<Tasha_Forge> Oh geez…Mark..how does she feel about that?
<Mark_Sulfur> Let me put it to you this way – she was the one that told me how she felt about me first.
<Tasha_Forge> Then she doesn’t want it.  Hey..if she’s over here though how can she marry someone thats not here? ::smirks::
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, I know, but… ::isn’t denying that he likes her, too. But, he still feels uncomfortable about the whole thing::
* Felony is now known as Hans_Lynx
<Hans_Lynx> ::we’ll say Tasha made him go home a bit? LOL::
<Tasha_Forge> ::is up to you! was just gonna say he was at work right now really::
<Hans_Lynx> ::ah that works. ^_^::
<Hans_Lynx> ::finished his shift and all. showered ‘n briefly went home.  took cab out to Joe ‘n Trina’s to pick up Tasha’s car and that suitcase fulla the Red Army stuff and his uniforms.  gonna return those to his dad later.  took Tasha’s car back and drives back to hospital in his::
<Tasha_Forge> Well you do what you want Mark but let me tell you from someone who lost someone very close to her once. Sometimes you just gotta jump in feet first, because you don’t want to live the rest of your life with the what-ifs.
<Tasha_Forge> ::we’s at the house now, fel fel!  Said she got released to go home. Our bad. we shoulda told you!::
<Tasha_Forge> ::so said that Hans put her on the couch and told her not to move. lol!::
<Hans_Lynx> ::lol which house? XD Tasha ‘n Hans’ apartment? is on way there then XD::
<Tasha_Forge> ::yep! their place::
<Mark_Sulfur> It’s not just that…
<Tasha_Forge> Well?
<Mark_Sulfur> It’s…. ::murmurs softly but loud enough for Tasha to hear:: ….something Josie said. ::is sitting back in the chair now::
* Mark_Sulfur sets mode: +o Hans_Lynx
<Tasha_Forge> ::blinks:: something Lyons said? What did she say now…? ::Rolling eyes::
<Hans_Lynx> ::pulls up in Tasha’s car. gets out and takes up case.  issa happy as he found that ring in his MBI uniform pants. had it looked at too during the day while at work to make sure it was alright still::
<Mark_Sulfur> Tasha, I need you to be sincere with me, alright? ::okay, so he already got a thumbs up from Feral and City Hall, but needs to know from his agents:: .. Am I a good leader?
<Hans_Lynx> ((<Tasha> Yep! You let me lounge around the Bureau reading racing mags all day and PAY ME for it. <Mark> … ::marks a tally mark by “Not Good Leader” column::))
<Tasha_Forge> ::blinks:: Oooookay. If lyons told you no then she’s lying. Mark, you are the best leader I’ve served under.  You remind me of my father honestly. Willing to give kats a chance to prove themselves while still maintaining order. We know there are limits and don’t dare cross them, but we can have fun while doing our jobs. ITs what makes me want to come to work every day really.
<Tasha_Forge> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Mark_Sulfur> ((DEAD!!!!!))
<Mark_Sulfur> ::small smile::
<Tasha_Forge> You’re doing great, Mark.  Trust me. Besides..who you going to believe? The tons of agents you had scrambling to find you when you went missing? Or the she-kat that broke your heart as well as had the dislike and distrust of every agent on the force?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::starts to say something, then pauses:: Wait… how did you know it was her?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::about the “broke your heart” part::
<Hans_Lynx> ::heads on inside building. unlocks door and enters, not realizing Mark is there:: I hope you are still on that sofa, Tasha. ::sets case down and goes into living room. stops a moment seeing Mark there.:: Sir… ::half smile, a bit nervous though. still feels guilty and dealing with it all. and whuh oh in hot water now XD::
<Mark_Sulfur> Hey, Hans. ::eyeing Tasha in that “please answer me” way. XD::
<Tasha_Forge> ::smirks:: Word travels…
<Mark_Sulfur> ::rolls his eyes, sinks his head into the seat back::
<Tasha_Forge> Hey Hon.  I’m still on the sofa. :;laughs::
<Hans_Lynx> ::removes his coat then glances at the two:: Everything okay? ::hangs it on back of chair and goes in the room completely.::
<Mark_Sulfur> Peachy, tho’ my love life is apparently in the lime light.
<Hans_Lynx> Oh…? ::feigning innocence XD goes over and kisses Tasha onna cheek::
<Hans_Lynx> ::sits down on arm of sofa there::
<Tasha_Forge> ::purrs slightly. will move feet so Hans can sit down properly if he wants::  Hey I don’t think the WHOLE bureau knows. Just a few of us.
