"I think that would be best. You will be around right? In case something comes up and I need to contact you before we leave?"
"Yes I will. Here is my number." Damian grabbed a peice of paper and wrote down his number. "You should be able to reach me, except at night during the full moon."
"Well, officially I'm going to be in debt for about 6 months to cover that cost. And only cause I had to settle for Anubis line because for some reason Dallas flights are pretty full? Maybe its cause its the weekend. They only had like, 4 more spots available and we got 2 of them. We leave on Saturday at 8pm to get in Dallas at 8:30pm.. or something like that. I booked us for two nights just in case, but with my magic we should be able to find her in no time."
"I am very okay with that. What is up with Dallas?" Damian was wanting to know a lot of things. Who took her and why? "And thank you Brandy and I can help with the cost."
"I have to get us a ride to the airport, when we get there we will check into our rooms and I can pinpoint her exact location once we get there! It will be a snap!"
"Really. Thank you so much." Damian couldn't help but smile up at Brandy. He smelt Sam, he was getting very angry. 'did i do something' Damian thought.
"Could you give us some privacy please."
"Of course." Damian walked out the room and back down the hall into the bar. He sat back down next to the were, who was looking at the other shifter. He decided to look. She was cute. But she looked scared. "Do you know what is up with her?" Damian asked the were.

Oh, Brandy knew she was in trouble. She had blatantly been avoiding Sam's disapproving gaze and even tuned out his tapping foot. She held the straightest possible face she could for Damian though, almost stalling in her demeanor because she knew of the eruption from Sam that was about to come.
"Yes I will. Here is my number. You should be able to reach me, except at night during the full moon."
Brandy nodded, stuffing the phone number into her pocket. She had a feeling in the back of her head that her full moon was going to be eventful as well.
"I am very okay with that. What is up with Dallas? And thank you Brandy and I can help with the cost.
Brandy didn't know what was up with Dallas, so she just shrugged. When he offered her help with the cost she frantically shook her hand.
"Take your time with that, as long as my minimum is paid every month my credit stays in good standing"
"Really. Thank you so much."
"It's the least I could do, I hate to see anybody worried about someone they care about.. and it's even worse not knowing where they are when they were expected."
"Could you give us some privacy please?"
Uh oh. That tone didn't sound very good at all. Brandy cringed before she waved to Damian, and tried to make herself busy by casually pretending to 'read' the spines of the books on the shelf.
.. she was in for an earful.

Sam waited till Damian was out of his office and the door was closed over. He was absolutely beside himself. He paced across the room a bit, before stopping and running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. He looked to Brandy, a look of sheer exasperation.
"So, you're just going to fly off to Dallas with a complete stranger?" Sam tried to keep his temper from flaring too badly. Brandy was just way too trusting and wanted to help everyone she met. It was a good trait to be so kind. But it was also a weakness to people who would use it against her.
"You are far too good to people Brandy. One of these days it's going to come back to haunt you."
Sam just didn't know what to do with himself. He was disapointed and against his own better judgement, a little jealous.

"So, you're just going to fly off to Dallas with a complete stranger?"
".. not really a complete stranger.. his name is Damian, he is a werewolf, and his phone number is.. (at this point she ruffled through her pockets, pulling out the piece of paper that had Damian's writing on it) 555-3213"
It was hard to tell if Brandy was being serious, or if she was just trying to lighten the mood. She still had her back to him, and she could feel him pacing around the room. Maybe she was just trying to lighten the mood, even she didn't know.
"You are far too good to people Brandy. One of these days it's going to come back to haunt you."
"It might. But I will always have you to turn to won't I?"
She turned around, finally, at that moment to face him. There was a soft, trusting smile on her face as she approached him and stopped just in front of him. Her left hand reached up, placing it gently on his right cheek. He wasn't really mad at her, she knew that.. he was just.. worried.
"You do things that could come back and bite you in your @ss. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I wasn't willing to do the same?"

There was a real nervous energy about the pretty blonde shifter. Summer observed her casually. Staring at her too long would be noticable and really hard to explain. So every now and then Summer cast a friendly, but not too friendly glance over her direction.
"Do you know what is up with her?"
The voice of Damian, the young Were who'd enlisted Brandy's help to find a missing girl spoke to her. She shrugged her shoulders at him. "No idea. Not my business." she threw him a wary look. "I hope you haven't gotten my girl into any trouble. Or to put it bluntly, don't get my girl into trouble." Summer smiled sweetly, but the sweetness masked a deep sincerity about her protection of Brandy.

Sam scowled at this. He wasn't in the mood for jokes, when his girlfriend was going off on some hairbrained plan for a guy she hardly knew.
"It might. But I will always have you to turn to won't I?
Sam's face remain unchanged. He barely flinched. "That's not the point Brandy. What if something happens to you there? I can't get to you in time."
"You do things that could come back and bite you in your @ss. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I wasn't willing to do the same?"
Sam mulled this over and over in his head for a few moments. Of course they'd always be there for each other, but this. This felt different. "What things have I done that will bite me in my @ss?" Sam pulled a look of disblief then of defeat. Brandy was as stubborn as he was and that was frustrating. "You're gonna go wether I like it or not huh?"

