a voce that made her blood run cold. “Jeff,” she whispered as she closed the kitchen door so Beth wouldn’t hear her. “That’s right, I got out hun, and guess what I’m on my way to see you, time for pay back,” he said as he laughed. She knew he wasn’t lying as she could hear what sounded like a moving vehicle. “Why? You and I have nothing more to talk about,” she said losing some of the fear from her voice. “No but it was thanks to you I was arrested this morning,” he hissed getting mad. “Tell you what a**hole bring it,” said Tru before hanging up the phone. She didn’t realise she was shaking. “Everything ok sista?” asked Beth coming into the kitchen, however when she caught sight of Tru she knew it wasn’t. “What’s up you’re as white as a sheet and you’re shaking,” said Beth as she came up to Tru and hugged her tight. “Jeff… rang me, he says…he says he’s on his way round here,” said Tru hardly able to get the words out of her mouth. “Run to the car and get the mace, Dog left it in the car earlier, then come in and lock the door,” said Beth taking charge she saw that Tru was in no condition to know what to do. Tru did as she was told when she went to the car she found two containers of mace so she grabbed them both. She locked the car then ran back into the house locking the door behind her. She handed Beth a container of mace and they waited for Jeff to appear, hoping that Dog, Youngblood, Leland and Daune-Lee wouldn’t be to long on their hunt.

At the office
“I think Tru’s mad that she can’t go on hunts any more,” said Daune-Lee voicing the thought everyone had in their heads. “We’ll have to watch her carefully in case she tries to go on one with out us,” said Dog, for he knew how head strong Tru could be. “I will don’t worry,” said Leland reassuring everyone. “So will I, when you’re out,” said Youngblood, he meant to stick to Tru like glue. “Let’s do this so I can get home and celebrate,” said Leland as he grabbed the file. “Ok the guys name is Ben Thomas, 30 years old, assault in the first on a family member and assault in the second, thought you said this would be easy,” said Leland as he looked at his dad. Dog laughed “It will be he has to do some paper work, here’s the plan…I’m going to give him a ring and say I’m sending you to do the paper work with him and we’re going to hide then when you meet him bam we catch him. He claims he ain’t scared of you,” said Dog as he pulled out his gear and started to suit up. Leland threw his dad a look that said ‘yeah right.’ Before Leland could pull his things on the phone went, he went to answer it but Youngblood got there first. “Bail bonds,” said Youngblood as he threw Leland a look that said ‘haha I got there first.’ “Yeah this is Tim,” he said suddenly getting serious. “WHAT?” he nearly shouted as he listened to someone telling him something. “I see, thanks for calling I’ll get round there right away,” said Youngblood before hanging up the phone. “What is it Youngblood?” asked Dog who had never seen him so serious in his life. “That was the police, Jeff got bailed out about an hour ago, they said he mentioned something bout going to see Tru,” said Tim as he geared up. “You go hunt Ben, I’ve got this sorted,” said Leland as he grabbed his bag and headed for the car. “I’m going to kill that son of a b***h,” Leland mumbled as he jumped in the car and headed towards Tru’s house praying that he wasn’t to late.

At Tru’s house
Leland jumped out of the car locking it in the process. He ran up the drive way and opened the door, slammed it shut behind him and ran into the living room. “Tru…Beth Are you here?” he called when he saw no one about. “Leland?” questioned a voice from the bedroom. He should have known she would hide in there as there was a lock on the door. “Yeah Beth it’s me,” he replied. He heard the door being unlocked and Tru and Beth appeared. Tru pounced on him for a hug as Beth smiled. She was glad Leland was here for her. Just then there was a bang at the door. “He won’t know I’m here, I parked somewhere else,” whispered Leland as Tru started to shake. She nodded as Beth and Leland hid in one of the rooms. “Who’s there?” shouted Tru as the bang came again. “Guess who,” came back Jeff’s reply as he continued to bang on the door. “I’m getting sick of this,” muttered Tru to herself as she grabbed a mace can and headed for the front door. She threw the front door open and sprayed mace straight into Jeff’s eyes. “Leland…Beth…Get out here, before I kill the son of a b***h,” called Tru as she twisted Jeff’s arm up behind his back. Leland appeared instantly with cuffs. “You’re going back to jail,” hissed Leland to Jeff as he put the cuffs on a towed him away. “You did good sista,” said Beth as she wrapped her arms round her friend. “Thanks, can I have a cigarette?” asked Tru she knew she wasn’t supposed to but she felt like she needed one. “I think you need it,” said Beth reading her mind.
