night to make sure
she gets home safely. No one would even have to know unless they
cause trouble, not even Sam."
    "That would be great if you could do that. I
certainly would feel a lot better. Those guys are going to get
suspicious if I start walking her home every night."
    When Goose gets back to the ranch he tells
the team about Jim's concerns regarding Sam's safety and the two
construction workers. Scoot sets up a schedule for the guys to take
turns being at the bar every night to watch Sam as she walks home
from work. Stump is not on the schedule.
    Now Stump has one more thing to feel guilty
about. By saving him, Sam is now in danger. His stomach rolls
painfully at the prospect of Zeke and Jeb getting their slimy hands
on Sam. Anger simmers just below the surface. It must just be
anger, he couldn't possibly be jealous!
    The Drake Security team is monitoring the
conversations from Mel's that evening when they hear an exchange
between Susie and the two construction workers. Stump tells the
guys, "That's Susie talking to Zeke and Jeb, the two that drugged
me."
    Scoot compliments, "She handled that very
well. I'll give Sam credit, she's very smart."
    Pinky nods and says, "You weren't kidding
about a sexy southern drawl. That doesn't sound anything at all
like the Sam we know."
    Stump, encouraged that the guys might
understand why he didn't recognize Sam, entreats, "Wait until you
see her, she doesn't look anything like the Sam we know either!
Scoot have you got those cameras up yet?"
    Pinky asks curiously, "Have you really been
flirting with her?"
    Embarrassed, Stump reluctantly says, "Yeah, I
even asked her out."
    Goose says unbelievingly, "She must be good
if she was able to fool you. I wouldn't have thought there would be
any way the two of you could even be in the same room without
arguing."
    Scoot says, "That's enough guys, we're
supposed to be listening to their conversations. Here, come look at
the view from the cameras. It's dark in the bar but we have a
fairly good view."
    Stump gets up off the sofa and glances at the
picture on the computer screen. He sees Susie and he has his usual
reaction with his member immediately springing to full attention
even though he knows now Susie is really Samantha. She is just so
beautiful. He never realized how beautiful Samantha really is. He
begins pacing around the office thinking to himself, damn, he's not
ever going to live this down, but his Dad must be right, some part
of him must really like Samantha for his body to respond to her the
way it does. Besides, the sex was unbelievable. He can't wait to
have that experience again!
    Pinky looks at the computer screen and asks
unbelieving, "Is that really Sam? She certainly looks different all
dolled up like that."
    Goose adds, "No kidding. Stump you need to
make up with her, she's absolutely gorgeous."
    A wave of relief washes over Stump. The guys
do understand why he didn't recognize that Susie is really
Samantha.
    Scoot says, "Goose, you're up first, so hit
the road. Call us if you need help."
    ******
    Zeke and Jeb left the bar early tonight
because they have a special little party planned for Susie. They
followed her home the night she hauled Rance out of the bar to her
apartment and they know exactly where she lives. They hung around
the bar long enough tonight to make sure Rance didn't show up and
now they are waiting inside Susie's apartment for her to come home
from her shift at the bar. They've got a case of beer iced down, a
bottle of tequila, lime, and a full box of condoms. If she can
share that great body with a good for nothing like Rance Kincaid,
she can damn sure share it with them!

    Goose is parked in the parking lot across
from Mel's Bar at closing time. He watches as a gorgeous looking
Samantha Wells exits the bar in her tight fitting jeans and low cut
t-shirt and heads across the street toward her apartment. Just as
she reaches the opposite side of the street a truck speeds down the
road, stops, grabs
