Sliding into the driver side Ryan buckles up. As Alec starts out of the Ryan takes note to him watching in the rear view mirror more than a normal person would. Finding it odd, it only makes her wonder more if he unannounced suspension was really true.
Once Alec guns it Ryan holds onto the door, not out of fear but just leverage. It felt odd being in the passenger seat and not the driver. Thought it still seemed to hold a sudden rush too it. Nothing saying anything Ryan enjoys the ride, keeping an eye out for any cops as well. The last things she need was her car to be spotted and turned in from street racing in town.
Spotting the same alleyway Alec did Ryan hopped he would use it and sure enough he did. Waiting silently seeing the car go by Ryan gives a shake of her head. She couldn't believe they actually followed them.
Turning her head to look at Alec Ryan gives a small sake. She had a feeling they might fallow, but hadn't taken note to anyone.
"I had no idea they were going to fallow. I can see why these people can get irritating fast."
Letting out a long sigh and smelling the rubber Ryan new she was going to have to some new tires. These roads were much differnt when racing on tires than out in the dessert, She didn't have the right protection on them. At least they were tired and nothing else.
"How about we hit up Burger King or McDonald before we go back. If you like you can keep driving. I kind of was enjoying the ride."

Tailed
Seeing the keys being held up in front of him, a grin creasing his lips. Snatching them from her hand like a cat going after a mouse, he straightens, bringing Ryan up with him, his one arm around her waist. "I'll be careful," he promises.
Heading to the driver's side, he slides in behind the wheel, starting the engine and taking just a quick moment to get his bearings. Backing from the parking space, he stops at the street, watching for traffic, but he seems to be watching longer than necessary.
Without warning, he revs the engine and peels onto the street, squealing the tires as he cuts the corner. He seems to be lost in his own little world, keeping an eye on the mirrors while accelerating far beyond the speed limit. Totally ignoring Ryan, he seems bent on concentrating on the rearview mirror especially.
Approaching an intersection, he takes it in in an instant. The light was red and there was too much traffic to run it. Slamming on the breaks, he whips the steering wheel around, using the hand break to skid, cutting a U-turn. Stepping on the gas again, he steers the car to the next nearest side road, barely making it around the curb. His eyes go to the mirror again and a curse slips out.
Speeding up, he takes another turn, then spots an alley. Screeching to a halt, the smell of burning rubber fills the air. Throwing the car in reverse, he whips it backward into the alley and out of the street, and out of sight. His fingers tap the wheel, waiting. And sure enough, the blue car speeds by, unaware of the hiding place.
Alec puts the car in park again and finally looks at Ryan. "They'd been tailing us since TJY," he informs. "Thought they might get tired after getting a clear view of the show, but apparently they wanted to make sure I didn't run off or something."
His eyes narrow slightly, showing his displeasure at the fact they'd been followed. "But now the fast food choice is up to you... and you can drive again."

Baby
Hearing someones voice Ryan lets out a groan at the interruption of a perfectly good moment. Sitting herself up on her elbows just a little bit she grins the the restraint employee. Humoring, danced in her eyes, the flame still there, but just pushed back for the time being.
Letting out a snicker at Alec's threat to the younger boy Ryan couldn't help but like his rough nature. A grin formed on her lips as she cocked her head and looked back at Alec once again.
"Yes, I believe we have, but it was worth it."
Returning the last kiss to Alec Ryan thinks for a moment. It wasn't just anyone she'd let drive her car. This was her baby and if anything happened to it, she'd have nothing to race. but in the pit of her stomach Ryan trusted Alec, and for the first time ever she would agree to letting someone else drive her car.
"Ok, you can drive her, but you have to be gentile with her."
Moving just a little to get the keys from her pocket Ryan holds them up for Alec to take.
"I would suggest stopping at a fast food place on the way back. We don't really have much time for anything else."

