Claudia looked at the map. "Kentucky?"

"Yup." George tried to not tell her what was going on.

Claudia got a little closer to see the map better. "Lexington."

"Yes. That and Opaville." George said as he pointed at the map.

"Very import not caught by the police is sent to Lexington before being distributed. " Claudia looked at George.

"Yeah. And I have to go there... for... a trip... a... uhh... secret police trip." George said as he stood up.

"Okay? How come I wasn't informed?" Claudia was curious.

"It was for the new recruits." George said as he looked at her. "Sam said you could tag along too."

"I guess." Claudia looked at him. "You might want to get some sleep."

"Yeah. You too alright?" George said as he folded up his papers and crawled onto the bed.

"I'm fine." Claudia stood up and started to walk out.

George got in the bed and fell asleep.

Claudia went into her bedroom and crawled into the bed. She didn't realize how much she appreciated George until today.

George fell asleep.

Claudia went to sleep.

George woke up a few hours later.

Claudia awoke and changed. Then she proceded to cook breakfast.

George stretched then got dressed. He put on his sunglasses then walked downstairs.

Claudia started to scramble some eggs. It was what she had on hand.

"Need any help?" George asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"I got it." Claudia looked out the window. Her apartment was adjacent to a park. The tree were lush and green today.

"Looks nice out." George said as he sat down and read the newspaper.

"Yeah it is. Did you sleep well?" The eggs finished cooking. Claudia got out two plates from the cabinet and started to dish the food out. She took one plate over to George.

"Thank you." George said as the plate laid in front of him. He began eating the eggs. "These are good."

Claudia sat down across the table. "I actually wanted to be a chef."

"Really?" George kept eating the eggs. "Well these are good on a chef's level."

Claudia smiled and started to eat.

George finished and put the dish in the sink. He then began reading a newspaper.

Claudia finished up and poured herself some coffee. "Want some?"

"Sure. Thanks." George said as he nodded at Claudia.

Claudia poured him some coffe and handed it to him. "So what's the plan today?"

"Well the trip starts today. So we're off to Kentucky." George said as he took the mug.

"Cool." Claudia started to wash dishes and put them up. "When about are we leaving?"

"When I'm done the coffee." George drank the coffee then put the newspaper on the table. "We should get going now."

"Okay." Claudia finished up and turned around to look at George.

George looked at Claudia then ran upstairs to get the map. He ran back downstairs with the map.

"Well, lets get going." Claudia opened up the door.

"Yes let's." George said as he pulled up to the cop car and opened her door.

"Thank you." Claudia got in.

George got in as well. He started the car.

"What are we going to do in Kentucky?" Claudia look at curiously

"Bust some of the liquor dealers." George said as he started to drive.

"There's 4 main family divisions in Kentucky. We need to be careful."

"Alright." George said as he watched the signs.

Claudia stared out of the window.

George looked out the window for a moment then looked back at the road.

"So have you ever been to Kentucky?"

"No. Been in the Northeastern all my life. Except for now." George said as he looked at Claudia.

"Cool." Claudia glanced at George. "If the mafia doesn't kill, the locals might."

Jake woke up in a rancid hotel room outside of Lexington. Of course he was nothing but a hired hand, however the Rachinellos were highly trusting of him. That's what you get when your uncle is the godfather. The hotel room was roughly the smell of cheap perfume and a little gun powder. Thanks, Uncle Bob." Jake didn't care much for family

Claudia continued to stare out the window.

Jake pulled a cigar and started to smoke. "This hotel smells bad enough to mask the smell." Once he finished, Jake went in to take a shower

As they began to approach Kentucky, George began getting nervous. The fact that he was going against one of the most Anti-Temperance towns in America, but he had to save a little girl at the same time.

Claudia looked over at George. "What again are we doing here?"

"Uhh..." George remembered him lying so he could surprise her. "Confiscating bootlegged liquor."

"Okay." Claudia left it where it was. She would rather not ask a lot of questions.

They arrived at their pinpointed town. "Now to get a room for her while I find her kid." George thought to himself. "There looks like a nice motel over there." George said as he drove towards it.

Claudia looked at the motel George was arriving to. It looked quaint and followed more on the homey side. She was a tad thrilled to be in a motel so cute in the texture.

"Uhh... I just gotta go run some papers to the sheriffs office." George said as he went to the door. "You should get some sleep. You look tired." George said as he left. He looked around the area. "Nothing seems to be suspicious." George said as he walked down the street. He suddenly saw and old warehouse.

Claudia laid on the bed thinking of the different families in Kentucky. She was aware of the moonshiners but oblivious to which family George wanted.

"Hello?" George yelled. He began walking in through the huge doors. "Is anyone here." George said as he looked around. He saw a small light flicker. Then he saw smoke.
???: "What can I do ya for stranger?" Said a large man lighting up his cigar.
GEORGE: "I need some moonshine. Do you know where it's kept?"
???: "Yeah. It's just down here." The man said as he showed George the cellar.
GEORGE: "Just a question. Have you seen this girl anywhere?"
???: "Oh. That's that err... Uncle Peter from down the roads daughter."
GEORGE: "What do you mean by daughter?"
???: "Well after she was there for the longest time we assumed that she was his daughter."
GEORGE: "No she was abducted. Do you have any... guns?" George asked as he pulled out his pistol. "The force would gladly pay you for your help. And I'll pretend like this like operation isn't going on here."
???: "Fine. And the names Joe." Joe said as he stuck out his hand.
GEORGE: "George." George said as he shook Joe's hand.