At the Jail
“You really think you can hurt her now?” asked Leland as he washed out Jeff’s eyes as they waited outside to be let into the jail. “I can try, you can’t protect her all the time,” spat Jeff as Leland looked at him ready to kill him, then remembered that Tru could look after herself. “That’s true bra, but I know for a fact she can handle herself now,” said Leland as he lit a cigarette for himself and Jeff. “Really, well I’ll get her when she isn’t on the lookout for me,” said Jeff as he took a draw from the cigarette. “She’s always ready I can’t even surprise her anymore,” said Leland thinking back to when he was able to creep up on her and pounce on her. “There will be a time,” said Jeff as a policeman appeared at the back door to escort Jeff into the building. Another policeman appeared to take any information Leland had to give him. “Don’t let him out on bail, he keeps harassing his ex-girlfriend blames her on him being caught in the first place,” said Leland once he had passed on the information he had. Then he returned to the office.
At the office
“You ok Beth?” asked Dog who had called Beth a few minutes after Leland had took Jeff back to jail. “Leland with you?” he asked after hearing Beth’s reply. He smiled as he listened to Beth tell him what had happened and laughed when she told him that Tru had maced the guy before he even stepped in the door. “Enjoy the rest of your day,” he said before hanging up the phone. “What’s so funny?” asked Youngblood wanting in on the joke to. Daune-Lee also wanted to know. “Tru maced Jeff when he banged on the door and Leland hauled him back to jail,” said Dog as Youngblood started to laugh. “Tru won’t take anymore s**t from him,” said Daune-Lee as Leland came in the door. “Sorry bout that had to take some scum back to jail,” said Leland smiling as he walked in the door.

At Tru’s House
“Beth do you think we could go to the office?” asked Tru as she lit another cigarette. She knew she shouldn’t be smoking but she needed to calm down after what had happened. “Sure sista, what for?” asked Beth as she returned the wine to the fridge. She knew there was no point opening it if Tru wanted to head out. “I want to do paper work, I can always calm down and de-stress if I’m doing paper work and you know me Beth I can always find someone for the guys to hunt,” said Tru laughing as she remembered the last time she did paper work. When they were out on a bounty Tru had been in the office sorting out files, she had found a file that had slipped to the back and the guy had to be caught within two days or they would lose the money. She had prepared everything for them so all they had to do was catch the guy but it didn’t run smooth. Tru had ended up with a twisted knee. “They’ll hate you for it, I hope you find them one who they can’t find for a while to give you peace to tidy the office up,” said Beth as she thought of the way the office looked, it was like a bomb site. “They’ll hate me for that,” said Tru as she smiled she knew while they were out she could go and nab the easy fugitives. “Let’s go,” said Beth as she grabbed her car keys and they headed for the car. They arrived in the office twenty minutes later.
