Monster

I cried. Not just a few tears, I mean all out sobbing. Something I hadn't done in over three hundred years.

"Hey kid." Hellboy's voice came. I ignored him, but tried to calm down and whip a few tears out of my eyes. "Abe's a sleep, Liz put a few washcloths on him so he wont dry out."

Still I said nothing, as he sat next to me, I just kept my face buried in my lap.

"He might not be here if it hadn't been for you." He continued. That finally prompting a response from me.

"If it hadn't been for me," I said with contempt. "He never would have been shot in the first place."

Hellboy put his left hand on my shoulder. "Look, I'm sure you know about the Princess, right?" He queried. I nodded and he continued. "After he lost her, he was lost. I'd never seen him so depressed. He wouldn't talk to us, he just stayed locked in his room listening to rock music. Now for a guy that normal only listens to classical crap that's a bad change." I still stayed silent.

Hellboy sighed. "I'll tell you something he probably doesn't want me to tell you, so don't go telling him I told you," He said, pausing briefly before starting again. "Before we left the Bureau and moved here, Abe got reckless and went on one last mission." Now this intrigued me. I looked up into his face.

I noticed there were a few lines like scars across it. His deep set golden eyes were solid yet full of life, love and determination. The thought crossed my mind, how could I possibly ever hurt him. How could he possibly ever destroy the world when he was so much to live for.

He continued. "It was a place somewhere in Michigan. Some weird church, easy right. But Abe rushed into things. Something that he wouldn't have done before. And it," He stopped. "It got him killed."

My eyes went wide. "What?..."

"He got speared through the chest by the guy at the church. He was pronounced dead, Johann was there,"

Johann what had happened to him I wondered. Kate had mentioned him, he was German I knew, and a medium, but that's all I heard.

"But he just woke up, like he'd passed out and just came to," Hellboy finished. "He's never been the same since. He took off to Rhode Island a few weeks ago, been locked in his room since, barely eats, sneaks out to the bars." He turned to gaze at me again. "But now that your here he seems better. Abe never would have gone out like that before-"

"That's the point, and it was because of me that-"

"The Pro's outweigh the con's here, kid." He said across me. "All I know is that he's alive, and you where the one who saved him. Thank you."

My soul and conscious felt even heavier. The burden of the mission I'd been sent here to preform felt like a lead brick in my chest.

He stood up. "As far as I'm concerned, Kid," He said. "Your part of the Family now."

I smiled weakly, now I really felt like dying.

The next day Abe was awake and able to walk sort of. He'd fixed my nose again so now a neat new bandage adorned my face.

"You have nothing to feel sorry for." He reassured me for the sixtieth time. "I'm alright."

I glowered. "You were a second from death you Genius."

"And you saved my life." He said. "Very nice work by the way."

"I've only ever done it on myself before, and that was using a knife, whiskey and a lighter." I held up my forearm and pulled back the sleeve to show the deep scar forever imprinted on it.

He frowned. "Your safe here."

I laughed bitterly. "And your not."

Taking me hand he looked at me, I tried to look away but he grabbed my face with his other hand and made me look at him.
"Do not blame yourself for what happened to me," He said sternly. "It was unpredictable."

I pulled away. "Yeah, do you really believe that?" I shot. "Do you blame your self for what happened to Nuala?"

His eyes widened and he looked hurt. "I-"

"Don't answer that," I groaned. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have-"

"I did." He answered anyway. "But you know what you can do for me?"

I studied him. "What?"

"Take my mind off it. Give me a reason to forget."

Ok I was confused. "What? You want me to sleep with you?"

Now he just looked stuck between shocked and fright. "Heavens no!" He said quickly. "I mean keep me occupied." He explained.

"Lets go out to dinner and-"

"And get shot!" I said with false perkiness while giving a thumbs up sarcastically.

"Lee, you know for some one as old as you, you act so immature." He said smiling.

