Assassin

Axel chuckles a little at Jess' enthusiasm and willingness, no matter what he suggested they do. "Dessert sounds great. You know what I like." And he knew what she liked, which made it easy to order their Chinese food after he'd hung up with her.

Even though he felt like moping, he does manage to clean up his apartment a little bit and shower before Jess comes. He made an effort anyway, despite the feelings he was battling with on the inside.

The hour goes by quickly and soon Axel is joined by Jess and he opts to eat in the living room while they find some kind of movie to watch. It's not until they've already started eating that he finally admits what kind of day he's had.

"It didn't go well with Quinn this morning," he mentions just loud enough to be heard over the television. He tries to be casual about the whole thing though. "Not much has changed." He decides not to mention Ryan coming over. "Now, against all odds, his car is in the shop and I had to see him again. Supposedly he's gonna leave down as soon as he can, and I'll work my tail off to fix his car just to make it possible." Well, it was an awfully small nutshell, but that was the gist of everything.


Kyle smiles as Jackie accepts the invitation to join them all for pizza. He hadn't missed the surprise on her face, and it made him feel good to know that they were different than others... that's how they wanted it.

"Good - you can go convince Wayne to come. We figure we'll meet about seven?" He still didn't know where she or Wayne lived - if they resided in this town, or nearer to home. "Are you familiar with Mom and Pop's?"


Reese smirks a little at Trey's humor. He would have smiled had it not been annoying, but he had to admit that he hadn't expected any humor at all.

Just ready to dismiss him, Reese's comes to full attention again when Misty is mentioned. His eyes narrow in a warning glance. "You go right ahead and see her instead," he offers. "Don't mind me when I take advantage of an uncle's privileges and decide to not let you loose. Oh, and when her husband shows up, don't worry - he's just a retired assassin and torture expert. I'm sure he wouldn't mind you hitting on his wife."

Not batting an eye, he shrugs. "Or you can settle for Rick. Up to you though."
