>Derek shook his head.  "I promised Julia we
>wouldn't," he said.  "Just get him home."

"Spoil my fun why don't you." Nick mock grumbled as he
used his headset to contact the London House they were
approaching.  Moments later they were landing on the
clearing behind it.


Sloan was well aware of both of their antagonism but
ignored it.  Derek had always been stubborn about his
grudges and held them longer than forever when it came
to someone possibly endangering or knowing Julia was
in danger.  He could only hope the younger Precept
would realize what he was saying was that he knew
Derek would get rid of the seplicurs because he wanted
to keep his wife and child safe, not that he was
putting them in danger.

"Thank you for not pushing me out." he said dryly as
Nick landed the helicopter.



"You're welcome." Nick said, not bothering to deny
that it had been in his mind to do just that.  "Don't
call us, we'll call you and all that."

"You're not stopping?" Sloan asked as he took off the
headphones and moved toward the door.

"Nope," Nick said, glancing at Derek and nodding once
at him "He's got a kid to welcome."

"Good luck." Sloan said, getting out and closing the
doors.

Nick lifted back up and headed out.

"Hold on, boss.  We'll get there in time."
