McKensie and Lara II :)
Chris shook his head "it's really nice to meet you Ashley but please no agency stuff here, my sister is far too intruiged about all this." He smiled and sat at the table with them.Malibu pulled her seat for her and smilef pecking her cheek "no I'm still the lucky one," he assured and smiled at the pasta "this looks delicious, thanks for cooking Laila you look nice in that kimono, Ash has one that's like that but it's pale pink..."
Delaney pulled back and looked at him biting her lip "that was my first time...was it ok Brand?" She asked softly but she was beaming with confidence now that wasn't there.
Krissy was trying to pretend like she wasn't listening, but she was doing a horrible job of it. She was smiling into her pasta, and reacting to everything that was said. Ashley nodded in understanding, "Of course." She waved at Krissy who immediately blushed. Laila blushed and shook her head. "I had help from Chris and Krissy. Lots of help actually." She said, smiling a little as she sat as well. She gestured for everyone to start, and got a portion of the pasta for herself as well. "Thank you. The kimono is really comfy, Ash, you'll love it." She promised. She glanced over at Mali then, smiling. "Well. I know you know about this…" She said, tapping her ring. "But I also have other news." she bit her lip. "You're going to be an uncle."
Brandon smiled softly. That was her first kiss? She was one heck of a naturally good kisser! "That was amazing, Delaney, I promise. Normally I wouldn't believe that it was actually your first time." he admitted. "But I know you wouldn't lie." He promised, smiling softly. "Was it an alright first kiss?" He asked hopefully, using the napkins to help wipe them both down a bit.
Malibu nearly spit up the pasta he coughed in his napkin his eyes wide "what?! You...but...what?!" He looked at Ash "you know how I like to go outside and scream...I'm going to go do that right now." He got up casually and went outside screaming about how his sister was knocked up and he was too young to be an uncle.Chris cleared his throat "he's taking it better then I would if Krissy was pregnant." He said honestly and squeezed Laila's hand gently "it's ok...hrs ok..."
Delaney shook her head "you are just saying that..." She smiled and pulled spaghetti out of his hair "I think a piece of spaghetti was wrapping around my tongue...I lijed that." She didn't realize it was his tongue.
Ashley simply nodded in response to his question. This was huge news, and she found it acceptable for him to react this way. It showed that he really did care deeply for his sister, and that just made her love him all the more. Laila nodded slowly as he stammered and she sighed when he said he needed to go scream. She just watched as he left with a sort of forlorn feeling, before glancing over at Chris. "Yeah… I'm sure he's fine… just… not very happy about this I suppose." She said, sighing softly. "I'll be right back." She said, getting up and walking outside. She stood in the door frame hesitantly. "Mali? I…" She shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Brandon laughed softly, shaking his head. "I swear I'm not just saying that." he promised, putting the trays back on the counter. Then his smile returned. "That wasn't spaghetti, Delaney, that was me. It's called French kissing." He explained. "You use your tongue."
Mali sighed and looked up from the swing he was sitting on, he motioned her over and sat her next to him resting his head on her shoulder "I'm not upset Laila...I'm so thrilled for you and Chris, it's just hard realizing I missed your life...we aren't kids anymore and you've grown up, I certainly haven't...you know what a romantic date for me and Ash is? Playing zombie killing video games...I'm not at the point you are and that's what upsets me..."Delaney flushed bright red and smiled softly "you have a talented tongue then..." She said quietly, she just now realized everyone was staring at her and Brandon she now was scared again and hid in his chest hoping this wouldn't get back to her dad.
Laila joined him on the swing, resting her head on top of his. She listened to him talk and her heart clenched with guilt and longing. She wrapped an arm around him, biting her lip. "Trust me, it hurts me too that we were apart for so long." she said honestly. "The happy go lucky teenager I used to know has become an agent, and I don't even know how." she said, sighing softly. "But… at the same time, it's only been four years, and we have to remember that. We have fifty or more years left in our lives to complain about our kids to each other, and fight on car rides, and talk, ok? Don't rush to grow up. I like you for you."Brandon smiled then, happy with that compliment. It certainly boosted his self esteem. When she pressed against him, at first he thought she was just hugging him. But when he looked around and saw that everyone was watching, he smiled softly, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and guiding her back to the privacy of their booth at the back. "You sit here, and I can grab us both pasta." He offered. "What would you like?"
