Bluegrass-Chapter 24

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Much love to @Statell for making my stories flow.
Previous chapter on AO3
Chapter Twenty-Four
The shop owner bent over his worktable and pried the stones out of the gold setting. The ring was fourteen karat gold and would fetch a nice price. When the bell above the door tinkled, he looked up at a lady coming to the counter. She tossed a large ring on the counter.
βSell or pawn?β
βSell.β
He looked at her and reached for his loop. She looked like a street person so how did she come by this, he wondered. To his amazement the diamonds were real, and the gold tested to eighteen karat. His heart was ramming.
βWhoβd you steal this from lady?β
βItβs mine, you ignorant asshole.β
βSorry, I canβt help you. Try down the street.β
She grabbed the ring and looked at the man with her one good eye. βFuck you.β
He watched her carry her bulk toward the door and waved his hand in the air to chase away her body odor.
The woman tried two more pawn shops and the third was owned by someone with fewer scruples. He bought the ring for one thousand dollars plus a gun. It was a lady Smith and Wesson five-shooter. She grabbed a box of shells on her way out, looking at the man defiantly. He ran to lock his door and start making calls. This ring would sell quickly for ten thousand. If it wasnβt hot, he could ask fifty thousand easily. He flipped open his phone book and started dialing.
The sweaty woman stumbled into Walmart and felt the cool air inside provide a little more energy for the last item she needed. Twenty minutes later she held her new phone to her ear and ordered a taxi to take her to the Motel 6. She paid the driver without a tip and heaved herself out of the car. There were working girls and ugly people all around the place. She would fit right in.
Walking up to the desk, she pulled her shirt down over the roll of fat that bulged from her tight waistband. The clothes she was arrested in were now three sizes too small. Prison food is created to keep hundreds of people full for a few hours. Not much thought went into the caloric intake or a balanced meal. Carbohydrates and fat were the main ingredients of her diet for eleven months and she tipped the scale at two-hundred and fifty pounds. The clothes she wore were donated by the prison and they were cutting her in half.
Pulling her coach wallet out of her bag she pulled her license and scooted it toward the clerk. Ten minutes later she was locking her door and scowling at the traffic noise right outside her window. It would have to do.
She was exhausted. It took all night to get processed out of jail and then shown the door to freedom at five oβclock in the morning. She would sleep a bit and then call her father. He will want her to come home because there was nothing for her in Kentucky. He would put her mother on the phone who would beg and cry for her daughter to come back to Scotland. That could wait as well, she decided.
For eleven months she has thought of little else then Jamie Fraser, the man who stole millions of dollars from her by denying her any rights to the business or his new horse. Word went around the prison that Midnight Runner won the Triple Crown and that meant an extraordinary life was now his to live while she was shipped back to Scotland like yesterdayβs trash. God she hated him.
Isobel laid down on the bed but thinking about Jamie got her so riled up she couldnβt sleep. Maybe a hot shower would help. The rundown hotel had a small mirror in the bathroom, the first clear mirror in eleven months. She looked at her face and tears rolled down her fat cheeks. One of her eyelids opened only a slit after she was punched in the forehead during a prison fight. The nerve damage was permanent. She looked at her hair cut almost to her scalp. A going-away present from the bitches who hated her and kept her in solitary much of the time. She recalled being held on the ground while the meanest of them cut off her hair. It stuck out in all directions and she tried to smooth it down with water, but nothing helped. She was raging inside at what he did to her. This was all his fault.
Isobelβs father kept money on her books, the maximum allowable at the insistence of her mother. Isobel had nothing but disdain for other women making it quite impossible to make friends who could help her. She bargained her commissary for favors and finally found someone with a relative who would look up Chadβs whereabouts. He was in the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville and she wrote to him every day and couldnβt wait to hear back. Months went by with no word and she became hurt, and then mad. She sent another letter and on the outside of the envelope in small letters, she wrote βyou little puke of a man why wonβt you answer me?β She didnβt expect a response and when one came it was short and to the point.
βEnduring your disgusting presence and vomit worthy sex was a means to an end. You self-absorbed cow. You never figured out I was gay because you were busy looking at yourself, with or without a mirror. It made it easy to manipulate you. Happy now?β
That was Jamieβs fault as well, she stormed in her head. He deserves to be skinned alive and forced to watch. She wouldnβt risk him getting the upper hand, so she had to settle for a bullet in his head.
She picked up her purse and left. There was a liquor store on the corner and she needed whisky, and a lot of it.
Claire woke up in an empty bed and noticed a note on her side table. She smiled as she read it.
βIt is a perfect day to sit on the sundeck and read. There is nothin you need to do today, and I wonβt be long with Michael.β
They had purchased a new double-wide ergonomic chase and had not tried it out yet. Maybe they could read the book together. While she waited for Jamie, she chose pages throughout the book to read and was very impressed with Michaelβs writing. The theme running throughout the book was about kindness to the horse through various means, particularly the whip. He advocated the elimination of pain as a motivator. It would change horse racing completely because the competitors would be running because they wanted to win. The horse had to love running and it could be done, according to Michael, but training and reward had to change.
Claire wondered how this book would differ from Noshβs. He was coming to Kentucky the following week and would spend the day with them. She was excited to fulfill her promise to finish her story, whether he believed her or not.
Jamie dropped Michael at his hotel just after noon. He would be joining them for dinner tonight and would UBER back around seven oβclock. Jamie looked forward to an afternoon lounging with his best girl.
For the rest of the day, Jamie and Claire took turns reading the book and powered through half of it before cuddling on the chase to nap a bit.
βSassenach.β Jamie ran his hand down her arm until she opened her eyes. βWill ye come with me to bring the horses in?β
She smiled up at him and nodded yes before pulling her jeans and boots on. They walked to the barn and discussed the book, both commenting on how much they had forgotten about those crazy days. They brought fifteen horses in, two at a time, then went to bring in the mares and babies. Claire laughed at the antics of the foals, running ahead and then freezing with fear when they couldnβt see their mothers. When all were put away for the night, they made one more trip for Runner and Porcelain. When Jamie watched them running to the gate, he looked at Claire with a big smile.
βIβd like to bring Porcelain into season early and breed her in February.β
βTo him?β
It was settled. Porcelain would be Runnerβs first cover and Claire was thrilled. A touch of romance in an otherwise clinical setting of the breeding room. They would be each otherβs first.
As they walked home, Jamie threw up his arms and announced he had finished the repairs on Runnerβs stall, and they could move them back to their larger accommodations. Claire held his hand and told him tomorrow would be soon enough. She had a shower and cooking to do.
It was a delightful time to sit with their old friend, spoil him with steak, roasted vegetables, and copious amounts of whisky. Claire considered inviting others to dinner but decided she didnβt want to share Michaelβs time. They ate at the table outside and simply moved to more comfortable seats to continue the discussion.
Jamie answered the doorbell and spoke to a neighbor before announcing he would be back in ten minutes. The neighbor needed a jump. Michael offered to come and help but Jamie told him to relax, he had this.
Michael had Claire in giggle overload reminding her of times they were on the road. Claire got up to grab the coffee pot and stopped in her tracks.
βMichael, do you smell something burning.β
He stood up and said he smelled it too. When Claire opened the front door, she screamed for Michael. It was definitely a fire and somewhere close. They started running and a quarter-mile never seemed so far. The closer they got; they were more convinced it was the barn on fire. Claire punched numbers into the keypad, and Michael opened the roll away doors as smoke poured out.
βChase them all out, Michael!β
Claire ran down the aisle pulling stall doors open until she got to Runner and Porcelain and they were not moving. None of the horses were running outside. She slapped Porcelain hard on the rump knowing Runner would follow. The mare whinnied loudly and took off for the big doors.
Claire looked at the smoke filling the barn and coughed into her shirt. She saw horses running by but could not see Michael. She continued to work her way down the aisle smacking horses so they would run to safety. She looked up and saw babies running alongside their mothers and knew Michael had gone to the damsβ wing to set them free.
Jamie waved to the neighbor as he drove down their shared road. He caught the scent of burning wood and jumped into the bed of his truck to look for smoke. Finally, he saw the embers rising into the air on his own property! With a hammering heart, he drove through the gate and saw horses scattered all over. He knew someone was at the barn and drove as fast as possible, ever watchful for a horse running across the road.
Jamie ran to the barn. His heart rate was in the stroke zone and he started coughing the second he was inside. He called for Claire as he ran down the aisle looking for any stuck horses. The damsβ wing was empty, where the hell was Claire and Michael? Or whoever let the horses out. He turned the turbines on that pulled air from the interior. They were all over the roof so he ran as fast as he could flipping them on high.
He called the fire department as he ran for Runnerβs wing. The door was open and something inside him told him to proceed with caution. He could hear Claire and Michael coughing. Why were they in there? When he heard Isobelβs voice his blood turned to ice. He forced himself not to cough and give away his presence. He searched frantically for a way to get the drop on her. He had to do something before Claire and Michael died from asphyxiation.
He ran to the back of the barn where the smoke was too thick to see. He ran his hand along the wall until he felt the switches for the turbines. Filling his lungs with air he ran into the equipment room and pulled out a ten-foot length of steel pipe, very relieved it wasnβt burning hot and ran back.
Claire wasnβt coughing any more and Jamie knew she passed out with death coming for her. Without another second to think he rammed the door open and kept running as Isobelβs startled face came into view. She raised the gun just as he rammed the pipe into her stomach, impaling her on the back wall. He threw Claire over his shoulder and helped Michael to his feet pulling them outside to safety.
The fire engines were coming in slowly with no siren because Jamie explained there were horses scattered all over the property. Michael was bent over coughing and Claire was silent, unconscious. Jamie lowered her to the ground feeling more terrified than he had been in his life.
βClaire! Claire!β
The EMTβs pulled him away to render lifesaving aid to his wife, his soulmate, his whole world. Fire hydrants were installed on the land according to zoning rules and the men soon had two flows of water directed at the fire. Jamie heard more sirens coming only to go silent as they negotiated the gate and keypad.
The ambulance EMTβs were given instructions to open the gate and wait for it to close to make sure no horses escaped. The driver knew there were critical injuries and it took all his training and willpower not to barrel ahead to the injured. Jamie was covered with soot and sweat as he gripped his wifeβs hand.
βPlease Claire, ye must fight yer way back to me or I will surely die with ye.β
He was pulled away as they wheeled the gurney into the ambulance, Michael was loaded into a second vehicle. Jamie sank to his knees as a great crash came from the barn and a plume of embers rose into the night sky. Jamie didnβt flinch. He couldnβt move as he was locked into his pleading prayers to God.
A great fireball exploded into the dark sky and men were yelling about a secondary fire. Jamie heard none of it and continued to pray.
The captain pulled Jamie up and brought him under the light spreading out a schematic of the barn interior.
βIs there anyone else in the building?β
Jamie pointed to Runnerβs wing. The fire captain pulled him to the large engine and told him to sit down. The huge fire engines took up all the space available in front of the barn and police cruisers were lined up behind them. Officers were standing by a short distance away and the captain went to speak with them.
Jamie felt the tears fall off his face, he knew his business was in ruins, his prize horse chased into the darkness, but none of that mattered as much as Claireβs pale, soot-stained face. He looked up at the commanding voice above him and stared at the officer with blank eyes.
βYou identified an area where someone was left inside. I am sorry to inform you that the roof caved in above that wing about five minutes ago. Did anyone go back inside to pull the person out?β
βNo. I impaled her against the wall with a ten-foot length of steel pipe.β
Jamie stood up and walked toward his vehicle but never made it. It took five officers to hold him back and he was finally cuffed and dropped into a cruiser. He had no comprehension of what was happening, and he fought against the restraints until he felt a blinding pain as his wrist separated. He slumped forward choking through this added suffering.
βMister Fraser! Stop struggling I have news of your wife. She is in intensive care, so is the other man, but they are expected to pull through. They are gonna be fine. You have confessed to a capital crime. You belong to the Lexington police force now so you might as well cooperate and sit still. Youβre a big man and tasers hurt, so walk when youβre told, sit where youβre told and answer our questions. Itβs the best advice I can give you.β
Jamie did as told and explained who Isobel was, how she tried to kill his horses before. He did not know she was released on parole. She had set fire to the barn and held Claire and Michael at gunpoint as they slowly choked to death in front of her. She wore an elaborate gas mask and just stood by as they struggled to breathe. She had raised her gun to Jamieβs head as he rammed the pipe into her stomach. He did not bother to go back in to save her because he was too busy with his wife and friend.
βI didnβt know if she was alive or dead. I didnβt care.β
Jamie was a pillar of the community and the officers made quick work of releasing him with the warning to not leave the state. There was an officer waiting to take him to the hospital. Jamie sat in the back seat holding his throbbing wrist. The officer decided to break the rules for the poor man and turned on his siren as he raced to the hospital.
Jamie piled out of the car and ran into the emergency department. He approached Claire slowly with tears streaking through the grime on his face. He was so overcome at the sight of her his whole body started to shake.
The nurse taking her blood pressure almost fainted at the sight of Jamie but recovered quickly as his face softened looking at his wife.
βShe has been asking for you if your name is Jamie that is.β She had a warm smile and a concerned face.
βIt isβ¦ my name is Jamie.β
The nurse ran for the chair that was shared among the visitors because it looked like he would fall any minute. She pushed Jamie into it and asked if he was alright.
βAs soon as this lass opens her eyes, I will be fine.β
βShe is doing really well physically. Her doctor may keep her tonight, not sure yet.β
