One of the women is forcing Pam to drink orange juice. They think she’s having a diabetic shock seizure. Heavenlee looks out the window and sees her father's SUV driving out of the parking lot. She clears her throat and squats down beside Pam. A few seconds later, Pam stops jerking her body and looks at Heavenlee. “I’m okay now.”
Heavenlee helps her up. “Thank you all for your help. I’m just going to take her home.” Her arm is around Pam as they are walking out of the Spa. One of the women catches up with them to give them their clothes and purses. “Thank you again."
When Pam and Heavenlee get in the car, Heavenlee looks at Pam. “Where did that come from? Damn, you’re good.”
“The first thing that came to my mind was that scene Julia Roberts did in Steel Magnolias. I wasn’t expecting any juice.” Pam laughs.
Heavenlee laughs. “Now, that was one hell of a distraction.” She drives out of the parking lot.

Nora is reading to Georgina and Jonah in Joseph’s family room when Marcus and Joseph. After she couldn’t get Lauren to calm down, she sedated her. Joseph can’t believe that his wife lost it. Nora sends the two kids to their rooms while she talks to Joseph and Marcus.
Marcus sits beside her and kisses her cheek. He glances at Joseph. “Lauren will be fine. She’s just upset.”
Joseph nods his head, looking at him, concerned at the stairs, then at Nora.
“Marcus is right. Lauren is scared.” Nora looks at Joseph. “Watch her. She might sneak out. She kept talking about going to her parent's house with the kids.”
“Okay. s**t. Heavenlee men are here. So maybe she won't try anything stupid. I can’t believe that assholes are targeting my damn brother because of his friendship with _” Joseph stops talking when he realizes he is talking too much. "s**t," he mumbled and shook his head.
Marcus snaps his head at Joseph, thinking, “Damn it, you're talking too damn much.”
Nora rubs Marcus's hand and kisses his cheek.”I will get the kids ready for dinner that Heavenlee sent over. She told us to make a grocery list and that someone will go shopping. I told her that Marcus and I would be going home tonight. So make sure to have the list ready first thing in the morning. ” She’s walking out of the room.
Joseph is looking at the doorway. “Sorry, man, I just got worked up. s**t, I'm worried as hell about you. I didn’t mean to say that.”
“I know. Just watch your words carefully.” Marcus tilts his head and looks at the doorway. “Have you ever noticed that Nora and Heaven talk quite a bit?”
“Nope. But it’s probably because of them exchanging recipes” Joseph pours himself and Marcus glasses of Cognac.
“Uh, maybe. I’m still trying to figure out who knows about Heaven and me.” Marcus takes a few sips of Cognac. “Whoever it is have had to have this damn grudge for a long time.”
Joseph turns his glass up until it’s empty. “One damn thing, that's for sure. Heavenlee isn’t half-stepping when it comes to protecting you. Man, your ass had four men with you all day. I guess I’m not as important as you are. Since I only had two,” He chuckles and pours himself another glass.
Marcus chuckles. “She’s just being a precaution. Nothing more. Let’s change the subject” He’s looking at Nora, wondering, “why does he get the feeling that she knows about his and Heaven's past relationship? If she does, how and, more importantly, why hasn't she said anything about it."

