Jake and Sidney finally arrived to the building were they work.

"How did you lost your license?" Sid was the first to spoke. She closed the car's door as she looked at him with a mocking expression.

The man thought she was mad at him for his carelessness. He knew she had all the right and that's why he hadn't said a word since they got out of that nasty lab.

He let go a sigh and laughed a bit. "I was unawarely speeding. So, this police man stopped me. And I kind of insulted him."

His smile spread through his cheeks and continued. "A couple of times. And his mom too"

Incredibly, the short brunet started to laugh. Her eyes had a beautiful shine when she smiled, that Jake hadn't noticed before.

"You're lucky that they just took your license for a while" She kept laughing.

As soon as they entered the office, a woman came running to Jake.

Sherry.

She was crying and mumbling unintelligible words.

Piers was also there. He had a mix of concern and irritation on his face. Sidney knew exactly what was coming.

He walked to the tall redhead and, poking his finger on his chest, started to yell.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" His whole face was turning a deep red and the veins of his neck were swollen from rage.

She slowly grabbed his finger and lowered it. He snapped his face at her. That's when she took the opportunity to stand between the two guys.

One thing she hated, was unnecessary violence. Still holding his finger, Sid spoke very seriously.

"It was MY decision to go. We could not waste any time. And you should be glad that we got there before that thing killed another person" She said everything slowly, keeping her tone as calm as possible, but still serious. "Calm down, ok?" This time her voice was a little bit harsher.

As she released his finger, she came back to her usual soft demeanor.

Jake noticed that her personality could drastically change depending on the situation.

He turned to see his girlfriend who was now calming down, probably shocked at the scene she just witnessed. It was unusual to see the other woman being so serious.

Sidney walked to Sherry and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry if we made you worry" She thought they were overreacting, especially the blond one. She should know an ex mercenary with his experience could handle himself.

Also, she was bothered at the lack of faith the woman had in her boyfriend. Still, she tried to be nice and understanding.

"Chris called to warn me that you two were going there. But after a couple of hours I called you and your phone was turned off"

Piers struggled to maintain himself calmed.

"I asked Sherry if she knew anything and we got really worried."

Before Jake could say anything, Sid started to apologize again. Maybe the best idea was to left her do the talking. For once he was not going to nudge Piers to an argument. He didn't want to ruin Sid's efforts to keep things at peace.

After explaining the whole situation to the other agents. They all decided that there wasn't much to do and each went home.

Piers apartment

"You look tired. Go take a shower and I'll give you a good massage before we go to bed" Piers kissed her forehead. She simply nodded and went straight to the bathroom.

She was tired fiscally and her mind was drained. Fighting BOWs was something she had been avoiding for years.

She took the job thinking she would never had to go through it again. But it seemed that she was bounded to fight forever.

She slowly slid of her clothing trying to fix her thoughts on something else. The memory of that thing jumping to attack Jake kept popping in every thought she had.

She got out of the bathroom as tense as she entered. Piers was waiting her on the bed with a nice cold tea and the book she was currently reading. Sid had the habit of reading two or three hours before sleep. That's how she always ended up not sleeping more than four hours per night.

"Come here. What do you say if I give you that massage while you read?" Piers was probably the most perfect boyfriend she could have found, she thought. A small smile appeared on her face as she nodded and sat between his legs.

He lowered her bathrobe only enough to expose her slim shoulders. With some vanilla oil, he started to softly rub from her nape to her shoulder blades.

She tried hard to keep her eyes on the words written on the paper, but they kept closing in pleasure. Finally the brunet gave up and lowered her head to enjoy better.

His thumbs kept making small circles on her back until he felt her relax. Then he delicately pushed her on his chest. Her head leaned back onto his shoulder. She was breathing softly and her eyes remained closed. Piers smiled at her. "You were really tired, huh? Good night beauty" He kissed her right cheek and wrapped his arms around her waist. She looked so peaceful that he decided to sleep in that position so she wouldn't wake up. In the morning he was going to regret it, but her cute expression was worth the back pain.

Sidney lazily opened her eyes. It was already clear outside and the light that was coming from the bedroom window made it more difficult.

"Shoot!" She stood so fast that Piers almost fell from the bed. She rushed to the closet and frantically started to put her office outfit while she informed her boyfriend that they overslept and they had half hour to get to their work.

"Piers, you need to hurry! Stop yawning and start dressing" She has always being very strict about schedules and everything related to work. That's how she had been taught by her mentor.

Sid throw him his clothes as she ran searching for her shoes.

"Hey cutie, calm down" He grabbed he wrist and pulled her to his lap. He was a very responsible person when it came to work, but she was overreacting a bit.

"Nivans!" He interrupted her with a sweet kiss on the lips. She simply let go a sigh and kissed him back. "You know I like when you go all nuts because something doesn't go as you planned?" He teased, although it was partially true.

She deepened the kiss and ran her hand through the hair on the back of his head. When he was about to start to unbutton her shirt, she stood up and smacked his hands.

"Get dress!" She left the room.

They arrived the office only five minutes late. Miraculously, the traffic was smooth.

As the couple entered the room Sherry approached to Sid. "Jake told what you did" The brunet was clueless of what the other woman was talking about. She tilted her head. "He told me you saved him"

Sherry hugged her tightly. Her eyes were full of tears. "I don't know how to thank you" The poor Sid was trying not to laugh at the cuteness of the blond one. "It was nothing. It's part of our job"

"I know it's not enough, but tell me what it's your favorite meal and I'll make you a thank you dinner" She smiled brightly at Sherry and answered. The agent may be a little dramatic but it was super sweet and she felt that she had to be nice to her even if she disagreed.

"Ok" Sherry clapped her hands and slightly jumped in her place. "I'll text you the address" She gave Sid another hug and went to her desk.

Piers chuckled at the scene while his girlfriend sent him a warning glance.

She searched the room with her eyes. Jake was nowhere to be seen. She simply shrugged and went to the lab locking the door as she entered.

She walked to the computer and, as usual, searched for some music. After finding the one that suited her mood, she kneeled under desk putting a small key in a lock disguised as a wall plug. A small safe box opened. Her chest felt compressed.

"I'm glad that I kept these"

At six thirty, she was ready to leave to Sherry's home. "Want me to give you a ride there?" Piers asked as he ate some snacks.

"Nah, I'll just walk. It's pretty close actually" And with a kiss on his cheek, she left.

An agitated Sherry clumsily opened the door.

"Hey! How punctual! Come in" She step aside and let her guest enter the apartment. Sid arrived exactly on time.

She eyed her surroundings. The place was small and very girly decorated. She thought that her host had a nice taste. The living room had the two walls at the sides painted a light blue sapphire and the one with the door and the opposite one where a creamy white. There were some pictures of beautiful flowers scattered in different parts of the room. All the furniture were a soft beige and the couch was a nice shade of yellow sand. It looked very comfy. Everything was impeccable.

The house had a calm vibe that Sid found very pleasant. There is no way that Jake lives here too. She laugh to herself.

"It smells amazing!" Homemade food was one of Sid's weakness.