Jamie looked down at Claireβs open eyes, looking at him. She seemed to look at everything she could see and then he watched her dissolve in tears. She was fighting to stop crying but she just couldnβt. She tried to speak to him, but no sound came out.
βHer voice will come back. Two or three days.β
Claire was asleep again and Jamie felt lost suddenly. She just closed her eyes to the pain that was making her cry, leaving Jamie alone. He picked up the phone and called Jason, then Angus. He knew he had to leave her and get back to what was left of their barn. He kissed her face and walked toward the entrance, there lingering at the doorway was the officer who drove him to the hospital.
βMister Fraser, I waited to take you home, sir.β
Jamie looked battle-scarred and fatigued at the moment, so they headed for his home without further comment. The fire was out, and firemen continued to crawl through the haylofts and roof structure looking for live embers. They had done an excellent job limiting the damage. The fire marshal approached Jaime and shook his hand. His voice was commanding yet tempered with understanding that Jamie appreciated.
βMister Fraser, itβs a tragedy to be sure, but we minimized the damage and found all the clues, I think. The fire was set on the north-facing side, right here.β He pointed to Runnerβs wing on the barn schematic. Gasoline was used as an accelerant that was provided by your fuel tower. The perpetrator used your five-gallon buckets that were stacked at the hose in back, filled them with your fuel, and left the nozzle open to drain the fuel into the ground. When embers landed there it all went up in a fireball. You will have an ugly reminder for a while Iβm afraid. Itβs safe to bring the horses in except for this area. The roof caved in and itβs burned badly. It is where we found the body of a woman, but I hear you have given a statement to the police already and believe her to be responsible. The coroner has removed the body. I will be in touch as the investigation progresses. He walked toward his vehicle throwing his clipboard on the seat before getting in.
Jamie looked around feeling lost until he saw Rupert and Angus walk out of the barn with two leads each and lariats attached to their belt loops. They looked at Jamieβs haunted eyes and simply nodded as they made their way to the pastures. The horses were tied to a fence once caught so they could be identified and counted. Jason and Lulu pulled up looking shell shocked. Lulu was crying and asking about Claire. Jason ran to the barn for halters and leads and handed a lead to Lulu as they left to search for more horses.
Molly and her fiancΓ© were next, followed by two of the vets that Claire had befriended. They would check the horses that were brought in and treat any issues. As word spread, neighbors and owners came in to join the search and by afternoon, all but two horses had been rounded up. The missing horses, Porcelain and Runner.
The horses were split up into groups and led to graze in the multiple pastures. They would stay outside for the day and let the barn air out. Jamie continued to call Claire, to say I love you and give progress reports. Jamieβs voice cracked when he said they had not found Runner or Porcelain and Claire sobbed for the lost horses but mostly for Jamie. Michael had fared better and was released to rest in his hotel room. Jamie wandered through the pastures calling for Runner until dark.
Jamie stayed with Claire overnight. She was moved out of critical care and there was a fat Lazyboy right next to the bed. He had full trust in his crew, so he stayed until she was released the next day. She mostly cried when she was awake, and Jamie couldnβt wait until he could hold her and give her comfort.
Driving into the compound was very hard on Claire as visions of Isobel taunting her, saying she would shoot Jamie in front of her and then let them die, came back to haunt her. Jamie explained that he had killed Isobel, but Claire expected her to jump out from every corner.
Claire couldnβt yell for Runner, but she insisted on walking the far pastures to help look for him. To no avail, the two of them were gone. Jamie held Claire through the night, waking up every few hours because she was crying and shaking. He eased her back to sleep much quicker than he was able to follow her. By the next day, he had deep circles under his eyes as he drove the property in search of his horses.
The other horses were returned to the barn, back in their original stalls because there was very little damage to anything but Runnerβs wing. Jamie shivered to think he wanted to go back to the barn and move Runner and Porcelain back to their original stalls. He closed the wing off with plans to rebuild once the insurance was settled. Not one of the owners moved their horse to another barn. They knew Jamie was honest and ethical. This was not his fault and he had taken care of the problem.
Jamie sat down hard on his office chair in the early evening. The silence was such a relief after playing hero for the past two days. He wasnβt a hero. He was terrified about what could have happened and what will happen next. Could his business recover, could Claire feel safe again, could they find a new normal without Runner? Picking up his ringing phone he heard the deep voice of Dunsany, and he lost it.
βJamie, it's going to be alright. You arenβt hurt, you will repair the damage and go on. Now listen to me son, get it out, and then get back to work. Thatβs a good lad, Iβm here for ye, depend on that.β
Dunsany waited, speaking quietly to encourage Jamie, trying to infuse him with the will to start over. They talked for almost an hour and Dunsany told him arrangements had been made to bring Isobelβs body back to Scotland. She could never threaten them again. The older man worried deeply about Jamie pulling out of this nightmare and his anger at Isobel kept him secluded from his family for several days. It wasnβt right for a father to hate his own daughter and he would keep that to himself.
Jamie walked the pastures as the sun was coming up. He had a distinctive whistle that all the horses were used to. It always brought them in, no matter how far they had roamed. He heard a whinny and turned his head, heart beating like thunder in his chest he watched the pasture turning in all directions and finally saw her. Porcelain ran toward him crying out her fear in loud whinnies. She came to him and snorted while he slipped the halter on her and snapped a lead. He started walking back expecting Runner to run up on them any second. When he closed the door to Porcelainβs stall, he dropped his head in defeat.
βWhere have ye gone laddie?β
Jason, Lulu, Rupert and Angus put the barn back together, ordered supplies, rented stalls, answered calls from worried owners, and assisted whoever and whatever was needed in the moment. Their fearless leader searched for Runner day and night and Claire was not often seen. She looked shattered and they didnβt know how to approach her, so they didnβt.
Michael came on the fourth day and took Claire to drive the property boundaries. Claire searched the pastures through field glasses as they continued to drive for two hours. He was just gone. He jumped a fence and just kept running she assumed. There were thousands of acres of forest that bordered their land and he was lost in that forest somewhere, starving to death. Claireβs sobbing broke Michaelβs heart. He stopped the car and pulled her out to hold her to him. He promised her they would find him.
βWe need to walk the land, Claire. Heβs scared and hiding somewhere in the trees. Let him see us walking.β He pushed a lead in her hand, and they ducked between the white slats of the fence to walk the endless acres of Bluegrass.
Runner watched them from behind the trees. He watched her mostly and wanted to go to her. He could hear in her yell, something foreboding and fearful. If she would just get on his back, he could ride her to safety. He tried a couple of times to break out of the tree line, only to retreat in fear. They were getting closer to him. He was about to turn toward the forest and run but he saw images in his mind of Claire hugging him. It made him so happy. She was telling him she needed a hug. In the next second, he bolted toward the fence boundary and jumped it with ease running toward her, happier than he had ever been.
βStop Claire. Turn around.β
Claire turned to see Runner galloping toward them. She started to giggle and then she held her arms out like she always did, for him to run into. He stopped ten feet from her and showed her images of being hugged. She kept her arms out and walked to him until she could wrap them around his neck. She put her hands on his cheeks and Michael could swear they were having a conversation as Runner would nicker at times and drop his head on her shoulder.
Are you hurt?
I do not hurt.
Where you afraid?
I was afraid.
She kissed his face a dozen times and asked him to walk back to the barn, assuring him the smoke was gone and he would be safe. She dug a handful of sugar cubes out of her pocket and he feasted on them.
Very hungry.
Letβs go home.
Michael called Jamie to tell him they were walking back, with Runner, and he started running to meet them. Runner nickered and lifted his head when he saw Jamie running toward them. Claire unsnapped the lead and Runner took off stopping right in front of Jamieβs beaming smile. They were still hugging when Claire and Michael caught up to them.
Porcelain whinnied loudly in the air and stomped all over her stall. Rupert looked at her and wondered what got into the lass when he saw the movement in his peripheral vision. He was almost in tears when he saw the three of them with a giant black horse behind them. Runner went to Porcelain for a make-out session and Claire could see images of Rupert pouring grain into his feeder. She laughed quietly to herself.
βCheeky bastard.β
They said goodbye to Michael at the airport and made him promise to visit soon. Claire hugged him and cried while Michael complained she would surely melt with any more tears. Once on the road home, Claire leaned against Jamie and wrapped her arm around his middle. They had not made love since the fire and the feel of him was suddenly intoxicating. She kissed his neck until she was breathless and when she pulled his belt away and grabbed his zipper Jamie pulled onto a logging road into the forest where he pulled her to him and kissed her deeply.
They were frantic to join their hungry bodies after a long hiatus from passion. Jamie pulled her shirt over her head and reached around to unclasp her bra setting her breasts free to bounce with their efforts. When she finally pulled him into her body, they both moaned loudly before the rhythm of arousal took them to a new plane of existence.
Officer Josh Baker was heading back to the station while he daydreamed in heavy traffic. When he saw Jamieβs pickup truck veer off the road, he shook his head and blinked several times. It couldnβt be, he told himself. What are the odds of finding them in the same predicament as before? Some people never learn he thought. He pulled off onto the logging road to wait.
Traffic along the four lanes where Jamie took the detour slowed way down due to the cruiser parked along the side of the road, presumably for radar speed checking. The officer pointed his radar gun out the window and waited. When he heard Jamieβs engine start he pulled into traffic, and they were none the wiser about his protection.
Slowly, life at Highland Brothers returned to normal and Jason, the new custodian of Claire's truck, would pick her up for a day of medical treatments and do his best to remember any of the details when she asked him. On long rides she would describe the lab assays they would run to get him used to the terminology and procedure. From February to June, she would reduce her hours away to ten hours per week so she could take care of the breeding operation. She was anxious to be working with Jamie again.
Claire sat across from Nosh at the kitchen table and looked at the sheets of pictures. There had to be at least five-hundred pictures of her and runner. She answered Noshβs questions thoughtfully and held nothing back. Nosh recovered quickly from the declaration that she can talk to animals. He always knew there was a major component of the story missing.
βI have wondered how an untrained jockey could ride that horse through all those races.β
βIt was my yoga training. My balance was very good and if you hadnβt noticed, I didnβt move at all, once the race started, I just hung on to is mane for dear life. He told me what to do, when to do it, and I felt safe after a while.β
βHow could he hear you during the race, thereβs too much noise?β
βAre you saying you believe me?β
βYou are an educated woman Claire, a veterinarian, and you won the Triple Crown as a novice jockey. Iβve been on the track all my adult life, so I knew there was a secret to your success. What I wouldnβt give for photo evidence of you racing him on foot.β
βOh! I have photo evidence. Jamie took loads of pictures from the equipment barn where he hid for the first month. They are amateur at best, but I will be happy to show you..β
Nosh was on his feet in seconds, βplease, yes I would love to see them.β
Claire settled Nosh in a chair close to the computer monitor and brought up the pictures. There was a perfect sequence of them at the starting line, Claire running full speed around the track, and Runner staying on the rail to pass her. Claire bent over panting and Runner circling her with his head and tail in the air. In the last picture, Claire is scowling at the horse with her hands in the air.
Nosh laughed so hard and sputtered βpure gold!β when he could catch a breath. βGood God, I havenβt laughed like that since I was a kid. Name your price, Iβm sure the magazine will pay it.β
βCertainly not! You can have them with my thanks.β
This was the icing on the cake to Nosh. The book he had dreamed of for the last year would be better than he could have imagined.
Claire told Nosh everything from cutting Runner out of his dam to winning the Triple Crown and all the baiting and psychological tricks she used to keep him wanting to win. The story was told, and she sat back and took a deep breath.
βHow would you like to spend some time with Runner?β
They walked out to the pasture and the two horses made a bee-line for them. Claire stood in front of Nosh and opened her arms for two frothy-mouthed horses to assault her with smells and snorts. She stepped aside pulling her phone out of her pocket and launching the camera app. Nosh seemed frozen as he watched Runner come toward him. Claire moved farther away and started snapping pictures. Nosh, nose to nose with Runner, the colt draping his head over Noshβs shoulder from behind, stroking his neck, laughing at the assault on his pockets looking for treats. Claire kept snapping until she had sixty-five pictures of Nosh and Runner. She would transfer all the pictures of Runner including these to a thumb drive and send it to Nosh. It made her happy inside to give something back.
Claire walked the reporter out to his rental car and hugged him, thanking him for everything. Nosh saw no reason they might meet again so he made his words count.
βYou feel like the daughter I never had. I am so proud of what youβve done. If your actions with Runner are any indication of motherhood, I hope to live long enough to see your kids cure cancer and win the Nobel prize. Goodbye Claire, and thank you for the interview.β
Motherhood? What an odd thing to say, she decided and waved goodbye.
Claire walked back into the house feeling her mood turn dark when she looked at the ugly furniture she and Jamie had failed to replace. She wished for a happy feeling when she opened the door to their home and hated this furniture even more after the fire. A call to the Salvation Army to pick up a high-end living room set pushed her to the front of the line. They would pick it up this afternoon. When the living room was empty, she called Jamie and asked if he could finish early because there wasnβt a chair or couch to sit on anymore. They needed to visit the furniture stores in town.
Claire got dressed up with straight hair and makeup because it felt like a special trip, something to be remembered. They would finally take ownership of their space and rid the memory of the most heinous woman on earth. With only one week until Christmas, she was excited.
Jamie watched a beautiful, confident woman walk toward him when he came home. He looked at her long pretty hair, short dress, and high heels, feeling his stomach do flips.
βYer beautiful Sassenach, and our living room is empty sure enough.β
βYou have ten minutes James Fraser.β

