No one wanted to bring up the subject of why Raven was leaving flying.
Having heard how much he loved it, they assumed it wasn't a voluntary
leave. As much as Mac was dying to know, she would wait until he brought it
up himself. 'He will tell them us when he wants us to know. Unless Harm
already knew, he seemed to know so much all ready. Maybe it had something
to do with his father's murder.' She thought.
"Well, I don't know about you lawyer types, but if I don't get enough sleep I'm suckin' the next day. So I'm heading to bed." Raven finished up his grape juice and put his glass on the coffee table. "It was nice meeting you all. I'm looking forward to working with you."
The Next Morning
Raven was the first to wake. Dragging himself into the bathroom, he quickly undressed and jumped in the shower. Just like the nights past Raven's sleep was riddled with nightmares. But just like so many other things in his life, he learned to live with them. They became common place to him. He even toyed with the thought of missing them if they stopped. Anything was better then feeling numb inside again. Being alive was better then being emotionally dead. He was amazed how good pain felt after having felt nothing for so long. After finishing his shower, Raven slipped on a pair of mesh shorts and headed down to the kitchen to find some food.
When he entered the kitchen he was surprised to see Mac sitting at the table. She was still in her sleepwear and sipping a cup of hot tea. "I didn't wake you did I?" Mac asked as she noticed his presence in the room.
"No." Raven smiled. "I always wake up early. What are you doing up?" It was only five a.m. and with no set schedule he thought for sure they would have all slept in, at least a little.
"I couldn't sleep."
"I know the feeling. That's why I always wake up early." He grabbed a can of diet Coke from the refrigerator and sat down across from he at the table. "There were times when I was afraid to close my eyes."
