Joshua Knight

Josh rubbed his face. Three hours. Three hours he had stayed at the hospital for a guy he just met yesterday... or something. His head was in his hands and his eyes were plastered on the red and orange colored waiting room floor. Medical white shoes came from the corner of his eye and he looked up. "Your Matthew's family?" A older looking nurse asked and he went with it and nodded. "Come right this way." She smiles a little and motions with her head for him to follow. He checked her over from the back unconsciously and she had light brown hair, resembling the age she really was. "Matthew is fine," She must have read his mind and he sighed, relieved. "It was only heat exhaustion. But there could be a reason why he was doing that to himself?" She asked it as a question and Josh was thinking of what she said and didn't notice as she looked back at him. He jumped a little bit, feeling embarrassed and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not really in his personal life..." He said as the nurse pushed open a door and Matt's familiar face turned towards him. He still looked pale and his eyes were somewhat dull. "Are you okay?" Josh asked and rushed forward. The nurse left and Josh scooted up with a chair and sat next to the bed. Matt nodded and Josh frowned I'll tell Willa tomorrow. He thought and leaned back into his chair, watching the Tv that hung in the corner.

Willa

"Crazy mother trucker undercover lover...She’s country!”

(Boredom filler )

Willa, waiting for some remark from Brenton, checked her phone. There was still no call or text and she was getting a little more worried. Biting her bottom lip, Will found her call history and sent out a call to Josh's phone. She had to remember to put his number in her contacts or her luck she would lose it. Willa waited patiently, the phone ringing loudly. Each time it ringed, more fear gripped her stomach. "Come on Josh.." She practically begged into the phone. Willa at least wanted to know how Matt was, if there was any word. She understood if he didn't want any extra company, but she was till so curious and concerned.

- { - Brenton - } -

Brenton looked at Willa listening carefully, from what he had heard Jarred sounded like he really meant business with Willa and that made him a little angry about it but he didn’t show it on the outside. One of the talents he had learnt a long time ago was how to hide some of his emotions, but he only learnt it when his parents died. ‘even though you don’t’. That hurt a little, yes Brent did have some feelings towards Willa but he wasn’t sure what to reply to that. Maybe he would just be the same he always is when he tries to hide his true feelings. “I’ll set the dogs on him” he added trying to cheer her up a littler since the topic off Jarred seemed to be a big one for her. “How about you take Taco with you while you wait for your puppy to arrive, he was a biter when he was little though he bites on command” he added “Great for scaring away people” he added, if he couldn’t stay around to protect her maybe he could send one of his dogs over and try to help her feel better, well it would make him feel better if she did.

“Besides he probably wouldn’t know what you do in your spare time unless he personally spies on you or something, and well no offense but my dogs are pretty good at picking up trespassers in the mountains” he added trying to make her feel better. “Marina might go... be there if Neal’s there of course... What if you went with me? Willa, would you come to the random bonfire party with me?” he asked raising an eyebrow at her a serious expression on his face before a smile replaced it. “You never know until you try, I promise it won’t be that bad. There’ll be fireworks and everything” he added shrugging a little but the smile remained on his face.
“Wouldn’t want to miss out on fireworks would you?” he asked sounding a little like the younger less serious Brent.

He watched as she muttered something about Josh and frowned a little “Oh is that your secret boyfriend or something?” he asked though he was only really messing around with her.

Joshua Knight

Josh felt a vibrate in his pants pocket and he quickly pulled out his phone. Willa? He thought then answered the phone. "Hello?" He says and glances at Matt who looks briefly at him then returns to a show on animal planet. Two lions were taking down a wildebeest impressively and he only half payed attention to it. Matt had eaten most of his dinner and he looked much better then he did before and Josh was beginning to relax more.

Willa

Windy Acres Ranch – Twenty four
"Crazy mother trucker undercover lover...She’s country!”

Willa watched Brent's face, and no emotion wavered on his face. Dang. She thought she might have him. Willa was testing Brent, whether he knew it or not. A couple of times, when she had mentioned Matt, he seemed a little disturbed, and that gave Willa an idea. She was serious about her comment 'even though you dont', but at the same time, if he did, she wanted to see it on his face. But the emotion never showed and surprisingly it hurt deep down inside. However, just like she always had done, Will kept it locked away, looking at Mannie. "I dont want to take your attack dog." Her eyebrows lifted at him almost in a tired manner. "What if you get mobbed by girls screaming 'OMG YOU ARE SOOO HOT!!!' ?" The image that flashed in her head, caused Willa to bury her face into the crease of her arm to hide a laugh.

The 'personally spies' part was not off by much, but she didn't say anything. Willa would take Taco, to keep herself safe, and give herself a piece of mind until her pup was old enough to come home. Though Taz probably wouldn't know exactly what to do, he could try. His talk about the bonfire only made her sigh, and look longingly at the far off mountains. Asking her to go with him, she would feel horrible if she refused. Wow was she getting soft! "Fine Ill go with you, but be prepared for me to walk away at certain times." Though she didn't say it, being with Brent and having fireworks seemed perfect. Yup...she was losing it. Oh well.

"Yes, because I have a secret boyfriend." Willa rolled her eyes at him again, but gave a tiny smile at the tug of her lips. "Id be the last girl any guy would want. Im pretty sure they would settle for a camel first." The phone she was holding to her ear came to life with Josh's voice.

"Josh!" Her voice was worried. "Have they said anything? Is he okay? What happened?" The questions spilled out faster than the waters of niagra falls.

