• She was leaning back in her chair, clad in sweat shorts and a beater stype white tank top, her hair - which was almost up, actually down today to help hide the marks that decorated her neck. She was chatting absently with another male agent, shaking her head and laughing at something she said before she flexed and patted her bicep - winking teasingly at him. She had a feeling that it was Colin who walked in - it was like she could sense his presance, but she didn't look back. All she had to do was work with him today, get their assignment and keep their relationship on a working level only. It was all much easier said then done - though she had convinced herself not to think that. (NT) -- Lexi, 14:23:45 08/08/04 Sun

• He didn't allow him the luxury of looking her over closely, instead just grinned charmingly and winked at Sullivan - wagging his finger as he dropped into his chair. His seat was next to hers, but he swivelled it so that it was angled oh-so-slightly away from her as he spoke to their superior. "You're think you're pretty funny, don't you, boss? Next time, I'll be two hours late." (NT) -- Colin, 14:25:47 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Maybe some of your punctuality will rub off on your partner Alexis, though hopefully some of his skill will rub off on you." Her jaw tightened in response to that, back stiffening a bit before she let her feet fall to the ground, placing her elbows on the table and resting her chin in her hands as Sullivan began talking about things that she could really care less about. She really hadn't even allowed herself the luxery of thinking about Colin or anything over the weekend - just worked out like crazy, went running a lot, hung out with her fam, slept, and now she was here.... (NT) -- Lexi, 14:29:11 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He was paying just as little attention to Sullivan as she was, but was much more obvious about it - leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head for a bit, then leaned back toying with a pencil above his head, and then leaned back sending his boss' middle-aged secretary winks. Anything to keep himself entertained... (NT) -- Colin, 14:32:27 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Alright, we are going to break now for training times, hope you are all on your best days and then later we'll call each of you in for your assignments." He straightened the papers, the sound of chairs moving and scraping the floor filling the room. She stood, stretching her arms out over her head. She knew they couldn't just not talk forever but right now she really didn't have anything to say to him. Her hand ran over her ribs, she had wrapped them this morning on Niko's advice, hoping that would stablize them a bit. (NT) -- Lexi, 14:34:54 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He glanced to her just briefly before hooking an arm around one of the other guys' necks on their way out the door. "So what's going on?" His colleague smirked and shook his head, but gave a quick rundown of the proceedings. Sorted out, he allowed the other man to head off before he finally looked to his partner. "I gotta change still. Meet you out there?" (NT) -- Colin, 14:38:02 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Yeah, thats fine." She flashed a slight smile before she jogged to catch up. She was one of the two women here, then there was eight other men including Colin. She made her way out, sighing in the hot sun before she slipped on her sunglasses and began stretching out. She was aiming to impress today, even if she had to kick her own ass to do it. (NT) -- Lexi, 14:40:10 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He changed quickly and then made his way out to join the rest of the group - for once, he wasn't feeling the drills. Likely he would still perform near the top of the group, but his heart wasn't in it. His mind kept wandering to the other night, and then there was the problem with his eyes watering - thanks to his lack of sleep.. (NT) -- Colin, 14:43:27 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• Sullivan made Lexi go first, as was his normal routine because he usually made her go again before the end of it. There was two parts - a singles run, and then an exercise performed with their partner. Lexi started up for the singles run and as soon as she heard the go she was off, making her way smoothly throughout the thing in record time - though when her time was called she kinda walked the long way around, trying to catch her breath through her aching ribs - walking where she wouldn't be seen. She bent over at the hip for a moment, till she was satisfied she was fine before she made her way back around - only to be congratulated by Sullivan for her 'good luck' and getting the promise that she would do it again to see if she could match that time. (NT) -- Lexi, 14:46:44 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He stood at the back with his hand on his hips - and spoke up without hesitation through the group when he heard what Sullivan had to say to Bailey. "Hey boss.. I thought we only went twice if we had the slowest time." (NT) -- Colin, 14:50:24 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She glanced back at him, shaking her head lightly. She could do it twice, if thats how she had to prove herself, thats