• He had no meetings or anything to be at any specific time, but was in doing some training with a couple other guys. They were just finished out back and were on their way through the building to go out the front to head down the road to the nearby park for a nice long, cross-country run. Laughing at the antics of his company, he shook his head slowly but couldn't help the smirk at some comment and ran a hand over his head - just happening to glance into her office as they passed. "Hey - I'll meet you guys outside in 5.." He waved them on and ducked inside, hands moving to squeeze her shoulders as his features softened an affectionate smile. "Hey you... Wanna come for a run with us?" (NT) -- Colin, 09:34:36 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She was trembling lightly and jumped at his touch, skittering back towards the desk before she saw him and breathed a soft sound of relief, her hand running down her face as she exhaled slowly. "Oh, hey, um..no..actually, I am heading out now..." She cleared her throat, shifting a bit as she tugged on the hem of her shirt, uncomfortable and definately unsettled. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:38:46 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He always picked up on the slightest changes in her - no matter how invisible they were, and so this obvious discomfort screamed out at him and he was instantly concerned. Brows furrowing, he crossed his arms across his chest - taking a small step closer to her but noting that she seemed uncomfortable with his touch, so resisting that, voice soft when he spoke again. "Hey - what's going on, baby?" (NT) -- Colin, 09:41:12 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She bit her lip, looking up at him for a moment. Normally, she wouldn't say anything, Sullivan made comments to her all the time but she neglected to tell Colin about them because it would only serve to piss him off and the love of her life was walking on a thin line as it was. This though, this was more serious and she was so upset about it she literally felt sick to her stomache. She knew this was a mans world that she was playing in but she had never expected things to go so far. "Sullivan...he made a pass at me in his office." Her voice was slightly shaky before she let out a disgruntled breath, her hand running over her face again, strangely close to tears - she felt violated. (NT) -- Lexi, 09:44:51 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "He what?" He stood a little straighter at that and stepped closer to her again, head dipped so he could speak softly to her, but his voice was low and soothing - despite the wave of sickness and disgust that passed through him at the thought. "What'd he do, Bai?" It was hard enough for him just knowing that Sullivan said the occasional thing to him, and seeing how the man watched her when they were training.. (NT) -- Colin, 09:48:52 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She dropped her eyes down for a long moment before she looked back at him, her voice obviously distressed. "He touched me..." Her eyes slid shut for a brief moment before they opened again. "I should have realized it was coming, when he says things and he watches me...he made me run twice and then he told me not to change..." She shook her head, frowning. "God, I am so stupid...." (NT) -- Lexi, 09:54:41 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "No, Bailey..." He protested firmly, fingers of one hand brushing her cheek and catching her jaw to bring her gaze to his. "This isn't your fault. Wait here.." His jaw tensed and his hand lingering on the soft cool skin of her face for a moment before he stepped back and ran his hands over his head - struggling to maintain his cool, though he knew it would all go out the window the moment he stepped into their boss's office. (NT) -- Colin, 09:58:41 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She swallowed heavily, her brow furrowed as she turned, gathering up the rest of her things and assuming he was doing the same. The door to Sullivans office was closed and he was busily getting his files rearranged on his desk, though his cheek sported a red mark - he appeared not to have a worry in the world. (NT) -- Lexi, 10:00:59 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He watched her a moment longer before heading out and down the hall - not knocking, just letting himself into Sullivan's office. Before the man had a chance to figure out what was going on - one hand was curling into his shirt to pull his boss to face him and the other was tightened into a fist that promptly made solid contact with his jaw. Sullivan could fire him, charge him with assault, ruin any chance he ever had at working the business again... But he would never again touch Bailey. (NT) -- Colni, 10:08:40 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She heard the sound of flesh hitting flesh before anything else and her eyes widened. Sullivans curse filled the air next and she dropped her bag, jogging down the hallway towards her boss's - or maybe former boss's - office. "Colin!" (NT) -- Lexi, 10:11:42 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• Giving the other man a gentle shove to encourage