I faked offense. "I'm offended! That hurt, that really did." I said. "Who's more immature, me or Red?"

Abe seemed to think.

"I wouldn't answer that if I was you, Blue." Hellboy said from the door way. "Come on you two Liz got KFC." He looked overly exited at this fact. Though I had to admit, so was I.

"KFC!" I said hopping up. "I love KFC!"

Hellboy laughed. "Me to so hurry the hell up!" He said. "She won't let me eat until you two are down there!"

Dinner went smooth, Red and I actually argued for the last chicken leg. Until Liz intervened and gave it to me, much to Reds displeasure. Abe had only a salad with what looked to be green eggs atop it.

"Um, scooter?" I said pointing with my fork just as Red did that morning. "What's that?"

He looked away from me sort of sheepish. The Red piped in. "He eats rotten eggs."

I looked to Red who was smirking at Abe. "Well, yes I do."

"That's cool." I said nonchalantly. Then I reached over with my fork and stole a piece of one and popped it in my mouth.

Abe gaped at me and Red and Liz looked stunned. The egg had a very strong flavor, I wont lie, kind of sulfuric with a hint of vinaigrette. "Ain't bad." I noted.

"No way?" Red said.

I shrugged. "Try it, you might like it." I smirked.

Abe chuckled lightly to my right. "Good luck getting him to do that," He said. "He's not that adventurous."

Red stared. "Abe." He said. "Since when and the hell are you this talkative?"

"What do you mean." Abe said looking genuinely confused.

Red smirked now, "I mean, you bring home your girlfriend and suddenly your all uppity."

I bust out laughing, causing everyone to stare. "Who the hell," I said though laughs. "Says 'Uppity'!"

Hellboy stared a few seconds then laughed himself. "You got a point kid."

"Kid, eh. I'm older then you are home boy!" I corrected.

Abe cocked his head. "Home boy?" He questioned. Liz just watched us talk back and forth with amusement plain on her face. I may have only got here last night but I had a feeling I would be here a very long time.

This proved to be true as three months went by, and before I knew it the air was cold with autumn chill. Orange and red leaves were strewn about the lawn, and the once government facility was looking more and more like a home.

Abe and I had grown closer, we listened to some of his favorite classical pieces, one being, 'Autumn: By Antonio Vivaldi' that was quite fitting to the season. Sometimes he threw in some Theory of a Deadman that he'd grown very fond of. We went out to lunch or dinner at least once a week.

Liz and I were like sisters, we'd gone shopping a few times together and we discussed the twins she was pregnant with, and finding that out seemed to make heavier the already crushing burden that weighted on my mind. But I believe part of me had already decided that what ever happened, I couldn't kill Hellboy.

Because Red and I were like immature siblings now, we fought over morning pancakes and dinner pork chops, we made sarcastic comments back and forth and got tipsy off his never ending stash of Tecate, he was just all around a great guy.

Today it was mid November and he was outside grumpily raking fallen leaves, just as Liz had instructed. Abe and I were in his library, everything there had been organized neatly now, the bookshelves were all up over the walls and every book lines them in some kind of order. 3 days grace: Get out Alive played on the high-tech stereo. My nose had healed well as had his bullet wound.

"We could go to dinner tonight." Abe said from behind his book. "We haven't gotten out in a while."

I half laughed. "We when to lunch last week." I reminded him.

"That was last week," He folded his page down. "Anyway, we should give Red and Liz the night alone."

I thought it was a good idea. "Alright scooter, let-" My phone rang sharply cutting me off.

Grabbing it I hit send. "Yello! Lee is speakin." I said by way of greeting.

Kate's panicked voice came from the other line. "Lee, you have to come back right now!"

I frowned with concern and panic took hold of me, Abe sensed this and stood up placing a cool hand on my arm.

"Kate whats wrong," I asked none to calmly. "I'll explain when you get here. Just hurry back."

