So my shipping mind is tired and I'm getting some weird demons out. Enjoy. As always if you have any good ideas as to what I should write next PM me. Criticism that is constructive is always appreciated.

"We always think we'll be in the same place forever, don't we Kurt? Solving crimes, stuck in a state of wonder about the people who commit crime, then we go home to our families. What's left of ours anyway?" said Ann-Britt she took another sip of her beer. "We never stay the same Kurt. I'm not the same either but you seem determined to stay the same." Kurt looked off into space. "I want to change, I suppose, I never get around to it, though, maybe for a bit I was different, maybe I was better with Vanja and them I go and mess it all up. I keep mucking things up Ann I don't know why though."

"When I was shot you protected me with your body. When the famer tried to attack us you protected us. You were different all those times. Everyone's different when they need to protect something Kurt. You have something to protect I do too. Martinsson, Nyberg, Lisa, and Svedberg they all had something to protect. That's why we keep going, we can't keep up otherwise. I know we want to disappear most of the time, but we can't, not unless we're really determined. We can't disappear because there are people who need us Kurt. Everyone has a cause to protect, everyone has a thing. Our thing is people. You protect people, people protect you. People love you, Kurt. We love you, Vanja loves you, I love you, and Linda loves you." At the mention of Linda's name Kurt looked at Ann-Britt. 'Why doesn't she talk to me anymore then?" "She's young Kurt! Everyone does painful things to their parents when they're young. We're just trying to get a petty sort of revenge on our parents." "Maybe she has a good reason, though, her granddad that was my fault. They were close she's got reason to grieve, to be mad at me." "No one can stay mad forever Kurt. Do you want me to talk to her?" "No maybe that's best please talk to her."
