They entered through the kitchen door and went into the foyer, passing
Jonathan who was now leaving.

"Oh there you are." he said, greeting them both with a slight grin "On my
way out for the night but I think Mr. Sloan is looking for you.  He's
upstairs with Amber unloading a couple of crates he brought with him."

"Thanks Jonathan." Julia said, squeezing Derek's hand as they started toward
the stairs.

Jonathan waved at them both and hurried out, his wife waiting for him in the
car.

"Good night Jonathan," Derek said and started up the stairs.  As he entered
the library he saw the duo.  "So...were things in Afghanistan bit to
dangerous for you," he asked Sloan with a raised eyebrow.
