Disclaimer: None of the DAT characters belong to me, no duh. I borrowed Tessa from Lily, and Parker is all mine.

A/N: All right, so this is my first long story, and I decided to stray away a little from the usual Sam and Laura fluffies, sorry, please don't kill me. I just wanted to try something different, so this story is based more on some other characters, and what's up with them. There are still Sam and Laura stuff though, just not as much, so I hope you guys enjoy it. Please review, and be honest. So this story is dedicated to my best friend Jackie who made me sit down, and write it. So thanks a ton! Love Ya!

Chapter 1

Sam Hall tried to focus on what was right in front of him, but that was hard to do when you had someone staring at you from upside position. "Just forget about her," Sam thought to himself, and tried to turn his attention back to his girlfriend Laura, who was all but throwing herself at him. As much as he wanted to enjoy the make-out session that was currently in place, he could still feel Parker's big blue eyes, so much like his own, piecing into the back of his skull. Finally enough was enough. "Do you think you could do that somewhere else?" Sam asked his older half-sister. Parker let out a sigh, and pulled herself out of the bizarre yoga pose that she had been situated in.

"Why don't you go somewhere else?" She replied, with a tone that was far too bratty for her age, "Like maybe um... your own house." Sam sighed, knowing that full well that at home he would be greeted by both of his parents, as well as his newly adopted brother, Peter. Privacy was something precious that was rarely found at the over crowded Hall household. At least at Parker's he could escape most of his out-of-control family, and if he were lucky, Parker would be out on some escapade of her own. Sam's eyes met Parker's and for a moment it was like looking into a mirror. They both had their father's eyes, the one thing that made them appear to be related.

"Parker, I think you that you would know enough that parents aren't necessarily a turn on," Sam retorted. "Besides normal siblings would at least be decent enough to help their little brother out once in a while. I just don't understand why you are so selfish."

Parker gave Sam a look that could freeze hell, "You think you are so great cause you're dad's real kid." Her tone was icy, and Sam could tell he hit a nerve with his last comment.

"Oh, don't even play that card," Sam mumbled, "You know damn well that's not how it is."

"Whatever, "she replied exasperated, "I'm going to shower and change, I'm meeting dad for lunch anyway." Sam gave Parker a smile that melted her heart, and for a moment their previous disagreement seemed to vanish. Ever since Parker had moved to Washington three years ago, no one ever assumed they were siblings. When they opened their mouths, there was no denying it. No one would ever believe they had only met each other a few years earlier; they fought like brother and sister.

Once Laura had heard the shower turn on, she gave Sam a smack on the arm. "You know, Sam, you really should treat Parker better," she scolded confusing Sam greatly. One minute they had been hot and heavy on the sofa, and the next she was yelling at him. "You just know what you have until it's gone, Sam," she continued, "Imagine how you would feel never seeing her again." The last part was added in almost a whisper, and Sam noticed a tear slipping down Laura's cheek. Sam new instantly what had set Laura off.

"O honey," he sighed taking her face into his hands, "I know you miss Tessa. I can't imagine what this has been like for you." Laura looked up, her huge brown eyes filled with tears.

Sam knew that Laura had never had a great relationship with her sister, but her sudden death a few months ago had hit her hard. Laura's father had left years ago, and her and her mother had never been close. Since the move to Mexico, the Hall's had pretty much adopted Laura.

Laura allowed a few more tears to escape and roll down her face, and Sam gently kissed each one away. Laura gave him a meek smile, and kissed him lightly on the mouth.

"Just remember not to take her for granted Sam," she whispered, but to Sam it was loud and clear.

Jason Evans was more than glad Jack Hall had finally let him go home. For the past 8 hours they had been busy tracking a storm that could become a possible hurricane. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, Jack dismissed the storm as being any major threat, and least for now. The prospect of sleep crept eagerly into his mind, but the thought of once again returning to his empty apartment was depressing. Jason pulled himself out of thought long enough to step out of the elevator, and was utterly pleased that he did so. Looking up he noticed her walking in to the building, hair still dripping from the rain. "It's her," Jason thought to himself, carefully studying the girl. Jason had seen her several times before always at the NOAA, but he had never had the courage to say anything. Praying for an opportunity for them to meet to present itself, he was shocked to see her heading for a slick spot on the marble floor.