Caught
Alec buries his head in deeper next to Ryan's, feeling almost dizzy from the overwhelming feelings that rose up within him. It was more than just having a woman in his arms. Ryan was special, even if he didn't yet know why.
Feeling all of her returns of affection, he murmurs in her neck before moving back up to her lips again, his hold on her tightening.
"Hey! Hey, you!" The sound of someone approaching broke the moment.
Alec withdraws only slightly from Ryan, turning his head with distaste at the interruption. It was an employee of the restaurant, red-faced and flustered. "What?" Alec asks coolly.
"This... this is our parking lot and you either need to... to come in and eat or leave."
Alec straightens his arms, his palms still on the hood of Ryan's car as he stares at the young man. "Unless you want all your fingers on your right hand dislocated, I suggest you go back inside."
The employee's eyes widen, his jaw dropping. "I... I... you can't..."
Alec's eyes narrow. "Git," he hisses. Seeing the young man head for the door, he turns back to Ryan, still hovering over her. "I think we've worn out our welcome." A new look was in his eye for just a moment... humor.
Leaning down to place a last kiss on Ryan's lips, he draws away again. "How 'bout letting me drive?"

Nibble
Feeling Alec deeping the kiss, Ryan returns it with just a little bit of force as a challenging kiss back. His hands on her face, running through her hair and back to her face send the warmth surging through Ryan's body. Not caring they were in public all seemed lost once again as it had before.
Time didnt matter, nothing but just them, in this moment, together was what could be focused on. Ryan's other arm finding Alec's back as her hand kept racking through Alec's hair roughly.
As He pulls away Ryan can feel the pounding in her ears, and the blood that flowed so fast through her body as her heart just pounded harder and hard Alec's presence, being so close invoking these feelings, and these reaction Ryan craved more.
Trying to catch her breath for the moment it seems to be all sucked away once again as Alec starts to kiss her neck. Chills moved up and down Ryan's spine with every kiss that was places. A low growl came from Ryan's throat a symbol that what Alec was doing, was driving her crazy in a good way and she liked it. As he continued Ryan's hand grasp Alec's back keeping him close to her.
Turning her head a little as Alec continued to kiss her neck Ryan gives Alec's eat a light kiss her woulds coming out heavy.
"I think I could get use to being fair."
Moving away from Alec a little Ryan only returns once again giving Alec's ear a light nibble. Her arms still tightly around him keeping him close to her.

Fair
Bending his arms, Alec lets Ryan pull him down closer, his eyes closing as her hand makes its way back to his hair. Feeling her lips on his again, he welcomes them without hesitance, returning the kiss slowly at first.
Leaning on her a little more, he pushes her until she's lying back on the hood. Propped on his forearms, one hand pinning her shoulder down, while the other moves between raking her hair or cradling the side of her face.
Not caring where they were, Alec deepens the kiss, keeping Ryan roughly under his grasp. Drawing back once, he feels his pulse racing, his breath catching in his throat. "You should be fair more often. I think I like it better than cruelty."
Cocking his head the other way, he sends kisses down her neck, still not letting her go.

Oh boy!
Hearing the car door, and the gravel beneath Alec's feet Ryan turns her head just a little to one side her eyes following him as he came back to in front of her. As his head comes close to her, his arms on ether side, it forces Ryan back just a little more.
Looking into his eyes, and seeing the glint had returned it sends Ryan's heart pounding again. Every time it sounded louder than the last for sure thinking one of these times Alec would hear it himself.
Hearing his words but not replying to them right away, Ryan takes in Alec's gaze, memorizing his eyes, his look. Her own fire still blazing right. Lifting herself up just a little Ryan brings her lips to Alec's for a moment before retreating again. Her head still very close to his.
"I guess it's only fair."
Leaning back on just one of her arms Ryan brings the other to the side of Alec's face her thumb just maping his cheek bone for a moment. Finally though she slips her hand behind his head. Intertwining her fingers with his hair.
Pulling him forward closer to her, Ryan's lips meet his one more. The passion that seemed to have built up from this brief moment of holding it back, let go all at once. Pulling away and turning her head the other way Ryan brought her lips back to his once again, not giving to much time in between.

