Sammy was, quite possibly for the first time in months, awake early in a good mood. Coffee was an enhancement rather than a crutch this morning. Her first successful dinner with Qamar had brought up something she hadn't paid much attention to over the summer. She was registered for the fall semester but she hadn't finalized her schedule.

It had to be done. To that end, she was at her favorite coffee shop with her laptop to enjoy the morning and double check her schedule. Funny enough, she was looking forward to going back. The summer off had been just what she needed to give her a boost and refocus her goals.

Just as she asked the waitress for another cup and a second muffin, her cell phone vibrated in pocket. The display was an unfamiliar number. Ordinarily she would have ignored it, but it could be from Mikel at a different number.

She waited for the waitress to leave before answering. "Hello?"

	And there went the little sister inside, happy that big brother wanted to see her. Sammy squashed her down. "Can you tell me something? Why did Mikel pick now to show up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-03 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Therese shrugged. "I honestly don't know why he picked now. He doesn't let me in on the inner workings of his mind." Though she supposed could find out if she wanted to. "And I didn't ask. You know how guys are sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy blew out a sigh. Why did she get the feeling that Therese wasn't telling her the truth? Because she was paranoid. Of course. She had to stop it. The woman was being nice and trying to get along. The least Sammy could do would be to help the process along. "Coffee here is good. Sandwiches, too. It's a little far to go to my regular place uptown. My treat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let me buy lunch since this was my idea. You can get it next time, okay?" She stood up and carried the boots over to the checkout counter. A few minutes later after the boots were paid for she turned toward Sammy. "Ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 09:22 am UTC (link)
	"Ready." Macy's Cellar Bar and Grill on the bottom floor was doing a brisk business, but they still managed to find a table and get served coffee in a reasonable amount of time. Sammy tried to find a topic they could discuss without her badgering the poor woman for more brother information. "You said you worked for the government before joining Mikel's team?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 09:25 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. Just desk work. It was nothing exciting though." She sipped her coffee. "Apparently I'm a good organizer which is why I seem to find myself behind desks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 09:30 am UTC (link)
	"Never underestimate the value of the person who keeps everything else in line," Sammy said with a half smile. Mom was a great organizer. It was like Mikel was creating a similar life to Dad's. "How long did you work for the government?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 09:33 am UTC (link)
	"It was just under a year," Therese answered. She had been expecting questions and had answers prepared. Mikel had given her a good idea of what his sister was like. "Just long enough to get bored of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 09:39 am UTC (link)
	"That's not long. How did you meet Mikel?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 09:41 am UTC (link)
	"I get bored rather easily," she admitted. "He was working a contract for the government and had some paperwork problems." It was close enough to be the truth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 09:48 am UTC (link)
	Sammy's expression brightened. Paperwork always left a trail. "You like this work better? It is a big team?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 09:50 am UTC (link)
	"It doesn't get dull, if that's what you mean by like." She sipped her coffee. "We have ten or eleven or so right now. We're slowly getting bigger, but we're not rushing it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:01 am UTC (link)
	"That would be what I meant. The idea of a desk job makes my skin itch. Spending time in a classroom is just as bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:02 am UTC (link)
	"But at least time in a classroom is working toward a goal. Time behind a desk really isn't like that," Therese pointed out. "There's something to work toward when you're taking classes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:15 am UTC (link)
	"I'm impatient to get to the Academy and I can't apply for full time there until I get my degree." She grinned at Therese. "Mom tells me it's an inherited trait. Any chance Mikel has the impatient gene too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:16 am UTC (link)
	Therese smiled a little. "He does. He doesn't like to wait for something, but in the past year that I've known him, he's getting better about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:21 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe it's because of you," Sammy suggested. "A balancing influence, maybe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Therese laughed. "I doubt it. I'm pretty impatient myself. I think it's all him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:25 am UTC (link)
	"Well, he's getting older. That could be it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:26 am UTC (link)
	Therese smiled. "That could very well be it. I hear age can do that to a person." She sipped her coffee some more. "How's Qamar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Her cup of coffee became the most interesting thing in the world at that moment. Sammy looked down into the murky liquid when she felt her face grow a little warm. "He's fine. Busy with school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:33 am UTC (link)
	"So what's up with you two? Are you dating, or is this a casual thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:41 am UTC (link)
	She continued to investigate her coffee for signs of life. "Not a lot of guys want to date Col. Fury's little girl and her Glock. Qamar seems to be willing to date Sam Fury. And her Glock. I like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:42 am UTC (link)
	So it wasn't serious and not worth using the guy against her. "I wish you the best of luck with that. He seems like a really nice guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:48 am UTC (link)
	"He is." Sammy lifted her face to look at Therese. "Mikel gets any bright idea to pull a Big Brother act, and I'll have to shoot him in the leg." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
