??? - No free day

This takes place in the ???-timeline of The Alteration.

"Good morning", Ann leaned over the back of the couch and looked down at her two friends "Sleep well?"

Sven blinked sleepily up at her "Like always..." Burt didn't react at all. He stayed sound asleep, with his head resting on his boyfriends' chest and his arms wrapped around the swedes' torso.

"So another rough night", she sighed before smiling again and waving a paper bag above Svens' head "I brought breakfast"

"Thanks... Where have you been last night?"

"You know... around"

"I actually don't know... Please don't get yourself into trouble again"

"I won't", Ann placed the bag on the coffee table before heading to the kitchen "You know I'm great at not getting caught"

"That's more worrying than reassuring" he couldn't really move at the moment so he just watched his friend getting everything ready for breakfast.

"So... what do you wanna do today?"

"Sleep?" They had finished their work at 11 PM the day before and whenever Burt had a 'rough night' Sven wasn't able to sleep either. So till now, at 9 AM, he had gotten about an hour of actual sleep. It would be wasting their day off though...

"Doesn't sound like the worst idea to be honest", she sat down on the floor next to the coffee table "Go ahead. It doesn't look like he's going to wake up any time soon and there's no food that could go cold"

Sven chuckled and gently stroked his boyfriends' messy, black hair "Yeah... Wake me up if you need me"

Ann gave a thumbs up and watched as her friend drifted off to sleep.

It didn't last very long though.

From both Burts' and Svens' rooms as well as Anns' pocket sounded a loud ringing. Both men jolted awake and Ann looked like she would love to grab and burn all phones in the apartment. "Bitch, what the fuck... It's our damn day off", she pulled her phone out of her pocket and took the call "What?!"

"Good morning to you too, Annie"

"Oh", this wasn't the person that deserved to be yelled at "Hey Terrence" She switched her phone to speaker, so that Sven and Burt could hear and talk to the older man as well.

"Morning Terrence"

"Sorry to bother you all on your day off. Again. But a job just came in and Carol decided to give it to you three"

Ann huffed "Course she did... They probably didn't want to pay more than a few hundred dollars"

"She didn't say anything about that. Just that you should be here for briefing in two hours"

Both Burt and Ann looked at Sven, who still looked incredibly tired and exhausted. Without a word Burt pulled him onto his lap and a blanket around them. Sven just laid his head on the taller mans' shoulder and closed his eyes. For however long this could last, he'd try to get some more rest.

"I promise you guys that you'll get your free day tomorrow"

"Already promised that yesterday...", Ann mumbled before standing up with her phone "Tell her we'll be there in five hours. And our phones are in the freezer till then"

They could hear Terrence laugh "Understandable. Have a nice day, kids"

"I swear... whoever hired us is going to pay..."
