Doing really well

For some reason Chance couldn't explain, he enjoyed seeing the surprise on Destiny's face. Maybe because he knew that right now, not much was bright in her life. He hadn't wanted this assignment and would still high-tail it back to Arizona if he could... but it could be worse. Destiny was nice, and she did deserve a fair chance after everything had happened.

Getting out of the car too, Chance bites his lip and nods in response to her. "Yeah... I knew it was a place like this." His smile can't help but break loose again. Taking a good glance around their surroundings, even though it might appear to some that Chance wasn't paying attention, all of his senses were on high alert. This was one job in which he could never let his guard down.

"Alright... lets go see our new pad." Walking with Destiny, he heads for the door. He had a key, but that wasn't the only thing that needed to be used. A key code also had to be punched in, and he makes sure Destiny knows what it is and can remember before going inside.

It's a nice house - not grand but very clean with nice furnishings. The living room has a good amount of space and the kitchen is light and airy. There are two bathrooms and two bedrooms... Chance mentions they can have their own bathrooms, and he would probably claim a corner of the living room instead of the bedroom so he could be in constant monitoring of the house. Destiny was free to pick which bedroom she wanted or even both.

As they walk, Chance explains all he'd learned on paper the night before. This house had a whole lot more security than one could see. There were hidden cameras everywhere, connected to the alarm system. If the alarm was triggered, the cameras would automatically connect back at TJY so someone there could be alerted and would see what was going on. Outside, the house was surrounded by motion sensors.

Chance points out the kitchen window once they'd made a full sweep of the house. "So much as a dog pees over that line out there and I'll be alerted here inside."

He would be set up in the corner of the living room with several monitors that would rotate through the outside security cameras, helping him keep an eye on everything, day or night. All of the windows were bulletproof, and the locks were reinforced, preventing anyone from breaking in.

"It's as tight as a drum but rather pleasant." Chance sets his hands on his hips and looks around again, not minding this at all. Nights on an infirmary cot were not his cup of tea. This... this was alright.

Catching Destiny's eye, he grins. "The fun part will be stocking up the fridge before we move in."


Leo's chest heaved with his breath as his adrenaline continued to race through his veins. His eyes remain locked with Cassy's. A bead of sweat runs down the side of his face. The silence is overwhelming, as is the feeling of her fingers raking through his hair. Her touch sent chills down his spine and he can feel the warmth creeping into his face.

The look in Cassy's eye is unmistakable. Leo knew that she still wanted to be more than friends, and his dancing style tonight had not helped matters. In this moment, she was in his arms and he in hers, making it nearly impossible to say no. Still holding her safely with one arm, his other hand comes up to touch his palm to the side of her face. He had rougher hands than one might think. While he was viewed by so many as clumsy and maybe inept, there was more hard work that went on behind the scenes, creating callouses on strong hands.

Leo's thumb moves along Cassy's cheek, the silence seeming to intensify the strange new tension in the air. Somehow Leo finally manages to find his voice, though it's quieter than intended. "Looks like you're... um... doing really well."

His eyes seemed to reveal he wanted to say more, but something held back his voice. Realizing he still hadn't moved, Leo shifts to straighten up, bringing Cassy up too so she could stand on her own. Letting her go, his eyes drift downward and he brushes at an imaginary piece of dirt on his pants. "I should... probably go if... if you've had enough practice."
