Hey, my name is Hailey. I am a third year corrections student in Lethbridge. One of my good friends is in my class and I live with another. I am an average looking girl with dark brown hair that is slightly past my shoulders, bright green eyes and I am 5 foot 1 inch. I am very active in sports and in martial arts. My chosen career choice is hard for any guys to understand. I will be working in a jail with male offenders that have committed some of the most serious offenses. With that being said I there are not many guys that take notice of me and when they find out they run the other way faster than the speed of light. With this I am not concerned I am busy with school, working security for Jepeto holdings, volunteering with a ranch that saves horses and training guys are not something I am worried about right now. This was until I met six very understanding and curious guys, or should I say lads. This is the story of my life.
Story Back Ground It’s Thursday morning and you were up until 3:00am working on your paper for your "women in correction" class. You had to be at the university early so that you could print it off and hand it in. All you can think about is going back to bed and getting some much needed sleep. As you are walking out of the library you hear your best friend Erin calling your name. You turn and see her heading towards you with two Starbucks cups. When she gets to you she gives you a hug and one of the cups. “Hey Hails! I thought that you could use one of these. I was up until 3 getting the paper done for Barb. Remember, is it is your turn on Monday to get the coffee” “Thanks for the coffee. Oh trust me, I know what you mean! Then an 8:30 class... It’s just disgusting. It’s like we don’t have anything better to do.” “Hey, since the class is cancelled tomorrow, do you want to go out tonight?” “Erin, you know I would love to but Steve has me working the Celtic Thunder concert all day tomorrow. Which means I start at 7am and work until 11pm. Aren’t you working it too?” “Yea, I am, but I don’t start until 5:30. Where is he putting you all day and why did you say you would work all day?” “I am at the overhead door most of the day supervising, then, I think, I am at the dressing rooms. I said I would work all day because I need the money, and it pays well.”
“Hey ladies, how are you this morning? Hailey, are you sure you can work all day tomorrow? It’s going to be a long day." “Sure Steve. I have worked all day for you before. It won’t be a problem at all.” “Thanks ladies. Oh and Hails, don’t forget your handcuffs like you did for the last concert when you needed them.” “I won’t. But Steve, it's Celtic Thunder not Three Days Grace. I don’t think I will need them. Really, how much trouble do you think people will get into?” “I know, but it’s just something you need to have on you. Now, you two get to class and I will see you tomorrow morning, Hailey, and you tomorrow evening, Erin”. "Later, Steve" both girls say as they walk to class. After class, the girls get ready to go their own ways. “Hails, what are you up to now? Do you want to go for a run?” “I could do that, Erin. Meet me at my place in about 15?” “Yea. Sure” As the girls were out on their run they run past a group of guys. Group of guys “Hey Ry! Check that out” Neil points to the girls as they run past. “Neil, good eye mate. They have nice form. The short one looks sort of familiar." Ryan says. “Hey lads, let's get your stuff into the hotel… George said, coming out to see what was keeping Ryan and Neil. “Hey George, do you recognize the short brunette?" Ryan asks. “Not from here. Let’s get your stuff. Damian and Keith want to go for supper and you know how they get when they don’t get food.” Laughs George. Back with the Girls They see the men, but don’t really pay much attention to them. After the run they head back to Hailey’s place. “All right, girly. I will see you tomorrow night. Try to get a good night's sleep, Hails. You are going to need it.” “See you tomorrow.” The next day when you walk into the center, things are already buzzing. You walk down to the security room to get your radio and then head down the hall to leave your jacket in the staff room. As you walk back to the overhead door, you see your boss with your breakfast. “Morning Hails! Here is your breakfast and tea, as well as your lunch ticket. You have everything you need? If so, I will see you later.” “Thanks Steve. I have everything. See you later." You get your breakfast and bag of books and go to your assigned place to sit and start your long day. You’re sitting there working on some homework when you hear people talking. You look up and see Neil and Damian walk in. You know who they are. After all, you are a fan and did get to meet them before, but you decide to have some fun with them. “Morning guys! Can I see your passes please?” “Yea, no problem luv.” Neil says; finally looking up to see you. “Thanks guys. Dressing rooms and catering are just that way.” You tell them, pointing the way with a smile. “Hey lads, what’s going on?” Paul says as he and the rest of the lads came in to the venue. Paul looks at you like he thinks he has seen you before but is not too sure. “Morning all! I need to see your passes just this once, then you can go on in.” They all show you their passes and walk in the direction that you pointed out to the other two. As they walk away, you hear them talking to each other. You hear one of the lads say that they have seen you before. You sit back down with a chuckle and continue to work on your homework. With the lads “Ry, man, I think that was one of the girls from last night that ran past us." Neil says. “I think you are right. After I eat, I am going to go over and talk to her. She looks so familiar.” “Ry, I think you are right. I have seen her before. But where?” Damian asks. The lads eat their breakfast while Hailey does her walk-around to make sure that the rest of the staff have everything. Back with Hailey “Hailey, do you know who that was that just walked in?” Agie asks. “Umm... Santa Clause? I know it was the guys from Celtic Thunder. I thought we covered this, that they are just guys.” Hailey giggles. “Haha! Now I remember why I love working with you so much. You’re such a smarty pants. Enjoy doing homework and keeping us safe." “Get back to work and make sure Kurt does not fall from the ceiling.” Laughs Hailey as Agie walks away. “Sorry to bug you, Miss, but you look like someone that I have met before. Can I get your name?” Hailey looks up to see Ryan standing in front of her. “Sure, my name is Hailey. And yes, we have met personally before and saw each other last time you were here.” “Hey, you were in Toronto in October of '09? Asked Damian as he joins the two. “I was there for the filming of Storm, yes." “You were the girl that was studying in the hotel lobby the whole weekend. Weren’t you?” asked Neil, coming up to the group. “Yep, that would have been me… Drugs and alcohol, here I come.” “I remember that, don’t you, Keith?” Paul said, as the rest of the lads join the group. “Wow, it’s a party here now. Anyways, what can I do for you guys?” asks Hailey. “We just thought that you looked familiar. You are also the girl that asked for our wrist bands last time we were here.” George laughed. “Guilty as charged.” Laughs Hailey as she raises both hands. Hailey’s radio goes off. “Hailey, you are needed at the lower south west doors now!” states Mike. Hailey takes off at a dead run leaving the guys standing there in wonder before they finally decide to go and see what is going on.
Hey guys this is my first story. Let me know what you think like many of you say coments make the world go round.

Meanwhile at the other door. “What's the problem, Mike?” Hailey asked. “Um... These guys want in and I told them that because there is a show tonight, they can’t, and they demanded to see my supervisor.” Hailey looks at the two guys. “Crap, Mike! They were in the unit that I worked in at the jail. This might not be good. Hello guys. What can I do for you?” “We just came to see what all the trucks and tour busses are about,” one of the guys says, while walking farther into the building. “I am sorry guys. We have a show here tonight and you can’t be in here.” Hailey said politely. The lads show up and sit there and watch what is going on out of hearing range. “Hey, I know you! You’re the girl that is looking at becoming an officer at the jail. We don’t need any more officers there and we are not going to leave. If you want us to leave, you will have to make us." Said the shorter of the two. “Come on guys. You really need to leave.” Mike said. All at once, the tall guy looked at Hailey and balled his fist. “We don’t need this crap and we don’t need any more officers.” The guy with the balled fist took a step towards Hailey and hit her right in the face. Mike and the lads just stood there in shock and watched as Hailey quickly got up and dealt with the situation. The same guy went to hit her again, but this time she blocked it, put him in a wrist lock, took him down to the ground, and handcuffed him. She got up just in time to see the other guy pull out a knife and come at her swinging, but not in time to move before he cuts her hand. Not even thinking, she sees him coming down with the knife and steps out of the way. He keeps swinging and puts it into his own right leg. She then handcuffs him. “Hey Len or Agie, can one of you guys call the police and maybe the paramedics? Oh, and can one of you bring me a towel and some ice, please. I am down at the lower south west doors.” Hailey says into her radio. Ryan walks up to her and hands her a towel for her hand. “Wow! That was incredible! How did you know what to do? Are you ok? I mean, it looked like it was over before it even started.” “Ryan, I am fine, and I learned it in school. Like he said, I worked at the jail for a week while on my practicum last year. When I first got here, I knew there was going to be trouble with them.” “That was insane! How are you so calm?” Damian asks, handing her a bottle of water. “Thanks Damian. In my chosen career, you have to be able to asses and react in a calm and quick manner. It becomes a reflex to react the way I did.” The lads nod in understanding and move back to where they had been standing, but not before several of them pause beside the cuffed men on the floor and make their opinions of the actions that landed the guys in cuffs known to them. Hailey pretends not to hear, but can barely keep from laughing at the tone of some of the phrases, like, "Disgraceful!" "Poor excuse for a man." And her favourite, "Guess he wasn't in danger of hitting anyt'ing important where he planted that knife..." The police and the paramedics show up and take over with the two guys once they are sure that Hailey is ok and does not need to go to the hospital. The police ask Hailey, and all seven of the guys that witnessed the incident, what happened and filled out the police reports. By this time, it’s time for lunch. “Hailey, can you have lunch with us? George asks. “I can’t. I have to take my lunch back to the door that I am covering. Thank you for the invite, though.” Hailey walks back to the catering with the lads and grabs her lunch to take back to her door. As she is eating and working on her school work, someone comes up behind her. “May I join you?” Hailey turns to find out who it is and sees Ryan. “Sure. Just let me clean up a few of my books.” Ryan sits down and looks at her text books. “What in the world are you doing with all these books?” “Yea, I know there are a lot of them. I have six three thousand level classes this semester and I need to get them done before I can finish the paper work for next year.” “You're taking six university classes and working here all day?! I think you are on crack, and not the Irish type. What are you doing next year that you have so much work to do?” “Ryan, that’s great. That is something I say to my friends when they are crazy. Next year is a placement. I will spend ten months working in an institution without pay to get experience in the field.” “Where do you want to go next year to work? Are there many places that you can go?” “There are lots of places that will take free labour. I have a placement at the Maghaberry prison. I just need to find a place to stay.” “Maghaberry prison? The Maghaberry prison in North Ireland? You are crazy. You do realize that it's maximum security. The worst of the worst are in there. How does your family feel about that?” “Ryan, between you, me, and the gate