Mali smiled and nodded feeling better about that, he took her hand and squeezed it gently chuckling as he thought about their kids and having play dates all the time. "And I love you for you...you picked a good guy Laila." He saw Ash in the window talking with Krissy...she was so perfect in every way he still didn't understand why she picked him "do you like her?"Delaney looked up and smiled "um buttered noodles with cheese and italion seasonings please...nothing with sauce." She added grabbing the change of clothes out of her bag and changing without revealing anything.
Laila smiled softly then. "I'm glad you approve of Chris. I can't help but feel lucky for finding him, you know? Like if one little thing had happened differently, I might have never met him, and never found the perfect man for me." She explained, shaking her head. It was quite the philosophy to think about. She glanced up at Ashley in the window, and smiled. "Well. She's drop dead gorgeous, and seems nice enough. So yes, I approve." she nodded. "Do you like her?"Brandon nodded, making a mental list in his head. "I'll be right back." He promised. He went to the washroom first, using one of the dials on his watch to immediately give him a fresh suit. Then he got in line for the pasta again, getting her buttered noodles exactly as she had requested them, making sure the plate looked all fancily made. Then he got a flat noodle with cream sauce for himself, adding shrimp into it and parmesan on top. He brought both plates back to the table and sat down again. "Did I get it right?"
Mali smiled and nodded "I love her...it's so strange barely talking to her at all and finding she's perfect for me. I mean I've known her a long time but through the agency, now I know the real her and I love it...she's gorgeous obviously, but she's sweet and funny, selfless and kind...reminds me a lot of you actually."Delaney smiled and nodded "it's perfect, but with your photographic encyclopedic memory it's not all that impressive." She teased and smiled showing him she really was just trying to mess with him. She ate like a lady and remembered something about his watch "can I see that for a second?"
Laila's smile turned soft. Her brother, being all mushy for another girl was both enough to make her heart flutter for his sake, and to make her jealous. "Aw, Mali. You're so sweet. And I really am happy that you found someone you love." She said honestly, squeezing his hand. "I have to admit though… I am a little worried. She looks like one of those girls who aren't into long term relationships. I know I might just be paranoid because you're my twin… but be careful, ok?" She said seriously. "I don't want to see your heart broken."Brandon laughed then. "Yeah. I suppose." he agreed, enjoying her sense of humour. He was twirling his fork into the pasta when she asked for his watch and he nodded, unclasping it and sliding it off his wrist. "Yeah, sure." he said, handing it over to her. "Try not to drop it though. It's my only one." he said honestly, knowing she would know that it wasn't an ordinary watch.
Mali nodded and smiled "I can't get married anyways because of the rules, so I'm not putting too much into that. Maybe I'll leave the agency one day and maybe she will too, but right now I'm happy I love my job and I have a best friend to love and work with." He helped her up "let's get back inside Chrys is probably worrying about you being out in the nippy air."Delaney nodded "I desugned it, I could easily design you another one." She reminded and clicked a switch filing the restaurant with memory gas they would forget everything in the last half hour. Her and Brandon were immune to it as she handed it back to him.
Laila nodded, relaxing again. She held his hand as they walked back to the door. "Well. As long as you're happy, then I am too." She promised, heading back towards the apartment. Then she grimaced. "I don't know why pregnant women are treated like they're about to fall apart. Yeah. I get that it's great to be careful and all. But I'm not that fragile…"Brandon nodded then, his eyes widening in excitement. "Could you make me another one?" He asked hopefully. "And maybe add in a couple cool new things?" He said, clearly dreaming up new features that would be helpful. He took the watch back and clasped it on his wrist again. "Not that this one isn't awesome. I still think it's totally cool." he promised.
Mali shook his head "you are carrying an angelic being! Plus you will cry in the drop of a hat, which is pretty terrifying for me and Chris so inside we go!" He motioned her into the kitchen and smiled at them "all is good, let's finish the pasta before it gets cold alright?"Delaney raised a brow warningly "that's not how it works 103...everyone gets the same one for safety purposes, if it breaks I'll make the same one for you ok? Until my dad says otherwise...I feel like all you agents moms sometimes...get the paperwork perfect design the gadgets get your flight plans get lunch..."
