He was important. That's all.
In more ways than one Tim was important to me. I walked out as the bed and breakfast was serving simple Mac and cheese for dinner. There was silence at the table until Jenn dropped her spoon and sighed frustrated as she picked it up. I understood how she was feeling and the person in charge of us coming to this part of the forest was Tim.
"Tim, you said you'd explain why were in this location specifically. Do you think whoever did something to Feel came all the way out here?" I was curious too, why this specific location? Why not smack inside someone basement in the middle of the woods.
"I had a hunch and we had leads that took us towards this direction it might not be here maybe a little further east. This is just a rest stop." Tim reassured her and my friend nodded and stood to excuse herself from the table. I should go after her but she would want space Felicity going wasn't news she had been expecting and my heart ached I had so much to say to Feel when I saw her.
"Have you gotten anything else relation to those papers?" Tim asked near me as my eyes automatically driften to Q.
"No none it's like he took a break in it," I leaned towards Tim where I was sure I could whisper low enough just for us two "has your guy said anything maybe to get back?"
Tim made a hand phone sign and I nodded, that meant I had to call and find out. I refused to look up from my plate when I was done talking to Tim I could feel Q staring. Not the kind of staring you'd appreciate. I hope he didn't think just because he got one blow job that he owes me anything. Fuck.
"We should look tonight." Q said as we ate. I shook my head, his eyes met mine. I shook my head again and then put my cutlery down his stare turned to a glare.
"This area isn't safe what exactly are you going to explore Lara Croft?" I asked and he looked me dead in the eyes and crossed his arms on the table.
"You have two men with you combat trained and well this area has a history of bodies being picked and well I'm not implying anything-"
"I must be on something cause I almost thought you called my best friend a corpse." I said quietly as I stood right now I was not going to sit back about this I was on edge I didn't need this. Fuck him.
"What? I didn't mean to imply that. There's no need for you to go overboard with this. I was dragged along to fucking help you!"
Tim held my arm and softly put me back on the chair and then stood up himself his height slightly over weighing Q's.
"Quincy....Q or whatever you want to be called. One you don't speak to a woman that way, if that's your version of insuring dominance, be mature about it. Two you're not going to refer to someone dear to us as a corpse have some fucking respect." Tim said, made his point and then sat back down to eat. Still despite Tim warning me he still replied directing his words to me.
"Your call. We either stay and make the search in the morning harder or we go now and see if we can cover some fresh tracks first. We can play house or find your friend." He said and I had to physically hold Tim next to me for him to cool down. He'd just ignored Tim like he had no regard or purpose for this conversation.
"We go with what I said before this area isn't safe. So no, we aren't leaving." I said finally and suddenly there was this annoying tension hanging in the air. Quite literally I could cut it like paper.
"A word V." I was drained from this already I didnt want to argue with him on top of that also. I felt a hand hold me back and I stayed where the hand kept me. Yes I was a coward and I really didn't want to deal with Q when he was like this.
"Look, man this has nothing to do with you. So back the fuck off our conversation." I sneared lightly for someone to hear because what the hell was this boy thinking? Tim wasn't your average tall built guy.
"V is my business. She has always been. So if you have something to fucking share, share it for the class." I sank to my chair hoping it had like a portal I could put myself through. Anything was better than these two men arguing.
"What the hell? Pretty girl gets a hook up in the force and suddenly you're untouchable?" Q commented and I slammed the table under me to silence him. If he said one more thing about People close to me, I was going to lose my shit.
"Fine let's go. Since you're so eager to go in the middle of the night," I said and intentionally bumped into him so I could pass and get my jacket. God, I hate him. I hated Q for whatever events occured today.