post, they are not too thrilled about it, but they understand it’s what I need to do.” “So, how are you going about finding a place to stay?” “I have made contact with some of the ministers over there and they are asking anyone that does not have small kids in their congregation is willing to take a border for a year.” “Why anyone without small kids? Don’t you like children?” “I do, but I will be working shift work so it might be harder to get some sleep during the day.” “Good point. Well, it was nice talking to you. I need to go get ready for sound check. Have a good, and safe, rest of the day.” "You too, Ryan, and good luck tonight. Although, I am sure I will see you again today. It’s 5:30 “Hails! How was your day, girl? Steve told me that some guys tried to beat you or something? Was it one of the guys from the band?” Erin asks as soon as she sees Hailey. “My day was good, and two guys tried to beat me... The key word here is tried. I have never been so glad that we had to take that self-defence class last year. And no, it was not one of the guys from the band. How was your day?” “Well, not as exciting as yours… Oh, my! PINK PINK HOT PINK. Look at that guy! He is a hottie!” “Erin, I luv ya, but you need to breathe. That is just Neil, from the band. Would you like to meet him?" “No, that’s ok. So, you got to hang out with all the guys from the band all day... How did you stay sane?” “They are just guys. Super nice guys. Anyways, Steve wants you at the blue line by the stage. I need to get to the dressing rooms. I’ll see you after the show. “Later, girly” Back at the dressing rooms. “Hails, how was your super? Was it better then what we had?” Neil asks. “I don’t know, Neil. I have not had a chance to eat it yet. My friend just brought it for me. “Was that the girl you were talking to? She is sort of cute. She was the girl that we saw you out running with last night?" “Yes ,that was the girl I was talking to. She thinks you’re pretty darn cute yourself. However, that is sort of creepy that you know who I run with.” “Haha! Very funny. Ryan and I saw you two running past our hotel. We were not creeping. Love to stay and finish this chat, but I need to get on stage.” “See you later Neil” Hailey laughs as Neil runs onto the stage and everyone cheers. “That smells good. What is it?” Ryan asks while taking a seat next to Hailey. “It’s my super that Erin brought for me. It’s Chinese.” “Looks and smells good. So, what are you doing after the show? We are not leaving until tomorrow since it is only a three hour drive to Calgary.” “Well, I was thinking about going home to bed, since I have been up since 6:00am. Why do you ask? “Well, I was wondering if you want to join us for some drinks in the hotel bar after the show?” “Let’s see how I feel after the show. How does that sound?” “Sounds great. Oh, sorry! I've got to run. My turn. See you later.” “Later, Ryan.” The show seems to be a hit, as besides the music, you hear the fans screaming and clapping. All the lads seem to be on such a high as they go on and off the stage, each one stopping to chat for a few seconds. After the show, you decide to go to the hotel bar for a drink. At the Hotel “So, lass, what can I get you to drink? Keith asks “A pint of Guinness, may I suggest? After the morning you had, I can bet you need one." “Thanks Keith, but a soda will be all that I am having tonight.” “Well, that’s no fun. No fun at all!” Ryan comes up with your soda. You say thank you and take it from him and go and sit at a table. You take a sip and to your surprise, it is what you normally drink. You look at him funny. “What? Did I get your drink wrong?” He asks you. “No, no. Not at all. You got it right down to the lime. How in the world did you know that I drink Diet Pepsi with lime?” “Ahh... See, lass... I am a man of many talents and mystery.” Ryan says with a sly smile and a wink. “You are definitely one of a kind, Ryan. One of a kind.” You and Ryan chat for a while, and every now and then one of the other lads stops by the table to chat, then takes off. You look at your watch and decide that it is time to call it a night. “Ryan, it’s been great getting to know you but it’s getting late. I should go.” Ryan looks at his watch. “Wow. I can’t believe that it is so late. I should get upstairs to bed. Umm... Do you think I could get your email or something? I would like to stay in touch, if that’s ok?” Ryan asks as he blushes. You think to yourself, How can a man that seems so sure of himself on stage be self-conscious when asking for a way to stay in touch? “Sure,“ you say as you write down your email for him. He walks you to your car and gives you hug just before you get in and drive off. You get home and look at your cell and see that you have a text from Erin telling you she wants details on your night. You text her back saying what happened and then crawl in to bed exhausted. Just as you are about to fall asleep your phone vibrates on your night stand. You groan, thinking it is Erin but decide to see what it says anyways. You push the button on your phone and see that it is not a text, but an email instead. It’s from Ryan. “I had a great time today and tonight. Sweet dreams, Hails. Ryan” You fall asleep with a smile on your face. Three weeks go by when you get an email from one of the ministers over in Ireland. In his email, he tells you that one of the older couples in his congregation would like to have you stay with them for the year that you will be there. The room and board that they will be charging is less then what you wanted to pay. It also says that their names are Sharon and John Kelly and that they will be getting in touch with you through email.
Ok hear is the next part let me know what you think.

But that’s not the only email you get. Yes you and Ryan have been emailing back and forth mostly just little trivial things like: how’s your day, how was school, how the show, and random little questions was asked trying to get to know each other. This one from Ryan was different the tour was over and he wants to come back to Lethbridge to see you. You are so excited that you email him back right away. You tell him that would be grate however, it depends on when. It’s April already and you have exams coming up this week. You also tell him you have some big news but that will wait until you see him. He emails you back saying that he can’t wait to see you and hear what your big news is. You walk out of your class from writing your last exam when you see this guy in a baseball hat leaning agent the wall just opposite of the door. You smile and walk down the hallway when he calls out. “What you’re not even going to say hi or nothing. I traveled 12 hours to see you and all I get is a smile.” You turn back to him at the sound of his voice. You know that voice and accent any place. You walk back to him with a big smile. “Hey! I was not expecting you hear. You never told me when you were coming. How did you find me?” “Ah lass that is my little secret” he says with a wink at Erin. “I wanted to surprise you on the last day of exams.” he says as he bends and gives you a hug and a kiss on your cheek. “So tell me your big news.” “This is a great surprise but I will figure it out.” Hailey and Ryan had started walking down the hallway to the front door. “Well Ryan it looks like I have found a place to live next year. The couple are really nice. They live about a 40min drive to the jail.” “That’s grate but I am not sure I like the idea of you working at that jail. I don’t think any women should be there. But since it’s what you want to do then I am happy for you. When do you leave?” “Gee thanks “dad”.” Hailey said laughing. “My dad said the exact same thing when I told him, and I will tell you the same thing that I told him. I will be fine there are over 150 guards working at any given time and we each have each other’s back. I will be fine.” “That still does not make me feel any better. So when do you leave?” “I will leave Lethbridge at the beginning of May to go home for two months so I can see my family then I will leave for Belfast on the 30th of July and land there on the 31st of July.” “That’s crazy. So tell me about the people you are staying with.” Ryan asks with a little smile. By this time they are driving over to the south side of the city to where Hailey lives. “Well they are an older couple. They have kids but they are all grown and living on their own. I can’t remember where they live off the bat but their names are Sharon and John Kelly. They are charging me less then I was asking to pay. Which is nice since I still have school work to do.” Hailey says as they pull in to the car park at her place. “Sorry about the mess I have lived here for five years so I have a lot to pack and that was my study brake. Uhg I hate packing!” They walk in to her basement suit that she shares with Tash on of her other really good friends. Ryan looks around the space with wide eyes. All the boxes are neatly staked and labelled where they belong. “You have got to be one of the neatest packers that I have ever met”. Ryan laughs “They sound nice. Maybe I will see you around. Since there is only so many places you can hide.” Ryan says with a wink as you blush. “I was wondering if you would like to go out tonight?” Ryan asks shyly “Umm I like order? Ryan I would love to but since I leave hear in a week and a half and we are all done exams my friends and I are going to the Latin club as sort of a good bye party. But since your hear and I don’t really have a date for that would you go with me?” “Yea sure. But I should tell you I can’t Latin dance at all. I am worse than Damian off beat clapping in Raggle Taggle Gypsy. Could I at least take you to dinner beforehand?” By this time they made their way throw the maze of boxes to the couch. You try to stifle a laugh as you picture that image. “Sure Ryan we can do that. And there are dance lessons when we first get there and you will have a great teacher who is from Latin America. I will warn you though it is sort of a dressy club so jeans and a shirt with no collar won’t be allowed in.” All of a sudden a little knock on the door could be herd. “Hey little man what are you doing down hear? Does your mom know where you are?” Hailey asks as her little 2.5 year old nephew coms walking in with his cars movie. “Yep. Cars?” He says holding up the movie to her. “Ryan this is Grant my sort of nephew. Grant can you say hi to my friend Ryan?” “Yep.” Grant says as he climes on to your lap. “I Ian” he says as he smiles and looks at Ryan and hands him the movie. “Cars ese” Ryan laughs. “Hi Grant it’s nice to meet you. You will have to ask your auntie Hailey if you can watch it sorry buddy.” Grant looks at Hailey with his big eyes. “Let’s go see if it is ok with mom Grant and if it is I will put it in for you ok?” Grant smiles at Hailey and gives her a hug and kiss as he gets off her lap as Hailey takes Grants hand to go back up stairs. She terns and looks at Ryan and says “That she will be right back and that if he is thirsty he can help himself”. As they head for the door. When Hailey comes back down after putting the movie in She sees that Ryan found the glasses and the water. “He is a cute kid.” Ryan says as he hands you a glass of water as well. “Yea he is, and a good kid at that which is what is going to make it harder to leave. I have been around him since he was born”. “He seems like he really smart and that he really likes you.” Ryan says with a smile. He amazes me, he is very smart and he loves his Cars movie, he has seen that movie probably about a million times and still wants to watch it.” Ryan looks at you with a smile on his face. “So how many times have you seen it with him?” He says with a laugh. “Oh you know 5 or 6 hundred time. You look at the time and remember that Erin, your roommate and you are going for a run in about 15 min. “Hey Ryan Erin, Tasha and I are heading out for a run in a bit, did you want to come along or you can take my car and go back to the hotel, or I’m sure that Grant would let you watch Cars with him.” “That’s a hard one, how about I go back to the hotel and sleep for a bit and get ready to go out. Are you sure I take your car?" “You hesitate for a second then say “Sure just as you remember that we drive on the right side of the road and not kill my car I think it should be ok, besides the hotel is straight up the street.” Ryan chuckles and takes the keys you are holding out. “I will try to remember that. Be back here to pick you up at 7?” You shake your head and walk