him to drop back into his chair, he glanced over his shoulder at Bailey, but turned his attention back to Sullivan before anything else. "You arrogant bastard... If you ever even think about touching her again, or any other uninterested woman for that matter, I will know and after I'm done with you - they'll be taking blood to confirm your identity. Consider that a threat." (NT) -- Colin, 10:16:43 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She came in, her hand wrapping around his arm and tugging him back, her voice soft. "Colin, Baby..." She murmured softly, her brow furrowed, trying to soothe him now. She cleared her throat, tugging him back. Sullivan put a hand to his face, drawing it away to see the blood that came from his mouth. He growled lightly, noting the tender way she touched him, his protective stance, the use of the word baby and he shook his head. "Neither of you will ever, ever work in this agency again, get the hell out of my office." (NT) -- Lexi, 10:19:37 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "I will do whatever I can to make the same true for you..." He growled back, taking a small step back at Bailey's touch but not turning away or moving otherwise - wanting so badly just to feel the mans flesh beneath his fist again, but resisting. "It was only a matter of time before you totally crossed the line - I only wish I had said something sooner. You should start packing your things now because this isn't going to go away quietly." (NT) -- Colin, 10:37:13 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He scoffed lightly, shaking his head. "It's her word against mine, Black, just how much weight do you think your girlfriends testimony is going to hold?" He shook his head. "I can have five people in here stating she's a slut who throws herself at me." He glared at the man, his eyes hard as he put his hand back to his mouth again, trying to stop the blood from his lip. (NT) -- Sullivan, 10:39:22 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "Don't kid yourself. No one will back you..." He growled back and stood there a lingering moment - appearing quite intimidating with his muscles tight and his own gaze cold and hate-filled. Hands running over his head as he forced himself to resist just pounding the man right there, he stepped back again before turning, a hand moving to Bailey's back to usher her out ahead of him. (NT) -- Colin, 10:42:21 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She turned, heading out the door as if in a daze, finding it hard to believe that this was going on right now. "Your going to hear from so many lawyers you won't be able to count them all, Black!" Sullivan called out as they left. (NT) -- Sullivan, 10:43:42 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "Ditto, Sullivan." He growled back with obvious distaste and slammed the door shut after him. Exhaling a low breath, his hands squeezed her shoulders gently from behind, clearing his throat before he spoke quietly. "Why don't you finish getting your stuff together, Bai? And we'll get out of here..." (NT) -- Colin, 10:48:38 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She sighed softly, shaking her head, so distressed. "Your going to get in so much trouble Colin, your going to lose your job..." She swallowed, when she was thinking more clearly, she'd be grateful of his defending her, but right now all she could think was that his carreer was over and he would hate that so much and it would be all her fault. (NT) -- Sullivan, 10:53:12 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "I'd rather lose my job than let him get away with shit like that, Bailey Alexis. That's wrong. He should get criminally charged for it." He murmured firmly but gently, ushering the way slowly down the hall back towards her office - his hands on her shoulders, squeezing softly. (NT) -- Colin, 10:58:26 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She sighed softly, swallowing as they made their way into her office, closing the door behind them. "He was just standing behind me and his hand was on my shoulder then he started saying all this stuff and his hand slid down..." She let out a ragged breath, shaking her head and wrapping her arms around herself. She felt dumb and used and violated.... (NT) -- Sullivan, 11:04:10 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He leaned back against the door as he listened to her, running his hands over his head and shifting a little anxiously - tense and wired now, that only made worse by the details of what had happened. "I could kill him, Bailey, and I'm not even kidding." (NT) -- Colin, 11:07:00 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "I should have handled it better or did something along time ago..." She frowned, gathering her things, beating herself up over this whole thing. She was blaming herself, she should have been in better control of her circumstances and situations. (NT) -- Sullivan, 11:11:48 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "Bailey Alexis..." He growled gently, lingering there at the door a moment before pushing off it with his back and moving over to help her with some of her stuff. "Listen to me. None of this is your fault. All you have