At The Office
“Hey baby girl what are you doing here?” asked Leland as Tru and Beth walked in and sat down. “I’m here to do paper work,” said Tru smiling as Dog, Daune-Lee and Youngblood all groaned. They remembered the last time she had done paper work. “Are you sure you have to?” asked Youngblood hoping he could talk her out of it. “Yeah, as you don’t want me going on bounties what else is there to do? I’m not stopping work completely,” said Tru as she moved to a desk and started to look through the files that where there. When she came to one she frowned, this girl should have been caught before now, if they didn’t catch her today they would lose the money. “Guys we got a problem here,” said Tru as she passed Dog the file and he quickly read through it. “What’s the problem?” asked Leland as Dog started preparing to go and catch the girl. “The file I gave you dad needs to be caught before you come home and this guy needs to be caught before next Monday,” said Tru as she handed Leland the other file she had come to. She knew the one she had handed Leland would take them a few days which gave her plenty of time to catch a few easy ones, who would literally walk into the jail with her. They were terrified of her as she had told them if they burned her she would hunt them down no matter where they ran and drag them kicking and screaming to jail while filming everything. “Right let’s suit up and go and get this girl,,” said Dog once he had made all the phone calls he needed to. “Do you need me on this I might stay here and help Tru,” said Youngblood trying not to make it obvious he was keeping an eye on her. “No problem Youngblood, we’ll see you back here when we’re done,” said Dog as the rest of the crew headed out to the cars. “You didn’t have to stay Youngblood,” said Tru as she continued to sort through files, she was itching to go out and catch someone and didn’t want him hanging around. “It’s not a problem I could do with doing some paper work to,” said Youngblood as he settled down at a desk.
On the Hunt (In Beth’s car)
“Do you think Tru was planning on hunting an easy one?” asked Daune-Lee as he and Beth jumped into one SUV. “More than likely is that not why Youngblood stayed to stop her?” asked Beth reading Daune-Lee’s mind. “Yeah it is but you know what Tru’s like she’ll find someone for him to catch,” said Daune-Lee laughing, she had done that to him when she wasn’t allowed to go on hunts after twisting her knee. “More than likely, maybe you should give Youngblood a ring and warn him,” said Beth as she followed the car that Dog was driving. They were having the exact same conversation. “Nah let him find out the hard way,” said Daune-Lee as Leland told his dad the same thing.
On the Hunt (In Dog’s car)
“Are you sure?” asked Dog laughing as Leland remind him what Tru had done on Daune-Lee six months ago when she twisted her knee. “Yeah I’m sure Youngblood can cope,” said Leland as they headed for the co-signers house. They had rung and the co-signer had agreed to show them the fugitives haunts and hopefully they would catch her. “Ok we’ll not warn him we’ll let him find out for himself,” said Dog laughing as he took a right turn.

At the Office
"Youngblood can you do me a big favour?" asked Tru as she tried to think of a way to get out of the office to get a fugitive. "What's that baby girl?" asked Tim who was looking through a file of a bond he had written recently. "I'm craving a taco right now, would you be a star and mind the office while I go and get one?" she asked, thinking she could get the guy on the way. "No problem huni, can you grab me one of whatever you are having?" asked Youngblood as he handed her a $10 bill. "Sure thing," said Tru as she slipped the file and the money into her bag. He smiled as he watched her leave and then picked up the files on her desk. Surely he would know if she had taken one. As he looked through her files she was calling Amanda Howard who was terrified of her. They arranged to meet at Taco Bell and Tru could get her food then they would head over to the jail and sort everything out. Tru promised that she would keep the bond on her as long as she checked in every day.
At Taco Bell
"I'll take two tacos to go with everything on them," said Tru when she got to the counter. As she paid for her food Amanda appeared and tapped her on the shoulder. "Amanda how are you?" asked Tru as she hugged the younger girl. "Scared, I don't want to go back to jail," said Amanda as Tru took the bag of food and they headed to the car. "Don't worry sista, you'll only be in there over night and then I'm getting you right back out again, the fact that you are handing yourself in works in your favour, means there are no new charges and no bail jumping has been added," said Tru as they both jumped into the car and headed for the jail. "And no film crew are taping me," said Amanda as she realised this happily. "Exactly, thought it would be better to send them with Dog," said Tru laughing. She started the car and headed for the jail.
At the Jail
"All right sista time for you to do your thing," said Tru as she pulled into a parking space. "Can you not come with me?" asked Amanda getting nervous, she wasn't going to run she just wanted to know she was safe. "It wouldn't look like you were handing yourself in then, you're going to be fine sista they will treat you with respect and if they don't I'll report them," said Tru making Amanda smile. "Thanks sista," said Amanda as she gave Tru a hug and jumped out of the car. Tru watched her go in and waited 10 minutes before starting the car. She was about to pull out of her parking space when her cell phone started ringing it was Tim. She realised then she had been out far longer than it should have taken to get tacos.
