"I'll be outside," Derek announced, but before leaving he turned to Brady.

"I trust you can handling carrying the equipment?"  He could tell that Julia
was getting tired and he didn't want her hauling around heavy components.

"If you need help come and get me."  He headed for the door, pulling out his
keys and giving Julia a warning glance, which said "don't even think about
it."


NM:
Julia had to bite back not only an exasperated grin but a salute at Derek's
tone as he left, shaking her head humorously until she heard Sam questioning
Milo about Derek's interests.

She looked at Milo with a raised eyebrow, wondering how the man would answer
that one and too sure she liked the subject itself.

"Right now," she answered honestly and still with the same friendly half
smile even though she was starting to feel the drain as she turned to go
with Claire and Brady "His interest is in getting home.  Excuse us please.
Milo, mind giving a hand?"


As soon as the two left the living room Reese half whapped her friend in the
arm "Talk about obvious." she teased, thinking back on the quick visit and
body language of each person.

"At least the guys aren't going to get into real trouble." she said
thoughtful before concentrating on Sam again "And I'm surprised you didn't
sit Julia in the corner and ask for Derek's number outright."

She chuckled as she went to pick up her purse and come back "This is going
to be interesting to say the least...... and I'm not talking about seeing
Milo's residence either."