Skip To My Lou, My Darling - Chapter 4, Hunted Hunter II

We made it to a motel outside Seward, and checked in to a room with twin beds and a pull-out couch. The woman at the reception gave me a hard look, as if she was seriously judging my life choices. As it was, I was questioning them myself.
Having taken small roads, it was well past time for lunch, and Deanβs eyes lit up when he noticed a combined bar and restaurant across the street from the motel. Inside, a young waitress pulled her shoulders back to perk out her chest, when she saw Sam and Dean enter. Clearly not having counted on me being with them, she almost seemed surprised when I followed them all to a booth in a corner; sitting myself beside Sam, with Dean across from us. Giving me a dissatisfied look; she quickly turned on a sweet smile, and pulled out a pad. βWhat can I get you guys?β, she asked. βWhatβs the biggest burger you have?β, Dean smiled. βThatβd be our XXL-Whomperβ, the waitress said. βGive me that with fries. And a beer. Whatever you have on tapβ, he winked at her. She seemed enthralled by his gesture, and I didnβt blame her.
After taking Samβs order of a salad and a diet coke, the girl turned to me. βAnd the lady?β, she said; her smile not reaching her eyes. βCheeseburger and jalapeΓ±o poppers. Ranch on the sideβ, I muttered. βTo drink?β. I considered ordering a row of shots, but halted myself. βBudβ¦ or whatever you haveβ. βComing right upβ, the waitress smiled at Dean.
I looked towards the bar, where a tired looking tender was taking orders from truckers. βConsidering a dance?β, Dean smirked. βSeriously, I could give you boost, and get you right up thereβ. βMaybe laterβ, I grumbled. I shifted in my seat. βI need clothesβ. Dean shrugged. βYouβre dressedβ, he said, and looked over my outfit, consisting of my least favorite jeans β they were too tight β and t-shirt, under my jacket. βI didnβt exactly bring a spare set of underwear, when you kidnapped meβ, I said. βAnd I donβt have any money either, so Iβm thinking that laundromat we passed might be my next stop. Must be something I can snatch upβ.
The waitress sauntered back towards us with our drinks; swaying her hips as much as possible. She set down the drink; leaning forward to give Dean full view of her assets β ignoring Sam and me completely. I supposed this was because we sat next to each other, and she thought Dean was available. Which he is, I reminded myself.
βYou canβt go alone. And you donβt need to stealβ, Sam said quietly, as the waitress walked away. βWe have cashβ, Dean said, and took a sip of his beer. I shook my head. βI canβt take your moneyβ, I muttered. Dean smirked, and pushed a black purse across the table. βI snatched the other meβs wallet, while you were busy grabbing your jacketβ, he said. βHe wonβt miss itβ. I frowned. βIs he dead? The guy heβs possessing, that looks like you?β. Sam shook his head. βThey donβt possess people, they become themβ¦ sort ofβ. βAnd they donβt die easilyβ¦ We havenβt figured out how to gank them yetβ.
I raised my brows into a worried expression. βThat sounds disconcertingβ, I said. Sam smiled at me. βWe just have to steer clear of them for nowβ, he said. Dean reached out and took my hand. βYouβre gonna be fine, Louβ. I snatched my hand back, a bit more abruptly than I had planned. Dean narrowed his eyes for a second. βIβll check out the second-hand store down the street, thenβ, I said. βAnd the Walmart. Iβm not wearing other peopleβs underwearβ. Sam chuckled.
βHow did you guys know to come get me?β, I asked, and took a sip from my beer. βWe know a guy with a computerβ, Dean smirked. βApparently Sammy decided to ask him to keep track of youβ. I shook my head. βNo, that was Bobbyβ. Dean narrowed his eyes at me. βHuhβ¦ Well, he must have kept it up after Bobby died, because he called us. Said there were irregularities on your accounts. Like they had been logged into from a different computer, than the one youβd usually useβ. I frowned. βThatβs enough to have you kick down my door?β, I muttered. Sam shrugged. βThese days, yeah. The leviathans have been tracking all our fake cards and movementsβ. βItβs why weβre stuck driving that suburban-mom nightmare out thereβ, Dean grunted with distaste in his voice. βI miss my babyβ¦β. Sam rolled his eyes. βWe figured theyβd be coming for you as soon as they could find you. Maybe change into you, and get to us like thatβ.
βSo, what happens now?β, I asked. βYouβre still working a case. Ghosts donβt quit because leviathans decide to go on a rampageβ. βWe set you up in the motel; and then Sam and me go talk to the widow of the electrocuted guyβ. Sam clenched his jaw. βWe should probably take Lulu with usβ, he muttered. βAs long as we donβt know if theyβre still on her trail, sheβs safer around usβ. Dean looked at his brother incredulously. βHunting? Noβ, he said; and looked up at the waitress who was returning with our order. βThank youβ, he smiled at her; making the girl blush.
Once she was gone, Sam leaned in over the table. βItβs not hunting. Itβsβ¦ groundworkβ, he said quietly. βWhen was the last time groundwork turned out to just be groundwork for us, Sammy?β, Dean grunted. βItβs never safe out thereβ. βYou think Iβll be better of in a motel room, on my own?β, I muttered. Dean smiled at me. βYou have that .45 and your angel sword. That wallet I gave you has quarters for the magic-fingers. Knock yourself out!β. He took a big bite of his burger.
---
Two hours later we pulled up at a generic looking house, with a white picket fence. In the back of the car stood a bag of fresh clothes for me β but at the moment, I was wearing a black t-shirt, slacks and a grey blazer.
βThis is so stupid, Sam. She should not be here!β, Dean grumbled. βShe can hear you; and sheβd prefer it if you didnβt treat her like a childβ, I sneered. He turned and looked at me; his eyes ablaze, and the red stripes on his tie matching the redness of his flushed cheeks. βYou, stay in the carβ, he said menacingly. βNopeβ, I smiled. He cursed below his breath, and got out of the car; Sam following him, after having given me an apologetic look.
I tried to open my own door, but couldnβt. βChild safety lockβ, Dean called; before slamming his door shut. βOh, come on!β, I yelled angrily. Dean waved at me, and walked up the small path to the house.
I rolled down my window, and put my arm out of it; opening the car from the outside. When he heard the door slam, Dean turned around, and gave me a frustrated look. Sam simply stifled a grin. βShut itβ, Dean grunted; as I joined them in front of the door.
Sam rang the doorbell, and a slight mousy looking woman opened the door. βYes?β, she said. βMrs. Harper?β, Dean said. βMy name is Mick Green; and this is my partner β Doug Sandom. Weβre with the insurance companyβ. The woman frowned. βI already talked to you people earlier this weekβ, she muttered, and began to close the door. βMaβam, this is just to cross the tβs and dot the iβsβ, Sam said; going full puppy dog in his expression.
The woman looked towards me. Dean clenched his jaw. βThis is ourβ¦ traineeβ¦β, he muttered. βJoan Larkin, maβam. Iβm so sorry for your lossβ. I stretched out my hand to shake hers. βPlease, weβll only take a moment of your timeβ. I smiled softly at her. She looked tired and sad, and I felt sorry for her. She stepped aside. βPlease, come inβ.
After some preliminary pleasantries, Mrs. Harper went into the kitchen for some drinks. βShe has hairβ, I whispered smilingly, from my seat between the brothers. Dean rolled his eyes.
Once the woman was seated in front of us, Sam smiled comfortingly at her. βI understand this is a difficult time, maβam. We just need to clear up some thingsβ. βThen β after β will you pay out his life insurance?β, Mrs. Harper asked. Dean smiled. βWeβll try to get things in motionβ, he lied.
βNow, your husband died in the bathtub, as I understand?β, Sam said. The widow nodded. βIt was the weirdest thing. One moment Iβm grabbing him a towel in the hallway, and the next, heβs screaming bloody murderβ¦ and then everything smelled like boiled hamβ. I winced for a second. Dean looked at me, and cleared his throat. βAndβ¦ there was a toaster in the water?β Mrs. Harper nodded.
I looked over the room. There were numerous pictures of the woman herself alongside a burly looking man with a receding hairline. The widow took a handkerchief from her pocket, and patted her tear stained cheeks. βI know what this looks like. The police came by, and even they thoughtβ¦β. Sam took a deep breath. βMaβam, itβs not our place to judge; but were you and your husband having any issues? You mentioned your life insuranceβ, he asked softly. Mrs. Harpers eyes widened. βNo! Not like that. We needed money, but I would neverβ¦β, the woman sobbed. βRob was my worldβ. She blew her nose fiercely.
βHave you noticed anything weird around the house?β, Dean asked; his voice dark. βAnyβ¦ cold spots?β. Mrs. Harper frowned. βWhy would there be cold spots?β. Dean seemed surprised by the question. βWell, Iβ¦β. βItβs a normal insurance question, maβamβ, I intruded. βCold spots may indicate electrical issues in the wallsβ. The womanβs eyes widened. βReally?β, she gasped. βYeah, really?β, Dean muttered. I stepped on his foot. The woman looked around her, and shrugged. βI-i donβt think soβ, she said.
βMay I use your facilities, Mrs. Harper?β, Sam smiled. The woman shrugged. βThereβs only the one upstairs; where Robβ¦β. She sighed. βGo aheadβ. Dean downed his glass of water. βDo you mind?β, he smiled, handing Mrs. Harper the glass. βItβs been a long driveβ. She nodded, and went into the kitchen, leaving Dean and me alone in the room.
βYou, donβt talk!β, he hissed at me. I made a huffing sound. βI saved your ass. Just like when you were in Yanktonβ. He looked straight into my eyes menacingly. βJust, keep your mouth closedβ, he muttered. I narrowed my eyes at him, and smirked. βThen, give it something better to doβ, I whispered.
I only realized what Iβd said, when Deans eyes widened, and his lips parted. βIβll go wait in the carβ, I croaked, and left the house as swiftly as I could.
I leant against the car, and took a deep breath. I hadnβt meant to say what I had β or maybe I had. Dean had talked about choosing to be together or not; but I didnβt know if he meant it, or felt compelled to mean it.
A few moments later, the brothers joined me outside; Sam looking questioningly at my flushed face. βYou ok?β, he muttered. βIβm fineβ, I whispered. Dean looked everywhere but at me. βLuluβ¦β, Sam began. βShe said sheβs fine. Letβs goβ, Dean grumbled.
---
Back at the motel, I grabbed some clean clothes; and sprang for the bathroom β getting into the shower. I turned on the cold water, and let it flow over my body, as I took deep breaths to calm myself. I felt so embarrassed.
When I met Dean, I was a kid, just out of college; working my first adult job. Even as I had stood in front of him then, Iβd felt a deep connection β one that seemed important, and older than time. Two years later, when heβd informed me that angels had put us together β and not true emotion β Iβd been destroyed. Iβd even decided that I didnβt care; that I wanted him in my life. But heβd made it clear the he believed what we had wasnβt real β and we shouldnβt be together. And Iβd moved on β at least Iβd told myself that I had. Now he was in my life again, not only as my protector; but also with the door to his heart ajar β as if he wanted me to step inside again.
