She hadn't meant to blurt it out in quite that bald a fashion. She should have prettied it up or at least been less...herself. However, she knew that she wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise. He..shit. Somehow, the police didn't IMMEDIATELY assume she was the cause of whatever had brought them to the warehouse which was, you know, a damned good thing as guns were drawn as soon as she slipped past the busted door. Her hands went up but she said not a word, the various hard eyes causing her heart to leap into her throat and stay there. Thankfully, he didn't have the same problem.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Officers, thank you for the rapid response. I'm Static, this is Lightning. And we took down all these guys. This is everyone that was present. All the weapons are back in the warehouse, and all their files are on a computer I left unlocked for you guys to go through. All they need now is a pretty bow and we can call this a good Christmas gift, huh? Promotions all around, maybe?</span><br/><br/>A palpable sense of relief emanated from the gathering of boys (and girls) in blue and Jen was thankful, for once, that Virgil's natural charm worked so well on others. Hell, for all she knew it would have worked on her too, had she ever given him time to use it. That was one of the problems between them, at least in her case.  Someone who was so...She shook her head slightly, cutting off that thought completely. It wasn't like he would accept, anyway!<br/><br/>A female officer approached the young woman, a pen and pad held at the ready.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Ma'am, do you have anything to add to your compatriot's tale?"</span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Not particularly, officer. He gave you the gist well enough. We came, we saw, we spanked them for being bad and then we waited for you to arrive. If he says the computer is open for your perusal? Then it is."</span>He words were softly spoken, not hesitant, only quietly stated.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"You won't have a lot of paperwork to do, will you?"</span><br/><br/>A grin greeted that query even as the woman shook her head.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Nope. We were after this little group for a few weeks. Could never catch them as they moved fast. A lot of the work has been just waiting for names and such."</span>She nodded and turned away slightly.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Thanks for the help."</span><br/><br/>Jen shifted her attention slightly, debated fading into the darkness and running away like a scared puppy but then he walked up to her and answered.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;"> "I'd love to. Go out. To eat with you. I'd love to. It's about time we actually got to really know each other."</span><br/><br/>She felt the heat in her cheeks and knew that the blush was beyond evident. She hadn't expected him to agree! With a soft sigh, she crossed her arms and gave him a sort of side-eyed glance.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"Good. I mean, thank you. Um, there's a little diner located on the main drag called Mike's. It's clean and the food looks good. Meet me there?"</span>She paused and gave him a brief frown.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">"I asked you for this little tete-a-tete so that means I pay."</span>With that, Jen slipped away, retreating quickly so that she could get back to her car.<br/><br/>She'd drive there and wait.