Time...
Alec's eyes don't move from Ryan, even after she's settled down on the hood of the car. He watches her, studying her, memorizing her. Her long hair flowed down over her shoulders as she leaned back on the car, falling around the jacket on her arms.
Watching her for several moments, Alec lets the silence rule, letting her be his interest for the moment. He knew he only had a short amount of time today, and there were more restrictions than they'd been informed of. Otherwise, he would have many more choices than he did. But under these conditions, he forced himself to remain content in the strange quiet. He'd never been more relieved to be outside, let alone with company.
Eventually though, he slides his feet back off the dashboard and reaches down to open the car door. Shutting it lightly, he walks around to the front of the car, his shoes crunching on loose gravel. Moving around to the bumper, he steps over Ryan's ankles with one foot, creating a bridge over her legs, then leans forward to almost meet her forehead with his, his hands resting on the hood on either side of her.
Staring into her eyes at close range, his glint had returned. "You were just cruel," he hisses. "Time to make up for it."

Sky
Waiting a few moment but not having Alec join her Ryan turns a little to look back in the windshield at him. The corners of her own mouth still turned up in a grin as she gives a little shake of her head. Everything wanted to go back to him, but to win this challenge she had to be strong. She had done it before when she walked away giving his food to Trooper, she could go it again.
Moving a few steps back Ryan sits down on the hood of the car. Leaning backwards she looks up at the sky as the clouds pass by. Every muscle in her body screaming for her to go back to Alec, and retrieve the kiss she so badly desired. But she sat leaning backwards looking at the sky.

Unspoken Dare
Feeling Ryan move closer to him, Alec turns his head, meeting her gaze head-on. His mouth is unmoved, but a sly grin lies behind his eyes.
Her fingers running through his hair sends a chill down his spine. Her breath on his face forces his eyes closed, his lips feeling hers brush against them, tempting him. But his hand that moves towards her shoulder is left wanting as she moves away, retreating from the car.
Staring after her, his gaze follows her around the car until he's looking out at her through the windshield. But instead of joining her, he leans back in the seat, putting both feet up on the dashboard and his hands behind his head. He quirks an eyebrow, the very corner of his mouth turning up ever so slightly.

Here we go again! O.O
Giving a shake of her head Ryan keeps Alec's words tucked into the back of her mind for now. Not saying anything else on them....for now.
Another snicker slips from her lips as she breaks and Alec goes forward a little. How could he have for gotten how she driver? She thought for sure it would live in his mind forever.
"Seat belts with me is probably a good thing. I like you better there, than a hood ornament."
Pulling into the parking lot of TGI Friday it was pretty easy to find a parking place. This time of day, and being the day after Christmas it was pretty deserted.
Parking Ryan takes the key out of the ignition and slips them into the pocket of her leather jacket. Just sitting in the car for a moment a grin forms on her lips at Alec's question. What drove her to do what she did next was something else she didn't know why.
Shifting a little Ryan's hand finds Alec's as her finger tips creep from his hand up his arm. Leaning over twords Alec Ryan can feel her heart thumping in her chest like it had any other time Alec came close to her.
Bringing her face extreaming close to his, her hand continues up his arm and than her fingers moves to run over his neck until she slip around to the back of of his head. Her fingers spreading apart through his hair, closing them around the soft strands. Her face not extremely close to his she could feel his breath on her skin.
Looking deep into Alec's eyes once more, Ryan's own reflected a burning fire behind them, but it was a much different than one of anger. This was was life and passion mixed with her rough nature. It was a look that perhaps she herself didn't even know she had. Ryan's lips so close to his they brush over them lightly. Her voice almost a whisper.
"Actually, I am very hungry. I hope you are too."
Pulling away and retreating her hand Ryan bows her head as the sassy, grin remains on her face. Getting out of the car Ryan takes a few steps twords the restront before stoping to wait for Alec.

Oops again
Alec listens to Ryan while letting his eyes shift between the window, mirrors and her face. Her comments bring an actual grin to his face and he turns a little in his seat. "Mmm... maybe you ought to be cruel a little more to make sure I understand completely how you make up for it."
Not paying attention, he hadn't noticed a stop sign coming up, and as the car brakes, his hand flies to the dashboard, keeping him from falling into the windshield. Quirking an eyebrow, he sits back, going for his seatbelt that he'd neglected to buckle earlier. "I forgot how you drive," he muse dryly, recalling the night she'd picked him up and he'd barely made it from her car to hurl on the side of the road.
Looking in the mirrors again, he watches the passing scenery, taking it all in. It felt like he'd been barricaded half his life... the outdoors looked different now. It was a different season. It was colder. Quieter.
TGI Fridays isn't that far away, so it's only a few minutes before they're parked in the parking lot again and Alec is removing his seatbelt. "Hungry?"

