The Bottom Line Breaker is back in a love story

He stepped off of the train with a credit card and three dollars to his name. Looking out over the vacant car lot he could see that even though it seemed dead outside the city was very much alive. For three hours he had decided to take the train and as he walked over toward his car he felt as if his days would never change. As a traveling salesman he had sold products all over the world. From computers, to cars, and camera parts he figured himself well versed in the art of sales. What he was not so well versed in was love and that was what hurt him the most. As a thirty-eight year old he seemed to excell at most things other then love. There were times were it seemed to just be sitting in front of him and then it snapped quickly away from him. Five years ago he enjoyed not being on the road and working in an office. There he met Sherry Leung and started dating here and it looked like things were going to happen. When it got to a point where they lived together she decided to announce that she had started seeing his brother. A heavy weight nearly broke his back and thirty-two had just as quickly turned to thirty-eight. The snow had started to fall all ready and it was now December forth the date they had broken up. Walking over to his car he stalled for a moment like a deer in head lights then he shook it off. Getting into his car he started in and looked in the rear view. As he drove out and entered the city it was deserted and know one was there it seemed like. A bar was still open and drunks popped in and out into taxi's or with a DD. Laughing to himself he headed toward his apartment and when he arrived inside of the parking lot he parked it, turned it off, and got out. In the distance he could hear a baby crying and wailing and he walked to where he heard it. A young baby boy had been left behind and deciding rather quickly he needed to keep it. Hopes rested on everyone's shoulders and he knew a little child stood little or no chance alone in the world. Cradling it in his arms he went over to the Mc Call's they had, had children and had much more experince. A nice elderly couple who even watched over him when he choked on his vomit. He knew that he could depend upon them to help him through this all. Today, he took a major step...

A Year Later
The missing heir of the Janus family has been reportdly found within a dumpster. We are happy to report that the kidnapper has been arrested and will face procesution to the fullest extent of the law. As the daughter of Langthom Janus Miss. Sarah Janus said her baby had been taken from her. In an attempt to cover himself and shield himself Mr. Paul Breaker has said he had nothing to do with the crime...

It's always the same no matter how you look at it. One crime or another there all the same. A little girl puts her baby out and decides not to come back for it. Then she decides to do it again saying it was kidnapped again. Two kidnappings when she wanted an abortaion and her family is pro-life. Sitting behind his cell bars Paul Breaker grinned to himself if the guards wanted him he'd kill them. Sakura had slipped in his .44 magnum and he had made it oh, so nice, and so well done. Getting a position at the sales firm and acting as a simple broken down salesman. A smile crossed his face as the Agent came forward looking down at him.
"Your in trouble bigger then you... we own you..." You began with a smile. "As a matter of fact there's no trail you kill yourself in prison just like Thomas Janson."
"My old friend from under cover that's why I'm here you low down dog pile." Breaker began.
"Who are you?"
"Sakura found me after I got shot, decided to stitch me up some, and bring me back home... you... your a dead traitor we've been tailing Janus for two years." Breaker began looking him dead in the eyes. "Finds the agents they can bribe and then they still secrets for the Chinese there a cut out operation."
"Yeah, what says I don't kill you undercover?"
"Because, I'm Paul Breaker, and your all ready dead."
Before he could react the trigger was pulled and he hit the ground with half of his face sprayed onto a wall. Holding his side they had bruised where he had been hit three years ago. Alone to die in the woods because of a back stabbing little sucker of a rogue agent.

He cradled the child as his own and knew it would be a while before he suspected anything. With a written agreement Breaker was now the father and Sakura the mother. It was what they both wanted and in truth Sakura could have no children. A shot in her stomach had stolen that from her and right now they had the pride and joy in their arms and in their lives...
