Lily looked over slightly satisfied "Daddy, how on earth do you calm mama like that?" she asked.

Enos said "Its a gift."

Daisy smiled it sure is she thought to herself. Somehow Enos had often been the only one who could calm her.

"Do I have a gift daddy?" Kristen asked.

"Do I have a gift daddy?" Kristen asked.

(LOL don't ya mean Lily)

Enos said "I'm not exactly sure."

(LOL yeah I got confused for a second)

Lily looked to her mother "Do you know mama?"

Lily looked to her mother "Do you know mama?"

Daisy laughed "You have the gift of stubborness that runs in the Duke family."

Lily nodded "I mean something else. Like how dad's talent is what his is."

Lily nodded "I mean something else. Like how dad's talent is what his is."

Daisy thought "The gift of persuasion..you can really persuade someone of something."

Lily gave a thoughtful look "What can I pursuade you of?"

Lily gave a thoughtful look "What can I pursuade you of?"

Daisy smiles "To be okay."

Lily shrugged "You say so mama."

Lily shrugged "You say so mama."

Daisy laughed.

Lily shrugged "You say so mama."

Daisy laughed.

"What's so funny?" Lily wanted to know.

"What's so funny?" Lily wanted to know.

Daisy sighed "I don't know."

Lily just shook her head.

For the most part Lily and Daisy's recoveries went well, but fact that they had been released did nothing to reduce Daisy's worry over her family or Enos' worry for Daisy.

Daisy tried not to worry.

Their lives went on somewhat as normaly. Daisy, although she knew Jake Outlaw seemed a good boy was still worried, but little did she know that he would save Lily and her brothers' and sisters' lives.

Soon that day came.

Jake drove Lily home from school, which wasn't unusual, nor was the two of them enjoying themselves for the afternoon waiting for the bus, but it all changed when the others were dropped off. Someone had been hiding in the bushes just waiting with a gun. His last name was Hogg and he had no intention of letting Jake woo Lily any longer.

The two were laughing and talking as usual

Just then the Hogg jumped out from the bushes, gun in hand, scaring them both and the younger ones. He said not a thing, but the look of murder was unmistakeable in his eyes.

Lily said "Who are you and what do you want?!"

He looked at her "Well you ought to know. . .I'm Hughie Hogg's son."

He looked at her "Well you ought to know. . .I'm Hughie Hogg's son."

Lilly wanted to scream but didn't "What do you want?!"

Jason gave her a look "What do you think Duke? I mean I got a gun i- Why should I even have to tell you? I want you Dukes dead!"
