Grace worked hard to stop the bleeding and save the boy, but her efforts were for nothing. The blood did not stop flowing no matter how hard she had pressed her hands onto the wound. Once she felt him take his last breath and go limp, the sirens arrived outside, and she could hear people screaming all around her. It was complete chaos. There were people scrambling around, and she could feel the panic slowly bubbling inside her, but her medical brain told her she needed to remain calm. The back of her hand moved up and wiped some sweat from her forehead shakily, and she climbed over the mountain of debris to the nurses station, where she found a few of her coworkers laying in their own blood.
The entrance of the ER was blown completely open, and there were police and fireman escorting patients as well as staff out of the building. Her hands and scrubs were completely covered in blood, and it was a little mortifying to see the carnage that came from the bomb. It was then that she was approached by a police officer, who immediately looked her over for any wounds before escorting her outside. She was silent for the most part, until she caught sight of a familiar figure, and she pulled her arm from the policeman's grasp and ran towards Orion. She ducked under the caution tape and immediately ran into his arms, not caring if she got any blood on him or not.

"WHAT?! SHUT DOWN!" There was the sound of footsteps and then Gloom appeared at the counter.
"Cadie, what are you doing here? Nevermind! Your in charge of locking down the place tonight! There was some sort of explosion at the hospital! You get your a*s to the Club ad stay there till we get back!" He warned as he tossed her the keys. She could not get a word in because he ran outside and was gone. She heard a few bikes rev then take off from outside.
"Ma'am, I think it will be a good idea for you to take your bike overnight. It seems we are closing early tonight. My apologies." She returned the woman's keys and handed her a card.
"Call in the morning to ensure we open on time. I use this garage to fix my vehicle, and I have no complaints. I have Killian do all my work. He is really great, they all are here. I just happen to personally know Killian and he has taken it upon himself to do all my work." Cadence smiled at the other woman.
She shut down the computer and started to straighten up the office and shut everything down for the night. She really wanted to go to the hospital and make sure Grace was okay. She knew she should listen to Gloom though. Orion would not want to return with Grace only to find Cadence missing.
She hurriedly shut down, and checked everything was locked up. She grabbed her purse and started toward the Club House. It was only down the street. That building was attached to a large bar in town they own.
Once there she headed up to Orion's room. He had not been staying at the Club anymore so Cadence took over his room for the most part. She rearranged some of his clothing in the drawers so she had a drawer on the dresser, and one night stand. She also had a few things and two pairs of shoes in his closet. She had bought her own bedding and changed it from his.
She even had a few decorative pillows for the bed, and had replaced his pillows with the memory foam/gel hybrid of pillows she liked. She enjoyed being around all the hustle and bustle of the Club House. It kept her busy which allowed her little time to think of Devil or Dereck. Which was great since she had somehow found herself bedding Jasper on a regular basis now.
Orion spotted Grace, and then she was on him. He squeezed Grace to him. He was not sure if he was hurting her with how tight he was squeezing her, but he didn't care if he was. He was so relieved to see her.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked as he held her. He actually felt emotional and was not sure what to do with that. He finally forced himself to let her go and step back from her. He looked her over.
"Grace...I was so scared you were...You coming home with me. I won't take no for an answer. You are done nursing. I can't stand the idea of you getting blown to pieces at work one day!" He yanked her close and kissed her forehead.
"Dereck is on his way.let's wait for him before we leave." He had his arm around her waist, He could not bring himself to not touch her right now. He had to reassure himself she was okay.
"Looks like your fiancee is oay." The police office said to Orion as he noticed him with Grace.
"Yes she is. Thankfully." Orion replied and squeezed her to him gently.

There were so many emotions flooding through Grace right now, but the only one she seemed to let to the surface was relief. She was relived to be out of that place and in Orion's arms. For a few seconds she just held him, and she was not sure if the heartbeat she felt was her own, or his, but she assumed they were both shaken about what had happened. It also seemed he did not care that she was covered in blood, and possibly getting it all over his clothes. "I'm fine. I have a few scratches, but I wasn't close to the explosion..." Her eyes met his, and he was looking her over frantically, trying to see with his own eyes that she was actually alright. It was kind of a miracle that she was okay, and only got out with a few cuts and bruises. What he said next stunned her for a moment, but she let it slide and just let her arms wrap around him again when his lips met her forehead. He was great at calming her down, because had he not been here she probably would have been freaking out. It wasn't until the police officer spoke that her head shot up, and she raised an eyebrow. Looking over at Orion, she waited until the officer walked away to speak. "Is there someone else I should know about?" She was teasing him, of course.
