Rio: *Rushing out of
Lucan's office. He feels my mates closeness through their bond. Pulling out his
phone he starts to punch in the numbers. Making a sudden stop a smile crosses
his face as he sees his mate standing in the foyer, handbag in hand ready to
leave. He takes her hand and kisses her * Dylan, lo siento. I
thought I'd stop by Lucan's office and see how the away team was doing, and
time slipped by.
Dylan: *Seeing his smile, she
smiles as he takes his her hand and they head for the car. She was
looking forward to the evening out with him. He had been busy with the others
gone and she was glad to see him relaxed.* I figured you might have, so I
decided I'd wait for you here. How are things going? Are they finding any
answers?
Rio: *Turning the the FJ they travel toward
DC* I'm not sure, Hell, I'm not sure Lucan even knows. Gideon is in the process
of send back some artifacts
and will be transmitting some intel. But until it gets here and we can looks at
it, it is nothing more than an unsolved puzzle. *Hearing his
mates stomach growl he know that she is hungry* Dylan,
what do you say we get you something to eat and then maybe go to the
Smithsonian?
Dylan: *Listening as he spoke she hadn't realized how
hungry she was. Grinning when her stomach reminded her she hadn't eaten for a
while.* I can't wait to see what they send back. Why don't we park and since
it's such a beautiful evening I can get a hot dog from one of the vendor carts
as we walk to the Smithsonian.
Rio: *Parallel parking. He
takes his 9mm out of the glove compartment. Placing his weapon in it holster he
quickly walks around and opens the door for his mate* Are you sure about the
hot dog? SMH, You don't know what comes to mind when you humans say you like to
eat a hot dog.
Dylan: *laughing, as they
start to walk* I have a feeling I might know, but why don't you tell me what
comes to your mind? Then I see if we are thinking of the same things. * They
pasted several couples that seemed to have the same ideas as they did. A nice
evening with the one they loved.*
Rio: *A picture quickly
flashed through his head. Reaching out he wiped the ketchup from the corner of
her mouth* I'd rather not say. I wouldn't want to spoil your meal.
Dylan: * As he took got the
ketchup, she thought he was too good to her and she loved how he was with her. How
he watched over her. A playful smile came to her lips* I'll get you to tell me
later when we get home. * She finished eating just as they got to the
Smithsonian and they entered. The
place wasn't overly crowded, but there was a nice crowd there.*
Rio: *Paying the admission
he opens up the pamphlet. * So my love
where do you suggest we start? I mean right now all we have to deal with in the
truth we now about the Breeds origins and the speculations of the Breedmates.
Dylan: *Looking at the
listings* Let's head to the past cultures exhibit area. Whatever we are looking
for is going to be ancient, so that I think would the logical area to begin. *
They started heading towards that area and when they got there, they saw many
displays holding pottery and other ancient artifacts.*
Rio: *Making note of each
piece in the exhibits he looks for clues. Many of the pieces were older than
the known history of the Breed on earth.* This is like looking for a fucking
needle in a hay stack. *Circling around a glass case a brightly colored glaze
jar catches his interest. It was imprinted with a huge sun and what appeared to
be a disk inside. As he walked around the the display there were more pictures of a
broken city in water and beings that looked much like the Ancients standing on
a hill top looking down*. Dylan,
come here, look at this.
Dylan: *Looking through
another case when she hers Rio's
voice. Going over she starts looking at the vase and snaps some pictures with
her phone* It looks like those are ancients in that one. * She read the tag and
the piece had been found in a region of Spain. It was rumored by Plato that
they conquered most of Europe at one time and the isle was somewhere of the
Spanish coast.* The region it was found from what I read is
correct.
Rio: *Shaking my head in
wonder.* This is amazing. I grew up hearing the legends. And would go to
Gibraltar and would gaze out onto the sea and wonder. But this... This is a
confirmation that the visions Jenna had and wrote
about in her journals are true. But this only leaves us with more
questions. What the hell was the Ancient trying to tell us. Come on lets go to
the planetarium. Perhaps they have something there. *Taking Dylan's
hand we wind our ways through the crowd*
Dylan: *Dylan as child had
heard the tales of Atlantis as a child, but it was always addressed as being a
myth. Following Rio as he weaved around the others
with a finesse she smiled. They got to displays and were about to split up to
look at the different cases there.* Any ideas of where to start? * The room was
huge with more displays than the one they were just in.*
Rio: *Shrugs* I don't think
it matters. Just look for something that might look like the ancients.
Dylan: *He took the left side
of the room and she took the right
side. Searching displays. In one case there was what looked like a tablet with
symbols similar to the jar Rio had found.* Rio, come look at
this.
Rio: *Brushing his dark locks from his eyes. He could
feel the eyes of humans and Breeds on him as he leaned down to get a better
look. It had been many years since the explosion that scared his face and the
stares no longer bothered him. Dylan squatted down beside him and kissed his
scar. Wrapping his arm around her he snapped a picture.* Come on babe I think
it is time to leave.
Dylan: Let's go. * His arm
still around her shoulders as they walked out. Once outside the night sky was
lit with stars and they walked back to the car. He
opened the door for her and he went to get in on the driver's
side. She leaned over and kissed him.* I love you, Rio. * he started the car and pulled away
from the curb*
Rio: *Escorting Dylan out
the building a tall well built male brushes past them. Catching a glimpse of a
golden cuff his eyes narrow at the tiny engraving. A tear drop in the bowl of a
crescent moon. Looking at the male their eyes lock briefly before Dylan's
voice draw him back. Holding her tightly to his side they continue to the FJ.
Opening the door he straps her in and kisses her gently* I love you too.
*Getting behind the steering wheel he pulls into traffic heading home to the
compound.*