<Mark_Sulfur> That IS the whole Bureau.
<Hans_Lynx> ::sits there:: Yes well… what’s the big deal about it?  Everyone knows about our lovelife so…
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: I don’t think Stormcrow knows…or McGrath…or the pixies, Protocol, Ryder…they don’t know.
<Tasha_Forge> Look at it this way, Mark. We like to keep up with whats going on in your life because you aren’t just our director, you’re our friend.
<Hans_Lynx> ::snorks:: I don’t think McGrath cares about anything that isn’t a mission.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles:: True.
<Hans_Lynx> And yeah… honestly sir, you should’ve told us what was going on with you.  We could’ve helped.
<Mark_Sulfur> The city’s safety comes first, guys. Not me.
<Tasha_Forge> yeah well there comes a time you gotta take some time for yourself too
<Hans_Lynx> If you’re not happy, it can affect your work, sir.
<Hans_Lynx> Which in turn affects the city.
<Mark_Sulfur> I’ll keep that in mind.
<Tasha_Forge> He’s right.  Besides, you’re more fun when you’re happy. ::grins::
<Mark_Sulfur> Oh, so I’m boring when I”m cranky?
<Hans_Lynx> No, just… not you. ::shrugs, smirks::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles:: Fine. I’ll start smiling more.
<Hans_Lynx> So… you two discussing Darling? ::pulls Tasha’s feet on his lap to rub them some lol issa your slaaaaave for life now lol::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::palmface, blushes again::
<Tasha_Forge> Yep..he didn’t know anyone knew. ::oooo footrub! yesh! my manslave! mun diiies!::
<Hans_Lynx> Are you two official then now?
<Mark_Sulfur> Not until she talks to her parents.
<Hans_Lynx> ::raises brow:: Her parents?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::tells him what he told Tasha about Robi’s arranged marriage::
<Hans_Lynx> Whoah… didn’t know kats still did that anymore.
<Mark_Sulfur> They do, apparently.
<Tasha_Forge> ::shakes head;: I couldn’t do it. I’d run away like she has. ::laughs::
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah, well, I really can’t do anything until she gets that resolved. If it’s not meant to be, I’ll back off.
<Hans_Lynx> ::chuckles:: Why?  He’s never even met her, he’s on the other side of the big pond… what he going to come get you?  Should be her choice, not this guy’s or her parents.
<Tasha_Forge> Thats what I think too
<Mark_Sulfur> Yeah, but she comes from a different culture. We can’t interfere with that, either.
<Hans_Lynx> Psh, she’s from England right?  C’mooon.  Not much different than here in Amerikat or even Germany.
<Tasha_Forge> ::snorks:: tell that to some of my past family.
<Mark_Sulfur> She’s from England; her parents are from India.
<Hans_Lynx> India eh?  Hmm… ::thinks a moment:: You like her?
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, since I can’t keep it a secret, yeah.
<Hans_Lynx> She like you and not that guy?
<Mark_Sulfur> She told me her feelings first.
<Hans_Lynx> Then I say go for it no matter what her parents say.  ::stops with Tasha’s feet:: You all want something to drink? ::lol like this matter is so simple::
<Mark_Sulfur> Thank you, Dr. Love. :smirk:
<Tasha_Forge> I’m fine. Mark took care of my drink. ::Then to Mark:: he’s right. Its her choice. She is in Amerikat now. She’s free to make her own choices.
<Hans_Lynx> You’re quite welcome. ::chuckles. gets up and goes to the kitchen to get himself a drink::
<Hans_Lynx> ::gets a can o’ milk and returns to sofa.  laying off the lagers for awhile. sits back down and takes a drink::
<Tasha_Forge> ::props feet up in his lap again. lol!:
<Mark_Sulfur> :chuckles:: Fine.
<Hans_Lynx> ::XD lets her:: I’ve got one question for you, sir.
<Mark_Sulfur> Yes?
<Hans_Lynx> Why did you try to hide all of this from us?  Lyons and Darling both?  Did you think we’d be harsh on you or critical or something?
<Hans_Lynx> ::okay that was 3 questions but uh parts to one!::
<Mark_Sulfur> Here’s my answer to all three – as your leader, it wasn’t appropriate nor professional. Not from my standpoint.
<Tasha_Forge> well from the rest of our standpoints its just fine. So no more hiding! ::grins:;
<Hans_Lynx> Then why do it if you feel that way?
<Mark_Sulfur> Because it was gonna be kept out of office.
<Hans_Lynx> ::smirks:: Those things rarely stay out of office forever.  Though I guess with Lyons she made you fill out a dozen forms making it so.  What about Darling?  She seems more free spirited.  You going to keep it out of office too even though we’re all for the most part aware?
