"I'm doing a package run for my boss soon. I don't think I'm going to like what I'm going to find that day...If it's too bad things will go south fast, he's looking into me now as well. My house is still locked tight too. If shit hits the fan I will be back and I'll be heading back here fast." He reached up and looked at his hand, the cracking he heard earlier wasn't breaking bones. The knuckles were only dislocated, he could fix that. He gritted his teeth and reset his fingers quickly. After that was done he let a jagged breath out and reach up to touch Ree's face.

Ree sighed, wincing as he popped his knuckles back into place, she knew how that felt all to well, with a breath she sighed, leaning into his touch. "Lets hope things dont go south" She stated, again she wanted to tell him to stop to just finish it, but she knew he wuoldnt, he wasnt that type of person. With a breath she licked her lips her hand resting a top of his.

"Your gonna be fine" She whispered, nodding her head, but she was unsure if she was telling herself or him. With a breath she licked her lips, the pain in her own body she had felt before was dissapering, the pain killings soothing her aches, she felt amazing.

He could see her eyes glazing over, he knew what she was doing but he wasn't going to fault her for it. "I know I will, I've lived through worse..." He smiled and looked down at his scars. He had been through a lot of shit, that was true but worse? He wasn't so sure about that.

Ree smiled, glad the for the hazy feeling she felt in her head, why had she stopped taking the pain killers for all those years ago, at this moment she couldnt remember, licking her lips she smiled, nodding her head,

"Good" She stated, securing the wound on the side of hsi face, licking her lips she pulled away and let out a breath, fastening the first aid kit she stood to take it back to the kitchen.

Joker instinctively reached up and brought her back down to his lap. "Ree, when I'm done here we will go away. Find some place without all the needless violence," His voice was soft and gentle. "Someplace were we don't have to mask the emotional pain with the physical, Ree I know your in pain now and I know it's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you into this but you give me a reason to make it home..." He leaned forwards to kiss her cheek.

Ree hadnt been expecting him to reach for her, let alone to pull her down upon his lap and the sudden movement caused pain to surge through her body, she heaved in a breath, eyes scrunching ever so slightly as she looked at the man in front of her, dark eyes locking with dark eyes, licking her lips she sighed at his words.

Taking in a deep breath she lifted her hand smoothing soft fingers over the side of his unmarked cheek, her hand cupping his cheek, eyes sparkling. "Your home," She stated softly, moveing her head so that she could finally kis him once more, oh how she had missed him, missed him with her near her.

"Yes I am, for now." He smiled and kissed her softly, pulling her ever closer to his chest. Why did he have to get involved with her? She complicated his efforts and his life. He knew what he needed to do but didn't want to swallow his pride just yet. "Babe...I might send somone to look after you..." He nuzzled her lightly.

Ree didnt want to think of him leaving again so she just ignored his comment,with a smile she rested in hsi chest, with the drugs running through her system she felt great, but knew soon, when the drugs began to ware down, she wouldnt, she would have to get some more, and surly Walter would notice. She didnt think of that, just furrowed her brow at his words.

"You think they might come here" She questioned with a raised brow, moveing away enough to look at him, her hand soft agaisnt the side of hsi face.

"Carter gets what he wants. He wants you and I don't want him having anything he can use against me. I am gig to talk to Brian, going to train him and going to hire him to protect you. We all have a lot to loose here, I brought you into this and it is gointo get messy." He knew his words were true but he felt numb saying them for the first time he accepted the fact that he had put her in the cross hairs. He felt physically sick, he had never felt fear like this and the world swam for a second. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ree I am so very sorry."

Already her small high was begginging to wear of and she was becomeing restless, the words he was speaking to her not really settling in, with a sigh, she rested her hand on the side of his face, "Dont worry so much" She muttered, boucning her uninjured leg on the floor, a habbit she had thought she would never pick up again.

With a breath she slipped from his knee mvoeing into the kitchen once more, her destination more pain killers.

Walter knew where she was heading, he couldn't bring himself to stop her. He wanted to fall back into his own hole, draw back into that bottle and pretend it would all go away with the blackness. He watched her move wondering if she had the power to stop herself or if eventually he would have to intervene. 'She is taking them for the high, not all people overdose' His mind stated the morbid thought. He shook his head and stared blankly at the ceiling.

She didnt even realize how she had gotten back into the habbit or how she had allowed herself to slip back into something so comfy, she had refused the meds at the hospital so she didnt know why now she was falling back into the situation, it had almost killed her before, and now here she was already popping more pills.

Swallowing she sighed, eyeing the bottle for a long time, before popping two more, closing her eyes she rested agaisnt the counter, before slowly retrunigng to the living room, her body leaning agaisnt the wal. "How long do i have you for" She questioned with a raised brow.

"Two days? Maybe less. Something just doesn't feel right...I get the feeling this is going to get dirty fast..." He rubbed his hands over his face and exhaled exasperated. "You ever get in the ring knowing you're going to win but then you see your opponent and just want to shit yourself?" He chuckled morbidly. "That's how I feel right now."

Two days, two days, that was all she could possibly have with him, with a sigh she pushed herself away from the wall and moved over towards him, with a soft smile she nodded her head, "Yea" She touched his face softly, and draw his face into her hands, dropping a kiss to his lips "And ya know what i win any way"

Swallowing she rested her forehead agaisnt his, she had no idea what he was involved in, what he was going to be doing and that thought scared the living daylights out of her. With a breath she kissed his forehead. "And i know you can, just come home safe to me"

Slowly she stood from his lap and held out her hand for him to take, her clear sparkling eyes locked upon his face. "Come on, lets go to bed"

"Same..." He said following her, his own half limp nearly matching hers. He had along day maybe relaxing with his love would be a good idea. A decent nights sleep without the stress and attack on his body and mind would do him well. A smile crept across his lips as he grabbed Ree and pulled her backwards into him. He wrapped his arms around her belly tightly and kissed the back of her neck under her ear.

She couldnt help but smile and let out a soft sigh as she rested agaisnt him, everything felt freaking amazing. She pulled him to her room slowly, "Lay down on your front, shirt of" She whispered softly, once he was she slowly lowered herself over him, resting her sore hip comfortably.

Pressing herself agaisnt him she placed a soft kiss to his back, "i love you" she whispered trailing her fingers softly over his back.

Walter practically fell forwards on the bed his hands palms up at his sides. "I love you too baby." He calmly said as he felt her fingers trace over him.

Her fingers were soft as they worked his back, fingers finding their familiar place on his skin, "Iv missed you" she whispered as she placed another kiss to his shoulder blade, her fingers smoothing down the plains of his back, skimming up his sides.

Walter closed his eyes at her touch, his body slowly relaxing and forming to the bed, "I've missed you too babe, so damn much." His voice was a whisper now, her touch was turning him into clay. "Killing me softly, that's a new one." He muttered under his breath.

A soft sigh left her lips and she pressed her body agaisnt his back, "You should go to sleep" She whispered softly, herfingers continuing their soft journey, memorizing every part of his body, she didnt want him to leave again, but knew he would.
