p class="MsoNormal"AN: Sorry guys, I made the last chapter so short. As an apology I wrote a second chapter today./p

p class="MsoNormal"Mike and Ike met Brian at the safe house promptly at seven am, "forgetting" that he had the day off that Friday for Rachel's birthday. He was already awake and thinking too much, so he decided to do a quick workout routine while they wait for nine am to meet his sister. As he was doing reps of push-ups he thought of the many places he could lose Mike Ike at the museum./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"He loved to read comic books, so he thought about acting over-excited at the Marvel exhibit to try and lose them. Rachel could not know the plan, thinking she might screw it up somehow without meaning to. They would visit most of the exhibits and then their last stop of the museum should be the Marvel exhibit so that they could act super silly and hopefully escape Mike Ike./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIf all fails, he planned on taking Rachel on a shopping spree in larger stores to help get rid of them, if they walked fast enough, they had a good chance of being free./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Rachel was at his apartment promptly at 9 am. They ate breakfast together, Mike Ike joined in, and Brian Co headed out for their trip to Times Square. Normally he wouldn't go there for the day, but he wanted to make his sister happy and to impress her friends./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"The plan at the museum worked out perfectly. They were able to lose both Mike Ike by the time they hit the Marvel exhibition. Ike was easier to lose, but Mike knew the Finch siblings were definitely up to something and stuck around for much longer./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Eventually they left laughing in the direction of Beer Authority. Bri and Ellie were supposed to meet them for lunch and a few drinks. They found the twins and went inside./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Their host was a cute redhead, tall and slim, and a part-time actor. They got to know each other. Everyone decided to go for a burger and fries, except for Ellie (she was a vegetarian so she ordered a veggie burger instead).span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThen the first and second round of beers went by. The group, now tipsy, decided to head to the shops and have fun./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Ellie and Brian spent most of the time waiting outside while Rachel and Bri shopped. Brian thought she was really cute and that maybe, just maybe, she might be into him as well. It's not every day that a girl turns down a chance to go shopping after all./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""So what do you do?" Ellie caught him off guard. He couldn't tell her the truth, as it was all a national secret, but he couldn't lie either and lose her trust./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""Well I work for the FBI usually, specifically the CJC. I'm not an agent, more of a consultant of sorts." He hoped he was vague and specific enough that she wouldn't ask any more questions. He knew his work was dangerous and that the less people who knew about it, the better it was for all of them./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""Huh. I call bull. The FBI just doesn't take anyone. You aren't some sort of genius are you?" She countered./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanDamn, she's smart. Brian needed a good excuse, or a distraction. She couldn't have that sort of style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal""That's really all I can say. It's all classified information, the FBI loves red tape on everything." He hoped a small joke would make her realize how nervous he was with all these questions and simply drop it instead. It didn't have a chance to work. Rachel and Bri showed up with their arms full of shopping bags. He offered to help them carry them, hoping for some brownie points with them as well. It worked. Bri gave him a kiss on the cheek and they all headed to dinner./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Brian turned on his phone to try to find an impressive place. Not surprised, he found 37 texts from Rebecca, 20 phone calls, and 10 voice mails from her alone. If you counted the ones from the rest of his co-workers at the CJC, the numbers would be well into the style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanProbably more if he disappeared for much longer./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"He decided to ignore them and suggest pizza and beer for dinner back at his "apartment" they all style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanA meeting with Naz in the morning would be ok if Ellie decided to spend the night./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"They decided to watch Chuck on Netflix as they at pizza. Chuck pretty much was stuck in a similar life as Brian. He was a no body who was suddenly given a bunch of government secrets in his head, but as a bonus, his handler was also his totally hot girlfriend./p
p class="MsoNormal" eBy the end of the third episode, Rachel and Bri announced that they were leaving, but Ellie decided to stay claiming she was too tired for the long trip back to their apartment. Bri and Rachel knew better but didn't question it further. Brian knew they would hook up later, and he was so glad his birthday plan for Rachel worked better than expected./p
