One year. It had been one year since it all happened.

Jake came to the BPRD, John had turned, Professor Broom had died, Liz had finally decided to be with Hellboy.

It had been one long, long year ago.

Not much had changed besides those few things.

"Catch it Red!"

"Well throw it right!"

"I am! Your not moving back!"

"Whatever throw the ball!"

Silence

"CATCH IT!"

CRASH!!

"…RUN!"

Hellboy and Jake were still best friends. But recently they had decided go to the park at night to play football.

That had obviously gone badly tonight.

"Damn kids!" An elderly man shouted from his broken window.

Hellboy and Jake laughed as they ran full speed back to the Bureau.

"You what!?"

"Liz you don't have to shout." HB tried.

"Apparently I do! What were you thinking?" Liz snapped.

"That it'd be fun to throw a football around." Jake spoke up.

"And what about that window?"

"If Jake hadn't thrown it so hard that wouldn't have happened!"

"Me! Your like a foot and a half taller than me. If you had jumped you'd have caught it!"

Hellboy and Jake glared at each other.

"I don't care. You to were laughing when you got back…what for?"

Jake picked at his nails. "'Cause it was funny."

Liz glared daggers at him.

Jake shrank back. "Sorry."

"Get out of my sight!" His only warning. He took it.

Jake gave Hellboy an apologetic look before bolting out of the room.

"Liz,"

"I don't want to hear it. Go get a shower and get in bed." Liz commanded.

Hellboy's shoulders slumped as he stood from the bed and went to the bathroom.

"Men are so stupid sometimes." Liz whispered as she slipped under the covers.

"It's just a broken window. No big deal."

Hellboy was heading down to the shooting range, talking to Manning.

"No…no big deal? Someone could have seen you."

"But no one did. I don't see a problem."

"Of course you don't. I sent Trent down to that mans house. He paid him in cash for the window."

"Then everything is fine." Hellboy placed a cigar in his mouth. "Bye bye." He waved Manning off before walking down the stairs.

Manning heaved a sigh. "To much trouble. To much." He walked off.

"CATCH IT!!"

CRASH!!

Hellboy and Jake exchanged looks. "Run." They nodded and ran off.
