Abby had gone straight to bed the night before and Mark decided not to try talking to her. They were not compatible, that was the bottom line. He decided the best thing to do was try to get along until this was all over and then they could go there separate ways.
Abby woke up and stretched wincing at the pain in her shoulder. She looked over to see Mark lying awake watching TV. They hadn't really spoken after Glen left last night. She figured she owed him an apology for kicking him; she had lost her temper because she was jealous, Mark had hit the nail on the head and it had pissed her off. She knew her behavior was unprofessional.
"Mark I'm sorry I kicked you last night." Abby said.
Mark looked up surprised.
"Hey we both got out of hand; sorry about the crap I said too, I'm sorry I left ya at the arena." Mark said.
Abby nodded glad that was settled.
"I'm off for four days, what ya want to do?" Mark asked.
Abby shrugged.
Mark got up and picked up the phone. He dialed a number and Abby heard him talking to his son.
"Lucas I want to see ya, but I cant right now." Mark said.
She saw that Mark was upset; of course he missed his son.
"Son don't cry, daddy will get to see ya soon." Mark said.
Mark talked to his sister for a few minutes and then hung up.
Mark slammed the phone down and began to pace.
"I haven't seen him since this shit began, and he don't understand why I can't, he's too little." Mark said frustrated.
Abby thought for a moment, she had an idea that might work.
"You got the next four days off right?" Abby asked.
"Yea." Mark said wondering what she was getting at.
"How would you like to see your son?" Abby asked.
"Aint that to dangerous?' Mark asked.
"Mark I wont do anything to endanger your son. I know a place where we can meet up with them. Nobody has been there in years. Nobody would know where were at. We won't tell anyone, not even John, the less people who know the safer we are. I have my own plane; I'll have my pilot pick up your son and sister and leave a car for them at the airport." Abby said.
Mark looked excited. He missed his son terribly.
"Abby that would be great if we could work it out." Mark said excited at the thought of seeing his son.
"Let me make a few phone calls and work out the details." Abby said.
Mark watched as Abby called and made the arrangements. He was overjoyed at the thought of seeing his boy.
Abby got off the phone and had Mark call his sister with the details with a strict warning not to tell anyone of there plans. Abby heard the joy in Mark's voice when he told his son he would be seeing him tomorrow. Abby went to take a shower and give Mark some privacy.
Mark packed his stuff and watched Abby out of the corner of his eye. She seemed edgy about something.
"Abby thank you for doing this, but why are ya, we aint exactly best friends, why would you go to all this trouble for me?" Mark asked.
Abby zipped her bag up and turned around to face Mark.
"Your son needs you. Kid's shouldn't have to be away from there parents, it hurts, and your right he's too little to understand, all he knows is he don't have his daddy." Abby said.
Mark could read her own pain in the answer. Abby might try to hide it, but deep down she was a good person.
"Well I thank you for whatever reason yer doing it." Mark said.
"Your welcome." Abby said.
There was a knock at the door.
Abby checked the peephole then opened the door.
"Hey sweetheart." Glen said.
"Hey Glen." Abby said smiling at Glen.
Glen walked in and seen they were packed.
"So where are you two taking off to?" Glen asked.
"We're going to get away by ourselves for a couple of days." Mark said.
"Good, you two kids have fun, and no more fighting." Glen said.
Mark laughed.
"Yes Dad." Mark said.
Glen reached out and snagged Abby and gave her a hug. Abby hugged him back. Abby really liked Glen, he was a sweet and kind person, you didn't run across to many people like Glen.
Glen looked over at Mark who was glaring at him and decided to have some fun.
Glen tilted Abby head up and gave her a light kiss on the lips.
"What the fuck are ya doing, that's my wife!" Mark bellowed.
Glen burst out laughing.
"Guys I got to tell you, I know you're not married; I was in the bathroom of our locker room one day and heard all the details of your little cover story." Glen said grinning.
Abby gasped in shock and so did Mark.
"Mark I told you that bitch you married was going to be nothing but trouble, now she's got her boy friend trying to kill you." Glen said.
Abby started laughing.
"Glen you're such a sneak." Abby said.
"Yea I know." Glen said.
"So how much do you know exactly?' Abby asked.
"That you're an agent trying to protect him and that you're pretending to be married." Glen said.
"Glen you have to keep this to yourself." Abby said.
"Don't worry, you guys can trust me." Glen said.
Abby nodded for some odd reason she did trust Glen.
"I'm taking this stuff down to the car." Abby said.
"I'll be down in a minute." Mark said.
Abby nodded figuring he wanted to talk to Glen.
Abby left and Mark turned to Glen.
"We need to have a talk buddy." Mark said.
