"He`s not gonna do it!"
"I don`t know. They look pretty chummie."
"Please! Its too soon."
"Too soon?"
After Carter! I mean come on "Just Friends" my ass! That idiot nearly killed himself over her."
"What? A guy can`t move on? Find love again? Besides, She looks like a nice lady."
"He`s not gonna do it!"
The subject of Fusco and Shaw`s conversation was talking cheerfully (or as cheerfully as Mr. Happy could ever get) with a pretty blonde. Then Reese leaned down and gave the blonde a chaste kiss. If it wasn`t for the fear of losing his life or more important parts of his anatomy , Fusco would have been howling at Shaw`s stun expression. Eyes still wide and still looking at the impossible , Shaw handed the money over to Fusco. No words were said as she walked away in a daze.
Once Shaw was out of sight Fusco let loose a "shit-eating" grin and made his way over to Reese and Holly. "Two hundred for Wonderboy and Two Hundred for the pretty lady."
"Not keeping any for yourself Lional?"
"Ha ha. Seeing Lady Rambo stun speechless was reward enough. Thanks for playing along Holly."
"Two-hundred dollars richer, and a kiss from a handsome man. I`d call it a win-win."
Did Fusco detect a blush from Mr. Happy?
Once their goodbyes were said and done Reese`s cheerful act disappeared. Fusco placed a hesitant hand on Reese`s shoulder. "I miss her too man. Whatta say we put that money to good use and go visit an old friend?"
Reese turned his head towards Fusco and nodded. Walking side by side the unlikely pair made their way through the streets in silence.