Dereck did not stay around the hospital in Greensville long, because his sister worked in Shadow Creek. He was speeding down the road, and the cops did not seem to care because they were speeding to get to the hospital as well. When he did arrive, he was stunned at the sight before him. There were tons of black body bags laid out, and he could feel his stomach sink. If Grace was in one of those he was going to lose his mind. Dereck pushed his way through the crowd, until he caught sight of a familiar blonde haired girl in scrubs. "Grace! Holy ******** s**t.." He shoved people out of the way until he got up on her, and cupped her face in his hands. His chest was rising and falling with the rapid breaths he was taking. "You're okay...Thank god you are okay.." There had been way too many close calls with Grace, especially since the Outcasts had found out that she was an important person to both the Angels and the Reapers.

Orion smirked at Grace, and brushed his lips against her.
"Yes, I forgot to tell you I am dating this smoking hot blonde who works here. She is a Nurse, and MMMMM!!!! She can tend to my wounds any day!" He teased back. He was surprised that he could joke at a time like this. He was afraid and so angry right now. Angry that these people had targeted a hospital, angry Grace had been endanger and he could do nothing about it.
"Amazingly enough Grace is pretty much okay. I am going to take her with me." He wrapped a protective arm about Grace's shoulders. He would not take no as an answer from Dereck.
"Your welcome to come with us if you like..." He offered politely. He had no problem with Dereck though he was curious as to why he and Cadence had fizzled out so fast.
Of course that was one of his business, but he was curious. He was also curious as to when Pryde would come and tell him about his relationship with Cadence. Killian had informed Orion about the relationship. Orion was not sure how he felt about it. He felt like if Cadie was going to be living the life he rather she be with his people. That way someone would always had an eye on her. Another part did not like the idea of one of his guys bedding his little sister. Especially knowing that if things failed they would still have to see each other.

It had been exactly two months since the bombing of the two hospitals, and Devil's funeral. Cadence still felt numb in many ways, but mainly she just felt really sad. She realized she had lost the opportunity to make peace with Devil, and now no matter what she did. Or how long she lived, she would never have that chance again.
She hated the idea of him having died thinking she hated him or did not forgive him for his past mistakes. He had been young and dumb back then. Just as scared and confused as she was. She knew his decision came from fear and not malice. It had been hard for her to accept but she had. It just was a open wound and when she saw him, when he had confronted her. It had just been too much for her to handle.
Cadence was returning to her old apartment for a few days. Mainly to pack the last of her belongings. She had paid for the apartment for the last two months and not even lived in it. She had planned to go back after Devil's death but she had been talked out of it. Her brother insisted he needed her around as did her Aunt Celeste. She knew neither was making it up since she had been helping out with her niece Isabelle, and now helping her Aunt who had fell and broken her arm.
Her relationship with Jasper was still a bit complicated. He wanted more then she could give. He wanted them to be open and upfront with everyone about their relationship. He wanted her to move in with him. She was content with just hooking up with him, and hanging out with him. Though given the surprising news she had discovered last week she was beginning to rethink things. So far she had not really thought too much about it. She felt like if she did she might go a bit crazy.
She now had an apartment courtesy of her departed Father. She rarely stayed there though. She stayed at her Aunt's home, or at the Club House, sometimes she stayed at Jasper's place. Rarely she stayed at the apartment. She did not have much in the way of friends, but the few she had tended to be males. Her Brother scared most of them away. So it was just easier to avoid the apartment.
Cadie found herself nearly ready to go. She could not find emerald green top that she had borrowed from her friend Meg though. She sighed as she realized she was remembering correctly that she had washed it, only problem was she had left the top at the Club.
She grabbed her purse and small travel bag and headed down the steps. She kissed her Aunt goodbye and reminded her that she would be back in a few days. Her Aunt insisted that she check it once she got to her destination. Cadence agreed with a smile. It was nice having someone who acted as a Mother to her.
She said goodbye one last time and quickly departed before her Aunt started to cry. She was so sentimental at times. She was convinced Cadence was not going to return. Said she had several dreams that Cadie just never returned. No matter how much Cadence reassured her that she was only going to retrieve some things, her Aunt would not believe her.
She placed her purse on the passenger's seat, set her travel bag on the seat behind her. Climbed in her car and buckled up. She drove over to the Club, and was surprised to see Jasper's bike out front. She glanced at her watch and realized it was lunch time. He was probably expecting to spend his lunch break with her before she left.
Cadence ran up to the room to grab the shirt that was folded and laying on top of the dresser. She looked around the room one last time. Mentally going over her checklist. She was pretty sure she had everything. She dashed down the starts and walked to the kitchen. He would be no doubt in the kitchen waiting. Complaining about how hungry he was. He was always hungry! the guy was a bottomless pit! She could not help the small smile that spread across her face.