Laila groaned softly, rolling her eyes. She didn't think they needed to worry so much about her, but she let herself get shoed back into the kitchen where she sat down and started eating at the pasta again. She shot Malibu a playful glare. "Yeah. We're all good again." she looked over at Chris, squeezing his hand under the table as she ate her pasta. Ashley smiled when Malibu came back in, and she leaned closer so she could whisper. "Everything alright? Laila looks a little… peeved." She admitted, hoping they were on good terms.
Brandon sighed heavily. "Yeah. Yeah. I know. It was worth a shot." He said, shrugging. "And please call me Brandon, or Brand. No one calls me 103 outside of HQ." He admitted, biting into the pasta. It was good and he sighed in contentment. Then he laughed. "Well. It is helpful to have someone helping out like that. In all honesty. But yeah. I guess we should be more responsible."
Malibu chuckled "yeah everything is fine...she just hates that I treat her fragile when she's pregnant...and she thinks you aren't in the mood for a long term relationship...plus I said she cries at the drop of a hat."Sadly other people heard about how she was the glue that kept HQ together and knew how to take it down now.
Delaney smiled "call me Delsie...that's my nickname with my friends and family, or Laney...so you like shrimp? I love it...but I didn't want stinky breath near you...you still scare me...but in a good way."
Ashley's soft smile widened a little, and she shook her head. "Well. I'm liking your sister more and more." She whispered, back, kissing his cheek quickly before she went back to finishing up her pasta. She was very glad she got to meet his sister, and the already infamous new agent. Brandon smiled then, looking up from his pasta. "Delsie… Laney." He repeated. "Both cute names. I'll have to decide which I like best." he teased, smiling softly. Then he nodded. "I love shrimp. And seafood in general, to be honest. I know most people don't… but…" He shrugged "I guess I'm strange that way." Then he smiled softly. "well. I'm glad it's a good way. I'd feel guilty if it was a bad one." he admitted.
Malibu smiled but it did t go past his notice that she didn't deny that she didn't want a long term relationship...man he was pushing things too fast...he heard his watch and frowned "mission getting set up."Delaney smiled and cleared off the plate "I've got to get up early in the morning, can you please drive me home...I usually don't stay up past nine...I'm sorry I've had the best time Brandon...thank you."
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "A mission at this time of night? Must be something serious." She said, looking to her own wrist. Krissy looked up in interest when she heard all this, but Ashley was already standing. "Mali, it's the guru, they're calling in full forces. They think they know where he is." She whispered urgently. Laila watched the commotion as Mali and Ashley's watches beeped. Chris didn't have a watch yet, but there was a text on his phone telling him to come in as well. Laila looked over at him. "Do you need to go too?" She asked.
Brandon nodded in understanding. "Yeah. No problem. I can drive you right home." He promised, paying the bill and walking out with her. He was halfway to her place when he his watch pinged and he swore. "They're calling all the agents in." he said, shaking his head. He sped up the car, getting to her place faster. "I'm sorry this was rushed. I'll see you tomorrow? I really did have fun." He said, kissing her quickly. He waved and hopped in his car again, speeding towards HQ.
Delaney smiled and waved heading inside her little home as she was caught from behind , they knocked her out and dragged her body to the van waiting for her. When she woke she was blindfolded with ducttape and tied up her body hurt and she was naked, she shook scared wishing she knew better how to defend herself. A camera was rolling recording her she sobbed trying to fight "what do you want with me?!"The watches were bugged to send everyone in, Chris and Malibu looked around confused "where is everyone?" He checked his phone again "all agents..." He looked as Brandon ran in "who all got the text?"
A smart looking man in a well pressed business suit stepped out of the shadows. He had a trilby hat on, and a gold pocket watch chain hung from his left pocket. He had both hands clasped behind him, and he smiled as he watched the small girl his men had brought, struggle. He turned to one of them. "You are sure this girl is important enough to the agency for our plans?" he asked. The man nodded. "She is the boss's daughter. She's holding that place together."The man nodded, looking back at her. "Send the feed."
Brandon looked around HQ, confused. "so we weren't called in by the boss?" Another agent shook his head. "Just checked. Big man isn't even here. The place is closed down for the night."
"Then why…" Brandon started, just as all the computers crackled and buzzed to life. On their screens, played a live feed of Delaney. Brandon immediately moaned, his heart plummeting. How had they gotten her? A voice in the background said, "I want access to all files. Or she dies. You have one hour to respond." He was basically asking for complete control over the government and the agency.