But I didnβt know if I wanted him. Not truly anyway. Because if it wasnβt real, what was the point? But then, why did I flirt with him?, I asked myself. And in such a juvenile way?. I put my hands against the wall, leaning my forehead to the cold tile.
There was a knock on the door. βLou, donβt use up all the hot waterβ, Dean grunted from the other side. βTaking a cold showerβ, I called back. Crap! Shut up!, I told myself. βSoundsβ¦ refreshing. Samβs grabbing dinnerβ. βOk. Iβll be right outβ, I croaked.
I got dressed in clean underwear, a tank top, and a pair of comfortable sweatpants; which made me look frumpy enough to be comfortable with being in a room with Dean alone. I stepped outside, and began drying my hair with a towel.
βSorry I was riding you so hardβ, Dean said quietly. I forced myself not to think up any jokes about riding. βI get itβ, I muttered. βYouβre the professionalsβ. I added the s to make the sentence about both of them, and not just him. He nodded. βYeahβ¦ You did good thoughβ. βI didnβt say a lotβ, I whispered. βNo, but you did get me out of a tricky questionβ, he admitted. βCaught me off guard, is allβ. βSorryβ, I said.
He sat down next to me: βIβm trying to say thank youβ, he muttered. βWelcomeβ, I whispered. βWhen is Sam back?β. Dean shrugged disinterestedly. βHe went for Chinese. Hope thatβs okβ. βItβs fineβ, I said, and stood up to hang the towel over a chair.
I heard him stand up behind me. βLouβ¦ are you uncomfortable being alone with me?β, Dean breathed. I didnβt know what to say; but turned half way around, and looked at him from the corner of my eye. βIβm not gonnaβ¦ do anythingβ, he said. βUnless you want me toβ, he added with a nervous smirk.
I sighed. βLookβ¦ What you said back on that roadβ¦ It was just a lotβ, I said. βI knowβ, he muttered. βBut I meant it. I need you to know thatβ. βDeanβ¦ I donβt know what to do with that informationβ, I responded. βYou told me what we had wasnβt real. And I didnβt careβ¦ for the longest time, I just didnβt care. Even after Peteβ¦β. His expression grew sad. βBut?β. I chewed my lip. βYou didnβt come back for me. And I didnβt really have any way to get into contact with you. Bobby wasnβt exactly forthcoming with your whereabouts while you were withβ¦ Lisaβ. He looked down. βShe and Benβ¦ they picked me up from the ground. Helped me regain sanity againβ, he said. βBut they were never mine. And I wasnβt theirsβ.
Our eyes met, and his lips parted. I wanted to run into his arms β and I wanted to run out of the door. βBecause of meβ¦β, I whispered. βYeahβ¦ because of youβ. I took in a stuttering breath. βBecause I was made for you. Forced upon youβ. He shook his head in frustration. βNo, Louβ¦β. βThatβs what you saidβ, I breathed. βThe perfect mate, right? All I need to do now, is wait for Michael to gain entry; and then get to the business of popping out a few Nephilim, isnβt that it?β. βWhatβs a Nephilim?β, Dean grunted. I shook my head. βRead a bookβ, I muttered.
Dean clenched his jaw, and put his hands on the back of one of the chairs, leaning against it. His whole body was tense; and everything inside me screamed for me to take him in my arms, and comfort him. βIβm sorry, I shouldnβt have said that. I know youβd never say yesβ. He shook his head. βItβs fineβ¦ Itβs in the pastβ.
He ran his thumb over his lower lip, and chuckled to himself. βIf someone had told me a year ago, Iβd be alone in a room with you like this, I would have slapped them sillyβ¦β. βWhy?β, I half smiled. He took a step towards me. βBecause I wanted to forget youβ, he said; letting go of the chair. βUp until Fateβ. βWhen you found out you still had free willβ, I whispered. βAnd what do you want to do with it?β.
He looked at me with warm eyes. They spoke of us, together. βOhβ¦β, I muttered. βYou donβtβ¦β, he said grimly, and looked down again. βI donβt know what I want. Iβmβ¦ confusedβ, I admitted. βI want something realβ¦ Even if I choose you; is it really a choice? If I was made to feel the things I do?β. He nodded. βI get itβ¦ Itβs was I was thinking back thenβ, he said. βBut you do feel itβ¦ donβt you?β. βYesβ¦β, I whispered. βI just wish I believed it was realβ.
He stepped over to me, and placed his hand on my cheek. I leant into it, and closed my eyes as his thumbs gently stroked my temple. I put my hand on his chest, and he leaned his forehead to mine. βPlease believeβ, he whispered through slightly parted lips. I tilted my head slightly upwards, and felt his warm breath against my face, just before his lips brushed mine. I drew in a short breath, and closed my eyes as we pressed our lips together; as in quiet understanding, that this was the time.
Deans arm snaked around my waist, and he pulled me close, and I felt him smile against my lips. I screamed at myself to accept it. Accept that what was happening between us was real emotion β true feelings β but his words from years before still rang in my head. Itβs too perfectβ¦ Youβre like made for meβ¦
I pulled back. βIβm sorryβ, I whispered. βI canβtβ. He instantly stepped away from me, giving me space. βIβm so sorryβ, I croaked.
Sam stepped through the door with a large paper bag. βHey. Got foodβ, he smiled. I slid on my boots, and grabbed my coat. βI need some airβ, I muttered, and walked out the door, closing it behind me.
---
I walked down the road; avoiding the streetlights as if they were spotlights searching for me. βCassβ¦ if youβre out thereβ¦ Please help me. I need to know the truthβ, I whimpered to myself. As Iβd expected, no angel came to my rescue. I was alone β and by choice.
My phone rang in my pocket. I looked at the screen, before picking up the call. βPeteβ¦β, I croaked. βHey, Luluβ¦ You sound sadβ, he said. βWhatβs wrong?β. βIβmβ¦ I donβt know. I missβ¦β. I didnβt know what to say. Bobby. Castiel. Dean. βI know, I miss you tooβ, Pete breathed. βWhere are you?β. βNebraskaβ, I said. βI didnβt know you had family in Nebraska?β, he said. βI donβt haveβ¦β, I began. βA lot of family, I knowβ, Pete said. βYou donβt really have any family; do youβ¦? Youβre all alone in the worldβ. I shook my head, and stopped just before a ring of light under a street lamp. βWhat are you talking about?β, I said. βWho really cares about you, Lou?β. His voice became deeper β more gravely. It was Deans voice now. βNo one really loves you. Not with their own free will, anywayβ¦β. My breath hitched. βWho is this?β, I asked. βSomeone who knows the truthβ¦ Your purpose in life. To belong to someone elseβ¦ not truly your own. Do you think he would choose you if he wasnβt compelled to?β. βI-i donβtβ¦β, I whimpered; tears beginning to stream down my cheeks. βAre you cryingβ¦? Of course, you are. Itβs hard hearing the truth. I know what he really feels. He wishes he didnβt want you. He knows heβd never care if he wasnβt forced toβ. βWhy are you saying these things?β, I croaked. βTo keep you on the line, so we can track your phoneβ¦β.
I hung up, and threw my phone down on the road; stomping on it until it broke into pieces.
I ran back towards the motel; seeing the station wagon driving towards me. It halted a few yards from me, and Sam sprang out of the driverβs seat. βLulu!β, he yelled. βYou canβt run off like that. Itβs not safeβ¦β. βThey tracked my phone. Theyβre coming for us!β, I yelled, and threw myself into the passengerβs seat. Sam sprang in after me, and drove back to the motel.
Inside the room, Dean was seated on one of the beds, drinking from a bottle of beer. When he saw me, his eyes instantly diverted. βPack up. They tracked usβ, Sam growled. Dean jumped up from the bed, and grabbed his things. I snatched my new second hand backpack β filled with my new and old clothes β and all three of us ran out the door.
βCall Garth. Have him take over the case hereβ, Dean growled. βWe go westβ. βWhere?β, Sam asked, as we were all seated in the car. Dean started the engine. βSan Franciscoβ, he grunted; sending me a look in the mirror. It was just a second, but his eyes spoke a thousand words; some of which I knew where Iβm sorry. Youβll never have to see me again. He sped down the road, and out of town.
I closed my eyes, and sighed. βJust get me to a bus stationβ, I said. Sam turned to look at me. βLulu, no! We canβt do thatβ, he retorted. βIβll be fine. Stay out of sightβ¦ I know the dealβ, I grunted. Sam shook his head. βLook, weβll find somewhere else. Go on lockdownβ¦β. βTheyβre using me to get to you!β, I yelled. βIβm no safer with you than anywhere else; but youβre in more danger if I stick aroundβ. βLuluβ¦β, Sam began.
βSheβs right, Sammyβ, Dean said calmly; eyes still on the road. βWeβll take you as far as Iowa. Get out of the state; and find a bus stationβ. Sam looked at his brother incredulously. βAnd then she just goes to San Francisco?β, Sam asked. βNoβ, I muttered. βI canβt put that on Raulβ¦ Not nowβ. Sam looked back at me. βWhere, then?β, he growled. βBetter if you donβt know. Iβm a weaknessβ, I said. βYouβre protecting me because you think you have toβ. Dean looked at me again in the mirror. This time his expression read as disagreeing, but he didnβt say anything.
Sam grimaced in frustration. βIβll call Frank. Have him wire some moneyβ. He grabbed a map from the glove compartment. βRock Port. Weβll take you thereβ, he grunted.
---
Five hours later I was standing in a bus station in Iowa; my backpack at my feet, and my head full of all the information the Winchesters could give me on leviathans. Sam handed we a wad of cash, a map; and a credit card in the name of Keith Moon. βOnly use it in emergencies. They tracked most of our cardsβ. He pulled me into his arms, and held on to me tightly. βAnd thisβ¦β. He pulled a flip phone from his pocket. βThereβs only one number on there. Jody Millsβ. βThe sheriff?β, I asked. βShe knows how to get a hold of us if neededβ, Sam muttered, and gave me the phone. βAnd remember what I told you about Boraxβ. βIβll be fineβ, I lied. He pulled me in for another hug; and I buried my face in his shoulder β having to stand on my toes to reach it. βThanksβ, I whispered, and pulled away from him.
Dean was stood a few paces away; looking at us. Sam wiped away a tear I hadnβt known was there; and I realized I was crying as well. Sam walked back towards the station wagon, and Dean came over to me.
βIβm sorryβ, he said earnestly. βSeems all I do is steamroll into your life, and turn it upside downβ. βMy life in Kansas City wasnβt exactly picture perfectβ, I replied. βAnd you had to, right?β. He shook his head. βI donβt care if I didβ¦β, he breathed. βBut you doβ¦ And I get it. Maybe some day youβllβ¦β. He let out a deep breath. βJust be happy, ok?β, he said. I tried for a smile, but it turned into saddened frown. βYou tooβ¦β, I croaked. βI really wishβ¦β. βI knowβ, Dean whispered.
I took his hand, and put it to my cheek. βIf this was real, Iβd kiss you right nowβ, I breathed, and looked into his warm eyes. He raised a brow at me. βIf youβd just believe this was real, Iβd have you naked in the nearest motel roomβ, he smirked. I glared at him. βSorryβ¦β, he smiled more softly.
βIβm gonna miss you, Fredβ, I smiled. βGoodbye, Velmaβ, he replied. I leant in and kissed his cheek; when his arms folded around me, and he leant in to whisper into my ear. βSave a dance for me, Louβ¦ Iβll lie awakeβ. He kissed my temple, and let go of me; walking away.