She stepped into the kitchen and immediately it was like someone had squeezed all the air from her lungs. Jasper was in the kitchen and there was this blonde straddling his lap. One of her arms about his shoulders, and a hand on the back of his neck. Cadence recognized the woman at once. A typical Club hoe, she flirted with everyone but she was constantly after Jasper for some reason.
Cadence did not remember moving or even wanting to move, however she yanked the blonde off of Jasper by the hair and the blonde screamed. Cadence let go of the woman's hair and kicked her in the stomach, sending her falling backwards into the counter.
"YOU DIRTY F*CKING B*TCH!" Cadence yelled and kicked the blonde several times in the side. The blonde hadn't the chance to pick herself up off the floor where she had fallen before Cadence had launched her new attack. She felt arms about her waist and she was pulled off her feet and away from the blonde named Missy.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Cadence screamed as she struggled to get away. Jasper did so but Cadence was sure it was only to get a better grip on her flailing body. It was all she needed she broke away and Missy charged at her as she charged her.
Cadence was the smaller opponent but she was faster, and had training. She punched the girl in the solar plexus, leaving Missy breathless and staggering backwards. Cadie punched her in the face with her right fist, then followed it with a left hook. Again Cadence was grabbed and she fought against the person.
Jasper set her down in a corner and stood in front of her. She tried to push him away but he was too solid for her to budget, even in her enraged state.
"MOVE!" She yelled and pressed her hands to his chest and shoved as hard as she could.
"NO!" he yelled back at her and pushed her back against the walls.
"YOU NEED TO CALM THE HELL DOWN!" He screamed at her.
"YOU NEED TO SHUT THE F*CK UP, AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!" She snapped back and threw herself at him. This time she shoulder collided with his chest and he moved just a bit. She tried to duck under his arm, but he caught her shoulder and shoved her back hard against the wall.
"STOP IT!" He yelled and she yelped when she hit the wall. Immediately her reflexes kicked in and she punched him in the face. He stepped back totally surprised, and found his eyes were tearing up on their own. His nose was bleeding from the force of her blow.
"OWWWW! WHAT DA....!" He couldn't finish the thought because Missy had jumped in and dash pass him. She wrapped one hand in Cadie's hair and started to hit her in the face.
Cadence had not expected Missy's attack, she had been actually a bit horrified and surprised that she had struck Jasper. She screamed when Missy yanked her hair but now she was back in fight mode. She wrapped her hands about the blonde's throat and began to squeeze. She threw all her weight against Missy, slamming her against the wall. The pair fell to the floor. Missy's grip on Cadie's hair had loosened since she was trying to pry Cadence's hands from about her throat. Cadie scrambled on top of Missy and again she felt arms around her. This time they were rough and lifted her away from Missy. They carried her out of the kitchen and outside.
Jasper tossed her against her car. He looked livid and was trembling. He started to pace and talk to himself. Finally he walked to her, pressing her back against the car, his chest was pressed against her. He slammed his hand ontop the roof of her car.
"WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT IN THERE CADENCE?! HUH?" He glared at her and she did not answer. He gripped her shoulders and shook her hard.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" He shouted as he shook her. She placed her hands on his chest and tried to push him away.
"I WAS THINKING I AM NOT GOING TO LET THE BIKER SLUT BLONDE SLEEP WITH THE GUY WHO KNOCKED ME UP!" Cadence yelled back at him.
He froze and stared down at her. She continued to try to push him away. He gripped her arm to keep her still.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!"
"You are sure your pregnant?"
"I am pretty sure! I took 7 different pregnancy tests and they all came back positive." She yanked her arm away from him and turned to face the side. She arms crossed over her chest.
"Cadence..."
"Save it Jasper! I never even wanted anything serious. I never wanted to be in a relationship with you. It was just sex for me, just a way to get off. So this doesn't change anything. You go back in there and have fun with that slut. I am just glad we are both now on the same page." She turned and yanked open her car door. Forcing him to jump back.
"Cadence, nothing was going on. She came on to me. You know how she is. I was going to tell her to get lost before you came in and went all Xena on her a*s." He said as he slammed the car door shut. Preventing Cadence from getting in the car.
"Yeah right...." She replied bitterly.
"I am serious Cadence. I want only you. You should know that by now."
"Well that is too bad because I don't want you. I don't want to be with you Jasper. I have never wanted to be with you." She replied coldly.
The words were like knives to his heart and he hated how cold she was being. He loved her so much, and clearly she cared about him otherwise she would not have reacted the way she had when she saw Missy and him together. He stepped up behind her and slipped one arm around her. His hand came to rest on her stomach. His other hand was on her hip.