Brandon looked as if he was in shock. "We have to bust her out of there. We can't give him the files, but we can't let her die."
Delaney struggled hearing that part and screaming "don't do it!" To the camera knowing HQ was watching it. That earned a kick to the side hard enough to make her throw up, she was shaking wherever they were...was freezing.Chris watched and felt sick turning away but it was everywhere her scream and cries echoed the huge place. Malibu managed to get onto his laptop which had not been hacked into her analyzed each part of the video on mute trying to get some clues to where she was "look...watch the light above her...it's swinging back and forth like...the place she is in...moving." He looked at Ashley for help "can you discipher the accent they have?"
The man smiled softly, letting the feed play for a little longer, before he motioned with one hand for them to cut it off. He moved over to Delaney, smiling down at her. "Aren't you a little thing. Daddy's girl, hm?" He asked. He ran his fingers over her cheek. "You'd make a lovely trophy in my office." he whispered, his smile cold. He saw her as nothing more than an object. A thing with a beautiful body. Brandon was no help at all yet, he just kept pacing the hallways back and forth, cringing whenever Delaney cried.
Ashley however, was staring at the feed with cold intent, as she had pushed herself to the back, to allow her to work and focus without too much emotion. "Russian." She said immediately, her eyes surveying the scene. "Delaney's lips are slightly blue and she's shivering. They're somewhere cold. My guess: Russia. But that place is huge. We need something else. They might be on a train. Chris, can you tap into the railway feeds and check which lines are running now? That would narrow our options."
Delaney tried to wrestle away from him, she spat in his face wishing she was trained better then this! She was starting to hate how protective her father was, because she was useless she couldn't fight back or do anything! Malibu held a hand up "hold on...it's not a train..." He turned the audio up and dissected each part till he heard it again "lighthouse horn...she's on a boat! Probably in the middle of the frozen sea..." He swore pulling up a map of the ocean "anywhere on that..."
The man smiled, tapping the chains around her wrists. "You certainly can't break these dear." He pointed out. "And though you have skinny wrists, we have made sure they are tight enough so you can't slip out." He smiled softly. "But nice try. You'll like your new home, I'm sure, with the rest of my trophies." He straightened then. "But for now, just enjoy the ride."Ashley listened close as Malibu twiddled with the audio. "Boat…" She repeated. "Well that makes this harder! The boat could be going anywhere!" She shook her head. "at least we know roughly where it is. I say we take the jets out and do a quick sweep of the ocean. Any boats on the waters will be spotted. Any tag on what sort of boat we're looking for?"
Delaney growled angrily wishing she could tear his eyes out "I'm no ones trophy!" She growled and tried to break the chains she felt something hit her painfully in the back of the head knocking her out.Malibu sighed and saw Brandon "come and help!" He yelled frustrated and looked at the cage she was in and shook his head "the light is too dim I can't see much...except things I don't want to see...I'm getting a radar started."
The man chuckled. "Now you are." he said, watching as one of his men knocked her out. The boat had slowed, and they reached one of the small islands in the sea north of Russia. He had the caged carried out and into his house, where he stashed it in his study, among the stuffed deer heads, guns, knives, maps, and other trinkets. Around his house walked girls in thin dancer outfits, cleaning and cooking and taking care of his house. They were his former trophies, and they all had a cuff on their wrists. Brandon slunk over, not wanting to look at the screen. "Can I please…" He voice cracked and he swallowed, embarrassed. "Can I please just go out and look for her?" Ashley nodded, feeling sympathy for him. "Go ahead. We'll com you if we learn anything more." She promised. Brandon nodded his thanks and ran off to get in a jet.
Delaney was really hurt, the concussion started a brain bleed as she was laying unconscious in the cage blood dripping to the floor. Malibu frowned not understanding what was wrong with Brandon "what is with him? Was he crying?" He never saw his roommate like and it was a little unnerving. He got the camera running again and swore "he moved her...looks like the boat docked."
The strange man did not return at all that day, but he did send in a few of his girls with food and new clothes to tidy up Delaney. When they saw she was hurt, one of them signalled the med drones, and they came over and worked on her, cleaning up the blood and fixing the bleed. A girl with brown hair gently dabbed the blood off her forehead and made sure she drank something. Ashley shot him a look that said not to give him a hard time. "He likes her obviously! Be nice, ok? This is probably tough for him." She said seriously, her eyes still on the camera as he got it to run again. "If you're controlling the thing, can you get it to turn? So we can see through a window or a door?" she suggested. "That would help a ton."
