Trooper Station, Monday

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

There were a lot of kids running around town this past weekend.

Renee counted herself among the lucky few childless and avoiding the general amount of chaos they seemed to bring with them. And she had coffee.

Oh yeah, life was good.

"Good morning, Detective," Dale said as he breezed into the office in his usual cheerful mood. "I take it by the lack of children in the office that you did not have any surprises this weekend?"

"I think that would be unlikely," Renee said dryly. "I'm not the maternal type."

Re: The Bullpen

"Really?" Dale said tilting his head. "I think you'd make an excellent mother."

And turn into her own parents? No. That wasn't in the cards.

"I take it you didn't have any visitors either then."

Re: The Bullpen

"Not any of mine," Dale replied cheerfully. "Though I did meet our Sheriff's possible son and a young lady needed some help finding her mother. Quite and an eventful weekend."

"You seem like the type to have a bunch of kids," Renee said, shakign her head in amusement.

"Given my history," Dale said with just a trace of bitterness, "I highly doubt that's going to happen. Plus an FBI agent's life tended to eliminate the traditional family lifestyle."

"Cops don't have the best to look forward to either," She replied, noding in understanding. "But you're still more likely than me, I think."

Re: The Bullpen

"Never say never," Dale said with a grin. "I'm betting some day you'll have a tough as nails little girl following you around asking to have a faceless mask to wear."

Re: The Bullpen

"Ugh, don't give me that mental image."

Re: The Bullpen

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Dale said, "I thought it was kind of cute."

Re: The Bullpen

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

"Trust me, we don't need kids emulating me."

Dale looked over at Renee for a moment or two and then studied his paperwork. "You know, Detective, you have many fine qualities. Your curiosity. Your determination. Your need to make the world a better place. All very admirable."

Re: The Bullpen

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

Renee was not flattered at all.

Really.

"You keep going and I'll start to think you have a thing for me."

Re: The Bullpen

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"I do," Dale said with a grin. "It's called professional respect."

Re: The Bullpen

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

Renee snorted. "Flatterer."

Re: The Bullpen

[pieandcoffee.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever known me to say something just to get on your good side?" Dale asked looking up from his paperwork.

Re: The Bullpen

[not-an-answer.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say it was for that, Cooper."

Re: The Bullpen

Dale grinned and went back to his paperwork. "Good. Just checking."
