As Tirzah makes it to the house she notices Alysa's car parked in the garage. Laken finally gets there after tracking down the address on the gps. Hand gestures went back and forth between the two vehicles. A strategic plan was made and Tirzah got out and met up with Laken behind a shed. Laken whispers to Tirzah's ear " You go to the back of the building and my guys will be in the front. Sound like a good idea?"
She turns and softly answers" Sure"
Laken gets his guys hidden in the front and Tirzah quietly heads on over to the back of the place waiting. The back door creaked open with a face poking through the crack scanning the yard for any intruders. The being stepped out the door wearing a face cover.
Suddenly Tirzah from the bush bolts out takes the human down to the hard cement ground. She pulls the hand cuffs out of her pocket trying to hold the person down at the right position. The mask rubs off the face and Tirzah finally clicked one cuff in and the other from the back.
" Lynn?"
" Oh Tirzah, Tirzah you thought I  was Alysa who is long gone from here. Nice try catching her. Kaemon is a lame one to fall for Alysa's ultimate goal." Lynn smiles back at Tirzah.
Tirzah digs a pocket knife out an d slowly slices a cut into Lynn's arm calmly threatening " I know no one wants a cut in some ones arm don't ya. I almost want to damage your precious vein unless you tell me where the bitch went."
Lynn laughs and screams in pain refusing to answer Tirzah's simple remark.
Laken runs over and pulls Tirzah from behind away from Lynn. " Why are you harming Lynn Tirz? I can't believe you would do such a thing. She isn't even Alysa. Did she tell you where Alysa is?:
Lynn spits at Tirzah " Yea Tirzah why did you want to hurt inoccent me? Oh that's right you aren't nice to anyone bitch. All those verbal threats won't help you for any reason at all."

Laken grabs Tirzah and yells at Drake behind, " Take Lynn to your vehicle and keep her their until I get back." Tirzah pulls her arm away from Laken's wrist hold and rolls her eyes while they walk to the cars. Laken gestures to her to his truck and she follows behind him. Both hop into the idle truck with no words to say to eachother. Tirzah abruptly opens the door and Laken gets a hold on her forearm to stay. He looks at her briefly and remarks " I...I want to talk to you for a second privately." 

Tirzah replies, " Why do you want a conversation with someone who technically hates you for your cold personality. The thing I most want to acomplish right now is to perminantly mark Lynn's valulable arm to make her pay for what she told me."

Laken chuckles with half a smile on his face. 

" Oh really Laken, don't laugh at me for what occured with me and Lynn. That is not acceptable in my..." Laken pulls her into his chest and smashes his lips into her's. She trys to escape the closeness between her and him, but her feeling of calmness leaning on his chest gives her ease. He gently manuvers so she could push back up into the passenger seat. The shock Tirzah face shows isn't fear, but surprise of what just took place between her and Laken. " I...I didn't mean to do that to you Tirzah. I had adrenaline in my system and wanted to kiss you. I am so sorry." 

Tirzah doesn't comment and sits in the passenger seat frozen staring straight ahead out the wind shield. Laken sighs and gets out of the truck to check on the guys and Lynn. As he approaches the cars Lynn glanced over at Laken. He grabs the arm she was cut on and unwrapped the wound to see a deep laceration freshly open which requires stitches. Laken calls over Angelo to grab out of the back of his truck an emergency stitch kit. Once the. equipment is out and Laken injects a numbing solution to the wound and Lynn crys in pain. All the dudes looked away from Lynn who had tears rolling down her face ruining her eyeliner and makeup plastered on her face. Once the stitches were all sewn up Lynn pinches Laken's arm hard for a pay back. He exclaims " What was that for Lynn! I helped you close the deep wound that would've gotten infected!"

Lynn laughs at Laken from his loud reaction towards her being. " You know Laken I will not help you search for Alysa because she deserves time with Kaemon. I believe that Alysa has made great efforts to keep Kaemon from your cult."

