In reply to: Skeeter 's message, "inside" on 21:48:48 11/02/06 Thu

(The fact that Skeeter had been in the apartment didn't really bother him.. it was the fact that people he cared about were in the apartment.. a place he wasn't all that ready to deem safe.. and well, if something had happened to Skeeter or.. was that Reese? He growled, looking down at his intelligence officer and narrowing his gaze a little, in the same manner a protective father might.) Reese come out here. (He said in that commandeering voice he had. He stepped over several puppies, ignoring the way one in particular, a little dark gray puppy, followed him. He stalked into the apartment, ushering a nervous Reese out into the foyer and making a complete perimeter walk of the main room. He was in agent mode, not at all convinced - even though his entire family had been in the place for weeks - that it was anywhere close to safe. He checked Kyrian's room, the office, the patio and the nursery. Then, he just sort of stood in front of the half open doorway to the bedroom, his face pale and his eyes worn. The pup had stopped behind him and with a hearty growl, it took a huge mouthful of his slacks at the ankle and started a game of tug-o-war. He was still hearing Shay's joyous laughter and his son's excited babbling.. and that was making him all the more intense as he shifted his weight before the door, looking at it like a boxer sizing up his enemy. Coming in the front door hadn't been that bad.. but this. This was harder.) (She had fallen slightly in love with Skeeter that day.. in a best friend, older brother sort of way.. as they had picked up the puppies and brought them over to Remy and Shays. It'd been a big, squirmy mess in the truck with all those massive puppies all but drowning her, and she had laughed most of the way there.. and had had a much needed respite from the constant worry and pain that flooded her life now that Braden was so very absent. She missed him so much that at times she was downright moody, snapping at people without realizing it, because she had become defensive in her sadness. And now, as she tried to wrangle the puppies back inside, she looked over her shoulder at Remy and all but felt the wariness rolling off him in waves. She nudged Skeeter with her foot and nodded at the commander.. he was dampening the mood.. and she didn't want to take away from Shay's good mood at all.)
