For the next couple of days, Kenny finds himself helping to relieve some of Craig's heat each time Craig comes to see him when he's alone. Eventually Craig's heat passes by and the day to move him back across the border arrives.
"Alright, so we'll be moving in a couple hours once we reach the border," Kenny says to his team, "that's all," and members of it file out of the room, wearing their uniforms.
"You sure this is a good idea?" Stan asks him, "Only going with so few of us?"
"Yeah," Kenny replies, "it will be easier to move this way."
"Well, you're the boss," Stan shrugs.
"Anyways, I'm going to go and check to see if Craig is ready to head out soon," Kenny informs as he heads off.
"Oh yeah," Stan says, as if recalling something, "is uh, is he going to be okay with... 'you know who', being there?"
"He should be, I think," Kenny replies.
"You think?" Stan repeats.
"I don't think we should worry about it too much until the time comes."
"Ken-"
"I'll see you in a bit Stan," Kenny quickly says, as he heads off with a small wave and Stan sighs.
Kenny enters into Craig's room with a small knock, and finds him lying on the bed wearing his old parka again.
"Hey, we're going to be heading out soon, are you ready?" Kenny asks. Craig's head moves and buries into the pillow with a small groan and Kenny walks over to him," Craig?" he takes a seat on the side of the bed, "You okay?"
Craig moves his head and looks up at Kenny for a moment, before he sits up and stays there, silent. His gaze wanders across the bedcover and falls onto Kenny's hand resting on it. And it's there again, something more behind Craig's gaze.
"Craig?" Kenny asks again, concerned.
"I'm ready," Craig says and glances off.
"Alright, I'll uh, I'll wait for you outside then," Kenny says and stands up.
Craig glances at him once more, as Kenny exits the room. Once Craig meets him outside of the room, wearing the new clothes given to him, along with the parka, they head off.
They enter into a garage and join up with a few members of Kenny's team.
"Everyone here? Good, then let's go," Kenny says, taking note of everyone and heading to a car with tinted windows.
Two of the members slip into the front seats, while Craig slides into the back along with Kenny and one other member.
"Hi there!" a chipper female voice greets Craig, "I don't think we've properly met before," a hand is extended towards him, and Craig stares at it, "well?" she says, "You going to shake my hand or what? Don't leave me hanging."
"If he doesn't want to shake your hand, then he doesn't want to shake it. So stop hitting on him already," Stan says.
"Wow, rude! I'm not hitting on him," the female member says, "besides, you should know that I'm already in a happily committed relationship, thank you very much."
"Yeah I do, but I also know that you like to still flirt anyways," Stan retorts.
"Oh shush, don't be jealous."
"I'm not," Stan says.
"Mhmmm," the female hums.
"Guys, can you not? I don't want to listen to this pointless squabble on the way there," the driver, who's voice belonged to Kyle, says.