Laken smirks back at Lynn," You think we're a bad cult group. If you believe that then your wrong. Alysa's group is the Christian cult who thinks they run the entire world which isn't holy in no sense. Guess what Lynn Alysa won't get away with what she has created starting that one night. Since I am the leader of this group I will do anything I can to bring justice to Conner who Alysa purposely killed for her own little reasons." 

Laken tells Drake to uncuff Lynn's hand cuffs because Lynn is no use for the groups search. Lynn walks away towards the house disappearing through the sliding glass door. As urgently as she can grabs her phone and calls Alysa who answers the phone. " So Lynn what happened? Did you kick Laken's ass today? Tell me!"

" Um..first off Tirzah did a football tackle on me to the cement and nicely sliced my freaken arm deep enough to require stitches. Thank god Laken yanked her away from me before anymore damage she could've made on my arm. Laken was willing to close the wound up without a problem. I want to reassure you that they didn't get shit from me of where your located, so thats good news." 

" Good, good that you kept my promise and stand strong. Thank goodness I trusted my instinct and left your house to pick up Kaemon from the apartment a day ago. Me and Kaemon are enjoying the tropical scenery and view of the coastline snorting some clean cocaine right now so I should go and not interrupt with what your doing. Keep me posted."

Lynn hung her cell phone up and peeked out the window and saw the group left. She hummed in a happy tone towards the kitchen to have her evening beer. Hiding below the living room open window Tirzah was squatting listening to the whole conversation between them and subtly moved to relieve her joints from the awkward position to hear if Lynn was leaving. Unfortunately Lynn sat out on her mini porch which ruined the chance for Tirzah to check the inside for any clues. Tirzah as quiet as she could left the house jumping into Quinn's car. 

At the hotel Quinn and Tirzah lay on the bed decompressing on the whole day that flew by. Tirzah crys letting her emotions out by Quinn. Tirzah has Quinns hand on her shoulder supporting her. Quinn asks, " What happened? I know you sliced Lynn's arm but why are you crying?" 

" I don't know if I can be with Laken anymore. He forcefully kissed me in his truck without permission. The weird part is that he actually had a calm energy eventhough he can be a complete asshole at times." Tirzah with a sad tone replied. 

" Girl don't feel sorry about kissing that handsome man. You know he wouldn't get that close to any woman except you. He sees something in you that yourself can't notice. Even myself I had a feeling after Conner's passing he'll be your support system. Just please keep your growing relationship to yourself because I'm gonna get myself a guy from the group." Quinn humorously said. 

In the next room over to the right Laken, Drake and Angelo slumped over on the beds until Laken awakens looking tired from the day. He gets up and takes a beer from the mini fridge to take outside on the wooden bench sitting in a grassy area. He says to himself " I need to give something back to Tirzah because of my own mistake of surprising her." He sits on the bench comfortably watching the little bit of sunlight before the dark sky is seen above. Insects like crickets sing in the grass like a choir. A brief dog barks from a far distance echoing through the buildings. A bright flame emerges from a fire pit surrounded by people across the street from the hotel lot. Laken finishes his beer and turns to see Tirzah opening her door walking out to him. He trys to avoid her by diagonally walking away from his room to the red truck. Tirzah yells " Why are you running away from me silly. I'm over it. Come and lets chat."

He turns his head a few times to the truck and Tirzah, but decides to be with Tirzah.  Him and Tirzah sit on the wood bench rambling about the crazy day. His left hand grazes over her arm and neck. His gentle touch moving her hair to the side noticing the scar. 

" Your scar still shows to this day." he said.

" I know people who ask about it takes me back to that unpleasent moment of feeling scared. You know the story, so anyway I just want to know why you wanted to kiss me. I have seen you with girls from a distance, but why me be the one who you choose?" She asked looking into his eyes. 

" Personally I made a mistake over stepping my own boundaries. You are a beautiful lady and I again am sorry. I know you are still recovering from losing Conner, but I will support you through this tough time we're all experiencing." He slides his wrist and hand to link with her's reassuring Tirzah he really means it. After both of them watch the night sky they part to their rooms so no one will know they are a growing relationship.