Joshua Knight

"Yeah, hold on." He stood up and looked at Matt who looked like he was dead tired and Josh felt somewhat bad for him and smirked a little bit before leaving the room. "They say hes okay. It was caused by heat exhaustion and they think something happened to him that made him do this to himself." He paused, then decided not to say anything. " I was gonna call you tomorrow and tell you. Matt probably doesn't want to see anyone that might cause him to... Over do himself tonight." He insisted and listened on the other side. It might be her that caused the problem but it was only a guess, so he wouldn't ask until ready. His free hand skimmed the white bare walls of the hospital as he went down to find a vending machine.

II Marina Ramano II 22 II Brierwood Ranch II Horse: Amara

Marina stayed in her room as she fiddled for something under her bed. When she finally felt the familiar shape she brought out an old shoe box that said "Back Pocket Secrets" across it's dull brown lid. It was where she stored all her childhood memories and secrets even though they may seem simple to others. She opened the lid and slipped the money inside before quickly closing it and pushing it under her bed once more. She could not let anyone see it till she got the opportunity to give it back to Neal. A sudden knock at her door made her jump in fear as she quickly got up to answer it. Opening the door, there stood her grandfather with a gentle smile "Marina, there you are. I'm fixing to go get the horses ready and I need your help." Marina nodded as she stepped out and followed the older man downstairs when she remembered what Willa said "Papa, Willa has a young colt she's been raising and was wondering if you would like to purchase it from her." She wanted to forget about the money for the moment as her grandfather put on his jacket and looked to her "A colt you say? Well, anything miss Willa raises is bound to be good. Plus I have been meaning to look for another horse for you since we will be breading Amara soon." Marina was surprised that her grandfather was going to breed Amara. It's not like she hadn't been bred before, just not in for a long time is all. "Who are you going to breed her with?" Marina was a little upset that she would not be able to ride her horse for quite some time but was curious as to who the stud would be "I thought Nachos would be a good choice. Hes a strong stallion with beautiful coloring and stamina. With Amara's even temper and personality, I thought those two could make a pretty good horse together." Marina did not like the idea of her horse being bred with Nachos, that stallion was mean and grumpy and Amara always bite his nose in retaliation. But Marina would not speak up for her horse or against her grandfather for that matter as a knock came from the door.

Mr. Romano opened the squeaky screen door as two men in sharp looking suits stood at attention towards them. Her grandfather gave them a skeptical look as he spoke in a confused but polite voice "Yes can I help you?" The first of the looked to him quickly while giving Marina a sharp examine as well. She cowered under his gaze as he spoke to Mr. Romano "We are searching for a man named Neal Tyler Milligan, Age twenty four, rides a motorcycle, short cropped hair, wears a jacket about the same color as yours. He is thought to originate from these parts and is under the investigation of the FBI thievery of the fine arts." Both Marina and her grandfather stood there for a few moments rather stunned and mouths half agape before Mr.Romano broke the silence "Uh well there are a lot of Neals in these parts. You might have a better shot at finding him downtown." The tall man just stared at them with emotionless eyes before looking to them both "If you do happen to see him contact us using this number." They handed her grandfather a card before turning to her "This man is potentially very dangerous. He is a master thief so I suggest you keep your personal belongings locked up and hidden." With that they turned and left into their very nice looking black car before driving off. Marina and Mr.Romano just stood there watching them drive away till he closed the door. Everything was silent for a few moments before Marina finally drew up the courage to say something "It can't be the same Neal...it just doesn't add up, please Papa don't turn him in. Not yet, we don't know the truth behind all this." Mr.Romano just looked to her and shook his head "I'm not saying anything just yet Marina. These city folks always seem too slick to me, I'm going over to Willa's place with Tullio and Ezio. While I'm gone I want you to stay here and keep safe you hear? We will discuss this more when I get back." Marina nodded her head as her Papa walked out the door and to the stables where her two brother's waited before riding away. Marina hoped Neal would be alright and was terrified at what had just happened.

Willa

Windy Acres Ranch – Twenty four
"Crazy mother trucker undercover lover...She’s country!”

Willa gripped the phone tightly, but made herself loosen the grip she had when she felt the phone feel weak under her. "Yeah, whatever." Was all she said, and the tone was not pleasant at all. Will snapped her phone shut and kicked a rock that sputtered across the ground. Dust billowed a cloud around her boots. She could tell just what Josh was thinking with his few words. He was suggesting that she did something that caused him to overheat himself. What in the h*ll had she done?! All she did was tell him that she had to go to Brenton's for awhile, and then all of a sudden she got the phone ca--- The stupid jerk! Something dawned on her and even in the heat, Willa's cheeks all of a sudden seemed to burst into red flames, her eyebrows narrowed over her iced over blue eyes.

(If you want, you can have the men call Willa's cell)

(Oooh :O What happened? ^^ What did she find out? :3)

Joshua Knight

Josh's heart skipped a beat when she said her last two words and the phone beeped. Call ended. Uh oh He thought and jogged back down to Matt's room, forgetting his snack. Matt seemed like he was on the edge of sleep and Josh ran a hand through his hair. "I don't think Willa likes me..." He insisted and looked at Matt who didn't acknowledge it nor open his eyes more. He looked like he needed his sleep so he decided to stay quiet and watch the rest of the show. His chair screeched back and Josh leaned his head in frustration. "Was it Willa who made you do this to yourself?" He wanted to ask so badly but Matt didn't say anything since Josh first arrived. How was he certain he would say something then?