On the way to the office
"Howz it Youngblood is everything ok?" she asked innocently as she pulled into the traffic lane that would take her back. "Everything is fine here, was just wondering where you were," said Youngblood as he lit a cigarette. He had checked through the files and was near sure she had gone to get someone as well as the tacos. "The line in Taco Bell took forever," said Tru as she crossed her fingers. "No problem huni how long you going to be?" asked Youngblood as she pulled up in the car park. "Not long now," said Tru laughing as she killed the engine, lifted the food and headed into the office. "Ok see you soon," said Youngblood as he hung up the phone. She tried not to giggle as she snuck up on him and placed her hands over his eyes causing him to jump.
At the office
"Guess you were closer than I thought," said Youngblood laughing as she removed her hands and handed him his taco. "Sorry I took so long," said Tru smiling as she sat down, she didn't think she had been caught out. "How is Amanda? Did you get her to jail ok?" asked Youngblood with a grin. The station had rang to say she had handed herself in so they didn't need to go get her. Tim had guessed then that Tru had been the one to drop her off. "How did you know?" asked Tru as she realised she had forgotten the police did that. "Police called," said Youngblood laughing. He had decided he would forgive her this once but from now on where she went he went. Before he could say any more on the matter the rest of the crew arrived back. He threw Tru a look as they settled down to eat their tacos.

At the office
“You went on a bust today huh?” said Leland as he noticed the file in her bag. She went bright red as she nodded and Leland and Daune-Lee laughed. “What’s so funny?” asked Youngblood confused. “Brah do you not remember when Tru twisted her knee? She found a way to get past Daune-Lee to go on a bust so we knew she would figure out how to get past you,” said Leland as Youngblood grinned sheepishly, he had forgotten or he would have known to go with her to Taco Bell. “How did the bust go?” asked Dog as he pulled out his cigarettes. He had known long before the others that she would do her own thing and was happy to let her do the easy ones, as they were people she knew well and could talk into going to jail. “It went ok, I met Amanda at Taco Bell and after a chat she came to the jail with me, I’m renewing her bond tomorrow,” said Tru hoping that now Dog would let her do the easy busts from now on until she was at least 6 months pregnant. “I think with easy ones like that…meaning the ones you’ve written you should go and pick them up, they are s*** scared of you and won’t run,” said Dog as Beth glared at him, when she had been pregnant she had been assigned to paper work and couldn’t argue and she had hated it. “But big daddy what if something happens?” said Beth voicing her concerns. “It won’t as I’m assigning one of the guys to stay with her each day,” said Dog thinking it through. He was thinking that he could pull Richie out of the other office and that way could spare one of the team. “Sounds like a good plan big daddy, now we may get home to the kids,” said Beth smiling as she grabbed her bag and walked out the door.
At Tru’s House
“Do you think Beth is mad that I’m doing easy busts?” asked Tru as they settled down on the sofa. “I think she’s just worried she doesn’t want to see you or the baby get hurt,” said Leland as he placed an arm round her. “I know but she’s knows I can handle myself,” said Tru as she thought back to how she first met Beth. She had been in a right state when Beth had met her, she was together with a wife beater and was black and blue all over. Beth had stopped them from killing each other and hauled the guy to jail. Before she had intervened she had watched Tru beat the s*** out of him. “She knows you can,” said Leland who didn’t know exactly what had happened but didn’t care as long as she was safe. “I was thinking about something,” said Tru as she started to voice her thoughts out loud. “What’s that baby girl?” asked Leland as he looked at her. “What would you say bout moving in here?” asked Tru as though she asked it every day of the week. “That sounds like a brilliant idea, baby girl,” said Leland as he kissed her. They relaxed for the rest of the evening and Leland stayed the night.