Carlisle, Al, and Ray are in the den watching tv. Carlisle keeps looking at his watch. Al smirks. “Man, Ninja Girl and your mother are fine. They are enjoying all the pampering.”
“I’m sure they are, but I will feel much better when my mother and Baby are back." He’s looking at Jackson and Ana taking the kids upstairs. “I can’t believe Baby talked me into agreeing to let that young man stay here.”
Ray and Al laugh.
“Get serious. Heavenlee can talk you into anything. She changed your ass in one day from being single to being in a full-blown committed relationship.” Ray picks up his soda.
“That she did. Baby is a very special woman. That night at the school, I started to grab her ass and put her in the SUV. I’m glad I didn’t because she would have killed me, Al, and Buford.” Carlisle laughs, then he stops. He’s looking at Baby and his mother walking into the room dressed in yoga pants and tank tops. He jumps up and runs over to them. "What in the hell happened? Those are not the clothes either of you was wearing when you left." Carlisle is looking at both of their body to see if they are hurt.
Heavenlee kisses him. "We're fine, Babe. But remind me to order mom a trophy for Best Actress ever. You should have seen her. Mom was fantastic.” Heavenlee laughs.
“Thank you very much,” Pam chuckles and curtsies.
All three men are looking at Heavenlee and Pam, confused. Then Al hears something, and he walks over to the window. “That's the tree shredder. I haven’t heard that noise in years. What are Colin and Arc doing? "
Ray laughs, thinking, “All of these years, and he still hasn’t figured everything out.”
Pam, Carlisle, and Heavenlee ignore Al. Heavenlee tells them about the incident at Spa. She didn’t mention that her towel had dropped and that Arc saw her naked. Carlisle wouldn’t be happy about that since he’s the only man who has seen her nude. He would probably have Arc killed, or now that he has shot someone, he might do the deed himself. She didn’t want to take that chance. After all, it was an accident. All three men burst out laughing when she tells them about Pam on the floor.
“We were right. People are watching our asses.” Colin walks into the room. “Now, everyone here needs to be protective. No one leaves here alone.” He looks at Ray and Al. “I mean everyone.”
Arc cut his eyes at Carlisle, then at Heavenlee, thinking. “God, if you don’t answer another prayer, please answer this one. Don’t let Carlisle find out what happened today. He is crazy when it comes to Heavenlee.”
Heavenlee looks at her father. “Were you able to find anything out about the rapists from the football field?”
“Yes, something very interesting. Peter, Randall, and Chappy didn’t have any family. They lived on the streets. The two that we didn’t know were their last names. While Arc and I were waiting for you two in the car, I made several calls. Gregoris and Alban were related to Gig and Cesare. They still have family here. They are assholes but family. Dondre is checking into them now. “ Colin looks at his daughter. “Tomorrow morning, we take it to water.”
She nods her head. “Okay, the water.”
Carlisle is looking confused at Baby and Colin. “The Water”
“Yep, the water.” Colin looks over at Pam.
She's smiling" Sweetheart, you should have seen me. I'll tell you all about it" Pam takes his hands and walk out of the room.
Carlisle is looking at Baby, still wondering about the water. He's about to ask her when their kids run into the room. He decided that he'll wait until they were alone. Carlisle smiles, looking at her, kissing their kids.

A man is pacing. He stops every other minute or so and looks at the door. “Where in the hell are they?” He yells as the door opens. He’s looking at three men, and a woman walks into the room. The man is still looking at the door when the others are sitting down. He turns to look at them. “Where in the hell are Billie and Amoy?”
An older, dark, complexion man looks up at him. “They never came out of the Spa. We saw Heavenlee and Pam come out in towels. We didn’t leave because we were waiting for Amoy and Billie. Lexi went in to check about twenty minutes later. They weren’t there. So that is a puzzle to all of us.”
“s**t. That can only mean one damn thing. That b***h killed them. But what in the hell did she do with their bodies? Maybe I jumped the gun too soon on their asses. Now they will have their damn guards up.” The man is looking at Lexi. “Have you found a way to get into their circle?”
She shook her head. “Nope. All the men are married. I have never seen men so damn faithful as those are in my life. I have thought about Arc since I knew him. But he would be on to me in f*****g minute. Arc isn’t a fool."
The man is looking around the table at everyone. “Even if I don’t have proof, I’m one hundred percent positive that b***h killed my child.” He’s about to say something when his phone rings. He answers it and smirks as he listens. “You caught my attention when you said, Heavenlee Manzo. I’ll be there.” He hangs up and chuckles. “It seems I’m not the only one that wants that b***h’s head."

After taking a long hot bubble bath, Baby and Carlisle walk out of the bathroom naked. The statement Colin said about the water is heavily on his mind. Every time he started to bring it up, she would kiss him or suck his lollipop. Carlisle starts bringing it up more often in the tub. So that Baby would please him. Now that they are going to bed. He decided that this was a perfect time. He turns to look at Baby. She’s on the pole. I Get To Love You by Ruelle is playing.
One look at you
My whole life falls in line
I prayed for you
Before I called you mine
Oh, I can't believe it's true sometimes
Oh, I can't believe it's true
I get to love you
It's the best thing that I'll ever do
I get to love you
It's a promise I'm making to you
He smiles, thinking .”Damn, either I have been good, or she still doesn't want to tell me about that water shit.” He walks over and sits in the chair that is in front of the pole.
One of her legs is around the pole the other leg is pointed upward. Carlisle doesn’t take his eyes off her as she slides down to him. His joystick is in standing up in attention. Baby faces him as she wraps both legs around the pole. When she is close to him, Carlisle can’t stand it anymore, so he stands under her letting her candy land in his mouth. His tongue is moving inside her goodies. Baby moans and unwraps her legs from around the pole. She lays them across his shoulders. “Papi, Papi,” she moans until she comes.
“Oh, Mami, have Papi got something for you.” He slides her body down the pole meeting his hardness until he’s inside of her sweet treat. Carlisle is thrusting her harder and harder. He pulls her down on him as he’s thrusting her harder and faster “Mami, Mami," he moans as they both reach their orgasms. “Oh, Mami, damn,” he whispers on her lips before he kisses her.
Heavenlee wraps her arms around his neck. “Papi,” she moans when he releases her lips.

