McKensie and Lara II :)
Danial held her close and kissed her "it's ok...you made the best decision for us, and I'm sorry I got upset...let's get you home and get you some rest...you had a surgery afterall and I'm sure you are sore..." Chris kissed her head and rubbed her back "it's ok...just don't run away again...and talk to us about things...we are your family."Delaney shook her head "dad wouldn't allow me to, too dangerous...but Brandon was, I think he'd allow you to if you wanted to leave the military. Are you liking it?"
Mira sighed "then what is even the points of them..." She tried crossing her legs and moving the paper sheet over herself and under "there!"
Krissy nodded, slowly, glad that they both forgave her, and weren't holding it against her. She wiped her eyes quickly, her smile weak. "Thank you both." She said softly, giving Chris one more squeeze before she moved to hug Daniel. And then she was crying not anymore because she was hurt, but because she was frightened, and guilty for killing a child, and her stomach hurt something fierce. "I love you, I love you both." She whispered, tucking her face against Daniel.Jace shook his head slowly, liking that his father was protective. He knew he would be too when he had kids. If he ever did. Then he shrugged. "Maybe someday I'll do the agent thing, but for now, I'm good as a soldier. I do love the job."
Antony chuckled, shaking his head. "Just to make you feel more comfortable, really." he smiled. He laughed easily as she tucked the paper around herself. "The doctor's just going to have to open that up again in a sec, hon." he said gently, squeezing her hand.
Danny sighed "Let's get you home...you need some rest Krissy...what did the doctor say? Did the procedure go ok?" he was worried sick and led her back home and held her close never wanting to let her go.Chris sighed and wheeled Parker back to their room and shook his head "No matter what I do, stress seems to find me...I can't believe she thought we wouldn't love her...she's my sister!"
Miranda shook her head "No...she can just do an ultrasound and show the lack of baby right?" she really didn't want to be a mom, it never was a dream of hers and it scared her to death thinking about it and all the judgement she'd get from country club moms...
Krissy nodded numbly, just following him out and back home. She clung to him when they reached it, keeping her face tucked against his chest. "It was young. Less than a week old. I couldn't even see it when it came out. But it was scary. I thought it would be big. I thought it would wiggle or something…" she bit her lip, crying again.Laila followed Chris back to the room. "I don't blame her. That is something pretty big. But I wish she had trusted us…" She agreed, climbing back into bed. "You have to admit, being pregnant, when that was the one thing that your brother didn't want to happen, would probably be nerve-wracking."
Antony shrugged, not an expert on medical terms. "I don't know what she'll do honey, but we'll see." he nodded as the nurse came in.
"So honey, you want to find out if you're pregnant?"
Danny held her close "It's ok...it's ok, it's over...and we will be much more cautious about things...when we are ready to have kids and start a family it'll be a beautiful experience we will both share...till then, I really want you to talk to a counselor." he said honestly handing her the card that Malibu handed to him "He said to tell you it's from the agency."Chris sighed and nodded "I know...but, even with everything she used to trust me with every secret and we could talk about anything...I wish she could just release all this stress and distrust...there's a counselor for family members of agents."
Miranda nodded and sat up "So it's just the cold gel and machine right? An ultrasound? I've never had to go to a doctor before."
Krissy nodded slowly, agreeing with him. She didn't want to have another incident like this ever again. Especially not with a child. She swallowed then. Counsellor? Why? She didn't think she needed to talk to anyone. But she nodded for Danny's sake and took the card, slipping it into her pocket. "Ok." She said softly. At least it was from the agency. Laila nodded slowly, knowing that much was given. It was sad, really, that she didn't trust anymore, and part of her wondered why that change had happened. "A counsellor would probably be good for her." she agreed, reaching over her put her hand on his arm. "This is probably just one small set back that we can solve, Chris. Not anything permanent."
The nurse nodded, pulling out the equipment. "We can do it that way if you prefer it. We just want you comfortable." she smiled gently as she opened up the gown and spread gel over her stomach. "Just relax love."
Danny kissed her again and sighed driving back to the beach house and helping her out of his car and to her bedroom getting her tucked in and staying by her side "hey...I want you to be honest with me, what are you feeling right now?"Chris sighed and nodded "I know, it's just hard for me to not feel responsible she's my sister I raisec her and all of the sudden I found out she can't trust me? Who can she trust? Why did this start? I thought she was doing well...good grades, playing sport great boyfriend..."