Some way, or another.
Continuing out to her car Ryan doesn't stop again till she is there. Opening the door and leaning on it for a moment while she watched Alec a smile formed on her lips. It was nice to already see Alec was enjoying himself, just seeing the sun on his face as he soaked it in. He had really had needed this.
Finally getting the rest of the way into the car Ryan puts the keys in the ignition and starts the car. Hearing the nickname Alec had giving her Ryan can't help the corners of her mouth lifting. She always hated when people called her Ry, like she was a kind of bread, but when Alec said it...it was completely different and she liked it.
Not taking to much time to think about Alec's question Ryan gives a little chuckle as she pulls out of the driveway.
"Maybe I do have mysterious powers..."
Ryan takes her hands off the wheel for a moment and waves her fingers in the air before replacing her hands down once again. Giving Alec a side long glace she was hoping to make him smile again. Shaking her head Ryan's grin remains.
"...but I highly doubt it. Sometimes its easiest to just ask for something you want, and I happened to want to take you out to lunch."
Looking back to the road Ryan continues to drive. Thinking for a moment so many of her own emotions seemed to float around inside her. Her biggest one was why did she felt like this around Alec. It was welcomed for sure, but she still didn't seem to understand it. He was good looking, and his eyes so deep she could get lost. The way he let the corners of his mouth upturn, and his touch it just sent chills through.
Trying to clear her head while she drives Ryan did what she could to push her questions away for now. At the moment, just having Alec by her side, seemed to invoke more feelings to bubble up, that were strange yet felt warm, and good.
"The world is cold and cruel, but not even one in it is. At least I don't think I am. Maybe cruel sometimes, but I always seem to make up for it some way...or another."
Ryan's grin widens as her eyes give a small twinkle.
Not really getting the answer she wanted Thirteen lets out a small sigh. Maybe in her mind she had hoped now that Trent new she new who he was he'd be all ready to have a relationship. But truth be told that would just make life to easy.
Feeling a little bit a disappointment Thirteen did her best to keep it hidden well, easy to be done as Ryder moved his arms around her shoulder his warmth comforting her, and providing a shelter.
Finally though sitting a little straighter in the booth Thirteen picks up her fork just a habit to keep her hands busy. Looking up Thirteen looks Trent head on, with strength in her gaze.
"No matter what, I still love you, and I am proud to have you as my father. Thank you for at least giving me this time with you."
Giving a smile to Trent Thirteen continues to try and remain strong. She new who her father was, and when people asked she didn't have to say she didn't know anymore that was as great a gift as anything. Trent had also given her a small bit of his time, and thought it wasn't long, at least it was something.

