Sampson had to bite his tongue to keep from pointing out that Ryan would have wanted closure of some sort if the bastard hadn't died. He didn't want to start a fight and let the subject drop. "Fair enough. I'll at least try to text you if I'm not going to make it." He took the dishes to the sink and started the dishwasher, then went to put the batteries back into the smoke detector and closed everything back up before it got too horrendously cold. "Again, same could be said of me, though I do have a badge and credentials and you just claim to be a nurse." He winked at him. "Neither have I, not really. I've never had time." He sighed. "At least that's what I keep telling myself. The truth is I don't want to have a relationship in which the man I love comes home to find out I've died on duty. I've already had to quit smoking."<br/><br/>~~~~~<br/><br/>Rai laughed at the compliment, but it was warm, not mocking. Despite Kane being so uptight he'd helped Rai and that wasn't something he'd forget. When they got to the room, it was just a portal to the upper world. Rai hesitated to look at him. A thousand emotions crossed his face, but he said nothing before he was gone.<br/><br/>Eden was waiting for Rai. He grabbed him by the throat and rather nonchalantly stabbed a needle into his thigh. "You aren't getting him earlier pretty little demon," he murmured. Rai clawed at Eden's hands, drawing blood. Eden just licked the side of his face before Rai lost consciousness. He tossed him to the floor. "Put him somewhere Kane won't easily find him." Two demons came and hauled him off.<br/><br/>Eden teleported to Kane, pouting. "You let him go?" He huffed and wrapped a hand around Kane's neck. "Would you be a dear for me and run a tinsy little errand for me? So I don't think you just want to fuck me?" He grinned and pulled him down to kiss him. "Not that I mind."