Miranda sighef in relief "we can just skip the other part all together..." Though she didn't realize it was mandatory. She watched the screen and bit her lip not seeing much "I don't see anything..."
Krissy leaned on Danny as they walked into her house, where he tucked her in. She curled up, holding the blankets tight around her head so only her face was visible. She opened her eyes, looking over at Daniel. Being honest? She owed it to him to try again. "I'm sad, and scared, and empty, and… hurting…" She said honestly, sighing. Laila moved closer to him, and lay her head on his shoulder. "You were gone for three months, Chris, if it was my guess, she was trying to cope with life on her own, and learned to only trust herself…" She suggested. "It was hard for her, Chris, learning that she depended on you so much."
The doctor smiled gently, knowing that she could not skip that part, but she just moved the camera around, searching for a baby. "I don't see anything either, love." She assured, turning off the ultrasound. "Now I'm just going to do a quick manual check." She eased her feet into the stirrups.
Daniel frowned listening and reached in the blankets and took her hand squeezing it gently "what are you scared about...let's take each feeling at a time so I can ease then...or try to?" He asked leaning down so they could be face to face almost nose to nose. He hated seeing his love like this his bright shining star that kept his life bright..Chris closed his eyes "I really...don't want to hear that...the coma I was in caused more problems then it solved! I was finally getting a break a rest I deserved and it warped Keissy's whole mental state..."
Mira shook her head "no, there's no baby so I don't need to do this, thank you for your time but I'm not doing this." She said forcefully obvious fears in her eyes as she went to grab her clothes.
Krissy squeezed his hand back for comfort, not letting her eyes move away from his. She wanted to work through this, she really did. She wanted to get better, to be trusting again. "Alright. I'm not scared of anything right now. Just still scared because of what happened before." she swallowed. "And kind of… hollow feeling…" She shook her head. "I can't even explain it, how could I explain it to you?" She said, a note of despair in her voice.Laila immediately felt sick for bringing it up. She cupped his face in her hands, kissing his forehead. "You needed the rest. Don't blame yourself. It was good for you. Three months of recuperation is much better than an indefinite time with you either dead or too weak to take care of us." she kissed his cheek. "She needed to learn to live on her own soon. She'll heal soon, especially with the help of counselling."
Antony gently took her hand, squeezing it. "She'll be gentle." he reassured. The doctor nodded. "Just a quick look." She promised. "Wont take longer than a minute, darling." She said, hoping she would sit down again.
Danny frowned and brushed her cheek and nose carefully "shh shh I'm trying to help, not make you more stressed..." He kissed her head and lips "I'm sorry that you have to feel this...you know I would do anything to help you baby girl...you know that right?" He sighed helding her to his chest.Chris sighed and nodded pressing his nose against hers and kissed her lips "I know...I'm glad that I did, I'm glad I have my baby girl I just wish I could help Krissy...but Danny is going to take care of her and I have to be ok with that." He smiled at Parker "hi...you are going to love our home baby..."
Miranda started to lose it, hyperventilating and grabbing the tool and throwing it "I said no damn it!" She was reliving her past and her sensai every single night...she got dressed and pushed out the door running from the clinic.
Krissy nodded, slowly, tucking herself against his chest. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry. I just can't make sense of what I'm feeling." she said honestly. "Mostly guilty." She added a little softer. For that much was true. She hated that this all had turned out so poorly. She had never meant to hurt anyone. She had been trying to keep from hurting anyone. Laila nodded, kissing him back gently. "Exactly. We have our daughter, and Krissy still wants your support, but she has someone caring for her now." She promised, watching as he scooped up their baby. "She'll love our house, and the water…" She smiled, looking down at Parker. "There's a lot to show and teach our baby…"
Antony hopped up immediately, jogging after her. "Wait! Mira!" he called, feeling sick. He had seen her terror as she ran out. Why was she so afraid of the doctors? She was doing so well… he jogged after her. "Please… I'm sorry! What happened?"