"I don't believe that Cadence. Your just upset right now." He kissed the top of her head, then lowered his mouth to her neck. He kissed her neck and felt her shudder.
"It was just sex Jasper. It won't ever happen again either." Her voice was calmer but shaky. He let her push his hands away and let her step away. He would wait till she got back to try to talk to her again.
She should be calmer in a few days. Once there was distance between today's Missy event and a few more days for Cadence to think about their future child. She was confident that she would change her mind.
"I love you Cadence, have a safe trip. We will talk about living arrangements once you get back. You will definitely not be staying at the Club anymore. So think about which apartment you want us to reside in."
"You stay in you apartment and stay away from me."
"That won't happen. This is my baby too." She glared at him and slammed her car door shut.
He truly loved Cadence but she could be and evil spiteful little as*hole. He wanted nothing much from her. Just her love and affections. Instead he got her lust and attitude. He knew she cared about him to, but she just refused to admit it. He did not understand why, and it really hurt now. He could see she was going to do everything in her power to push him away during this pregnancy which wasn't fair. It was his child to, and he wanted to enjoy fatherhood. He wanted to be there every step of the pregnancy.
It had been nearly two weeks since Cadence had set off for her old apartment. No one had heard from her, no one had seen her. Her friends in her old town said Cadence had never contacted them once she arrived.
Ryder, Kill, Kong and Pryde had all taken the trip out to Cadie's old apartment. The place was a wreck, and things were broken. They had found some blood. There had been a definite struggle at her place. So far no one had reached out demanding anything in exchange for Cadence.
Orion was going nuts. He did not know whether his sister was alive or dead. He had reached out to the police, but they seemed to think she had simply taken off. A young woman with no ties to anywhere, and with an adventurous nature. They said she would probably be in touch in a few weeks after blowing through her money.
Orion knew this would not be the case. He was frustrated because he could not convince them to take it seriously, and the more time passed the more likely they would find her dead he felt. He was at his apartment and so angry with himself. He couldn't believe he had been so dumb as to let her take the trip alone! He felt responsible for her disappearance.
Ryder had reached out to Dereck and the Reapers. He had asked if any of them turned up any news or possible leads about Cadie's whereabouts they immediately inform him. So far the Reapers had not heard anything, or at least they had not come to him with any news.
Cadie's Aunt Celeste came by each day, hopeful that Cadence had returned. Each day Orion had to break her heart and tell her nothing had changed. Each day she left the apartment crying. He couldn't take it too much longer. Seeing her cry like that, not knowing where she was, what had happened to her. If she was alive or dead. It was eating at him. Each day he felt a bit more of the dread and hopelessness take over another part of him.
Pryde, Kill and Doom kept disappearing much to Orion's disapproval. He was so angry with them for their disappearing act but no matter what he said the trio would disappear. Normally Pryde first, then Kill and Doom. Jasper looked like hell these last couple of weeks. He was snappish, short tempered and so secretive. Ryder really did not know what to make of it. A part of him wondered if Pryde was in some way tied into Cadie's disappearance. He pushed the thought from mind because he knew if he let it take root, he would kill Pryde.
The front door opened and in walked Kill, Doom and Pryde. Pryde looked like a zombie. It was clear he was not sleeping, or eating even. He looked like hell. Kill was the one who spoke up.
"We're here. What's up Ryder?"
"I told you three I want you to stay local. You guys keep taking off! Your needed here!" Orion exploded.
"We can't leave a brother alone. You have the rest of the MC." Kill replied and Orion was taken back. Kill never defied and order. He didn't talk back either.
"Why are you guys going back there? It has been almost two weeks....the police aren't looking."
"That is exactly why!" Pryde snapped and Kill laid a hand on Jasper's shoulder.
"Pryde..." He said calmly and Pryde immediately removed himself from Kill's touch.
"We are going to keep looking there, and asking questions. Someone there has to know something. She had a life there, and friends. One of them are bound to know something."
"Not if it is Outcasts related."
"Right now we have no idea if this is related to them or not."
"Come on!" Orion yelled.
"We're going to keep searching there! You have a problem with that oh well!" Pryder snapped and started for the door.
"What the hell has been up your a*s Pryde?!" Orion yelled and started after him. Kill hurried and forced himself in between the pair.
"Whoa! Every one just calm down! We are all on the same side here! We all want to find Candie."
"Did you have something to do with her disappearance Pryde? I swear to God if you...."
"Of course I didn't have anything to do with her disappearance!"