I nodded to no one in particular. "Alright I'll see you soon Kate." I hung up and turned to Abe. "Somethings going on at the Bureau I have to go back."

"I'll go with you." He said definitely.

"Like hell, I'll just-" He cut me off definitely.

"I'm going, now lets go." He grabbed by hand and pulled me out of the room down the hall.

"What are we going to tell Red and Liz?" I asked has he dragged me down the stairs.

"Tell them we're going out." He said quickly.

I rolled my eyes. Great plan scooter.

As we rounded the corner we nearly ran into Red who was sipping a Dr. Pepper with his left arm around Liz' shoulders.

He grinned. "Where you too off in such a hurry?"

"We're going out." Abe said moving around him pulling me with him.

"Is something wrong?" Liz asked knowingly looking at us.

I looked her in the eyes. "No. We're just going out, nothing's wrong."

Now Red looked confused but there was no time as Abe led me through the door and into the car, which he promptly started and gunned out the drive.

At the Trenton headquarters we raced in and up to Kate's office. Red emergency lights lit the way and agents carrying guns, big guns, hurried down the halls.

"Kate what's wrong?" I half yelled as we bust though the door.

Kate half jumped at the door being thrown open then stared wide eyed at Abe. "You brought Abe?"

"I wasn't going to let her come alone." He said behind me.

I shook my head. "Ok whatever, now what the hells wrong!"

"Xavier had a Wendigo transferred here from Canada-"

Abe stopped her. "Wendigo? You mean Daryl?"

"His name was once Daryl yes but-" She concurred before I cut her off.

"Who the fucks Daryl?" I shouted.

Abe answered. "He was a man who was killed by a Wendigo in Canada back in the 90's, Hellboy and I located him," Abe informed.

"He still knew who he was, but we couldn't risk letting him stay loose, so the Bureau had him kept in a special place up north."

Kate nodded. "Yes but then he was transferred here." She said. "And he's escaped."

"Well why the hell did anyone thing this facility could hold a Wendigo!" I shot.

"I don't know, ask Xavier." She sounded tired, and looked it. "It's already killed a few people."

"Oh dear," Abe said softly. I rounded on him.

"Go back." I said sharply.

He looked down at me baffled. "What?"

"Go back with Red and Liz, if somethings happens to you I'll blame my self, go-"

Now he looked almost angry. "Like hell! If something happens to you I'll feel the same-"

"Guys?" Kate cut through. "We have a problem, can we talk about this later."

Roger walked in and smiled widely. "Lee! Your back!" He said gleefully. "Abe!"

"Hey buddy! Really wish we could finish out game, but it looks like there's a monster on the loose."

"Where's Ben?" Kate asked.

Roger shrugged. "No one can find him."

Kate groaned in frustration. "Abe." She said. "Find Ben." She turned to me. "Lee go get some guns."

I nodded. "Ok Roger, go with Abe, make sure he's-"

"Lee, I can take care of my-"

Roger cut across him. There was a lot of that going on today. "Will do, Lee!"

Abe sighed and followed Roger out of the room as I headed to the armory.

The armory was on the bottom level, high tech password protected, with a retina scanner and everything, and of coarse the only problem then was; the lights didn't work. "Damn government facility...light broken...piece of crap..." I grumbled.

Mumbling to my right caught my attention. I grabbed one of the assault rifles and slide in for a closer look. "Son of a..." In the corner two guys were tied together and gagged.

"Ben?" I said for the fourth time. Finally he looked up.

"Wha...?"

I cocked my head. Something wasn't reading right but I couldn't place it. "Come on." I said finally. "There is trouble."

"Lee's back!" Roger said happily from behind me.

Ben looked up and half smirked. "Well," He said. "That is trouble."

"Hey Kate got the guns!" I said. "Whoa..." The whole hall way was practically splattered with blood and a heap of a body laid in the middle. Abe stood next to Kate with Roger next to him and Ben was bent down by the shredded body.