Danny watched her stroking back her hair "I have an antidepressant and anti anxiety...do you want to try them?...it'll help ok?" He promised and showed her the bottles "see? Completely safe...they were mine before I met you...low dose ok?" He assured and grabbed a water bottle handing it to her.Chris sighed "Laila im going back to work on Monsay, I'm helping a newbie and a guy named Antonio, I'm excited for my new team...I'll stay in the states though ok? No Iraq..."
Mira fell into his chest angrily "I screamed no...he woukdnt listen...he had tools too...he was impotent...and I was the only girl..." She clawed at him and shoved him away "don't" she shook her head "I'm sorry,..I'm sorry..." She started to cry "I don't know what's happening.."
Krissy swallowed, not liking the idea of any pills or drugs, for obvious reasons. But she didn't say no. She just took the bottles quietly, reading the labels, and the warnings, carefully. Finally deciding that it wasn't anything that would kill her, or get her addicted, she nodded and took out a tablet of each, using the water to down them. She grimaced and then curled up against Daniel again, "Thank you." She whispered. Laila swallowed, keeping her eyes on Parker. She nodded slowly as she ran her thumb over Parker's cheek. "Of course. You've been gone long enough already. They need you back again." she said, looking up at him. "I can't say that I won't worry about you, because I will. But I know you can take care of yourself." She smiled a little then.
Antony gripped her shoulders, trying to keep her upright. She looked about ready to topple over… And then she started talking about her Sensai, and tools, and then she started clawing at him and Antony just stood there with wide eyes, until she started crying, and he gathered her to his chest, hoping to comfort her. "Hey… You're safe now. It must have been an anxiety attack, or something of the sort."
Daniel nodded and smiled watching her "so guess what? My parents are back together again, they are trying to make it work...which is amazing since no one lives at the house anymore...they aren't trying to just make things less awkward...I think it's great i mean having two birthday was fun for awhile but then it just sucks..."Chris smiled and nuzzled her nose against his "I'll be fine you know...no dangerous missions I swear, but I am worried about this newbie he's ruthless like more then I ever was...I'm worried he's taking his anger out on someone..."
Mira swallowed and nodded "just an attack and lack of sleep..." She sighed holding onto him tightly "I'm sorry I pushed you away and made a scene...I just can't do it..." She whispered and closed her eyes tightly "I dont want a kid..."
Krissy brightened at that. She knew that having divorced parents had been hard on him, and she couldn't have been happier for his sake. "Oh that's wonderful news!" She said enthusiastically. "I'm glad they got together again." She said, wondering how horrible it must have been for him growing up. "Have they moved back into one house again?"Laila smiled then, nuzzling against him. "Of course, thank you. No dangers." She smiled, resting against him. A ruthless agent sounded like both a benefit and a draw back. How could one kid hold that much anger. "What will you do about that?" she asked softly. "He'll need help if he's suffering that badly."
Antony nodded, scooping her up and walking her back up to her apartment. He didn't put her down until they were in her room, where he tucked her into bed. "It's quite alright, Mira, just rest, ok? Don't want you having another attack." he said gently, smiling. "We won't have a kid, until you're ready and ask for one." He promised her, kissing her forehead.
Danny shook his head "not yet but they went on dates and are on vacation right now, at first I thought they were just both dating other people but then their wedding pictures were put back out and stuff like that...I think it was Benny getting an allergic reaction that did it, stupid kid ate a cashew which obviously was made at a peanut factory."Chris sighed "try to be a good example and brother figure I guess...not get on his bad side and keep the team safe, Brand is counting on me to keep everyone in line while he is getting married in Italy. It's a brilliant way to make sure no one comes to the wedding."
Mira took her pills that made her block out the past as she lay in bed and watched him "I'll just be bad at it and judged...I already get enough crap I don't need my kid dealing with it too...though our kid would be the most awesone kid obviously, little bad ass..."
Krissy nodded slowly. "Well that's definitely a start." She agreed, imagining what it would be like to be divorced for so many years, only to realize that you might have had it right when you married… She shook her head. "That kid's a genius if it worked to get your parents back together." she said, smiling softly. Laila nodded in agreement, knowing that there wasn't much more besides that that could be done to help him. One had to be careful around such types, but she had not doubt that Chris could help him, and at least keep him in line. She smiled then. "A wedding in Italy. How sweet. I heard that Delaney found her family again, is that true?" she asked, curious.
