Nathan's words hung into the air as he left . Carter wanted to question it ofcourse. But it wouldn't make Nathan answer him.
He plops down on the floor, frustrated. Just what scene did he comet in his past life to deserve this harassment and suspicion?
"Oh god ! " He wails .
He is too tired after thks nonsence of an argument. The floor seems to call him at that. With a Sai he lies down on the floor despite all the dust scattered across.
He doesn't care anymore he is so damn tired and annoyed .
Carter watches the ceiling " I need to proove my innocence..–"
His sentence doesn't end before the door is almost thrown open.
" What damn ! " Carter screeches.
A very exhausted looking Rachael stand at the door , arm wide open with throwing the door open.
He stares " Rachel? "
The moment Rachael sees Carter. She almost jumps on him .
" Carter ? "
"Yeah? "
Rachael kneels next to him " what are you sprawled like this ? Did anything happen? Are you okay?"
She is fumbling, Carter notices .
" I am fine . Fortunately. But you should have warned me. Nathan was here ! I didn't want to meet him ?"
Rachael sighs " i didn't knew they out the inventory box on here the other day ! "
Her voice gets a bit quoter " sorry man. You really didn't need to meet him here "
Carter sits up " I know. I know. Not your fault. "
Rachael looks defeated.
" He did not hit you right?"
" Well almost did "
"What ?" Rachael mouth hangs opne " he did what ? "
Carter laughs at her expression " don't worry richy , Didn't hit me in the end ."
" Don't call me Richy!!" Rachael snaps.
She rubs her face in frustration. This is so messed up . Carter's little smile seems too comfortable. He is a bit sweaty . Probably scared too , the smile hiding it .
Rachael sighs. She knows this guy since her diaper days. His too .
" So what happened? " She tries again.
Carter smiles again .
" Nothing – "
" Oh come on ! " Rachael stands up " i know you're upset, but you don't tell me , I can't tell me Miranda. And she will surely – "
Her rambling stops at Carter shaking her shoulders" it's a long story Richy !"
" Well tell me ! "
Carter lets her go.
" If I start telling it here , your drama will never end. "
Oh right ! They need the shield. But Carter almost got hit !
Rachael tries to protest " but your dignity is at stake!"
Carter already moving across room grabs the shield, sitting quietly behind fallen curtains , drappings.
He turns towards her .
" Let's go . "
Rachael grabs his hand the moment he tries to get past her .
" Home up ." She gares " you are annoying. When are gonna tell me !? "
Carter moves his hand, tight in Rachael's grip uncomfortably.
" Rachael how about you dinner at my place ?"
" Don't change the subject!"
Carter nods in disapproval " please not now " .
Rachael's glare softens at the please .
" Okay fine . But you are sounding like my grandpa." She deepens her voice " WE EILL TALK OVER DINNER "