Abe came over and put his hand on my arm. I turned over on of the assault rifles to him. "I believe you'll be needing this."

"Yes, I believe so." His phone started to ring. "Damn it." He mumbled fumbling with the devise. He flipped it up just as a loud howl filled the hall way.

"ABE!" Liz's panicked voice came. "Abe? What's going on? Where are you and Lee?"

"I will explain." He said hastily. "You know I will, don't tell Red! We'll be back soon!" And he hung up.

"We're going to have lots questions, to answer..." I whispered to him.

"Liz knows!" Kate hissed.

I shrugged trying to look innocent. "Red doesn't." I whispered back, then leaned close. "They don't know about the mission." She nodded slightly as I cocked my gun " Now, come on we go a Wendigo to catch."

Ben went off to get cloths on and we headed off to the hanger. "Cease fire!" Kate yelled over the firing of guns. "CEASE FIRE DAMN IT!"

"Bullets won't harm it." Abe told me. I already knew but I wasn't going to say anything. "If only Liz was here."

"WHERE ARE THOSE IDIOTS WITH THOSE FLAME THROWERS!"

"I think they're tied up in the armory." I said. She rounded on me.

"Did you untie them!" She asked loudly.

I looked around. "Should I have-" She sighed in frustration and rounded on another agent, a handsome black man, she called, 'Devon'.

"Your guys did good, Devon." A loud explosion succeeded her words.

"What the hell?" I hissed, wide eyed. Before I ran flat out in the direction.

"Lee!" Abe called. "Lee, stop come back!" He ran off after me, but I wasn't stopping.

I found that the explosion came from the residential wing. "Shit." I yelled. "Ben! Ben are you Ok!"

Gun shots rang out and I was hit, once in the stomach, in the leg, and in the arm.

"Son of a Bitch!" Abe yelled. I saw him fire his rifle in the direction and a body fell near me. "Lee." Abe said frantically. "Lee listen to me, stay we with." He seemed near hysterics. "You can't leave me. I can't loose you too, God damn it."

I laugh laughed, thick brownish blood trickled out of my mouth. "Looks like we're even scooter..." And I faded away.

"Is she Ok?" Roger asked.

Abe's voice answered. "Yes. She's stable." He said softly, and I felt his hand on mine.

"You really care for her don't you." Roger said.

Abe didn't answer but I swore I felt his hand squeeze mine tighter, just slightly.

A German voice came though then. "I have done what I can with the bodies."

"Yes, thank you, Johann." Kate said. "Abe, don't blame yourself..."

"If I'd been just a second fast this wouldn't of happened." He whispered.

Hypocrite, I thought.

"There's no way to know that." She replied. "Anyway, onto the subject at hand," She sighed. "The man that wounded Lee, said he was here for Ben."

Ben? What did he do?

"We saw what he did tonight..."

What did he do?

"And we lost him off in the Pine Barrens." She continued. Oblivious to my silent questions. "Chaves said the dagger could be used to kill him."

Kill him! Hell no! No fucking way! What the fuck!

"How could you kill him?" Abe asked. "He's a victim as much as anyone!"

The German voice answered him. "Really? I do not believe I would have any trouble doing it."

God Damn German Gas Bag! How the hell could you kill him!

"And the Lobster Johnson manifestation?" Kate inquired. "I need some sleep."

No one said anything else.

What I guessed was the next morning I woke up. Turned out it had been three days and it was the afternoon, but what are you going to do.

"Ugh, what happened." I groaned, reaching up to shield my eyes from the flood of light from the overheads in the medical room.

Abe shot up from a chair near me, looking tired but relieved. "Lee, damn it don't ever scare me like that again."

"I'm alright. I'm Ok, scooter." I breathed, I had more important questions. "What happened to Ben?"

He paused and thought. "Give me your hand."

