when it's ready.”
     
    Yvette went back inside as a sudden thought hit Kelley.
     
    She was now over thirty hours from the Gold Coast and her father. She wanted Arthur Collins present when she went into labour, and she knew her Dad would want that, too. So, she was going to have to convince Agent Michael Blake to either bring Arthur up or take her down. Either way it happened, Arthur Collins would be present for his granddaughters birth. 
     

     
    A sudden midday shower hit just as Yvette called everyone into lunch, which meant Daniel and his dad might get a few hours of leisure until it let up. Kelley appeared as they all sat down around the table, and Daniel drank her in like a man dying of dehydration.
     
    She was starting to show more, her small belly revealed beneath a white peasant-style top that she wore over a denim skirt, and Daniel thought she couldn't look more beautiful then she did now, with that healthy, pregnant glow on her beautiful face.
     
    “ Hey. Having fun?” She asked as she sat next to him at the table.
     
    “ Sure. It's always nice to be present when a new horse gets broken in.”
     
    They all dug into the simple spaghetti with mince that Yvette had cooked and Daniel noticed Kelley was eating more then she normally did. He liked being part of her progression as she went through the different stages of pregnancy as her due date got closer.
     
    “ Those Feds sure are quiet.” Yvette commented as one passed by the window on his half-hourly round.
     
    “ That's their training.” Kelley stated.
     
    “ What? To freak people out by walking like a Ninja?”
     
    “ Yeah. And if that doesn't work, they resort to their tactile training and use violence.”
     
    She said it with no emotion in her voice, and everyone at the table grew silent, making the house quiet enough to hear a kookaburra laughing in a tree a good five-hundred meters away. Yvette and Hank didn't know what to say, but Daniel noticed Kelley was doing that fast-talking chatter-box thing she did when she was hiding something.
     
    “ Kel? What's wrong?”
     
    She looked at him, and he noticed a trace of fear in her eyes. “Nothing.”
     
    He wasn't buying it.
     
    Excusing them, he grabbed her hand and led her down the hall to his bedroom. After locking them in and placing himself in front of the door, he looked at Kelley and said, “Tell me.”
     
    Kelley sat down on his bed, a conflicted look on her face that had him wondering what was wrong.
     

     
    “ He did what?!” 
     
    Kelley cringed as Daniels enraged shout bounced off the walls.
     
    She'd known telling him about the call she'd gotten from her old landlord through a secured line on Agent Blake's satellite phone would be a mistake and make him angry, but the Lieutenant had managed to get it out of her.
     
    “ You're telling me that, not only did Ronald manage to discover where you lived, but that he broke in also?” 
     
    She nodded.
     
    “ Shit!” Daniel ran a hand through his hair and began pacing the length of floor at the foot of his bed. “Obviously, the police are no good at stopping a convicted criminal. And, given that there's an obvious leak within the WPP, there's only one solution to this problem.”
     
    Kelley didn't know what he was up to, but she didn't have anything to worry about because she knew Daniel would keep her and her baby safe.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    Eleven
     

     
    Kelley slept peacefully in the passenger seat of his GT as they continued south to Cairns.
     
    Daniel hadn't wanted to do this, but he hadn't seen any other way to protect her.
     
    The AFP clearly weren't doing a good enough job at locating Ronald, and he wasn't going to stand by and let the that bastard kill her.
     
    And his plan was simple; they were going to make it look like Kelley had moved back into her old apartment, then wait for Ronald to make his move. And when he made his move, Daniel would be waiting to arrest
