Branch confronts Marco/Sunset. Poppy talks with Creek to get more out of him, and she is so close to freeing Branch. Will passion take over Broppy or will something prevent them from being together.

The next morning the inmates were busy doing whatever they could do. Branch was in his cell thinking when Ryan came in.

''Hey Branch, you ok?'' He asked.

''Yeah.'' Branch replied.

''I'm here if you need to talk.'' Ryan said looking at him.

''Thanks, but I'm fine.'' Branch said.

Later Branch went to Sunset's cell and stood in the doorway. ''You can drop the act now. I know who you really are Sunset... or should I say Marco.'' Branch said arms folded.

He half expected Sunset to come over denying it and starting a fight but he just lifted his head.

''Who?'' Marco asked faking.

''I know who you really are Sunset, you're Marco the guy I beat in bowling who set me up with that girl and got me locked in here.'' Branch accused.

Marco stood up and walked over standing face to face with Branch. ''Move. I don't know who you're talking about, I'm Sunset not Marco.'' He shoved Branch to the side.

''I know you Sunset or should I say Marco, you distracted me, killing my grandma, the you got the dumbass lawyer Creek to help cover it up. And I have proof.'' Branch bluffed.

Sunset stopped and froze. ''Really? So if I did all of this to lock you up then why am I here?'' Marco asked.

''To keep an eye on me.'' Branch said arms folded.

The bigger troll turned and smirked at him. ''Ok, so you figured me out, I guess that means I have to kill you.'' Marco threatened.

''If you do that who do you think they'll come after if you kill me?'' Branch challenged.

They didn't know that Ryan was in the next cell and heard the whole thing.

''They couldn't prove it, besides with you out of the way Poppy will be all mine and where will you be? 10 feet under that's where.'' Marco taunted.

Branch looked at him grinning. ''You're scared. You know what's going on and its only a matter of time before they find out, with or without my help giving that your going to court... But know this...''

Branch pushes Marco to the wall of his cell. ''Touch Poppy or do anything to hurt her I will get revenge, I may not have been able to save my grandma from you, but I will save Poppy no matter what happens to me.'' Branch said lowly letting go of Sunset and left.

''We'll see who gets the last laugh.'' Marco said frowning.

*************
Poppy made her way to the courthouse, walking in and stopping outside of Creek's office sighing. She was nervous but had to do it as she knocked on the door.

''Come in.'' Called a voice.

Poppy walked into the big office and saw Creek sitting in his chair at his desk on his phone, he looked up surprised to see her.

''Poppy.'' He said standing and going over to her.

''Hi Creek.'' She smiled and hugged him.

''Pleasure, what brings you here?'' He asked.

''Well, I was curious do you have any files on a Marco?'' Asked going closer to him.

''Marco? No can't say I have.'' Creek said feeling his blood run cold.

''Please, I only bring it up because my client Branch brought up the name and I swear I've heard that name before please.'' She made puppy eyes and ran a finger up his arm.

Creek gulped and bit his lip, as the pink beauty leaned over. ''Please Creek.''

He looked at her. ''Alright Poppy, stay here I'll go see if I have any.'' He said as he left.

Poppy made sure the camera was off and she started looking though his computer and she typed in the name Marco, she got 6 results, using her jump drive to download the files only she heard the door shake and she saw it was done downloading and she went back to the chair sitting and saw Creek come in.

''Sorry Poppy, I can't find any files of a Marco here, but I talked to a friend who said that the files of a Marco are in another town and you should go there. Here is the address.'' He gave it to Poppy.

''Oh thank you Creek!'' She hugged him.

He hugs back. ''Sorry I couldn't be much more help.''

''It's alright, it's so nice to see you again.'' She kisses his cheek.

''You too.'' He said smiling.

''Say you want to go out next Friday?'' Asked Poppy. Knowing and hoping that Creek will be in jail by that time.

''Sure love.'' He went over and leaned on the door.

He leans in about to kiss Poppy only to feel something leathery on his lips and saw it was his briefcase as Poppy slipped out the door winking. ''Later.''

Creek was shocked but smirked and decided to pay Sunset a visit knowing that the diversion would keep Poppy busy.

***************
Branch was in his cell writing something down and didn't notice Marco behind him with a screwdriver, then Branch heard something and turned around in time to grab Marco's wrist fighting him trying to knock the screwdriver out of his hand.