The next morning Colin, Pam, Jackson, and Ana sit at the kitchen table with the kids and Reno. Mrs. Tibbs has set breakfast on the table. Pam noticed that something was bothering her. Heavenlee and Carlisle walk into the kitchen.
Heavenlee walks over to Mrs. Tibbs. “Where are Ellen and Sarah? I haven’t seen them since earlier yesterday.”
“I’m worried about them. Ellen kept saying they needed some clothes since they would be staying here. I warned them to say here. But they went out the back entrance while the men changed shifts yesterday. I was with Reno doing his lesson for his classes. I had forgotten about them until this morning. I have been calling them. But neither one is answering their phones.” Mrs. Tibbs starts crying.
Heavenlee hugs her. “It’s not your fault. Never forget that you can’t stop grown people from doing anything they want to do” She looks at her father. He's talking on the phone.
Everyone is looking at Colin.
Ana, you and Jackson take the kids to the playroom. Reno, you go with them” Carlisle doesn’t want the kids' innocent ears to hear this conversation. He's not sure how it will turn out.
Jackson is walking behind Cameron, Chloe, and CJ.
“Let me know what happened” Ana has Hailee and Heath's hands walking out of the kitchen, but she's looking at Heavenlee.
She nods her head, but it's still looking at her father. He hangs the phone up. “Since everyone was supposed to be here, I didn’t post any men there. I called Dexter. He and Mac are on their way over there now. "
“Babe, let's eat. It’s nothing we can do until we hear from them.” Heavenlee sits down and taps her fingers. ”Father, have you checked out Samantha, whatever the b***h's last name was, family?”
Colin looks at Carlisle “Battle. I’m digging into her background as we speak.” His phone rings he sees Dexter's name on the screen. “What do you have for me? Okay. See you when you get here. You two watch your backs.” He hangs the phone up.” Sarah and Ellen have been taken. The bastards left Heavenlee a note. Dexter and Mac are bringing it.”
“Fuck.” Carlisle hit the table.
Pam walks over to Mrs. Tibbs to take care of her. She is on the floor because she fainted.
"Something isn't right. What do they want from me? It’s something they want besides me dead.” Heavenlee looks at her father.
He nods his head. “Go change. It’s time to start training.”
Carlisle kisses her and goes to his office to work. Later on, Al, Arc, and Ray walk into his office.
Ray sits in front of the desk and rubs his chin .”Belinda, Sharon, and Cindy are trying to calm the other women. They all are getting restless. The kids are having a field day."
Carlisle sits up in his chair. “s**t, I can imagine. I’m about to go stir-crazy myself. But it’s not much we can do about that right now. Get with Mrs. Tibbs. What the hell am I talking about? Mrs. Tibbs has gone over the deep end. We can’t order out because I don’t trust anyone that is not us. Maybe get your wives to have everyone cook something. Al, you are good on the grill. Find some of the men to help you. This evening we'll do something by the pool. Are Baby and father still training?”
“I think so. I haven’t seen either of them in a while. Your mother is at the pool.” Al is pointing toward the hall.
Carlisle looks at Arc, concerned. “Man, what in the hell is wrong with you? You have been quiet since yesterday.”
Arc shook his head “Nothing. This is just some crazy shit.”
Yeah, I agree” Carlisle walks past him.
Carlisle walks to the pool, looking at his mother. She keeps looking at the pool. Then at her watch. He looks at the pool. Carlisle is wondering what she is doing. “Mother, I went upstairs to the training room, but it was empty. Do you know if father and Baby are still training? If so, where? I don’t like her being out of my sight this long.”
“Yes, son, they are still training.” She points to the pool.
He walks over to the pool and looks in it. He sees Baby doing a roundhouse kick at Colin's two kicking pads on each hand. “What the f**k? Mother, how long have they been under the water?” He’s still looking at Baby and Colin
Pam looks at her watch. “Forty-three minutes this time. Colin said for me to let them know when Mac and Dexter arrive. He sent them on an errand on their way here.
Carlisle sits down. “The water.” He’s looking at the two men walking out the door. “Mother, they're here.”
Pam picks up two towels, walks to the pool, and throws an inflatable ring.
“Mother, why didn't you just get in and let them know?” He looks at her, confused.
“I don’t know. I’m just following instructions.” She shrugs her shoulders and looks at the ring.
At about that time ring flies into the air, and Heavenlee jumps up out of the water where the ring was. She swam up and kicked the ring then she swam toward Pam.
Carlisle gets up and takes a towel from his mother. He wraps it around Baby when she steps out of the pool. He pulls her into him and kisses her forehead. “Baby, are you cold?”
“No, not at all.” She’s smiling, looking at the top of his head. He is squatting down and drying her legs.
Pam is drying Colin off while he reads the note.
Good morning, Heavenlee and Carlisle. I know you two are together as always. I’m making this short and sweet. Just like Heavenlee likes her kills. I have two old hens. Don’t worry. We won’t hurt them. But who will be next?
Bye-bye for now