Antony moved to sit beside her, just watching her and making sure she looked like she was doing alright. He didn't want her to be in any pain, or panicked like she had been before. He nodded in understanding as she spoke, and then chuckled. "Yes, I completely agree. They would have such awesome parents…" he smiled at her.
Danny chuckled "I don't think he thought that far ahead...I think he just ate it without thinking, Ben isn't the sharpest tack in the box." He shook his head and played with her fingers and down her stomach. "I love you..."Chris nodded "crazy right? Her mom was never dead and she has a little brother...Brandon and her are being great parents so everything is working out. Ready to head out? I want to get home."
Mira sighed and pulled him close to her and hugged him tightly "I'll go to the doctor agsin...I'll be good I promise..."
Krissy giggled then, shaking her head. He sounded like a sweet little boy, and it was cute to think of. "Well if it worked… right?" She smiled, twining her fingers with his as he played with her stomach. She smiled, as it tickled. "Love you too." She said softly. Laila shook her head slowly. She couldn't even fathom what it might be like to suddenly discover you had family members you didn't know about. She nodded then, sliding off the bed and changing into her clothes, which were too big now, that she was no longer pregnant. "Yes. Let's get home." She agreed, smiling at him as she bundled up Parker into the carseat and carried it out to the lobby.
Antony shook his head slowly, wrapping his arms around her. "No, that's not necessary. You aren't pregnant, you would have seen that through the ultrasound. The check up was just to see if you were healthy or not, and we know that you are." he assured her.
Danny smiled loving to see her smile and hear that sweet laugh, his Krissy "all of this peanut butter talk is making me hungry! Ill make us a sandwich ok? You will be ok here? Do you want a glass of milk?" He got up his stomach growling.Chris was getting ready to meet his new team meats, he saw the kid almost immediately "I'm Chris, I'm your new trainer. Brandon told me about you. Ready to go out on the field for the first time?" He saw Antony and grinned "you must be Antony! I've heard all about your stealth skills incredible, nice pheonix tattoo!"
Krissy chuckled then, shaking her head. "Of course you want PB." She teased, issuing his cheek as he stood. "I'm fine with a sandwich. Scratch that, the milk would be good too, if that's ok?" she asked, not wanting him to feel like she was being pushy. A teen with shaggy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes looked up, his smile soft, but guarded. "Josh." He said, shaking his hand. "Yeah, I'm ready." A sort of anticipation and eagerness lit up his features.
Antony strolled over, smiling. "Yeah, that's me. And I've heard all about your shooting." He glanced down at his tat and smiled. "Yeah, Mira did it for me. She's quite the artist."
Danny smiled and nodded "yeah, I'm here to take care of you Krissy." He made the sandwich and poured her a cup of milk bringing it back upstairs to her. He set up the tray for her and munched on the sandwich happily "I love sticky peanut butter!" He said with a mouthful.Chris grinned "she's also incredible analyst, and happens to be the one person that can kick my butt in kickboxing." He shook his head embarrased by that fact. He handed Josh his iPad and tag "this is your lifeline, you already got your watch I see...have any questions so far?"
Krissy smiled softly as he left to grab them the food, and she sat up in the bed as she took the sandwich and glass, thanking him before taking a bite and washing it down with milk. "No, really? I hadn't noticed…" she teased, liking the feel of peanut butter as well. She thought it was cute that he loved it so much. "One of these days you're going to develop and allergy to peanuts cause you eat them so much. Then what are you going to do?"Antony laughed easily then, shaking his head. "Yeah, that sounds like her." he said, smiling a little as he checked his watch, making sure it was in working order.
Josh took the iPad and slipped it into his bag, hanging his tags around his neck. He nodded then, rolling back his sleeve so the watch was visible. "Yeah, I got it. Don't know all the functions yet though. I do have one question. What are we doing today?"
Danny laughed "then I'll have an epi pen at hand all the time...and still eat it just as much." He insisted and nudged her nose with him "your addicted to cheese, and I don't give you grief about it." He grinned and cleaned up the plate and glass "want anything else? Or do you want to rest?"Chris nodded "good question, we are getting your back story written and then taking you to the club where most of the unsubs we have on file meet and you can do your first undercover work. How does that sound?"
