A/n thanks to everyone who reviewed my other stories. I know this chapter
is short. I just had to get Conner into Sanctuary. I promise the next
chapter will be up soon, and will be longer and better. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1
"Brennan!" Jesse called out to get his friends attention.
"What?"
"Call coming in for you."
"Thanks," Brennan said as he sat in front of the screen and took the call.
Becky's face appeared. "Hi!"
"Hi, yourself. What's going on? Are you guys OK?"
"We're doing really well actually. That's sort of why I called. I'm working
for an Insurance Company now. Investigating fraud. Who better to recognize
a con than a con?"
"I guess so," agreed Brennan with a chuckle. "That's good news. How's
Connor?"
"He's good. He misses you."
"Well, I miss him too." Brennan saw the relief in Becky's eye's as he said
this.
"Then you may like the reason I called. I need to go away on a week or two
as part of an investigation I'm doing. When I told Connor, he asked if he
could stay with you while I'm gone. What do you think? Would that be OK?"
Brennan's face lit up. "OK?! That would be great. Give us a chance to spend
some real time together, without having to worry about being chased. You
don't mind?"
"No. I'd rather he stay with you than anyone else. And he needs a man in
his life. Some time with you would be good for him I think. You're sure it
won't be a problem?"
Seeing Adam walk in Brennan asked him, "It's OK if Connor comes to stay for
a week or two? Right?"
Adam smiled at the excitement he heard in the younger mans voice and the
happiness in his expression. "I don't see why not. Things are fairly
quiet."
"Thanks Adam!" Brennan said before looking back to Becky. "So where exactly
are you going? And when are you leaving?"
"I'll be in New York. I'm supposed to leave on the red eye flight tonight.
I know it's short notice, but. . . "
"That's fine."
"Why don't you meet us for dinner?"
"Sounds like a plan."
They worked out the details of dinner and ended the call.
