"What are you doing here?" Veronica demanded.
"You invited me," Daniel replied.
"That was before. If you say one word about any of this to Eli, you would be very sorry. A little tip I could easily disclose your relationship with your lovely Cole. This isn't a threat it's a fucking promise do some wrong move and you will have to live with the consequences. And as soon as I get my gun back, I'll shoot you just for fun." she warned him with a smile.
"Do you remember something?" Daniel asked, excited.
"No, but I'm sure if I'm FBI that I have a gun somewhere… and know how to use it," Veronica scowled.
Daniel tried to hide the smile. "I won't tell him anything. It's an active case."
"You don't think Weevil is linked to drugs and money laundering, do you?" Veronica gasped.
Daniel shook his head. "I checked him out, he's clean."
"Of course he is," Veronica growled. "I want you gone.''
"Won't my disappearance just make him ask questions?" Daniel shrugged.
"Yes," Veronica frowned. Weevil would be suspicious if Daniel took off. "I mean it, Daniel; promise me you won't say anything because if you do it will be my motivation of life to destroy you and the other persons involved in this, are we clear?"
"I promise. But, you'll need to meet with Cole again to see if he can stimulate your memory."
"I don't want my memory stimulated," Veronica scowled.
"You have no choice. You are a government employee on medical leave, you must undergo treatment…."
"You can shove the government…"
"Eli," Daniel smiled.
Weevil slipped her arms around her lover. "So, what do you think?"
Both Daniel and Veronica froze.
Weevil could see he'd interrupted something.
Daniel smiled. "Think about what?"
Veronica nodded and said meekly. "I need to mingle a bit."
"Daniel and I can catch up for a while," Weevil smiled.
"No," Veronica said quickly. "Come with me to see your grandmother"
"Of course," Weevil smiled. It was obvious Veronica didn't want him anywhere near Daniel. "Could you excuse us?"
Daniel nodded. He made his excuses to Keith and got the hell out.
Weevil saw Daniel make a hasty exit. Whatever they were hiding, he was determined to know what was going on. What had upset Veronica so much this afternoon? He'd never seen her lover that way and now Keith told him Veronica was gone for six months and had no idea where she'd been. Weevil chatted politely to everyone. The night was long and tedious, but Weevil held it together a lot better than Veronica had. By eleven, Veronica looked wiped. Weevil held her tightly from behind and whispered in her ear. "Are we finished?"
Veronica smiled. Weevil had been wonderful tonight. "Yes, we're done, let's go home."
Weevil smiled. He wanted to feel Veronica's bare skin on his.
