Always a Fish

Nate looks at Garret for a long moment just studying him. He didn't really know what to say anymore honestly. He'd tried, and he had kept trying but he didn't know how much longer he could.  You could only help someone so long before it was time for them to help themselves. 

   "Here we go you not putting trust in us again. If Laura was scared of you, you wouldn't be here still, if Maggie wanted you to live up to anything other than who you are she'd tell you. She actually has been a lot better since you have been around. And me I think you can be normal, because I know you can be. But you can't...and thats whats holding you back."

Nate shifted a little just studying Garret for a moment. He wanted to go, should he let him go? Would holding him here against his will help him? Nate didn't think so but letting him go made him feel like a failure. Maybe it was time to let him go.

   "You can leave with me and go to the store, or you can walk back to the Elite. I'm not going in today, so I dont plan on going there or they will find something for me to do. It's your choice though Garret. I can't hold you here if you don't want to be here. You'll always be a fish out of water, but at least here you have a little bit of water to catch your breath in."

Not saying anything else Nate turned and head to the kitchen to wait a few moments just to see what Garret would do. If he wanted to go back, he could, he'd make it ok, but Nate couldn't force him to stay, not anymore.

Pulling her Wong tong apart Katie was enjoying the meal. It was quiet and she didn't mind that her mind was still processing and spinning as she works through things. Having realized Jason had said something to her Katie looked up at him and gave a small smile. She didn't really know how she was but she new she would be ok.

    "I will be, promise. Just a lot floating around up here at the moment."

Katie pointed at her head before poping the rest of her Wong tong in her mouth. Falling silent again while she chewed Katie studied Jason for a long moment. It was nice to be sitting here even if it was work. He was always such good company. 

   "Enough about me, how are you feeling? Besides the shot in your leg that is. "

Katie wondered if Jason would open up to her. They hadnt talked much and she did wondered how he was. Yesterday he seemed tired, today  all things considered he looked ok, but she still wondered.

Smiling at Travis as he walked away Angel layed a hand on Lane's arm and smiled up at him. She really was happy to have helped and been there for Travis. It meant a lot to her and for now Travis 's secret was safe with her.

   "You are welcome Lane. I was happy I could help. I'm pretty sure he will be around for a while. He's a good kid. You did a good job doing the best you could."
