A/N So, here's the second chapter. Think maybe three or four more chapter before the ending, but hey, you never know.

Previously:

"15 grand and he doesn't get what the big deal is?" Jules asked Allison as they were collecting their gear.

"Yep.. Ed couldn't have picked a bigger douche."

"Well, at least he's paying you back."

"Yeah.. I'll believe that when I've got the money on my account."

…

Allison and Jules had done rock, paper, scissors for the front seat and Allison had won. She sat down next to Ed and regretted it the second he opened his mouth.

"Allison.."

"What?" She tried to sound annoyed.

"I'm sorry for setting you up with that guy." He looked at her for a second before focusing back on the road.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"No.."

"Okay."

"Really, that's it?" He asked surprised.

"No, but it's a start." She glanced back out the window.

"Okay." Ed focused back on the road fully.

"Hot call, team one."

"Guess quiet time is over." Ed said before pulling the car around while Allison turned on the sirens and lights.

…

"Allison, Damian called again and left a message." Winnie called out as team one walked past her desk towards the briefing room.

"What did he say?"

"He couldn't bring you the check but if you showed up wearing this.." She grabbed something from under the counter and put it on top. "At 7 at his place you would get it." Allison took a look at the dress, the price card from the store was still on it. The nerve off this guy, 1999,95 dollars. She looked around at her team standing behind her and then back to Winnie.

"Stuck up rich kid.. You've got his number?"

"Yep."

"Call him back for me and hand me a headset will you?" She nodded and handed her a headset before calling him back.

"Damian."

"Listen to me you big bag of shit.." She could see the reflection of her team in a window, they were all surprised.

"Allison.."

"No, I said listen. You did all the talking last night."

"Allison.."

"No, listen to me you jackass. I am not meeting you for dinner. Not tonight not any other night. Because you are a self-centered jackass. You owe me almost 15 grand and I will get it back one way or another. If you don't have that check in SRU tonight before my shift ends I swear I will do what you asked and come by your place. Only I won't be wearing a dress but I will barge in and destroy 1 item that looks expensive. I will do so every day until you give me my money back. And I will keep the dress hostage. Did I make myself clear?" There was no reaction. "You can talk now.."

"Yes, you've made yourself clear."

"Good, you know where to drop that check off." She took the headphones off and handed them back to Winnie. "Thanks." She smiled at her. Allison turned around to see her team still staring at her. "What?"

"Now that's negotiating." Greg joked. "So, let's debrief guys." Greg said while they were moving to the briefing room.

…

"Allison, that looks like Damian." Greg said while pointing to the front desk. They were finishing up on debriefing.

"Let him wait."

"We're finished Allison, go scare the shit out of him some more." Ed said, smiling at her. She nodded and got up.

"Damian." She said as she approached him. He turned around and smiled at her.

"Hey, so I've got the money for you." He said and held out a check. She checked the amount, 15.000 dollars. "I uuh, round it up."

"Okay, thanks." She accepted the check.

"So, I'm sorry if you think I'm a.. big bag of shit."

"Yeah well, you acted like it all night." He smiled and nodded.

"No one ever talked like that to me before."

"Must be your money, if you can wait here I can go get the dress from my locker."

"No, uuh, keep the dress. It's nice, I'm sure some guy will love seeing you in it." She smiled at him, he was kind of sweet after she scared him. He turned around to leave.

"Oh, Damian, if this check bounces.."

"You'll hunt me down and break something that looks expensive?" She smiled and nodded.

"I'll start with the Lamborghini."

"That won't be necessary." He smiled before getting into the elevator.

…

"So, drinks at the goose?" Spike asked as they all moved to the locker-room. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I have to go to the bank first, but I'll meet you there." Allison smiled at him before moving into the locker-room.

"That's a beautiful dress." Jules said looking at the dress inside Allison's locker.

"Yes, yes it is." Allison smiled before putting on her jacket. "See you at the goose."

…

"So, this Damian.." Wordy said, looking at Ed. "You sure you didn't do it on purpose?"

"You wouldn't.. would you?" Spike asked.

"I didn't.."

"Pffieuw, don't want to be on her bad side." Sam said, smiling at his team mates. Not knowing she was standing behind him. "Really Ed, if I were you I would make sure she isn't mad at you, she might call you a big bag of shit." Allison leaned in close to Sam, he still hadn't noticed.

"Wouldn't that make him a big bald bag of shit?" Sam visibly jumped.

"Jesus.. don't creep up on me like that."

"Watch it, or you're going to be on my bad side." She smiled as she sat down with her beer.

"Really though, 'I'm going to hold the dress hostage'?" Spike said.

"No, I still think the 'Listen you big bag of shit', Was pretty awesome." Greg said.

"I thought the fact that you scared him so hard he didn't talk at all was pretty amusing." Jules smiled at her.

"Where did you find him anyway, Ed?" Allison asked.

"A friend of Roy's, met him once and he seemed a decent guy."

"Hmm," She said finishing her drink. "Well, he wasn't." She grabbed her coat and got up. "I should get going."

"Why?" Sam asked. "You always leave so early."

