The loss of Lou was just another thing to add to the list of what was making people crazy. Brian was starting to feel really sick, and Kevin was becoming depressed, but tried now to show how he felt.
Nick was homesick and missed his family very much, altho with Tara by his side, it made him feel better. Nick missed his brother and sisters very much, and would do anything if Tara and him could fly to Florida right now, just to see them. There was always the option of having them fly to Toronto, and stay at another hotel and visit with him and Tara during the day, but Nick didnt want to endanger his family, he already felt bad as it is for endangering Tara.
AJ felt the same way, he feels really guilty for endangering Karines life by staying at the hotel while there is a murderer on the loose, and also by the utter embarassement of the previous day's newspaper.
After Lou's death, Nick and Tara stayed mainly in there room, with the few various trips to the other boys room, and/or downstairs.
Denise was trying to help Kevin settle all of their business, since Lou wasnt there anymore to run everything. Over the past years, Denise had worked closely with Lou, and had basically learned things from Lou about the Backstreet Management, and how to run things if Lou wasnt there. Denise took the elevator onto the Backstreet Floor, and then knocked on AJs room.
"WHo is it?" AJ asked through the door.
"Its your mom!" Denise yelled back. AJ unlocked the chained door, and let his mother in.
"Hey mom" AJ said, greeting his mother with a hug.
"Alex, I think we should have a talk, son" Denise said.
"Whats up, mom?" AJ asked.
"I dont want anything to happen to you, but something is going to happen again, and i know it. There aren't that many left of you.. theres only Bri, Kev, Nick and you.. plus the girls, and me" Denise said seriously.
"Mom, nothigns going to happen to me.." AJ said trying to assure his mother. Denise started to cry a little bit, and AJ comforted her.
In Nick and Tara's room, Nick and Tara were lying in bed, watching TV together. Nick and Tara were nicely snuggled safe under their covers in their room, trying to keep warm.
Nick turned his head down to Tara, and gave her a kiss, that warmed her up right away. Tara looked into Nicks eyes, who seemed to be in a romantic mood, and also feeling a little, happy. Nick put his hands on Tara's waist and pulled her up to him, and then held her close to him, while kissing her deeply under the covers.
Nicks shirt was already off, so Tara didnt have to take it off for him. Instead, she fumbled her hands on his back, slowly lowering them to his South Park boxers that he was wearing.
Nick moved his kisses from her lips, to her neck, and to her shoulders, sliding her nightgown straps off her shoulder, and then did the same thing to her other shoulder.
Nick slid his hands around Taras body on her silky smooth nightgown, reaching the bottom and lifting it over her head, taking it off of her. Nick held Taras body close to him, kissing her deeply and passionately, focusing on nothing but her and him, and their love.
Tara looked down at Nicks South Park boxers, and let out a little laugh. Nick laughed also, and then he took Taras hand, and they both took off his boxers. Tara started to kiss Nick again, after his boxers were completely off, and then he rolled them over so he was ontop of her.
Nick and Tara stayed in bed for another hour or two, making love and keeping eachother nice and warm.
Later that evening, Nick wanted to go get some McDonalds.
"Hey hun, im going out for some food.. going to Mickey D's! Want anything?" Nick asked Tara.
"No thanks hunny!! Im going to meet Karine downstairs in the restaurant for some food" Tara answered. Nick pulled Tara close to him and gave her a long soft kiss.
"I love you!" Nick said, smiling at Tara while looking into her eyes.
"I love you too, hunny!" Tara said, giving Nick another long soft kiss. Nick opened the door and shut it softly behind him, then headed out to Mickey D's.
Tara met Karine downstairs in the restaurant, and had supper with her and Denise McLean.
Nick walked into McDonalds which was a five minute walk from the hotel, and ordered his pizza and fries. Grabbing the bag of food, Nick left the fast food place, and started heading back to the hotel.
It was starting to get dark out, and the streets were getting a bit crowded of tourists, so Nick pulled out his hat and glasses to disguise himself from the fans.
As he was passing an alleyway between two buildings, someone came out from behind him, put one hand on his mouth, and the other around his waist, and dragged him into the alley.
