AN: I'm sorry, I forgot where in NY was Brian's safe house, so I had his apartment located in the Village. I know mostly the Chelsea area in NYC so some locations are guesses. My family is from Brooklyn so that is a little more accurate as I mostly grew up near Coney Island.
Since both Brian and Ellie lived in the Village, they decided meet up and take the train together to Brooklyn. Naz was surprisingly ok with having the two go to Coney Island together, the only downside was that Rebecca had to go with them. Luckily Rebecca had already agreed to downplay the handler role of their relationship and talk as little about work as possible.
Brian met Rebecca first. And whoa, was he surprised. Instead of her usual business first attire, Rebecca was dressed in a neon pink tank top that said "not all who wander are lost" and cute pair of cutoff jeans. Wait did he think her outfit was cute? He was with Ellie! He had to focus.
He tried to smile and defect instead. "Woah Rebecca, no suit today?" Jokes usually worked best for him. It worked.
She smiled and replied, "Well I didn't want to get it full of sand for tomorrow so I figured you wouldn't tell Naz I was wearing something casual, and I'm undercover." She smirked. Damn, she's good.
I had to counter her comment with something equally as witty. That's how our conversation usually went. Not out right flirting, but definitely something there.
"I won't tell if you won't tell." And a flash of my pearly whites. Rebecca laughed. Score.
We walked together to catch the F train. Ellie lived in Washington Square so we would catch the N train together there. Hopefully there would be no delays and we would arrive in Coney Island before lunch.
But when Brian and Rebecca arrived to the N train transfer, things definitely got awkward. For one, Brian kept on comparing Ellie to Rebecca, something both rude and unnecessary, but with every little interesting fact she said, he couldn't help but lean in closer in the conversation.
Finally Ellie arrived. She was wearing a cute tie-dye crop top with acid wash jeans. Her hair was as usual, wavy, and a beautiful dirty blonde. They got to the aquarium in Coney Island and decided to make it the first stop. After all, you don't go there every day. A million selfies later, they found a spot in the beach.
Rebecca decided to give the couple some privacy and pretended to nap soon after she applied sunscreen.
Ellie wanted to run into the water and play, so she dragged Brain with her. They splashed water and had a great time. Eventually Ellie got tired and announced that she wanted to sunbath a little and they both agreed to lie in the sun for a little.
As the evening approached he decided it was time to go go-karting. There was a spot right on the boardwalk they can use. As they were all fairly good drivers, it got dull quickly, so they decided to ride Cyclone. It was always opened for Memorial Day and it marked the beginning of a great summer. Cyclone was an older roller coaster, built in 1927 in wood, but it was the beginning of a great adventure.
Dinner was at Nathans'. Nothing special, but it was another important adventure when walking the boardwalk of Coney Island.
Ellie and Rebecca bonded a lot that day. Brian barely listened, but he knew the conversation was mostly based on shoes and clothes. He was happy knowing the two most important women (besides his mother) were content. At the time that was all that mattered.
