Let me guess...

Susanne is busy typing at her computer, and barely hears someone enter. Finishing off the line she finally looks up and does a double-take at the large man before her. “Uh…y.. I mean, yes…” She blinks, then finds her smile. “I’m sorry. You must be Dalton. Yes, Mike is here, but I think he’s back down the other hallway in the office you’ll be in. It’s just right back there, across the main floor and down. If you run into trouble…”

She stops and lifts her eyebrows. “Well…I think you can probably handle it.”

Reese ambles absentmindedly down the hall, pausing in the breakroom door. Sometimes it felt like TJY was falling apart, with the men he was losing… the moods around the place… They were handling cases okay… but it just felt… He wasn’t sure what it felt like. Almost as if the life had been sucked out of the department. But they had to concentrate whether they wanted to or not. Another robbery had happened that morning, and this time someone had been killed. Though used to undercover cases, this one had to he handled and handled quickly.


Jason takes in Katie’s kiss, returning his own, as his fingers gently lie along her face. Good morning, Katie.

The emotions he’d kept in for so long… that he’d denied… to let them out was a feeling that couldn’t be described. He had loved Katie for so long… and though never forgetting how it felt, being able to once again express it, made it seem like it was new all over again.

His eyes closed, he just enjoys the moment, forgetting where he is.

At the sound of Wes’ voice though, he’s immediately back to attention, and jerks from Katie, rolling back so he’s sitting up. “It was Katie.” Hearing the first thing that came to mind come out of his mouth, he can’t believe he said that.

Looking at Katie, he gives a shrug of apology, and then cocks his head to look up at Wes, trying to keep his embarrassment at bay. “Let me guess…. The next time we get a curfew?”

Good Morning

*The elevator opens on the main floor to TJY as a very tall 6'8 foot man enters. He was slim for being so tall but he was muscle. His hair was short and black with a small goatee. His shades shield his eyes.

Starting to make his was across the floor he scans the area looking for Reese. Seeing a few offices he knocks on the one door and enters give a nod to Susanne. Stanind tall Dalton look down at her.*

" I'm Dalton the new tech guy. Is Mike Reese around?"

*Katie looks up at Jason her own face turning a little red but a smile spreads acorss her lips anyways.

I'm not to sure myself, but whatever it is you do it too.

Katie can't help but bring her own hand to Jason's face as she smiles up at him. The light and love dancing in her eyes.

If you find out though, let me know.

Lifting her head Katie brings her lips to Jason's as she send another message.

Good Morning.*

*Hearing the comotion in the other room Wes stands throwing Cindy a look. Leaving the kitchen and heading into the livingroom Wes takes a glance and see Katie and Jason. For a moment he is a bit shocked at the sight before him. Though knowing who Jason and Katie both are he knows it was something innocent and not as bad as it looked. Not wanted to shock eather of the to much Wes loudly clears his throut before looking at the ice on the carpet.*

"HEY.....how got the floor wet?"

How do you?

Jason’s eyes widen as Katie returns and he spots the ice. He puts his hands up in defense, but she’s too quick.

Cringing, Jason gives a jump. “Oooh, no, no, not ice, not ice!”

Squirming to get the ice cubes out of his shirt, he sits up fast, accidentally dumping Katie onto the floor again. But as he stands up to shed the ice, his feet get tangled on Katie, and before he knows it, he’s down too.

For a moment, it’s a tangle of legs and arms and flying ice cubes.


Cindy looks up from the stove and turns toward the living room. “What on earth…” She throws her husband a questioning glance. “What are those two up to?”


Panting, Jason finally gains some leverage on his elbows, keeping himself from being face down on the floor. Only it takes him a moment to realize that the tables have turned, and this time, he’s holding Katie down.

Looking down at her, a grin spreads on his face. Way to go. That’ll teach you to put ice down my shirt.

He knows better than to stay in this position, and his face reddens slightly, but looking into Katie’s eyes, it’s hard to move. Instead, he shifts a hand to tuck some hair behind her ear. One minute life is the way it is, and the very next, you’ve turned my world completely upside down all over again. How do you do it so quickly?


“Gah!” Reese groans in frustration, finally just shutting down the whole computer. “Scott, why did you have to leave?”

For a moment, grief overtakes him until he can shake it off again. Heaving a sigh, he stands up from Scott’s old desk. Hal had cleaned last night…it was ready for Dalton to come today.

Reese stops and sees that Scott’s nameplate is still on the door. Just staring at it for a moment, he finally reaches up to slide it out of the holder.

Payback

*Wes returns the kiss to Cindy and than goes to take a sip of his coffee. He had seen Katie and Jason this morning and it braught a smile and warm feeling to his heart. He new it was innocent, and he new they both had been having a hard time. To see them together, at peace with smiles on there face it was nice.*

"I hope they do too. The both need this, eachother, he happyness. Not to mention they look cute together. I think this time around, they will be ok."

*Wes gves a smile*

*Katie's eyes fly open as she goes flying off the couch with a loud thump. Just laying on the ground for a long moment Katie strairs up dazed from being half asleep. Remember where she was and who just pushed herout of bed Katie looks over to Jason sitting up and shakes her head.

