It Was Her

Eli's eyes went wide and he looked at Ryan, Hunter, Scarlet, then back again. What on earth was their problem? 

Hunter had both elbows on the table, fork loosely held in one hand near his mouth as his face reddened from desperately trying not to laugh. He couldn't even look at Ryan, lest he burst. His eyes started to water as he stared at his steak. 

Eli smirked at Scarlet's comment. "Oh I'll call pest control all right..." His eyes narrowed in on Hunter. "I think I know right where the pest is, too."

Hunter couldn't hold it in any longer. Thankfully his mouth was empty of food as he started to silently laugh. His eyes scrunched together and his shoulders shook. Without looking, he reached beside him and gave Ryan's shoulder a shove. "It wasn't me," he managed, gasping. "It was her."


Hearing how well the evening with Aaron had gone, Hal was glad... he really was. He couldn't help his irritation though. Holding his tongue for a long moment, he slipped his coffee slowly to keep from losing his temper. "Sounds like you've made real progress with him," he finally responded. He took another sip of coffee.

"Glad nothing went wrong..." His eyes were on his desk until he swiveled in his chair to look at her. His expression wasn't a happy one. "Would probably have been smart to tell someone what you were doing." He tried to keep his tone even. "You realize you not only risked your own safety, but the entire rehab program, and Aaron's future, right? All you needed to do was have someone nearby just in case Aaron tried to pull something." He shook his head. "I'm honestly surprised. Do I need to tell Ty to call me if you come in at night?"
