*complete, 2013 02, character: april kepner, character: eliot spencer, dead: nathan ford

RP: Eliot/April/Nate
Who: Eliot/April/Nate
When: Monday 2-4-13
Where: The apartment
Summary: Right after Vance departs.

Eliot was angry. Angry at Vance. Angry at himself. Angry with Nate and April. Once Vance and the others had left, Eliot lashed out in his anger at his family. "Let's hunt a serial killer. Let's call Vance," he said snidely. "All I try to do is protect you both, and what do I get for it? Threatened with death, kicked out of my home, and completely failing in safeguarding you. I wanted to give us a life and freedom, and blew it."

He ground his teeth. He needed to go outside and cool off. But first, there were things to attend. "April, call work tomorrow and tell them the doctor put you on bed rest, so you have to resign. Tell them I'll pick up your final paycheck as soon as it's ready. You can tell our friends that we're in witness protection and being relocated, or tell them nothing. It doesn't really matter.

"Nate, get out of your job however you want. I'm not going to leave John and Billie high and dry, so I'll give notice and stick around longer if need be. We have to get out of our lease, get our deposit back, get a moving truck, sell the car, and sterilize the house. We're also going to take advantage of these IDs while we still got them and amass some quick cash. Nate and I will take care of that, and Nate, you'll have to set up a P.O. Box outside the area for it. Use the rental ID for the moving truck. We'll buy a new car with the new ID whenever we get to wherever we're going. April, you get to handle picking our new location."

Eliot snapped for Cody. "I'm taking the dog out in the yard. I'll be back in as soon as I stop wanting to kill someone."

"Because you never liked him and you thought you were free of him," she said. "Because you haven't been happy or felt appreciated or in control since arriving in this dimension until now. Because on some level you blame him and the other leads for not allowing you to protect Parker and Hardison. Because for the first time you were running your own life, in stead of following orders. Because for the first time you were doing what you wanted to do, living the life you wanted to live, being the person you wanted to be. You feel he's taken all of that from you, but he hasn't. He can't. He can drive us away from here, but he can't change who you are. He can't change who you want to be. Only you can do that."

She smiled at him. "Knowing you might have to leave, and actually being forced to, they're two different things. You might have known it here," she said brushing his hair from his face, before moving her hand down to his chest. "But you didn't know it here. You have settled into this community as much as I have, and we might call it covers, but we both know that's not entirely true."

	Eliot grunted at her. She could read and interpret him so well it was scary. It was a good thing he married her. "So... Kentucky? Nate's gonna hate it. They have some dry counties there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Kentucky," she confirmed. "And I'm sure we can pick one of those dry counties too. It will be good for him whether he likes it or not." And them. She liked Nate, she really did. He was caring and smart and intellectual - at least when he was sober. His drinking, his melancholy and his restlessness wasn't just hard to cope with but put hem in danger. In her mind the less Nate was able to drink, the better off they all were.

"Come on, help me find one of those dry counties, and we can start looking for rentals and jobs. And I know we don't need to be out of here before Thursday, but the sooner we can leave the better. We'll start over, and this time we won't make the same mistake."
