Job

Alec closes his eyes for just a short moment as Ryan's hand touches his face. Reaching up, he takes her fingers, holding them in his own hand and just studying her gaze. Sick her her? He'd like to think he was that tough... that strong to fight these feelings, but he wasn't. "Why do you think I asked for free lunch breaks?"

A small grin plays at the corner of his mouth, begging to become a smile, but it remains just below the surface. Tilting her chin up with a finger, he leans down to let his lips touch hers once more as if checking to see if the feelings when he kissed her really did exist and hadn't been his imagination.

Pulling away, his thumb caresses her chin then moves to lightly run over her moist lips. And without a farewell, he backs up, turns and disappears into Reese's office once again.


Leo glances to the door once more as he hears a car engine, but he's disappointed again too. It wasn't the sound of Ryan's car. Rolling back under the car he was working on, he then hears Eli's voice, bantering with the other guys. He rolls out again, glancing over to the door and gives a wave with his greasy wrench. "Hey."

"Hey, Leo." Eli waves and wanders closer. "Guys just said Ryan was gone?"

"Yeah..." Worry laced Leo's words. "Darell said something about the chief of the Elite. I thought she'd be back a long time ago."

Eli furrows his brow, now concerned too. "Think it has something to do with that guy she was taking food to?"

"That's the only thing I could think of."

"Hmm... well... mind if I stick around here and wait for her? I wanted to tell her I got a job."

"Heeey, way to go! Where at?"

"Body shop over on eighth. Custom paint jobs. Showed 'em my bike and when they found out I did it myself, they hired me on the spot. I guess they lost one of their guys a couple weeks ago so... I got it."