I went east for a while, moving towards Chicago; and leaving a trail of credit card receipts. At a diner outside Des Moines, the tv showed a news report about grave robberies in Seward, Nebraska. An insurance agent from the 60βs had been dug up, and for some strange reason, his bones had been burnt. Whoever Garth was, he wasnβt very good at covering his tracks.
On a bus towards Cedar Rapids, I noticed a car trailing behind; taking the same stops and turns as the bus. As Iβd planned, theyβd tracked me. At the next stop, I dropped the credit card in the lap of a guy who looked like heβd probably use a stolen card. I ran for the stationβs bathroom, and hid out for a while; before going back outside, and hitching a ride south.
Nowhere, Oklahoma. The name sprang into my eyes as I looked over the map my giant of a friend had given me. It was tiny. Perfect. Iβd needed to disappear, and what place better than a place where the name was literally an answer to where I was. Where is she? Youβll find her Nowhere.
I had to take several busses, and hitched another ride with a creepy looking trucker, who ditched me on the side of the road, when I wouldnβt put out. In the end, I made it to Nowhere. In my backpack I had my clothes, a bottle of ready mixed Borax, a toothbrush; and some drugstore makeup and hair dye.
With no motel in the town, I searched out the nearest bar. The eager looking bartender greeted me cheerfully. I asked about work in the area, and he instantly offered me a job as a waitress β his former one having skipped town the week before. βYou donβt need experience. Just donβt trip over your own feey when you serve the beersβ, my new boss had smiled. There was a small room above the bar; and I accepted a pay cut to be able to stay there.
I lined the windowsill and the bottom of the door with salt, and stuck my gun into the back of my jeans β before grabbing an apron, and getting to work.

3 months later.
The stretch of road in front of them looks like every other they travel. At least heβs back in his baby; who is purring beautifully from under the hood. His brother is there next to him, as usual β their relationship somewhat good at the moment. Having the angel reappear in their lives was a surprise; one that heβs not sure how to feel about yet; but heβs at least happy heβs alive. Counting out the Dick made of black goo; things would be all right, if something wasnβt missing.
There is a hole inside him β one that only one person has been able to fill β and sheβs gone.
Samβs phone rings, and he picks it up. βYeahβ¦ Jody? Give me a secβ¦β. He presses a button. βYouβre on speakerβ. βHey guysβ¦ I just got a weird call from someone claiming to be your friendβ, the sheriff says. He frowns, and looks at the phone. βThey give you a name?β, he asks. βNo, nothing. She just said to let you know there was a Borax incident in Nowhereβ. βNowhere?β, Sam asks. βYeah. Nowhere, Oklahoma. She sounded like she was in a rush. She said; Keith Moon went to Chicago. Velma washed floors in Nowhere, when a guyβs feet started meltingβ¦ Does any of this make any sense to you?β. Dean and Sam send each other a look. βYeah, it makes sense. Thanks, Jodyβ, Sam says, and hangs up.
Dean clenches his fingers around the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turn white. βShe wouldnβt have called if it wasnβt importantβ, his brother mutters. βI knowβ, he grunts. βHow far is Nowhere?β. βOklahoma Cityβs about 10 hours away, if we skip breaks for foodβ. He steps down harder on the pedal, and the engine roars; speeding up down the road.
8 hours later they are standing in a bar in a small town about 40 miles outside Oklahoma City. A waitress brushes up against Dean with a bright smile, as she nabs a tray of drinks from a tired looking bartender, who is answering their questions. βNo, sir. No deaths or accidents around here. Unless you count me losing my favorite waitress, as an accidentβ, the bartender says. He looks with tired eyes at the waitress, who is now on her way to serve some patrons in a booth. She trips over her own feet, and drops the tray on the floor. βWhoopsies!β, the young woman smiles. She bends down as seductively as she can, and looks over her shoulder at Dean. If it hadnβt been for... He dismisses the thought. The last time he tried to use a one night stand to get over her, heβd ended up a baby-daddy to a monster.
The bartender rolls his eyes. βGood help is hard to findβ. He frowns at the man. βShe go missing?β, he asks. The bartender shrugs in response. βI think she just skipped town with some guyβ¦β.
Sam clears his throat in that worried way he does, when he thinks something is terribly wrong. Dean canβt help but feel the same way. βWhat makes you think she skipped town?β, Sam asks. βWell, she was a good enough girl, but she never seemed really happy here; you know?β, the bartender says. βThree days ago, she was helping me close up β washing the floors β when this guy comes in, and walks over to herβ. βWhat did he look like?β, Dean asks. βFedora, leather jacketβ¦β, the bartender begins. βToo tight jeans?β, Dean interrupts. The bartender nods. βI went to put away some bottles out back, and when I returned, they were both goneβ.
Samβs eyes catch something on the floor. βExcuse me; but what is that over there?β, he asks; and points towards two foot-shaped markings on the floor. The bartender shrugs. βI have no idea. It was there when she left. Looks like something melted into the floor, right? I havenβt been able to get it offβ. Sam goes over to look at the markings; and pokes at them with a pen. Dean joins his brother, and instantly recognizes the goo. He swallows hard. βTry Boraxβ, he says over his shoulder to the bartender. The man chuckles. βThatβs what Velma always usedβ.
Dean turns around, furrowing his brow. βThat was her name?β, he asks. The bartender nods. Sam stands up, and walks back to the counter. βWhere was she staying?β, he asks. βJust upstairsβ, the tender responds.
They go up to a small rom with a single bed, a wardrobe and a table. βWhat was that thing about what the guy looked like?β, Sam asks. βWhat does it matter?β. Dean frowns. βHe was impersonating the exβ¦ Peteβ, he responds. βYou worried sheβd believe it? Go with him?β, Sam says. βSheβs too smart for thatβ, Dean grunts, with a crooked smile. βBut she might have tried to fightβ. The thought of this sends chills down his spine. Sheβs smart, knows so much β but he doesnβt think sheβs strong enough for a fight like that. He knows sheβs not.
They begin searching the room for any clue as to where she might have gone, or the leviathan might have taken her. βDeanβ¦β, Sam says. He joins his brother by the bed. There are what looks like dried blood on the sheet; which has been shredded. He swallows hard. βShe might beβ¦β, Sam begins. βDonβtβ, Dean says. βSheβs notβ¦β. He feels a mixture of rage and sorrow build up; just as it did when Bobbyβ¦ But this is different. Bobby was a hunter. Louβ¦ He brought this on her. They used her to get to him.
He turns around, walks over to the small wardrobe, and slams his fist into the door β the wood of it breaking from the sheer force. βWeβll find herβ, Sam says quietly. βAt least give her a hunterβs burialβ. Dean closes his eyes, and lets out a deep breath.
βUhm, fellasβ?. The waitress is standing outside the door; holding up a phone. βIs one of you John Osbourne?β. Dean opens his eyes. βWhy?β, he calls. βI got a phone call here for you. Some ladyβ¦β. She smiles sweetly at him, and bites her lip, as he nabs the phone from her. She walks down the stairs again, swaying her hips.
βHello?β, Dean breathes. βDeanβ¦β. He lets out a sigh of relief. Her voice still makes his heart leap, and sends warm waves of joy through him. βLouβ¦β. Samβs eyes light up. What?, he mouths. βAre you ok?β, Dean asks. βIβmβ¦ yeahβ. βThere was bloodβ¦ I thoughtβ¦β. βJust a scratch. I found someone to stitch me up. Donβt worryβ. He can hear the smile in her voice, reminding him of the face sheβd make every time he kissed her. Except for the last timeβ¦ βWhere are you?β, he demands. βI canβt tell you. You know thatβ¦β. She sighs. βDean, I left something thereβ¦ I didnβt know what to do with itβ. He frowns. βWhat?β. βIn the wardrobeβ¦ Thereβs a boxβ. Dean gestures towards the broken wardrobe door, and Sam goes to open it. He grimaces in confusion, as he pulls out a cardboard box; which seems to have some weight to it.
βDonβt open it around anyoneβ¦β, she says. Dean closes the door to the hallway; and walks over to the box; which Sam has placed on the bed. Dean gently opens the lid of the box, and lets out a short breath. Samβs expression is one of pure marvel.
βCan youβ¦ get rid of it for me?β, she asks. βHow the hell did you manage this?β, Dean asks, as he looks down into the box; meeting the eyes of a fedora hat wearing head. βI picked up some tricks along the wayβ. This time he hears her smirk; that annoying, yet endearing expression that always sends heat straight toβ¦ Another time, another place, Dean, he thinks to himself. He clears his throat. βWeβll take care of itβ, he says quietly. He closes his eyes, and sees her face in front of him. βPlease tell me where you are, Louβ¦β βNo, Dean. Iβm sorry. You and meβ¦ I canβt. Not if itβs not realβ.
He clenches his jaw. βWhat are you gonna do now?β, he asks. βYou wouldnβt like the answerβ¦β, she responds. He opens his eyes. βNo, sweetheart. Thatβs not an optionβ, he grunts. βYouβre way out of your league thereβ¦β. He hears her chuckle. βA few salt and burns here and there for practiceβ, she says. βIβll be fine. And you can focus on the leviathansβ. βLou, no!β. Sam looks at him questioningly. He looks at his brother with hard eyes. βKick their asses for me, ok?β. βLou!β, Dean yells. Sheβs hung up.
He throws the phone on the bed in frustration. βWhat happened?β, Sam mutters. βWhere is she?β Dean lets out a deep breath. βLouβs on a hunting tripβ¦ and she wonβt be home in a few daysβ.

My Travel Accessories
When it comes to traveling; I donβt play any games to be comfortable. So I decided to share my must have accessories when Iβm traveling:
CASES
Iβm one of the few people in the world that really doesnβt drop my phone. However, accidents can happen and when you donβt have equipment protection...you are playing a huge gamble. To protect from physical damage, I got the full package: screen protector, case, and equipment protection. My iPhone 11 Pro 256gb is well over $1000...soooo yeah. However if you donβt have equipment protection here are some cases you can get.

I technically have five cases but one wasnβt categorized here for a reason. But let me give you a breakdown:
Upper left corner is my Lifeproof FrΔ. Turns the phone into complete waterproof, dust proof, snow proof, dirt proof, etc. itβs super handy when I take underwater photos, go on water rides, or accidentally forget to take it out of my pocket. The case is sealed air tight, so if you need to take it off, use like a quarter and pop from the side
Gear 4 case upper right: this is my everyday case. I usually have it for like at home, errands, getting on the plane, etc. The case is super easy to take off.
Bottom left is my LuMee case: everybody needs good lighting and LuMeeβs case does that on point. The duo case has lighting on the front and back and you can control how bright the light is.
Bottom right is my Shift cam case: perfect for high quality photos and trying out different lenses. I have this case when I go to concerts.
Headphones
When traveling sometimes you really donβt need all that extra background noise. And since Iβm a huge music addict, Iβd rather hear my playlist...not some child screaming or an adult who doesnβt know how to shut up. Enter headphones.

