I'm back! I hope that I don't keep too many people waiting on me to update
everyday. I'm trying to get so many chapters done so that I can post
sooner than usual (for me anyway). Thanks again to all the readers. God
bless you. I know that not a lot of action has happened yet, but we're
getting close.
Summary: This time, Gage and Kim talk, set up a prank, Trent and Gage duke it out, and that's where it ends. On to it. Note: I'm still Wolfsong.
Chapter three: This is going to be fun.
The next morning, Gage headed over to Thunder Investigations instead of the rangers' station as ordered. He meet Carlos and Kim there, and they all got Carlos ready in his disguise. Walker stopped by right before Carlos left and gave him the info he needed, then he was off. Walker left as well, and headed back to the rangers' station. Gage decided to stay and hang out with Kim.
"So, how long you known those two?" he asked as she handed him a cup of coffee, referring to Trent and Carlos.
"Since I started working here. How long have you and Sydney known each other?"
"Well, we've been partners for almost three years."
"And did you know each other before that?"
"Some. Yeah."
"Are you guys close?" Kim asked to try and open her new friend up some.
"Yeah. We watch each others backs all the time on and off duty. In our free time, we watch movies and hang out together."
"Sounds like you're close. That's good." Kim said noticing something else there. "Gage, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's just me, I guess." He was unsure if he wanted to go on about how he felt. She was already reading his mind.
"Let me guess; you want to get closer to her, but she keeps pushing you away."
"Are you physic or something?"
"No. I'm kinda going through the same thing." She said moving to the sofa, sitting next to him.
"Really? It doesn't seem like you would have trouble." Gage commented using his charm to ease the tension that had set in. The blue eyed blonde could do that well.
"Yeah. It just seems like he's too busy to notice."
"Are you guys close?" Gage asked with suspicion.
"Yeah. Yeah. We're real close. It just seems we can't get close. Do you see what I'm saying?"
"Yeah. At least he's not pushing you away when you try to get close. Everytime I try something, she pushes me away saying we can't be together."
"Well, maybe both of our lucks will change." Kim said raising her glass. They clashed glasses and drank to their odd luck.
About an hour after Carlos left, Trent and Sydney came into the office hearing the sound of a man and woman laughing hard and strong. They entered the office to find Gage and Kim sitting on the couch, cracking up. Trent asked, "What's so funny, guys?"
Kim said through her laughs, "Gage...just...told me...how he and Trivette...blew up...Jimmy's car and...the wedding tuxes."
Gage just sat there and laughed, then said, "We've been sitting here for the last hour exchanging stories." He informed everyone. He and Kim looked at each other and started laughing again. Sydney and Trent just looked at them and looked at each other, then instinctively, Sydney looked up. And there it was. A ball of cranberries hanging over their heads.
"You were expecting mistletoe, weren't you, Syd?" Gage teased then pulled a piece of mistletoe out and held it over his head, and said, "Any takers?"
Kim took that as a cue. Little did the two know that Gage and Kim had planned that to see their reactions and it had worked. She landed a kiss on him so hard that if he hadn't have been sitting down he would have fallen over.
The looks on Sydney and Trent's faces were priceless. That shocked her so much, she wanted to floor Kim. She quickly spit out a comment to make up for the silence. "That's funny, Gage. I thought you would try something else on me."
"Why should I?" he asked smiling, Kim's hands resting on his arm and shoulder. "Everytime I try to get a kiss from you it usually gets me hurt."
"So you're giving up?" Syd asked unsure about whether to more shocked that her partner would give up on kissing her than Kim kissing him. "I just thought I'd see who was willing to give me a kiss, and not have to work for it." he said getting up. He walked to the door, opened it, then turned back. "I'll pick you up at twelve, Kim. I'm going to the gym."
"Bye." she yelled after him. "If you two aren't doing anything, Sydney and I need to go pick out dresses."
"We're not doing anything until Walker calls." Trent informed.
"Good. Come on, Sydney. This is going to be fun. Finally another woman to hang out with. See ya, Trent." Kim yelled out the door. Following behind, Sydney yelled bye to Trent as well. Standing alone in his office he replayed what had just happened. Confused, he decided to head to the gym. Looking at every gym he could think of before he finally remembered that Gage was a ranger and headed to the station. He asked at the front desk, and headed to the gym.
When Trent entered, he saw Gage near the front by a punching bag. He walked over there, slapped Gage on the back, then quickly blocked an elbow to the head.
"Whoa, whoa. Hold on there, Gage. It's just me." Trent said pulling Gage's arm down.
"Oh, Trent...sorry. Reaction. Nice block."
"Thanks."
"What are you doing here?" Gage asked toweling himself off.
"Well, the girls went shopping for dresses about an hour ago. I forgot you were a ranger." He smiled embarrassed.
"Sydney's a ranger, too. My partner."
"Yeah. I know that. I thought...since we're going to be working together we should know each other better."
"Sydney won't talk about me." Gage said hitting the bag a few more times. Trent stepped behind and held the bag.
"In fact, she's talked a lot about you. Mostly how you've been trying to kiss her lately."
"Do you have a problem with that?"
"No. No problem. Just wondering why."
"That's none of you business." He hit the bag harder that time.
"What's wrong? Worried I'm going to take your place? As I see it, that can't happen."
"Oh...why not?" Gage asked moving to the mat.
Trent saw it as a challenge and threw his jacket on the ground. "Because...she cares for you."
"Of course she does. She's my partner." Though he knew that just because they were partners, didn't mean she cared about him.
"That's not it." Trent said following the circle they were walking.
"What makes you think you know us? Huh? You've seen us one day and you're ready to tell me how the partner I've had for three years feels about me? What authority do you have?" Gage was getting furious. He started to charge Trent.
"You don't want to do this." Trent warned.
"You going to wipe the floor with me, or something?"
They collided. Blow after blow each was still standing. Gage had busted Trent's lip. Trent had returned that blow by kicking Gage in the face, cutting his eyebrow. The fight was ending. Both showed their skills well, but it seemed that Trent was going to beat Gage. In an instant that changed. With one swift kick to the abdomen, Trent hit the ground barely able to breath. Gage looked down at the beaten PI, picked up the shirt that had been ripped off, and walked out grabbing his coat on the way. Leaving everyone stunned.
End chapter three. Four coming. Okay the thought of Gage and Trent fighting is just too much to think about without smiling. Enjoy! *^_^*
