DW: So here is the update I promised you guys and it is going to be short perhaps

Disclamer: nothing is in my name so I dont anything

Duncan, Courtney, and Malone were back in the day at England in 2006 on June 12. They were in the center of Englands most biggest festival of the summer. People were everywhere at vendors admiring the sights. Courtney looked up at Big Ben which just let out a loud three loud rings signaling that it was three o' clock exactly.

"Okay it's three now so we have until eight o' clock before until you die Malone" Duncan said smiling. "We got some time to kill so you wanna grab a bite to eat Court?"

Malone cut his eyes up at the Big Ben, "Courtney there is somethings that I really want to do before I um...die again. I'll catch you guys later and don't forget to be back here later" he kissed Courtney on the cheek and glared at Duncan before walking into the crowd. "So you didn't answer my question Courtney, you wanna get something to eat or not?" He draped his arm over her shoulder and led her into the crowd.

"What about Malone?" she asked pushing people out the way. Duncan shrugged, "He's alive...for now. Come live a little, I bet you didn't even get to see England because you were working a case, right?"

Duncan was right on the money she didn't get to see England because she was always working. Duncan pulled her to a vender who was selling fish and chips. "Two baskets please" Duncan ordered. The man nodded and began to prepare the food, "Duncan you are not going to make me eat a lot on this trip. We are on a case" she reasoned.

Duncan paid the man and carried the food and Courtney's hand over to the water where they sat on the wooden benches. "Yeah babe we're on a case that's already been closed. We know whats going to happen to the guy. So just relax and open your mouth and taste. He fed her some of the fish and chips and let his hand linger on her mouth a bit.

Courty blushed and pulled away savoring the taste of the food. "That was really good, I've always wanted to try some of this when I came here" she said wiping her mouth with a napkin. "You know what I would love right now!" she said taking another bite. "I would like some spaghetti and garlic bread. I haven't had a good Italian meal in a while".

Duncan thought a moment and then her popped right up. "You remember that little resturant that we met at, back in Italy. My uncle runs the whole resutrant and I swear that he makes the best noodles and garlic bread in all of Italy." He grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the end of the water. "Duncan we cannot go to Italy and be back in time for the incident". Duncan spotted a boatsman and yelled over to him then he turned his attention back to Courtney, "He doesn't live exactly in Italy but on the outskrits of town".

"Hey man, how much for the boat ride to Italy?" Duncan asked. The boatsman thought a moment and said, "Whats the occasion?"

Duncan glanced back at Courtney and then whispered something in the mans ear. His face turned red and he laughed, "Oh my friend you can take my boat for your um...visit. I hope everything works out alright" he handed him the keys and untied the boat from the dock. Duncan took Courtney's hand and helped her in the boat. He turned the boat on and it roared to life, "Get ready for the night of your life princess. Next stop, uncle Gus's resturant".

DW: Yes I know it sucked you don't have to tell me! Oh and the fact that it's short, maybe when I get some ideas straight it will be better next time I promise you! Oh no now I feel all bad about giving you such a short chapter! Alright I'm going to write more, like now!

After a while of riding in that speed boat, they had reached a small pier right outside of Italy. Duncan docked the boat and turned off the motor, he looked over at Courtney who had fallen asleep on the ride. He tapped her lightly on the head and she jerked right up in her seat, she looked around and yawned, "Where are we?"

She took Duncan's hand and he helped her up, "This is my second home away from home in Canada. My uncle Gus's resturant home of some of the greatest Italian food in Italy". The streets were quiet with the exceptions of a few people wandering the cobble stone streets, people had like gas lights on already, very romantic.

Hand in hand they walked down a few blocks while Courtney listened to more of Duncan's childhood stories when he was Italy. "So that's why I'm banned from the island of Crete" he finished. Courtney was in histerics from laughing so hard, she wiped the tears from her eyes. "I haven't laughed this hard since...never!"

Duncan frowned, "Sounds like you need some new friends princess". Courtney calmed down a bit, "No no, I love my friends, there is nobody on Earth who can replace them." she said seriously. Duncan smiled and understood her concept, "Come the resturant is just around the corner". They walked for a bit until they could smell the scent of rich tomatoe sauce and bread. The light was on in the house part of the resturant and they could see uncle Gus and Sheila in the kitchen slicing food into a large pot on the stove.

Duncan winked at Courtney and tapped on the glass window instead of the door, causing Gus to cut his finger while slicing an onion. He glared at the person who had distracted him and when we saw it was Duncan he glared even harder. Shelia looked over and squealed in delight as she dropped her knife and ran to the door to open it. "Duncan your back! I have been so bored without you, Gus has missed you too". She was smiling at Duncan so hard but stopped when Courtney cleared her throat in a annoyned manner.

