"Hold on Henry, Fang down man, we are just agreeing to disagree, nothing serious," Mike said while throwing his hands up in surrender.
Henry relaxed, unclenchd his fists and went to stand next to Vicki. He protectively slipped his arm around her waist and she leaned into him. Even a month ago, she would have never done that, butshe had only recently become more open, more trusting with Henry.
Mike was pacing again and Henry was tempted to vamp him, to see what was going on when he heard a voice in his head, don't even think about it! It was Vicki's voice letting him know that she wouldn't be happy with him. Vicki liked this new ability, thanks to her sister Maggie who was schooling her on things.
"Mike, I sense that you are disturbed, what exactly is going on?" Mike stopped pacing and stared at Henry.
"Really, you SENSE that I am distrubed, well gee whiz, I can see why we needed HIS help!" Mike said with exasperation, throwing his hands up and shaking his head. Vicki felt Henry tense beside her and she tightened her grip on him and shook her head no.
"Mike, he's just trying to understand, that's all. Explian everything to him, just like you did to me."
Mike did as Vicki told him with Henry listening intently. When he was finished, Henry told Vicki that he was telling the truth, or at least Mike thought he was telling the truth.
"Mike, did this man say anything else to you, anything at all?" Henry asked. Mike thought for a moment and then said, "Yeah, he said I"ll see you in three days."
Vicki and Henry looked at each other, "Looks like we've got three days to figure this "John Smith" out," said Vicki.
Onre more thing detective, did anyone else see him?" Mike looked at him and said, "What?! Of couirse, Kate was there and a couple of other cops, why wouldn't they?" Henry looked at Mike and said, "Because maybe your are the only one that can see him, maybe he belongs only to you."
Henry sensed fear, but Mike showed anger, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Oh, I get it, you two hook up, you think I'm jealous and now I'm crazy. Well, you know what? Screw you, both of you! I'm sorry I came!" With that, Mike took off for the door. Vicki broke loose from Henry and started after him, "Mike, wait..." she was pleading.
Henry stopped her, "No." he whispered, "let him go, he's scared, angry, he'll be okay." Vicki looked at Henry, fear in HER eyes, "Henry, you know we've dealt with a lot of weird stuff, I'm afraid for him. Promise me you'll look after him." Crap. Why couldn't he tell Vicki Nelson no? Why?
"So, you want your current "lover" to guard your old one?" he said with that charming smile. She pur her arms around his waist, he drank in her scent and immediately became aroused.
She looked up at him her eyes filled with desire, "Is that what you think you are to me, a "lover", nothing more?"
He grinned and said, "I think you know better..." He kissed her passionately. He pulled back, not really wanting to sighed and said, "To answer your question, my queen, yes, I will watch after him."
She smiled and said, "Okay, now let me thank you appropriately." He picked her up and carried her toward the bedroom, while they explored each other's mouths the entire way...