Krissy shook her head, laughing. "You're so stubborn, you know that?" She asked, laying back again as he took her plate and glass. "I'm fine for now, Danny, thanks." She said, tucking herself into the blankets again. "I'll just rest for a bit."Josh thought that over. Backstory. Of course he would need one. And then he would get to go to the clubs and actually do some undercover work! Josh couldn't help the way his face lit up in excitement. "Awesome!" He replied.
Antony chuckled. "Well I suppose we should get on it then, before the kid dies of excitement."
Danny nodded and kissed her forehead "sounds great...I'm going to go get some homework done alright? So let me know when your up? Or need anything ok?" He nuzzled his nose with hers and went downstairs to the kitchen to study.Chris laughed "we all remember being that excited, alright our best writer is hospitalized so we have to make do with what we have. We need to know your original story before changing if up Jodh, that's how it works."
Krissy nodded, smiling as he left to work on homework. "Alright. Don't worry about me." She fell asleep almost immediately, drifting in and out of dreams about babies and blood. When she woke, she had a shower and changed into new clothes and then went downstairs to go find Daniel. Josh's smile wavered when he said he needed to know his previous story. But he nodded slowly, knowing this was going to have come up sooner or later. "I lived with my aunt until I was twelve. Joined a street gang, ended up in a detention centre, and then you guys picked me up." He summarized, his face staying passive.
Delaney grinned at her brother as they entered the restaurant "so what's it like being a pilot? Is your classes hard?" She was nervous but really excited to get to know this amazing guy that was her little brother. They sat outside on the balcony looking out at the beautiful ocean and the sun painted homes.Chris nodded and write down everything "join the club kid, Antony and I are both what they call past offenders...Antony was in a gang and I lived on the streets. It just gives you more experiance, do you know where your aunt is now?"
Jace shrugged, sitting down at the table in the balcony of the restaurant, so they could watch the ocean as they ate. "Its a certain thrill, being the sole driver in a plane." He admitted, shrugging. "It's cool that way. The classes are tough, but not anything I can't manage." He said, smiling as he picked up a menu.Josh seemed a little surprised by that, but a hesitant crawled across his features, and he felt like he had people he could relate to. "No. Probably in the same apartment, but I don't want to go back to check." he said honestly, shrugging. He didn't want to go back there ever again.
Delaney nodded and smiled "it sounds fascinating...I would love to fly with you, you look handsome in your uniform. Do you have any girls you date? You are a guy, and I know you don't tell mother everything I didn't tell father about Brandon. So spill." She raised a brow knowingly.Chris nodded and handed him the new background story and file "here we are, ready to go through interrogation training, you are the lead on arresting the mask man. He kills the victims and then places a white emotionless over the faces with the number of how many he has killed written in blood."
Jace found himself smiling slowly, and he shook his head. "Surprisingly, I can't give you any juicy facts. I'm just as boring as mother told you. There isn't one female in my class, and outside of school, I don't get out much." he admitted, shrugging. He raised an eyebrow at her across the table. "What made you think I had a girlfriend?"Josh nodded solemnly. "So… what am I supposed to do? Find him? Kill him?" he asked, not quite sure what was needed of him. Though this killer did sound pretty gruesome, talk about leaving your mark.
Delaney blinked "oh...well your handsome and very kind and I suspected that women would be wise and know that your a catch." She smiled lightly "what if I set you up with someone I work with? She's super cute and shy,."Chris nodded "find him, but don't kill him. We'll teach you to interrogate and then he'll go on death row. That's how it's supposed to go but if he attacks shoot him." He said seriously "don't hesitste, he's ruthless and a sociopath."
Jace chuckled, shaking his head. "Thanks, but no, that's alright. Mother's been trying to set me up for years." He admitted, his eyes twinkling as he glanced over at her. "I don't need two matchmakers, but thanks for the offer." he looked up as the food came over, and thanked the waiter before starting on his pasta. "But, I know nothing of your life. what's it like being married and with a family?"Josh nodded, committing that to memory. Interrogate, death row, shoot if attacked. "Got it." he agreed. "And you guys will be around I assume?" He asked, wanting to make sure that he had back up should things go wrong. He wasn't afraid, he was just cautious. This was his first mission after all.
