Willa's eyes were closed until he moved his hand onto her arm and began to lightly stroke her arm. She watched his fingertips on her arm and wondered what he was thinking. Her heart leapt when he softly said that he loved her. It was the one thing she had always hoped he would say to her.  Willa rose up to meet his lips in a long overdue kiss that said everything. She pulled him tighter to her and said, [color=8dc73f]"I've loved you for so long. I would do anything for you. Don't you know that?"[/color] Willa kissed him for several moments and just when things seemed like they might go further she heard Paon's loud snore not more than seven feet away. It was the metaphorical bucket of ice water. She giggled as she remembered that there was a man/dragon also in the room with them.

Willa was content to lay in his embrace and feel the freedom of being able to express her feelings for him. She cuddled up with Benji and slept more peacefully than she had in a very long time.

Maren walked into the building the next morning and the break in was the only thing on everyone's mind. It seemed like security was somehow tighter than normal even though it was exactly the same. It was more that everyone was focussed on what they were doing. Things had gotten a little too real for the staff. It appeared that they were looking at this as a possible inside job. Maren let security do what they needed to do. She went to her desk and saw that Charlie's door was closed. She couldn't tell if he was in there yet or not. She sat down and got to work. She was trying not to look any different than any other day. She knew that the scientists would be on a rampage looking to accuse any sympathizers so she was doing her best to focus on her work. 

One of her friends from downstairs, Beth came in and stopped by her desk. [color=f7941d]"Did you hear about the break in to the lab? They got everything, even the Phoenix that they were so excited by."[/color]

 Maren gave a look of confusion. [color=f7941d]"What is wrong?"[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Well you know I love animals, all animals."[/color] Beth nodded. 

[color=00aeef]"Well I'm sorry for the scientists because it is so much research lost. It really is. On the other hand I'm glad the animals are alive. I can't help but wonder if this is karma somehow. I don't know. I do think it is creepy though that someone would break in, that is actually kind of scary to me. I hope they catch the guy." [/color]Maren was a decent actress and no one would think she had any knowledge of the incident.

[color=f7941d]"Me too!"[/color] Beth said and she hurried to the copy room as one of the lab assistant's entered the room for coffee.
