Brothers in Arms

Jane smacked him lightly on the arm.

"I didn't mean literally. I meant warmth, comfort, good sleep and nutrition. I know how to take care of people.... well, most people."
 
"I never did formally thank you for taking care of my parents after the incident....they....and I......were incredibly appreciative" he said reflecting for a moment before snapping back to the fun loving Chase "but that sounds good, I'm scared of needles anyway!" He said loading up the truck with groceries
 
"It was my pleasure to help." She said softly. "and I used to hate needles. Now, they are just one of the tools I use to take care of my patients."
 
"Like me with guns, just a tool of the trade!" Chase said smiling as the radio played along as the headed towards the mountains
 
Janie closed her eyes and tucked her feet underneath her. She wadded her sweater up and put it under her head against the window.
 
He looked over her and smiled at her comfort and ease. She was at peace and damn if she wasn't the prettiest girl in the world as she slept. A couple hours later Chase turned off the main road onto the gravel driveway as the sun was setting
 
As he pulled onto the gravel, she started to awaken. "Are we almost there?" She asked softly. She stretched out, trying to wake up.
 
"Oh no" he said teasing "I decided we should just say screw it and make a run for it. We should be in Mexico by sunrise" he said keeping a straight face "I'm assuming that's ok?"
 
"Margaritas on the beach? I am in." She said with a grin. She ran her fingers through her hair.
 
Chase laughed "well pretend the dirt is sand and it might seem similar!" He said smiling as he pulled the truck up in front of the wood cabin
 
She laughed sweetly. "I don't need a beach. I was just playing a long." She hopped out of the truck and grabbed one of the grocery sacks.

"I am going to check out the kitchen situation." She said over her shoulder.
