Rewind

Ty didn't know how long they'd been embracing or how long the slow kiss had continued. He had not expected to experience this with Libby, but now that he was here, it felt so good.

Eventually he knows that they need to pull away, lest they make some bad decisions. But he lets the kiss linger for a few more moments, drinking in the last bit of incredibly warm feelings. Drawing back slightly, a smile comes to his lips and he gives Libby's nose a soft little kiss. "I think we both won," he concludes quietly.

Still grinning, he pulls himself up, relieving the weight from Libby. Helping her up off the floor too, he keeps her hand in his, pulling her back to the couch with him. Then lying on his side, he eases her down with him so she could lie in front of him. With his chin right above her head, he could still see the television, and his arm drapes around her waist, tucking her in closely to him, her back against his stomach and chest.

Kissing the top of her head, he settles his own head into a throw pillow before finding the remote and rewinding the movie.


Reese lets out a little groan and rubs his forehead wearily. "Why is he lying?" He looks over to the chairs on the other side of the desk where Phinox was sitting after bringing the report on Alec. "And he's not even doing a good job." He shrugs. "That would indicate panic to me... but why? I mean, you're right - any decent Agency member is going to not only have a keen sense of direction, but they could lie through their teeth and no one would ever know. Alec is messing up his story big time."

Still thinking, he shakes his head. "Maybe he wanted it to seem real... you know, an average person might contradict themselves a few times if they'd been through trauma like a kidnapping. But would he really think that we would view him as average? But then we're still back to square one - why would he lie at all?"

Looking at Phinox, he just lets the wheels in his mind turn for a few moments. "Do you think he was sent back here for a purpose? I mean... bad intentions from the Agency? Make it look like they tried to kill him, then send him here to feed them information? He should still lie better if that was the case, but setting that aside, it's possible, isn't it? I mean, he's been helping us a bit lately, sure but... if they made a better deal with him or he finally got that freedom he wants... do you think he would come back here and double-cross us?"
