Piper’s and Valentina’s Place:
Valentina covers up a yawn as she continues to study rules and regulations governing bounty hunters and bail bonds people in Kansas. She was sitting in her favorite bean bag chair that she just purchased a few days ago. Piper teased her about it, but she liked them.

She looks towards the sliding glass door and saw that it was raining heavily outside. She hopes Piper isn’t out in that mess. She listens to the radio as it plays in the background.

Lately, the whole K&P crew has been attending the required classes they are required to take before they could open a business in Kansas. Kat and Paul had to restrain themselves from making remakes about their instructor. The man teaching them, had problems with Kat’s appearance and with Paul as well.

Kat just ignored the ignorant bastard. As for Paul, well the instructor found out what happens when you piss off an American Italian bounty hunter. Kat had a smile on her face when Paul threatens to put the instructor in a body cast. If Kat had her way, she would have neutered the guy.

Valentina’s stomach starts growling. She places her hand over her tummy “alright, I’ll put some food in you.” She stands up off her bean bag and walks into the kitchen.

Piper had made dinner last night and there were leftovers from it. She opens the refrigerator and looks for the container that had the leftovers in it. She spots it hiding behind the milk. She reaches inside and pulls it out.

Valentina grabs a small bowl from the cabinet and places some of the leftovers in it. She puts the bowl in the microwave and reheats it. She puts the rest away for later. Once the microwave dings to let her know it was done. She grabs a potholder and pulls the bowl out.

Piper made a stew last night using buffalo meat. It was tasteful and unique. They still had half a pot left of the stew. She heads back into the living room to eat and study.

K&P Service's, Kansas Office:
Kat looks at the workers as they go about installing new sheet rock and running new wires. She couldn’t believe how much work needed to be done to bring the old building up to code. She spots her husband looking at the new reception area. She walks over to him “so, what do you think?”

Paul looks at Kat as she stood next to him “whoever is going to be working here, will have a nice area.”

“That’s what I am hoping. According to the designer, this area will have all the latest office equipment. Plus, the new security system being installed will be centered here.” Kat had gone over the security layout with a specialist from the airfield.

The guy was well respected around the area and his employment history had come back cleaned from Morgana. She was sending a crew from the Castle out to the new office to install all their networking equipment and lines. Plus, she was going to have them set up all their computers and tablets as well.

Morgana was going to link the two offices, so they would have access to each other’s database. Also, she was going to link the two offices to Camelot’s criminal database as well. Camelot got special access to the National Criminal Database. Kat knew Morgana had access to government databases as well. However, those were hacks she established herself. If the government ever found out, she will be in some serious trouble.

They had to get a special permit for the indoor shooting range. Since they will be training their people how to use guns and such. Valentina was getting her firearm instructor's license and so was Crystal. They were being trained by a guy from the airfield that was a licensed firearm instructor. Brittney was still too young to become a firearm trainer.

“Do you think the girls are going to be able to handle this office?” Paul looks at his wife.

“I think they will. They need our approval for any bond over half a million dollars. Unless Brittney wants to use her own money.” Kat knew how
much money Brittney had from the various jobs they did.

“Aren’t Terri and Jill due back soon?” Paul looks towards the front door of the new office for them.

“Don’t worry, about Terri. She can take care of herself. I suggested that she takes Jill shopping for clothes and to the salon to have her nails and hair done.”

“You know, you could have gone with her.” Paul looks into Kat’s cat-shaped eyes.

“I’m planning on spending time with Jill. It’s going to be just me and her. Terri has been asking if she could go back home and stay with my sister until we get things sorted out here.” Kat knew Terri wanted to follow in her aunt’s footsteps, instead of being a bounty hunter.

“I don’t see why she couldn’t. Is it alright with your sister?”

“You know my big sister. She’ll never say no to her favorite nieces. If we hadn’t adopted Terri, I think my sister would have.” Kat was glad that her family loved her daughters.

“True. I don’t see why Terri couldn’t. when do you want to send her home?” Paul will miss Terri, but he understands why his youngest wants to go home.

“I’ll send her home in a few days. I want to spend some time with our daughters. In a few more years, she’ll be off to college to study law.” Kat knew she’ll miss her babies.

Paul wraps his arm around Kat’s shoulder and just holds her close to him. He knew how much she enjoyed being a mother and how much they are going to miss the girls when they leave the nest.
