The plane landed, Beth stepped down and Josh like to lose his teeth. His mouth dropped clear to his chin, his eyes like to bulge out of his head. Of all things his pants tightened in the crotch. He wanted to swear at his reactions to this gal. God! Oh God! But this dame is drop dead gor-geous, a beauty! One to make a guys mouth water like a running spigot! He has one damn word for her...

Little Armi's screaming, Rafe took a flying dive into the pool had her up and out in seconds. Laid her on the ground, couldn't feel her breathing. He pumped and pumped on her chest.

Realizing who and what he was doing whooshed out air slowly said, "Mister...if...you...don't...remove...your...damn... hands...you will be missing your reproductive oragan!" Rafe jumped back, what the hell is she about? Does she think I'm trying to rape or seduce her in front of her family? Then got angry. "Lady, my balls are a hellluva' lot more important to me than you! Go ahead and die! And thank you very much, too!"

Glenn the poor kid is sound asleep in my room. Tonight he stays tomorrow make your own damn arrangements! Good-night Katy-Dee, I love you," away she went. Hart stared after her, "Who the hell is that torn-ado? Guess she told me off, huh? Is she rich?" "Yesss...she told you off, huh! Yes she's rich! You'd be shocked if you knew who that tornado is!" "Are you telling me?" "Nooo..."

She's quite well known in her field, very much in demand I might add..." he snickered, only said that to taunt Alec, but it's the Gospel truth. If Alec knew the McKenna family secret he'd die. It's a day long over due. One he can't wait to see Alec get his just deserve for deserting his daughter in her hour of need. And put-ting her through 6 years of hell.

"Mister...I had better have heard you wrong or you're going to wish you were dead!" Polo yelled, "You didn't? Her father won't like it! He wants more than a Professor for his daughter!" And what a show he put on acting all flustered for his daughter for app-earances. Now if they can talk Lee into it, the plan can start coming together. He wanted to slap Parker on the back and say, "Good Job!" "You heard me right all of you! When Dad asked, Lee's name popped out so Lee...how about it? I'll make it worth your while," he smoothly asked, waiting for the storm to break. In an angry fit Lee picked up a very expensive vase and threw it at him, before she ran off screaming. Parker looked at everyone bemused, "Guess...that was a no?"