I got a few selections so Iβll break it down once again.
Powerbeats 3: super lightweight and compatible. They have I believe a 12 hour battery off one charge. There are probably my go-to just because of size, I really canβt lose them, and again how easy it is to travel with them.
The blue Samsung Level: lol so I got these after I saw them in one of Kpopβs group EXOβs music video Call Me Baby. Btw itβs a bopπ€£ they are Bluetooth/ wireless and lasted me a couple of days. Then again I wasnβt really using them a whole lot. But they are really high quality, voice activation, slide up, down, left, right to control volume, skip songs, or repeat, and best part...NOISE CANCELLATION! When I took the train to Chicago and flipped the switch, my world was changed.
AirPods: I was one of those people who really didnβt feel like this was one purchase I needed. But you know that phrase, βdonβt knock it till you try it?β Yeah...that was me with AirPods. If you are an iPhone user I recommend getting them. They are lightweight, alternate compatible (meaning you can use left, right, or both), and Siri is actually more useful. All I say is βHey Siriβ and boom. She takes care of it.
Regular cord: these are my everyday headphones. And the most expendable. I try not to lose any items...but things happen. If I lose them, these can be easily replaced. But I carry these around so my other expensive ones are my backup.
Portable Battery Packs
If you are like me, Iβm always on my phone. Either checking on my social media, playing games, watching videos, blasting music, calling, texting, etc. your phone can get drained a lot. I was at a concert once in St. Louis when my phone almost went dead. Good thing my Dad and I had spot to meet afterwards. From that point on I decided to always carry around a portable charger. And letβs be real, nobody wants to be in a situation where you need help but your phone is dead.

I have like 5 portable chargers. But these are my go to travel ones I take with me. You can say extra, but hey; better to be prepared than sorry.
Starting from the left: I found this neat solar powered portable battery pack on amazon. The directions say if you want it fully charged; plug it into an outlet. This was super helpful when I was in Disneyland because of the sun. I just attached it using the clip to my bag.
Middle: this is your standard portable battery park. I got this when I saw Instagram model/ actor Matthew Noszka post about this charger. Itβs super slick and fashionable. But with a charge of 10,000mH itβs super fast and helpful. Oh! Always look for portable batteries that are 10,000 and higher. The higher the charge, faster and longer lasting it will be. If your going to be out of your hotel all day with no time to sit and plug in your phone, get you a portable pack.
On the right: This is Appleβs smart battery case. This is probably my favorite one out of all three. When you put your iPhone in the case it starts charging. Once the case fully uses all the battery, your phone battery kicks in. Whatβs neat is that if you have the case on and need to charge your phone, the case also charges. I had to charge up the case twice while I was at Disneyland. But worth the investment.
Bags & Backpacks
When I was younger; talking about like elementary school to middle school my mom always told me carry around a bag. Whenever she went to Six Flags she always had a bag full of snacks, drinks, and if I got soaked on a water ride extra clothes. Now that Iβm older and doing a lot of solo traveling Iβve been carrying around a backpack a lot. Especially if Iβm going to concerts.

I always have two bags with me now.
See through bag: when I travel, itβs 95% of the time for concerts and amusement parks. I do occasionally do sight seeing stuff as well. However security can be a hassle if they have to check your stuff. So I have a see through pvc type bag that security can easily see all the items Iβm bringing into the park or venue. Plus itβs a lot easier for both parties.
Boujee Bag: I always think itβs important to have what I call my Boujee Bag, aka Travel Bag. This is where I have like my iPad, MacBook, chargers, important documents like passport, tickets, etc. I love my Coach Backpack. It has so many different compartment that it makes traveling with tons of times a lot easier.
Water Bottle: Traveling without having a good water bottle is a receipe for disaster. I spent so much money on overpriced water at like sight seeing attractions and grab and go placesπ€¦ββοΈ so to help cut down costs, I have this nice Lokai water bottle. It keeps cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks hot for 12. But you can always find cheaper water bottles at Walmart.
Wallets!
Like cases I have a variety of wallets that I travel with. I hardly carry around cash so this is where like my ID, cards, everything is in.

On top is my everyday Fossil Wallet that I take everywhere. Including traveling as well. I love how itβs RFID protected. While I was working at Fossil, I learned from my assistant manager that criminals are adapting on how they steal credit card information. They can walk past you and use their phone to scan card information. If a wallet that has RFID protection, it blocks the scan. With safety in mind, that is a wallet I recommend. Donβt worry ladies, Fossil also has a beautiful line of collections as well.
Bottom: That is my Coach Menβs Long Zip Wallet. I got it on sale the day o purchased my backpack. I switch into this wallet when I go out to restaurants, bars, and clubs. It has a wristlet so I can hold onto and keep check. I can hold multiple cards in as well, and my phone in there. Sometimes itβs best to keep track when everything is in one place.
That pretty much is all my travel accessories. Remember not everyone is the same, so customize on what your travel neccessities are. I always recommend before any trip, plan on bringing what you need vs the wants. Once you figure that out, it makes life so much easier.

Pearl Earrings
Thomas swore all eyes were on him as he pushed his mostly empty shopping cart down an aisle. It squeaked and wobbled, attracting even more attention than Thomas wanted. He was certain the woman with a high, tight ponytail and sunglasses gave him a nasty look. A boy that couldnβt have been any older than five stared at him as he walked by until he finally went to the next aisle. His heart pounded as he moved to pick up a loaf of bread, convinced that the employee stocking the shelves had heard plastic containers rubbing together in one of the various pockets of his jacket.
Thomas smiled weakly at the employee before moving on.
Read more below or check the link to my full story here!
At least he was almost done. He crossed Walmart, from the groceries to the toiletries. He entered an empty aisle, waited one second, then two. Half a minute had passed with no one else walking by or joining him among the toiletries. He checked one more time, then stuck his finger under the flap of a box to slowly pry it open. Thomas checked again that no one was nearby before he began shoving as many pads as he could fit into the last empty inner pocket of his jacket.
He pushed his cart to the checkout and began tossing his items onto the conveyor belt. A gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a box of spaghetti noodles, a jar of spaghetti sauce, a carton of eggs, a box of Lucky Charms, and a bag of potato chips.
The cashier scanned each item without looking up, but Thomas held his breath the entire time. She grumbled when Thomas produced a roll of cash to pay for the items. He didnβt bother to hold up the line making sure she had counted the right amount of change; he wanted to get out of this store as soon as possible.
βExcuse me, sir?β Someone behind him called, immediately causing Thomas to freeze. Β βHi, yes, excuse me?β
Thomas slowly turned to see a blue vested woman that had to be around his age approaching him.
βEr -- what is it?β
βCould you do me a favor and take your jacket off?β She asked. βI just need to see something before you leave the store.β
βUh,β Thomas muttered. βI donβt really need --β
βSir,β She repeated. βIβm going to need you to come with me.β
He could run. He could run out of the store right now, they didnβt know his name or have his license plate. He could get away with it, get home to Abigail and act like nothing had happened.
Yet, he found himself robotically following the woman regardless. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone push his cart towards customer services at the front of the store, opposite to where he was currently going.
She brought him to the back of the store. They approached a whitewashed door with an βemployees onlyβ sign stuck on the front. She opened the door and ushered him inside. Thomas was greeted by a small room, also with whitewashed walls, and a cold white tile floor. A metal desk with an old computer that probably ran Windows XP was the only furniture in the room save for another small plastic chair.
βCan um...can I ask what this is about?β
βWe have footage of you that we believe shows you shoplifting,β The woman said. βIβm going to need you to remove your jacket and sit down.β
Thomas robotically slid his jacket off of his shoulders. Its unusual weight was apparent as he offered it to the woman before he stiffly sat in the uncomfortable plastic chair.
The woman, seemingly named Barbara based on her nametag, frowned after taking the jacket. She quickly began taking items out of it: the wad of pads, a bottle of Robitussin cold, cough, and flu medicine, a small bottle of laundry detergent, and a tube of toothpaste. Just as she went to place the jacket on top of the metal table, a pair of shiny new pearl earrings fell out.
βOh?β Barbara picked them up to get a closer look. βWhat is this?β
βPlease,β Thomas began begging. βThis is just...just a misunderstanding. You can take this stuff and Iβll just be on my way with my groceries --β
βSee, if it was just this stuff,β She pointed to the rest of the items on the table. βI could let you go. But these earrings? These...theseβre pretty pricey.β
βPlease,β Thomas repeated. βYou can take them. Just...donβt call the police or anything. Iβll be on my way. It can be like none of this ever happened.β
Barbara sighed. βUnfortunately I canβt do that.β
βPlease!β Thomas said once more. His foot began to bounce rapidly while his eyes darted around the room, refusing to stay on Barbara or the items on the table for more than a second. βI canβt...I canβt go to jail,β
βSo youβre admitting you were going to steal these items then?β Barbara questioned. She procured a camera from one of the deskβs drawers, along with a few sheets of paper that looked like forms.
βItβs not like that,β He argued.
βSo you werenβt trying to steal from Walmart?β
βNo. I mean...yes...but--β
βNo buts,β Barbara shook her head. βThatβs all I need to know. I donβt care why you were stealing, but the fact is that you were.β
βTheyβre for my daughter!β Thomas shouted. βMy little girl! Abigail!β He met Barbaraβs gaze, but only long enough so he could tear his eyes away again. βI...I just want to give her a good birthday.β
βAnd the medicine?β Barbara questioned. βThe toothpaste? The laundry detergent?β
Thomas hung his head. βI...I havenβt been getting very many hours lately --β
βAnd neither have I.β
βPlease! Please, please, please,β Thomas insisted, nearly falling out of the plastic chair. βI canβt do this to my daughter. Sheβs only twelve. She doesnβt have anywhere else to go. Please donβt do this. For her. For Abigail.β
Barbara looked at Thomas, his bottom lip quivering pathetically. She bit her lip so tightly it nearly bled, but she only shook her head. βIβm sorry. I have to.β
βNo, no! You donβt understand. You donβt know what itβs like,β He persisted. βYou donβt know what itβs like to...to have to come to this to provide,β
Immediately, a fierce, cold flame lit up in Barbaraβs eyes as she deathly stared at him. βYou think I donβt understand? That I donβt know what itβs like?β
Thomas grew smaller in the plastic chair.
βLet me guess. You thought Walmartβs easy to take things from. Itβs a massive corporation. A pair of earrings wonβt burn a hole in the CEOβs wallet. Whatβs the big deal?β She moved in front of the metal table, dangerously close to Thomas and his chair. βBut more things start to get stolen. Walmart starts to lose money. The cashiers start getting less hours to make up the difference. Prices rise a bit so weβre still making a profit. I start losing hours, and then Iβm no longer making enough to help my daughter,β Barbara paused, just long enough to jab her finger at Thomasβ face. βYou got caught. Iβm trying to do my job so I donβt get fired. End of story.β
Barbara returned to the old computer. She looked down at the papers on the desk, filling in boxes with information.
βYou have a daughter too?β Thomas asked, still small in his plastic chair.
Barbara didnβt look up.
His hands still shook, but he pursed his lips tightly and slightly nodded his head. Of course she was just doing her job. She had to watch out for her daughter, same as he did.
βYouβll do anything to keep them safe, huh?β He offered.
He wasnβt sure if it was just his imagination, but he thought he saw Barbaraβs head nod slightly.
The security room grew quiet, save for the graphite pencil scratching against the paper.
βThe police will already have been called,β Barbara muttered while she shuffled through her papers. βBut they wonβt be here for a while,β After collecting the papers into a neat pile, she stood straight, her arms stiffly hanging at her sides. βLegally, I donβt have to force you to be here, Sir. I canβt stop you from leaving the store, but if you do leave, you may be charged with evading arrest.β
Was she saying what he thought she was saying?
βNow, I have to leave for a minute. I believe itβs raining outside and I want to grab a hat before I leave,β
Without another word, Barbara turned to her right and exited through the door.
Thomas counted to twenty before following her footsteps. A hat with a large brim without a price tag sat just outside of the security room door.
He looked left. He looked right. He was completely alone. Thomas held his breath before tugging the large hat on, and didnβt breathe again until he was safely out of the store and in his car. As he took the large hat off, a pair of shiny pearl earrings fell out and onto his lap.
Thomas didnβt look back until he was a comfortable ten miles from the Walmart, and he swore heβd never seen a bigger smile on Abigailβs face.