him out the door. He gets in your car the one that you saved up for you think to yourself. What have I done? I really hope that he and my car come back in one piece. The girls walk in and ask were your car is and you tell them. “Are you crazy? That’s your baby, your dream car.” Tasha says as she feels your forehead. “Well she doesn’t have a fever.” “I know temporary insanity. That’s got to be it.” Erin chimes in. “Umm guys I am standing right here and I can hear you. Let’s just go for our run and do the long one. Oh I should tell you that Ryan is coming tonight to the club after we go to diner.” “Right on the more the merrier. Does he know how to Latin dance? Erin giggles. As you start your run. “No but I told him he would have a good teacher. He is getting the best of the best” You say as you look towards Tasha and wink. Since Tasha’s boyfriend is from Latin America. As your run continues you guys banter each other back and forth laughing and reminiscing. When you guys get back to the house you all take turns getting ready for the night well salsa music could be heard all over the house. You are sitting on the floor in what’s left of your room getting ready when both girls come in. “Hails let me do your hair; this might be the last time I will get to do it in a long time. Erin states as she grabs your curling iron and a hair clips. As Erin is doing your hair Tasha decided she wants to help and starts doing your make up. By the time they are done and you are dresses it is 6:45. You are amazed at how long it took the girls to get you ready. Your long dark hair curled and pined half up half down, your makeup looks like it was professionally done casing your bright green eyes to pop. To go along with the look you have on your red halter dress with a little bit of a fuller skirt and some sequined embezzlement around the part that ties; and to complete the look a pair of whit gold earrings and silver strappy pumps. Just as you are walking out of the bathroom the doorbell goes off and you hear Erin take-off up the stairs to answer it. In her haste to get the door she falls up the stairs. You and Tasha fall to the floor laugh and call out to her “You would think it was you going on the date with the hot Irish guy!” Both girls are still laughing when the two come down the stairs. “Really you ladies think I am hot.” Ryan says cocking and eyebrow. Well both girls turn as red as Hailey’s dress still busting a gut laughing. When both the girls can finely breathe, Hailey looks at Ryan for the first time and her jaw nearly hits the floor that they are sitting on. “Ryan you look wow…umm great.” Hailey stutters out. Ryan is standing in front of the two girls sitting on the floor in black slacks and shoes with a burgundy dress shirt and black vest. He offers you his hand to help you up with a chuckle “Thank you. You look amazing you’re self. Shall we be on our way to dinner?” You blush “Thank you. I guess we should be going. See you girls at the club at 9 for lessons.” You go to grab your coat and purse when Ryan grabs your coat and helps you in it. The girls both call out “Be Good! “As you are closing the door and locking it you hear them laughing. You get to the car he opens your door so you can get in. You shake your head thinking that this is the weirdest thing ever. “So where to for super?” “Well I called and got a table at 360*. I hope that is ok.” “That is fine. It’s a nice place I have only been there once. That time we were totally under dressed I think this time we will fit in.” You say with an uneasy laugh. You both make it through dinner without spilling anything thankfully. You pull in to the club parking lot as see that everyone is pretty much there. You two walk in and see the table with everyone’s things. As you are walking over Agie grabs you in to a hug. “Hey you two finely made it. Hi Ryan how are you.” “Hi Agie I’m good sorry I kept her later then planed.” Ryan says looking at all the couples dancing on the floor. Hails can you dance like that?” “Sure can most of the people here can. There are the few exceptions.” Agie raises her hand. “My husband and I are the exceptions and some of the older crew members that are hear.” The song changes and Kurt comes up to your group. “Hey Hails, you made it you look grate.” Kurt says with a kiss to the cheek. “Hey Kurt, thanks you clean up pretty nice yourself. Do you remember Ryan?” “Hey Ryan how was the rest of the tour?” “Kurt right? It was good I am looking forward to the down time and time back home.” “That’s good time off is always good. Do you mind if I steal Hails for a dance before the dance lessons?” “Sure go ahead if she would like to I won’t stop her.” “Are you sure Ryan I don’t want to leave you hear alone.” “It’s ok Hailey I will take him over to the table and we can talk until the lessons start.” Agie offers. “Umm ok let’s go Kurt.” Kurt garbs your hand and walks you to the dance floor. Once on the dance floor Kurt terns Hails and pulls you close. You can feel eyes watching you. You are facing the table that they are at and can see that Erin and Tasha are there too so you feel a little better about leaving him there. At the Table “Ryan you are a good man. I don’t think there are many other men that would let her go and dance with Kurt.” Phil Agie’s husband says “What do yea mean?” Ryan asks with his eyes still glued to the two dancing. “Nothing about her but Kurt has had a thing for her for the last three years ever since she started working at the center. I am not even sure that she knows but don’t worry they are just friends she has made that clear to him.” Erin chimes in “but they sure do make a grate dance couple.” Agie looks at Erin and says “Not helping.” Everyone then starts to laugh. The song ends and you and Kurt walk back to the table and grab a drink. You are standing when Ryan takes your hand. You look at him confused but he just smiles back. You think to yourself I think we will need to have a talk later… if you remember. The dance lessons start and you can’t help but giggle when you realize that he was not joking about the whole of beet clapping. By the end of the night he was Latin dancing like it was something he has always done. On the way back to his hotel two are in idle conversation. “So did you have fun once you got the hang of it?” “It was actually really fun. I was not sure how I would fell about it but it is grate.” “You say that now but wait until you wake up. You will have sore muscles that you did not know you had. I am glad you had fun! So when do you leave to go back to Ireland?” “I have to be in Calgary the day after tomorrow. I hate to ask but would you be able to take me?” “Sure it would be no problem I am suppose-to meet my brother up there on Monday.” “That’s grate thank you so much. So you’re going to meet up with your brother?” “Yea we are really close and with me moving to Ireland for the year is sort of hard on him. After all I am his baby sister.” By this time you are at the hotel Ryan leans over and gives you a hug and gets out before her shuts the door he says to you. “Thanks Hails I had fun see you tomorrow?” “Sure if you want to sit there and watch me pack. I have a week to be out of here.” You laugh “We will see what tomorrow will bring then. Good night” Ryan says as he closes the door. The next day goes by like any other day to you when you are packing. The only difference was the fact that Ryan was there to talk and to make sure you ate at least one meal. Since Erin and Tasha are at work. “Hails I need to ask what’s going on with you and Kurt?” “Ryan Kurt is a great guy but he is just a friend. I think that he may like me but there is nothing there for me. Why do you ask?” “I was just wondering you too seamed really close, and well I have to be honest I think you are a great girl.” “Ryan there is nothing going on he is just a good buddy of mine, and he is one of the guys that I fight with on Tuesday nights at the martial arts club.” “Ok I was just wondering. So what do you do for fun when you’re not at school or the club fighting?” Ryan asks as he hands you plates out of the cupboard to pack. Hailey lets out a little laugh as she takes the plats that he is handing her. “Well I volunteer at a ranch that save neglected horses, play sports and music. What about you?” “Well you know about the music thing as well as sports and reading. That’s all I really have time for. So what is your favourite horse that you have worked with?” “The one that I am working with now, he is a Black Arab Horse with green eyes and he stands 6’4. I have been working with him for that last year and a half. The owners of the ranch are letting me keep him if I move to another place, or I can sell him and keep every penny.” “He sounds beautiful. So what are you going to do with him well you are over in Ireland?” “Well I am going to take him up to my parent’s ranch and bored him well I am gone.” They talk and pack more stopping for meals and to take Grant to the nearby park. They called it quits at 8:00. When Hailey looked around the house she could not believe that they got everything packed other then what she would need for the next week. “Oh my goodness Ryan thanks for your help. I can’t believe that we got it all done in such a short time. It would have taken me for ever to do. “No problem luv it was my pleasure.” Ryan said as he hands her a soda from the fridge. “I have had to pack up a house myself so I that help is greatly appreciated.” “Well you are right it is.” They make their way to the couch to sit and relax. So you want to watch a movie? That is one thing that I have not packed yet.” “Sure what do you want to watch? Ryan asks as he gets up to go to the DVD shelves. “It does not matter much so you pick. If I did not like it I would not have it.” “Hails I am home.” Tasha says as she walks in to the house. “And I brought some pizza and soda. Oh hey Ryan how are you?” “I am good Tasha, how are you? We are just getting ready to watch a movie do you want to join us? “I am good now that I am done work, I will join you guys in a bit I need to shower I smell like old people. Go ahead and start the movie and pizza I will be out in a few minutes. The three of them sit and watch the movie well sort of about half way through the movie Hailey and Tasha are fast asleep. Ryan lets out a light laugh when he noticed the girls. By the time that the movie is over Hailey’s head is on Ryan’s shoulder. He very carefully gets up and lays her on the couch and covers her with a blanket, and kisses her on the top of the head. When he looks up he sees Tasha with a smile on her face. “That was so cute. I’ll take you to your hotel, it’s a long walk. Ryan blushes “she is a sweet girl that would be great thank you.” They get in to Tasha’s car and as they drive to the hotel part way there Tasha looks at Ryan. “She likes you Ry and if you hurt her Erin and I will hunt you down. Most guys can’t handle what she has chosen for a career and has been hurt many times.” “I would not dream of hurting her she is one of a kind.” With that said Ryan gets out of the car at the hotel, before he shuts the door he thanks Tasha for the ride and says good night. It’s now Monday morning and before Hailey take Ryan to the airport she log in and check her grades to make sure she can go to Ireland. Ryan is sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea and hears her scream. “Hailey what’s wrong?” he asks as he walks to her room “My grades are up and I got a 3.8 GPA!! I am defiantly going to Ireland” “That’s great. But we should get going if I am going to make my flight and if you are going to be on time to meet your brother.” Ryan says giving you a hug. “You’re right.” You say as you write a note to your Tasha and grab your cup of tea. You forgot how early 6am is. In the car on the way to the airport Ryan falls asleep so you put your I-pod on to help keep you awake. Once you hit Calgary Ryan wakes up. “I’m Sorry I fell asleep. How long was I out for?” You laugh and tell him “You were out like a light as soon as we hit the highway.” “Sorry” “Don’t worry about it I normally do this drive this early by myself. You are now at the airport and you both get out of the car. You go to the back to open the hatchback and grab his suit cases out. “Promise to keep in touch?” He asks as he gives you a hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Yea I will.” You say returning the hug he looks at you then walks in to the airport without looking back. You get in your car and head to your brothers place with a tears in your eyes.