Delaney passed him the picture "you sure?...I mean she's cute and she used to work in the Air Force." She laughed "I never thought I'd be giving dating advice to my little brother...but your a good guy you deserve a cute girl." She smiled thinking about it "it certainly came as a shock, I saved Lilly from being sexually trafficked...and then I realized I needed a husband and Brandon saved my life and was my best friend...not a white picket fence story sorry."Chris nodded "yeah of course, and your always monitored by the staff and we always have backup even single missions like when I was in China, that was my first mission. You've got this kid, want to see more of his victims to stir that anger, that's what I do."
Jace glanced at the picture and smiled politely. "She's cute." He agreed. "but I really just don't have time for relationships right now." He shrugged noncommittally. Then he listened with rapt attention as she told of her story, and his smile crept up again. "Sounds like you're something of a hero for that girl." he said, smiling. "You found her in… Asia?" he asked, not remembering where she was from. Josh nodded, glad that the whole mission wasn't just hinged on his success or failure. "Great, thanks. Alright. Well, I guess I'll go get dressed and head out then." He said, pulling out his iPad. He brought up the images of the victims and flipped through them as he got ready.
Delaney shook her head and bit her lip "I'm not a hero, I just fell in love with this little girl...Thailand she's from Thailand." She took her phone back and sighed "I understand I just want to be a part of your life you know...your my baby brother."Chris looked over at Antony and gave a smile "think the kid is ready?" He messed with his watch "I'll have my gun if the kid loses his nerve...that guy isn't going down without a fight."
Jace chuckled. "Well that seems to have done a great deal of good for the little girl." He said gently, smiling as he sipped the wine they had been given. "I'm happy that we're a family again, I really am." He said honestly. "And I want you to be a part of my life." he said seriously, glancing over at her. "But I… I don't plan on relationships for a long while now."Antony chuckled, nodding slowly. "He looks ready." He said, shrugging. "The kid's got fire, and that's good. I don't doubt he'll get the guy." he said, grabbing a gun for himself. "But just in case… it's always good to come prepared. I still don't know whether or not he'll just lose it and shoot the murderer on sight. Some newbies do that, when they panic."
Delaney raised a brow "may I ask why?...I mean most guys still date every once in awhile. Sorry I do profiling for my job I can't help but be curious..." She sipped her drink "so spill.." She gave an encouraging smile as she ate her food.Chris nodded "yeah...some times they take suicide pills and you deal with a dead body..." He shook his head getting into the van and driving to the club "go in first kid we'll be right behind you."
Jace sighed softly, finishing off the last couple noodles on his plate. "Mostly because of the work thing. But I guess also cause of this one friend I had." he hated talking about it, and he could only hope she didn't keep asking questions after he told her. "He was in love with a girl. Real sweet thing, and I guess she broke up with him because she hated that he was in the army, and every day she could lose him. But the split ruined my friend. He was found at the bottom of a cliff three days later." He finished, looking up at her then. "If that's what love is, I want no part in it."Josh was incredibly tense. Mostly from caution, and also from the worry that he might screw this all up. He walked into the club casually, however, blending in with the crowds. And that was when he recognized one face, and his eyes hardened. He carefully slipped through the people towards him.
Delaney swallowed feeling sick for him "that isn't love Jace...I didn't believe in love either Jace, I was the shy little assistant that was too terrified to talk to a guy...Didn't stop Brandon, I fell hard...the same night I was kidnapped tortured and gang raped...I thought I'd never trust again...but Brandon saved my life, he gave me my space and made me feel like I had some worth."Chris followed him "he's got him locked in, not too fast kid...let him come to you...he will just breathe and stay calm." He hissed into the microphone and stayed on the side pretending to people watch grinning like a drunk.
Jace grit his teeth at her story, feeling anger roil up in him. How could something so awful happen to the sweet girl that was sitting across from him. "I'm glad you were saved." he said honestly. "And I'm sorry. That that happened. Maybe someday I'll find love. But for now, I'm fine on my own." He said, finishing his wine and smiling lightly. "You ready for the walk back?"Josh heard Chris, and he acknowledged him by slowing his pace, but only by a fraction. His eyes followed his target, and he headed for the back door, making sure the man noticed him. Sure enough, like Chris said, the murderer followed Josh out into the back where the night was quiet. The man growled something unintelligible, his hand reaching for his belt, and Josh reacted. The knife was out faster than you could blink, speared through the killer's hand and into the wall behind him. Josh cuffed his other hand, and then frowned with worry. How was he supposed to cuff him when he had one hand pinned to a wall?