"Yes, I always Skype with my parents on Friday. They expect me on in.." She checked her watch. "15 minutes so I have to get going."

"Come on, one drink. I'll buy it for you, think I owe you that. Just text them you'll be a half an hour late?" Ed said, getting up to get her another beer.

"No, they can only Skype for a half an hour. I'll take that drink some other time though. See you on Monday guys." She smiled before leaving.

"How is it that you can only Skype for half an hour?" Sam said, they were all thinking it.

"Maybe they have internet with a time stamp?" Ed asked.

"Like that exists.." Spike said. "Maybe she just didn't want your drink."

…

"So, how was Skyping with your parents?" Jules asked when she walked into the locker-room.

"Good, they were happy to know I'm still alive."

"How is it that you can only Skype in that time?" Allison sighed. "Come on, it's me.."

"You can't tell the guys.."

"I won't."

"They don't have internet, so once a week they go to an internet café so they can Skype with me."

"Oh. Why.."

"They don't have the money for it, and I can't pay it for them because I already help them out with the rent and my dad's too proud."

"You help them out with the rent?"

"Yes, they can't make it by themselves anymore. Not with this economy.. So I sent my parents money so they can make their rent. Which is why I'm happy to have the money back, it's not just my life." She smiled at Jules. "Don't tell the guys."

"I won't, so you brought back the dress?"

"I tried, they didn't except it. So I'm just going to keep it and wear it sometime special."

"Tonight?"

"Pff, Wordy's guy.. Just hope he turns out better then my last date. Just three more dates to go."

"That bad?"

"Nah, I just hope one of them makes it to the second date."

"You're pretty picky."

"That I am."

"I was right on your type though, right?"

"Guess you'll never know." She smiled at Jules while thinking 'more than you know'.

"Come on, let's go before our big bald bag of shit comes for us." Jules said, making Allison chuckle.

"Watch it, he just might hear you." They both turned around to head out to find Ed standing there.

"So, big bald bag of shit?" Ed smiled at Jules.

"Allison said it first." She said when she walked past Ed.

"Hey, I was only joking yesterday." She held up his hands in defense.

"Sure you were, come on. Let's hit the mats." He turned around and walked towards the door. Allison groaned, not sparring with Ed.. "I heard that."

…

He helped her up, again.. He had dropped her down on the mat a million times now.

"You're speedy today." She moved back into the right stance before attacking.

"Must be the aerodynamics because he's bald." Wordy said from the bike, making Allison laugh. Ed didn't have mercy and swiped her feet from under her. Making her hit the mat with a loud thud.

"Do you have to be so rough?" She joked as she got back up.

"Oh, according to Jules' profile you like it rough." He smiled at her. She looked around if anyone else had heard before taking a step closer. Invading his personal space a little.

"I believe Jules said dominant, not rough." She smiled back at him, daring him.

"Oh, I can be very dominant." He took a step closer, they were now standing chest to chest. She smiled flirtatiously at him, inched closer and then swiped his feet from under him.

"I'm sure you can." She said looking down at him.

"Now that's unfair." He said from the ground.

"How's that unfair, you should always use your strengths." She extended her hand to him to help him up.

"And yours is flirting?" He smiled and accepted the hand.

"Yep."

"You should spare your powers, you've got another date tonight."

"Ow, I'm aware."

"Gonna wear your new dress?" He joked while grabbing his water bottle.

"Nah, gonna save it for someone special."

"Jules' date?"

"Maybe, but probably not."

"Team one hot call."

…

"Hey, so this is Jake." Wordy said, introducing him. "Jake, this is Allison." She smiled at him and took him in. He was wearing a Star Wars shirt, jeans and horrible shoes.

"Hey." Allison smiled at him and shook his hand.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked awkwardly looking at the ground.

"Sure."

"Really, Wordy?" Ed said once Jake and Allison left in the elevator.

"What? They could work out, he's like Spike."

"Okay, I do not look that nerdy." Everyone laughed.

…

"So, Jake.. What kind of work do you do?"

"I don't have a job."

"Then what do you do all day?"

"I manage my collection."

"Oh, okay. So what do you collect then?"

Allison smiled gently at him. It was a nice guy, he looked.. geeky, but he was a nice guy. She always thought she wouldn't meet a stereotypical nerd, but she just did. His hair was a mess, he was wearing big glasses and his thought of a nice date started with a comic store because there was something he had to pick up and then they would go to the arcade. Allison couldn't help but smile, she would probably have fun. He parked the car in front of the comic store.

"Come on, you'll see when we get inside." Allison nodded and got out. She was glad Wordy told her jeans and a shirt were good and she shouldn't dress up.

"Hey Jake!" Someone from behind the counter called out, apparently he came here more often.

"Hey, Petey." He turned back to Allison. "Come on, it's probably behind the counter." Allison smiled at him and looked around and finding that some guys were practically staring. "They.. don't see girls often." Jake smiled at her before walking to the counter. "So, got my special order yet?"

"Yes I do." Pete said before reaching down and grabbing something. Allison came to stand next to Jake. "Here you go." He put it on the counter.

"Figurines?" Allison asked him, wanting to say toy. "You collect.." She took a closer look. "Star.. Wars?"