Delaney started to come to, she had the worst headache she had ever had, she couldn't keep her eyes open it was so swollen from the beating her fingers slowly clenched the bars of her cage and then relaxed obviously she was in trouble.Malibu looked at her shocked "wow...that does change things a lot..." He admitted and got the camera to turn but then suddenly if was in an office showing the girls tend to Dekaney "is that dark stuff blood?" The camera was black and white.
The girls stayed silent. None of them were allowed to talk, or else they would have tried to comfort Delaney. One of them helped her into the same uniform that they were wearing, and the other finished cleaning her up until there was no more blood. She dabbed some cream on her eye, and on the cuts around her wrists to help heal them, and then stood, leaving her again. Ashley smiled, glad she thought of it. She wasn't sure why the feed jumped, but it worked to their favour. There was Delaney, in an office. Ashley wasn't staring at the blood, she was staring at the names on the hunting plaques on the wall. "I know who it is." She breathed. She sent a com to Brandon, telling him their coordinates.
Delaney never felt so defeated, she wished she could just die. She sobbed and banged her head against the bars wishing she would forget everything and become brain dead. She wanted to be back with Brandon her first and last kiss.Malibu looked at the screen shocked and swallowed "we need to get her out of there..." He said and sighed looking at Chris "get ready to arrest this guy, we need to face analyze all the girls and get them home."
Brandon had spun the jet around, the second he heard where she was. He hovered it over the house, hanging a ladder from the belly of the jet, which he climbed down. He moved around the house until he saw Delaney in the cage. His heart constricted and he used a rock to smash the glass, climbing through. "Hey babe, I'm here to save you." he said softly, using a laser to make quick work of the cage bars and the chains. He picked her up and carried her back up into the jet, wrapping her in a blanket and making sure she was comfy on one of the fold down beds. Then he went to the control and commed back. "I got her. Send in back up. We have to take this man down. There's at least forty kidnapped girls in there." Ashley grit her teeth when she heard the com. "Delaney's safe. We have to go make the arrest." She pulled out a pair of jet keys and handed them to Chris. "You want to do the honours? I'll come for back up, but I've never been good at driving a jet. Malibu can speak for that. I'll stick to my motorcycles." She said seriously, walking out to the garage.
Delaney felt amazing when she was untied and the duct tape off, she started to seize because the senses were overwhelmed and she was still hurt. Malibu nodded in agreement about the jet "no cars or jets!" He said warningly and smiled as Chris got into the airplane and quickly flown to Russia as he found the girls "Rebecca Davis? You here? I have your dad on the com, I'm finding the rest of your parents...don't worry."
Brandon relaxed a little once he knew that help was on the way and he turned around to check on Delaney. That was when he saw her seizing, and he immediately got up and went over, lying her out flat on the bed and putting pillows around her head as he waited for her to stop seizing. "You're alright now…" he whispered, brushing her hair back. "I'm so sorry this happened."A small looking girl with blonde hair stepped forwards, looking up shyly. "I'm Rebecca." She whispered. She looked as if she wanted to sink through the floor, like she felt that at any second, Malibu would hit her, or hurt her, because that was what she was used to. Ashley was going around, frantically gathering all the girls in the household, giving them blankets to cover up with, and reassuring them that Chris and Malibu would not hurt them.
Delaney stopped and slowly saw him, she slowly smiled her face still in pain "I remember you..." She whispered and touched his face softly still shaking slightly but more comfortable.Malibu shook his head "I won't hurt any of you, you are safe now ok?" He helped them into the jet and had the different screens have skype screens with each of their families there to talk to the girls. Chris shook his head missing Laila so much, he wanted to hold her and make sure she was safe.
Brandon smiled a little then, nodding. "Hey..." He whispered. He would have picked her up, but he didn't know if she was injured, and if she was, then that might be painful. So he just squeezed her hand reassuringly. "We're on the way back. We'll get you fixed up in no time." He promised. Ashley sighed in relief only once they were flying away from there. She had shot every man in that household as a revenge for those girls, and Delaney. And… self defines, if anyone asked, as they had all attacked her. She raked a hand through her blonde hair. "So. Now we drop these girls off at HQ, and they can send them back to their families." She suggested. "Malibu, Chris, you guys should head home. It's been a long night. I can make sure these guys make it back safe." She promised.
