	Tas sat there in her car, waiting for everyone to get situated and for Cass to bring over her luggage. Nodding at the girl and giving her a bit of a wave as she came over and loaded her things and what looked like Claire's as well in the back of the Cruiser. So Claire was riding with Cass? Probably for the best. She loved Claire but she wasn't exactly happy with the woman right then. Better if they were apart a bit so she could calm down. That was the way things worked with them; a blow up, few hours to cool down and then everything was back to normal. She knew Claire had meant well but she was still irked and rightfully so.

	Then Tas's day just got worse. Looking at her phone as two texts came in from Nat she nearly chucked her phone out the window. Tas had been missing for ten days and while she hadn't expected Nat to go crazy that she had returned, she had at least expected a welcome back or something from the woman that called her sister. Tas put her phone down, her hands trembling as they rested on the steering wheel. That hurt, some friend. Seemed Nat was only focused on the trip and nothing else. Right then Tas made a hard decision, that the woman she would have once given a kidney to if she needed it was not longer worth her time. Friendship was a two way street and she was tired of being alone in it. 

	Tas wouldn't say anything though, she'd play nice. Like she did with everyone. She'd do it for Dom, even though she had to wonder. She had to hope that Nat was more caring and paid more attention to the mountain of a man than she did others. For his sake at least. Taking a deep breath she tried to calm down and get her mind right. She really didn't want to go now, she had been going for Nat but why bother now? She was stressed, her father just died and now her [i]sister[/i] just left without nothing more than a text to the rest of the group. 

	She wanted to just chuck her keys to Alex, tell him to enjoy the drive and go up to her apartment to start packing. Packing? Tas guessed she had just made her decision; she would take the job in Boston. Stay long enough to pack and help Claire out with her finals and then make the five day drive from west coast to east. It would be better this way. Too trauma, too much stress, to much everything. A new city and a new start. Yes, that was exactly what she needed.

	Pulling her keys out of the ignition and separated her apartment keys from her car keys. Sighing she handed them over to Alex, a man she barely knew, and forced a smile. [color=a187be]"Something came up. I have to stay behind. Tank is full, should get you half way there. Bring it back in once piece,"[/color] she said quickly before grabbing her phone and slipping out of the driver seat. 

	Stepping to the backdoor she opened it and gave Kip a big hug, leaning back she smiled at him gently. [color=a187be]"Take lots of pictures, I'll want to see them when you get back,"[/color] she said softly before stepping away and making her way to the back of the car. 

	Grabbing her luggage, she slammed the door shut as her phone went off again. Sighing she pulled it out and checked it. It was Derrick, another one of the new comers to the apartments. The one that had moved in after Sam moved out. Taking a deep breath she shot him a text back.

Yeah, you're free to catch a ride in my car, there is room for more. Something came up for me and I won't be going but I handed my keys to Alex. Him and Kip are already all loaded up. Just head over to the Blue PT Cruiser and climb in. Have fun![/color][/center]

	Hitting send she slipped her phone back in her pocket and slung her bag over shoulder. Passing Claire and Cass she didn't say anything but gave Claire a knowing look. It was clear she wasn't going. Claire nodded slightly, wishing Tas was going but knowing if she had decided to stay there was nothing to change the woman's mind. Pulling out her phone she sent a quick text to someone and then slipped it back into her pocket. Tas didn't say anything to anyone  as she made her way through the cafe and then up the stairs. Unlocking the door to her apartment she sighed, this was going to tale a while. She had some things over at Claire's and the rest here in the apartment she shared with Echo.

	Pulling out her phone as she sat down on the couch. [color=a187be]"Good morning, this is Doctor Natasha Brinne. I'll take the job. Yes, I can be there by the end of May, that won't be a problem. Thank you, I look forward to it. Goodbye,"[/color] she said before hanging up and tossing her phone down on the table.