The blonde seemed unaware of the potential hazard, and stepped right into the rain spot that had formed on the floor. Within seconds her foot slipped out from under her, and she began to tumble backward. Jason dashed in her direction catching her only seconds before she crashed to the ground.

"Thanks," she breathed, and let a nervous giggle escape her mouth. "I'm such a klutz."

"No problem," Jason replied nervously. "Its part of my job," he added, and then wished he could take it back, knowing how lame he sounded.

"So you make it a point to save every girl," she replied, "too bad I thought I was special."

"Well, not every girl." He replied, and tried to stop himself from making a bigger fool of himself. "The name's Jason Evans by the way."

"Well Jason Evans," she said her eyes, which seemed hauntingly familiar, meeting his, "You wanna let me stand up now."

Jason blushed slightly, and helped her to her feet. "So I didn't catch your name?" he said attempting to be suave in some way or another.

The girl offered him a smile, "I didn't offer it," she replied, and Jason's face fell. She giggled again, "I'm just kidding," she told him touching his shoulder, "My name is Parker, Parker..." Her voice faded off, and her gaze turned toward the elevator. "Daddy!" she squealed and jogged toward the elevator.

"That's why she's always here," Jason thought, and turned to see who she was greeting. He stopped short when he saw her wrapping her arms around Jack's shoulders. Jack and Parker headed over toward him.

"Jason, have you met my daughter, Parker?" he said, gesturing to the girl.

"Actually, we were just talking," Parker informed Jack. Turning back to Jason she added, "You didn't tell me you worked with my Dad."

"I didn't realize who were," he mumbled, "or else I wouldn't have tried to pick you up," he added silently to himself.

Jack turned toward his daughter, "Honey," he began, "I'm really sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make lunch today, something has come up." Parker looked genuinely upset, but tried to hide it.

"It's fine daddy," she lied, "I'll come over for dinner tonight, alright?" She offered him a phony smile, and kissed his cheek.

"Alright see you then," he told her, and headed back up the elevator. Once Jack was safely inside, Parker looked over at Jason. "So you wanna take a girl to lunch?" Jason debated it with himself, which wasn't even a hard decision. Lunch with a hot girl, or home for left over pizza, and falling asleep in front of the T.V. The former sounded about a hundred times more appealing, even if she was the boss's daughter.

Laura Chapman lay with her feet over the back of the sofa, and let her head dangle over the side. "I'm bored," she sighed to Sam, and continued to swing her feet against the back of the sofa. Sam looked over from where he was sprawled out of the other side of Parker's wrap around sofa. "So what do you wanna do," he asked eying his girlfriend.

'I don't know," Laura whined uncharacteristically, "You think of something Sam."

Sam sighed, hating having to decide what to do. "You wanna make-out," he offered, knowing that was something that he enjoyed.

"Not really," Laura replied, and stared at him hopefully with her brown eyes, pleading for something else.

"How about video games," he tried again hoping Laura would be up for a little competition. Again Laura wrinkled her nose, and Sam felt like he was getting nowhere. "Baby," he told her, "I don't know what to do."

Suddenly Laura's eyes lit up, and she rolled backward of the couch narrowly missing the coffee table. She began to rummage through one of the drawers in the entertainment center, and finally retrieved the beat up box containing Twister. "Twister!" Laura proclaimed holding up the box.

Sam looked at his girlfriend quizzically, "You wanna play Twister?" Instantly Sam flashed back to the time when at his ninth birthday, he wanted to play Twister, but all the other kids, including Brian wanted to play Mortal Kombat. In the end Sam wound up playing alone in the corner. However, here he was with the most beautiful girl, who wanted to play the world's most sexual children game.

"Yeah," she replied," So you gonna play with me?"

'Uhuh," Sam answered nodding vigorously.

"Good!" Laura said cheerily, and began to spread out the plastic mat. "Alright," Laura added spinning the cardboard wheel, "Right foot green." Sam watched as Laura placed her foot on a green spot, and he followed her example.

"Now left hand yellow," Laura called out, and bent over toward the yellow dot. Sam tried to find a comfortable position to lean into but balancing on one hand and one foot was not his idea of fun.

"Laura," he mumbled trying to keep his balance.

