In the Day

Sitting at the table with her coffee cup Angel swirled it around. She was tired but awake, hurt but trying to focus with what was more important right now. She wished she could help more, but she didn't know how honestly. But she was ready when they needed her.

Hearing Con's question Angel looked up at him quiet for a moment thinking. It was hard thinking that far back because in all honestly it had been a really really long time. But she tried to pull the memories she could of him from the dusty boxes.

   "He never really had a family, and when he found out he did have one...he was thrilled. He loved being here part of the family, but than the time came for him to go his own way like so many of us back than."

Taking a sip of her coffee Angel falls silent again thinking back to those days. Most would say the older days were easier but when thinking about it really it was a lot rougher than now.

   "Back in the day we didn't have The Elite at our back and things were a lot harder. I think...it took its toll on Lane and he just had to get away. I can't blame him for that. There were many times I wanted to get away too. But I had built my home here, and this was more of a family than I ever new. This ranch game me a new life, and owed it to Rosetta to stay, on top of wanting to stay. Lane didn't have that. So he left...and now...we are here."

Nate couldn't help the look of surprise that passed over his face. He hoped Jason would agree but he didn't think it was going to be that easy. He thought at least he'd have to try and convince him. But maybe this would be a good thing and would make the blow from Reese he was sure to get a little better.

   "Geee Jas...dont make this easy or anything."

Nate couldn't help the small smile the passes his lips at he looked to Garret and than back to Jason again. Thinking for a long moment he considered the options.

   "You can't go and I think it would be better if Katie stayed with you. I need to at least not make Reese to mad."

Falling quiet again Nate looked down at the map on the table. He new this was one of the best options they had, that didn't mean he wasn't nervous though.

   "I think Garret as the decoy, and Wyatt would be a good option. Now I just have to pray Reese wont kill me himself."
