Us Against All Odds (En)

Alternate custody

the engagement, unlike a simple courtship, was a decisive step that most men - including him - knew to appreciate

Carina had gone to work leaving the three women to themselves.

- "Aren't you tired? "

- "no, don't worry about us, it was quiet last night" replied Vic

- "no intervention?"

- "no big intervention instead." Replied Herrera

-"and who... Who managed? "

- "me" said Andy, before adding: "it was Sully who chose... And since we're still a bit on the outs, he's doing everything he can to make it up to me."

- "okay, okay."

- "So what do you want to do?" Hughes asked

-"actually... I'd like you to tell me what happened when Carina and I split up after I cheated on her with Jack. I know what I was like before and I'm afraid to think that I might have cheated on her..."

-"but you weren't together anymore," said Andy.

- "yes, but she hasn't been anywhere else. Since she and I have known each other, she has only been with me."

- "already, if it makes you feel better, you didn't sleep with anyone when you split up. And I'm sure of it because we were all the time together... For as long as your breakup lasted. I also broke up with Jackson at that time... Before I too got back together... But as you know, we broke up permanently when you were hospitalized..."

/Flashback/

It had been a few days since the blonde had deceived the Italian. She had spent all her evenings at work, all her free time to devote to reporting, or at the gym.

To vent all their frustration they had planned a party all together, three days after this breakup.

- "cap' we're having a party tomorrow night at my place"

- "no worries Dean"

- "Are you coming?! "

- "ah... Uh... No thanks, I have work to do"

- "Maya, relax, you know?! "

- "ok, ok I'm coming! "

The A-Team was at a party at Dean's water house.
Maya and Vic were dancing together.

- "huge knees.... "

- "So you dumped your hot doctor?"

- "So you dumped yours?"

- "yeah... Too bad for us..."

- "for them..."

- "we'll get over it"

Andy was talking with Jack about her personal problems. She had then gone out alone, on the terrace of the house on the water.

Maya had then joined her outside.

- "heyyy! "

- "I don't want to talk about my father or my husband, so if that's why you came..."

-"Not at all..." Said the captain, before a blank came between them: "well ok, you're right, that's why... So I'm going to stand in front of you in silence... Come on, let's dance, it's been a thousand years since we all partied together".

-"Okay, I'm coming, but I want a drink first," said the Puerto Rican woman as she walked around the outside table.

- "yes!!! Look who I'm taking back to the track! "
