Valentine's Day Massac...er...Dinner!
Everything Sammy knew about Valentine’s Day romance she learned from Nick. Flowers and candy. A really nice piece of jewelry. Reservations to Mom’s favorite restaurant. A late night slow dance on the terrace under the stars. Sneaking upstairs past the kid’s room and closing the door to the parents’ room. If she’d been dating a girl, she would’ve known exactly what to do, minus the kid part.

That Valentine’s Day was just around the corner didn’t really register with her. It wasn’t a holiday that she’d ever been involved with other than grade school card exchanges and ‘helping’ Dad pick out a gift for Mom. Also, she was distracted by a second request from Brendon Hill and this time he had a carrot to dangling in front of her. He would help her track down the escaped Zodiac members. Clearly she needed to talk to someone. This was what boyfriends were for, right?

	She nodded. "He's in SHIELD custody along with Mikel and a few others. I ignored the first one, but there was another waiting when we got back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What does he want?" he asks, his brow furrowed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know, but this time the message said he'd help hunt down the rest of the Zodiac if I meet with him. I want them, and not just because I can't shoot Mikel yet." She studied her hands. "Dad said whatever I did to Mikel he'd have done to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Qamar places his hand on her shoulder. "Maybe so... but I don't answer to your father." His expression is deadly-serious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He can keep as long as he's in custody." Sammy put her hand over his and squeezed. "This other thing is bothering me. I want the rest of them, but from all reports they've pretty much disappeared. If Hill can really give me some leads it might be worth listening to what he has to say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Or it could be a trap," Qamar replies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-02-14 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	"It could," she had to admit. "The question is, is it worth the risk of listening to what he has to say? Also, why deal with me? I have no authority and I'm pretty much out for revenge." She said the last with a half smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He shakes his head. "You have authority. It's just not on paper. Think about it, Sammy. You're the child of two of the most important SHIELD agents out there. You may not have a lot of rank, but many people in SHIELD will think twice before refusing one of your requests. And any power you might have in that area is entirely off the books." He shrugs. "And someone out for revenge can be easier to manipulate, because you can predict what they want."

	"So he probably believes I'm predictable. Dad probably believes it as well. The folks have to know about the requests because they're going through normal channels." She looked at him. "What do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-02-14 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I think it's better to ignore it. If he wants to help SHIELD capture people, he can do so through any agent, not just through you." He scratches his chin. "I think that if he's asking for you, he wants something from you, not that he wants to offer something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's out of luck because I don't have anything. Except you, and he can't have you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-02-15 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"You have more than that," he tells her, smiling. He brushes a hand across her cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-02-15 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"I can replace other things. Can't get another one of you, unless you're part of a cloning project that you forgot to mention." She turned her cheek into his hand. "So what's on the schedule today? You look really good in that suit. It would be a shame to keep you prisoner here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-02-15 02:20 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "I've managed to score tickets to the ballet, if you want to go," he offers. "And I've freed my schedule so I'm available for the rest of the day." He smiles. "We are totally on your timetable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-02-15 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Don't jinx yourself," she warned with a laugh, "you know how weird my timetable can get. It sounds great. Let me shower and dress, and then I'm all yours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-02-15 02:25 am UTC (link)
	He grins. "I'll be in the common room." He leans in to give her a kiss, then heads out to give her a chance to shower and change. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It didn't take Sammy long to get ready. She wasn't much a girly girl and she didn't like to keep anybody waiting. Inside a half hour she was descending the stairs with her high heels dangling in one hand and carrying a coat. (Reply to this)(Parent)
