James was surprised and slightly... elated to see the agent so soon. He smiled brightly at him, ignoring the shorter man beside him.
"You didn't take my advice on taking a few weeks off, I see." Kay commented with amusement, a small smile slipping between the cracks of his emotional barrier.
"Couldn't wait to get back in the force." He shrugged his shoulders, "What're you and your friend doing here?"
"Actually, we've come to take Ms. Quillian home. She's a matter of national importance."
The woman shrunk back somewhat, shooting glares at the men in suits.
"Azalea Quillian?" James raised a brow at her name. "Is she a–"
"She's in the Witness Protection Program. I'm sure you can understand, James." Kay explained.
"Officer Edwards. Respect the badge." James's– Officer Edwards's– lips curled into a teasing smile. U rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Officer Edwards." Kay played along, "Might we have our witness back?"
"Couldn't we have a few more minutes to elope, man?" Officer Edwards smirked.
Kay deadpanned, "She's not what she seems."
"Oh?" Officer Edwards pursed his lips, doing a dramatic job of checking her out, her giggling as he did so. "Seems like what she seems to me."
Kay rolled his eyes, "Check her right ear."
Officer Edwards did as he was told, finding two strange, metallic protrusions in her ear.
"What're these–" He began to touch her ear, but his wrist was caught quickly by Kay, who somehow managed to go around the LTD in two seconds. 'Damn, that man was fast!'
"No touching. We have every reason to believe she's being tracked." Kay let his hand linger on James's wrist a little longer than usual. "Might we escort her now?"
"Uhh, sure." James let out a crooked– somewhat dissapointed smile and waved to the woman as U directed her into the back of the LTD.
Kay was a little more into Jay's personal space than he had expected, taking a step back before clearing his throat. He went around his car, opening the driver's side door. "Be careful out there, Officer Edwards."
"Hey, what do they call you?" James asked aloud before Kay slipped in.
Kay paused, then spoke. "They call me Kay."