"What?" I asked baffled, as I gazed at his extended hand.

Before he answered he took my hand in his and closed his eyes. "I think it will be easier for you to see this."

Images rushed into my head, and it was the strangest feeling.

I saw me lying on the floor in a pool of blood and water, that had accumulated around me from the overhead sprinkler system. Abe had shot the man who'd shot me and now he was laying in a even bigger pool of blood to my right. A horrible roar ripped through the air and a hulking monster busted through the flames that issued from Ben's room. Resembling a jaguar but much more grotesque and monstrous, the left side of its face was torn revealing the sharp teeth in its mouth.

"Damn it move man!" Abe shouted at Devon who stood in the way. He pushed him roughly aside and fired at the creature that was looming over me dangerously close. It cried in pain or anger as the bullets punched through its skin, then turned and ran off in the opposite direction.

"Did you see?" Devon inquired. "It was wearing the Captains harness. Did you see...?"

Abe cut him off looking grave. "Yes, Devon. We saw."

The scene cut to another and Abe and Kate were firing at the beast again, it slammed Abe into a wall and nearly tore Kate apart, until a gigantic man can out of nowhere and interfered. "Sorry for my being so late, Kathrine." He said. His German accent predominate. "I had a slight trouble with traffic, you could say." The monster jumped at him and threw them both throw a wall. The man was winning it appeared but then the brute bit into his face and tore his jaw straight off. Holy Damn. A mist rose from the new corpse and formed a man, Lobster Johnson I believed. He ran, gun in hand off down the hall, Abe and Kate followed in pursuit.

He entered the medical bay were I was laying hooked up to a hell of a lot of tubed and needles, then he proceeded to fire three shots into my body.

"What the Fuck!" Abe shouted. My body jerked and fell still, though all the monitors showed a steady heart beat, actually stronger then before.

Abe released my hand and the pictures faded away. I opened my eyes.

"So know you know." He said softly.

I frowned then laughed lightly, he stared. "What's funny about that?"

I smiled. "I never would have expected such language from you."

He looked away from me. "Neither would I. But it had been a long night and I was entitled to it."

"Liz is going to be very upset." I said.

Standing up he went over to the counter. "Yes, she will be." He took a roll of fresh wrappings, some alcohol and scissors.

"What's that for?" I questioned.

Making his was over he said. "I need to re wrap your wounds." He said before pulling the cover that was over me down, exposing my breasts. "Hey! Scooter Whoa Whoa whoa!" I said, trying to cover up but only feeling sudden pain. "Ow...damn." I groaned.

"Lee, seriously." He said looking at my face. "I'm not concerned with that, I'm more concerned with your health and well being. I'm completely professional."

I laughed slightly. "Your still a man."

"Some would debate that." He said. I winced as he cut the old blood soaked bandage off. "Why would they."

He moved his face closer to me. "I'm not human, there for some people," He rephrased. "Most wouldn't consider me a man."

"Well their idiots." I said conclusively.

He cleaned up the area around the opening, laughing lightly. "Your not human, yourself, there for you exactly can't make a bias conclusion. But thank you."

"I look fairly human!" I argued.

He looked up dead pan. "Your deathly pale, have gold eyes and pointed ears."

"Your point?" I said looking away. "I'm a creepy deformed, albino human...thing."

"Your an elf." He said. "At least half."

I laid back and left him to his work, my mind filled with worry for Ben and the many questions from Liz and Red, many that will be hard to lie my way out of.

I hugged Roger tightly. "Buddy I'm going to miss you!"

"You too, Lee!" I said back. "Maybe I can visit you guys."

I smiled. "That would be awesome, Roger."

Someone cleared the throat from behind us. "This is all touching but I need to see you and Mr. Sapien in my office, now." Xavier's clipped voice said.

"We really need to be leaving-" Abe said but was cut off.

"What you need to be doing is coming to my office, Mr. Sapien."