Not saying anything Katie stands and heads to the kitchen smiling. Giving a small wave to Cindy and Wes she goes to the fridge and open it up pulling a few ice cubes out. Heading back out of the kitchen and to the coutch once again Katie can't help the grin the cross her face. Jumping on Jason while he is on his back Katie holds him down and quickly sticks the ice cubes down his shirt before laughing....

Payback, Thats for pushing me out of bed when I am half awake.

Katie's emotions are laced with laughs, and happyness as she cant help but chuckle.*

Floor

Con shakes his head, lost in thought. "I don't know... I just don't know. Reese said they've got Bret driving the getaway car on film...he said there's no doubt that it's Bret and Bret's car."

He's quiet for several moments before looking down. "Bret did seem a little uptight the last time I saw him, and he mentioned some old buddies..." He stops and looks up to Jamie. "I didn't tell Reese that. I should have but... I don't know...I should probably call him back tomorrow."

Con wanders to a kitchen chair to sit down, still solemn. "Bret does have a record...he got in trouble with this one before. Not many people know about it... he was able to keep it relatively quiet... quiet enough that I'm not even sure Titan Inc. knew about it when they hired him. But would he do it again?" He shrugs lamely. "I don't know...I wouldn't have guessed so, but... people do crazy things sometimes."


Jason gives a grunt as Katie lands on his stomach. As if you didn't enjoy it.

"Come here." Grabbing Katie's arms, he pulls her down so she's resting on his chest, within reach to give her a kiss. As the movie starts though, he turns onto his side, bringing Katie in front of him to the edge of the couch, where he can wrap an arm around her and just see over her head to the television. "Now hush so we can enjoy the show."

...Two o'clock. Cindy pads down the hallway, curious at the feeling no one was in the guestroom or Jason's room. Glancing into the living room, a smile spreads on her face. The television was still on, though the movie was long over. Jason and Katie were sound asleep on the couch, Jason with his arm still around her. Quietly, Cindy moves to take the light blanket off the chair, then spreads it over the two on the couch.

It's just enough movement for Jason to wake, and he gives a start, realizing where he is, and that his mother was standing there, and perhaps wasn't pleased about the scene. She lays a hand on his shoulder though, shaking her head and putting a finger to her lips. She thought nothing about this, her eyes telling her son that he was fine. Ensuring they stayed, Cindy retreats, going back to bed.

Jason settles his head back into the throw pillow, warm and comfortable. Within seconds, he's asleep again...


Cindy leans over Wes' shoulder at the kitchen table to hand him a cup of coffee, along with giving him a kiss. "Morning." She smiles before returning to the stove where she was preparing breakfast. "Did you notice who was asleep on the couch?" Her tone is kept quiet, a slight smile on her lips as she turns to see her husband. "I hope they make it this time."

The subtle noises in the house finally reach Jason's ears and he manages to get his eyes open, needing just a moment to remember where he was. Feeling Katie in his arms, everything comes back to him quickly. What time was it? Late enough for the sun to be shining in the windows...late enough that he could hear his mom's muffled voice in the kitchen as the smell of breakfast just started to waft through the house.

Though wishing he could just sleep in, Jason knew he couldn't. First, his mom and Wes were up, and second, he at least needed to get back to Texas. He wan't sure if Katie would leave with him today or not, but Reese would already be on the warpath once he realized Jason was gone for today.

Mischief entering his mind, Jason gives Katie a light shake. "Hey, hero of mine...time to get up." Not even giving her enough time to respond, he sighs. "Okay...if you're not going to wake up..."

Giving a slight shove, he sends Katie sliding off the couch and onto the floor. Rolling onto his back, he simply stretches and yawns, trying to wake up his brain.

IronMan

*Wes hangs his head for a moment as Cindy yells at him through a grin was still on his lips. Looking up just a little he whispers jokingly.*

"You can beat him up for me for this Katie."

*Katie gives a little wave to Wes as she hangs upside down on Jason's back.*

*Giving a small giggle to his wife he stands and takes her in an embrace as she takes his arm.*

"Yes dear I will leave the kids alone. Night Guys."

*Was gives a little wave as he disapears down the hall.*

*Katie can't help but laugh as Jason plops he on the coutch. Stairing at the movies for a long moment Katie scans.*

"How about Iron Man."

*Standing back up Katie puts it into the DVD played and starts the movie before walking back over to the coutch to sit down. Moving up just a little bit Katie sits and ends up landing lightly on Jason's stomach. Smiling down at him she chides.*

"Thats for swinning me over your shoulder,"

*Giving a small laugh Katie pretends she is snuaggling in*

*Jamie looks up at Con and he leans aganst the counter a sad look on her face. Bret involved in a bank robbery.*

"Con are they sure its Bret? I mean...would he do that? He seemed like he was doing so well with Charlotte and really happy."

*Jamie lets out a sigh as she continues to wash the dinner dishes as Con talks. It was just so hard to believe Bret would do this. He really had seemed like he was doing good.*
