Chance nods thoughtfully before taking a swig of his water. "Yeah... I guess they got a couple ex-Agency fellas here. Always gotta watch their backs though, just like you. They're wanted for being traitors. Nice thing about the Agency though is that if you fight long enough or don't give 'em what they're looking for soon enough, eventually they get bored. Then they like to just sit back and observe, poking their target in the ribs just every once in a while."

He cocks his head a little, a small smile emerging again. "Which I'm sure will be the case with you. We'll keep them at bay long enough that one of these days you'll get a normal life back." Taking another sip, he chuckles. "You won't have to put up with me for the rest of your life, and I guarantee, that's a good thing for you."

Standing up, he puts the cap back on the bottle of water. "I guess Reese had the downtown station hopping today - they've already got a safe house suggested not far from here. So... we'll get to go check that out tomorrow." He nods, his eyes roaming as he searches for an appropriate end to their short conversation. "Goodnight, Destiny... rest well."


Jason moves his head a little, craning his neck to find Katie's eyes. A smile forms on his lips before he gives her forehead a kiss.

Thanks. I'd rather you whack me over the head than them... you're nicer.

Just settling back into the pillow and closing his eyes, there's a sudden little groan behind him. His eyes fly open again and he feels hot dog breath on his head, knowing Trooper must be standing at the end of the couch.

"You had to decide you need out right this moment, didn't you?"

Trooper gives another whiny groan and his tail starts to wag. He sticks his nose into Jason's hair, sniffing around and stretching his neck down beside Jason's head so he can give Katie a kiss too.

"Aw, ya big oaf!" Jason shoves the dog's head back again. "You think I wanna kiss her now that you've slobbered all over her?"

Trooper woofs and runs around to the front of the couch, looking for a way to join the cuddling.

"Ohhh, no you don't." Jason sits up, depositing Katie onto her own cushion. "You need to go out, remember?" Sighing, he forces himself to get up and let Trooper out in the back, then wanders back through to the living room, his hands tucked just inside his jeans pockets. He knew Katie needed to go home. It was late. Ambling to the couch, he reaches down, offering her his hands to pull her up too.

Thanks for coming over... I think I'll be able to sleep now... You're still my hero.
