Chapter 4- “Truths”
After lunch with his parents, Ryan had a debriefing with Abby.
“Hey”
“Hey”
“So, your mission was a success. That’s great.”
“Yea”
“Don’t sound so excited.”
“Sorry, I was just thinking about something.”
“What?”
“Oh, nothing.”
“It has to be something. What’s bothering you? You can tell me anything. You know that.”
“That’s just it. I can’t tell you everything. I want to, but I can’t.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that….I can’t say it. I want to. I just can’t.”
“Ryan, what is it?”
“You really want to know?”
“Yes, I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t want to know.”
“You sure? Once I tell you, there is no going back.”
“Ok, I still want to know.”
“When you walk in the room, my stomach does back flips. The only thing that I like about my day is knowing that I will see you. I spend time just counting down the minutes until I see you again. I can’t do anything without you on my mind, and I’ve thought about what my life would be like with out you in it.”
“I’ve been thinking about that too.”
“So what do you think we should do about this?” Ryan’s answer was put on hold. His pager went off.
“That’s my dad. I’m supposed to have dinner with them.”
“Ok. Bye, then.”
“Bye.”
At dinner about an hour later, they continued to talk about Ryan’s job.
“So.”
“I just came from a meeting with Abby.”
“Abby? That’s your handler right?”
“Yes. Dad, I don’t know what to do about how much I care about her. I told her-“ he was cut off my Vaughn.
“You what?! You told her!? Why!? That’s the easiest way to get yourselves killed.”
“Dad. Dad. Calm Down. I just told her that I cared about her. Nothing else happened or will I let anything in the future happen, until Sanderez is in jail, anyway. Besides, you took mom to dinner and almost got both of you killed, and you told her how you felt, in the middle of the Ops center. All before you took down SD-6. Which reminds me.. Mom.”
“Yes?”
“They found Sloane dead yesterday.”
“What about Sark?”
“He’s still alive, but we know what he’s up to.”
“Good.”
“Guys, dinner’s ready.”
