Tom sat at the long table that was in the conference room. He leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. The blond was trying to read a book. His mind was elsewhere. He flipped through the pages absently.

"You know you're reading that upside down," a voice came up behind him.

The young male jumped slightly, looking wildly behind him. When he didn't see anybody, he turned back to the book. He knew exactly who was behind him. White face makeup or not, it was the man that he was upset with,

"Shut up Skinner," he mumbled.

"Just trying to help," Skinner said shrugging even though the blonde couldn't see him do it.

Tom let out a breath. He put the book on the table and stood up from his spot. He turned to where he thought the other male was standing. The invisible man grabbed the other male's shoulders and directed him to where he actually was.

"Listen I thought you would look good in that dress honestly," Skinner said.

"Lemme grab my rifle."

"No you don't laddie," Quartermain said, watching them from the doorway. "You two have to work it out now."

With that Quartermain shut the door. Sawyer whimpered slightly when Skinner pulled him into a hug. Tears ran down the blonde's face.