Laura looked up only to reply with, "Right hand blue!" Sam thought that maybe with both hands on the mat, he could regain his balance, however his hands were now placed in an even more awkward position then before. Laura kicked the spinner with her foot, and Sam prayed with all his heart that she would call out "left foot green." No such luck.

"Right hand red!" Laura replied and started to reach for a red spot. Sam looked nervously and attempted to move his hand across the board without falling on his face. Within seconds, Sam's bare foot began to slide, and his arm gave in to his weight. Sam tumbled forward knocking Laura over, and tumbling on top of her.

"Uh," Sam grunted as he and Laura hit the ground knocking the air out of his lungs.

Laura looked at Sam with wide eyes from her position on the floor, "You know what Sam? You're really bad at this."

Sam meet her eyes and smiled, "Well how about something I am good at?" Laura smiled and leaned up and kissed him on the mouth wrapping her arms around his neck. Sam broke the kiss, and gazed at Laura for a moment, then pulling the Twister mat over his back, leaned back down to Laura, perfectly content to stay wrapped with her all day.

Parker pulled her silver hybrid car into the driveway of her father's house, and glanced over at the guy she had meet earlier that day. She wasn't sure what it was about him, but there was something special that made her want to spend more and more time with him. Jason looked confused by her choice of location.

"What are we doing here?" he asked.

She gave him a huge smile. "You wanna come in," she asked, and nervously played with her hair, "I mean no ones going to be home for awhile, I could use some company. If you don't mind."

"Of course I don't mind," Jason told her, stepping out of the car, and heading up to the house.

Once inside Parker headed toward the backdoor that lead out to the patio.

"Where are you headed?" Jason asked puzzled as to why she wanted to go outside while it was clearly still raining.

Parker gave him a seductive smile, "Follow me, and find out." She headed out toward the pool, and no sooner had Jason stepped out of the house, she looped her fingers under her tank top and pulled it over her head. Jason stopped in his tracks, in complete disbelief of what was happening. Before another word could escape his mouth, she had undone her jeans and dove into the water.

"You getting in?" she called once she broke the surface, "I love swimming it the rain."

Jason just stared, his mind playing the possible scenarios of Jack coming home to find him naked in the pool with his daughter. Parker splashed at him from the pool, knocking him out of his trance. "Come on," she beckoned, "don't be shy." Without further hesitation Jason quickly stripped down, and after Parker's approving once-over, plunged into the water.

"See, it's nice isn't it?" Parker remarked, and Jason couldn't deny that being naked with a girl was always nice, even if you were in your boss's pool with his daughter.

"Do you do this with every guy you meet?" Jason wondered aloud. Parker swam over to him, and pulled her arms around his neck.

"Only the one's I like," she replied with a smile, and kissed him hard on the mouth. Jason returned to the kiss, and wrapped his arms around her bare back, loving the way her skin felt against his. He found it hard to believe that he had only met her hours ago.

The slamming of a car door interrupted them, and Parker pulled back, knowing full well who it was. Within seconds her saw her father's face through the picture window that looked out the pool. With out even thinking she pushed Jason's head under the water, just seconds before the back door opened.

'Hi Daddy," she beamed, praying that he wouldn't notice the two sets of clothes thrown on the lounge chair, "You're home early."

"Yeah, well I felt bad about lunch, so I thought that I would come home early, and we could order Chinese," Jack informed his daughter.

"O well that's sounds great Dad," she tried to choke out, but began to giggle felling Jason's hand tickling her leg. She kicked at him unsuccessfully, and he continued to work his way up her leg, making her laugh slightly more.

Jack studied his daughter, trying to figure out the sudden laughing fit. "What's so funny, hon?" he asked giving her a skeptical look.

Parker shook her head vigorously, "Nothing, why don't you go inside and get cleaned up, and I'll be in in a few. I'm just finished with my swim."

"Ok," Jack said, still not quite sure what was going on, and head back in to the house, missing the clothes once again.

Once the door had clicked shut, Jason broke the surface of the water with a sly grin on his face. "Good Lord woman, where you trying to kill me?"

"No," Parker said flatly, "but if my dad had seen you he would have. What was with making me laugh, you almost blew your cover."

Jason shook his head and pinned her to the wall of the pool. "You know, Parker Hall, you are a truly fascinating girl. A little strange, but still fascinating."

"I know, I am," she replied kissing him, "It's part of my charm."
