Logan's Visit
Will checked the clock. Logan had given them an ETA, and Will wanted to make sure everything was ready for his stay. He and Kevin had set up a makeshift bedroom area in the loft, sectioned off with screens, and put a futon in it. And since their own bedroom was pretty much the same set up on the opposite side of the loft, they'd agreed to put the nookie on hold.
"Babe, did you put towels in the bathroom?" Will called to Kevin while he fed Wendell.
"Doing it now," Kevin called back. "And stop looking at the clock."
"How'd you know?" Will laughed.
"I know you," was the reply. "It's an estimated time of arrival, so stop clock watching. When he gets here, we'll grab something to eat and give him a chance to rest up from the trip."
Kevin walked out of the bathroom and over to Will. "Thanks for arranging the skydiving, by the way. I'm really excited to get up there in the morning."
"Me too," Will nodded, giving Kevin a kiss on the cheek. "I was thinking that afterwards we could head out to the Fourth of July festival at the base and stay for the fireworks."
"Hey, I'm easy," Kevin smiled. "You two can do the planning and I'll go along for the ride."

A smile and a nod to Will as he handed him the duffel bag, "Thanks."
Looking around as he followed Will, he said, "You guys have quite the place here. Very nice."

Re: visit
Suddenly, Will was hit in the head with Wendell's new squeak toy, and the little dog raced up to him as he chased after it.
"Sorry," Kevin grinned, raising a hand. "Bad throw."
Kevin ducked when Will picked up the toy and sent it sailing back at him, again making Wendell run after it with excited yips.
"Will, you're being rude," Kevin laughed. "Offer Logan a drink."
Will scowled at Kevin, then turned to his friend. "Logan, may I interest you in a drink? We've got pretty much everything."
Re: visit
"Yeah, a drink would be good. Um, a beer would be great if you guys are having one, otherwise a any kind of juice you have would work too."
Turning to Kevin, "Will was saying you recently moved into vice. Congratulations. How are you enjoying it?"
Re: visit
"I'm loving it, thanks," Kevin said, smiling as he invited Logan to take a seat on the couch, and took a seat in a chair. "It's something I've dreamed of doing since I joined the department, so I'm still pretty giddy. And what do you do? Will was pretty sketchy with the details."
"I said you guys could probably talk about guns," Will said with a wink as he brought out the drinks. He handed a bottle of beer to Logan, then Kevin, and took a seat on the couch with his own.
Re: visit
Smiling as he accepted the beer from Will, he thanked him then took a swallow. "For the past few years, I've been working as a Freelance Investigator. Which sounds much more exciting than it usually is."
"Have you ever had the opportunity to take a gun out at the firing range Will?"
Re: visit
"Always good to know how to protect yourself," Kevin shrugged and sat forward a little. "So, Logan, what kind of stuff do you do as a freelancer?"
Re: visit
"Yes, I have to agree with you there," he nodded, then shrugged. "Pretty much anything and everything. Really ends up depending on the case and what needs to be done. I would imagine it's fairly similar to some of the stuff you'd deal with in being a cop, just privately hired. The last case I had was breaking up an extortion operation. Sometimes it leads to protection, going undercover, retrieval... really pretty much anything. Oh, and I can't forget surveillance." He rolled his eyes, "Lots and lots of surveillance."
Re: visit
Kevin smiled and shook his head at Will. "Well, Logan, you sound like you've got a really good gig going. There probably aren't the restrictions the police have, and you have more control over your operation. It sounds great." He chuckled. "Except for the surveillance part since... Well, since it's surveillance. But the rest of it sounds like it'll definitely hold your attention."
Re: visit
"I can't complain. I've got the freedom to take the jobs I want, move when the urges strikes and travel all over the country." Small shrug then a grin, "And, no paperwork, or very little. Although I might be willing to trade that for the amount of times I end up getting shot at or in a confrontation. The lack of a badge translates into a lack of authority or leverage for them to do what I ask." He took a swallow of beer then asked, "How long have you been a cop?"
Re: visit
Re: visit
Smiling at Will, "How about you, Will? Have you always been interested in business?"
Re: visit
"It's what I've done for my entire career, but I've never been interested in it," Will laughed. "I went into banking because of my father."
Re: visit
Logan smiled, "Now's the perfect opportunity for you to explore other options. How's the writing and photography coming along?"
Re: visit
"Oh," Will grinned, "it's something I've thought about dabbling in, and maybe writing stories about the pictures I take." He looked at Logan. "The writing's coming along slowly, the photography's still on the back burner."
Re: visit
He smiled, "Sounds like your enjoying it though. Something you might turn into a career do you think?"
Re: visit
"You won't know 'til you try," Kevin frowned. "Think positively."
Re: visit
Re: visit
"Bullshit," Kevin countered. "You just don't give yourself any credit for anything you do, so you quit before you begin."
Will blushed a little and looked at Logan. "I'm married to Dr. Phil."
Re: visit
Re: visit
"Besides the aging bald part, I'm pretty close," Kevin grinned and got up from his chair to take a seat on the other side of Will. "Don't be mad," he said and gave Will a kiss. "I only bug you because I believe in you." He glanced at Logan and winked. "Hopefully, Logan'll bug you, too, so you'll be outnumbered."
Re: visit
Re: visit
"Always," Kevin smiled, nudging Will with his elbow.
Will smiled at him. "Now that we have that settled, what does everyone think about food? As in eating some soon.?"
Re: visit
Nodding, "Food would be good. Have anything in mind? With all the cutbacks, they've stopped serving anything on the plane. Not that the food they served was anything special but..." A shrug accompanied by a small smile, "I could definitely go for something."