At Leland’s House (two weeks later)
“Leland do I even wanna know what‘s in this?“ asked Tru as she held up a box and Leland blushed. He knew what was in the box without opening it. “You can bin that,” said Leland as Beth and Lyssa laughed at his red face. “What about these?” asked Lyssa as she pulled out a collection of jumpers that his mum had sent him, he never wore them as they wasn’t really any need. “Bin them,” replied Leland as he loaded a box with clothes. “Are you sure?” asked Lyssa, she didn’t want him binning something only to need it later. “I’m sure,” said Leland laughing, he knew what Lyssa was like, she liked to keep everything. When all the boxes where packed they loaded them into the car. They all headed to Tru’s house to unload the boxes and then to the office to work. Leland would have to unpack later.
At the office
“Have you anyone for me?” asked Tru as she walked in the door to find Dog, Daune-Lee and Youngblood sitting about. “Yeah this is one of yours do you think he’ll be easy?” asked Dog as he handed her a file. “Yeah he should be I could trick him into the office,” said Tru once she had looked through the file. The crew smiled it was all her bounties they were after so where she went they went. “Sounds like a good plan,” said Dog as she headed over to the phone to make the call. She returned a few minutes later looking happy. “He’s coming in,” she said as she sat down and found her water bottle. “Let’s suit up,” said Leland as he reached for his bag. He wanted to be ready in case anything went wrong and Tru knew it so she couldn’t say anything to stop them. They all suited up and were ready and waiting for their guy George to appear. When he did appear the rest of the crew hide in the back leaving Tru at the front so he wouldn’t suspect a thing. “Where’s the rest of the crew? Surely it can’t be just you,” sneered George when he walked into the room. “Take a seat, you’re right it’s not just me here the others are getting ready to go after someone,” said Tru as she pulled out paper work she knew she didn’t need. “Who are they going after?” asked George as he sat down in the seat nearest Tru. “You,” said Leland as he came out the door and made for George. Quick as a flash George had pulled Tru close to him and produced a knife, which he held close to her throat. “You don’t think I’m going to go that easy do you?” asked George as Leland came to a standstill and Dog and Youngblood appeared. “Give me the knife brah this is going to do you no good,” said Dog calmly as he inched his way forward. “I wouldn’t if I were you,” said George noticing Dog’s movement. Beth and Daune-Lee who were still in the back office heard what was going on and decided to sneak round. As they entered the front door they saw Leland try and make a grab for the fugitive. George very quickly pulled the knife from her throat and stabbed her in the back, before running out the door. “Ring an ambulance Beth and stay with her, we’ll follow you up,” yelled Dog as he, Daune-Lee, Youngblood and Leland all took off after the guy. “Easy bust huh?” asked Beth as she knelt down beside Tru and used her coat to steam the bleeding. She quickly dialled 911 and waited for the ambulance to appear.

On The Run
“Wait till I get the motherf*****,” seethed Youngblood as he ran after George and followed him down an alley way. “You’ll have to wait your turn,” said Leland as he overtook Youngblood and tripped the fugitive up. Not knowing who was behind him George lashed out and tried to hit Leland. “Just what I was hoping you would do,” cried Leland happily as he hit back and got in a few good punches before Dog pulled him off. “Leland let him go to court and get sent down for what he did to Tru,” said Dog as Youngblood slapped on cuffs and Dog showed him the knife which George had used in a bag. Leland nodded and let Youngblood and Daune-Lee take him to jail while Dog rushed him to the hospital to be with Tru. He didn’t know if she was going to make it as he didn’t even know where she had been stabbed.
