It was early one morning when Lee showed up to the mechanics tent, when he walked into his office, he found Alli asleep in his cot. He gently picked her up and carried her to his truck. She could report later, but or now she was to be his. Lee was content that she was there with him when he laid her down on the bed. She opened her eyes for a brief moment till he wrapped his arms around her. Softly he heard her say his name and go back to sleep. He had missed her, and hadn't expected her to be gone for so long. Lee waited for her to wake meanwhile he would hold her.
When Lee felt her awake he watched her look up at him, she looked half deadheaded and he loved the smile that spread of her lips once she saw him looking down at her. He felt her slide her self up his body. After kissing him with no reservations. She then tried to get up and go on with the day. Lee wasn't having it, it had been too long since he had got to love her and, there was no way he was going to let his love go report yet. He kissed her and shortly after running his hands down her body she was ready to f**k him and even begged for him to take her. Laughing and thrilled Lee slipped deeply with in her and heard her moans of pleasure. Twice she came before he allowed himself to c*m. After they showered he took her to an old hike they once did years back. Lee marveled at her stamina in keeping up with him. Once he would have had to slow down for her, now she was a beast. Once they reached the top of the mountain they went to a new hiker hotel and they ate before heading back down. Alli played with him a few times by hiding behind a boulder, and once in a tree. Lee loved this playful side, and knew when his truck was back in view that all this would be done for a long while.

Alli loved the little excursion with Lee, on their way down off the mountain they stopped in a few little towns. She was surprised that she would find people from all over in her missions were in these towns. Alli was able to hide most of what she felt, though she knew Lee had been right about her not needing to report immediately. In the last town he made mention that maybe one day they could be retired in a place like this. Her heart wanted it but she was terrified. She was more worried she wouldn't live to retire. The job of spy and retriever was hard on ones body and mind. She had prayed whatever was making her want to run would be over soon. She had this impending doom in her mind and had no idea why she felt this way.
Back at the base Alli and Mack discussed all that had happened. He was surprised that Demi was corrupted but then again this kind of thing happened more than either were willing to admit at the time. Mack had told her the General was in Vegas and had posted that she was to be returned to him. Feeling she needed to end this Alli got up and left the room.
Lee found her packing a bug out bag. He too had talked to Mack, and knew she felt it was her duty to got back to finish this with the General. What he knew was she also had a warrant for her arrest and the army wanted her executed. She was stubborn and he was angry that she would just go towards the danger like this.
"What are you planning to do now?"
"Go on my next mission."
"Don't, this is not what you think it is. Its only going to get you hurt..."
"Exactly I need to finish this I've let what his brother did hurt to long."
" But why must you go to extremes, you can not go, i mean baby you have no idea what your getting into."
"It doesn't matter, I'll do what I have to. Why does this matter to you, you have never stopped me from doing what I need to!"
"You don't understand dear, you could be killed by hanging if you walk into Vegas right now."
Exasperated that he would say such a thing Alli stormed out of the tent.
Within an hour Alli found her self locked in a cage out in the desert. She was pissed that she was put there all because of Lee and his suspicions. Alli was fed once a day for the next three days, She had two others that were imprisoned in cages as well. Each had different stories, the other two were going to give entire towns over to the army for their own protection. Alli stayed quiet, she was still pissed off when Lee showed up and opened her cage. He apologized and told her that the army had moved on and redacted the warrant. Alli hopped out of the cage and socked him in his mouth. Lee laughed as he pulled her to him, she struggled for a while then gave up. She glared at him with anger, with confusion on why he had done her that way. She knew he had done it for her, but it didn't matter while she was still pissed.
An hour later she was sitting by a creek in the desert, Lee bought her dinner, and brought her here to kick back and unwind. She still hadn't forgiven him, but she was not trying to hit him anymore. She did hit him a few more times while they were driving. As she stares at the stream Alli's thoughts reflected everything that was happening. Suddenly she felt Lee pull her into his lap, looking up she saw the concern on his face. She hadn't realized she was crying. She was still mad at him but at the same time everything seemed to be on the surface. He leaned down and had kissed her forehead. Alli knew he did love her, hell he always had she reminded her self. It nearly killed her inside when he had to leave her after her first mission. He had carried on and grown, she had felt so overwhelmed. She wasn't sure if they could ever go back to the way things were between them. She laid her head against his shoulder, this was a beautiful spot to be Alli thought. Slowly she took deep breaths in and then exhaled, listening to the sounds around her Alli allowed herself to become centered again.

Lee had decided the best way to get back into to Alli's good graces, would be to show her his little hideaway. It was a small stream that ran through sand stone and made some interesting erosion. He had found a spot in the wall that had an over hanging rock ledge that made a nice shady spot on a hot day. Once Alli had planted herself by the water she did not move. Lee gave her time to calm down, for the first time in her life she had hit him over and over, he was still coming to terms on how much he had hurt her. He was surprised but it didn't matter, he knew he would do it all over again because he loved her. She was alive and for the most part well. Lee looked over to see she was crying, and he resigned himself to the fact it was due to his actions. He went to her, gently he picked her up and placed her in his lap, He was surprised she simply looked up at him then settled herself against his body. He was aware of every mood change through out the hours, though she stayed silent. As they set there Lee wished Alli would go back to telling him everything, even the things he didn't want to know verse staying in her own head. He hated he had to pry things out of her, sighing he told her it was time to go after some locals showed up to picnic. She followed along behind him still silent.

She heard the soft "lets go" so Alli followed Lee to the truck. She was ready to go back and face whatever she needed to, when a man's voice caught her attention. Fear flooded through her body as Alli turned to see if it were true. She scanned the small crowd of people to see the General's brother was among them. He was talking to another man, and Alli realized he hadn't spotted her, the thought to flee jumped her into gear, and before she knew what she was doing she instinctively got into the truck, and immediately laid down in the seat. Softly she told" Lee lets go" as she looked up at him fear still radiating in her eyes.
It was a short time later when Alli finally felt safe enough to sit up and explain what was making her so scared. She seen a range of emotions from anger to concern and all in between as she explained. Lee then took her hand and kissed the back of it, to let her know she was safe with him. Though deep down inside she didn't feel that way at all....