"I heard you and her were screaming, and she hit you the day she left! Why would she be fighting with you? Why else would you be looking for her so obsessively?! If you hurt her....!"
"I didn't hurt her!"
"Hey! Hey! Pryde, it is time you just tell him!"
"TELL ME WHAT?!" Orion was struggling against Doom and Kill now. He was trying to get to Pryde.
"To tell you why I am am so determined to find Cadence. I am in love with her, and we were dating. The most important thing is Cadence's is pregnant. I have to find her. I have to make sure they are okay." Orion stopped struggling.
"She's..."
"Yes. She told me that day, but she also told me she didn't want to be with me. I am in love with her, and I won't walk away from her. I am going to find her and bring her home."
There was a knock at the door and all eyes went to the door. Few people knew where Orion resided. It was for Isabelle's safety. Orion also wasn't expecting company. Only people who ever stopped by were Cadie and Grace. Grace had her own key so she would not be knocking.
Orion strolled to the door and swung it open abruptly. There stood a man he recognized but could not figure out for the life of him why he would be visiting him.
"Can I help you...?"
"I think....we can help each other." He held up several blank DVD cases.
"It will probably be the only way we can help Cadie." Alex replied and Orion's eyes widened for a minute. He stepped aside to let the Sheriff's son in. Alex stepped in and Orion closed the door and immediately his hand went around Alex's throat.
"What do you know about Cadie's disappearance?" The other men moved in, circling Alex. Alex tried to pull Orion's hand away.
"This isn't helping her!" Orion relaxed his grip and took half a step back.
"Start talking...."
"Cadence is alive....at least....she was when these DVDs were filmed...." Alex immediately started to tell the men his story. The short version was Cadence was being held against her will and forced into doing adult movies to work Alex's debts off. Alex had a gambling problem and owed big money. He had fallen behind in his payments The men took Cadence thinking Alex and Cadence were still engaged and that Alex would pay up to get her back.
Alex of course had tried to get her back and couldn't because they had doubled his debt and wanted the money in full. He had taken a serious beating and only recently got out of the hospital. He had discovered two newer DVDs had been delivered. Finally he was able to sneak away from his new fiancee Lily and get to Orion to let him know what he knew about Cadence's disappearance.
"This is all my fault. Cadie kept my secret for years. The gambling and drinking. She always protected me and stood by me. Finally she walked away when I gambled away her car and engagement ring. She finally said there was no saving me and left me. I don't blame her. I finally got the help I needed. I stopped drinking, and gambling. I went back to her. Begging her to take me back. She turned me away and I started gambling and drinking again. Recently I tried to straighten my life up, it was going great. Till my fiancee said she wanted to push the wedding up because she is pregnant. I fell behind in the payments and...they knew Cadence. She had paid my debts off various times. I guess they thought we were still together and I would pay up. I tried. I wiped out my wedding fund to try to get her back! They wouldn't let me see her. They took my money and beat me up. They said the debt went from $10,000 to $30,000. Interest and now fees for room and board for her. They said also a doctor bill because she hurt someone...I don't know! I just want to help get her back. She does not deserve any of this!"
"She damn sure doesn't!" Jasper growled.
"This is all your fault!"

 : Maralyn Ó'ConchobhairLocation: Studio back room Company: Cadie Wearing: Outfit Lyn wrapped the sheer black robe around her form as she stepped off of the set, making sure to tye the belt around her middle. Even though it didn't really make a difference. The people in the room had seen Lyn's form a in a multitude of disarray and undress since the beginning of the week. Plus at the moment, she was too exhausted to care, but the light fabric did offer some comfort in this strange circumstance she had gotten herself into.
Roughly a hand belonging to Dylan, a man she had thought she knew in college after dating him. Had she never been more wrong! Since following him to the studio she had thus found out that little rodeo farm boy was funding this whole little show. Helping his buddies that he had met on a business adventure a year ago get back what they were owed by none other than Cadence's ex. Once again it had come full circle.
Before shoving Maralyn's half naked form into one of the back rooms, Dylan placed a plastic wrapped tablet into her hands"Make sure your ready for the next set." Then he had shut the door behind her. Lyn's hand closed around the small package, as her other hand brushed through her hair shakily. Her small form then turned towards the other woman locked in the room, and the red-head forced a smile on her face as she neared the brunette. "How are you dong Cadie? Feeling any better? Have you eaten anything yet?" The other beautiful girl stuck in this situation was pregnant. And when Lyn had found out what they had been forcing her to do, she had bubbled over with rage. She couldn't believe what they had been making her do, even if they didn't know her situation. So Lyn had offered to take the brunette's spot, with some determination and convincing, the deal had been struck.

