Logan dug his gun out of the closet and loaded it as he waited for Bel to arrive.

At 6:00, Bel arrived at the door and glanced up and down the hall to see if anyone was about. He knocked.

[fh_jackass]

"Who is it?"

[demonbelthazor]

"It's Bel," he said.

[fh_jackass]

Logan opened the door partway to let Bel in. He still held the gun in one hand.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel stepped warily into the room. "You can put that away," he said. "Unless you're planning on using it?"

[fh_jackass]

"I am," Logan said. "But not on you." He clicked the safety on and slipped the gun into his waistband. "Remember our field trip last October?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah," Bel said, nodding. He leaned back against the door. "Got something like that in mind again or something?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan nodded, keeping his eyes on Bel. "You up for it?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I take it you just want a ride and you'll do it yourself," Bel said, looking meaningfully at the gun in Logan's pants.

[fh_jackass]

"Yeah," Logan said. "No dramatics this time, either. We go in, I take care of it, we leave."

[demonbelthazor]

"Can I ask what brought this on?" Bel said, suspecting he knew the answer, but wanting confirmation anyway.

[fh_jackass]

"I know Veronica talked to you," Logan said. "I think you're capable of connecting the dots here."

[demonbelthazor]

"Got it," Bel said. "And if I do this for you...we're good? Not expecting best friends or anything like that, but no more of the he's evil, don't trust him crap?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan considered this. "How about I just pay you in cash? What's the fare for a cross-country teleport these days?"

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm not a taxi," Bel snapped. "If I do this for you, unless you want me telling everybody about it, you back off me, got it?"

[fh_jackass]

"Fine," Logan said, lifting his hands in defeat. "You keep your mouth shut and I'll do the same. Now let's get this done." He checked for the gun in his waistband.

[demonbelthazor]

"It's too early," Bel pointed out. "It's broad daylight in California and everyone's going to be up. We gotta wait until they've tucked everyone back in their cells for the night."

[fh_jackass]

Logan ran a hand through his hair and nodded. "Okay. Come back at midnight, then?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel nodded. "That works. You want me to come here or meet somewhere else?"

[fh_jackass]

"Here is fine," Logan replied.

[demonbelthazor]

"All right," Bel said. "I'll be back here at midnight. We'll do it fast. In and out and we're done."

[fh_jackass]

"Sounds like a plan," Logan said, opening the door for Bel.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel quickly checked the hall to make sure no one would see him leaving Logan's room, then stepped through the doorway and walked casually down the hall like he was just passing by.
