Dating? You're dating someone?

Hey, sis. Well, that's...kind of the thing. This guy and I are supposed to be "not dating", just hanging out as friends, but we've been hanging out together more and more, and... I don't think you can call it "not dating" anymore.

Sounds like he's married and not telling you.

Myk! No, he's not married. It's just...he's been through a lot and wasn't looking for a relationship. We were talking, and he invited me to a movie as friends. Things have just...gotten more complicated. I'm not sure what you can call us now.

Ask him. Guys are idiots when it comes to emotional stuff but he might tell you how he views your relationship.

...

Want me to do a background check on him?

*nods slowly* I guess I should. I just don't want to ruin things, you know. Not after what happened with Shel.

And no. No background check. It's not necessary. *gives her sister a smile* But thanks for looking after me.

Well, Shel was an asshole. I'm glad I punched him.

You have anyone giving you problems? I could really use something to punch. Especially if that thing's name is Pete.

Yeah, I know he was. Angel's not like him, though. I know that much.

*raises her eyebrows at her sister*

Did something happen? I thought you were getting along with him?

*ahrugs and wrinkles her nose*

He made a bet with someone else over who would get me naked first. I think I've forgiven him enough to work with him, but I don't.

But, I did go to Vegas and hit the jackpot. *laughs*

He did what? Oh, Myk, that's...jeez. I'm sorry. I completely understand.

*shakes her head before smiling*

Really? That's so cool. How much did you win? And what are you going to do with it?

We won ten grand but half of it goes to Claudia, and some goes to the government. And I don't know. Maybe a vacation to a place that doesn't have cows.

A vacation sounds good. You know that you can always come out to visit me if you want. And as far as I can tell, no cows here.

Or maybe Hawaii. Don't think they have many cows there, but they do have lots of beaches.

LA sounds good. I'll have to speak to my boss about it, though, and he's kind of a grump.

Tell the grump you need some time before you burn-out. They wouldn't want to lose a good agent like you...even though I have no idea what it is that you're doing now.

You know, I think I'm going to give you Artie's number so you can tell him I need time off? *smirk*

Hmm...maybe I should tell him that *cough* I'm sick *cough* *cough* And I need my sister. *cough*

But that would be lying, and that's probably not a good idea, huh? I don't want to get you in trouble.

*snorts* Since when do you care if you get me in trouble or not?

Since you work for the government! Isn't there, like, some sort of prison sentence for corrupting agents?

*laughs*

I wouldn't let you go to prison...for too long.

*snorts*

Thanks, Myk. I love you too.