''Give it up Branch.'' Marco growled shoving Branch to the ground and held up his screwdriver.

''HELP ME!'' Screamed Branch.

Just as Marco was about to bring it down, Branch kicked him in the gut sending him backwards as Hickory and Tresillo came in and got Marco off of Branch as he charged.

''What the hell is going on?'' Shouted Hickory.

''Branch was trying to kill me with that screwdriver.'' Sunset said nodding to the tool on the floor.

''Not true! You were gonna kill me!'' Branch shouted and charged at him.

He was held back Hickory. The guards looked at them.

''Enough of this!'' Tresillo said.

''I'm telling you I didn't do it, I was writing see.'' He showed them his small journal.

''So, tell me Sunset what are you doing over in Branch's cell?'' Asked Hickory.

He stayed quiet. ''That's it, Sunset you are confided to your cell for the rest of the day.'' Hickory said dragging him away.

*******************
Later Poppy was in her office when they door opened and in came Branch.

''Thank you Tresillo.'' Poppy said.

He nodded and left once he was gone Poppy wasted no time in hugging Branch as he hugged her back only to see him close to tears.

''Branch what's wrong?'' She asked cupping his face.

''I'm not going to survive. Marco almost killed me earlier.'' He said.

''No!'' Poppy hugged him.

''Poppy... I love you and want us to be together but I'm not sure we can, I might be dead.'' He said looking down.

She kisses him, this surprised Branch as he wraps his arms around her, kissing back passionately.

His hand went to her leg lifting it up as she tilted her head catching his lips as he lifts her up pinning her to the couch as they made out.

''Branch.'' she panted.

''P-Poppy w-we c-can't.'' He gasped wanting her more then anything and her stroking his face and neck wasn't helping.

''I want you Branch. I can't eat, or sleep or anything. I want you.'' She panted pulling him to her more.

He wanted this and looked at her moving a piece of hair from her face. She works on taking off his jumpsuit as he took off her blouse, she undid her bra throwing it to the floor. He kisses her more, he slipped a hand up her side and cupped her perky breasts groping them as he presses himself against her.

She moaned quietly and took off his boxers leaving him fully naked, she stared at him and loved what she saw.

''Oh, Branch your so...big.'' She gasped.

He looked at her and smirked. ''I guess.''

He pulls off her skirt and saw she was nude as he eyed her body. ''Damn Poppy your hot.''

''Take me Branch please... if this really is the last time which it won't I want to remember this.'' She begged kissing his chest.

He kisses her, climbing over her as she wrapped her arms around his neck, their lips met slowly.

She moans quietly, his hands took hers and moved them down his body. She rubbed his chest and stomach, he was so handsome and fit, he pushes into her as she gasped. Her arms around his waist as she whimpers.

He thrusts gently into her, moves to kiss her neck his lips moving slowly down her body teasingly.

The pink troll takes in his body and loved how they fit perfectly together. He takes all of her in biting her neck and kissing her lips again with more passion. His legs push up and down, if he was gonna die, he would die happy with this beauty moaning and wiggling under him.

Poppy moans as her tongue met his in a french kiss, she arches her back to reach more of him. Their fingers lace together.

''Oh Branch.'' She moans.

''Yes, Poppy.'' He kisses her.

After a few minutes they both came and were spent, after making out they sat up and got dressed.

''Branch I got some good news for you. Tonight and tomorrow I'm gonna get all the evidence on Marco and he should be locked away tomorrow evening.'' She said hugging him.

''Great Poppy, I love you.'' He kisses her.

''I love you too Branch and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you...'' She was sitting on his lap.

Her walkie went off. ''Poppy times up.'' Hickory said.

''Alright.'' She pulled off of her boyfriend and went to the door opening it.

''Alright Branch time to go back.'' Hickory said.

''Oh Hickory one moment.'' Poppy said.

''Hey Cooper can you take Branch back to his cell.'' Hickory said.

He turned to Poppy. ''So, you ready to tell what is going on?'' He asked.

''No, because nothing is going on yet... but keep Branch safe I heard about what happened and I'm worried.'' Poppy said taking his hand.

''I know we are locking Sunset up so it should be ok but I will keep an eye on Branch.'' Hickory said as he left.

Enjoy!
