Part 1

"Hello Toby," Sam walked in with a grin on his face. "It's a lovely day, isn't it?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Toby glanced over.

"Nothing, I'm just enjoying this terrific day. It's just beautiful outside."

"Its snowing Sam," Toby dead-panned.

"I realize that Tobus. I was just commenting on the scenery."

"Do I want to know what this is about?" Toby looked down at his computer.

"Maybe," Sam couldn't stop smiling.

"You went out with Andi last night, didn't you?" Toby smirked.

"Well, yes I did Toby," Sam sat down on his couch. "How did you guess?"

"I'm not sure," Toby said sarcastically. "Maybe it was the fact you are acting like a fruit this morning."

"A fruit you say?"

"Sam, you're getting on my last nerve boy," Toby glared over at the younger man.

"Do you remember your first time with her…"

"Okay, I'm going to stop you right here," Toby stood up and walked over to Sam. He bent down and grabbed him by the tie and pulled him up.

"What are you doing?"

"Out!" Toby said while shoving Sam out the door. "Come back when you don't want to talk about your sex life."

"But, I thought you cared," Sam grinned.

"Goodbye," Toby glared at him as he shut the door. "He drives me crazy," He said as he walked back to his desk. Then someone knocked on his door. "Whoever it is, go away." Toby shouted.

"Now, that's no way to treat someone," Josh walked in with a smile.

"Did I say you could come in?"

"Well, no. I took the initiative," Josh grinned and sat down. "I need to talk."

"Then call your therapist."

"I was thinking about our relationship Toby."

"What relationship?" Toby asked while writing.

"Well, we have a bond between us. I see it. Think about it."

"Okay," Toby looked up and concentrated for a short moment. "Done. Go away now."

"See Toby. You don't take the time to enjoy life."

"Go away," Toby pleaded.

"You found me when I was shot," Josh mentioned. This got Toby's attention quickly. Josh knew the shooting was a tender subject for Toby.

"Josh, we talked about this already…"

"I know, but I don't feel like I've paid you back."

"Well, if I'm ever shot, I'll give you a buzz and you can come save me," Toby joked and went back to work. "Go away."

"What is the one thing you want from life?" Josh asked.

"Honestly?" Toby looked up.

"Yeah, whatever it is. I'll do anything to make sure it happens," Josh smiled.

"Okay," Toby rubbed his chin and thought a moment. "I got it."

"What?" Josh asked.

"All I want in life is for you to go away," Toby said slowly. He smirked as he saw Josh's smile turn into a frown.

"You're a pain," Josh stood and walked out.

"Yeah, I know," Toby smiled.

"Hey you." CJ walked in. "What's wrong?"

"No one is leaving me alone today," Toby glanced over at her.

"Should I take that as a hint?" CJ asked sternly.

"Well, I don't mind being visited by you," Toby smiled. "What's up?"

"Do you have any idea why Sam's going around singing the song, 'Can you feel the love tonight'?" CJ asked.

"He got some last night, I guess," Toby gave up and went back to writing.

"With Andi?"

"Unless he's got a new girlfriend."

"You don't mind that he's dating Andi?"

"Why would I mind? She's my ex-wife. Sam is a single man. Why would I mind?" Toby said.

"Because she's your ex-wife and Sam's dating her," CJ smiled.

"I'm fine with it. Besides, what makes you think I'm not dating anyone?"

"Because I know you're not dating anyone," CJ laughed.

"I could if I wanted to," Toby defended.

"Yeah," CJ smiled.

"You don't believe me?"

"I didn't say that…"

"Okay. I'll show you. I'll get me a date," Toby nodded with a smile.

"Sure you will. Look, I have a briefing," CJ laughed and went toward the door.

"Don't underestimate me Claudia. I'm a powerful man," Toby grinned as CJ walked out with a smile on her face.