"Oh you brought company" Shelia said in a grim voice. She looked Courtney up and down and snirckered at her, "Whose the chick, Duncan sweetheart?" even though the question was for Duncan, Shelia was looking right at Courtney who just stared hard right back. "This is my partner, Courtney. I smell some of your delcious sauce cooking Shelia" Duncan pushed past Shelia. Shelia chased after Duncan and she grabbed a wooden spoon. She stirred the pot and brought a little taste up to Duncan's mouth, which hungrily licked off.

"Isn't that good?" Shelia asked taking her thumb and wiping some sauce off his chin. Gus came back in the kitchen wrapping his hand in a bandage. "Why if it isn't my least favorite nephew, Duncan for someone who hates surprises you sure do make a lot of them. Oh Courtney you're back!" he shook Courtney's hand with his good one. "How has life been working with Duncan?"

"Oh he hasn't been that bad lately" she teased getting a stare from Duncan who had more sauce hanging from his chin. "Hey Unc you think you could hook me and Courtney up with some spaghetti and meatballs, oh and some garlic bread?" he asked.

"Well if Shelia doesn't stop feeding you, there won't be any sauce left for dinner. I'll clean a table off for you two, Shelia pop some bread in the oven and put some more spices in the sauce. You two follow me". Shelia gave one more smile to Duncan before slicing some more bread. Gus led the two agents to a small table in the back. "The food will be ready in a while, make yourself comfrontable...but not too comfrontable. People eat off this table you know" Gus walked out the resturant and back through the kitchen doors.

"So...I'm guessing that Shelia has a thing for you" Courtney said playing with her napkin. Duncan shrugged, "Yeah, we did go out for about two weeks but she is really clingly. But enough talk about her, let's talk about you" Duncan scooted closer to Courtney who only blushed a bit. "What do you want to know?"

Duncan smirked, "Everything. I want to know you as well as you know me". Courtney nodded slowly and began, "I used to want to be like everyone else. You know go to parties, hang out, have fun like a normal teenager. I would have given anything to be like everybody".

Duncan frowned, "What, you want to be uncaring and dishonest?"

Courtney looked up startled, "Not everybody is like that" she stated. Duncan looked down at his lap and said quietly, "Yes they are." Courtney took her hand and tilted Duncan face back up to hers and said, "You're not like that". Duncan removed his face from her grasp, "How do you know what I'm like?" Courtney didn't have a good response so she just kept silent. Duncan seeing that Courtney wasn't going to press on said, "Go on".

"Well my parents shipped me to boarding school when I was ten and I stayed there until I was thirteen and could start to train to become a agent. Then I met all these great people in the agency and they sort of replaced my lonliness. Sometimes it's better to be alone in this world". she said playing with her napkin again.

"Why?"

Now it was Courtney's turn to look downward and whisper, "Because then no one can hurt you". Duncan watched as Courtney remembered something that happened to her in a previous years to her. Duncan looked into her eyes and whispered, "I would never hurt you, Courtney". She smiled and gently traced a finger on his face. They leaned in close to each other and let their lips meet in unison. Duncan wrapped and arm around Courtney's waist and brought her closer to his warm chest. He became even warmer when she placed her hands on his broad chest.

The two were rudley interupted by a large bang on the table and someone clearing their throat. They pulled away slowly from each other and Duncan annoyed turned angrily at the person, which was none other than Sheila with a whole cart full of food. "I thought Gus told you two no funny business. Enjoy your food". Sheila started to walk away but the sound of Duncan's voice made her stop. "You guys still trying to sell this place?"

Sheila laughed her back still towards the two "Yes. The place is too much for two people to take care of Duncan. The rest of your family doesn't want to come to Italy and take care of this place. It's better to shut it down, permanatley". Shelia went back in the kitchen and left the agents to their feast.

After thirty minutes of sharing more stories and stuffing their stomachs Duncan and Courtney were contently resting each others heads on the others shoulder. "Princess I think tonight that pole that was up your ass, is totally gone" duncan said yawning. Courtney giggled and just happen to check the clock, it read 7:14.

Courtney jumped up and placed her hands to her mouth. "Oh my God! Duncan! We gotta go it's almost time!" She got up and started to run out of the resturant. Duncan who was still puzzled chased after her, "Courtney, wait up!" He past by his uncle and Shelia in the kitchen, "Hey Duncan! What the rush?"

"Her exboyfriend is about to get killed!" Duncan ran out the door and smirked to himself when he heard his uncle call after him. "What about the bill!"

Courtney was panting as she reached the pier and waited very impatiently for Duncan to catch up. He came panting and resting agaisnt the boat, "There is no time for rest Duncan!" Courtney shouted, she went in Duncan's pocket to look for the keys. "Oh princess if it's like that then why are we rushing to save that dork back in England?"

Courtney just glared and found the keys, putting them straight into the ingnition and turing the boat to full speed.

DW: Okay so in the next chapter will be the oh so dramatic chase to reach the clock tower in time and maybe if possible change Courtney's past. It will be good, I can promise you that sweethearts.