Mysterious power
Looking at Ryan as she heads for the door, questions begin to invade Alec's mind. What was he doing? What was he thinking? This was nuts. He didn't care about anybody but himself. He was to only look out for number one. His relationships with women - they were all the same and all based on one thing. Ryan would quicker turn him over to an enemy than anybody with those blazing eyes. So she'd brought him food, so what? So she'd given him gifts, so what? Nobody could be trusted - nobody. Feelings for someone like this - they simply weren't real.
Who was he kidding?
Alec hesitates to follow her out the door. She had done something to him. She had unlocked a door deep down in his soul that had been bolted shut and buried years ago, never to be opened again. Yet no matter how rusty the lock or how corroded the hinges... somehow, she had opened it. It was a far cry from love - that door hadn't seen the light of day for over half his life. But this one... its own opening proved more than physical attraction. Its opening spoke more than physical desires. Oh, they were there, but the light that was shining through this now-open door sent a feeling through him that was hard to recognize, it had been so long. But he knew that if someone were to come to harm Ryan, he would defend her. He cared. Her gifts had been more than food - more than a gold chain. And they had evoked the feelings that now wouldn't easily go away.
Finally shaking his head, Alec grabs his denim jacket and throws it on, following Ryan out. Down the hall and up the stairs, Alec had been this way plenty of times before - usually at night when hardly anyone was here so he wouldn't be accused of harassing or trying to escape.
Walking with Ryan, he received strange looks as they passed Elite officers. He was a prisoner, let free for an hour - it was strange to them too. But the look he gave back to them was a cold, icy gaze that made them look away first.
Out the door, up the elevator and finally into the outdoors. Just standing in the parking lot, Alec closes his eyes and takes a deep breath of the air he'd been lacking for so long now. Opening his eyes again, he squints, the sunlight almost too much. But he couldn't deny it felt good. Even the iciest of hearts needed the sunshine once in a while.
Continuing to walk behind Ryan, be recognizes her car from the night she'd picked him up. So long ago. He'd been so stupid. He should have headed straight out of town that night instead of trying to track her down. Things would be so different now. He thinks wryly that yes, he might be dead.
Slipping into the passenger side, Alec waits for Ryan, looking over at her with too many things running through his eyes to decipher. "So how did you do it, Ry? How did you convince the big boss to let me out? I feel like some ol' Andy Griffith show where he let the prisoners out for Christmas as long as they promised to come back. But that doesn't happen in the real world. Or do you have some mysterious power you're wielding on all of us?"
Trent falls quiet as he thinks, exchanging a quick glance with Ryder. "I... don't know. I guess we'll have to play it by ear."
He let his eyes roam back to Thirteen, the pain he felt greater than he had in a long time. He knew he was handling this situation well today, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. And if he had his druthers, he'd leave now and go hibernate in a corner for a while like he normally did. But this time he didn't have a choice but to face all of this through to the end.
"We still live quite a ways apart," he reminds her. "But... visits can always happen."
Ryder slips his hand from Thirteens in order to move his arm and wrap it around her shoulders. It was obvious that Trent didn't want to make any promises right now, and Ryder knew that logical or not, it might still be a bit of a disappointment.
Who was he kidding?
Alec hesitates to follow her out the door. She had done something to him. She had unlocked a door deep down in his soul that had been bolted shut and buried years ago, never to be opened again. Yet no matter how rusty the lock or how corroded the hinges... somehow, she had opened it. It was a far cry from love - that door hadn't seen the light of day for over half his life. But this one... its own opening proved more than physical attraction. Its opening spoke more than physical desires. Oh, they were there, but the light that was shining through this now-open door sent a feeling through him that was hard to recognize, it had been so long. But he knew that if someone were to come to harm Ryan, he would defend her. He cared. Her gifts had been more than food - more than a gold chain. And they had evoked the feelings that now wouldn't easily go away.
Finally shaking his head, Alec grabs his denim jacket and throws it on, following Ryan out. Down the hall and up the stairs, Alec had been this way plenty of times before - usually at night when hardly anyone was here so he wouldn't be accused of harassing or trying to escape.
Walking with Ryan, he received strange looks as they passed Elite officers. He was a prisoner, let free for an hour - it was strange to them too. But the look he gave back to them was a cold, icy gaze that made them look away first.

Yes...lunch.
Continuing the kiss Ryan felt like she was floating on the cloud. Lost in the waves at sea but safe in Alec's arms. These off feelings, she had never felt before, there were different, they were warm.
Looking into Alec's eyes as leaned his head against her Ryan searches there depths. The fire seemed to burn even brighter. Feelings thought no longer existed now pounded in his chest. Her own heart seemed to echo as it pounded so fast.
"I guess...it would be bad if Hal saw us like this."
Being let down to the ground Ryan has to hold Alec's arm for a moment as everything spins. But in minutes she is ok, and though her heart still pounded she could see straight again. Feeling his hand on her face she leans into it for just a moment, making a low humming sound. Though his hand was rough it still felt so nice on her skin.
"Lunch...yes..that sounds good."
Letting her hand slide from Alec's arm slowly Ryan turns for the door, glancing over her shoulder to make sure Alec was with her, the grin, and glint in her eye still remained.

