Two months later
Alex looked up from her work when she heard the door open. She watched Donovan walk in like it was any other normal day. Today wasn't a normal day. "Donovan, what are you doing here?" she asked. She was surprised he came into work.
"Last time I checked I still work here." he replied walking up to his office.
Monica and Cody walked into the briefing area. "Was that Donovan's voice?" she asked.
"I didn't think he was coming to work today." Cody added.
"Neither did I." Alex replied.
Jake walked into the building. "Is that Donovan's car out there?" he asked, "I thought today was."
"It was." Monica cut in.
"It's going to be a cheery day." Cody said walking over to his computer.
Donovan sat in his chair, back to the door. He leaned back and closed his eyes. He kept replaying the past couple days in his head. "What do you want Alex?" he asked.
"You know," she started to say, "you need to teach me that."
Donovan turned in the chair to face her. "Teach you what?" he asked.
"How to know someone is there. So you can stop sneaking up on me," she explained.
"What do you want?" he asked again.
"We need to know that you're okay." she replied, "Today was the service right?"
"Yes."
"And you came here?" she asked.
"I have paperwork to do," he stated, avoiding her eyes.
"Yea, whatever," Alex said rolling her eyes at him. "If you need to talk."
"What I need to do, Agent Cross," Donovan growled, "is to go back to work."
Alex walked back down to where Jake and Monica were standing. She looked at them and shook her head. "What ever happened between those two shook him."
"Good morning everyone." Tom smiled walking into the room.
"Great, just what we need." Alex said reaching for a cigarette.
"Go home." Donovan said walking down the stairs. "I'm giving you the day off."
"Are you sure?" Monica asked looking at Jake
"You're not going to kill each other are ya?" Cody asked.
"Tom and I have some unfinished business." Donovan stated, "This will be the only time I give you a day off."
"Okay, let's go." Cody said grabbing his coat and heading out the door.
"Drinks are on me." Alex said lighting her cigarette.
"Cody?" Jake asked.
"Thanks, but I have other plans." he replied.
