Theories

Sparky laughs as the buckle almost whacks Faith. "Gotta be careful with them things." Grinning, he takes a clean rag and reaches to wipe a little spatter of oil from her face. "They'll bite ya if you're not careful."

JT sighs wearily and nods. Maybe he'd be more enthusiastic with Hope's help, had he not felt such a burden on his shoulders. Giving his thanks and excusing himself, he goes back to the little spare room, slipping back inside.

The look he throws Amanda is one that said even though there was hope, he was not happy about everything he had learned. Easing down on the bed once more, he takes Bree's hand, mustering up a smile for her. "Hey... some friends from Nevada are here." He tries to be cheerful. "One of them is a woman named Hope, and she's a professional counselor, so she'll be able to testify you shouldn't be in any hospital."

He pauses, trying to think of how to state the truth about Gunner. "She's with Scott... another friend - you might have heard Gunner talk about him since he's an Elite agent. He said that Gunner's being held in jail for a little while, but he's doing just fine and one of their lawyers is gonna be working hard to get him out so we can all get back to normal."

A couple of the guys snicker as they hear about Ryan's speeding ticket, but they know better than to tease her too badly for fear they might have to deal with her wrath.

Eli holds in his own laugh and shakes his head. "Poor Speedy. Cops just don't like you, do they?"

Ron smirks and keeps working on his car. Noting Ryan's question about Leo a few minutes later, he rolls out from under the engine. "Leo took most of the day off like he has a lot the last few weeks. Darrel either doesn't care or hasn't noticed."

"Yeah..." Eli folds his arms casually. "I asked him last night what he was up to today and he never would give me a straight answer. Got any theories, Sis?"
