Loss

Helping Sparky get Mick to the bunkhouse wasnt to hard as mosly Mick was out of it and couldn't put up a fight. Dan wasnt sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing considering Mick really didnt like him to much to start with.

"Yeah it does look like he got you good. The joy of having an older brother huh?"

Dan gives a small laugh before breaking off from Sparky and heading to the dinning hall once again. Glancing around the room Dan see Jade over in one of the chairs and lets out a small sigh. The night was over, and all fun forgotten once again.

Heading into the kitchen it only takes Dan a few minutes to whip up some hot coco with extra whipcream on top before he makes his way back over to Jade.

"I thought maybe you could use a drink to warm you up. I know I could."

Giving a little smile Dan sits down at another over size chair by Jade one he had sat at many times before when he couldnt fall asleep. Now was another time when sitting here seemed good.

"Your dad is gonna be ok. He'll just have one whopper of a headach in the morning and feel alot of regret probley."

Thinking for a long moment Dan takes a sip of his hot coco before speaking again a sad look passing in his eye for a moment.

"In the morning, dont be to hard on him. Not knowing if you son is alive or not is a hard thing ya know? Not saying his actions where good, just...has to be hard. Now are YOU going to be ok?"

I will, thanks J. I am gonna do a look around the ranch and make sure everything is ok than probley head to sleep myself. I'll talk to you in the am.

Going over to Jeff Katie gives him a kiss on the cheek and a squeeze. She had, had a nice time with him today and even cryed a little over hearing about her mother. She was going to miss him when she went back home but she would see him again and that braught her joy.
