Natalie: Okay. Love you too bro. Bye.

Keith: Bye

~~~~~End of Conversation~~~~~

When I hung up, I felt someone in my presence. I turned around and came face to face with Dana.

"Sorry,"she apologized,"I didn't mean to scare you."

"Its fine" I breathed.

"I just couldn't sit in there anymore," she frowned.

"Is it always like that?" I ask.

"Only when Patrick suspects that his sons have done something wrong," she replied,"Usually he questions both Thomas and Carter, but I guess he's just got a hunch."

"They're not gonna start throwing punches are they?" I wondered.

"Lets hope it never comes to that," she sighed,"Anyway, how long have you been with Carter?"

"Just a few days," a replied.

"I'm just gonna come out and say it," she smiled,"I hope you and Carter get married." Whoa, she's jumpin way too far ahead here.

"Why?" I chuckled.

"Well you're the only girl that Carter has dated that I like," she laughed,"And, you're a good influence on him." I just met her, and she already likes me. I'm really glad she likes me, Dana seems like a good person.

"Thanks," I smile.

"We should probably get back in there, before they think that I've done something to you," she laughs. I smile then follow her back into the dining room.

When we got back into the dining room Carter and his father were arguing. Again.

"Martinez is an old bag of dust, he'll die before he can lay a hand on me," Carter smirked. Dana put her hand on my shoulder, and I sighed. I sat down in my seat, and Dana sat in hers.

"You think your untouchable Carter," Patrick smirked,"Just wait until Martinez gets his revenge."

"Patrick," Violet gasped.

"It's true Violet," Patrick admitted,"Carter thinks he's untouchable, and for now that may be true. However, are the others around you untouchable?" Patrick looked at me, and I gulped. Carter followed his dad's gaze, and his eyes went wide.

"If you're assuming someones gonna hurt Natalie, you're wrong," Carter glared.

"I'm not assuming anything," Patrick clarified, "I'm just telling you to watch your gang."

"Whatever," Carter mumbled.

"Okay, lets get off this topic," Violet sighed,"Natalie have you met the girls yet?"

"What girls?" I asked.

Dana chuckled,"No she hasn't."

"The girls are in Moscow that's why," Carter smiled,"They should be back soon though."

"What are they doing in Moscow?" Thomas asked.

"They're on a mission," Carter smirked.

"Who are these girls?" I asked once more.

"They're the only girls in my gang," Carter smiled,"Don't get on their bad sides, they'll kick your a*s. AJ knows know from experience, don't you AJ?" Everyone at the table chuckled.

"Yeah I wouldn't mess with them," AJ muttered.

"How many of them are there?" I wondered.

"Four," Carter replied,"Sabrina, Avery, Madison, and Lynn. They're gonna show you the ropes, when they get back."

"Why?" I questioned.

"You're gonna be in my gang," He smirked.

"Yeah okay," I laughed, and took a bite of my chicken. Man this family can cook.

"You think I'm joking?" He smirked.

"Carter you can't force her to be in your gang," Dana explained.

"Thomas forced you to be in his," Carter laughed.

"Watch yourself Carter," Thomas growled.

"Hey I was just-," Carter was cutoff, by a man coming into the dining room.

"Sir we found Chance's body in a Creek, out on Dixon trail," the man boomed. I looked at Carter, who was already looking at me.

"Call Fredrick," Patrick ordered, "Tell him that I'm gonna need an autopsy done ASAP."

"Got it sir," the man replied, and left the room.

"I think its time to go," Cole sighed. Wow, that's the first time Cole has spoken throughout this entire dinner. "We have a drop to do at Midnight," he announced.

"I completely forgot about that," Kai sighed. Kent, Cole, Carter, Kai, AJ, and I stood up from our chairs.

"Thank you for dinner tonight Violet," I smiled.

"Your welcome dear," she smiled,"I just wish you guys could stay longer."

"Yeah," Dana smiled,"Maybe we could come over sometime?"

"We'll see," Carter answered, and kissed his mom on the cheek.

We walked out of the house, and over to the car. We all got in, and Cole drove away.

"That was close," Kent admitted.

"Yeah it was,"Kai added.

"Way to lie back there Natalie," Carter complimented.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"Yeah good job," AJ smirked,"I thought you were gonna blow the whole thing."

"Thanks," I frowned. I wonder whats gonna happen when Patrick finds out that Carter did kill Chance.
