Monica just like about weeks ago ready to give it all up but she realized she's happy with her family. But one thing that's been puzzling her is Detective Olivia Reese. She's been asking Joe to the station a lot and it puzzles her where do they stand with the case of this mystery stalker. All of a sudden as Monica is flipping pancakes the news report that the daycare her kids go to have went up in flames. 

Monica rushes to the television and turns the TV up. It was great news that all of the kids were out and to a local hospital and she rushes to the hospital. By the time she found Malia's room Joe already had her in his arms soothing her. Joe, "She's fine."

Malia just was saying how cool the trucks were. Monica just smiled that her child was okay and unbothered. They headed home. When they got home Monica asked Joe about the case. Joe told her there wasn't much

 Monica, "That's all she have. My uncle spent months getting all this crap together---

Joe, "Mo, it's a whole nother case."

Monica,"Yeah. But it's the same people "

Joe, "We don't know that."

Monica, "How can you be so sure?"

Joe, "Look all of those people died." 

Monica, "No some got away."

Joe, "From the police, maybe?"

Joe finished washing dishes and headed to the shower. Monica follows him, "And what does that mean?" Joe didn't respond he just went to sleep. 

Nightmare:Man, "YOU THOUGHT I WAS DEAD DIDN'T YOU MOTHERFUCKA!!!" [BANG!BANG!] 

Joe pops up as the gun shots flared from his nightmare. Monica rolled onto Joe's chest as he laid down and he drifted back off to sleep. The next morning Joe scheduled a picnic for the two which got canceled due to a disgreement. Monica broke the news that after the baby she's finishing her clinicals and working at the hospital. Joe didn't like it. They argued. Joe didn't feel it was safe for her to do with some wild crazy killer stalker on the loose. 

Monica, "Well if this dective was so good than why haven't she caught this person? Why should I have to live my life walking on eggshells?! You go out."

Joe, "For security reasons to make sure this case stays a priority. WE, OUR FAMILY stay a priority to the authorities."

Monica, "Whatever. Malia and Destin let's go get ice cream. Hurry down." Malia runs in the kitchen with her shoes in her hands excited for ice cream. She hands it to her dad so he can put her shoes on. He tells her how much her love and will always protect her. She nods and giggles as he tickles her.

Joe heads off to the police station to see Dective Reese. 

Detective Reese, "Well from what you tell me about your girlfriend and her past----

Joe, "Wife."

Detective Reese continues with a chuckle at Joe's correction,"That just a bad case of her father and ex going psycho. Kinda like a family, ex man duel. Sounds like this all started with her mom being a little whore and selfish."

Joe, "You're out of line."

Detective Reese, "Then the curse trickled down to her daughter. Your good ol'three seonds in Vegas wife."

Joe leaves pissed off wanting to take Reese head off but two things was wrong with that one she was a woman and two she was a cop. And they can't afford no more enemies or strife. 

-----------------------------          ---------------------------          --------------------------

As Joe was leaving Detective Reese office and heads to the parking lot, speeding white Surburban rushes past him with a guy yelling out the window, "I'm going to kill you!!!!!" Joe gets in his car to follow but they was already gone. And he remember Detective Reese taking his gun. 

As Monica was driving home with the kids a white Surburban truck hits her car from behind and the kids starts screaming snd crying as it happens a third, fourth and fifth time. Monica was chased for ten minutes until she finally got away. The Surburban had flipped six times. And Monica felt realized but still so anxious. 

She called Joe and told them and he got them a flight to Houston, TX where Joe rented an apartment. 

They sat at the dinner table after the kids went to sleep. Joe, "Babe, we can't live like this." Monica, "I know.... what are we going to do?"

Joe, "If I have to play some street guy to find out what's going on that I will. Like undercover except for I ain't no cop."

Monica, "Joe, no. We're here in Houston and no one knows where we are."

Joe, "Don't be naive baby. I'm pretty sure they'll be searching for us again. And that's when their ass is mine. Let's go to bed."

Monica and Joe fell into bed that night making love. He caressed and kissed her curves and paid so much attention to her body making sure she was pleased and felt wanted and desired. They both went to sleep satisfied and safe. 

Three months later... Joe, Monica and the kids was still in Houston. And for three days a car been following Joe. 

Day 4: Joe stops the car in the middle of the road with his gun on his hip. Joe, "WHAT THE FUCK YOU FOLLOWING ME FOR?!" The person rolled the window down and it reveals an old lady, "I'm sorry sure. We live in the same apartment building and I take the same route as you to get home."

Joe felt horrible, "I'm sooooooo sorry ma'am. My name is Joe and I work at the mechanic shop.  Come by if you need any work done."

Old lady, "My name is Wilma. Welcome to Houston and I'm sorry for startling you and I could use some brakes."

Joe, "Yes ma'am. I'll be in at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." 

Joe arrives home getting undressed. Monica, "How did you like the mechanic shop. And why the mechanic shop?" As she was talking Joe's gun fell to the floor, "Please tell me you didn't use that thing."

Joe, "No why are you so paranoid?"

Monica sarcastically,"My husband carries around three guns and bullets and I shouldn't be nervous at all."

Joe, "You got yours right?"

Monica, "Yes Joe."

Joe, "I know it's a little extreme but I just want you to be safe and be protected when I'm not around." 

Monica, "I will. I have Jesus."

Joe give Monica a foot massage as she heads off to sleep as their babies kicks and will be there in less than two months. 

----------------------             ------------------------               ---------------------------

The next day Joe arrived to the mechanics shop on time "RED'S SHOP" or Houston people call it Big Red's. Ms. Wilma was on time and Joe fixed her  brakes. Around 2 o'clock that afternoon. Three girls pull up in a year old Lexus. First girl (driver) Lola, second girl (passenger) Makena and theird girl (back seat) Nora. 

The smiling Nora walked up to Joe and introduced herself, "Hi, are you the mechanic?"

Joe, "Yes ma'am I am."

Nora, "Great. My friend is having some troubles with her car. I think it's her temperature gauge and I want to buy her some new rims for her birthday." 

Joe, "That's very nice of you. I'll check the car out. Are you guys I mean ladies going to wait if you decide to get work done or are you going to leave?"

Lola rolls her eyes at the idea of staying, "Girl no ain't nobody staying. I have a birthday to celebrate."

Nora, "Ain't nobody tell you to wait until your birthday to get your car fixed. And the man is a man, not Jesus. It can't happen all in a snap of a finger."

Lola makes faces behind Nora's but catches a look at Joe and likes what she's seeing. Lola walks closer, "I'm just going to call Jeremiah to pick us up."

Nora, "That drug dealer?"

Lola, "He's not a drug dealer. Anyways and I'll give you my number and you can call me when it's all done."

Ten minutes later this guy Jeremiah rolls up and hops out. Lola walks over and he put his arm around her. But when he gets a look at Joe he just stops and stares for a while. Then leaves. Nora looks back at Joe as she leaves liking him as well.