Delaney raised a brow "I'll make you a deal, talk to my friend. One date and then I'll never bug you again about it." She paid for her part of the meal and got up smiling "can't wait...it's the most gorgeous city at sunset...just wish we could stay...but the agency can't survive without Brandon."Chris followed him and watched as the guy tore threw the flesh of his knife and dove the knife into his shoulder. Chris shot and swore going to Josh "hold on kid...I'm getting you help." He helped him to the car keeping pressure on the wound.
Jace payed for his food, and left the tip, and then walked out with her, his hands in his pockets, and smiled. "It is a nice city at sunset." he agreed, looking around at the scenery. It seemed to glow with fire as the sun sank into the water. Then he raised an eyebrow. "I'll agree to talk to her, but no way are you getting me to go on a date. I can put up with your bugging better than you think if you mean to use that as a threat to get me to go on a date." he teased. Josh's eyes widened as the guy tore his hand free, and then there was blinding pain in his shoulder and all the air disappeared. All he could think was that he failed, as his world spun and Chris got him to the car. "Is he dead?" He mumbled, blinking to try and clear his vision.
Delaney sighed and smiled "dinner. Fine? You can even leave in the middle of it. But come on, it's a dinner and drinks Jace you can't have something against that? And she's a solider herself so she won't get upset that you go on missions." She looked around and frowned "streets are empty..."Chris nodded "yeah he's dead...he's dead..." He assured and got him to the hospital "do you have anybody you want us to call Josh?...friends, girlfriend?" He asked needing to stay with this kid he should have shot sooner.
Jace rolled his eyes. "That is still a date in my books, Delaney. Any girl would read into it that way, and I don't want that." he said seriously. He wasn't looking for romance. He chuckled then, nodding. "The fiesta is happening at the beach. The whole town goes to celebrate." he explained. "We have the place to ourselves."Josh nodded, relaxing his head back and letting out a sigh. His arm didn't even hurt. He was in shock, but it was calming to not feel the pain, in a sort of dizzy, nausea filled way. "No, that's ok." he said softly. There was no one. Even if there was, he wouldn't want to see them after he failed so miserably.
Delaney sighed "Jace come on im not asking you much, this girl needs a good friend not romance ok? She gasped as a gun appeared in front of her face, she recognized the man from the kidnapping and growled grabbing her own gun "I will shoot you son of a bitch!"Chris helped him through the surgery and squeezed his hand "you did great kid...really, you didn't fail you did exactly what I would have..." A nurse aide came in she gave a smile "going to make you feel all better..."
Jace shrugged. "We'll see. I can't promise anything." When a man with a gun jumped out in front of them, Jace didn't blink. The gun was knocked from his hands and in Jace's in a matter of seconds. The man turned heel and ran. "Don't shoot." he hissed at Delaney, running after him. Jace's arm had long gone numb, as the muscles and tendons had been screwed up, but if the doctor could fix him then he would be eternally grateful. He didn't want to lose his arm. "It's starting to hurt." he said simply, glad that Chris didn't think he had failed. "But I couldn't get him myself…"
Delaney tucked the gun back and chased after them "if you don't shoot I will Jace!" She yelled feeling the fear and anger rush again, what are the odds that he would find her...here of all places? She was angry and wanted him dead suffering like she did.Chris shook his head "focus on me kid...I never expected you to, trust me the first real kill is the most stressful moment of your life. Some agents never have gone through with it..." He watched as they prepared him for surgery just giving him an epidural to numb it "focus on me..."
Jace nodded, still finding it strange that his sister already had a family, and she was only a couple years older than him. She was grown up, before he had even known her at all. "yeah… It's a little strange." he agreed. "But it's nice to finally have time. So you were an agent too, right?"
Antony followed her into the room, not finding anything special with it, but thinking it was cute that she did, none the less. He laughed then, taking the gown and helping her change into it. "It's not really supposed to cover anything, hon…"
