Triple Crossed Page #2

I have to force myself to this

Did your partner not like the outdoors?

He did.

He actually liked it a lot

But he died about two years ago in afghanistan.

I'm sorry.

Thanks

No, but it's my new

reality. Among other things.

How about you.Where is your station?

I just got back from Afghanistan.

I'm glad you made it back.

Thanks.

So was he career military or

Tyler. Yeah, he was in the reserv

So he was called out.

Wasn't really his thing.

his father insisted he enlists.

To stay out of trouble yep

So I see you tomorrow.

I'll be here.

Cool.

Later. Bye

Hey

Everything okay?

Actually no. It's not starting it's

like it's dead

it's the weirdest thing.

Anything I can do to help?

You know I have a Triple A but I'm just not

seeing my card in here

Want me to give you a ride?

You'd do that for me?

Okay. Thank you.

Let's go

I really appreciate this.

No problem

have you ever been to Topanga Canyon?

No. It's where you're going?

No.Topanga Canyon is beautiful.

It's by the PCH

we should go sometime

How about tomorrow?

That would be great

Let's go

I'll pick you up?

sure

the right is coming up here

Do you want me to wait for you?

No it's a walk back, it's not that far.

You sure?

So what time tomorrow?

About nine?

Nine it is.

Here. Just in case you you need a ride or anything.

Thank you.

And this is my number

in case you need anything at all.

Thanks for the ride.

No problem

Stay out of trouble.

I see you tomorrow.

Hey Andrew. I was just thinking about you

well that's good to hear.

You driving?

No I'm just about to leave the mechanic now.

the battery?

Nope. Cut cables.

Really?

So when the Triple A came out to give me

a jump sparkles flew everywhere.

That's crazy.

Anyway

The reason why I was calling is to see

if you want to have lunch tomorrow

lunch?

Yeah I figured if I

you'd carry it uphill you know since

you're trained for that.

I was not trained to carry sandwiches up the hill.

Are you kidding? I'm a better cook than that.

That's good to know.

Anyway, I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning

Goodnight

The shore is beautiful

You never been up here before?

No. I just got into town, remember?

Yeah, that's right

Home is where again?

Wisconsin

Ah cheese and cold winters

I don't really miss the winters the cheese was

good though

It doesn't get very cold in atlanta

Is there where you're from?

yeah can't you tell by the accent? No

I don't have an accent. Dropped

it when I moved to Los Angeles.

How much further?

Not far

Where are you taking me?

This is a surprise, obviously.

You should wear hiking boots.

I'm not as hardcore as you mister G.I. Joe.

Don't say I didn't warn you

You're alright? Yeah, nice grip

Told you should wear hiking in boots

Wow

Pretty much sums it all up, right?

On a clear day you can see all the way out

to the ocean from here

Still nice though. It's peaceful.

I love it up here.

I feel really closer to Tyler when I'm here.

So you hungry?

I could eat.

See hiking makes you hungrier

Yeah I guess it does.

But I need to find the latrine first.

So I'll be back.

I'll set up.

Grab a seat

Get the lunch

What's up with that?

Sorry. It's bad habit to break

Always at work

Guess you were in the military for a while

Yeah asserting that can stand in the record

So how was your job?

In the military?

Yeah in the military.

Most of what I did is still listed as classified

So you can't tell me

Cause if I tell you

you would have to kill me

Yeah I'm sure I heard that before

Do you need to get that?

No

So I hope you don't mind me talking about Tyler

You're the first military person I've

met then. You know

Kind awkward a bit.

It's fine

You know when he first deployed

I got the worst feeling

He told me not to worry and we

know how that worked out, right?

Sounds like someone really gets a hold on you.

You sure you're not married or something?

No. Not me. I told you it's not important

How do you know?

Because you're here.

Good answer

See anything?

yeah I see a sunbird

where?

No.. it's just a golden retriever

Ow, f***.

You okay? you're alright?

Maybe

hurt your ankle?

does it hurt?

You sure wish you were with that hiking boots,uh?

Knew you would say that

Don't worry I'm not that heavy.

Put that.

So for keep jumping off rocks

Too tight? You can have the ice package

Set on the outside it

works pretty against the skin

I guess you're pretty good

with the whole first aid thing

Don't had a choice.

Forget to hold on for a minute

sorry.

Don't be

Don't be sorry

this isn't gonna work here.

How about the beach?

What you say the beach tonight?

Yeah I say beach tonight.

Just seat tight I gonna put some stuff together

Okay

Just slide to the back. Careful.

Be careful. Stir your leg this way.

Yeah walk on soft sand on a twisted

ankle is not highly recommended

And that's the beer talking.

Probably.

Can I get you guys anything else?

I...

another round?

I'm not driving.

Is that a yes or..?

Yes. No

So how do you met Tyler?

Blind date.

He was way out of my league.

Really? Yeah

My friends got sick of me constantly

picking the wrong type

And they chose one for me.

Collect and fix... I love the bad

and the broken

Cheers to the bad guys

uh I uh

I didn't mean it had

to be refreshing on you

Too late. Here's your check. Take out whenever

you're ready. And by the way the two of you adorable

Anyway I think I broke that

track record with Tyler.

Practically perfect

For three years

I miss this guy

I get nostalgic about twisted ankles and bad boys

you know what I mean

Will we get out of here?

I have a headache

Me too.

Thank you gentlemen

So are we enjoying the beach

tonight. Aren't Chris?

For some reason I don't

think you're there alone

What are you looking for?

Can't find my pills

for anxiety. I have PTSD

They were f***ing here

Let me try something

F*** off me

Come, let me try something.

Come. Come and sit down

This isn't gonna work.

Don't be so negative. Just give it a shot

How long was the last

time you have a massage?

Does physical therapy counts?

No

Never.

Never?

Where you got the idea?

Just a little something I picked up.

The answer is slowing your breathing.

Slow, deep breaths

You okay?

Yeah

This is how I sealed the deal with Tyler.

He asked me the best foreplay

to foreplay as I get massaged

I have to agree.

You okay?

Yeah

Morning. Good morning. I got breakfast

I hope you don't mind I took your car.

Fritters, eggs, toasts. You know the usual.

What are fritters?

Fritters? It's like the normal thing. Fritters

Don't worry. I'm gonna go wash

You left your phone in the bathroom.

Looks like you missed some calls

What?

Nothing. You remind me a lot of Tyler.

Oh, yeah?

Except you don't really look alike.

Okay. Maybe when you look

like this. Yeah there it go. Alright

Oh maybe if you think of that gun some point.

Maybe it's that I feel safe with you.