Cadence rose as soon as Maralyn entered the room. She went to her and wrapped a blanket about her shoulders. Trying to cover her, and keep her from getting too chilled. Their tiny room always seemed to be cold and damp. The windows were tiny and set up high in the cement walls. Cadie assumed they were being kept underground.
She handed Lyn the plate. There was a sandwich, and a few crackers on the plate. She grabbed a bottle of water and set it on the small table.
"Eat before they come back." She sighed.
"I wasn't really hungry..." She did not tell her Lyn that listening to one of the other women screaming and crying in the next room had turned her stomach so bad that she had been unable to bring herself to eat anything.
"Lyn....you don't have too." She said as she sat herself on one of the small twin beds in the dank tiny room.
"They have finally decided to allow me to call....I am not calling Alex though. I will call my brother. He will get the cash together." She wrapped her arms about her legs, and hugged them to he body.
She was sore, cold, hungry and livid. She wanted to kill these men. If she ever got out she told herself she would watch them all burn. Hell, she would light and toss the match! She laid her head on her knees.
"That big guy with the beard is back...he keeps coming to the room. Peeks in and starts breathing heavy." Cadence shuddered as she remembered her last encounter with him. Out of all the horrible people she had met here, he was the only one who terrified her.
He was an animal in her opinion. He had been the one they paired her with after she injured several of their other men. This man she had been unable to overpower or even resist. All the women were frightened of him, and he seemed to enjoy it. His interest in Cadence made her fearful for her life. He had already choked her till she blacked out once when he visited her.
"We will get out of here...I think they will cast us aside for a while. Four new girls arrived. All willing participants. They will use them for a while, it is easier for them." Cadence closed her eyes.
"Eat Lyn." She coaxed in her tired and defeated sounding voice. She hated that Lyn had bartered a deal with these animals. Cadence knew she should feel thankful, but she felt guilt. Lyn was stuck doing this because she had tried to keep Cadie's unborn child safe. Of course Cadence was grateful for what Lyn did, but she hated herself for allowing her to do it.
She opened her eyes and watched Lyn. She smiled at the other woman."Even stuck in here, with these monsters doing their worst your still the prettiest woman here."

: Maralyn Ó'ConchobhairLocation: Studio back room Company: Cadie Wearing: Outfit Maralyn nodded in gratitude as Cadence wrapped the blanket around her shoulders. Her dimming blue eyes looked at the plate Cadie offered that held still a half sandwich and some carrots. She took a seat next to the other woman, and placed the plate between them, before picking up a carrot to munch on. She listened to the other girls voice as she spoke. "Eat the sandwich, Cadence. You need the energy. I'm sure Orion will come get you as soon as you call him." She told her in a soft voice with a gentle smile.
Then the other girl spoke of the monster of a man with a beard. Lyn had been relieved as well as almost anyone else when he had left. They had all hoped it was for good, but now he was back. She nodded staring across the room at the door as a shiver went down her spine. "He is. I saw him on another set as I was brought back here." Looking back to Cadie, Lyn moved the blanket so it rested around both of the small woman, and nodded as she spoke about them casting them aside for a while. Lyn brushed a few strands of hair out of Cadie's face, "Your brother will come. And no one else is going to hurt you. Eat the sandwich, then get some rest. I'll wake you if anything happens."
Maralyn herself couldn't sleep. Couldn't bring herself to do so, no matter how exhausted she was. Lyn stood and walked to the table that held a pitcher of water and two glasses. She poured herself one, and as she faced away from the brunette, popped the pill she had been given and took a sip of the drink. Working so much around the clock like this, had her reverting to old habits. And good old Dylan had supplied the speed drug. Lyn laughed hollowly as she crossed back to the other woman, water in her hand. "No, not at all dear. You are so beautiful, glowing even among the dimness her. Don't let them take it away."

Jasper 
Jasper felt his rage rise at this other man that had been with Cadence. The one that had gotten her into this whole mess. The man even knew this was his fault! Before he could completely think about, he threw a punch at the man sending Alex stumbling across the room. Jasper made quick strides to close that distance but was stopped by hands of other members of the Avenging Angels to hold him back. He may still be in Orion's house, but this a**hole had put Cadence in some of the worst type of danger. Plus she was pregnant. Which he was sure she would not be happy that he had told her brother about.
He held up his hands in compliance, as he took a few steps back. "Where are they keeping her?" He demanded of Alex.

Cadence curled up against Maralyn. Laying her head on her shoulder. She nibbled a carrot stick. She hated carrots but it wasn't about her anymore. It was about the new life that was growing inside of her.
"You look exhausted. Rest. While you can. They will come for you if they want you. You know they will." She stretched her legs out in front of her.
