"I was safe the entire time, wasn't I?" Katie slowly asks, "I'm not trying to be cocky or anything, I'm just asking."
Lane rolls his eyes as if it should already be obvious, looking back out onto the damp woods in annoyance. "What do you...

Two black and one white Cadillac drives into the downtown side of Kirk Creek. Katie cuddles her lover's chest in the backseat of their new vehicle. The crime lord slightly shivers from the lack of extra layers. He had thrown their clothes into the washer with new laundry detergent and hot water to "kill" the fleas, including his signature wool coat.
"I'm sorry about your coat." Katie says in a small voice.
"It'll be washed and parasite free when we get back." Lane smirks down at her warmly, his arm holding her close to him for warmth. "What does the princess want to eat for her dinner?"
Katie thinks for a moment. "How about chicken nuggets?"
"Burgers and nuggets it is, then." The blue eyed man smirks, nodding as he looks down at his dark pants. "I want to go into one of these stores and get you your own coat."
Katie fake pouts. "Okay, I guess I won't have an excuse to cuddle you anymore..."
He lifts her chin with a warm smile, his blue eyes slanted lazily. "You always have an excuse to cuddle me."
Axel fails to hide his happy smile as he is forced to listen in on the conversation in the backseat. He parks the white Cadillac on the curbside of the road where it's legal to park. The two black Cadillac's park along side the curb a few cars behind. The lover's share a small smooch before Katie climbs out of the car first. Lane catches Axel smiling in the rear view mirror.
The crime lord furrows his brows at him. "What the hell are you smiling about?"
"I don't want to be on your bad side, Boss...but Miss Fairfield has you wrapped around her little finger." The tattooed man says with a small smile, "It's kind of sweet."
"Well, don't wait for me to kiss you anytime soon." Lane rolls his eyes and climbs out of the car with a scowl on his smooth face. "You'll be disappointed."
Axel softly chuckles, nodding down at the stirring wheel as he turns the car off. He's such a tough guy with a gooey center.
Lane walks around the Cadillac, putting his round shades on and grabs his lover's hand. Rebel and Cassie quickly catch up and walk closely behind the couple. Katie looks over her shoulder and smiles at her friends. Suddenly, the suitcase in Rebel's hands catches the blonde's green eyes.
"What's that for?" Katie arches her right brow.
"Well, I'm going to try and sell my clothes and buy new ones." Rebel looks to Lane, who stares at her as they walk. "If...If that's okay with you, Boss?"
"Whatever." Lane looks ahead, shrugging. "It's not my personal choice."
Relief fills Rebel, who softly smiles. "I'm going to let Cassie wear some of my clothes, considering we're practically the same size."
They approach a shopping boutique called Marley's. Everyone in the gang walks into the store, turning several heads in the store. Lane clears his throat and pulls Katie along, leaving Rebel and Cassie at the cash register.
Lane gathers the two coats that he had picked out for Katie to wear, a brown trench coat with black buttons to match his and a pink suede moto jacket. He heads to the register.
Katie wonders the shop to find her two friends, who sold all of Rebel's clothes at the counter. The blonde finds her two friends in the bottoms isle.
"Hey, guys." Katie walks up with a smile, seeing the few clothes in Cassie's noddle like arms. "Whoa! What's that?"
Katie takes the rusty, autumn orange colored sweater in her hands. She sees black denim jeans and a red sweater. The blonde looks to the mixed girl, whose searching through the skirts.
"May I ask why your changing your style all of a sudden? This isn't like you." The blonde says curiously, folding the sweater.
Rebel doesn't answer for a few minutes, but eventually nods. "The only reason why I started wearing black and dyed the tips of my hair pink was because of Lola and Margo. They pressured me to be like them...well, Margo pressured Lola and I to be like her. Now that Margo is gone and Lola is trying to be the trampiest whore in all of Washington State, I just want a change. A healthy change."
Katie nods in understanding. "So what else is new?"
"I'm going to take the pink out and put orange highlights in my hair." Rebel shrugs, "I'm tired of looking like a slut and knowing that I look like a slut. I want to be...I want to be decent, ya know?"
The blonde nods slowly. "Not really, but I think your trying to do something healthy for yourself."
Rebel looks over her shoulder, standing in her tippy toes at Rebel from tree racks over. The mixed girls voice drops to a whisper.
"Lola's going to try and cheat on Frankie tonight." Katie's eyes widen at the news, "She copied me and sold her clothes too so she can find something that will attract Elijah."
Cassie shakes her head, pushing her glasses up her face. "S-She's asking for it b-bad!"
"Shhh!" Rebel hisses at the redhead, "She's even talking about dying her hair velvet red cause when Cassie here begged me to ask him what his favorite color was, he said red. Whatever."
Katie looks to the redhead with a knowing smile. She sings as she speaks. "Elijah likes the color red because of a certain girl with auburn locks."
"Shut up!" Cassie lightly shoves the blonde, blushing red as she pushes her glasses up her nose. "He wouldn't notice me anyways...I'm not blonde with big boobs."
Katie's mouth gaps open, looking down at her fairly sized bosoms. "They're not big! They're...it's the bra, okay? It's the bra!"
"Yeah, sure." The redhead rolls her eyes mischievously with a silly smile, "Kee-Keep telling yourself that, Hun."
Rebel chuckles, shaking her head as she takes a skirt off the rack. "Crazy asses."
