Keeping Time

Kick In The Teeth

It had been a long night for all of them, Raymond hadn't gotten home until late after 2am and hadn't fallen asleep before 3.

Will Salas had escaped with Sylvia Weis, Time was in danger, Will Salas could make a big problem with the system, especially if he asks for a ransom.

Then there was the thought of what he had done last night to Emerson. He had pulled her into his chest and held on for precious minutes, Emerson must have been completely caught off guard.

It had been completely inappropriate. Leon considered picking her up for work this morning too but changed his mind, he obviously needed some space from his assistant.

His emotions were starting to get in the way of their relationship.

Instead Time Keeper Leon headed out to Daytan to see what he could come up with, he had been pushing 80 miles per hour when he came across the wrecked vehicle Salas had been driving the night before, Raymond slammed on the breaks backing up to get a better look.

Salas had gotten himself in a wreck, how ironic.

"Dispatch." He called as he stared down at the car.

"Yes. Time Keeper Leon." The female voice replied.

"Send my location to Time Keepers Jaeger and Korsq, tell them to meet me as soon as possible." He replied smacking his gum, a bubble of pride and accomplishment growing in his chest.

"Right away, Sir." She replied quickly typing into the keyboard.

"One more thing, tell them to bring Time Keeper Emerson." He added as he started on his way down the bridge towards the wreckage.

"Where is Leon?" Emerson asked somewhat annoyed this morning, she had expected him to pick her up himself, but who was she kidding? That must have been a one-time thing.

She was late to work because she had been waiting for him before she called for a pick up.

"Went for a drive." Jaeger replied nonchalantly as he leant against the desk that Korsq was currently sitting at typing on a computers keyboard.

"Wonderful." She replied before plopping down in a seat across from Korsq.

"Now what am I supposed to do?" She asked, Jaeger and Korsq looked at each other awkwardly for a moment, Korsq finally halted on the typing, Jaeger cleared his throat uncomfortably, Emerson furrowed her brows at the duo, had they been getting into something?

"Well um...well we wait for Time Keeper Leon to give us orders." He replied, Korsq nodded swiftly to confirm his statement, then began typing again like a wild man, he must be working on some kind of report.

Emerson sighed bored before standing up and stretching.

"Sometimes we go to the shooting range." Korsq stated randomly.

"Now that sounds entertaining." She replied and grinned.

Emerson had shot a gun many times in her life, in fact she was known for hitting the bulls eye more often than not.

She used to carry a gun with her on the job before taking the place as Leon's assistant.

Korsq and Jaeger stood in their own sections firing off a few rounds just to blow off some steam.

Emerson found herself smiling broadly for the first time in a couple months.
