"So let me get this straight."  Twenty-four hors after his fight with Danny, Vaughn sat in his living room, with an ice pack on stomach, and Weiss laughing at him.  "You went to her house to apologize, found Danny waiting outside for her, told him it was you she loves, then got in a fight with him, only to find she had left earlier to go see her father in Washington?"

"Yeah."  Vaughn winced as he shifted to a more comfortable position.  "I'm gonna call Francie tomorrow and ask for the number where Syd is staying."

"Now that I know is not a good idea."  Weiss frowned.  "She left to go see her sick dad, who she hasn't talked to in a while.  Mike, that's gotta mean she wants some time to think some things over."

"I have to talk to her."

"You have to, or to want to?"  Weiss sighed.  "She needs time dude."

"Love doesn't work one way."

"No kidding.  Look, wait a few days, then ask for the number."

"Fine."  Vaughn started to get all broody.  "But you know that if it turns out she goes back Danny cause I didn't call her, then I'm gonna…"

Weiss laughed.  "I know, kick my ass."