Claudia slowly fell asleep with her brain turning. She began to dream of the moonshiners and George.

"Alright well let's get a move on then." George said as he took his pistol and went out the door. Joe followed behind. "Where is this place?" George asked Joe.
JOE: "It's on the next street. Number 26."
GEORGE: "Okay let's get moving." George said as he ran towards the house.

Claudia continued to sleep and dream.

"Joe you know the guy. Start a conversation with him while I go to the backyard." George said as he ran around the house.
JOE: "Alright." Joe said as he knocked on the door. "Peter are you there?"
PETER: "Yeah. What do you want?" Peter said as he answered the door and looked at Joe.
JOE: "Where's your daughter?" Joe asked.
PETER: "She's playing out back. Is there a problem? Did she do something?" Peter said as he reached behind the door. "I'm afraid you won't be able to talk to her Joe."
JOE: "Why?" Joe asked as he stepped back.
PETER: "You know what I've done. I'm afraid I can't let you leave. Or live." Peter said as he loaded his shotgun and shot Joe.
GEORGE: "What was that?" George said as he saw a girl handcuffed to the sandbox. "Shhh... I've come to save you. Your mother's been looking for you." George said as he broke the handcuff. "Let's go!" George said as he picked up the girl and ran back to the motel.
PETER: "Wha... hey!" Peter said as he chased down the street after George.

Cluadia woke up to a gun shot in the distance. She couldn't make out the gun by the sound, but she knew it was larger than a pistol.

George set down the girl and fired a shot at Peter's feet. It hit Peter in the left foot and he fell, dropping his shotgun. George then picked up the girl and ran back to the motel. "Claudia."

"Yeah?" Claudia suddenly noticed who was in George's arm. "Elisa!" She grabbed her daughter out of George's arms. "Thank you so much!"

"I need to go... deal with the man. You can come to. To see the man that made you so upset." George said as he drew out his pistol to the door.

"No, but you be careful." Claudia hugged Elisa with tears in her eyes again. She couldn't believe George did this for her.

"Alright. Will do." George said as he ran out onto the road. "He's... gone..." George ran back to the motel. "Pack your things. Let's go." George said as he locked the door.

Claudia started to pack up, not like there was much to pack. Then she grabbed Elisa'a hand and started to walk of the motel.

"Watch every direction until we get to the car." George said as he looked around. "He's around here." George had his pistol drawn. "Run to the car." George said as he aimed his pistol in the air. "And tell her to plug her ears."

"Cover your ears." Elisa followed her mother's order. Claudia ran to the car with Elisa in hand. As soon as she got to the car, Claudia put Elisa in the back seat. "You'll be okay."

"Now where is he..." George said as he looked around. "His shotguns gone too. This could get ugly." George continued watching the area.

Claudia glance around as well occasionally checking on Elisa.

"He's close..." George said as he jumped out of the way when he heard a shotgun sound.

Claudia instinctively hugged Elisa in protection. "George, just go. I don't want see you get hurt." Claudia teared up.

"No. I must do this." George said as he kept looking around. "Gotcha. Tell Elisa to cover her ears." George said as he aimed his gun at the man.

Claudia put her hands over Elisa's

George shot the man in the arm then in the other leg. "I think 3 shots should do suffice." George said as he walked over to grab the man. "Assaulting a police officer and kidnapping a child and killing a person. I'm afraid you'll be in jail for a long time." George said as he grabbed the man by the collar. He tried lifting him up but he gave no effort in trying to get up. George realized that the man was dead. "Hmmm..." George said as he walked back to the car. "I think we should get going."

Claudia nod her head in agreement and buckled Elisa up. "Thank you again."

"No problem." George said as he climbed in the drivers side. He started the car.

"Serriously though how could repay you?" Claudia so eternally grateful to George for finding her daughter.

"Please it's alright." George said as he smiled and started driving. "Back home I guess."

"Sure." Claudia smiled and glance behind her at Elisa.

George turned onto the main road they came in on. "Actually how about we enjoy our time down here. There's a nice hilltop resort nearby. This mountain region is great." George said as he looked at Claudia.

"Okay." Claudia looked toward George and smiled.

George smiled as well. "It's just up here." He said as he turned onto the dirt road.

Claudia noticed the beauty of the area just driving there. She could hardly imagine the breath-taking sights at the resort.

They then turned down a long windy dirt driveway. "We're nearly there. Look to your left, you can see the whole mountain region from up here."

"It's beautiful." Claudia kept looking around to see what else was noticable

"We're here." George said as he got out and ran to the other door to let Claudia and Elisa out. "You can see all the way to Tennessee from here, so they say."

Both Claudia and Elisa got out. "Thank you."

"No problem." George said as he walked towards the resort. "It's a nice cottage like resort."

Claudia followed with Elisa in hand.

George stepped inside and held the door for Claudia.

"Thank you." Claudia looked around inside and was instantly amazed. "It's beautiful."