what she had to do. Sullivan also looked back, his brow cocking lightly. "It shouldn't bother Alexis to go again, you can handle it, can't you McLean?" He cocked a brow, bringing his dark gaze to Lexi. "I wouldn't want to tire you out, or have you aggravate that injury of yours you know." His voice was sarcastic, obviously pushing the buttons that he knew she would respond to. Lexi just straightened her shoulders, shaking her head. "I'm fine. I can go again." (NT) -- Lexi, 14:53:10 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "I'm sure she can - but I'm the one stuck partnering with her. You make her go twice and maybe she's a little less ready for the job and maybe I end up having to pick up the slack. That's not cool, guys." He piped up again - sounding very matter-of-act and earning a couple chuckles from the other guys around. Really, he would be surprised if his speaking up did anything to change Sullivan's mind for the day, but atleast he had tried. (NT) -- Colin, 14:55:56 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Good, you can always use a little extra work Black," He stated, though his eyes stayed level on Lexi. She just set her jaw, looking away from him and glancing back to the course, waiting for the next person to go. Somedays...days like this...she wondered why she didn't go into something else, do something else with her life. She rolled her eyes as she heard Colin's reasoning, understanding what he was saying - it really wasn't fair to him and thats why he was concerned..... (NT) -- Lexi, 14:58:46 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Bullshit. I'm so suing your ass if I get shot again, damn it." He grumbled - pushing his luck with his choice of words. Few could get away with a comment like that to their boss.. Arms crossing over his chest, he shifted a bit as another guy was getting set up to get going. (NT) -- Colin, 15:02:31 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• Sullivan glanced back at him. "Your pushing it, Black." He looked back to Alexis before he focused back on the other man who was running. She rolled her eyes, walking away from the font to head to the bench and grab her water bottle - sitting down for a minute to giver herself a chance to subtley adjust her wraps. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:04:38 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Maybe I'll just run slow so I have to go twice too. That way, both Bai and me can be equally over-tired. That'd be really responsible of you to send us out on a job like that." Muttering, his eyes followed the other man on the course for a moment before he shifted to warm-up and stretch a litle. (NT) -- Colin, 15:10:29 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Fine." He didn't feel like dealing with Black that day. "If your so concerned about your partner slowing your down, she won't go again." He stated, and then looked to find Bailey, raising his voice. "But McLean, I still want to see you after this. My office." She didn't respond, she leaned down to tie his shoes. Sullivan shook his head, they both were bad, together they were horrible. "Black, your on." (NT) -- Lexi, 15:13:16 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Thanks boss. Always looking out for me." He saluted his boss with a wink and a grin - screaming of an arrogant attitude - before heading out to run his turn. There was little that Sullivan could complain about - he didn't push himself and showed not much spectacular, but still came in well under a couple of the others' times. (NT) -- Colin, 15:20:20 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She watched him quietly for a long moment before she stood, stretching out once more leaning against the wall silently as she waited for everyone else to finish - her gaze bored. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:22:00 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He was just mildly winded and so walked around a bit and then stretched out again as he too waited for everyone else to finish - one days like today, these drills were the last things he wanted to participate in. (NT) -- Colin, 15:24:10 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She was feeling the same way, she wasn't really even in the mood to be here at all. Sullivan led the group over to where the partners course was, this was a cinch and obviously her and Colin and handle it find..."Ready for this?" She questioned, not really looking at him as she spoke - instead her eyes scanned the course, checking for any changes which were sometimes sprung on them. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:27:07 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Yes ma'am." He murmured and crossed his arms over his chest, as his eyes scanned the course as well. All they had to do was run this one fine, then they could get their assignment and move on. Maybe if they had some work to do, they would have less trouble getting along. (NT) -- Colin, 15:31:57 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• Not her, after this she got to go be bitched at for one reason or another. She glanced up at him for a moment - green eyes clear. "I'll keep up." She stated, he had seemed so concerned about her slowing him down. With that she headed over to wait until they were called, until then watching the others performance. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:34:12 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He sighed and just watched her go - figures even she wouldn't understand what he was truly trying to get Sullivan to do, which was lay off her a bit. Atleast he had saved her one run on the individual course... As he waited, he paced slowly, arms crossing over his broad chest. (NT) -- Colin, 15:40:42 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She looked over to him with a slight smile and a cock of the brow as their names were called, She waited for him and after go they took off - it went flawlessly, even if they were barely speaking outside of work - they could still read each others actions and movements perfectly, reacting easily to one another and ending up with the best time of the day. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:43:24 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He slipped his arm around her shoulders and squeezed her gently - not even looking to Sullivan - before breaking away and heading past the group as he smothered a couple coughs - years of smoking caught up to him once in a while.. (NT) -- Colin, 15:47:02 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She was a little suprised by the hug, but smiled lightly in return before he walked away coughing - her brow furrowed gently. She started to go after him but was halted by a barking voice. "McLean! My office! Now!" She sighed, turning and heading towards the main building..... (NT) -- Lexi, 15:48:50 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He needed to get more sleep, and he needed to stop smoking and drinking, and his other dirty little habit. This was what he was telling himself as he strolled the yard and calmed his lungs. When he could finally breathe again, he trailed after everyone else back inside to get cleaned up before meeting outside the boardroom for them to get their assignments... (NT) -- Colin, 15:51:38 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• "Yeah, well, I think your full of shit!" Was the words heard as Lexi threw open the door and then slammed it behind her, not bothering to look at anyone as she pushed through the crowd to the lockers so she could grab her stuff and get the hell out of there. She thought she had been pissed when Colin had shown up, that was nothing compared to this. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:53:30 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• Frowning, he stood slowly and pushed gently past a couple of the guys to follow after her - she was his partner, it was his duty to stay current on her state of mind.. "Hey - what's up, Bai?" (NT) -- Colin, 15:54:40 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She shook her head, grabbing her purse and digging out her keys with a nearly trembling hand. "Apperantly, my ribs aren't yet healed enough to put me on assignment yet" She growled lightly, pulling her hair up in a pony tail, not even caring if anyone saw the marks on her neck from their night of passion that had ended on such a pretty note. "I am healthy enough to have the top times, but not enough to pass his little judgement call because he's a fucking asshole." She finally grabbed her keys, looking up to him. "So your flying solo, which you prefer anyways, so it works out ok for you." She wasn't angry about that all, she understand prefering to work solo. (NT) -- Lexi, 15:56:51 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• His own eyes dropped to her neck for a moment and then raised slowly as he pushed away the memories and sighed deeply, running a hand over his head - he didn't know what to say to that.. "He's an asshole." Growling softly, he frowned as he watched her. "Never said I preferred working alone, Bai. That's you." (NT) -- Colin, 16:00:23 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She shrugged her purse over her shoulder, swallowing a bit - she hated being pushed around like this but he was her supervisor and there was jack shit that she could do. Plus, her little outburst probably didn't earn her any brownie points. She sighed softly, shrugging. "It doesn't matter, either way, your on your own." She shrugged a bit. "I am out for awhile." (NT) -- Lexi, 16:02:30 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He shook his head slowly - frustrated for her, but what could he do? Nothing. He would bitch at Sullivan, but that would get him nowhere... "Well actually take it easy, Bailey. Make sure you're completely good and healed, and then next time Sullivan'll have no excuses." (NT) -- Colin, 16:04:43 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• She nodded a bit, letting out a soft breath at that - her eyes finally showing her truely upset she was over all of this. "Yeah..I'll see you around." She flashed him a small, half smile before she turned - her head still head high even though she felt like hell. (NT) -- Lexi, 16:06:07 08/08/04 Sun

  ---

• He fought the urge to call after her - there was nothing he could say or do though, so just let her go. As soon as she had left though, he was pushing into Sullivan's office - interrupting the meeting that as going on between him and one pair - and bitching about loosing his partner and having to work alone.. (NT) -- Colin, 16:10:33 08/08/04 Sun
