After breakfast, Mia and Bucky were cleaning the dishes, to help out and so the couple could talk.

"Your going down to the police station after this aren't you?" Mia asked.

Bucky nods. "I'm gonna see what they have. See how I can help, since I'm an Avenger. Depending on what they say and what happens over the next week, we may have to call your father and the rest of the Avengers in."

Mia sighs. "Bucky. We're suppose to be having a normal vacation."

He kissed her forehead. "I know doll. I'm sorry, but duty calls."

Mia was washing, while Bucky dried and put the plates away.

"I know. Sometimes it sucks to be dating a superhero." Mia teased.

Bucky rolled his eyes. "Terrible."

Luckily they were alone, and talking quietly, so no one could hear them.

"Do you get off vibes from Michael?" Mia whispered.

"What kind of vibes?" Bucky asked.

"Criminal." Mia clarified.

Bucky huffed out a breath. "Yeah, but nothing like murder. He strikes me as a little young for this particular crime, but I can't say for sure until I get my hands on the police reports. Why? You get those vibes?"

Mia nods. "In heaps."

"Either way. I don't like how he looked at you when we first arrived. When I'm gone, try to make sure your with your mom or John constantly."

"Okay." Mia agreed.

"Something bothering you doll?" Bucky asked.

"The murder, I feel like it's connected. But can't be sure till I get my hands on that police report." Mia smirked.

Bucky rolled his eyes again. "Can't have you staying up too late. Don't know how Michael does it."

"What?" Mia stopped.

Bucky nods. "Yeah. He left the house last night about 11:30. I don't know when he returned, but he definitely left when everyone was asleep."

"That's strange."

Bucky shrugged. "Not really. I think all teen boys his age sneak out."

"I didn't. Did you?" Mia asks.

"Doll. I grew up in the late 20s. Times are different." Bucky held a small smile.

"I know you still have a hard time sleeping, but I wish you'd heard when he came in. Or at least caught a glimpse of him." Mia said.

"Look at you. One day home and already looking to pin a murder on someone." Bucky teased.

Mia rolled her eyes. "Oh please."

"In all seriousness. Everyone is a suspect. I'll get a look at that paperwork today and take my own notes. I'll keep an eye on him doll." Bucky promised.

"Good." Mia nods as she leans in to kiss Bucky's lips.

"And for the record, since sleeping in the same bed as you, I don't get those nightmares." Bucky bragged.

Again, Mia rolled her eyes. "I'm not that special."

Bucky wrapped his arms around her waist. "Doll your everything to me."
