CHAPTER 12

Basic Black Jet

Hope is sound asleep in Bo�s arms, there is nothing but a thin sheet covering their naked bodies.

Bo lightly brushes a few stray hair from Hope�s face causing her to stir. He smiles before bending down and kissing her forehead. �I still can�t believe we�re going to have another little one.� He states softly as he places his hand on her stomach.

�I hope it�s a girl.� Hope mumbles.

�Hey sleepyhead, I didn�t mean to wake you.�

Trying to adjust her eyes. �What time is it?�

�It�s time for you to close those pretty eyes of yours and go back to sleep.�

Looking around the room. �Oh we�re still on the jet aren�t we?�

He rubs the side of her face and whispers �Go back to sleep.�

She looks up at him. �Have you gotten any sleep?�

�If I were sleeping I wouldn�t be able to watch you sleep, now would I?�

She rubs the side of his face. �If Georgia�s alive Bo, we will find her.�

�I don�t want you to think about that right now.� He bends down and kisses her cheek. �All I want you to do is close your eyes and get some more sleep.�

�I am tired.�

Laughing but demanding. �Then go to sleep.�

A few hours have pasted as Bo slips his body out from hers and pulls on his jeans. He walks over to a nearby cabinet and pulls out a blanket. Carefully, as to not wake her, he places the blanket on Hope�s body.

His phone rings, causing him to run and get it before she awakes. �Brady.�

�Hey Bo it�s Patrick.�

�What do you want Lockhart?�

�I was wondering if you�ve heard from Billie.�

Bo looks back at Hope and then walks towards the cockpit. Angrily �What do you mean have I heard from Billie, I thought she was with you?�

Worried �She�s not with you?�

�Lockhart if something�s happened to her.�

�Calm down I�m sure she�s fine.�

�How the hell did you lose her?�

�After you and Hope left somebody slipped a note under our door. It said they knew where Georgia was and if we ever wanted to find her we needed to come now�.or we�d never see her alive again.�

Yelling. �Why didn�t you call me then?�

There�s a moment of silence.

�Billie didn�t want Hope involved.�

�Hope is my wife and weather Billie likes it or not she�s already involved.�

Hope walks up behind him, wrapped in nothing more then the thin sheet, and places her arms around him.

�Where are you?�

�I�m just down the road a bit I�ll come to you.�

�No Hope and I are going to�..Lockhart, Lockhart!�

�What is it Bo?�

He throws the phone across the room. �That bastard just hung up on me.�

�Bo you need to calm down and tell me what�s wrong.�

�I told you that man couldn�t be trusted.�

�What happened?�

�Billie�s missing.�

�What do you mean she�s missing?�

�Lockhart said they got another lead and they ���.�

Cutting him off. �Did they find anything?�

�I don�t know, he didn�t say.�

Walking up to him and trying her best to reassure him. �Brady I�m sure Billie�s okay� she was probably just upset because the lead turned out to be another  hoax and she needed to be alone�

He gives her a dirty look.

�Or maybe she found another lead and went to check it out.�

�That�s what I�m worried about.�

�Bo she�s a ISA agent, she can take care of herself. You really need to give her more credit.�

�This coming from the woman who yells at me every chance she gets, that Billie doesn�t think before she acts and because of it almost gets me killed.�

She bits her bottom lip.

�Save it Hope.�

Patrick walks in.

�Bo runs over and grabs him by the shirt. �What the hell have you done to her.�

Stepping between the two of them and pushing him back. �Bo stop. This isn�t going to get us anywhere.�

Patrick places his hands on Hope�s shoulders. �Thanks Hope.�

�Get your hands off my wife.�

Patrick holds his hands up in the air. �Back off.�

He looks at Hope and then back at Lockhart. �Where�s Billie?�

�I don�t know.�

He walks towards him. �That�s not good enough.�

Hope puts her hands on Bo�s chest. �Bo, you need to calm down.�

�Bo, Bo I know where our daughter is?� Billie yells running onto the jet and into Bo�s arms.
