"I'm glad you guys got to stop by." I tell Dakota, the next morning, as he and Harry load up in his car. "It's no problem." Dakota said. "I'm glad you got to meet my friends." I said. "You mean your two friends and your boyfriend?" Dakota asked me and I give him a confused look. "What?" I asked and he laughs.

"I recognize that school girl smile you make whenever you saw a guy you really liked." Dakota said and I scoff. "I do not have a school girl smile." I said, defensively. "Uh, yeah, you do." He said. "Plus, I also noticed you kept stealing glances at Beau." And I scoff again then raise my hands up. No matter how hard I try, I could never lie or hide the truth from him.

"Fine! Okay, yes, I do find him attractive!" I admit and Dakota smiles laughs. "Aww, my baby sister has a crush." He teases as he ruffles my hair. "I am gonna punch you!" I threatened and he laughs. "You'll have to do that some other time. Harry and I need to hit the road if we wanna get to the camp by lunchtime." Dakota said as he gets into his car.

"You two be careful. And call me if anything happens." I tell him and he nods. "Will do." He said. "Bye, Aunt (y/n)!" Harry calls out. "Bye, Harry! Love you guys!" I said as Dakota starts the engine. "Love you too!" They said and they back out of my driveway and head off.

"Hoyt! (L/n)! Oh, you two gotta try this!" Beau said, happily, to us as he holds up a sandwich, Poppernak standing next to him after we walk in. "It's from the Blue Fox Diner. It's a new menu item. I'm sort of the beta tester." Poppernak said and Jenny gives them a look. "Please tell me that's not true." She said, getting upset.

"What, is there some sort of health-code violation I need to know about?" Beau asked, worried, as he looks between Jenny and Poppernak. "No." Poppernak said and I look over at Jenny. "Isn't that Tonya's place?" I asked her and she nods.

"Copy that. Your mortal enemy. Well, she makes a damn good sandwich." Beau said as he eats on the sandwich. "No. Tonya doesn't make anything. It's her bearded lapdog, Donno." Jenny grumbles, annoyed. "Well, not for nothing, but that guy's got skills." Beau said. "Everybody has their own unique gift." Poppernak said, smiling.

"Tonya and Donno are criminals." Jenny said, angrily. "No, I heard they went legit, so until you have something that proves otherwise, I don't see why we can't enjoy some tasty sandwiches." Beau chuckles and I shake my head, laughing.

"Tonya worked for a drug cartel, one that killed people. Legit, my ass! I'm gonna get you proof." Jenny rants at him as Beau looks down and clears his throat while I heard footsteps behind us. I look over and see one of the officers had brought Tonya in. "Uh, Jenny..." I said as Jenny said, angrily. "I'm gonna lock her up."

I place my hands on her shoulder and spin her around to see that Tonya was here. "Got a visitor." The officer tells us then she walks away while Tonya smiles at us. "Before you lock me up...can you help me with something?" Tonya asked, sweetly. "What can we do for ya?" Beau asked her.

"I've got a squatter on one of my properties." Tonya said while I noticed that Jenny looked annoyed. "Okay. Hoyt, why don't you see if you can help her out?" Beau asked her and Jenny turns to him, giving him the death glare. "Law's the law. We don't get to choose who we help. Right? Except for me. I get to choose. Cassie called, and (l/n) and I are gonna
help her with something, so..." Beau said then he gestures for Poppernak and Jenny to go.

Jenny and I share a look before her and Poppernak walk off while Tonya smiles and walks away. "I think you probably made it on Jenny's punch list." I said to Beau, smiling, and he shrugs and heads over to his office and I follow.

"Wow! Look at this place, Dad!" Harry said, excitedly, as he and Dakota walk towards the entrance of the campsite. It was pretty decent size with several large tents scattered around and a fire pit in the middle. "Yeah, this is a nice place." Dakota said once they get into the camp area and a red haired woman, Sunny Barnes, comes up to them, smiling.