2 months later.
Hailey is out on her parent’s ranch working her horse well her mother was watching her.
“You know Hails you have a way with these animals, they have a deep trust in you.”
“I know they are such an amazing animal. I am going to miss them well I am gone.”
“So you leave tomorrow are you excited?”
“I am a little nervous about the fights and meeting the family that I will be staying with. They are meeting me in Belfast at the airport.
“I thought you were going to take the bus out to their place.”
“I was going to but they insisted that they would come and pick me up at the airport.”
“Well they seem like really nice people. I hope you have a good time and stay safe.” By this time Hailey has taken Thunder in to the barn to brush him down. “Why don’t we take a picture of you and Thunder to take with you?”
“Sure mom we can do that and then I am going up to my room to go to bed and finish packing.”
“It is only 2 in the afternoon. Why are you going to bed so early?”
“Well Ireland is 8 hours ahead of us and some of my friends are coming over to say good bye. I think that we might take out the horses for a bit go out back to the field and have a bonfire.”
“Sounds like it will be fun remember though no drinking a riding. Have a good sleep I will finish up hear.”
“Thanks mom” Hailey said as she hugged her mom than headed back to the house.
At the Airport.
“I can’t believe that our baby is moving half way around the world.” Cry’s Hailey’s step dad.
“I am only going for a year I will be back before you know it. We will talk every Sunday on skpe.”
“Now you email us as soon as you get back to the Kelly’s house or to the hotel so we know you got there safe.”
“You know I will mom. I always call or email when I get to where I am going.”
“All right you better bored the plane before it leaves without you. On second thought let’s stay here and talk some more.”
“Daddy I am getting on that plane.” Hailey said as she hugs her mom and dad one more time. “Don’t worry guys I will be fine over there working.”
Hailey walked towards the gate with a look back to her parents with a smile and a wave she finally boarded the plane for the long flight.
At the airport in Belfast Hailey waits until most of the people are off the plain to grab her stuff. As she walks off the plain in to the terminal she sees an older couple that seem to be looking around for someone. She glances down to see they are holding a sign with her name on it. She walks over to the couple. “Excuse me Mr. and Mrs. Kelly? I am Hailey O’Brian.” “Oh good Hailey you did make it. I am Sharon and this is John. It’s nice to finally meet you, and please call me Sharon.”
“Hailey shall we head down to the baggage claim to get you luggage?”
“Sure thing MR. Kelly I do have 1 large suitcase and 1 medium.”
“Please call me John Hailey. So you were not really what we were expecting for an officer that will be working at a jail.” John states as they walk down to get Hailey’s luggage.
“I get that more times then you could shake a stick at.” Hailey laughs “I know I am not exactly the biggest and most intimidating but I can get the job done.” They get her luggage and head to the car.
“So Hailey you will be staying in one of our son’s old room, and I hope you don’t mind but for your first supper with us we are having both boys over and their families. We know that you are most likely tired from traveling.” Sharon says as they drive the 50 minute drive to Hailey’s new home. “Now luv we want you to feel like you are at home with your family cus as of right now you are a part of ours. If you need anything don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Thank you so much for taking me in. It is a great help. I am actually not that tired I started to prepare for the time change a few days ago. ” Hailey says as she stares out the window. “This is the most beautiful place that I have ever seen.”
John laughs “Well there lass you came at the best time. It’s not raining! No matter how much you prepare for the time change it will still catch up with you.” They finish the drive in silence. Once they get to the house in The Moy Hailey go to the back of the car to go and get her suitcases. “It’s ok there lass I will grab them you go on in the house with Sharon and she will show you to your room.”
“Thank you John let me at least take one of the bags. Hailey says as John hander her the carryon bag. “Gee thanks for letting me take the smallest bag.” Hailey laughs.
“Get used to it luv over hear we call it chivalry and both my boys are the same way” John says with a wink. The two walk in to the house.
“You have a lovely home” she says as she follows the couple upstairs to what would be her new bedroom well she is in Ireland.
“This will be your room, and there is a bathroom just down the hall to the left. At the end of the hall is where you will find extra linens for your bed and extra towels as well. Dinner will be at 6 so that should give you some time to unpack and get settled a bit. Oh and there is Wifi if you brought a computer and hear is the pass word dear.” Sharon says with a smile on her face as she reaches for Hailey’s hand.
“Thank you so much for everything.” As the Kellies leave Hailey to get settled she pulls out her I pod and starts with her biggest suitcase. She has vacuum-packed everything so she could fit what she would need. She pulls out her patchwork quilt that her Tasha’s mom made for her one Christmas, and her pictures from home including the one that was taken 2 days ago of her and Thunder. She fires off a short email to her family saying that she got the Kellies and that she is safe. After the email Hailey get comfortable on her floor so she could sort through her stuff when all of a sudden she feels really tired and falls as sleep sitting there leaning agent the bed and her hand in her suitcase.
Down with Sharon and John.
“Ryan said that she was a sweet girl and that is the understatement of the year. I did not know there were people out there like her at all.” John says to his wife.
“Oh I know, but I do worry about her working in that jail.” Sharon says as she works on supper.
“You worry about who ma?” Ryan asks as he enters the kitchen and gives his mom a kiss on the cheek.
“Hailey, she just seems so pint-sized, one of the guys could breathe on and she would fall over.” John says with a little chuckle.
“Da, Ma don’t worry about her too much she can handle herself very well if she needs to I have seen this first hand. But I do still worry about her too.”
“Hello ma, da, and Ryan. Who can handle themselves? Asks Ryan’s brother Aidan as he and his family walk in.
“Hailey the young women that is living here for a year well she works at prison nearby. Now that we are all here we can have supper. Teagan will you set the table and Ryan can you go get Hailey from her room. She is in your old room.” Sharon directs everyone. Well Ryan goes to get Hailey Aidan takes the his two kids to go wash up.
Upstairs.
When Ryan gets upstairs he sees that the door to Hailey’s room is open slightly so he knocks lightly on the door. “Hailey it’s time for supper.” When there is no reply or movement in the room Ryan slowly opens the door. What he sees makes him smile. There she is lying on the floor with her hand in her suitcase fast asleep. Ryan walks in to the room to where she is kneels down so that he could wake her up.
Hailey all of a sodden feels a light touch on her cheek. The next thing that she sees makes her jump 10 feet in the air. There in front of her with is hand on her cheek is Ryan. She takes out her headphones. “Ryan what in the world are you doing here?”
“Well lass you are in my part of the world now and well you are in my old room.” Ryan laughs as her helps her off the floor. Me ma sent me up to get you for supper, everyone is hear.”
“How did I end up at your parents?”
“Why don’t we talk about that after supper, everyone is waiting down stairs for us” he says as he grabs her hand to head down stairs. Once they get to the dining room Ryan lest go over her hand and pulls out her chair for her. Hailey blushes as she sits in the offered chair. “Sorry we took so long she was a sleep on the floor.”
“Well I guess we should do some introductions here. Hailey this is Aidan, and Teagan, and their two boys Cole, and the little one in Conner. You already know Ryan. Everyone this is Hailey and she will be living with us for a year.” John introduces.
“Oh, so you’re Ryan’s Hailey, the one from Canada then? Well it’s finally nice to meet you.” Aidan states as a matter of fact well Ryan blushes and gives him the look of death.
“Umm I guess so.”
“Ok everyone now that we have embarrassed both Ryan and Haile, let’s have supper before it gets too cold to eat.” Sharon replies in order to keep Ryan form killing his older brother.
“So Hailey, tell us about yourself, all we know is what our wee little brother has told us.” Teagan asks with a wink towards Ryan.
“Umm there really is not much to tell. I go to school, work security when I am needed and work with horses that have been neglected.” She says as she takes her first bit of food. “This is really delicious Sharon. What is it?”
“Well luv if I tell you, you won’t want to eat it.” Sharon says as she watches Hailey tern slightly green. “I am just slagging dear it’s just beef stew.” Everyone has a little chuckle at Hailey’s expense. She is quick to recover and have a little laugh herself.
“No really tell us about what you are doing hear and what your life was like back home. Remember you are a part of the family. Now Ryan said something about seeing you handle yourself in some type of situation?” John asked.
“Oh that, it was nothing really.”
