They reach D.C. in record time. Bianca had fallen asleep (as usual), so she doesn't know where they are.

Riley pulls the van up to an apartment complex. He turns off the ignition and turns to Bianca.

'She always manages to fall asleep...' he thinks looking her over.

Her head is tilled on her left shoulder and some of her hair had fallen in her face.

Riley reaches over to move the hair. Before he does, she stirs a bit and opens her eyes.

"Are we there?" she asks groggily and squinting from the light.

"Yeah, we're here," he says softly, leaning over and kissing her forehead.

Bianca smiles up at him and stretches; hitting her knuckles on the window.

"Ouch," she says quietly.

"What?" Riley asks.

He was getting out of the van, so he didn't see her hit it.

"Oh, nothing. Just hit the window," she says also getting out of the van.

Bianca grabs the bag that under her feet in the front seat and follows Riley into the building. They go up 6 flights of stairs to the third and top floor of the building. Riley takes a key out of his pocket and unlocks the door.

Bianca looks around the place from the doorway. It was pretty close to the same set up as her apartment. The only exception was that every room was about twice the size as hers were.

"Gosh, what do you do again? Work for the FBI or something? This place is huge," Bianca asks placing her bag by the door.

"No, not the FBI. I'm a computer programmer," says Riley with a laugh.

"Any side jobs or anything like that? This place is twice the size as my place was," Bianca says.

"You said that already," Riley points out.

"Yeah, I know, just trying the get that through my head," she says with a smile. "Do you mind if we get my mattress up here right away? I don't feel comfortable with it on the roof of the van in D.C."

"Sure, why not. We can put it against the wall in my room for now," he says walking towards the door.

Bianca follows him to the door and closes it behind her. Riley was just about to go down the stairs.

"Riley, wait," Bianca says just before he hits the first step.

"What?" he asks, stepping back on the landing.

"Let's race," she says, her eyes going wide.

"Down to the van?" Riley inquires.

"Yeah, you're not afraid of losing are you?" Bianca teases, lining up on the landing with him.

"You're such a child, you know that?" he says smirking at her.

"Yeah, I know...but you love it," she says with a grin.

"Alright, I'll race," Riley gives in.

"Okay, on 3," Bianca starts, "1...2...You're shoe's untied," she says, pointing to his shoes and Riley looks down at his shoes, "3!"

Bianca gets a head start and flies down the first set of stairs and completely jumps through all of the next by the time Riley gets moving. Bianca is laughing the whole way down.

By the time Bianca reaches the last set of stairs, she takes a look behind her and sees Riley only half a set behind her; with a look of determination on his face. She looks back ahead of her and takes a step at the same time. She skids on the step and almost falls down the rest of the set, but quickly regains balance, just as Riley was coming up behind her. Bianca sticks out her arm to keep Riley behind her, and hits the last step. She sprints out of the door and straight to the side of the van; Riley right next to her.

They hit the van at the same time.

"I...think...we tied," Riley spits out in between gulps of air.

"I think we did too," Bianca says swallowing saliva and rewetting her dry throat, "Let's get this thing up there."

"Lemme...catch my...breath first," Riley says doubled over still getting air.

"You're out of shape, mister. We should work out a few days a week," Bianca says rubbing his back.

Riley lets out a laugh.

"Riiiiight," he says sarcastically.

Bianca rolls her eyes.

"You think I'm joking, don't you?" she asks with her hands on her hips.

"No, of course not," Riley says sarcastically, standing upright again.

Bianca shakes her head and opens the sliding door of the van to stand on the edge, so she can start taking the bungee cords off of the mattress and roof.

Riley grins and goes over to the other side to take the bungee cords off on the driver's side.

Riley gets his bungees off before Bianca does. She has one left before Riley yells to her.

"I'm gonna flip the mattress. Catch it and hold it 'til I get over there, okay?" he says.

"Wait! I have one more to get off," Bianca says jumping up.

"Alright, hurry up," he says.

Bianca gives a frustrated sigh as she snaps the last bungee off in Riley's direction.

"Oww," he says rubbing his head.

"Sorry, it slipped," she says in a monotone voice, with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, just catch this thing," he says tilting the mattress up.

"Let 'er rip," says Bianca at the ready.

Riley flips the mattress and Bianca catches it, but looses her balance on the edge of the van. She falls back to the sidewalk, getting her right foot stuck on the van in the process. She lets out something between a grunt and a scream. The mattress falls down on top of her.

"Riley! Help!" she screams, mostly muffled by the mattress.

Tears of pain sting the corners of her eyes. She can hear Riley's footsteps coming closer.

"Oh, shit," Riley says when he reaches the other side.

He quickly pulls the mattress off of Bianca and throws it to the sidewalk. He kneels down beside her and holds her head up.

"I'm so sorry, are you alright?" he asks nervously.

A/N: Another crappy chapter by your's truly. I'll try to have more out sooner than before...