Delaney nodded and swallowed trying not to be worried about everything "h-how's daddy?...he's not worried ri-right? His heart can't...t-take it..."Chris nodded and waved as he quickly got home, he sighed holding her close and never letting go "please don't leave me...please always be safe...please..." He whispered and swallowed "never seen such scared girls..."
Malibu shook his head "I'm not going anywhere, I need to make sure your ok...I mean I read your file Ash...are you?...I mean is there anything I can do?"
Brandon shook his head. "Your father has been at home. He wasn't notified." He said gently. "We took care of it, and you don't have to tell him about it if you don't want to." he promised, taking her hand in his. Laila looked up in surprise when Chris came home and gathered her in his arms, murmuring strange things. She didn't mind being held at all, but she was worried about him. "Chris… what happened?" She asked softly. "I'm never going to leave you, I promise… what was wrong?" She asked.
Ashley looked up in surprise, and then the surprise slowly disappeared and she sighed, nodding slowly. "I'm…" What could she say? There were a lot of memories back there. "I'll be alright." She promised, pulling on a small smile. She had not expected that he would read her file. "How much do you know?" she asked softly.
Delaney started to cry releasing everything that had happened to her, she hugged him tightly and sobbed " I hate what happened to me Brandon...I felt so weak and used...I wanted them to kill me to just end it..." She said honestly and sobbed in his shirt.Chris shook his head and just held her tightly "I was on a sick mission...dozens of girls kidnapped and abused they were barely mentally thete...it was awful...please just stay here..."
Malibu leaned close kissing her shoulder "enough...I'm sorry Ash...if I could hurt the men that did that to you...I would have Brandon beat them up." He wanted to joke with her but it wasn't time "I love you Ash...I'm sorry..."
Brandon gathered her up in his arms then, holding her tightly against him. He hated that those things had been done to her as well. "You're safe now." he promised. "And I'm not letting anyone else get to you." He whispered, smoothing back her hair. Laila tensed at what he said. That was just awful. She couldn't even imagine an unspeakable horror like that. "Oh those poor girls…" she whispered, shaking her head. She didn't want to imagine what it would have been like in their place. She nodded, curling up then in his arms. "I'm not going anywhere." She promised.
Ashley nodded slowly, sighing then. So he knew. At least he didn't think of her differently. She turned around to face him then, and wrapped her arms around him in a hug, not saying anything, just standing there, needing the moment.
Delaney swallowed and nodded "just hold me...I don't want to go to the hospital...they touched me and I can't be touched again...I can't please Brand..."Chris sighed and kissed her lovingly "I'm sorry I was gone so long...how's our baby doing?..." He asked and touched her stomach feeling a shift "woah...what was that?"
Malibu smiled and and held her close "I don't want you alone tonight...want to come to my place? Brandon will be with Delaney...at the hospital."
Brand chewed his lip, worried that any damage had been done. "Alright. We won't go to the hospital, as long as you let the med bot in my watch look at you. I don't want you hurt." He said seriously. He hated the thought of her injured. Laila kissed him back and then smiled, looking down at his hand on her stomach. She placed her own hand over his and pressed down gently, so he could feel the shifting a little more prominently. "That's our baby." She whispered.
Ashley nodded slowly in agreement, glad he had offered that. "Alright." She agreed, as she really wasn't sure how she was going to sleep tonight by herself anyways. "Just for this one night though." She said seriously.
Delaney swallowed and shook her head "Brand please...why is it necessary?" She asked softly and curled up to him "I know you care...but...med bots were there in the office."Chris smiled lightly shaking his head amazed "that's our baby...I change my mind I want a little girl, or boy...I don't care I love them no matter what."
Malibu nodded "just tonight...I have a question though Ash...it's been nagging me since dinner."
Brand bit down on his lip hard. "Because I was so worried about you. I am still so worried about you." he whispered, shaking his head as his voice trailed off. "Never mind… I…"Laila smiled softly, lying back on the bed and pulling him with her as she snuggled against him. "Me too." She whispered, closing her eyes. She was tired, so she sighed softly, letting her body relax.
Ashley nodded, as the jet landed at his place and dropped them off. It flew on auto pilot back to HQ. Ashley walked up to his house with him and nodded, looking to him. "Yeah?" She asked, wondering what the question was.