“Hailey don’t be so modest that was crazy, I don’t think any of us that were there would have handled that situation so calmly.” Ryan encourages her.
“Well I was working at the center were Celtic Thunder was performing, and these two guys, who we know are associated to one of the largest gangs in Canada came in to the venue and started to case a little bit of trouble. They recognized me as someone that had worked on the same unit that they were in. As soon as I saw that in their faces I know there would be trouble so I dealt with them accordantly and well that was that.” Hailey said with a shrug.
“Hails there is still more to the story then that.”
“You tell it then Ryan, to me there is not much more I was just doing my job.” Hailey shrugs. With that said Ryan tells the story without missing as single detail. It was like it had just happened yesterday. During the story someone would make a say something about what had just happened. Hailey looked over at the two little boys sitting across from her and Ryan. She had to chuckle to herself hear they are listening so intently on what was being said with their mouths wide open and their eyes so big it was in away comical.
“Wow Hailey that was really brave of you. So tell us all what you are doing over hear in Ireland?” Teagan asks.
“Well my fourth year in my program which is corrections is a direct field study. One of the classes or should I say papers that I need to write is on comparative corrections, so I need to experience more other countries and there correctional system. So what better opportunity to see where some of my family is from.”
“How old are you?” This comes from wee little Cole.
“Cole that is not a polite question to ask someone. So yea how old are you Hailey? I want to know what my little brother is chasing.” Aidan asks with a raised eyebrow. With that said Hailey looks over at the guy that is sitting next to her, that is turning bright red and is glaring daggers at his older brother.
“It’s no problem with him asking me that question. You on the other hand Aidan have a wife and should not be asking that question. Hailey said with a wink towards Teagan.
“Umm yea… but… that was not the reason why I was asking. Aidan stammered with that everyone at the table broke out laughing.
“To answer your question Cole I am 27.”
“Aren’t you too old to be going to school?” asks Cole confused. When everyone saw the look on his face they could not help but laugh.
“Cole hunny people can go to school at whatever age when they get older. Teagan tells her young son. “Sorry about that Hailey he is at that age.”
“It’s no problem Teagen. She is right Cole, this is my second degree. I received my first degree when I was 24. Hailey tell Cole in a calm and gentle voice.
“Waite what you are working on your second degree you never told me that. What is your first degree in?” Ryan asks with a confused look on his face.
“You never asked… but since you just asked it’s in psychology.”
“Oh wow that’s great. You don’t look old enough to have a degree already.” Replies John.
“Thanks John.”
“So when do you start at the jail?” Sharon asks as she stacks the dishes to go in to the kitchen.
“I stat September 6th at the jail, I do however need to go to the college for some more self-defence training and to be certified to use my firearm in Ireland.”
Ryan raises his eyebrows “They are going to give you a gun? Is that safe?”
“Yes it is safe. Why do I feel like I am getting picked on… It’s just like being on the ranch with my family.” Hailey says with a bit of a laugh.
“Sorry luv, if it gets too much just let me know. So when do you start at the college?” Ryan asks.
“Umm 2 weeks I think. I need to send them an email to tell them that I have made it to Ireland. Hailey says as she gets up to help clear away the dishes and food that is left over. Well the adults clean up from supper the two boys go out back to play. Hailey starts to fill the sink with hot soppy water to wash the pots and pans with.
“Hailey don’t worry about doing the dishes go sit and chat with everyone, I will do those.” Sharon says as she tries to kick Hailey out of the kitchen.
“It’s no problem besides it’s the least I can do.”
“Trust me dear you will have plenty of opportunity to help with dishes over the year.”
“Mum I will help her with the dishes; you go and sit with the others.” Ryan volunteers.
“Well since Ryan has offered to help instead of being told to I guess the two of you can do them.” Sharon says as she gets tea ready to take in to the sitting room. “You 2 hurry and then come and join the rest of us for tea.”
“We will mum, it should not take long there is only a few pots and it looks like Hailey just about has them washed already. Ryan terns back to where his mum as he dry’s a pot to see her gone from the room. With that he tern back to Hailey. “So what do you think of my family?”
“There great a lot like mine.”
“Do you miss them?”
“Not yet I just got hear. Besides I have a little bit of them with me.”
“Sorry if they teased you too much, they were just trying to welcome you.”
“Ryan it’s no problem at all, like I said it’s like being home with my mom and step dad.” Hailey says as she rinses out the sinks.
Ryan turns to look at Hailey. “Hailey” Ryan starts but then is interrupted by little Conner running in to the room with a shriek and trying to hide behind his uncles leg.

Ryan bends down to eye level with his little nephew of 2. “Conner can you say hello to Hailey?” “Lo ley” Conner says as he raps his arms around his uncle. With this Ryan stands up holding the little guy. “Hello Conner.” “Duds play eas?” Conner asks with a look to his uncle. “How about we play in a little bit why don’t you go get Cole and play?” “Ok Duds…” he says as he gives Ryan a kiss and points down to the ground. When Ryan puts Conner down he takes off with a shriek in search for his older brother. “He’s a cute kid.” Hailey says as she folds the dish cloth and leans against the counter. “He reminds me of Grant.” “Yea he is. We should get in to the sitting room or ma will send a search party.” Ryan laughs as he and Hailey head out to the front room. “So Hailey what are your plans for tomorrow?” John asked as the two came in to the room. “Oh umm… I was thinking about going to see if I can find a gym and a car rental place, and maybe look around the town.” “Well I can take you around town and show you where the gym is. If you would like.” Ryan ask shyly casing Aidan to let out a quite laugh which led to Teagen smacking Aidan on the leg. “That would be ok. Thank you again for everything but if it’s all right with everyone I think I should head up to bed.” “No problem Hailey you have had a long day traveling.” Sharon said “We will see you tomorrow Hails sleep well.” Ryan said “I will stop by sometime late morning to get you.” As Hailey went up the stairs she became overwhelmed with the need to sleep. When she got up to her room she decided that she should check her mail to see if her family replied to hers, seeing that they are 8 hours behind her now. She flips open her computer to see she has an email from her brother and one from her mother. “Hey trouble hope your flight was good. You have only be out of the country for 2 day but I miss you like crazy. I will be on skype on Thursday at 12 noon my time… we need to chat. Love you, miss you, bye. Anthony The email was much like the one from her brother, without the trouble part. After reading her emails, and replying to those that need to be replied to she put on her pyjamas and sat down to finish putting things away. She just finished when all of a sudden little Conner came running in to her room and sits in her lap. “Well hello Conner what are you doing up hear?” As Hailey asks the little boy the question Conner raps his arms around her neck and cuddles down. “Aw thank you Conner we should take you back down stairs to your parents.” “Ok” with that said Hailey stood up and headed down stairs with the little boy still in her arms. “I think that this belongs to you.” Hailey said as she enters the room with the little boy that had just about fallen asleep on the walk down the stairs. “Sorry about that Hailey” Teagen said as she takes Conner from Hailey. “It’s not a problem… I was just finishing unpacking when he came in to my room… I think he is a little tired.” Hailey says with a laugh as she looks at the little boy now a sleep in his mother’s arms. “Now if you would excuse me once again I am off to bed for sure this time.” Everyone tell Hailey good night as she heads upstairs to bed. The next morning, Hailey wakes up fairly early to go for her run. She is starting to feel the effects of her travels in her muscles. As Hailey heads down stairs and passes the kitchen she hears someone in the room. “Good morning Hailey did you sleep well?” “Oh good morning Sharon, yes I did thank you?” “Where are you off to this early?” “I was just going to go for a run. I am feeling a little restless from traveling.” “Ok have a good run, take an apple before you go.” “Thank you, have a good morning.” Hailey heads out the door with an apple in one hand and her ipod in the other. It was a nice morning, the grass was green and the air smelled of rain. Hailey jogged to the park that was close by then stretched out once she was done she headed back to the road and started to really run. After about 2 hours she headed back to the house. When she finally reached the house she noticed a Jeep Cherokee parked out front. Hailey walks in to the house as she takes out he head phones. “Sharon I am back.” Hailey says as she walks in to the kitchen where Sharon was sitting with someone elts.” “Hello Hailey would you like to join us for some tee?” “Thank you I would love to, but I really should take a shower first.” “Good morning Hailey, did you have a nice run. You sure were in the grove.” “Oh good morning Ryan, I sure did. It felt so great to get back out there.” “That’s nice, so what time do you want to head out?” “Umm about 20 minutes? Does that sound ok?” “Yea that sound good.” “I don’t think so missy, you need to eat breakfast first. You have been out running for over 2 hours… we don’t need you getting sick on us on your first full day in our care. I don’t think your parents would be too happy with us if we let that happened.” “I suppose you are right; however I am going to jump in the shower quickly.” Hailey runs up the stairs to take a quick shower. By the time she heads down the stairs it is about 15 minutes later. “Wow you have got to be that fastest shower that I have ever seen.” Ryan says as Hailey sits down at the kitchen table. “Hailey what would you like for breakfast?” “I can get it if you would just tell me where to find a toaster and bread that would be just fine.” “Well if you want toast there is a toaster in the first lower cupboard on the left, and the bread is in the pantry.” “Thank you.” “So Hailey, were do you want to head to first?” “I think that the gym would be the best place to start. I don’t like to be idle to long.” Hailey said as she finished her toast, she then got up to put her dishes in the dishwasher. “Sounds good, let’s head out.” “Bye you two have fun.” Sharon calls out to the pair as they leave. When they got to the jeep Ryan walks around to the passenger side to open Hailey’s door. “Hear you are luv. I will show you the best gym in town. It’s the one that I go to when I am home.” “Thank you. Is it the best because it is the only one in town?” “Basically yea, anyways I was thinking that we could work something out about a car for you.” “Oh what do you have in mind?” “I was thinking that if you would like I would drive you to and from work until I go on tour again. I will then let you use my car well I am gone.” “Ryan I can’t do that, that would not be fair to you and it’s a 40 minute drive one way. I couldn’t ask you to do that.” “You’re not asking me to, I am offering to do it. Hails it’s not a big deal I want to do this for you.”