"That's not the point Brandy. What if something happens to you there? I can't get to you in time."
She sighed, stepping back from him. He wasn't in the mood for jokes and it was her way of escaping and not having to take things seriously. What if he was right? What if something bad were to happen to her while she was gone - he wasn't exactly just a phone call away.
"It was rash of me. I get that."
The truth was, as she walked toward the wall and put her hand against the cool surface, she had never really considered Sam's feelings in all of this. She wasn't a good girlfriend after all, to not even ask him if he minded.
"What things have I done that will bite me in my @ss?"
".. you got together with me."
The words came out in a hushed whisper without her even wanting them too. She just opened her mouth and out the words came. She was hoping he hadn't heard them.
"You're gonna go wether I like it or not huh?"
Brandy was silent for a long moment, crossing her arms underneath her breasts as she refused to look at him. Not because she didn't want too, but because she knew he was angry and disappointed in the whole situation.
"Yes"
It was all she could say at that point.

"It was rash of me. I get that."
Brandy sounded regretful, she looked so forlon standing against the wall of the office. Sam desperately wanted to just pull her close to him and just hold her.
".. you got together with me."
Her words came out low and hushed. Did she mean for him to hear it? Wasn't important, what was important was she did say it and it made his heart sink. He was about to reach out for her when she said she would go to Dallas regardless.
"Brandy." his urge to hold her took over and he reached out for her. "Come here, please."

"No idea. Not my business. I hope you haven't gotten my girl into any trouble. Or to put it bluntly, don't get my girl into trouble."
"I would like to know. And I am not trying to get Brandy in any trouble. She volentered. I didn't ask." Damian looked up. "I can protect her and I would die for her." That was true Damian might not know the girl, but she helped him a lot so he was going to help her back.
"I mean it, too. She is sweet and she deserves to be alive more then I do." Damian cheated on his true love and that was bad. Brandy was sweet and was helping her, even if that costed her things she didn't want to get rid of.

"Brandy."
He called her name, and she looked over her shoulder toward him. That look in his eyes told her that he had heard what she said.. even though it was not her intention for the words to even come out.
"Come here, please."
She took in a breath and walked over to him, stopping just in front of him with her head down.
"You weren't suppose to hear that.. "
She sighed, and leaned her head forward to rest against his chest. All she was looking at was her feet, however, her mind was sort of blank on what else to say.
"I promise I'll call as soon as I get there, and as soon as we find her. I just, I guess I'm feeling bad because I didn't even ask you or wait for your opinion. I feel really bad about that Sam, and I'm sorry."

Summer gaped at Damian's words. "Die for her?" she said back to him in a low hushed tone. What was it with the Supes here, making there business so d*mn obvious.
"Really need to not be sayin' things like that." Summer began "You're...like me. So I know you have the ability to protect her. But I want my girl back in one piece and unscathed, you hear me?"
Summer dabbed at her mouth with a napkin as she polished off her burger. She pointed toward him, napkin still in hand. "Cause is even so much as a hair on her head is damaged..." Summer trailed off with a devious grin that said all she needed to say.

"Die for her?"
"Yes because she is sweeter then me. and deserves life more then I do." Damian didn't know how she would feel about this but he didn't care. It was the truth.
"Really need to not be sayin' things like that. You're...like me. So I know you have the ability to protect her. But I want my girl back in one piece and unscathed, you hear me?"
"I promise that Brandy would not be harmed. If you like I will keep her from the most likely bad side of our trip. But if she still wants to go then I can't stop her but I will protect her. If not you can hurt me."

Summer shook her head at Damian. His interest in his own fate worried her, especially with Brandy agreeing to help him look for his missing girlfriend. "Listen, you really need to stop with this Knight in shining armour crap." she kept her words low so no unsuspecting ears would pick up on there conversation. "I get it, you're happy B's helping you out and I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not thrilled at the idea, but it's her choice. So you better protect her. She's risking a lot just to even suggest helping you."
Summer looked away from the male Were. She had said her piece and was now waiting for Brandy and Sam to come back out the office. She hoped Sam wasn't being too hard on her, even though Brandy was incredibly careless and unthinking of his feelings.

"You weren't suppose to hear that.. "
Sam wrapped Brandy up in his arms and kissed the top of her head lightly. "Shifter ears babe. Not much gets passed them unless I want it too."
"I promise I'll call as soon as I get there, and as soon as we find her. I just, I guess I'm feeling bad because I didn't even ask you or wait for your opinion. I feel really bad about that Sam, and I'm sorry."
Sam pulled her out from his tight embrace, resting his hands on her shoulders. One hand went under her chin, bringing her face up to meet his. "I know you will. You know I trust you, right?" he brushed a few loose strands of Brandy's hair from her face and he looked sympathetic. "You're just really enthusiastic and want to show kindness. It's a good trait to have, just don't let others abuse it."

"I know you will. You know I trust you, right?"
Brandy nodded, of course she knew Sam trusted her. But it wasn't her that he was worried about. It was everyone else, and she was going to be out of his reach for a couple days. Kind of hard for a couple that has spent every day together for the last 3 weeks..
"You're just really enthusiastic and want to show kindness. It's a good trait to have, just don't let others abuse it."
"I trust Damian, he has a good heart. I wouldn't of been so eager to help him if he didn't."
Brandy looked at Sam reassuringly and rose up slightly to softly give him a gentle kiss. She was glad she was able to talk to him, and things seemed to be better between them now.
"We should head back out there, before the whole bar thinks we are doing other things in here besides talking"
Brandy smirked and headed toward the door, with the trip only a few sleeps away there was a lot she had to do.
