*** Will Cooper was always surprised to remember that he enjoyed DC in the spring as he watched a family of ducks make their way across a pond not to far from the office. He heard footsteps approach and he did his best to conceal his grin.
Someone sat down next to him and said, "So, what's this I hear about you getting your ass handed to you by some old guy?"
Will Cooper chuckled. "Fuck you, Brandt. What's this I hear about you falling down some air shaft wearing chain mail?"
William Brandt shrugged. "The things we gotta do for our country, man. How's the family?"
"Loud and getting bigger," Will said not bothering to hide the pride and love in his voice. "What's this about you being back in the field?"
"Opportunity knocked," William said. "I'm just finally getting around to answering."
"Right." Will reached into his briefcase and pulled out a memory stick. "I got you the intel you asked for. And do not make this a habit, asshole. Just because we hung out at that place that time does not make us bosom buddies."
"Aw, shucks," William said taking the memory stick and smirking. "And you've got such a nice bosom, Cooper."
"Fuck you."
"Fuck you, back. Love to Michelle and the hellions."
"Yeah, yeah. Try not to die."
"Back atcha."
William got up and left the park while Will went back to watching the ducks in the pond and wondering if the kids would like to go fishing that weekend.