Ok my loveless hear is the next update sorry it took so long. I am hoping to get the next one up before I go back to school on the 28th. Enjoy even though I am not overly happy about it.
“Um sure I guess we could try that for a bit.” “Ok good now that is settled let’s get you that gym membership that you are after.” Ryan says as they pull in to the parking lot. They walk in to the building and the girl behind the desk sets Hailey up with her membership and takes her on a tour of the facility. Once they we done they walked out in to the damp air. “I think it’s going to rain.” Ryan states. “Yea it feels like it… I love the rain.” “Well then lass you moved to the right country. So what do you want to do now?” “Let’s take a walk around town see the sites.” “Sure we can do that.” Ryan takes Hailey by the hand and walks around the town. He shows her where he went to school and hung out with his friends. “So um Hailey I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me tomorrow night?” “I think I can squeeze you in.” Hailey said with a wink. “I do need to see when I need to be at the college and for how long.” “Ok fair enough. We should head back to the car before it opens up and down poor’s on us.” “Sure thing” Once they get back to the car Ryan opens the door for Hailey so that she could climb in. Once he got in on the other side Hailey looks at him and shakes her head. “What is that look for?” “What look?” “The one you just gave me. You were shaking your head and just had a funny look on your face.” “Sorry I’m just not used to someone opening doors and helping me in and out of cars.” “Ah well you my dear are in for a treat.” They pull up to the street in front the house Ryan gets out of the car and goes around to the other side to give Hailey a hand. They walk up the front walk and in to the house. “Hello you two, did you guys have fun?” John asked as they walk in to the house. “Oh yea dad as much fun as you can have going to the gym and then walking around town. Great craic.” Ryan says as he closes the door. “It was not all that bad. It’s the simple things.” Hailey replies as she heads up the stairs to check her email and put her purse away. Hailey walks in to the sitting room. “Well I am to report to the college on Monday for two weeks. So that gives me a week before I go in to the college and a week after before I start at the jail.” “I thought that you had two weeks before you needed to be at the college.” Ryan says. “That’s what I thought but I guess they want me in early, oh well hats the job.” “So are we still on for tomorrow night?” “What’s going on tomorrow night?” Sharon asks as she comes in to the sitting room. “Oh he finally asked Hailey on a date.” John tells his wife as she sits on the sofa beside him. “That is just grand. They will be a great couple.” Sharon says as she looks at the two sitting in the other sofa. Hailey leans over to Ryan and whispers in his ear. “Do they always talk like you are not in the room listening?” “They seem to be doing it more and more as these days.” Ryan says with a chuckle and looks at his parents. “I will let you finish getting settled I have some things that need to be done. I will see tomorrow at 7?” “Sure that would be good. Have a good day.” “Bye hun have a good day we will see you on Sunday for dinner.” Sharon says to her young son. With that said Hailey went upstairs. She decided that she wanted to see if Erin or Tasha are on line. She logs on to see that neither of the two girls is on line however her younger cousins were on. Hailey shoots off an email to Erin and Tasha letting the two of them know what has been going on. All of a sudden her skype ring and it is Carly. The two of them sit and talk for a while when there was a knock on her door. Hailey tells Carly to hold on well she get her door, “Sorry Hailey I did not realise that you were talking to someone, I like what you have done to the room.” “Oh no worries Sharon we were signing so there is no way you could have known. Thank you, I hope you don’t mind that I brought my own quilt and other things to make it feel a little bit like home.” “No problem Hailey I like it. You sign, why is that?” “All the kids in my generation on my mom’s took sign language. My grandparents felt that it was a good thing to take so they enrolled all of us in it.” Hailey terns to the computer and introduces Carly to Sharon. “It’s nice to meet you Carly; sorry to interrupt but lunch is ready Hailey.” “Thank you Sharon I will be right down.” Hailey tells Sharon. “Carly you better keep in touch or I am going to be upset with you.” “Hey missy it goes both ways” Carly says with a giggle. “by the way have fun on your date tomorrow and I miss you.” “I will tell your sister and parents that I miss them…Love you.” “Love you to Hails talk to you later.” Hailey goes down for lunch with Sharon and John. During lunch they sit in idle conversation just getting to know one another and what they all like. The rest of that day and the next day were spent chatting and just getting used to the different culture. 7:00 PM The next day. “Hailey Ryan is hear for you.” Sharon tells her as he walks past her door. “Thanx Sharon.” Hailey says as she grabs her purse and heads down the stairs. “Hey Ry how are you?” “Hails you look great. I am good how are you?” “Oh you know same old same old… So where are we going?” “It’s a surprise…” “You two have fun. Oh and Ryan have her back by midnight.” John says as he hands Hailey her jacket. “Umm dad Hailey is 27 years old I don’t think she really needs a curfew.” “Hey guys I am standing right here and I can hear you, and I think midnight is a reasonable time to be home.” Hailey says as she heads to the door. Ryan and Hailey leave the house and get in to the car and start to drive. As they drive away Ryan reaches across and takes Hailey’s hand. With that Hailey looks at Ryan with a smile. Ryan smiles back and continue to drive. “So Ry where are we going?” “That my dear is my little secret but trust me you will like it.” Ryan tells Hailey as he gives her hand a light squeeze.

Hailey and Ryan continue their drive, after about five minutes or so they pull up in front of a quaint little restaurant just outside of The Moy. “Well Hails this is one of my favourite place to eat when I am home. Best Italian food in Northern Ireland.” “This place looks really nice.” Hailey says as she gets out of the car and walks to the back of the car to wait for Ryan to come around. Once Ryan gets there he takes Hailey’s by the arm, and heads in to the restaurant. Once to the door he lets go of her arm and opens the door for her. “Good evening Mr. Kelly your table is ready.” “Thank you Miles.” Ryan replies as he takes Hailey’s hand and follows Miles to their table. Once at the table Ryan pulls out Hailey’s chair for her. “Thank you Ryan. You really should stop doing these things for me. You’re spoiling me and what am I going to do when I go back home and the guys have no manners?” “What you’re thinking of going home already you just got hear and you have a year.” “Well Ryan in is inevitable; however, let’s not talk about that now I have a year to enjoy this amazing country and company.” Hailey says as she hides behind her menu. The waiter comes back to the table to take their food and drink orders. “So Hailey how are you feeling about starting work?” “Ryan you know what, I feel good about starting, it’s too bad I have to go and sit in a class room for another 2 weeks after 3 years of it.” “Well Hails it could be worse it could be there for the 8 weeks that officers normally have.” “I know I am just ready to be done school and all the work that has to do with it.” Hailey comments with a distant look in her eyes. “Don’t worry luv you will get through it.” Ryan says as he squeezes Hailey’s hand as the food shows up. Hailey just smiles at Ryan “look good. Let’s hope it tastes as good as it looks.” “Trust me Hails you will not be disappointed.” The two of them sit and eat with just idle conversation in many ways just getting to know one another. “So Hailey one question that has been on not only my mind but those of us that know you is why a prison? What is it that makes you want to work with guys that could turn on you at the drop of a dime?” “Ryan there is just something’s that cannot be explained. I guess I could ask you the same thing why music? I mean one day you are on top and the next you could be at rock-bottom.” “Well I guess for me music is my life my passion. Not only does it make me happy but I can see that when I am on stage I bring joy to others. Music has always been something that I have always wanted to do. Well growing up music was always a big part in our house. To me life is a song and it needs to be sung. I do know Hailey my reasons for my occupational choice for the most part are not the same as yours.” “Ryan I can honestly say that I have no real reason as to why. It is where I feel that I need to be. For one thing it could be due to what I saw happen at school. All in all I don’t know why but it’s my calling in life at this time.” Ryan just looks at Hailey and can see the passion in her eyes about her chosen life style. They continue to eat in silence for the rest of their dinner. “Ryan this place has the really good food. So are you still up for taking me to the college on the 7th and picking me up on the 18th? “Oh I am sure I can manage that. Do you think that you might be able to get out during those two weeks that you are up at the college?” “I most likely should be able to but it is an hour and half drive one way. Are you sure that is something that you want to do in order to hang out?” “Hailey if I did not want to do that then I would have not asked you. Are you ready to head out?” “Umm sure, Ryan I’m sorry if I offended you.” Hailey says as she stands up and Ryan helps her is to her jacket. “Hailey you did not offend me. Just realise that when I ask you if I can do something then it is something that I want to do it.” Ryan pays the cheque and they head out of the restaurant. Hailey starts to head towards the car when Ryan grabs her hand. “Hey lets go for a walk before we go home. It’s not raining and it is a clear night lets enjoy it.” “Sure lets walk then.” Ryan and Hailey heads down the walk towards the park. “Ryan this place is beautiful.” “This is one of my favourite places to go when I want to be alone or to think. During the winter time they freeze the pond for skating, string Christmas lights and place music from that cabin right there.” “Oh wow that sounds great. There is a place back home that is like that it’s one of my favourite places to go.” By this time they two have walked halfway around the pond, and it is starting to get a little colder. Ryan see Hailey shiver a gives her his coat, and raps his arm around her shoulders. The two finished their walk and start back to the car, once at the car Ryan goes to Hailey’s side and opens the door. “Thank you” Hailey says as she climes in and Ryan shuts the door. He goes around and climes in. “Hailey I had a great time. It’s nice to go out and have a quite night with a lovely lady.” Hailey just looks at Ryan smiles and blushes. “Ryan sorry about earlier, I am just not used to someone wanting to go out of their way to hang out.” With that said Ryan just runs his thumb down the side of her face.

