notes and summary: See part one

Wyatt met two Homeland security agents as he got within sight of Mason's main entrance. They recognized him and slowed to a jog.

"We're the last ones out Master Sergeant."A blond man stated urging Wyatt back."Everyone's been evacuated."

"Where is Lucy Preston?"Wyatt demanded."Is she alright?"

"She's at a safe zone in Oakland."The agent replied."Got her out right before us."

"No one was hurt?"Wyatt asked as they moved to the parking lot.

"Thankfully no."The agent said,"We're headed to the Oakland site want a ride?"

Wyatt grinned.

'Love one."Wyatt commented.

Minutes later they were in suvs and leaving Mason.

Danny watched his mother pace like a caged animal. Nobody had any information for them on Wyatt. Jiya was contacting the airport and had yet to get back to them. They'd heard Agent Christopher was in route having been the last to leave. The waiting was taking a toll on Danny too. As much as he needed to know his father was safe he needed to get back home and find out if what they did had brought his sister back. Just as Danny was about to talk to Lucy her cell phone rang. Seeing the look of relief on her face Danny smiled. That look could only mean his father was alright; he'd seen it a time or two. Finally Lucy ended the call and turned to Danny still smiling.

"Wyatt's on his way."Lucy stated.

"Good."Danny replied and wrapped his mother in a hug.

Wyatt was grateful he wasn't sharing a ride with Agent Christopher. The other Homeland agents had told him she'd been with them and had left in one of the other vehicles the same time they did. Wyatt grimaced they must have just missed each other at Mason. He was sure his boss had seen his parachuting entrance. Still Wyatt would do it all again and he'd take whatever consequences their were. It wasn't like she hadn't tried to fire him before. A long half hour later they arrived at the safe house and Wyatt exited the SUV before it came to a stop. Before he could reach the main door however he was blocked by his superior.

"Agent Christopher."Wyatt greeted.

"Dramatic entrance."Denise stated with a frown. "You went into a situation blind, Master Sergeant."

"We wouldn't have been able to help if we'd gone all the way to the airport and then to Mason."Wyatt protested.

"So you took it upon yourself to disobey orders and convince four others of my team to do so as well."Christopher continued sharply.

"It was my family at stake!"Wyatt snapped forgetting himself for a moment."I wasn't..."

"Without contacting me first you put that family in danger. You didn't know what type of explosive we were dealing with. There could've been triggers on the ground that you didn't know about."Denise replied.

"You want to fire me? That's fine."Wyatt retorted. "I did what I thought was best to help the people I care about."

After a long tense moment Denise sighed.

"We'll talk about this later."Denise stated as she stepped aside. "Danny and Lucy are in the main room."

Wyatt nodded his thanks and walked quickly into the large building.

"Lucy!"

Lucy would know that voice anywhere. She turned and saw Wyatt making his way towards them through the crowd of Mason employees. Lucy started towards him and when Wyatt finally got free Lucy flung her arms around him and Wyatt drew her close into an embrace. After several long moments Wyatt stepped back and took Lucy's face in his hands.

"Are you really alright?"Wyatt asked and then looked past her to Danny who had inched closer. "Both of you?"

"Yes."Lucy affirmed with a nod glancing back at their son. "We're both fine. Are you okay? I was so worried when I couldn't get any information..."

"I'm fine but I disobeyed an order which Christoper isn't too happy about."Wyatt explained.

"What happened?"Lucy asked.

"I didn't want to go all the way to the airport so I kinda told the pilot to fly over Mason and we jumped."Wyatt replied.

"And Christoper saw you parachute in."Danny surmised with a grin.

"So I might be fired again."Wyatt said to Lucy with a half smile. "But I'd do it again I wasn't leaving either one of you in harms way."

Lucy buried herself in Wyatt's embrace resting her head on his chest.

"I'm just glad everyone's safe."Lucy commented.

Minutes later Lucy felt Wyatt step away. She was about to move to stand next to him thinking they were leaving. Then he gripped her waist and leaned down capturing her lips in a kiss. Lucy knew then that no matter how many years passed she would never get tired of being kissed by Wyatt Logan.

It was another hour before word reached them that everyone was clear to leave. Debriefs would follow the next morning. Danny, Lucy and Wyatt got one of the Homeland black SUVs and Wyatt drove them back to San Francisco. The ride back was quiet Lucy falling asleep in the passenger seat fifteen minutes in.

"I'll give you the key and directions to my place."Wyatt offered Danny. "I know the cots at Mason can get old after a few days."

"Where will you be?"Danny asked from the back seat.

"I'll get Lucy and I a hotel room near Mason industries."Wyatt replied glancing over at the historian."We've got a lot to talk about now that everything's done."

"I'm heading home tomorrow."Danny stated quietly."I have to see if capturing Davis was enough of a change to get Lizzy back."

"Understand."Wyatt acknowledged swallowing the sudden lump in his throat. "I hope it was; I made a promise to her."

"When I get back I'll find a way to send a message."Danny responded.

"Appreciate that."Wyatt said.

The rest of the trip back Wyatt had to concentrate on the heavy traffic. He was grateful for the distraction from his turbulant thoughts. One thing he knew for sure the next few days were going to be long ones.
