"Will ya look at that!" Adriana exclaimed, directing
the attention of her husband to the couple dancing in the center of the room.
"You did it honey. This is the first step." Hank smiled.
"We did it. They’ll be in each other’s arms all night."
"Let’s hope so, ‘cause I expect you to be in mine later tonight."
"Alright Agent Bennett." Adriana smiled wickedly. "Do you think tonight we should drop the bomb
on them and reveal everything?"
"Why not, the case is over. I’m no longer undercover."
"I’m so happy too. I was snooping around in D.C., and saw something of a promotion for Hank Bennett. I didn’t
want to tell you ‘til later, but-" She leaned in close, "I’m in the arms on the new director of the New
England Branch of the FBI."
"REALLY?" Hank yelled. The people dancing near him gave him annoyed glances, but he didn’t care. He
swept Adriana up in his arms. "I can’t believe it. I love you so much, you and your nosy ways."
"I know you do. I can’t wait to see their faces when we-" Adriana giggled.
"It’ll be priceless. C’mon, let’s finish our dance. I want to hold the one I love." Hank whispered,
quickly catching Adriana’s mouth in a slow long kiss, that didn’t go unnoticed by Luis or Sheridan.
"YOUR WHAT?!" Luis and Sheridan yelled simultaneously. They were walking along the beach, each couple
hand in hand.
"I’m in the FBI, and we’re married." Hank said, spacing each word out as if he was talking to a first
grader.
"Adriana! Why didn’t you tell me?" Sheridan questioned, surprise written all over her face.
"I wanted it to be a surprise. Nah, actually, I wasn’t at liberty to discuss it, as it might have created
problems for Hank, when he was working undercover. But now that’s over. He won’t ever have to work undercover again.
Ain’t that right honey?" Adriana said, putting her arms around Hank’s waist.
"Yup. You’re looking at the new Director of Operations for the New England region. I guess that means something."
Hank shrugged, and watched Luis’s face drop.
"Hank! That’s wonderful!" Sheridan exclaimed.
"That means you’re my superior! But you never were good in school or nothing." A shocked Luis proclaimed.
"So." Hank said, discuss dripping in his voice. "I’ve changed a lot since high school. And I pulled
some strings with my dad to get me into training. I handled the rest from there."
"Oh, well congratulations. I’m glad you’re doing something." Luis said, not meaning it to come out the
way it did.
"I’ve always done things! Just not for a long time! You’re comparing old me to new me!" Hank yelled.
"He’s right Sweetie. Just let him be. Be happy for him." Sheridan remarked. Adriana gave Luis a nasty
look for his behavior.
"I didn’t mean it the way it sounded. I meant I’m glad your doing something long term." Luis replied.
"Hey, no hard feelings, I was just jerkin’ your chain." Hank smiled. "So, is it official? Are you
two a couple or what?" Adriana impatiently asked. Luis and Sheridan nervously eyed each other.
"Um, I really-"
"Yeah we just-"
"Sure." Luis finally said, letting out a sigh and waiting for Sheridan to blow up at his assumption.
"God it’s about time." Adriana announced.
"Yeah." Sheridan admitted, smiling. A wave of relief washed over Luis, and he gripped her hand tighter.
"Looks like a new beginning for all of us." Hank smiled.
"I couldn’t have said it better myself." Adriana commented, pulling Hank in for a kiss. |
