When evening arrives, the women head out for supper in a couple vehicles. Arriving at the restaurant, they find a big round table to sit out, and the chatter starts immediately.
They order their food while laughing, talking and relaxing away from the stress of the case at the ranch.
During the meal, there is a lull in conversation, and Becky finally looks up, becoming more serious.
“Um…since almost all of us are here…I have something that I need to tell you.” She looks at Rosalynn, who gives her an encouraging nod. “Jim, Rosalynn, Clint and I have been talking a lot the last few days, and Jim feels very strongly about making sure that Rosalynn and I are safe. We talked about going back home at one point, but because the Agency will still be after Jim, we felt it wasn’t wise. However…” She swallows hard. “We have found a safe location for Rosalynn and I to go.”


Jason picks at his food, not very hungry. Jeff’s cooking was good, but no matter the taste, he just wasn’t in the mood. He stops and looks around the room. Most of the women are gone, but there’s an emptiness there apart from that…something is missing…. Looking down at his plate, he admits to himself that the “something” is Katie.


Laura takes Katie to the mall and shows her around, laid back about time, in no hurry, and they pick up something to take back home for supper.
They get back to Laura’s apartment and she helps Katie get her stuff inside, and into the nice guest room. Her apartment is good-sized, neat and clean.
Laura starts getting the food ready in the kitchen and calls to Katie. “Make yourself at home!”
The living room is tidy, and one wall is adorned with shelves of pictures. Many of the faces in them are recognized from TJY, while others appear to be family. Two faces in particular show up more times than any others - Jason’s and Con’s. A large frame in the middle shows a photo that caught the image of what appears to be a summer picnic with many people in the background. Jason is in the forefront in a t-shirt, cutoffs and bare feet, sun glass set up on his head, and he's just having let go of a frisbee that’s waiting to be caught by Laura, while Con is diving to catch it as well. One could almost feel the smile on the photographer’s face.
More pictures of Laura and Con together are interspersed throughout, most scenes caught at events.
