Beth 

Baby Lyssa was sound asleep in the backseat. 

Duane Lee had let her lay out on him. 

He smiled. 

"What you thinking about back there?" 

"How peaceful she looks in her sleep. Like nothing can touch her or hurt her." 

"Sleep is the only time DV victims are not constantly in fear. The only place they can go to escape it all." 

"I see that." 

I reached the Mexico border. 

"Time to work your magic, Baby Lyssa!" 

Lyssa groaned. 

"I hate early mornings." She complained. 

Baby Lyssa slid out of the car. 

She shut the door. 

Lyssa 

I crossed the border. 

I had the comms in my ears. 

They were covered by my long blonde hair. 

"According to Duane's intel, Luster is at Samuel's Bar." 

"Got it." 

Bo

Leland and Duane were listening to the radio. 

"According to Duane's intel, Luster is at Samuel's Bar." 

"Got it." 

"You think he's gonna blow it?" 

"He better not. This Bounty is bigger then Lyssa and Beth. This guy poses a danger to all females. Not just the ones closest to us." 

"We put Beth and Lyssa on his hit list." 

"If that were true, Luster would be in Hawaii." 

"He's gaining the confidence to go after two badass female Bounty Hunters." 

"He preys on the weak. Baby Lyssa and Beth are the opposite of weak." 

"Can I count on you two to answer questions if need be?" 

"We got your back, Baby Lyssa." 

"You're just lucky I took Spanish instead of Latin in High School." 

Duane chuckled. 

"So, you'll be able to fit in." 

"Though I'm not as tan as I'd hoped I would be." 

"Mm." 

"But I'll fit in." 

"Good." 

"Yeah." 

Lyssa 

I walked into Samuel's Bar. 

Bo 

"Slight problem." 

"What?" 

"Luster isn't attracted to married women." 

"No." 

"Lyssa, you have the looks. Do you have the guts to be a Bounty hunter?" 

"I can't do that." 

"Why not?" 

"My ring is stuck on my finger. It doesn't even wiggle!" 

"Wow. Some commitment."