Hailey and Ryan continue the drive back to the Kelly’s in a comfortable silence. At about the halfway point Ryan glances over at Hailey to see her sleeping in her seat. Ryan smiles and lightly rubs his thumb over her knuckles. They pull up to the house. “Hails sweets we are home.” With that said he just lightly taps her to wake her up. This however did nothing to get her to wake up she just shifted in her seat. “Hailey luv you really don’t want to sleep in the car it’s not the most comfortable place in the world.” Ryan stats to get out of the car to go to the other side when he accidently hits the car horn, this wakes Hailey up. “Where am I, what’s going on?” “I’m sorry Hails that was probably not the best way to wake up.” Ryan apologises as he get out to open Hailey’s door. Once he gets to Hailey’s door he offers her a hand out and continues to hold it as he walks her to the door.” You know Hails this is really weird.” “What is Ry?” “Well I am walking you to the door, which is something that I would do anyways but I am walking you to my parent’s door. It’s just weird.” Ryan says with a stiff laugh. “I guess that would be a little bit on the weird side.” Once at the door Hailey unlocks turns to Ryan and gives him a kiss on the cheek.” I had a great time thank you.” “Me too, have a good sleep and I will call you later.” Ryan says as he watches to make sure she gets in the house and looks the door. He then heads back to his car with a smile on his face and heads home. The rest of the week went the same way, little random dates, hanging out and meeting so of his friends, Ryan showed Hailey some of the sites of Ireland. Sunday during the day Hailey is packing some cloths to take up to the college when he skype rings. “Ello” “Hailey how are you? You have me, your dad, your brother and Tanya.” “Hey guys. I’m good, how are you?” “Would you listen to that she has been there barley a week a she has the accent all ready. What do you think she is going to sound like after a year?” “Um da I can hear you… I am still in the room.” “Sorry dear but he is right we are going to need to get and Irish to English dictionary for when you come home and try to get you to slow down your speech.” “Gee thanx, how are things back home?” “Hails since you left it has pretty much done nothing but rain… Please Please come home soon I want to enjoy summer without needing to turn in to a duck.” Tanya begged. This caused everyone to start to laugh. “Sorry Tan I must have taken the sun with me it has not been too wet since I go hear, cloudy and a little bit of rain but all in all not too bad.” “Hails you just about ready to go?” Ryan knocks on the door. “Yea just about, you can come in you know.” “What where are you going, why are you packing?” This comes from Hailey’s mom. Ryan walks in to the room. “Hey Ryan I would like you to meet my mom Barb, my dad Doug, my brother Anthony and me bessty Tanya. Everyone this is Ryan he is the youngest son of the Kelly’s. Oh and Ryan is taking me up to the college in a bit for the two weeks that I need to be there.” “It’s nice to meet you Ryan,” everyone replies. “Ryan please don’t let my baby sister get corrupted anymore then she already is, I am already having a hard time understanding her.” With that said everyone started to laugh. “I’ll try my best to not let that happen, but I can’t make any promises I leave the country in October. It was nice to meet you all. Hails I will be downstairs when you are ready to go. I have a long drive a head of me so I think we should head out sooner rather than later.” “For sure Ry, I am all packed let me just finish up with my family and then I will be right down.” “Ok luv take your time,” he says as he gives her a kiss on the cheek, grabs her suitcase, and heads down the stairs. “Aww so cute.” This comes out of everyone’s mouth; Hailey looks at the screen and sees big goofy grins on everyone’s face, and starts to blush. “Spill Hails what is going on with you two?” Tanya asks well cocking and eyebrow. “Nothing we are just friends.” “Hun you know I love you but there is something going on.” “You know what guys Ryan is right he has a long drive today I should go… Love you miss you bye.” With that said everyone logged off and went their separate ways. Hailey heads down the stairs to fined Ryan and her suitcase. Once down stairs she walks in to the sitting area to see if he was there. “Well how did it go with your family?” Ryan asks as he walks up behind her. “Ryan you startled me, it went fine they are good people and I love them, they drive me crazy at times but I still love them.” “Yea I know what you mean.” “I heard that Ryan John Kelly we are not crazy we just love you and that’s how we show it.” Sharon says as she walks in to the room. “Now you drive safe and Hailey luv you be careful for the next two weeks.” “Yes mam I will be as careful as I can.” Hailey says as she gives Sharon a hug. “Sorry mum, you know I will drive safe Mr. Safety is my middle name.” Once that was out of Ryan’s mouth the two girls burst out laughing. “I bet it is Ryan.” John says as he enters the room. “Have a good time Hailey and work hard dear.” “Will do John, see you guys in two weeks or so.” With that said Ryan and Hailey head out to the car to start their journey. “So Hails I umm yea…” “What is it Ryan?” Hailey says with a giggle at Ryan’s nervousness. “Sorry I am just worried I guess, and I am not the only one that is worried about you mum and dad are too.” “Ry you guys make it sound like I am going off to war. I am just going to a facility to work on my skills so that I can stay safe. Ryan saying that I am not nervous or scared would be a lie, I am. I just know that I can’t let other people see it.” “Why?” Ryan asks as he takes Hailey’s hand. “Well because it shows that I am venerable and offenders or staff can use that to get me to quit or to manipulate me. For me this would be a very bad thing, and since I am of the minority that is working in the jail system these things are not a good thing.” “Hailey I guess that I have a hard time grasping such a concept of anyone not just a women working in that field.” “Well it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it.” Hailey shrugs and Ryan decides to let the subject drop. “I just don’t get why you of all people.” Ryan thinks to himself. The two of them continue the drive in silence other than music to fill the silence. Ryan glances at Hailey to see that she is staring out the window off in her own little world. “Hailey do you want to get out and walk? We are about halfway there.” “Sorry what was that Ryan? I did not ketch all of that.” Ryan laughs “I was asking if you wanted to get out and walk.” “Oh um sure if you want to, I am good either way.” “I could use a little stretch if you don’t mind.” Ryan says as he pulls off the road, shuts the car off and gets out. With that Hailey sighs and gets out of the car. “Hails is there something wrong you just got quite all of a sudden.” “No I was just enjoying the scenery; we don’t have as nice of a drive from the center Alberta to southern Alberta it’s flat and boring.” “Oh you were just really quiet. I just wanted to make sure you are ok.” Hailey just smiles at Ryan and takes his hand as they walk around a little bit. “My mom always said that if you can sit in a car and don’t feel like you have to talk to make it comfortable then you are in good company. That that you are content with just being with each other.” “Really I like that; it’s a good thing to know.” Ryan says as they continue to walk a little but more. “Well should continue on.” “Sure whenever you are.” With that said Ryan and Hailey headed back to the car and continued on their way to the college. “So Hails are you always so natural and easy going when it comes to deciding on what to do?” “I have always been told that I am unless it is something that I am really passionate about. For me it’s about who I am with then what I am doing. I like to roll with things.” “So if I were to ask you to lest see, elope to Vegas with me, would you?”

“I think that is a little bit too far to go and elope, don’t you?” Hailey said with a smile and a wink. This took a few minutes to register but when it did Hailey could not help but giggle at the look on his face. “Um uh yea so…” “Ryan stop right there, it was a joke.” That was all it took for Hailey to burst out laughing. At the look on Ryan’s face was of pure relief. “Well I think that I will have to think twice about what comes out of my mouth for now on.” “Nah it’s more fun when you don’t think twice.” “Maybe for you it is, but for me…” “Ry remember that my family is sort of like yours we teas each other a lot. In my family’s case we do it because we are a blended family, and well it’s kind of fun to keep each other on our toes.” “Hails your family can’t be as bad as mine is for embarrassing stories like they were your first night hear.” “Ry my mom and dad’s first conversation with when they meet a new guy in my life is ‘I have a front porch, a rocking chair, a shotgun and a shovel… you do the math.’ Now if that is not embarrassing then I don’t know what is.” “Your parents really say that?” “They sure do.” Hailey just smiles. “It gave me more time for school and sports. So all in all it wasn’t a bad thing. You learn to deal; I think that is why I just roll with thing it makes life simpler.” “Ah life can be simple no matter what, all you need is good friends, family and someone to share it with.” With that said the two of them continued the rest of the drive in silence. Hailey felt that Ryan had given her something to ponder that may be helpful in life. At last they pull up to the college. Hailey gets out and goes in to the office with Ryan following. “Hi I’m Hailey O’Bryan, I was told to come and check in.” “Oh yes Ms. O’Bryan I was hoping you would be here before I got of work. I am Lynn Connolly, and I run the office here.” Lynn says as she hands Hailey an envelope with all the information for she classes, and hands over a key and a map of the campus. “Here is the key to your room. If you don’t mind weighting for 10 minutes or so I can show you to your room, your roommate just got hear about an hour ago. “Thank you, I think we can find it with the map.” Hailey says as she takes all the offered items with a smile. Ryan and Hailey head out the door and climes back in to the jeep. Ryan looks as Hailey “Are you ok luv? You look a little worried”. “Just nerves I guess” Hailey says as she places a reassuring smile on her face, with that Ryan gives her had a squeeze. The two of them drive around to where the dormitories are. Once there they get out of the jeep Ryan grabs Hailey’s suitcase and the two of them head in to the building. “I can’t believe that you are going to be here for two weeks.” Ryan says as he takes her by the hand. “I know but like you said at least it is only two weeks instead of eight weeks.” Hailey says as she knocks on the door with her free hand. A few seconds later a tall blond answers the door. “Hi I am Holly, you must be Hailey. I am so excited to have another women hear, even though it is only for a few days.” Holly introduces herself letting the two in to the room. “Hi it’s nice to meet you. I take it that there are not many women at the college for the training session?” “Yea there is never normally one or two; however most of the time there is none. Who’s this?” Holly asks eyeing Ryan. “Sorry I am normally not this bad with introductions. This is Ryan.” “Hello Ryan it’s nice to meet you.” Holly says with a sly smile. “Ah Hails I should get going it is a long drive back home, and you need to get settled before bed.” Ryan says as he heads to the door. Hailey then follows Ryan out the door and in to the hallway. Once in the hallway Ryan reaches for Hailey’s hand as they continue the walk down to the jeep. Once there Ryan stops outside his door and faces Hailey and grabs her other hand. “I am going to miss you for the two weeks that you are here.” “I’ll miss you too Ryan.” Hailey says looking up at Ryan. The next thing that Hailey notices is that Ryan has wrapped her in his arms and was holding her close. The two of them stood there like that for a few minutes. “Ok I should go now” Ryan says as he lets go of Hailey’s one hand. She starts to step away when all of a sudden Ryan pulls Hailey back to him smile at her and leans down and kisses her sweetly on the lips.

