The Barnes

Hearing Garret's voice Maggie sits up and gives a small smile. She wondered if Garret would remember when they had talked about yesterday. She new he had been tired, and out of it.

   "A promise is a promise, so as long as you keep your end, I have too."

Reaching out and feeling the cloth once more Maggie takes it off Garret before getting another one and replacing. Before putting it on him again though she takes note to all his scars. She couldn't help but wonder about them all, and why someone would hurt him so. It didn't make sense to her, and it made her a little sad.

   "What happened that you have all these? Did someone hurt you?"

Putting the cloth back on his she looked at him with serous eyes. She new so little about him, but cared so much. She was so important to him without even hardly knowing it. Her the wheels in her head turned searching his face.

Hearing the commotion from Barne's office Adison could only guess things were not going well with Kirk in there and she felt so bad. He'd tried, he really had and he had done his best. That's all anyone could ask for  but sometimes that wasn't even enough for the boss.

Getting to the water cooler and tapping the side of the jug Adison didn't answer Kirk's question right away. He new her to well for her to hide anything from him, at the same time though she didn't want him to feel bad for what was going on. She had her own free will, and it had been her own fault those papers hadn't been signed. She should of been paying more mind to her work.

Finally letting out a sign though and giving a quick glance around to make sure no one was in ear shot she she spills it all. She can't help the tone of anger in her voice, not for Kirk, but for Tod.

   "I forgot to sign some important papers yesterday, and Tod blacked mailed me to go on a date with him tonight and he wont tell the boss about them. I agreed because if I didn't and Barne's questioned me it would lead back to you and you'd get in trouble for having me help with your case."

Stopping to take a breath she lets it out and takes another sip of water before throwing the cup in the trash can. This whole thing with Tod really was bothering her more than it should. She should just deal with it, go on the date and be done with it. But for some reason it did bother her and she felt like Tod was going to get the wrong impression or something.

   "I just need to suck it up and get it done and over with, but its really bothering me. "

Looking to Kirk again she was sorry she was rambling when he had his own problems that were probley far worse than her own.

   "So what were you and The Barnes yelling about? Seemed heated."

Looking up from her desk Angel smiled at Travis. Seeing his look she new something was up and she could guess it had something to do with the conversation he had earlier with his dad. She felt bad for both people involved. But she would always listen with open ear, and offer any advice she could.

   "Of course you can. What's going on?"
