A/N The ending of this chapter has changed because i didn't like the way theending was leading the story. Because of this there is no longer the man in the bushes.
The next morning the team packed themselves into Matt's car and started the long journey up to the cabin. Matt was busy trying to navigate his way through the peek hour traffic, Emily had fallen asleep in the front seat which had started a wave of remarks from Frank about her and Matt's lack of sleep, Cheryl had busied herself with some last minute paperwork and Duff and Lia had started a rather noisy game of snap in the back seat.
"Snap, I win" yelled Duff triumphantly.
"Na" said Lia "my hand so got under yours"
"In your dreams Mather's" replied Duff.
"Fine then" said Lia taking a hold of Duff's hand.
"You going to give me my hand back?" he asked
"Nope, if you can't play nicely than you can't play at all" said Lia.
"You guys mind keeping it down a bit, Emily's trying to sleep" said Matt.
"You know she wouldn't have that problem if you guy's had actually gotten some sleep last night in stead of…"
"Frank" said Cheryl cutting him off from any further comments.
"All I'm saying is it would have been better for both of them if they'd actually slept. I mean are you sure you're awake enough to be driving Flannery? asked a grinning Frank.
Matt turned around to let fly some of his thoughts on the subject but instead of doing so only managed to drift over the lines.
"Matt, watch the road" yelled Lia gripping Duff's hand harder.
"Sorry" Matt apologised swerving the car back onto the road.
"What the hell?" asked Emily waking up.
"Uh, sorry Em. I got a bit side tracked and wasn't watching the road properly" Matt apologised yet again turning to smile at his partner.
Emily returned his smile.
"Oh, brother" said Frank sarcastically.
"You're just jealous because you're missing out on spending the weekend alone with Aileen" said Emily turning around to look at Frank.
"No" said Frank, starting up another argument between him and Matt and Emily.
"Lia" yelled Duff "Could you pleases let go of my hand" he complained.
"Nup, you have to learn to be nice to me" she replied causing Duff to complain even louder.
Oh boy thought Cheryl It's going to be a long week.
After four long hours in the car Matt finally pulled up outside the cabin that would be their home for the next week.
"Okay everyone" yelled Cheryl getting everyone's attention "As you know we have to spend the week together so because of that we will be sharing rooms"
"Oh man" complained Frank, Duff and Lia. Matt and Emily just smiled at each other.
"Anyways, there are three rooms. Because I am the boss I get the room with one double bed. Emily and Lia you will be sharing one room and Frank and Duff you will be sharing the other"
"What about me?" asked Matt starting to panic. It was bad enough that he wouldn't be able to share a room with Emily but he could live with that. On the other hand not having a bed was sounding a lot worse.
"I here the lounge is very comfortable" said Cheryl walking past him up the stairs.
"Oh, come on" complained Matt.
"Sorry, man" said Duff walking past him.
"Don't worry" said Frank grinning at Matt "I'm sure Lehman will let you share her bed"
Emily just smiled at Matt.
"Oh, poor Matt" she said teasing him affectionately "Come on, if you help me take these bags up and I might consider Franks idea"
"Really?" asked Matt hopefully following her up the steps to the front of the door.
"Only if you're good" she said kissing him.
"Cheryl!" yelled Frank "They're kissing again" he complained.
"It's going to be a long week" said Emily leaning against Matt's chest "Isn't it"
"Yep" he replied laughing.