Dear Friend, Iβm Jedd Johnson, from the Diesel Crew, and I want to be perfectly honest with you.
Over the years I have struggled to scrape up enough money to buy the equipment I needed for my training.
I have competed in countless strongman and grip competitions and when I first started, I had to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to get the equipment I needed.
Starting out right after college, I had a car payment, college loans, credit card bills, cell phone bills, and had to buy food and supplements. I had very little extra money to throw at training equipment. It took me years to accumulate what I have gotten.
I was recently talking with my friend, Joe Hashey from Synergy Athletics, about how expensive some of the equipment on the market is these days. It turns out, his story is just like mine. He was in the same boat I was β Bills and debt stood in the way of him buying the equipment he has wanted for his athletes for years.
Unlike the golden boys who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Joe and I toiled in the dust and dirt begging, borrowing, and stealing our way to get our equipment.
I canβt begin to count the number of people I have spoken with that have told me the same exact thing β their budgets these days are just not big enough to pay the prices equipment companies are asking for their equipment.
For a new trainer or a strength enthusiast with limited resources, it can be damn hard to scrape up the money to put together a respectable collection of equipment.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
Joe and I have built our garage gyms from the ground up.
Recently, we put our heads together and we came up with a list of equipment that we knew how to make ourselves.
We decided we were going to give back to the people that have been so supportive of us over the years and show you all how to make your own Home Made Strength Equipment, with the HOME MADE STRENGTH ONLINE DVD.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
BREAK THROUGH: Finally, you no longer have to struggle to pay for equipment or deal with a guilty conscience for buying the equipment you need in your training.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
This is the information the equipment companies donβt want you to know.
β Never scrounge around for nickels and dimes to pay for your equipment again.
β
Never hock your precious possessions in order to get money for new lifting gear again.
β
Never apply for an extra part-time job to pay for a new training device.
β
Never stress out about bouncing another check you send to an equipment company.
β
Never worry that you wonβt be able to condition properly because you donβt have the right equipment.
β
Never slight your athletes and hold their progress back again.
β
Never go to bed wondering how youβre going to explain the new monstrous charges to the credit card to your girlfriend or wife.

Coronavirus: making supply networks visible
UK Government published its COVID-19 plan, which says that up to a fifth of UK workers could be off sick at any one time in the βreasonable worst caseβ. If that happens there will obviously be strain on systems: youβll seeΒ
βpopulation distancing strategies (such as school closures, encouraging greater home working, reducing the number of large-scale gatherings) to slow the spread of the disease throughout the population, while ensuring the countryβs ability to continue to run as normally as possible.β
That might also mean key parts of the public sector need to prioritise the most essential services, so NHS, social care, emergency services etc may see some streamlining.Β
What are big tech firms doing? Amazon is banning non-essential travel. Twitter is encouraging staff to work from home and Google is trying out a work-from-home day in Ireland to test its preparedness. (Amazon is also trying to stop people selling face masks at hugely inflated prices on its platform.)
Very practically: it might seem suspiciously simple, but handwashing with soap is still the best thing to do, because soap is good at ripping apart the fatty envelope around the virus. Some measured βpreparingβ is probably sensible and helpful because it introduces a little slack into the health and food systems. The wider community benefits because the case load on the healthcare system is spread out over time the. (For the avoidance of doubt, this newsletter is *not* advising anyone to immediately put their camouflage bandana on and barricade themselves into their homes. And nor are public health experts, who are the people to actually listen to.)Β
It looks like the virus will make visible some of the things that modern life works hard to keep invisible. Critical national infrastructure - chief medical officers, scientists - explain the situation and the plan. And supply chains also become more visible: if consumer electronics become more expensive, you might get a sense of that supply chain reaching back to China. But it isnβt a single chain, a linear path of supply along which money is swapped for things. Itβs really supply *networks* - all the supply chains are entwined. If schools are shut, then there will be knock-on effects: a significant percentage of the workforce would be at home looking after children. This also means that if you wanted to avoid other people by staying at home and getting everything safely delivered to your house, well that still relies on Amazon's delivery people! The virus may eventually force everyone to think at the level of the community, rather than the individual.
Elsewhere:Β
βGOV.βUK Notify just helped an NHS team set up a 2-way text messaging service for extreme-risk people to monitor and report Coronavirus symptoms. Took them a few hours, start to finish. Would've been impossible, even a couple of years ago. This is why platforms matter.β
Azeem Azhar wonders if coronavirus will force some political, economic and cultural adaptation upon society.
Insurance: Fordβs black box
Ford will offer drivers better insurance rates in partnership with Nationwide (a US insurer, not the UK mortgage provider). Insurance premia depend on how much you use the car, but also how you use it - drivers will be able to get up to 40% off if they drive safely. Itβs one of the first driving telemetry solutions that doesnβt need a βblack boxβ to be installed - the car is the black box. The catch for drivers: you need to be happy sharing your driving data with Ford and your insurer, and no doubt you need to be a safe driver.
Also in car insurance:
Young drivers βlet down over insurance app faultsβ - Carrot uses phone data to measure braking and acceleration, but some say it often fails to work.
How we analyzed Allstateβs car insurance algorithm - data + code = new approaches to journalism.
Amazon goes big
Amazon has opened its first full size cashierless grocery store in Seattle - Go technology at 5,000 product lines in 10,000 sq ft size. (And hereβs someoneβs inevitable βcan we fool the sensors and steal a bananaβ piece.) You shouldnβt necessarily see this story as Amazon going bigger now that it has *perfected* Go. There will probably be many more experiments with technology, format, size, inventory, location and everything else. Amazon is the experiment machine.
Elsewhere in supermarkets:
Walmart's click-and-collect offering is doing well - 37% growth in US ecommerce (which covers both click-and-collect and delivered).
M&S Food will expand its fill-your-own-container scheme to Manchester after a successful trial in which half of the lines offered outsold their packaged equivalents.
Tesco puts 1,800 jobs at risk as it scales down in-store bakeries - on the other hand Waitrose is selling more bread!
Ridesharing: more pollution, more accidents
Two research reports find unexpected problems with ridesharing:Β
ridesharing companies seem to generate 70% more pollution than the trips they displace.
ridehailing is associated with an increase of approximately 3% in the number of fatalities and fatal accidents, for both vehicle occupants and pedestrians.Β
When your company started up in car cultureβs home country, then naturally the solutions mostly look likeβ¦ cars. Though this might be part of the problem.