ever done is tried to do your job - he's the one who's screwed up." (NT) -- Colin, 11:13:20 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She shook her head, frowning. "I just handed him the opportunity." She frowned softly, biting her lip a little. She wasn't sure wha to do with all these feelings that were attacking her - none of them were good. (NT) -- Sullivan, 11:16:26 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "Bailey." He frowned and caught her face in his hands, forcing her to look at him and listen to what he had to say - to see the honest seriousness in his darkened gaze. "You never did anything to encourage this - if ever you did anything, it was to discourage him, and he wouldn't take no for an answer." (NT) -- Colni, 11:20:21 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She sighed softly, leaning into his touch before she finally just slid his arms around him and buried her face in his chest - drawing from his strength and just needing him desperately at the moment. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:22:14 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He kissed the top of her head sweetly and quietly wrapped his arms around her - his hold on her tightening slowly, face ducking into her hair. "I'm sorry, Bailey... That you have to deal with this.." Not because he didn't think she had the emotional strength, but because he knew she loved her job and had worked so hard to get where she was now - and all that seemed to be in jeopardy, or tainted at the very least. (NT) -- Colin, 11:24:30 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "Same to you." She tried to offer him a slight smile, her hand lifting to gently trace over the back of his head lovingly. "Thanks for being my knight in shining armor, again." She drew back to press a soft kiss to his lips, sighing softly. He was so good to her, it amazed her sometimes. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:28:58 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He exhaled slowly and shook his head a touch, a brief, tender smile softening his features as he gaze down at her, arms still tight around her - truth was, she was his entire world and he would do anything for her at any time. "I probably just made things worse..." (NT) -- Colin, 11:31:33 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She shook her head lightly, hugging him tightly before pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "Come on love, lets go home, I just want to get out of here." She brushed her hand over his shaved head, enjoying the prickly sensation beneath her fingertips. (NT) -- Lexi, 11:37:31 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He returned her kiss softly and sweetly before nodding, hands brushing down her arms as he stepped back, and then grabbed her bag for her. Slipping his fingers into hers, he squeezed gently. "I'm filing a report... You know that right, sweetheart? I'll grab the paperwork before we go and fax it later today." (NT) -- Colin, 11:42:16 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She frowned at that, quiet for a long minute before thinking that over. "Man....Colin, you know what happened to that one girl who filed a sexual harrassment suit...." She frowned softly, shaking her head. "She never got assigned, she's still working behind the desk, all the guys are afraid to even look at her...." (NT) -- Lexi, 11:47:12 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• "So hopefully things'll be different for you, Bailey, but you can't just try to let this go away." He frowned gently and squeezed her fingers softly, tugging her quietly after him and out of there. There was no saying how things would go, but all they could do was try. (NT) -- Colin, 11:50:35 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She frowned softly as she followed him slowly into the hallway and down the corridor to the parking lot - her mind working all of this through or at least rying too. She wasn't so sure she wanted to do anything about this, she didn't want that stigma attached to her name.... (NT) -- Lexi, 12:07:51 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• He handed her the keys to his rental car - his 442 was back in the shop getting some more work down - and pointed her in the direction, then kissed her cheek softly. "I'm going to go grab my stuff and those papers so we can atleast look them over... Go ahead and get settled. I'll be right out." (NT) -- Colin, 12:10:20 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• She nodded a bit, not even thinking about all the PDA that was going on between them, that was the least of their worries. "Alright." She took the keys, heading into the parking lot to find his car.... (NT) -- Lexi, 12:11:45 09/08/04 Wed

  ---

• The same went for him - he thought about it briefly, but didn't care right now and figured it didn't matter anyway. He was already figuring that likely he would never work again in this career, regardless of how things worked out for or against Bailey. Heading back inside, he headed into the lockerrooms to grab his things, changing quickly back into his street clothes - jeans and a black tee - before moving back outside to join her in the car...
