After a long day in the office, Larten finished signing a string of documents. A client called. "Hello, GSG headquarters, this is Larten Speaking. "Can you get my cat down from a tree, sir? I'm way too old to do it myself," a woman said. Larten was frustrated, this particular person had called them on and off, cramming the goddamn phone lines. "No, now please hang up before I do something I'll regret. – Hands wrapped around his shoulders, working them. "Relax, darlin'," a voice whispered. Larten found himself giving in to the subtle ministrations being applied – "Fine, I'll get someone down, but keep an eye on that cat in the future," the vampire said. The woman thanked him before hanging up the phone. He turned around to find Leonard McCoy looking at him a rather amused look on his face. "What is so funny, doctor?" "Nothin', just have never seen you close to snapping at a customer at least, not like this." The vampire got up from his desk, the doctor following him like a personal body guard, then again, he kind of didn't need the guarding, he was a rather quick fighter at heart. McCoy looked at all of Larten's documents where a form should have been signed… they were blank! He took the documents, writing them in his own scrawling signature, if anyone noticed this happening he'd personally test their memory capacity. He went over to Zero, whispering instructions to the android. He nodded silently. "Understood, no one will know this, and if anyone questions this, send them to you? McCoy nodded. He took Larten by the hand, leading him out of the cubical, before taking him out the door to the car.

Bones and Larten broke contact before getting into the cammero. Bones was driving while Larten was riding shotgun. The 2 drove around in silence for a bit, before Bones broke it. "Long day?" Larten nodded. "Some people can be idiots sometimes." He nodded before putting a free hand on the vampire's shoulder. "I could use a drink tonight, the day hasn't been very good for me either. "You lose a patient?" "Yeah, we lost a person in there 30's, him and the wife were going to raise a family." Larten sighed. That is a sad experience." "Jim giving you any trouble?" Bones gave the vampire a smile. "No, and as much trouble as he gives me most of the time, it's not worth it, you know." Larten nodded, People like Jim Kirk were what made the world go round, of course he wouldn't tell the glorified kid that, but he knew it, and from the smile reflected on McCoy's face, the doctor did, too. "I hope they get that cat out of that tree, because paradise knows I'm not doing it. Bones smiled, he knew how cats and vampires got along... He had brought a cat into their dwelling..., and Larten was in the hospital from multiple cat clawing and bites. The 2 pulled up to the bar, before getting out. "You ready?" Larten nodded. "Yes. The 2 went into the bar together.

Inside the bar, the 2 ordered a drink each, McCoy getting the usual burban, Larten sharing with the doctor. "McCoy tasted the Burban, the drink running down his throat. The 2 stopped, the doctor had a buzz going, the vampire was tougher to get drunk, but he didn't want to try tonight, there was no need for it. "So, going to spend time with Joanna?" McCoy nodded. "Ya know, after all the things I had to go through to get her back?" Larten nodded, before catching McCoy's grin. "So, how long have you been a guardian for?" Larten pondered the question before smiling. "It is hard to know how long I have been active for as a guardian, you get the sword…" McCoy nodded. "From that point on, nothing stays the same, and the history you had is altered at every implication. "How do you keep yours intact, Bones?" The doctor smiled, putting a hand on Larten's shoulder. "My friends help me."

Later on, the 2 got their checks, both were full, of food and drink. The doctor for his troubles got a chicken salad and some other healthy things, while Larten got a burger, some fries, and a strawberry pie. The 2 walked back to the camero, where Bones took the driver seat, and Larten taking shotgun once again. "This was a good night, bones." McCoy gave the vampire a smile. "Glad you enjoyed it, Larten." Their hands met in the middle of the radio for a second, before Bones hand squeezed the vampire's own. "Ya think we'll get home without fallin' asleep in the car?" Larten was going to nod, but his eyes wanted to close. McCoy saw this than began to smile softly at the vampire. "Get some sleep, I'll get ya out, somehow." Larten's eyes closed, and the vampire fell asleep. He wouldn't forget this night, and from the look on the doctor's face, he wouldn't, either.
