like everyone else.
 Yeah? Well, I heard you like sucking cock on
stakeouts. Isn t that how you got your partner killed?
Josh sucked in a breath and balled his fists. He came
barreling around the corner, the rage evident on his face.
 Back the fuck off of him now. Josh snarled. The faces
on the two other agents went ashen.  I think you both
know the circumstances of Keegan s partners death. I
don t think either one of you would ve survived what
Keegan endured. I suggest you take your little asses out
my face before I break them both. They both mumbled
as they turned to walk away and Josh cocked an
eyebrow.  Excuse me? I didn t quite hear you.
 It s nothing, Montgomery. Smith looked at Keegan.
 Sorry man.
 Yeah, you will be, if I catch you giving him shit again.
I ll make sure Mateo, Sam and Troy know as well. Josh
smiled wickedly.  First and last my friends.
Keegan watched Smith and his partner hurry down the
hall; glancing back to make sure Josh wasn t following
them. He smiled and looked up at Josh.
 You didn t have to do that.
 Yeah, I did. Josh smiled looking down at Keegan.
 How are you? Josh found out what happened to Ripley
a while ago from James. Five years ago, Ripley and his
partner Spence, were on a stake out when they were
both kidnapped from the car. Ripley was privy to
information that the kidnappers wanted. They tortured
him endlessly, and when Ripley wouldn t talk, they shot
his partner. The kidnapper was a notorious child killer
and had many enemies. Ripley knew where all the kids of
said enemies were kept. They d finally found Keegan,
half dead, and the kidnappers had gotten away.
 I m good, Keegan smiled.  You don t look so good
though.
 I m alright. Josh smiled.  Just here to see James.
Look, if you need anything, or if anyone ever bothers
you, you tell me or one of the guys okay?
 You re sweet, Josh. Keegan smiled up at him.  I m a
big boy. I can take care of myself.
 I know, but still. Josh sighed.  Take care of yourself
okay? It was good to see you again. Josh gave Keegan
a quick hug and walked towards James office. He heard
talking behind the door and knocked once. Opening the
door, he got a  one minute finger from James at the
desk. He sat in the corner of the room and folded his
hands in his lap.
James hung up the phone and looked at Josh in the
corner.
 Did you do something bad? James arched a brow.
 No, why? Josh sat back and sighed.
 You re sitting in the corner like you re being punished.
James chuckled softly. James watched Josh sitting in the
corner wringing his hands, something was up. He waited
for Josh to come forward with whatever was bugging him.
After a few minutes, James was getting the idea Josh
didn t know where to start. He squinted his eyes, looking
at Josh.
 What are you doing? Josh sat forward.
 I m trying to read your mind, since you re not offering
me anything.
 Well?
 There s nothing in there to read. James chuckled.
 Asshole. Josh sighed and dropped his head.
James narrowed his eyes.  This is about Mark
Patterson, isn t it? James smiled when Josh s head
sprang up in surprise.  Yep, it is, I knew it. I saw how you
were looking at him in the hospital.
 I& I kissed him. Josh confessed, blushing furiously.
James tried to contain his surprise. Josh was gay?
Well shit and fuck.  And so now what, are you are having
a moment of confusion? Do you have feelings for him?
 Yes, no, I think so. Josh sighed in frustration.  I need
a fucking vacation to sort all this out, James.
The door slammed open and hit the wall, bouncing
back. Derek entered the room and put his hands on
James desk, leaning over it.
 Where the fuck were you? Derek almost shouted.
James sat back in his chair and crossed his arms.
 You ll have to be more specific.
 Don t fucking play with me James, you weren t at the
meeting! Are you fucking avoiding me now?
 Now why would I do that, General? James sat
forward putting his hands on the desk.
 Because you want more from me and I m not there
yet. Derek sighed in frustration and ran his hands over
his face.  I get it okay? I m a bastard. I look forward to
these meetings. I have to go back to Afghanistan at the
end of the month and I wanted to see you before I left.
 Well, you re here now. James smiled.
 Was that your plan? To not be at the meeting so I d
come find you? Well it worked, didn t it? Derek threw his
hands up in the air.  What do you want, James? You
want to go out for drinks, talk maybe?
 Um, James pointed behind Derek.  I have plans
already.
Derek turned to see the amused look on Josh s face.
 Oh shit. He whispered. Then it clicked. Plans? The [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