Lunch
Completely overtaken the moment of heated passion, Alec persists with the exchange, feeling as though all sense has left him. But there was just something about Ryan. She had cared... she was beautiful... she was warm... she believed in him... she had convinced Reese to let him out for a while... she felt oh so good tucked in his arms.
It felt like a slice of eternity, when in reality it had been less than two full minutes when Alec straightens his head, catching breaths of air in between several last kisses. Leaning his forehead against Ryan's as he still held her, his heart pounded in his chest and heat flowed up his neck and into his face.
"I'd make you stay," he whispers, "but Hal's due for his rounds in three minutes."
Giving her nose another kiss, he searches her bright eyes, wondering how they had entranced him so. He'd had other women, but there was something different about this. He had the desires, but... Ryan had something that held him at bay... something that warned him not to step too far over the line, less he lose something he wanted. Deep, deep down a question lay in wait... could this really happen?
Finally letting Ryan slide back down to the floor, he reaches to her face, combing her hair behind her ear, then running his rough palm down her cheek. "Now that we've had dessert... maybe it's time for lunch."

Challange
As Alec's words hit Ryan's ears about her being his freedom it send chill down her spin. No one had ever said that to her before, and coming from Alec they felt as thought they had more power behind them sending another set of chills up her spin.
Feeling Alec lift her off the ground instincts kick in and Ryan wraps her legs around his wast. Her hands staying in the same position. The one now running up and down his back while the other was still playing with his hair. Oh soft it felt between her fingers, she just couldn't help it. Everything else seemed so far away, almost like her mind blacked out about where they were, and why.
Feeling Alec's lips move to her neck Ryan lets out a low noise in her throat as a suggestion that she liked that very much. Alec's words and breath drifting across her skin so soft. Finding her lips again Ryan continue to kiss Alec pretty back with force as if challenging him with her kiss.

*facedesk*
Alec pauses to catch his breath as Ryan draws back for just a moment. "This is my freedom," he whispers back. Holding her a little tighter, a low growl escapes his throat as her hands move roughly through his hair.
Deepening the kiss, his hands move down to lift her up, pressing her between himself and the wall so she's the same height as he, one arm wrapped around her torso, the other on her leg.
Cocking his head, he kisses her neck lightly. "I disabled the camera," he informs coyly. Returning to her lips, he opens his eyes to find hers, the glint still there. "Lunch can wait two minutes. If we're late back... they can call me a prisoner."
Kissing her lips again, he doesn't make a move to exit he room.

O....M....G....!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feeling Alec' arm slip around her wast and than the light kiss over her face till they stop at her lips Ryan feels once again everything she had yesterday. Seeming to get lost once again all was forgotten. Why did Alec alone make her feel this way.
Feeling weak in the knees like she might fall Ryan brings her one arm around Alec to his back holding onto him, and the other hand finds the back of his head her fingers combing through his hair lightly as she returned her his kiss with her own passion.
All else seemed for gotten.
Pulling away slightly Ryan turns her head the other way a small whisper leaving her lips...
"Your losing your hour of freedom you know."
Bringing her lips back to his once again Ryan continues the kiss. Moving her one hand that was on the back of his head to the side to draw circles around his ear and than back to his head once again raking her fingers through it a little rougher this time.

Crap
Receiving Ryan's kiss, Alec starts to return it, only to have her draw away again. Squinting a little, just the corner of his mouth starts to curl. "It will be huh? And that's all you have to show for it?"
He'd been thinking about yesterday ever since she'd left, so having here now, it all came back - the strange feelings she evoked. The warmth. That look in her eye that dared him closer.
Moving his hands from the wall to her waist, he brings her all the way to him, cocking his head to send light kisses from her forehead, over her eyes, nose, then finally to her lips again where he remains, unwilling to go that quickly. Freedom could wait another minute... or two.

Five Minutes
Not being able to help the chuckle again that escaped her lips Ryan just thought it was a bit humorous how skeptical he was at first, and than his comment about five minutes.
"Its only going to be five minutes if you don't hurry up."
Seeing Alec was ready Ryan is moves away from the wall a little but it pushed back against it was Alec steps in front of her pinning her against the wall. The look in his eye was the same one she saw yesterday before she had left. It was different than before, and it was the one that drew Ryan in, almost like a summon that just took over.
Pushing back against Alec just a little Ryan press her lips to his for a moment as her heart races once again sending her into a total loop.
"Don't worry, it will be!"