"I am tired of sleeping. Besides....each time I dream..." She grew silent.
"How do you know that man? I did not want to ask...you know how I ended up here. I am curious as to how you know him... Is he a loan shark? Only way I could think Alex and he would have crossed paths." There was that flash of anger and resentment again.
Anytime she thought of Alex now she would become so angry. This was all his fault! She had spent the last three years cleaning up his messes, and she finally gave up on him. Walked away because she realized she was only enabling him and she had never truly loved him. He was familiar and comfortable. He was the safe option, or so she had thought!
She couldn't believe after everything, the one time his gambling directly endangers her is the time she is not actually with him. The pair broke up nearly a year ago! Who knew dating the Sheriff's son would be more dangerous then dating a Biker? She closed her eyes as she thought of the Angels MC, and then the Reapers. Would she see them again?
"We will take our beautiful selves out of here, and go back to the Creek. Soon this will be nothing more then a nightmare!" She promised as she hugged Lyn.
"Well did you ask him?"
"What was I going to say?! Hey Sheriff's boy, any chances you f*cked up Cadie and my cousin's Lyn's life?" Gloom ran a hand over his face. He was so aggravated.
"She didn't just disappear! There is no way that two women from town disappeared the same exact time with no connection!"
"Cadie disappeared in her town! I saw her car with my own two eyes!"
"I think we need to question him anyway." Doom sighed.
Their cousin Maralyn had disappeared and they had no clue as to where she had went. So idea of why anyone would take her, or who would want too. They had not seen their younger cousin n a few years, though they all grew up together. They were several years older then Lyn, though when they were younger they had all been very close.

Grace Marie Thompson 
Grace had been quite busy in the past few months. She and Orion stayed close, going to dinners when they could and she found herself staying the night with him most weekends. She did not listen to Orion and quit working at the hospital, but she did agree to work only during the daytime. It was getting dangerous for her to go anywhere alone, especially since Cadence had gone missing. It was odd given that she and Cadence were so close, so Grace should knew where Cadence is, but she didn't.
Since her disappearance Orion has been a mess, and Grace had made it a point to come and hang around with him every day after work. Today, though, she walked inside and was caught in the middle of a s**t storm. She was still dressed in some light pink scrubs, and her long, blonde hair was draped over her shoulders. In front of her was Alex, Orion, Jasper, KIllian and Doom. She had gotten to know all of these guys in the months she had been hanging around with Orion. Today, though, Grace had a bag in each hand all full of Chinese food.
They seemed to stop talking when she opened the door, and Grace smiled awkwardly, holding up the bags of food. "I didn't mean to interrupt anything..." She slowly made her way into the apartment, biting on her lip nervously. The testosterone in the room was so high.

: Maralyn Ó'ConchobhairLocation: Studio back room Company: Cadie Wearing: Outfit Maralyn just shook her head at the thought of sleep. No she couldn't sleep here. It wasn't safe. No one would be able to help Cadence. At least if the bearded man came back, there would be two of them to fight him off. Being groggy from sleep wouldn't bode well anyway. No the pill would kick in soon, and she would have energy again. Wonderful little thing, no?
Lyn glanced over at the brunette as she asked about Dylan. Lyn shrugged lightly, she had begun to wonder when Cadie would ask."His name's Dylan. I dated him during my graduate years in college. Found him on his families farm during some experience hours and well... When I saw him in Shadow Creek, my curiosity got the better of me. And well I'm glad it did. I was able to find you." She didn't need to say that the reason they had split was because he had proposed, and that she had not wanted. Even if he had said he would buy her out of this contract and pay all her debt. She hadn't felt that way about him. Was just fun for the time it had been. "When he was out here a year ago doing business for his father's farm as well as for his drug trade he was starting, and he met these other guys. From what he says, he has funded their expenses, and so is a partner in that way."
Lyn returned the hug as Cadie stated it would all be over soon. That she did hope. Luckily she had convinced the men to let her call work and take sick leave, but that was ending soon. They wouldn't give her forever for the lie she had told them of her grandmother dying. "Did they say when you could call Ryan?"

EDITED
Ryder glared at the men, then turned his attention to Grace. He did not want then discussing Cadence's disappearance in front of Grace. She had been through enough already. He closed the space between them in a few strides. He kissed her lightly.
"Can you go check on Belle please? I think I heard her fussing..." He took the Chinese food from her and set it on the table.
Jasper hauled off and punched Alex. He watched as the MC members present grabbed at Jasper. Orion was a tad envious of Jasper for having frst crack at Alex, the way Orion saw it though Jasp had every right to be angry. It was his child that was endanger.
