Daws nodded. "All right." She pushed her own plate back and glanced at Roger. "You need any help with cleaning up?"

Roger grinned. "Ask me when the Spooks are outta here. Then you can help me strip the place to the walls and disinfect it."
"It's all for the cause." Vance rolled his eye and took Daws' arm, picking up the keys to Roger's car. "I'll be back in a few."
With an amiable shrug, Roger flopped down on the sofa to watch the baseball game. "Mind filling 'er up while you're out?"
"Moocher. Since I've had you running around today, though, I'll do it." The Major gave Daws a slight grin and steered her out the door. "So much for commanding respect."

Daws smirked at him as the pair headed towards the foyer. "And don't you just love it?"
Before Vance could form any sort of a reply, a pair of Spook boys dashed through the lobby of the building heading for the stairs. Daws sidestepped, barely avoiding a collision, and shook her head wryly. "I swear, the gravitational pull between a Spook kid and my legs is higher than normal."

"They're a drag, alright." Vance shook his head as he slid into the driver's seat of the car. "I'm getting to be sorry we ever tried to get their help. We've never learned anything useful from 'em, and just gotten a lot of trouble we can't get out of."

"Well, maybe something good will come of it eventually." Daws said, not sounding particularly convinced. "Either way, there's not much more we can do to get out of it."

The conversation lapsed into small talk until Vance pulled up in front of Daws' apartment. He stepped out of the car and walked up to the door with her.
"I guess all I can do for now is lay low and take care of my own," he said restlessly. "You're going to be the busy one, keeping an eye on how the bat deals with Sid and Cole. Heaven forbid they all turn up together at that election-night party..."

Daws winced. "Don't say it. Don't even think it. That's a mess I've got no desire to see happen."

Vance frowned. "I can't show my own face, but if you just say the word, I'll send some backup anywhere you need 'em. Guys Tiernan never knew."

Daws nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. And thanks." She squeezed Vance's hand with a faint smile. "You take care of yourself, Major."

"Mm-hmm." Vance smiled gently and brushed his thumb across Daws' cheek. "Same to yourself, kid."
Giving her a wink with his good eye, he turned and headed down to the sidewalk.
