Nambu was sitting at his desk when his team came running in. They had all returned from a vacation, and each had for once gone their own way. So they were just seeing each other for the first time in three weeks. He looked at them, and thought how rested they looked, how happy. He was glad, but now it was back to business.

"Hi, did you miss us?" Ask a active Jinpei with a smile.

"Now why would I do that, it's been so quiet around here." He teased the boy. He looked at Ryu who was eating a burger and seemed relaxed. Then Joe, he stood there, smirking, and Nambu could only guess what he had been up to, while he was away. Maybe he should be tested.

Nambu looked at the others, Jun was smiling, still pale without a tan. He didn't think she could get one. She had a box in her hand. She went over to his desk and handed it to him.

"Here you go, a present sir." He took it and smiled at the girl warmly.

"I appreciate it, Jun. That was very nice of you."

"I don't need to ask if you had fun. Glad you are all back now. Missed you. Got some surprises for you. While you were gone we improved your uniforms, and your vehicles. You will see later. I invite you all to dinner tonight, before we start work again tomorrow." Ken came over and perched on the edge of the table on one hip. Something about him was different, but Nambu couldn't put a finger on it. Ken was watching Jun.

"Okay, usual time." Said Ken, as he got up and moved over to Jun. "Jun, want to go to a movie later?" Jun looked at him in shock.The others were having problems with their hearing they thought.

"Okay, if you are sure." Replied Jun, not sure what was going on. She glanced at Joe, who just gave her look that said he didn't know either. But go for it.

"Great, we will go after dinner. I have a few things to do, see you later." His smile, was warm and there was something in his eyes. Jun lost herself in them, and found herself smiling back. He turned and left.

"Wow, Jun. Did I hear right? Ken actually ask you out? Is Ken feeling alright?"

"Don't listen to Ryu, Jun. Go for it, you have been waiting for this. Maybe while on vacation he made a decision." Joe walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, giving her a hug. "If he gets out of line, you just tell me. I will teach him to behave." Jun couldn't help but smile at the wink, though she knew he meant it.

"Okay, big brother." She turned and left, on her way to her Snack J. Joe gave a jaunty wave to Nambu and followed her out. The other two just looked at each other, and left, talking as they did.

Jun was checking out her place and thinking to herself. She wondered about Ken's change of heart. Why? She smiled at the thought of being alone with him in a darkened theatre later. He was gorgeous and she wanted him. She felt butterflies in her stomach, and she wondered what to wear. It had to be special, but not so much that Ken would notice and comment. She turned and ran up the stairs like a school girl with her first date. She had to check her closet, or go shopping. What color, style and what about her hair.

Joe was in his car going down the highway. He had missed his car, and he was reveling in the feel of it now. He was wearing his new racing gloves he had picked up in Italy. The wind was blowing his hair as he drove. The next turn off, he could speed up and race her full out. It was good to be back with his family, he had missed them. But he wouldn't admit that to them.

Ken was up in his airplane flying. The ground beneath, and the buildings, and cars so tiny. It looked like a checkerboard, he loved the feel of flying. He thought of dinner tonight, and his plans for later. He wondered if it was too soon...but then changed his mind. He smiled as he thought of the pretty brunette with the green eyes. Later, my sweet.
