Methos walked through the front door with two paper bags in his arms. Once inside he kicked the door closed and threw his keys on the small side table in the living room. He walked into the kitchen and started to empty the bags. A six pack of beer, a couple bottles of wine, mixed greens, tomatoes onions. All the supplies needed for a quiet guest evening for three.

He still couldn’t believe he was doing this. The Scott was going to owe him big time. He flew all the way down here to Atlanta rented a two bedroom apartment. McLeod was footing the bill so it wasn’t too bad. Methos just wished he knew what this was all about. He went about fixing the wonderful Italian dinner. If nothing else over his 5000 plus years he had learned to cook when everything was just about finished he felt the tale tale sign of his friend’s arrival. He smirked and wiped his hands on the dish towel he had tucked into his belt loop.

The taxi stopped in front of the apartment complex. It was very nondescript brick building, typical Methos, Duncan thought. He paid the driver and got out with Diana. Duncan being the gentleman picked up her bags as well as his own. They headed to the apartment it was on the top floor so they had to climb three flights of steps. He knocked on the door and waited.

Methos was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner. He pulled the garlic bread out of the oven, and then went to answer the door.

Duncan took up the entrance way knowing Methos would meet him at the door with his sword. Once Methos was sure of whom it was he opened the door wide and made a grand jester with his arms. “Me casa es sue casa.” He stated a huge smirk on his face. Duncan just shook his head picked up the luggage and walked inside.

That’s when Methos seen Diana. She seemed just a little unsure “Hello, please come in. You must be Diana. I’m Adam Person.” Methos stated pouring the charm on. “Please let me get your jacket. Dinner will be ready shortly.” He took the jacket and hung it up assessing her both as a threat and a woman. Methos definitely liked what he seen with the long brown hair she was shorter than him about 5’4 he guessed with a medium athletic build. She was very pretty.

Diana walked into the living room behind Duncan. She stood in the center of the room and  looked around next to her was a black leather couch  a nice entertainment center was up against the far wall, two end tables were on each side of the couch and two book shelves were placed on the wall closest to the door. She walked over to the book shelves the books ranged from history to romance and just about everything in between. She picked up a book that looked really old.

“I picked that one up about fifty years ago. The British Museum was getting rid of some inventory to raise funds for a new exhibit. This was on the auction block.” Methos explained he was right behind her Diana had been startled having not heard him move so close.

“It’s beautiful. So, I take it you like history?” She asked. Diana heard Duncan stifle a snicker but ignored it; instead she looked up into Adam’s eyes. She seen mild amusement but his eyes were also warm and sincere.
