Danny looked between the two men who were glaring daggers at her, "Oh, I want to hear about this? Thought you only did stupid things like that around me cause you love to hear me ranting at you about much you seem to be center of-"
Steve rubbed at his temple , "Daniel my head is killing me so go home."
"Fine for now but will continue this later," he told him before leaving.
Travis rolled his eyes, "Quite a partner you have there."
Catherine sat next to him on the bed, "He does that because he cares."
He wrapped his good arm around her until she laid her head on his uninjured shoulder, "You both do and sure he will forget."
/*/*/*/
After three day stay Danny was there to spring him and had full intention on getting his partner to tell him about that cliff story and the ride back was in silence but what surprised him was that didn't request to head to the office so once they were at the house he made them cup of coffee and handed him pills they picked up, "So what's wrong?"
Steve settled down on the couch, "What are you going on about?"
"The fact you didn't want to drive and then no telling me you wanted to go to the office."
He rubbed his temple, "Danno, shut up."
"Were just worried about you after that fall you took and knock to the head that still is giving you grief. So do tell about the cliff dive?"
"Have no idea what your-"
"Uh huh, I saw the look you shot her after said that and know there's something behind it."
Steve, Travis and Freddy had dragged another friend Javier after a long and hard mission and since they were stuck there for another few days waiting for transport back home ran across Catherine who was on leave and decided to go blow off some steam in the forest. Travis and Catherine stating, "Only going to make sure you come back alive."
Soon they were all running no where in particular until they stopped for breath and Javier was soon arguing with Freddy over some football game that watched the night before but escalated to wrestling around on the ground until suddenly there was a gunshot pierced the air. All of them on alert as three man holding M9 and started firing at them. With no where to go they started running from the gunman who followed where soon Steve and Freddy had taken out two of them while Javier did another one. Travis got caught up in a wrestling match with one of them and missed edge of the cliff that over looked a river until was to late both falling over.
Rest of the friends watched as both men were falling and Steve of course had to jump in there while they ran down the cliff making it there well after all three men hit the water. Travis was knocked unconscious when hit the water but somehow his friend wasn't and soon pulling him to shore. They were glad their friend was knocked out but breathing, "That was the dumbest thing to do Smooth Dog," Freddy told his friend.
"If hadn't he would have drowned and never would have found him," he told them but all knew he was right. "Better get him back."
"And both of you into dry clothes," Javier told them.
Back at their hotel Steve got out of the shower, "You shouldn't have done that," Travis told him. "Could have been killed."
"And if hadn't we would have been searching for days to find you," he told him. "Never leave a man behind or let him drown."
"Guess should offer to buy everyone a drink? After scaring you all like that especial your girl."
He rolled his eyes, "She isn't my girl."
"No, she just followed us because she to was stuck here and bored out of her mind."
"That's exactly what she said."
"And you two don't just hook up every time have the chance and never make it to dinner."
He frowned but shoved his friend shoulder, "Let's go find them before drink all the beer around here."
"So this doing stupid stuff before thinking isn't new? Always been daring death?"
"Danny, if hadn't jumped in there after him would have drowned like the other man and never found his body," he told him.
"Uh huh, you guys probably did that on regular basis in some form or another."
He laughed wincing immediately, "Only out of a plane normally with a parachute though."
"And even back then were ignoring your feeling for each other."
He rolled his eyes, "No we weren't around each other that much back than and you know."
"Basically the same thing that was happening until you two got married."
"And the bad thing about that is? Gabby and you were the same way until put a name to your thing."