After a couple of seconds they Ryan pulls away with a smile a looks down at you. “I have wanted to do that for a since April.” Hailey looks at Ryan and just smiles. With that said Ryan let’s go of her hand and opens the door. “I will call you when I get home so you know that I am safe.” Hailey just stands there with a silly look on her face. “Uh ok?” Hailey says as Ryan shuts the door, and rolls down the window. “Miss you, talk to you later.” “Miss you to Ry.” With that said Ryan pulls away from the curb with Hailey standing there with a grin on her face. Once he is out of site she goes back in to the dorm. “So I take it that he is your other half?” Holly asks as Hailey enterers the room. “Case it sure looked like it when he left.” “Umm I rather not kiss and tell?” Hailey says as she sets to work putting her things away. “So why are you only hear for two weeks?” Holly asks as she sits on her bed and watches Hailey unpack. “Oh I took a bunch of classes back home that are the same as hear so I am just doing more self-defence, getting my licence for my gun over here and some learn some of the paperwork.” Hailey says as she pulls out her picture of her and Thunder. “That’s cool, like I said it will be nice to have another female hear at least for a few days. So what’s going with you and Ryan… he is sort of hot.” “I met him in the early spring and now I am staying with his family well I am here in Ireland. I am going to go down and get some supper, I will see you in a bit.” “Ok I get it you are a privet person. Do you mind if come with you… all the guys are going to be down there and I would prefer to have someone else with me. I ran in to a bunch of the guys and they are definitely not in to having women working in the centers.” “Sure you can. So what center are you working at?” “Hydebank Wood, what about you?” “Maghaberry, you like working with the young offenders?” “Yea my family hate the thought of me working in a prison so young offenders was the way to go. Maghaberry that’s a rough place how does your family feel about that?” “Umm they are ok with it. Ryan and his family are having a difficult time with it. But it is my calling in life.” With that said the two girls headed down to the mess hall for supper. As they entered the hall catcalls, hoots. Out of nowhere one of the men yelled out “It looks like someone brought in exotic dancers.” The two girls roll their eyes and walk to get their food and sits down at a table in the corner. “Boy the next two weeks are going to be fun.” “Oh you know it.” Holly says as the two of them eat their dinner while chatting back and forth. They finished dinner and headed back to their room for the night. “Hailey I think your phone is going off.” Hailey looks at her caller ID and a big smile spreads across her face.

“Hey Ry,” “Hey Hails, I’m home now. How are you settling in?” “Oh just great, Holly and I just got back from super. I guess you can say we met some of the guys that will be in our classes.” “How was that for you ladies?” “Let’s just say Holly and I are going to have some fun over the next two weeks.” “Good for you girls I should run I am meeting up with my brother for a bit we will talk to you in a few days.” “Umm thanks have a good night talk to you later.” Hailey hangs up from Ryan and gets up to look out the window. “It looks like rain.” “Yea it always looks like this in this part of the country. Hey you want to go out for a run I am feeling a little antsy?” “Sure Holly that sounds like a good idea. Let head out around the campus so we know where we are going tomorrow” Hailey laughs. The two girls head out for their run around campus as they run out to the gym the spot some guys sitting around. The group of guys notice them and call out. “Hey ladies care to join us for a party tonight.” Oh hey guys look at them you think they are the two girl cadets that we are stuck with,” and Hailey’s favourite one “those two won’t last a week hear.” With that Holly looks at Hailey and Hailey looks at Holly with the same look in their eyes. At that moment the girls call over to the guys, “why don’t you join us for our run and we can see who can keep up with who?” With that said the two picked up their pace and were gone before the guys had a chance to comprehend what was said to them. The girls finish their run and head back to their room. “I can’t believe that we did that run in 30 min, I was told that it normally takes an hour or so.” Holly pants as she falls on her bed. “Neither can I but it sure felt good. I have a feeling that we are going to have some fun over the next two week.” Hailey replied as she grabs her towel and stuff to get ready for bed. “Do you mind if I get a shower first?” “Oh you know it girl it will be nothing but fun. Sure go ahead I want to call home anyways. Hailey goes in to the bather room showers and gets ready for bed. Once out she lets Holly know that she is done and Holly takes her turn in the bathroom. Well Holly is in there Hailey goes to her desk and opens the file that she was given when she checked in. On Monday-Wednesday Fire arm safety and shooting practice, Thursday- Saturday report writing and SOP’s Monday-Thursday self-defence and control tactics. Hailey went back and looked at her Thursday- Saturday and ground. “What’s the matter Hails?” “I just looked at my schedule and I have report writing and SOPS for three days, not going to lie but I was hoping that I did not have to do any more paper work.” “Eww at least they break ours up.” “I wonder if I will be able to get one of the guys to grapple with me, and if they will go full force.” “Yea right they will treat us like china dolls.” Holly laughs “Yea well that is the story of my life; anyways I am going to turn in long day of theory. Night Holly. Night Hails. The next morning the two girls get up and go down for breakfast, after they eat they head their separate ways Holly off to do some self-defence and Hailey to the shooting range. “Look what we have hear lads, we have a wee lass that thinks she can handle a man’s job.” One of the guys in her group said to the rest of the lads well they all just laugh. Hailey just sits down at a table and waits for the instructor to come in. “Just so that everyone is aware get comfortable with the people in this group these are the people that you will be with for the next eight weeks. I trust all of you have your weapons in your position. The gun that you will be using is a Beretta 92FS (M9) standard issue from the government.” As the instructor goes on Hailey tunes him out like most students and day dreams about being someplace elts. It wasn’t until her name was being called that she finely comes back to earth. “Miss O’Bryan can you tell the class the schematics and the reason for the government has chosen this particular fire arm?” “Yes Sir”, Hailey the give the brake down of the weapon and finishes with, “the reasons that I see that the government has for use of this gun is that it is light weight, has minimal recoil, and is the most accurate when shot.” “That is very good Miss. O’Bryan. Now every take out your weapon and brake it down and put it together as fast as you can. And do it correctly. “So you mean to say we are shooting a chick gun.” “It’s not a chick gun, it is one of pure power and with the minimal recoil it allows for a more accurate shot and more kills.” Hailey says as she turns to look at the guy that made the chick comment. She looks and sees that the name on his shirt is Brad. “Brad is it; I have seen men miss shots with these guns that even a child could make. I am done Sire.” “That was done in 15 seconds lads you have your work cut out for you. Now tell me Miss. O’Bryan where did you learn to disassemble and reassemble a fire arm so quickly?” “Sir my father was in the army and taught me how to.” “Well it seems that he has taught you well, we will head out to the range once everyone has reassembled there gun.” Out at the range the class goes in to their station. “Don’t forget to put your ear plugs in luv we would not want to damage your ears.” Brad laughs as he gets high-fives from some of the other guys. With that said Hailey turns around with her gun in hand primed and ready to shoot. “What is that you said Brad?”

“Let’s save the hostility until you self-defence in the gym.” The instructor tells the two. “Now get to your stations take aim and fire.” With that said Hailey turned from the group of guys that were bugging her raised her gun and emptied the two clips that she had with her. The guys were still standing behind her laughing at her; she then pulls her target forward to look at it. The instructor comes up “Why are you guys laughing she emptied her clips and all shots were prefect kills.” “Let me guess your daddy taught you how to shoot too.” Brad asked Hailey just sets up another target, lodes her clips and unloads them again. “Well we know she can hit a stationary target but can she hit a moving target with a rifle?” By this time it is lunch time and Holly met Hailey outside of the gun range. “How was your first session Hails?” “Oh great you know I feel the need to kick someone in the face, namely cadet Brad Stevens.” Hailey said as the two of them walk in to the mess hall. The two girls walk up to the counter to get their lunches, the two girls fined a table in the back corner. “Which one is cadet Stevens?” Holly asked as she took a drink out of her bottle. “That one over there,” Hailey said as she points to the guy walking in with a bunch of the other male cadets. “Hold that thought Holly my phone is ringing. Hello.” “Well hello sweets how are you?” “Hey Ry I am better now that I am talking to you.” “Bad morning?” “You have no idea … it was nothing that I could not handle. Wait why are you calling all ready? It hasn’t been 24 hours.” “I’m glad you were able to handle yourself. And the reason why I am calling is that I miss you and I was wondering if you would like to go out on Thursday night?” “Aw that too cute, I miss you too. Sure, I am done class at 1500 hours, what do you have in mind?” “I was thinking that we would go in to town have dinner and maybe see a show.” “That sounds grand Ry, sorry I need to get back to class.” “No worries luv I need to get back to work too. I will talk to you later.” “So was that Ryan?” Holly asked as the two girls head back to their classes. “Yea we are going out on Thursday night after class assuming that I will still be awake.” Once back in class to do theory Hailey goes and sits in a desk to get ready to start the fun world of gun theory… really there is not a lot to it. She takes out her book and starts to draw on it when all of a sudden a shadow blocks her light. Hailey looks up and see cadet Brad Stevens with a roll of her eyes she asks. “Can I help you Stevens?” “Sure thing sweet cheeks I wanted to apologies for my bad behaviour earlier.” “First off it is O’Bryan to you and that’s fine I am used to it.” “Sorry O’Bryan it won’t happen again. To show how sorry I am I would like to take you out tonight, your choice. “My choice eh, well why don’t we go to the gym?”