"Yes, Star Wars, not Star Trek."

"Okay, Darthvader right?" Jake smiled up at her.

"Yes, didn't think you would recognize it."

"Don't expect more, I only know Darthvader and the robot with the blue stripe things." She joked.

"R2-D2" Jake said excited.

"If you say so." Allison picked up the toy. "So, what does this go for? If you don't mind me asking." She turned it all ways and took a look at it.

"Six."

"Six dollar?"

"No.."

"60?" She asked, wondering why anyone would pay 60 dollars for a toy like this.

"No.."

"Then what? 600?"

"Six thousand."

"Dollars?!" She quickly put the toy back down.

"Yes."

"Wow! For a.. figurine?"

"Yeah, it's from 1978 and it's rare. Only one batch made."

"That.. figurine is older than me.. Wow.."

"I would pay more than six grand for you." Pete said looking her up and down.

"That's.. creepy.." Allison looked around the store while Jake paid for the toy.

…

"So, how do you know Wordy?" Allison asked when they were back in the car, on their way to the arcade.

"Kevin? He's my brother."

"Aaah." Everything made much more sense now. "How old are you?"

"27, I know.. I'm a big kid collecting figurines."

"I wasn't going to say that."

"But you thought it."

"For a second." She smiled at him. He wasn't her type, at all, but he was a nice guy.

"See, so.. have you ever been to an arcade?"

"Once or twice when I was young. It's been at least 10 years."

"Wow, that's a long time."

"Yeah, it is." She smiled at him as they got out.

"You must be hungry after your long day, how about we get a hamburger or something first?" He said, pointing towards the diner across the street.

"Sure. My stomach is growling." She followed him to the diner.

..

'Setting me up with your nerdy little brother?' She texted Wordy when Jake went to the bathroom.

'Aah, he told you. Please be nice to him, he doesn't talk to girls much.'

'I'm always nice.. and I noticed, he's taking me to the comic book store, diner and arcade.'

'*sigh* Of course he does.. Just don't call him a big bag of shit.'

'Okay, but only because you asked so nicely.' She put her phone away when he came back.

"So, are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Sure."

…

"You have to try this game, it's not difficult." He said while he inserted his pass. "Just shoot the bad guys and don't hit the grandmother with a walker." She had watched him play it a couple of times, it seemed easy enough.

"Okay." She heard some guys behind her snicker. "What?" She turned around.

"It's just, I have held the record to this game for over a year now." One guy said.

"Yes took one of your brothers Star Wars figurines back then.." Allison glanced over at Jake.

"Ah, so you're good then?"

"Ow yeah, the best." He said stepping forward, obviously trying to impress her.

"Hmm, well for the record.. He isn't my brother he's my date." She glanced at Jake. "Was it an expensive figurine?" Jake nodded.

"Very."

"Okay, tell you what, big guy. If I beat your highscore in my first.. five tries, you give him back the figurine and leave him alone."

"Five? Pff, it took me months.. sure, five is good. What if I win?"

"Name it."

"A kiss." He pointed to his mouth. "With tongue." Allison thought for a second.

"Allison, you don't have to do this." Jake told her.

"I don't know what Wordy told you about me, but I never back down." She smiled at Jake before turning to the guy. "Deal." He looked surprised at her.

"Hope you got a breath mint with you." The guy said suggestively.

"Hope you are ready to say goodbye to your figurine."

Allison turned towards the machine and grabbed hold of the fake gun. She fucked up the first try on purpose, missing the targets completely and hitting all the granny's. She could hear the guys behind her laughing and making jokes. The second round she did better, almost making his high score. She noticed the jokes were starting to fade. The third try she nailed his high score and reached the final level. She wasn't able to finish the level though.

"Almost had it there." She said while Jake's name was blinking on first place. "So, tell me.. what's your name?"

"Johnny."

"Tell me, Johnny, are you going to get the figurine for me. Or do we need to go with you?" Jake was smiling broadly behind her.

"I'll go get it.." He grumbled while walking away.

"How did you.." Jake stared at her.

"I'm an expert marksman, Jake. Sure I can beat a videogame.." He smiled at her.

"Thanks, I loved that figurine."

"You're welcome. So, what game's next?"

"You can choose."

"Come on, let's play some airhockey. I actually know how that works." He smiled at her and followed her to the table.

"Would you've kissed him if you'd lost?" He asked a little into their game.

"Yes, I don't back down from a bet." She smiled at him. "Wouldn't have liked it though, and I definitely wouldn't have done it here." He smiled back at her.

He had kicked her ass in icehockey, they were about to start another match when Johnny walked up to Jake and handed him the figurine.

"Here.. it's still in the same condition." Jake accepted the figurine and examined it. It was still in the box.

"It is, thanks Johnny."

"Thanks, Johnny." Allison smiled at him.

"How about a losers kiss?" Johnny asked.

"Take your losses and go.." She smiled back at him and grabbed the airhockey-puck. "Let's do this, Jake."

…

"Thanks for tonight, Jake." She kissed him on his cheek and smiled when she saw him blush profusely.

"You're welcome."

"Have fun with your collection." She smiled before going in.
