Deanna waited until they got back to the house before she began to really look at Max. He was acting so weird when they were at the house that she was slightly confused. Max had been the one who rolled with everything that had happened and even the one who was pushing to get married quickly. Though he said it was to protect her, she knew it was so much more that he wanted. He wanted to secure his family, but the look on his face at his parent's house despite the fact he seemed different now was still bothering her.“I say we burn them,” Max said as he lifted the last huge bin of letters that was left at their door. “Who really cares about the money anymore?”“Well, considering we are bringing in about five to six thousand every day now, I would say the charity,” Deanna stated as she looked them over. “Max, I can

 As Max walked around the green field next to the building, he taught out of watching Henry run around looking for his newest rock that would be exactly like the others he had collected and kept by his travel bed in Max’s office. Max thought about how his life had changed so much in the past few weeks. He never thought it was possible to be this content in life.Michelle, wrapped in a blanket in his arms, started to make some noise as she seemed to smile at Max. “And what are you so happy about, princess?” he asked softly at the baby.“Professor?” Max heard and turned to see a female student in front of him. He hadn’t ever seen her before, but she was looking at him the same way the others had that had made a bet with each other about trying to get him into a situation.“Henry, come here,” Max said as he reached d

  As they pulled up to the house, his parents lived in Max was quickly out of the car. He was undoing the car seats and buckles. He looked up to see his father standing there with a slight grin on his face. “Twice in as many weeks?” Mitchel asked as he looked at the pair unloading the car.“There is a problem, and we need you to watch these two for a while. Hopefully, it will only take a few hours, but I am not sure.” Max said as he stood up and had Michelle free from the base of the car seat, and Deanna had Henry in her arms. The bags that they normally had for the school were also on the ground.“What’s going on?” Marie asked as she saw the pair and the expressions on their faces.“Someone tried to get to Deanna while we were at the school,” Max said flatly. “We have to

  Deanna looked around here as the entire group of people that were in the room a few minutes ago were in the parking lot getting in different cars. They had a few different ways to get to the area, and then they would hike to the house and wait for some sort of movement. Two other units were going on a hunting trip to see if they could find the other person involved for some questioning and to hold him on his outstanding warrants. This simple favor Max had asked for was growing by the minute.Despite the growing nature of this, Deanna felt oddly calm as she looked toward Max. She knew half of the reason she had been on edge lately wasn’t because of this or the letters though they had taken a toll on her. She would never deny that. The fact he was so accepting of everything that had to do with her and their lives together was something she would never really understand. He

  As soon as they were sure they had everyone and everything they needed at that point, they went back to the station to make a quick plan to go out and round up all of her siblings and their children as well. Though Deanna knew this was going to be a long night, she also knew she had to be there when everyone was brought in. She had to see their faces as they found out they were all caught up in this scheme. This wasn’t like one of the childhood larks they would all often get into together. This was her life.Nothing was ever going to be the same for her again. There would be literary no one from her family left if this ended up being true. If they all had a hand in a plot to go after her, she would never be able to move on from that. Deanna knew this was not really their fault to a point, but at the same time, they were all adults. They had the choice to walk away and hav