A Cat's Intuition (Shalaska) 2/4 - Lunaska
A/N: So, here she is.This fic, like most things I write, is a slow-burn, so be patient with me. The waiter/bartender as described in this chapter is probably ridiculously inaccurate, but itβs how I need it to be. This chapter was fun to write and I hope you like it as much as I do. Please leave me some feedback!
Aaronβs ears were red.
And his neck.
And his face.
And probably everything else too.
In his haste to get rid of the small colony of underwear that had settled on his living room rug, he had made some poor decisions.
First of all, walmart shopping bags are good for many things: acting as small trash can liners, handy helpers when you have to pick up the shit your neighborβs dog keeps leaving on your lawn, and the classic βiβm staying at a friendβs house and donβt want my dirty clothes to touch the rest of my clothes.β
One of the things walmart shopping bags were not known for is their stealth.
Being mildly transparent, flimsy, and noisy, they are not the best at keeping secrets.
Another important thing to take into account is that when you want to keep the contents of your grocery bags hidden, you should probably tie them shut.
Needless to say, Aaronβs decision making skills were proving subpar.
But, his lack of knowledge in the art of the covert didnβt stop there.
On his way to drop his bag of underwear off in the big trash in the parking lot, he made a crucial error: being a distracted son a bitch.
Aaron wasnβt sure the quarter he bent over to pick up was worth the embarrassment of having his bag full of underwear spill out all over the concrete.
Underwear that wasnβt even his.
To top all it off, it was in front of the new guy who lived right next door.
As he stared at the brunette sitting on the ground in front of him, he tried to think of any possible excuse he could use to justify what was happening.
He didnβt want to be the neighborhood weirdo.
βIβm really sorry, I was just, uhm, doing some spr-β
βIs that my fucking underwear?β The other man interrupted. Though, he didnβt seem as angry as he did shocked and confused.
Aaron tried to swallow the huge lump that had just formed in his throat, but it wasnβt going down.
He decided to stop trying.
Choking sounded pretty good right now.
xxxx
Justin was just trying to have a normal fucking day.
Instead, he was standing across from his new neighbor, who seemed to have a penchant for strangerβs undergarments. The man was sitting on the concrete with his scruffy blond hair in his hands. The bag that once contained the underwear was gone with the breeze, leaving only its previous contents to color the sidewalk.
Fucking walmart bags.
He really didnβt have enough time to process the scene before him. Even if he did have all the time in the world, he certainly didnβt have the patience to deal with whatever this shit show was going to entail.
The blond was now rubbing at his eyes, albeit a little too harshly.
Itβs really a shame that all the cute ones at this apartment complex are absolute psychos.
But he had to admit that he would pick Brian, βDo you want to come over and watch Contact with me and my cat Trixie?β McCook over the weirdo stealing his underwear.
But, back to the situation at hand.
βAll I want to know is if thatβs my underwear?β Justin said, gesturing to the messy pile decorating the sidewalk. βAnd if it is mine, why do you have it?β
The blond looked up at Justin, looking absolutely hopeless.
βUhβ¦I donβt know.β
Justin walked over to the undergarments in question and knelt to get a closer look. It took him less than ten seconds to know that this was his missing underwear.
He looked up at the blond who was currently running his hands through his hair, pulling at the ends like he wanted to rip them out of his scalp.
He was starting to feel rather bad for embarrassing the guy. I mean, we all have our kinks, right?
He quickly looked away from the other man. He couldnβt show sympathy for someone who was actively stealing his underwear, doing God-knows-what with it, and then throwing it away.
βLook,β Justin said pointing his finger at the other man, βI donβt care what you get off to but just donβt take my shit anymore, okay?β
The blond nodded.
The guy was pretty cute, especially looking all guilty.
He steals underwear, Justin.
Focus.
He pushed off the ground with a groan and a final mildly angry look at the thief, then stalked off towards his car. With one last look over his shoulder, he yelled
βand I want my socks back too!β
xxx
Aaron couldnβt find any damn socks.
Heβd spent both of his days off cleaning his entire house and looking everywhere for them and found nothing but $3.78 in change and an old beanie that Cerrone had clearly taken his claws to.
He was already pissed that he didnβt get a chance to explain himself and now the other man was going to think he was still stealing from him. He was hoping heβd find the socks along with the answer to why he was mysteriously receiving all of his neighborβs underwear, and maybe a couple thousand dollars.
But, no dice.
Oh well.
He couldnβt afford to dwell on his odd relationship with his neighbor, or his lack of spending money.
He was scheduled to work tonight and he really needed to make some good tips or his car was gonna have to run on imagination instead of fuel. So, as he walked into his uncleβs dusty bar and grill that evening, he tried to gather some energy. The dark blue walls of the poorly lit restaurant were slowly becoming comforting, almost homey. Waiting tables wasnβt glamorous, but it kept Cerroneβs food bowl full and Aaronβs fridge stocked with PBR.
Sparing a final grateful thought towards whoever created his drink of choice, he tied his apron and got started.
A few hours in, Aaron felt right in his element as he settled into a practiced rhythm. With the kind of grace that can only be learned over time, he juggled his tables, feeling confident in the service he was providing. He had waited tables since he was sixteen, bouncing from restaurant to restaurant learning new things every time. And now at twenty four, he felt that he could do this job in his sleep and still make more money than his co-workers.
Extra napkins for table five.
Table eight needs refills.
He was about to go get one of his tables their check when he was flagged down by a customer who wanted a drink from the bar. He quickly made his way to the bar area, grumbling under his breath. The way this restaurant handled itβs drinks for tables was inconvenient, and thatβs being generous. The waiters had to go all the way to the bar and order the drinks themselves.
As he grumpily made his way to the bar for the first time that evening, he took in the unfamiliar figure of the man behind the counter, who currently had his back to Aaron. They had hired a new bartender who he had yet to meet, but word around the kitchen was that he was funny. And something else his coworkers had mentioned? Was it ambidextrous?
Whatever it was, he just hoped it helped him make good drinks.
He leaned against the bar and patted the counter yelling a quick, βHey, can I get a Long Island for my table, please?β
Aaron felt a little rude yelling at the back of the new guyβs head, but he didnβt have much of a choice.
As he waited for the bartender to acknowledge him, he took notice of all the people sitting at the bar. Most of them looking towards the new guy with amused expressions, others closer to him were laughing. He must be as funny as everyone said.
Putting a couple of drinks in front of his small audience, he grabbed a cocktail shaker from behind the counter and turned towards Aaron with a wide smile that melted as soon as the two made eye contact.
When Aaron met his eyes he wanted to evaporate on the spot. If he had a drink, heβd have done a spit take. And if heβd had more money to his name and a more conveniently placed exit door, he wouldβve booked it out of the restaurant so fast, he wouldβve broken the speed limit.
It was his neighbor.
You know, the one who thinks heβs a panty thief?
The one who probably thinks that Aaron has some sort of shrine dedicated to his briefs? The brunette probably assumed that Aaron had some sort of weird underwear fetish.
Aaron had always been both gay and weird, but heβd never been an underwear thief.
At this point, he chalked most of his problems up to bad karma, or maybe heβd accidentally been rude to a witch one day and now she was ruining his life. Either way, the amount of bad luck he was experiencing was ridiculous.
Aaronβs neighbor, whose name tag read βJustin,β was staring at him in shock. The shaker in his hands had stopped moving and the brunette stood stiff as a board in front of him. Β The atmosphere had gone from lighthearted to tense in a matter of seconds and Aaron had no clue how to fix it.
So, he just looked back at the other man, waiting for him to to say something.
Anything.
But, the seconds passed, feeling like hours, and he knew he had to get back to his tables or his wallet would suffer. He took a quick, shaky breath and looked the other man in the eyes.
βSo, uh, my name is Aaron,β He gestured to the name tag pinned onto his uniformed chest.
βItβs nice to, um, see you. So, yeah, a Long Island Ice Tea for table fifteen, please.β With that, he mustered up an unconvincing smile, turned on his heel and went back to his table. When he came back for the drink, his bartending neighbor was at the other end of the counter again with his back turned towards him. He quickly grabbed it off the counter and walked away with a sigh of relief.
Luckily, the rest of his shift was uneventful. He only had to make a couple more trips to the bar that night and all of them were less awkward than the first, and for that he was thankful.
As he rolled silverware with a couple of his co-workers later that night, he thought back on his previous encounter with Justin. Both times Aaron had been mostly silent, not even bothering to clear his name or give the other man an explanation. Everything had happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that all Aaron could do was just stand there.
He didnβt want to have an awkward relationship with someone he would obviously be seeing a lot of, so it was in his best interest to try to clear things up, and maybe even be friends with Justin.
He was determined to make things right.
Or at least make himself look less creepy.
His thoughts of redemption stayed on his mind till he clocked out that night. During the drive home, he considered what he would say and even planned a couple comebacks just in case an argument broke out, but the moment he turned the street corner that led to his apartment, all he could think of was getting home.
He sighed as he pulled into the familiar parking lot of his apartment complex.
It had been a long ass day.
All he wanted was to get home, take a shower, and watch a movie on his couch with Cerrone on his lap. He turned off his car almost giddy at the thought of having a relaxing night in.
But, the possibility of that scenario fizzled out as he got out of his car and saw Justin pull into the parking lot.
He knew that he would never get another opportunity to talk to him at work. He had already spent hours thinking about what to say and there was no time like the present, right?
Aaron pushed his door open and pulled himself out of his beat up toyota. He walked closer to where Justin was parking his car, hoping to catch him as he got out.
Justin got out of his car ungracefully and slammed the door behind him. Obviously not expecting aaron to be standing a couple feet from him in the middle of a dark parking lot.
Okay, not his best idea.
βWere you waiting for me here?β Justin said with wide eyes and a shaky voice. He had a hand over his heart and was obviously trying to catch his breath.
Aaron once again realized that this probably wasnβt the best scenario to try to convince someone that you arenβt insane or trying to stalk, kidnap, or murder them.
βUhm, no. I just saw you pull in and iβve been meaning to talk to you for a while,β he said, nervously combing through his hair with his fingers, β So, I thought now would be a good time.β
Justin visibly relaxed a little, but still seemed nervous.
βI already said weβre cool, dude.β Justin said, βWe all have weird kinks. I just canβt afford to keep losing shit; Iβm sure Brian two doors down has some great pieces for your collection, though.β
Aaron sighed nervously, βNo, let me explain. I didnβt take your underwear. It justβ¦β he started pulling at his hair again, βKind of appeared in my living room.β
βOh, I see. It appeared in your living room?β said Justin, clearly unconvinced.
βYes. I donβt know how it got there.β Aaron knew it was a terrible argument from the second it left his mouth, but it was the only one he had to work with.
βHave you considered magic? Maybe David Blaine is playing a very long, overly involved magic trick on you,β Justin said, bitingly sarcastic. βAnd maybe IβmDavid Blaine, after all! Iβm in a mask filming this whole thing just to embarrass you, right?β
Justin took a deep, exasperated breath, clearly about to continue his list of impossible scenarios, but Aaron quickly put his hands up in surrender.
βI know it doesnβt sound very-β Aaron stopped suddenly, almost positive that he heardβ¦ meowing?
βCerrone?β he called into the darkness of the empty parking lot.
Justin was obviously confused, but also looked around trying to find whatever the blond was searching for. Suddenly Aaronβs cat sauntered out from behind Justinβs car, going straight towards his favorite person.
βWhat are you doing outside?β asked Aaron as he gathered the kitty in his arms, βhow did you even get out?β
He rubbed his cat between the ears and Cerrone purred. They were both wrapped up in their little love fest until a cough from Justinβs direction brought Aaron back to the situation at hand.
βOh, sorry!β he looked down at the cat in his arms, βdo you maybe want to talk about this at my place? I really need to get him inside.β
While he really did need to get Cerrone back home, he was also hoping that maybe showing Justin how normal his apartment was would help strengthen his argument. And after being at work for so long his feet were fucking killing him and he really wanted to sit down.
Justin shoved his hands into his jacket pockets, obviously apprehensive.
Aaron tried to muster a friendly smile, but quickly realized it probably just came off weird, so he slowly let his lips drop into their normal position.
Justin seemed to think it over for a few more seconds. With hands still in his pockets he kicked at some nonexistent rocks at his feet before uttering a quiet, βOkay.β
Okay, this was progress.
Aaron nodded, grinning excitedly before leading the way towards his apartment. The whole walk was awkward and as he struggled to unlock his front door with one arm, as the other was holding Cerrone, he could see the hesitance on Justinβs face.
As the key turned and he pushed the door open, he only hoped for one thing
Please donβt let there be a huge pile of this guyβs underwear sitting in my living room floor.

Dear Friend, Iβm Jedd Johnson, from the Diesel Crew, and I want to be perfectly honest with you.
Over the years I have struggled to scrape up enough money to buy the equipment I needed for my training.
I have competed in countless strongman and grip competitions and when I first started, I had to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to get the equipment I needed.
Starting out right after college, I had a car payment, college loans, credit card bills, cell phone bills, and had to buy food and supplements. I had very little extra money to throw at training equipment. It took me years to accumulate what I have gotten.
I was recently talking with my friend, Joe Hashey from Synergy Athletics, about how expensive some of the equipment on the market is these days. It turns out, his story is just like mine. He was in the same boat I was β Bills and debt stood in the way of him buying the equipment he has wanted for his athletes for years.
Unlike the golden boys who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Joe and I toiled in the dust and dirt begging, borrowing, and stealing our way to get our equipment.
I canβt begin to count the number of people I have spoken with that have told me the same exact thing β their budgets these days are just not big enough to pay the prices equipment companies are asking for their equipment.
For a new trainer or a strength enthusiast with limited resources, it can be damn hard to scrape up the money to put together a respectable collection of equipment.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
Joe and I have built our garage gyms from the ground up.
Recently, we put our heads together and we came up with a list of equipment that we knew how to make ourselves.
We decided we were going to give back to the people that have been so supportive of us over the years and show you all how to make your own Home Made Strength Equipment, with the HOME MADE STRENGTH ONLINE DVD.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
BREAK THROUGH: Finally, you no longer have to struggle to pay for equipment or deal with a guilty conscience for buying the equipment you need in your training.

Unlike the golden boys who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Joe and I toiled in the dust and dirt begging, borrowing, and stealing our way to get our equipment.
I canβt begin to count the number of people I have spoken with that have told me the same exact thing β their budgets these days are just not big enough to pay the prices equipment companies are asking for their equipment.
For a new trainer or a strength enthusiast with limited resources, it can be damn hard to scrape up the money to put together a respectable collection of equipment.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
Joe and I have built our garage gyms from the ground up.
Recently, we put our heads together and we came up with a list of equipment that we knew how to make ourselves.
We decided we were going to give back to the people that have been so supportive of us over the years and show you all how to make your own Home Made Strength Equipment, with the HOME MADE STRENGTH ONLINE DVD.

Dear Friend, Iβm Jedd Johnson, from the Diesel Crew, and I want to be perfectly honest with you.
Over the years I have struggled to scrape up enough money to buy the equipment I needed for my training.
I have competed in countless strongman and grip competitions and when I first started, I had to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to get the equipment I needed.
Starting out right after college, I had a car payment, college loans, credit card bills, cell phone bills, and had to buy food and supplements. I had very little extra money to throw at training equipment. It took me years to accumulate what I have gotten.
I was recently talking with my friend, Joe Hashey from Synergy Athletics, about how expensive some of the equipment on the market is these days. It turns out, his story is just like mine. He was in the same boat I was β Bills and debt stood in the way of him buying the equipment he has wanted for his athletes for years.
Unlike the golden boys who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Joe and I toiled in the dust and dirt begging, borrowing, and stealing our way to get our equipment.

Dear Friend, Iβm Jedd Johnson, from the Diesel Crew, and I want to be perfectly honest with you.
Over the years I have struggled to scrape up enough money to buy the equipment I needed for my training.
I have competed in countless strongman and grip competitions and when I first started, I had to rob Peter to pay Paul in order to get the equipment I needed.
Starting out right after college, I had a car payment, college loans, credit card bills, cell phone bills, and had to buy food and supplements. I had very little extra money to throw at training equipment. It took me years to accumulate what I have gotten.
I was recently talking with my friend, Joe Hashey from Synergy Athletics, about how expensive some of the equipment on the market is these days. It turns out, his story is just like mine. He was in the same boat I was β Bills and debt stood in the way of him buying the equipment he has wanted for his athletes for years.
Unlike the golden boys who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, Joe and I toiled in the dust and dirt begging, borrowing, and stealing our way to get our equipment.
I canβt begin to count the number of people I have spoken with that have told me the same exact thing β their budgets these days are just not big enough to pay the prices equipment companies are asking for their equipment.
For a new trainer or a strength enthusiast with limited resources, it can be damn hard to scrape up the money to put together a respectable collection of equipment.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
Joe and I have built our garage gyms from the ground up.
Recently, we put our heads together and we came up with a list of equipment that we knew how to make ourselves.
We decided we were going to give back to the people that have been so supportive of us over the years and show you all how to make your own Home Made Strength Equipment, with the HOME MADE STRENGTH ONLINE DVD.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
BREAK THROUGH: Finally, you no longer have to struggle to pay for equipment or deal with a guilty conscience for buying the equipment you need in your training.
β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β β
This is the information the equipment companies donβt want you to know.
β Never scrounge around for nickels and dimes to pay for your equipment again.

Never hock your precious possessions in order to get money for new lifting gear again.

Never apply for an extra part-time job to pay for a new training device.