Delaney cupped his face and kissed him softly "for you I will go ok?..." She started to go unconscious her heart beating quickly.Chris massaged her stomach gently to calm them both down as they got ready to sleep. He leaned his head on her stomach and fell fast asleep without even getting undressed.
Malibu sighed "you...do you care for long term relationships?" He asked slowly getting the door open and pulling the couch out for her "it's pretty comfortable."
Brandon nodded. "Thank you." He said, turning the jet's course for the hospital. He quickly got her checked in, worried about her, and left her in the hands of the doctors as he was told to wait outside in the waiting room. Laila slept well through the entire night, and when she woke, it was because she had a strong craving for cream again. Not ice-cream, just cream. So she went to the fridge, groaning and grumbling about how she would never drink cream again, when she found that they didn't even have any, or any milk either. Laila sighed and pulled on her coat. "I'm going to buy us some milk Chris." She called to him, so he wouldn't worry, before she grabbed her car keys and drove to the store down the block.
Ashley smiled a little then, nodding. "Yes. I do. I think they are the sweetest things." She admitted. "And if I wasn't an agent, I would definitely want to be in one." She said honestly. "But you know the rules, Mali, it can't happen. Not permanently. Not unless we leave." She sat on his couch and patted it. "It is rather comfy." She agreed, hoping he wasn't offended by what she just said. She still liked him, maybe even loved him. But long term relationships just weren't allowed.
The doctor came out to bring him back in "she had some internal bleeding but she's doing better, she had a panic attack when you weren't there so we had to sedate her...other then that she's just a scared battered girl." He left him alone in her room.Chris panicked and quickly got up and ran after her, he sighed in relief finding her "you can't do that to me Laila...I have to make sure you are protected, one of the agencies girls just stepped into her house alone and was kidnapped..."
Mali sighed and nodded "I'll get some pillows and blankets for you..." He grabbed them and made up the bed for her and handed her an old shirt if his to sleep in "goodnight Ash..."
Brandon immediately followed the doctor into her room, sighing in relief when he said she was doing better. "Thank you." he said, rushing over to Delaney's side. He sat in the chair by her bed and took her hand in his own. "Hey baby." He whispered, rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand. "I'm sorry."Laila was in the middle of downing some whipping cream from a carton when her eyes widened as Chris ran in. Then she sighed, licking her lips. Why did everyone think she was so fragile? "I'm alright, Chris. This is a store. There's a million other people here. It's not like I'm in a deserted alley, or a house all by myself." She said, shaking her head. "Thank you for worrying, but really, I'm alright. You don't need to be that worried." She patted his arm as she carried 15 cartons of whipping cream to the counter and paid for them, loading them into the car. Then she raised an eyebrow. "Did you leave Krissy home alone?"
Ashley nodded, getting off the couch as he made the bed. She smiled, "Thank you. For the bed, and the t-shirt, and letting me stay here." she said honestly. She kissed him gently. "And I'm… I'm sorry if anything I said upset you." She said honestly, hugging a pillow as she sat on the couch.
Delaney shook her head and snuggled up close to him and squeezed his hand "your back...I got so scared..." She whispered and sighed tiredly "how are we going to explain this to my dad...the injuries and hospital stay?"Chris shook his head showing the camera in her room on his phone "she is secure and safe as are you...let's take your many many containers of cream after paying for it of course..."
Malibu shook his head "don't worry about me Ash...you have a good sleep ok?" He kissed her lovingly "I love you...I'll probably be gone in the morning alright but there will be breakfast waiting for you."
Ashley smiled enthusiastically, shaking her hand. "I've heard so much about you!" She said, thrilled. "And you really do look like your brother." She said, smiling back at Malibu. "I've been hoping to meet you for a while, Mali talks about you constantly."
Laila smiled softly, touched. "And I'm thrilled to meet you! It's not everyday that he brings home a girlfriend."
Ashley smiled, "I suppose I'm the lucky one." She said, holding out her hand for Chris to shake then. "Nice to meet you as well. The agency is buzzing with the story of your last mission!"
Brandon nearly dropped his tray when she suddenly kissed him. He was so shocked that he just stood there until she had pulled back again. Then a slow smile crept over his features. He ignored the spaghetti on them and kissed her back, making it deep and passionate, and reflecting of his feelings for her.