Abe took a hold of my hand and led me away. 'I actually have to say, Manning was way better then is moron.' Abe thought in my head.

'Yeah, really.' I concurred. 'This guy is such an ass.'

We entered his office and stood there waiting to be addressed. Finally after a few uncomfortable minutes of staring he spoke. "Ms. Morgan, are you aware that your mission was to not inform anyone of the-"

"It's not her fault." Abe defended. "I read people. It's just what I saw, she couldn't have prevented it."

He frowned and glared at Abe. "Mr. Sapien are you aware that I can make things very difficult for you and your," He basically spat out the word. "family."

Abe gave him a death glare worthy of Hellboy. "Are you threatening me, Dr. Xavier?"

"It's not a threat, not at all." He said smoothly. "It's a promise." Then he turned back to me. "You have failed to do as I instructed you to, your being withdrawn and you will move back here," He said. "Tonight. There will be no going back."

Now I must tell you I've been around a while, been pissed off many a times, but this guy tops the list.

I slammed my hand on his desk with super human strength, cracking the wood in my anger. "Look here dumb fuck!" I shot. "Don't you every threaten MY friends!" I jabbed a finger in my chest.

Still he didn't even look phased. "Ms. Morgan, your mission is terminated, you will move back here. That is an order."

"I quit." I hissed dangerously.

He smiled. "Be expecting a call soon." He said.

I seized Abe's hand and stalked out the door.

The drive back to Connecticut was loud. Both of us were fuming mad so Abe turned Disturbed up full volume, 'killing you now.' seemed to be the favorite of the moment. When we arrived at home Abe stepped out and slammed the door with astonishing force. When we walked to the door he slammed in open, banging it on Hellboy's newly painted wall.

"Damn it." Red grumbled then saw us and jumped up. "Where in the hell have you to been!"

Liz hurried down the stairs. "I'm not in the mood now." Abe hissed as grabbed my arm and basically dragged me towards the stairs.

"ABE!" Liz yelled. Boy was she on fire. "Explain NOW!"

He rounded on her. "YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN! I'LL EXPLAIN, LEE'S FROM THE BUREAU, RED! SHE GOT A CALL FROM KATE SAYING THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AT BASE SO I WENT WITH HER AND ALL FUCKING HELL BROKE LOOSE! THE WENDIGO WE FOUND IN CANADA HAD BEEN MOVED THERE AND ESCAPED, LEE GOT SHOT AND BEN TURNED INTO A GOD DAMNED MONSTER!" He yelled taking everyone by surprise, even me. I had to admit though, I was proud of him.

Before Red or Liz could even answer he pulled me up the stairs, down a hall and into an empty bed room. "Abe? What are you-?"

He kissed me, it was rough and needy, no sweetness there. But that was fine with me. All the anger of the night turned into blind intoxicating passion. Abe threw me down, none-to-gently onto the bed and fitted himself on top of me. His slender legs wrapped around me, his narrow hips grinding against mine. His tongue slid against mine, cool and wet. A distinguishable hardness pushed against my thigh.

'How far exactly were we going to take this?' I wondered. But honestly a part of me hoped we'd take it farther then we should.

His cold hands wandered up my shirt and under my bra teasing my nipples, but careful of my wounds. I moaned in spite of myself, feeling myself grow hot beneath him.

He sat up, straddling me and undid his shirt, disregarding it carelessly before returning to my lips. The kiss was slightly softer but only slightly; as he sucked and pulled on my tongue.

My right hand traveled down his bare chest to his shorts. I slipped my fingers under the waistband teasingly. He groaned loudly.

"Hey Abe?" Red called banging on the door. "You in there? Come on pal lets just talk!"

Abe's head snapped up and realization flooded him. "Oh my God..." He said softly. "I'm so sorry."

I shook my head awkwardly. "Don't be."

"Abe?" Liz called. "Come on please."

