Outback Steakhouse (September 22, Tuesday Evening)

Dani was looking forward to eating steak, she settled in one table and one of the waiters passed the menu to her. She ordered a coke and then proceeded to study the menu.

(For one! but steakhouse open!)

Kyle spotted Dani and pointed her out to the waiter who asked him if he could help him. The waiter gave a nod and Kyle headed over and sat down. "Hey Detective Reese."

"Hey," she returned with a smile, "did you have trouble finding this place? And you can call me Dani when I'm off duty."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay," he agreed. "But you're still a Detective even when you're off-duty aren't you?"

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, yeah," Dani nodded, "still a detective. Sometimes the hard part's switchin' it off."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes you have to," she answered simply. When she was a rookie she didn't get why she needed to. After the whole undercover thing happened she realized why it was needed.

"Steak." Dani said, guiding the topic back to what's really relevant, "What're you ordering?"

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Steak," he replied. "I'll have whatever you're having." That way he didn't even need to look at the menu. It was a tried and true method at Luke's now.

Dani smirked, "Alright." She signaled the waiter, "Give us two ribeyes with garlic mashed potatoes, chargrilled. Make mine medium rare. Then for dessert give us the Sweet Adventure Sampler Trio."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Medium rare," Kyle agreed. "And a water for me." The waiter nodded and Kyle turned his attention back to Dani. "Steak's a pretty involved process."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes," Dani said. Her smile grew, "I can't wait for you to try it."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"You're building up some pretty high expectations."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry," she assured him. "These things almost always live up to it. Why, has any of the food you've eaten disappointed you yet?"

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Only when I ate too much of it and got a bad stomach ache. I learned not to do that."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Dani smirked, "Yeah, that usually happens if you eat too much." She reached for her water and sipped. "You invited your friends to watch a movie yet?"

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Not yet. We got busy on the weekend. Vice Principal Deadpool got us to make a playset for his kid."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Part-time job?" She asked.

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Punishment," he admitted. "We got caught."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Dani's eyebrows rose. "Caught? Doin' what?"

She frowned at herself, she didn't mean to use her cop voice, it just slipped out.

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
He leaned back and looked sheepish as he scratched at the back of his head. "We took out the door and door frame of Rose and Morgana's room and put up drywall and painted it so it looked like the room disappeared."

A part of Dani wanted to facepalm, a part of her wanted smirk at the prank. The part of her that was forever a rebel and got way too deep into her undercover role--

"Nice," she said.

--cheered.

Then realized she shouldn't have said that and quickly added, "But you shouldn't ever do that again. Because it's wrong."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Why? We didn't break it and didn't do anything that couldn't be easily fixed."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," she explained, "but some people get touchy when other people mess with their things."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Kyle nodded. "That's pretty much what the Vice Principal said, so we're going to try to do stuff that doesn't change any school property."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
"And this time try not to get caught," she said.

She shouldn't have said that either! Dammit, she shouldn't be around impressionable kids when she's off duty.

Fortunately, their orders arrived. "Our steak's here!"

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Kyle's eyes widened as he saw the steak coming towards them. The smell hit first and then the plates were put in front of them. His mouth started watering. Before he even had a chance to taste it, he could tell that this was no hamburger.

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-23 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
No. This was no burger. Dani was grinning from ear to ear and waited patiently as the waiter placed the steaks before them.

She breathed in deep. Why did it take her so long to eat some steak again?

She picked-up her knife and fork then looked at Kyle, loving his reaction.

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-24 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Kyle followed suit and took Dani's movement to mean he could dig in, which he did. The first bite was chewed slowly as he savored the taste and texture. It was unlike anything he'd had before.

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-24 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Well?" She prompted, expectantly.

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
He waited until he was finished his mouthful. "I get it now. Steak is the best food ever."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
"I did tell you," she said, looking really smug and proud. "Best food. Ever."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Is it always like this?"

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
"It's always like this," Reese leaned close, looked around as if she's about to impart some secret. "Sometimes? It's even better!"

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Now you're messing with me," Kyle protested. "No way can it get better."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope, not messin' with you," she lifted her hand, "swear on my badge, there's better steaks out there."

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Kyle shook his head. "No wonder cows are hard to find at home."

[identity profile] gunandcoffee.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I won't be surprised if someone managed to stockpile the cows," she joked.

[identity profile] weetinyreese.livejournal.com 2009-09-25 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
Reese paused in thought. "I hadn't thought of that. You're probably right. Somewhere in Montana or Idaho," he decided. "I've never been that far north, but it's possible." He made a mental note to suggest the concept to Connor in his next tape-letter home. "Definitely not in the LA area though."
