Figured Out

Walking up the drive way Xander took in the ranch. It had been a long time since he was last here. Though somethings where in the exact same spot, a lot had changed and grown. Time never stood still, it always kept going no matter what happened. '

He couldn't help wonder who was still here, how had moved on, who was new and what everyone had been up too. This had been one of his many homes, and it was always be important to him. He cared about the people here, and he did care what happened.

Seeing someone coming down the driveway Xander didn't expect anything less with all that was going on. Drawing closer there was something about the man that he new, He was sure everyone here had changed a little like he had but still there was those little things that never changed. A small smile slipped across his lips as he finally stopped.

   "Mick...It's been a long time."

Back inside Angel nodded her head to Con. She could do her best, and she would be there too the check over Travis and make sure he was alright. Her nerves were shot at this point, and she was worried about everything but hopefully this would all be over soon.

   "I'll be there. I wont leave anyone high and dry."

Thinking for a long moment as Nate walked with Garret He new understood why Garret had killed the Agency man. It made sense and was clear. That is all Reese has asked for was for the truth but it was so hard for Garret. His heart ached for his friend and the whole situation.

   "You really like you have everything figured out don't you?"

Nate stopped for a second collecting his own thoughts. He tried to imagen how it was from Garret's side and as hard as he tried He just couldn't.

   "It's not we don't trust you Garret, you are not trusting us. It's a two way street not just one way. If you had told Reese exactly what you just told me, I can guarantee he would believe you. Sure he might be upset, might tell you next time don't do that. Bring the guy in and we would figure it out. But he would believe you. All he asked for what your reason why and he wanted to the truth. But you didnt trust us enough to do that. We can't trust you, if you can't trust us."

Turning and standing in front of Garret so he couldn't walk anymore Nate looked him in the eye. Some might be scared to do that to Garret but Nate was not.

   "Sure we have rules, we have guidelines we need to follow, and even I have dont agree with them all the time. But they have to be followed none the less. Reese doesn't want you to disappear and neater do I.  I'd rather know you are safe with the Elite, than without the Elite, not to mention I'd rather know my friend is ok in general, than aways wondering."

Waking Beth slowly looked around the room gaining her bearings. For a moment she forgot where she was. But slowly it came back and so did the sadness that followed. If only this all really had been a dream. But it wasn't and everything had been very real.

Slowly slipping out of bed Beth wondered from the room to see where Justin had gone. He said he wouldn't leave her so he had to be somewhere. Wondering to the door and looking out she saw him. Slipping out and sitting down next to him she tucked her arm under his and leaned her head on his shoulder.

There would be much for her to do today. Preparations, cleaning of old things and Sara's room. She would not ready to face any of the stuff but she would have to sooner or late. She was just happy she had Justin to help her though it all and she wouldn't have to be alone.

   "I wonder if the sun will make its appearance today or if the clouds will keep it at bay. I'm not sure what one i'd want more."