"Coming!" He called, picking up his shirt and hastily putting it back on.

I straightened up a bit and opened the door. Liz stood there looking concerned and Red frowned slightly, looking from me to Abe. "Why you guys in there?" He asked, puzzled as to why we were in the spare bed room.

Abe thought quick, good thing cause my mind was still reeling. "We just needed to talk, you know some place neutral."

"Fair enough." Liz said. "Now please just talk to us."

Red pointed at me. "Your from the Bureau."

"Yeah, so I get kicked out now right." Red and Liz exchanged glances.

Liz was the one that spoke. "Red's not going to kick you you, neither am I, obvious or I would have told him before this."

Red pulled a face. "You knew?"

"Yes, Ok let me explain now." She breathed. "She was sent here to monitor things,"

Red eyed me. "Is that so, huh."

"It wasn't her choice it was the new director." Liz concluded.

"Not that it matters now, I quit today." I said.

Both Red and Liz stared. "Why?" Red said.

I shrugged. "He threatened Abe and you guys. Then told me the mission was terminated and that I wasn't going back here."

"Needless to say we were both in very bad moods." Abe said.

Red still looked at me. "Wait you quit," He said slowly. "Because this guy threatened us?"

I nodded. "Yeah, what was I supposed to do. I ain't gonna stay there with that dumbass."

Liz smiled. "You didn't have to do that."

Abe put his hand on my should and my mind filtered back to what had just happened, I could tell he sensed it. "He said he could make things very difficult on us..." Abe informed.

Red snorted. "Ha! Let him try." He held up his right fist and examined it.

"I'm worried about Ben though," I said. "And Roger, he's stuck there with that lunatic."

Everyone agreed on that front.

We moved the conversation to the kitchen, due to Red insatiable appetite. There Abe told them what had happened and I couldn't help but stare at him now and then as he sat across from me talking. I could feel this weird sensation in my stomach, that frankly made me sorta sick. He was rather sexy I reasoned, then mentally shot myself for the thought. Abe looked towards me and cocked his head, then smiled slightly.

'Damn it he just heard that didn't he? Damn it...' I scolded my self before his voice came through, not audibly, he was still talking to Liz and Red but in my head. 'Yes, yes I did.' He thought back. 'And look I'm sorry for what happened. I don't know what I was thinking. Though it is rather nice to know you think I'm quote, "Rather Sexy".' He mentally chuckled. 'Oh and Liz is trying to get your attention."

"What?" I said. Liz was staring at me.

"Honey you've been staring at Abe for the pass five minutes, you Ok." Next to her Red giggled.

"Babe, come on, she's staring at Abe. Somethings definitely wrong." Her smiled faded and she turned and smacked him on the arm. "Be nice!" She hissed. "Or you will sleep in the parking garage."

He sighed. "She's a feisty one."

"We should go to bed, it's late." She said, behind her Red smirked.

We all stood up and made our way to our rooms, Red and Liz to their own little residential area and Abe and I to ours.

He stopped me outside my door. "Lee, I can't begin to apologize for my actions today..." I put my fingers to his lips, shutting him up.

"Then don't." I said before leaning up to kiss those soft cold fish lips. His tongue was briefly in my mouth before the clearing of a throat made us both jump.

Red stood to our right down the hall, grinning like a moron monkey. "Ugh... sorry to interrupt, guys." He said giggling through his words. "But I was wondering if either one of you saw pancake?"

I frowned. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"One of his cat's is named pancake..." Abe groaned. "And no, Red I haven't seen it."

Red, still grinning, gave us a thumbs up and backed away. "Alright, don't stay up to late you two."

When he rounded the corner, Abe sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Hey scooter, that one was on me." I smiled. "Stop being so damn sorry and live a little."

He smiled at that. "So..." He started awkwardly after a brief silence. "What does this make us."

"Google it, scooter." I said, in what I hope, but more then likely wasn't a, seductive voice.
