As the food comes Angelica drizzles a little bit of the dressing over her salad before mixing it up. Taking a small bit she closes her eyes for a moment just slavering the taste. This had to be one of the best places to get a salad she new of.

Finally looking back to David for a moment, her look was inquisitive but than as she realized who he was talking about she wanted to smack herself.

"For a moment there I didnt know who you were talking about. I am use to everybody calling him JT not Jack. Sorry about that."

Taking another bit of her salad and than patting her lips with the napkin Angelica reached into her brefcase and pulled out some paper and information she had.

"Ok, JT's niece Bree, has been living in this area for a very long time. She spends most of her time with JT as he is really the only family she has or cares to give her the time of day. Recently, Gunner and her have been involved. They are both different on there own level, some would say odd, but they are just different.."

Continuing the conversation Angelica fills David in on Bree's past, and about Gunner, from JT back to what happend with Bree and her family that sent her to the hospital once again, and that they think money is involved and many people are being payed off.

"..And this is what lead us to believe people are being payed off.."

Pulling out another stack of paper neatly clipped together Angelica slides them on the table. Most of them were emails mad out to the hospital.

"...A friend of mine has many high places to look for things and he came across these emails. I haven't been through most of them but the first five talk about money, and persuading people to see things Bree's parents way. Her father is a Senator he has a lot of money, and can pretty much get anyone to do anything."

Angelica's eyes search David's face again wondering what he himself though about all this, or if he even new more than she did.

Looking down at JT Amanda gives a small laugh and a little shake of her head. She was honered JT had asked her. It was very nice of him.

"I would have to decline, being the third wheel is never fun, and I feel like I would just get in the way of your time with her."

Thinking for a moment another smile forms on Amanda's lips as the wheels in her head started to turn. Looking up at the ceiling for a moment she was quiet before looking to JT yet again.

"Now, if we could get Gunner to come along too. That I wouldn't feel like the third and would consider it. What do you think?"

Closing her eyes for a moment Jess lets out a content sigh. Axel's hands on her skin felt so soft, yet rough from the years of working on cars. It mixed well though, leaving her skin feeling a tingle. A small whisper formed as her reply.

"Yes...we can."

But her stomach gives a loud protest and her eyes fly open looking at Axel and giving a blink. A little color of embarrassment comes to her face.

"I guess my stomach don't agree though. It might end up eating itself and than that...will just be messy. We should probably find something to eat, but than if you want we can return to this wonderful couch to snuggle."

Annie gives a little shake of her head. She wished things would of gone better, but the lack of finding words to make everything smoother didnt seem to help. They were just trying to help there brother.

"No, I don't. I guess even at our age we have to live and learn. I do hope it works out for him. He really has been happy ya know?"

Annie looks up at Jim and gives a smalls mile. She didn't think anything was his fault. He had just been worried and there way nothing wrong with that.

As the door to the dinning hall opens Faith moves her head a little and see Sparky come out. As he starts to make his way down the steps she figured he didn't see her but as her stops and turns he knows he has.

While he just stands there it feels like Faith's stomach was in knots. He wasn't saying anything and she didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing. Finally about to say something of her own she stops as Sparky walks away.

Faith's heart sinks as an unexpected tear runs down her cheek. It felt like she had just been punched, and now there was a crack. It had been a long time since she had felt like this her emotions seeming to go every way. She didn't know how Sparky felt, or even what he was thinking on everything that happened with his family. Maybe it was just best to stay out of the way for now. Continuing to sit on the swing and rock, she just let the few silent tears fall.

Pulling a blanket from the barn Bree finally finds a place in the cool grass to lay it down. Night had come now, and the stars were starting to come out. Laying on her back she looks up at the sky as if searching for something. A wetness behind her eyes seems to want to break forth and no matter how Bree tried the drop of water broke free. But paying no attention to it Bree raises her hands in the air against the sky.Still looking, still still searching, she had to find it.