<Mark_Sulfur> ::shrugs:: At this point, it’s up to her. However, on missions, I’m not treating her any differently than I’m treating you guys.
<Hans_Lynx> I wouldn’t expect you to.  Just as I don’t treat Tasha any different, or Joe Trina. ::smiles at Tasha::
<Tasha_Forge> ::nods:: mark, if you need any example at all look at my brother and Trina.  They work well together, and for the most part their relationship is kept out of the office. He still will give orders to her if needed, and treats her not any different than the rest of us.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::nods:: True.
<Hans_Lynx> ::nods to what Tasha says, takes a drink of milk::
<Mark_Sulfur> Alright, you nut jobs. You’ve convinced me.
<Tasha_Forge> ::grins:: Good!  You need her, Mark.  You’re so much happier nowdays since she’s arrived.
<Mark_Sulfur> So I was a real pain in the tail before she did? ::grinning::
<Hans_Lynx> No… though I question your sanity with Lyons. ::snickers::
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: You’re just more…cheerful now.
<Hans_Lynx> <phone>::ring-a-lings! issa next to Tasha::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::chuckles::
<Tasha_Forge> ::blinks and leans over to grab it:: Hello?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol>::on other line:: Forge.  Is the director still there?
<Tasha_Forge> Er…yeah he is…why?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> Move the phone away from your face please.
<Tasha_Forge> Er…okay. ::holds the phone away::
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol>::zaps out of it and into the living room. lol goes solid now:: <Hans> ::blinks, sits up a bit at that::
<Tasha_Forge> ::jumps!:: Oh geez! i’ll never get used to that! :;hangs up the phone lol!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks at Protocol::
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> Sorry. ::looks to Mark:: I’m afraid I must resign for an indefinate amount of time, director.  <Hans> … <She came here to tell him that?> ::puts a hand on Tasha’s leg to comfort her lol::
<Tasha_Forge> ::Frowns at that. wonders why she’s resigning…and wonders why she had to nearly give her a heart attack after being almost shot through the heart! lol!::
<Mark_Sulfur> ::blinks:: May… I ask why?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> Personal reasons.  I’m also here to warn you that another kat will be applying soon at the MBI.  Do not hire her so quickly.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::frowns:: Who?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> I’m not sure of her alias.  ::looks at Tasha:: Do you have contact information for Tessie?
<Tasha_Forge> Um..not with me. Its all at my desk at work.  I’m not real familiar with Tessie anyway.
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> I’ll have to look that up myself then.  :;goes acoherent::  I’m sorry, director, but I can no longer give you information concerning Dark Kat and his whereabouts.
<Mark_Sulfur> Oooookay. And, the reaon for not hiring her so quickly?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> She’s one of Dark Kat’s cyberdemons.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::staring at Prot, wondering what’s going on::
<Hans_Lynx> ::just quiet lol::
<Tasha_Forge> ::Frowns at Protocol::  You turning your back on us?  Or you going back to work for him?
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol>::scowls at her:: Neither.  I’m protecting my own is all.  I’m no longer working for him, or the MBI.
<Tasha_Forge> Hey..sorry. Just making sure. ::holding up hands defensively::
<Mark_Sulfur> Well… alright. I’ll let the others know.
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol> Thank you.  If the time comes again where I can serve in the MBI… ::small smile:: I hope I’m welcome even without my information on Dark Kat.
<Mark_Sulfur> You will be. I promise.
<Hans_Lynx> <Protocol>::nods then zaps out through a nearby empty electric plug socket::
<Mark_Sulfur> Well, that was odd.
<Hans_Lynx> No kidding… ::rubs Tasha’s lower leg a few times:: You okay?
<Tasha_Forge> Yeah I’m fine. Just shocked me is all when she zapped in like that. I hope she’s okay.
<Mark_Sulfur> ::nods:: Well, guys, I better let you be. ::as he stands::
<Hans_Lynx> ::smiles at him:: I hope it’s because you have a date tonight. ::chuckles::
<Mark_Sulfur> Maybe. ::smirking::
<Tasha_Forge> ::laughs:: Thanks for coming by, Mark. ANd thanks for the fruit basket. We’ll certainly polish that off real quick.
<Hans_Lynx> Oh he brought food?
<Tasha_Forge> Yep.  To feed you with since I can’t cook. ::grins::
<Mark_Sulfur> You better eat it. ::grinning:: And, I’ll see you when I see you. ::waves, heads out… as well as the mun::
<Hans_Lynx> ::laughs and nods:: Alright.
