Another

Listing to the two talking back and forth Adison can't help but notice something seemed to change with Kirk. He seemed on edge not to mention he was not almost chugging his beer. What on earth...maybe it was just her because she new him so well, but she couldn't put her finger on what was the matter.

   "Changes huh? Sounds like you guys have gotten pretty comfortable with your jobs. Doesn't surprise me though you both were always the top of your class."

Finishing off his can of beer and a few chicken wings Ron shook his head a little He'd had a few girlfriends but nothing serous like a wife. 

   "Nah no family here. Came close one time but I just realized I wasn't ready yet. I still like going to the bar, and shoot pool, working and just not my time yet. "

Seeing Kirk had finished off his beer too Ron stands heading for the kitchen before stopping.

   "Kirk want another one?"

As Kirk says yes Adison just looks again at him for a long moment. She didn't mind he drank, but she wondered why the sudden urge to have two in the matter of minutes. 

   "Is everything ok? You're acting...I dont know...you seem uncomfortable."

There wasn't enough time for him to reply as Ron came back handing him another beer and sitting down again. Looking Adison he smiled than to Kirk again.

   "Have you settled down with anyone Kirk? I mean I know your not married since no one else is here but is there that special person in your life?"

As Jason gives a jolt Katie wakes quickly. Looking around the room the light from the TV lit it up enough to see Jason in a bad dream. Gently laying a hand on his arm Katie tried to wake him, only to have him jerk and wrench his arm.

   "J...its ok...your safe. We are at work still...your safe."

Holding his hand close to her Katie gave it a light kiss. It had been a long time that she new of since Jason's dreams had come. She couldn't help but wonder if the stress on everything was getting to him. She felt bad, and just wished she could make it go away.

    "It's ok...I'm here...I got ya."
