She could sense his presence the minute she walked through the door. She
could feel him, any where. Part of him had stuck with her all these years.
She slowly, quietly closed her apartment door behind her. Trying not to make a sound, she skulked towards her so called "TV" room, which didn't even have a TV in it.
Before she could investigate another room, to see if he was there, he pounced. Like a lion to his prey. He threw her on her torn leather couch, pinning her to the rough fabric, smiling.
"Surprised to see me?" She glared at him through squinted eyes, still getting used to the dark apartment she had entered recently.
"How the heck did you find me?" He gave her one of his one sided grins.
"Have you forgotten? I have more connections than the LA phone book." She struggled, trying to get rid of his grip, but he had used what she had taught him so many years ago. The death grip pin, a classic.
"What do you want?" She asked, starting to feel long forgotten tears of the past trickle down her cheek.
"I think it's kind of obvious." With a smile, he slowly tilted his head and kissed her. She turned shook her head, tossing his away from hers.
"I told you, it's over. It's never going to happen again." He stood up, depressed expression.
"No, Dylan. It'll happen again, be sure of it."

"Good Morning Charlie." Natalie greeted Charlie, alone in the office and curious as to where her fellow angels could be. Not even Bosley had arrived on schedule, and he was never late.
Natalie was never tardy for anything in her life. She loved getting there early, she didn't want to miss a thing.
"Good Morning Natalie. Alone this morning?" Natalie smiled as she rested her boots in the coffee table in front of her.
"Yeah Charlie, I guess I'm going solo today. Do you happen to know where every body is?" Natalie asked, hoping to get some answers. Natalie hated not knowing where her friends were. Natalie was the curious type. She all ways wanted to know what, where, and why things were going on.
"Well I let Bosley take a couple of days off to spend time with his family. Alex had a date with Jason last night, so don't expect her to get here any time soon, and I have no idea where Dylan is." Natalie shrugged.
"I'm going to go check out her apartment, see if she's alright." Natalie started to get up from the couch and walk towards the door, but Charlie stopped her.
"Oh Natalie. I need a favor." Natalie stopped at the door, right hand on the door knob.
"Max is coming home from his summer camp this afternoon and Bosley asked me to ask one of you ladies to pick him up at the airport." Natalie nodded with a smile, knowing Charlie still couldn't see her.
"Ok. Let me guess, the camp had something to do with dirt bikes?" She heard Charlie chuckle.
"You guessed it."

Natalie pulled up at Dylan's apartment building's parking lot. She climbed up the stairs to her apartment, knocking on the door three times, she tapped the bottom of her shoe impatiently.
No one answered.
Natalie took the silence as a invitation to investigate.
To her surprise, the door was unlocked. Natalie slowly made her way inside.
"Dylan? Dylan, are you here?" No reply.
Natalie looked in the kitchen, the TV room, then finally the bedroom. No Dylan.
"Maybe she's just taking a drive." Natalie sprinted to the door, looked over the three story rail and was not very surprised to see Dylan's car still parked in the parking lot.
"I got to talk to Alex."
*****
"Alex? It's Natalie. Open up!" Natalie banged on the door to Alex's beautiful house, exotic plants and statues surrounding it.
The door finally opened and Alex came running out, wearing one red high heel and holding the other.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Natalie took her hand and wiped off the lipstick smudge on Alex's cheek.
"I see you and Jason had fun last night." Alex gave an embarrassed smile as the two started heading for Natalie's car.
"The reason I came here was to see if you knew where Dylan is." Alex gave her a concerned look.
"What? Is she missing again? The last she ran was the whole Shamus thing." Natalie started up her red convertible.
"I know. We have to find her."
