*~COMPLETE~* Clay likes to keep certain aspects of his life a big secret, that includes Shane...his daughter. That is until he is looking for some downtime but refuses to let his team know where he is going which leads them all to track him down and...
After dinner the girls left and they were trying to set me up with Jensen the entire time. I just shook my head every time as did Jensen. Soon after dinner everyone went to bed and I just laid in bed staring at the ceiling. I couldn't sleep so after about an hour and a half I went down to the kitchen to get a snack. As I turned to the kitchen I saw the light on and Jensen standing at the microwave.
"Hey." I said in a quiet voice and he smiled.
"Hey, I didn't wake you did I?" Jensen asked and I shook my head.
"No, couldn't sleep and kind of hungry. What are you making?" I asked and Jensen smiled.
"Popcorn." Jensen said and I smiled as I got us some waters from the fridge.
"You are splitting that right?" I asked and he nodded.
"Of course." He said as it finished and he dumped it in 2 bowls he grabbed from the cupboard.
"So you want to watch a movie?" I asked grabbing some seasoning to put on my popcorn. Jensen looked at me oddly.
"What?" I asked and he pointed at the seasoning. I sprinkled some on his too.
"Hey!" He said.
"You'll thank me later." I said and we walked into the living room and I knew he wanted to watch a movie. We turned on some stupid movie and but it was to basically be background noise as we talked.
"Okay Jensen, I have to ask...-" I started to say.
"Jake, my first name is Jake. Jake Jensen. You don't need to call me Jensen all the time. It's too formal and military." Jake said and I smiled at him.
"Wasn't my question but okay...Jake...what is one of the weirdest ways you got out of a sticky situation?" I asked and he chuckled to himself.
"You really want to hear this?" Jake asked and I nodded.
"Yes please..." I said batting my eyelashes at him and he laughed.
"Okay, I had to steal some intel from a company computer posing as a tech guy I got in. On my way out I was cornered by 3-armed security guards. Well me thinking quick on my feet I held my fingers up like guns and I said "I am a lethal killing machine. It was a secret government experiment. They did stuff to me. Spooky stuff...anal stuff. Turned me into a dangerous telekinetic. As the ancient Tibetan philosophy states: Don't start none, wont be none." Well the one guard put his gun away but pulled out handcuffs telling me to try and telekinetic my way out of those. Well at the time one shot came through the window behind me and hit a guard, he thought I shot him. So another shot and I acted like I shot that one too. The third guard looked so terrified so I put on my best Clint Eastwood voice and said, "Face down or I'll make your heart stop beating with my mind." He did what I said, I turned around and gave a thumbs up thanks Cougar who was in a building across the street doing the actual shooting." Jake explained and I started laughing.

"You are ridiculous." I said and he smiled at me.
"You asked for the weirdest story." Jake said.
"I did, you delivered, so thank you." I said and he smiled. I noticed he was enjoying his popcorn and I snickered.
"What?" Jake said.
"I said you could thank me later for adding the seasoning, it's later." I said and Jake started laughing and just looked at me.
"You are clearly Clay's daughter." Jake said and I shrugged smile fading.
"Can I say something about my dad and you never repeat it?" I asked and Jake nodded.
"Of course you can." Jake said. I sighed and paused the movie.
"I love my dad, I really do and even though I got all of you right now I still have him here and I couldn't be happier. What I do hate is all of the school dances he missed me dressed up for, the school plays, choir performances I was in, graduations from high school, college and med school. He missed all of it. Did he buy me this house? Of course he did, I think he was trying to make up for everything he missed but him never being around, buying me a house doesn't make up for that. I mean maybe if he had been around...-" I stopped talking and Jake looked at me more intently.
"Maybe if he had been around what Shane?" Jake asked and I shook my head looking at my bowl in popcorn in my lap. I felt him place his thumb and pointer finger under my chin and lift my face to look at him.
"What Shaney?" Jack asked and I gave a small smile.
"Maybe if my dad had been around my mom would be alive." I said and Jensen sighed.
"Shaney..." Jake said and I just slightly shook my head.
"No, that's wrong for me to think right? I mean it's not like he killed her or had her killed..." I trailed off getting out of Jake's grip. Jake placed his hand back under my chin making me look at him again since my gaze had dropped.
"Hey, I know he missed everything and you don't like that he did. He was always checking on you. I told you I found you on the satellite recently. It wasn't the first time I did it for him. He always was watching you." Jake said and I smiled at him.
"Thank you Jake." I said, he smiled leaning in and kissed my forehead. I smiled when he did. Let's finish this movie, shall we?" Jake said. I grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch, covered us up and laid my head on his shoulder.
"Let's do it, I'm comfy now." I said and he laughed as we resumed the movie.
