I mean it's not like she's the only one to do that.
"You like your job?" he asks, his eyes set hard. Her eyebrows furrow a tad.
"Yes."
"If you want fieldwork, shut the fuck up," he says simply and her eyes widen in surprise.
"I-I didn't know you were the head," she struggles, her eyes darting everywhere.
"Shit," drunk Jai drawls out as he's being dragged somewhere by Theo and Linc, "now you know he's bossman. You tried to flirt with the bossman. Did you know that Azalea?"
He breaks free from Lincoln and Theo, coming over to me.
"I don't think I like Jaqueline very much," he attempts to be quiet but everyone around us heard it.
"Okay Jai," I speak to him more or so like a child. Drunk people are like children, at least that's what I've learned from when mom gets drunk. Dad, not so much at all.
"I'm gonna go sneak some more tequila," he attempts to be quiet once more before sneaking away.
Grey pulls me away from in front of the door where everything went down and we end up at the kitchen table where Jai is being put in 'timeout.'
"I was hoping she was gonna be a little nicer, y'know?" I mumble, sitting down in the seat at the head of the table.
"Younger girls,"I grumble. I bite down harshly.
"I'm fired the freak up Grey," I grumble unhappily.
"Six years. That's hardly anything. Nineteen and twenty-five. It's not even bad!" I exclaim.
"My parents are sixteen years apart," Lincoln chimes in, keeping a close eye on Jai who's currently trying to slide out of his chair and under the table.
Theo grabs the back of Jai's shirt to keep him from sliding completely under the table.
I look over at Grey to find that he's looking at me already.
"Send her to a different unit, give her to the DEA," Lincoln proposes.
"I've already sent out her file," he says, bringing his hand forward and gripping onto my chair. He slides my chair to right beside him and then picks up my legs, placing them over his lap.
He runs his hands up and down my legs and I lean my head against his shoulder.
He grabs an unopened beer from the table in front of us and he starts drinking. With a kiss pressed to the top of my head, he basically chugs down the rest of it.
Yikes.

I watch him repeat the action a good four more times before deciding that I should go to bed. Jai escaped twice and was caught both times. Although the second time he was brought back, he had a hidden mini bottle of tequila.
It was pretty funny.
I probably shouldn't be but I'm just scared to see what drunk Grey is like. Is he mean? Is he nice? I don't want to know.
I know he'd never hurt me and he's nothing like dad but I'd rather not see what he's like.
Plus, Bear and I can snuggle. So once in the room, I remove my pants and shirt, grab one of his, and jump into bed with Bear following.
I give Bear a wonderful belly rub that he deserves and he and I watchTreehouseMasterson the mounted TV.
