[b]Jessalyn - House - Floyd, Abram[/b]

Jess didn't want to leave Floyd alone, not with how badly he was hurt. She wished she had a gun right now.
"I don't want to leave you," she told him. "But I understand. I'll listen to you. But please, be careful."

She hurried up the stairs, but stayed at the top within sight of the door. If anything happened to him...
Her heart was pounding in her throat. She held her breath as he opened the door. The black man was big and had a gun. What if he decided to attack? With Floyd hurt, would he be any match for the stranger?
If the man did attack Floyd, what would she do?

If he attached her Floyd, she'd make him regret it.
[i]Her Floyd...[/i]
That was what he had become. He was her Floyd. He was her protector, her provider, her friend and would be her baby's father figure.
And he was the man she was falling in love with.

She was brought from her thoughts, and her blushing face, by the man answering Floyd.
He just wanted a place to stay for the night? That wasn't asking a lot. But what if he was just trying to get inside the house? Then when he saw what they had he would attack them.
But he did offer to empty his weapon. And he had food. Food was important because they didn't have much of it. She wondered if he had medical supplies too. Floyd was going to need some as he recovered.

[b]Katie - Laundry Room - Emma[/b]

Katie peered up at Emma. Her tummy did feel empty...
But no, she couldn't. Bull was locked up. He needed food too.

"Can we bring some to Bull?" she asked, her pleading eyes staring into Emma's.

In a short time Katie was bouncing happily up the stairs, a small roll with cheese in it I her hand. It wasn't much, but she didn't want to take too much from these people. They were strangers after all.
Emma followed behind her, telling her to slow down and that they had to be quick in case someone came along.

Katie threw open the door. "Bull! I'm here! I brought you-!" her excited words were cut off when she saw a man there with Bull. He did not look nice.
[i]"Where is Tyler?"[/i]
Katie frowned and stomped towards the man. "Don't talk about my daddy," she said, well more like demanded. "He went away. Like my mommy did."
She was angry at this man for making her remember. She looked at Bull, tugging on his arm. "Bull? Are you okay? Bull?" she frowned up at the man. "Don't you hurt Bull. He didn't do anything bad."

Emma came forward, trying to stop her from talking. Emma was afraid of this man.
Katie stuck her chin out stubbornly. "Who are you?" she asked. "Why are you being scary? It's not nice."
