Scene 11: Logan and Trina

Agent Booth would take exception to such a characterization. Logan, however, would be amused.

He answers quickly enough, and he's even fully dressed. Wearing real clothes, not pajamas. Because - shocker! He went to class that morning! And came home for lunch.

"Hey, Trina," he says, surprised. "What's up? Come on in. Need a hand?"

"Chocolate," she says, handing him one of the McDonald's cups.

"I've been meeting with new least favorite government stoodge. Thought I'd stop by and say hi before I drove back to LA."

"You mean Mr. Awesome FBI guy? Lucky you," he says, slurping the milkshake. "He found me on campus like, a week ago. What a dick."

Trina's eyes narrow slightly, but only for a second.

"Did he?" she says lightly. "And did he try that bad-actor-playing-a-cop looming attempt-at-intimidation thing?"

And, more importantly, did he succeed?

"A little," Logan says, smirking. "He's really not as good at it as he thinks, huh? But mostly I just wanted to get rid of him, so he bailed pretty fast."

He's making light of the conversation because, well, it's not something he really wants to remember. It wasn't awful, but it was hardly pleasant.

He might be better at it if he weren't up against a couple of people who are pretty damn good at concealing things.

"Good," says Trina.

She hesitates, and then adds, "Are you doing okay?"

"I'm, um..." He looks down at the milkshake, then up again. "I don't know, really. I'm not falling apart, so I guess OK."

"Good," she says again.

"You need anything?"

Logan shrugs. "I don't think so," he says. "Maybe just for this to be over, but if you can make that happen - you've been holding out on me."

"I can say something to Beverly, if you want. Get him to leave you alone. But that's about it.

"Sorry."

"No, I - honestly, he's a dick, but he's not that bad, you know? Lamb - Lamb was way worse."

And he imagines Vinne Van Lowe would also be worse. Possibly worse than Lamb.

"Besides, he didn't seem to act like I was a suspect, so..." He trails off, shrugs again.

"Lamb was a waste of oxygen."

Trina looks at him for a second, then nods. "Okay.

"So you're up and dressed, and it's only 1:20 in the afternoon. You feeling all right?"

He laughs. "Yeah. I went to class and everything. Not an early class or anything, but it was before noon, and I get points for that."

Parker's even keeping track. She's been a good influence.

"Yeah? Can you trade them in for valuable prizes?"

"Maybe," Logan says, looking smug. "My girlfriend's good graces, if nothing else. And it's kind of nice to not have to struggle in school anymore, you know? It's not like anything I'm taking is especially hard."

"A good place to be.

"So when do I get to meet this marvel who manages to make you attend class? Or are you not ready to scare her off with meeting family yet?"