At The Hospital
Leland and Dog reached the hospital in record time to find Beth in one of the family rooms crying. “How bad is it Bethy? What have the doctors said?” asked Dog as he sat down beside his wife and tried to comfort her. “The doctor said if they can’t stop the bleeding we could loose her, if they can get it under control both will be fine, but what if they can’t big daddy,” sobbed Beth into his shoulder. “We need to believe that they can stop it,” said Leland as a doctor walked into the room. “I need to ask a question does anyone here have AB blood?” asked the doctor as they turned to look at him. “I do,” said Leland stepping forward, if Tru needed blood then she could have his as long as she came back to him. “Come with me,” said the doctor as he lead Leland out of the room. Leland returned half an hour later looking a bit calmer. “She’s still in surgery, the baby is doing fine and the blood will help,” said Leland as he sat down to wait. Half an hour later Youngblood and Daune-Lee arrived at the hospital. “How’s she doing?” asked Youngblood as they sat down beside Leland.

“We haven’t heard yet so they must be still working on her, I gave blood bout half an hour ago,” said Leland looking totally miserable. He didn’t want to lose either Tru or the baby, he hoped everything was all right. “We would have heard by now if she was gone,” said Youngblood trying to stay positive. Leland smiled and said nothing. They sat in silence for half an hour until a doctor appeared. “How is she?” asked Leland as he jumped off his seat. “She’s stable for now, she lost a lot of blood, baby is fine to, we fought and managed to save it,” said the doctor as Leland smiled. “Can we see her?” asked Beth taking the words out of Leland’s mouth. “You can only two at a time as she needs to rest for hers and the baby’s sakes,” said the doctor as Dog and Leland followed him to her room. “Hey baby girl how you feeling?” asked Leland as he sat down beside her. “Like I’ve been hit by a bus,” said Tru as she giggled. “I’m so glad you’re ok, I thought I’d lost you,” said Leland as he took her hand and Dog sat down at the opposite side of the bed. “She’s a fighter Leland it will take more than that to get rid of her,” said Dog as Tru smiled at him. “Yeah I know,” said Leland as his face went bright red. “The doctor told me they saved the baby,” said Tru smiling as she cried happy tears. Leland cried along with her. When there tears subsided Leland said he had to go as he didn’t want to tire her out and he would be back tomorrow to see her.
At Leland’s House
“She’ll be fine brah you heard her she’s a fighter,” said Daune-Lee as they let themselves in. “I know brah but I can’t help but worry,” said Leland as they flopped down onto the sofa. “You want me to stay tonight keep you company?” asked Daune-Lee as he yawned. “Yeah brah that would be great,” said Leland smiling. He knew that his older brother would always watch out for him when he needed him most.

At Dog’s House
“I hope she’ll get home soon so we can look after her,” said Beth as they walked in the door. “And we’ll have to watch she doesn’t slip out on bounties,” said Dog as he remembered what she had done the other day. “That’s true, do you think she should go home to hers or home to here where Lyssa can keep her company?” asked Beth thinking out loud. “We’ll have to talk to Leland bout that I think he’ll want her home, but she could come here during the day,” said Dog thinking she could have the best of both worlds. “Sounds like a good plan big daddy, lets get to bed I wanna head to the hospital early,” said Beth as she lead Dog towards the bedroom.
At The Hospital
“Morning baby girl how you feeling today?” asked Leland as he and Daune-Lee walked into the room. “Like I wanna get the hell out of here,” she replied looking very bored. “Did you sleep last night?” asked Daune-Lee as they sat down on either side of her. “On and off with the pain meds, but when I couldn’t get back to sleep I read for a bit and have nothing left to read, Leland will you see if they’ll let me go home?” asked Tru as she threw him her best puppy dog eye look. “They won’t as there is no one in our house during the day so no one will be there to keep an eye on you,” said Leland as Tru pouted. “She can stay at ours during the day Lyssa’s there to keep her company,” said Dog as he and Beth walked in the door. “Ok I’ll speak to the doctor,” said Leland giving in as Tru grinned from ear to ear. He kissed her lightly as he stepped out to find the doctor.
In the Corridor
“Can I speak with the doctor who worked on Tru Hardy?” asked Leland as he made his way to the nurses station. “Is anything wrong?” asked the nurse as she looked up alarmed. “Everything is fine we just have one very bored girl in there that wants to go home,” said Leland reassuring the nurse that all was well. “I’ll get him for you now,” said the nurse as she paged the doctor.
