Tanks POV
Birds flying high
you know how I feel
Sun in the sky
you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I loved Bombshell, I really did, but it felt so good, finally, to get one over on both her and Ranger. She stunned me in the middle of the police station, in front of the Rangeman employees and half the Trenton PD. I knew that Ranger was going to kill me for not getting them out of lock-up, but I just didnt give a shit.
Lester walked up to me, "Tank, when is Callen coming to get them out of here?"
I looked at Lester and chuckled, "Not anytime soon."
"Have you lost your mind?" They are going to kick your ass. He raised his eyebrow, probably questioning my sanity.
"Maybe, but this is so worth it."
"Tank, this is the dumbest thing youve ever done." Lester smirked. "I must say, I'm proud man. This is something I would do, not you. I never thought you had it in you to do something like this to them." He pointed to the integration room where the love birds were being held.
"I dont know about that. Remember, that waitress in Miami?" I grinned as I walked out of the station.
Oh yeah, Im feeling good!
Fish in the sea
you know how I feel
River running free
you know how I feel
blossom on the trees
you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, thats what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
I went back to the station six hours later and got Carl to let me look in on the love birds. I should have realized that locking them up together wouldn't be much of a punishment. Ranger had Stephanie sitting in his lap. They were holding hands, enjoying just being together. I was really happy for them.
I finally decided to tell them that I was the reason they were still in lock-up. I walked into the integration room. They were kissing and didn't seem to notice that I had entered the room until I cleared my throat.
Ranger broke the kiss and glared at me, "Tank, where in the hell is Callen? We've been in here over six hours."
"Callen hasn't been here because I haven't called him." I smirked.
"Why didn't you call him, Tank?" Stephanie squeaked.
"Oh, Bombshell, I can't believe you are even asking me that question. Seriously?" I stood there arms crossed, glaring at her. "Think about what you did to me today, Bombshell."
"First of all, you were trying to get them to let Ranger out. Second, you were telling me what to do. You've known me for 3 years, Tank; did you expect that to go over well?" Stephanie fumed.
If, I was honest with myself, she was right. I knew that telling her what to do would not go over well. But damned, if I'd tell her. I quirked my eyebrow at her.
"TANK," she whined, "I'm sorry, I stunned you."
Ranger must not have heard about her stunning me because he laughed. I'm not talking, his normal, thinking about laughing. I'm talking full on laughing. He had tears in his eyes, he was laughing so hard.
I glared at him. "Some friend you are, Asshole."
That just made him laugh harder. I turned to walk back out of the room. I got to the door and looked at them over my shoulder. "Obviously, you arent ready for me to call Callen, yet."
Rangers laughter stopped immediately. "Tank, get us out of here now!" he commanded.
I snorted, "What are you going to do if I don't? Fire me?"
Ranger glared.
"Nope, I'm part owner. Kick my ass?"
Stephanies mouth was hanging open. I knew she thought I was scared of Ranger.
"We both know its not likely; were too evenly matched." He knows Im right.
"I'll be back to get you two later." I walked out of the room with the biggest smile on my face. I showed them. Paybacks are sweet!
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
Later that night, I picked up Callen. He was in on my revenge and knew what I was up too. I had him start working on getting them released early that afternoon. Their release had been ready hours ago all we had to do was go spring them. I chose to let them sit and stew in lock-up for several hours.
"You ready to go get them?" Callen asked.
"I'm thinking Shortys Pizza sounds good and then we'll go get the lovebirds." I chuckled.
"What on earth did they do to piss you off so bad, and don't tell me it was Steph stunning you?"
"I'm not really pissed. It's more payback for them being stupid and taking so long getting together. It was torture watching them try to fight their feelings for one another. Plus, it is a little for payback for all the Bombshell duties Ranger has assigned me. Shes stunned me, got me shot, got me kicked in the nuts by a little old lady, and groped by her crazy grandma more times than I can count."
Callen laughed at my plight. I really didn't see what was so funny.
Sometime later, we pulled into the back lot of the Trenton PD. I made my way to the observation room, while Callen dealt with the paperwork. Stephanie must have been saying something amusing, because I could see a smirk on Rangers face. I flicked on the speaker so I could hear what they were saying.
Steph seemed to be talking to herself, "You would think that a comment like, 'you know, when this is over, we should really have angry sex,' would get me more than a damn smirk."
Ranger kissed her senseless before he told her, "Babe!"
I noticed her face turned scarlet red, "I guess I said that out loud." She sighed.
I decided to go let them out of the holding cell. I walked into the room and chuckled. "Angry sex, Steph, I wonder how many guys were listening in on your conversation while youve been stuck in here all evening?"
"Tank!" Stephanie pleaded. "Please tell me that they havent been watching us all day?"
"No, the only person that has been let in this room is me. I only watched for a minute earlier today and long enough to hear your inner dialogue before I came in the room. At least now, I have a bargaining chip." I wiggled my eyebrows at her.
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me
We made our way out of the building. Ranger had Stephanie at his side with his arm wrapped tightly around her. Callen was telling them he had been talking with the DA and they were working out a community service arrangement for both Ranger and Steph.
As we arrived at the Rangeman SUV, Ranger went to get in the back seat with Steph. I tossed him the keys. He raised his eyebrow in question.
"I've got plans." I walked off in the direction of Lulas Firebird. I hopped in the car and kissed my girl.
Oh yeah, I thought, I'm feeling good.
And I'm feeling good
