Six Months Later

Sorry for the long wait, I had to think of things I could write for this and my mind just said "Eh, screw it. Do a time jump." so here we are, Six Months Later.

Months has passed since the Nautical Museum explosion, and the year was almost over. Samuel King had made his way to the rank Corporal over the months and was more than happy where he was.

"King, I need you to do a checkup on how the Nautical Museum repair is coming along." Chief Reyes said "And take Archer with you."

'Oh God, anyone but Archer!' Samuel thought

"Now, go!" The Chief snapped

"Great, I'm partners with the stupidest man alive who doesn't know what feelings are. Hooray." Archer said sarcastically

"Shut the hell up. You really think I'm that excited to be partners with you?"

"Please tell me you've visited that Donna chick after the explosion."

"No, I did not. I, unlike some people around here, I actually focus on my work!"

"Jesus."

They arrived at the construction site in a half an hour. It looked like Donna Laws was in charge of the new design, unless Samuel was wrong.

"Can I help you, officers?" Donna asked, her brown hair pulled back in a French braid.

"Just a checkup. Construction coming along all right?" Samuel asked "And are you the lead designer of the reconstruction, ma'am?"

"Oh, no. I may be Design Manager but I'd never be in charge of a project like this."

"Well, that sucks." Archer pulled out a flask.

"I hope you don't have any plans to drink whatever is in there." Samuel growled

"Care for some whiskey?" Archer asked him

"No. Put it away."

"Pff fine. I'm gonna go snoop around."

"It's called investigating for the millionth time."

Archer had disappeared into the construction site leaving Samuel and Donna alone. For a brief second, he was glad that his partner had finally left but it vanished into fear of what the idiot was getting himself in to and why he left the two of them together.

Archer poked his head out of the new building's doorway, "Go ahead!"

"Shut the hell up and get to work!" Samuel yelled back "Sorry about that."

"It's fine. Merry Christmas! It's almost here." Donna said "I have to get back to work."

"Merry Christmas." He replied with a smile which only turned into a frown after screams were heard in the Nautical Museum. "I better go see what that is."

"I have to go back that way anyways."

The two walked back only to find that the place had become an even bigger mess. "What the hell?!" Both exclaimed as they saw the damage done by Archer and whoever.

"I am not partnering with you again!" Samuel yelled

"Good. I don't want to be with an idiot who knows he likes someone and does nothing about it." Archer snorted

"When I tell the Chief she'll either fire you or put you on suspension!"

"Fine with me." Archer left "I'm taking the car!" He called

"No you won't"

He walked back in "What makes you so sure?" Samuel held up the keys. "God dammit."
