Last Few Days

Angel cant help the smile at her brother silly joke. He always did have a good sense of humor. Taking another sip of her coffee Angel fell quiet again. Lane was right, money was tight around the ranch. Things were just not as booming as they use to be, and having to shut down every now and again during the busy season because of the Agency didn't help. But that didn't change anything and she new it.

   "You are right, things have been rough but we have been making due, we always do and we would never turn anyone away if they needed this place. You should know that better than anyone. "

Giving another soft smile to her brother Angel patted her hand. She'd love to have Travis and Lane stay if they were to choose that. Having them close and getting to know her nephew was something she would like very much.

   "Just...at least consider it. I am sure you could talk with Mick and Rosetta and figure out a way to help around the ranch, we always need it."

Sitting in Reese's lap Angelia leaned her head against his. Her heart hurt, and at the though of the Elite not being here anymore it really did make her sad too. So many special people worked in this place, people she had gotten use to seeing every day, talking with, and enjoying the company of. Without it...it just wasn't an easy thing to think about. This was about Reese though, and for now she had to push her own worry aside.

   "We will keep living. All of us will. Might not be easy, we might not get to see each other every day but we will keep moving forward and find a new path in life."

Pulling away a little Angelica looks down at him searching his face for a long moment before bringing her hand to the side of his face and cradling it. Just letting her thumb run over his cheek. 

   "You gave everyone where hope when they had none, you gave those who had no life, and no fight left a new breath. That is what you did, and that is what you will continue to do even if its out last days together in the Elite. The past is the past...we can't change that, but we can prepare for the future whatever it might be."

Watching Laura move around the kitchen Nate could feel the hair on his neck bristle something wasn't right at all. Had something happened with Garret? Surly not, if it had been bad she would say something right? Nate couldn't help the fear that seemed to wash over him.

   "I have some cold medicine from Rick, I'll see about getting Garret to eat and than giving him some."

About to say more Nate is quiet again as Laura runs to the kitchen again. Seeing her break down over the burned bread Nate was quick to come in close and wrap his arms around her. Worry still coursed through him and it was all he could think about.

   "Hey Hey...its just bread...we can cut those edges off."

Running his hand through her hair he gives her a kiss on the head and directs her over to the little table in the kitchen. Dinner would wait for a few seconds while he tried to figure out what was wrong. He had to know.

    "Whats going on? Did something happened with Garret? I can take him back to the Elite straight away if you feel more comfortable with that."