"Jasper is good now....besides....Alex had that sh*t coming." He looked to Alex as he tried to shake off the punch. He was looking nervous now.
"I don't know where they are keeping her...I have a phone number to call. Once I have the money, I call them. They set up a meet. They get the cash, and they return Cadence." Alex looked away from Jasper and to Orion.
"I came here because I want to help. They dragged her into this, and I know that isn't fair. I just want her out of there, so they don't hurt her anymore."
Orion glared at the men and pointed to the door. He let them all leave but stopped Alex. He took him aside and spoke with him in a low hurried tone.
"You call these guys. You find out when and where we make the trade. I will get the money together. I just want my sister back." He made to grab the DVDs, and Alex stepped away with them.
"No. You don't want to see them. Trust me." Orion considered taking the DVDs anyway but he realized that Alex was probably right. Whatever horrible things were on those DVDs, he as her brother probably did not want to know.
"Destroy them." He finally said as opened the front door. He motioned for Alex to leave and then he leaned against the closed door.
He wanted to hurt Alex so bad. He knew he couldn't though. He was the only one who knew anything about who has taken Cadence and why. Sure this was all his fault, and Orion would be sure the man suffered eventually, but for now....he had to let him be.
He pushed off of the door and went into Belle's nursery. He was glad Grace had stopped by. He felt better knowing she was safe. Only way he knew she was safe was when she was with him.
"Is she wet?" He asked hoping to avoid any conversation about all the men in his apartment.
Alex hurried away from the apartment. He tried not to look at the MC members who were lingering outside of the apartment. He did not want any trouble with them. Jasper had already came after him, he didn't need him to come after him again. Not when he had to set up the meet. There was no time to be wasted.
"I know your angry, I am trying to help though. I want her back as much as any of you do. More even, Cadie was always there for me. She always had my back, this is killing me that she is suffering because of me." He finally said to Jasper.
"She and I were together a long time. I took her for granted. I did sh*tty things that endangered us both. I hurt her a lot over the years. We were finally at a place where we could openly talk to one another. Where...the past was the past, and that pain wasn't so raw. She called me the day before she left. She told me she was happy I was finally doing better. Glad that I was finally getting my happy ending after everything. I apologized to her for everything." Alex grew silent as he remembered her answer. She laughed and told him not to f*ck things up again, that was all she wanted. Not another apology.

Jasper
Jasper was the last one to leave Orion's house with the other men. He was not happy about it. But with Grace being home, he understood why Orion didn't want to discuss anymore about it. He made sure to give Cadie's ex a hard death glare though before he put his helmet on and started the engine on his bike.
As the man came over and tried to explain, Jasper just shook his head, "You don't get it man. If you cared even half as much as you say, you wouldn't have done any of that to begin with. There would be nothing to drag her into now. Now get out of my sight before I decide you deserve more punishment. Set this thing up so I can get Cadie back, and we can all never see you again." Had he been harsh? Yes most certainly he was being harsh. The man didn't deserve any of his sympathy.
Jasper took the long way back to the clubhouse. When he stepped into the main room there was Gloom and Doom fighting over something or someone,"What are you two talking of now? Get ready to leave at short notice. I'm sure Ryder will want all of us to get Cade.".Editted

Grace Marie Thompson
Grace returned Orion's kiss and let her eyes look around at all of the men while he took the bags of food from her. They looked upset, and it probably had to do with the club's business. She was not about to get involved, either. Things had been going really well for her for the past few months, especially given the fact that she was officially dating Orion and that was out in the open. She moved quietly, going into the nursery to change Isabelle and put her in a new onesie, before giving her a pacifier and laying her back into the crib gently. Isabelle was growing more and more each day, and she looked more like Orion than she did her mother.
It wasn't until she felt Orion come into the room that she looked over her shoulder, grabbing the dirty diaper to toss into the trash. "Yeah, she was wet and pissed as hell. Changed her into a new onesie and gave her her paci and now she is asleep again." She walked past him, moving to throw away the dirty diaper and put the dirty clothes in the hamper. Her hand took hold of Orion's and pulled him from the nursery, letting the door close gently behind him.
Since Cadence had disappeared, he had not been himself. Though, he put his best front when she was around, which is all she could ask for. "I know I should have called before coming over, but I wanted to surprise you with dinner." She walked into his room, removing her scrub top and tossing it into the hamper as she looked through the drawer that had some clothes she left at his house. The scar that decorated her back was still there, a pink contrast to her lightly tanned skin. "I really like working dayshift now, its kind of...refreshing to know I'm not working in the middle of the damn night." She said to him, shimmying out of her pants and tossing those into the hamper as well.
