Per the request of waltxvic, this chapter will focus on Vic's jealousy about other women and walt. Well, more to the point, it will focus on episode seven from season three. Hope this is what ya had in mind!

I had turned, facing Walt. He seemed to be acting as if nothing had happened back there and I couldn't stand it much longer. "I never thought of you as the garden party type but you seemed real comfortable with the monopoly twins back there…especially Penny."

I saw him cast a sideways glance towards me as he drove. "My dad looked after their stables. I'd go with him sometimes. Penny would come down to sketch the horses while we worked."

I couldn't help but grin at what he obviously didn't see. Or tried to ignore. "Sketch the horses? Sounds like she had a crush on you…" I laughed, trying to relieve some of my tension. "What were you like at twelve? Chatty, I bet. Right?"

He turned, looking at me and laughed. "Oh, sure. Almost as chatty as you are."

I began to respond, but was stopped when I saw his joking appearance turn into something serious. I looked up, and let out a groan when I too saw it. The riot-like crowd outside of the office. "Damn, these people don't take a break."

He let out a huff that could have been related to a laugh as he parked. "Yup."

I hopped out of the car and followed behind him, angrily pushing through the press. Bunch of money hungry, no good trash.

Walt and I finally made it inside, where he barked out a couple orders to Ferg before Branch announced his idea to go out to the caves where we had found Hector.

I knew he didn't need to be going alone. "I'll go with him."

Branch had quickly declined but Walt shut him down. "Take her with you."

He huffed, stopping to wait on me. "Give me a minute Branch."

I followed behind Walt, closing the door to his office once we were both inside. "Hey, Walt."

He had gone to his desk and didn't spare a glance up as he dug through papers. "Yea, Vic?"

Clearing my throat, I fidgeted nervously with my coat zipper. " I…well, I didn't mean to be prying into your relationship with Penny. I know you don't like your personal life being meddled in, and I don't want to come between you both, like what happened…well before."

He stopped and walked around the front of his desk to lean on it as a seat. "Vic, you didn't do anything before, and you haven't now. There is nothing going on with Penny, never will be as far as I can tell. We have always been friendly, but that's just childhood friends. Besides," he paused, and I could have sworn I saw a blush cover his face."The frilly type isn't really my…well, type."

I stood there, awkwardly, for a moment before nodding. "Well…I guess I better get going before Branch leaves me."

He looked up, smiling, but the blush still evident. "Yup."

I hope that was what you wanted. Sorry it was so short. I still would love requests and of course reviews. Reviews make my muse do happy dances on my keyboard!
