Malcolm MacBain August 21, 2013 *Walking down to the
lower level of the compound he finds Gideon
Breed sitting at antique teak wood desk behind a computer.* He
Gid, I have a favor to ask.
Gideon Breed *Looking up from my
screen, I pause the image of the HD photos of the pottery pieces* Sure Mal,
what can I do for you?
Malcolm MacBain *Taking a seat on the
opposite side of the desk he fiddles with the fringe of his plaid. The
loneliness obvious in his voice* I was wondering if there was a way I could
talk to Danika. I know she is fine but I need to hear for myself that she is ok.
Gideon Breed *Peering up at Malcolm, I see the strain of being away from
his mate. I know I hate having any kind of distance from mine* Sure man, Let me
get you hooked up here on a secure line. *Letting my hands find their way over
the keyboard, I pull up our secure video conferencing system and patch him
through to Danika's phone. Getting
out of my chair, I offer it to Mal, and leave the room to offer them some
privacy*
Malcolm MacBain *Sitting down in
Gid's vacated seat he thanks him and quickly turn back to the screen as Danika's image and voice dispatches through*
Dani?
Danika MacBain *Sitting back in my
seat after getting an ETA from the pilots I see Malcolm's face appear on a screen, feeling the
excitement rush through me i smile.* Mal! hey baby *Kissing the screen* I miss
you so much!
Malcolm MacBain *Gently tracing his
mates face he felt an ache in his chest* I missed you too love. How's the
flight?
Danika MacBain Just checked with the
pilot we should be landing in a few hours, It's been such a long flight, how's
Prague? Is everyone ok? *Feeling a light ache in my chest I look to the screen
at my mate, smiling* How long before you and everyone else return home?
Malcolm MacBain *Smiling* Everyone is fine. I think we have a few more days here and then we will be returning to Washington. I miss you.
Danika MacBain Good I've been worried
*smiling* mainly about you my love. *Sighing* I miss you too! It feels like
I've been apart from you longer than it has been.
Malcolm MacBain I'm fine, love. The
locals here don't seem to have the fear of us like other parts of the world.
Perhaps it is their legends. *Pausing briefly he drags his hand over his face.*
Listen Dani. I can't keep this line open long. But I need to tell you something.
* He sees the worry cross her face and quickly puts her at ease* There is
nothing wrong with me but I need to tell you that I have to feed before we
leave. The last thing Tegan needs on the flight is a starving Breed. But I
wanted to tell you before I went out with Micah tonight.
Danika MacBain *Worry crossing my face I'm not to thrilled at the idea or the thought but know he's right, taking a deep breath I manage a smile* I'm not thrilled at the idea Malcolm but if you have to I understand, and I'm glad you told me first.
Malcolm MacBain *Guilt washed over
him as he looked into her eyes* Damn I hate this. Perhaps I could be
tranquilized.
Danika MacBain *Laughing at the idea*
Just do what you got to and hurry back to me safe!
Malcolm MacBain *Relief floods over
him at her words. Kissing him finger he placed them on the screen on her lips*
I'll feed from a male only what I need. I love you Dani and hopefully be with
you soon. *Seeing Connor peak over
his mother's shoulders , the son of his heart waves<Hi Da, don't worry about
mum, I'll take care of her and see her safely to DC> * I know you will son.
*Sighing* Love I have to go. Have a safe flight. Oh by the way look in your carry
on there is a small token of my love for you wrapped in my tartan. *Suddenly
the connection broke before he could say again he loved and missed her. Getting
up from the desk he returns to his room waiting for Micah's call*
Danika MacBain *Placing my fingers on
the screen.* I love you to Mal *Sighing as the screen goes blank I feel Connors hand on my shoulder I smile.*
<Don't worry mum, Da will be ok he'll be back before you know it.>
*Seeing my sons grin I hug him, taking Mal's tartan out of my bag the scent of
my mate fills me breathing in deeply I find a small box and open it. A tear
streaming down my cheek I place the ring on my finger holding it close to my
heart I say a small prayer for the safe return.* I Love you Malcolm MacBain..*Pulling out my phone I text Lucan informing him on our ETA.*
