Survey Says...JD
Drumming his fingers on his desk, JD Dunne was bored. Beyond bored.
It was a little after noon on Friday for Denver’s ATF Team 7 and for once in a good, long while, everything was caught up. No outstanding warrants to file, no backlog of searches needing to be completed as of yesterday, no piles of paperwork to subdue into submission with a ‘mightier-than-the sword’ ballpoint. Nothing.
Chris was in a meeting with Judge Travis, Josiah and Nathan had gone out grab everyone some lunch. Across from him, feet on his desk, Buck had been flipping through some old magazines with an eye on using the down time for cleaning out the Bermuda triangles that were his desk drawers. JD had caught at least one Car and Driver, a couple of official ATF journals, last Sunday’s comics, a National Geographic with a half naked lady on the cover and at least one Wrestle Mania. Running his eyes over the tall body stretched out and leaning back in his chair, chuckling at what was probably the latest Funky Winkerbean joke, the hacker grinned. Never let it be said that Buck Wilmington wasn’t a well-rounded individual.
As much as he loved looking at Buck, there wasn’t much they could do about it here. And he was still bored.
The office was quiet, almost like criminals and agents alike had agreed on the date and were taking a holiday. Well, if that were true, he wished someone had told him! At least he would have come to work prepared and there was the latest electronic gaming issue that he hadn‘t yet read. The boss was out and while Chris wouldn’t have minded a little goofing off on a day like this, JD still felt a little guilty for doing it; like he wasn‘t earning his keep.
Vin, on the other hand, seemed quite at ease with doing nothing, the sharpshooter copying Buck's casual abuse of his desk. He would study the ceiling for a minute and then his wrist would flick around and up and there would be another yellow number 2 pencil dangling from the perforated ceiling. Directly over Ezra’s head.
Meeting his eyes, Vin just shrugged, blue eyes twinkling their silent laugh.
The undercover agent engrossed in whatever he was typing on his computer, JD was about to mime something about the Georgian and the wrath of the devil when his computer beeped. Swiveling around at the much welcome intrusion to his boredom, the youth opened up his email and scanned the new document with eager anticipation. The eagerness waned a moment later when he realized it was only one of those cookie-cutter survey’s running around the office web; this one from Greg of the Twelve.
Nothing that interesting there, but maybe with a little tweaking...what the hell. So he would send it to the fellas. Getting to work typing his own responses, JD deleted a couple questions and added a few of his own.
It was better than sitting around staring at the pencils in the ceiling.

Name: Jonathon Daniel Dunne
Birthdate: August 12, 1981
Sex: Male
Marital Status: Single but committed.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? I should say in the city because I like the bustle, but hey, I have my laptop and the net, so virtual excitement’s ok. And I like horses and the country. Nice and peaceful.
What is your favorite article of clothing? T-shirts, jeans and sneakers. Oh, and my black dragon long sleeve washed soft and thin - the one that Buck keeps trying to throw away.
Favorite physical feature of the opposite sex? Ummm...eyes. I think. Smile? It, um, really depends on the person.
What is the last CD that you bought? The Matrix Reloaded.
Where is your favorite place to be? Inside on a chilly, rainy day, curled up on the couch, under the covers and watching a baseball game. Especially if the Cubs are winning.
Where is your least favorite place to be? On a stakeout when the rest of the team isn’t there.
What is your favorite place to be massaged? My shoulders after hunching hours over a keyboard.
What time do you wake up in the morning? 6am during the week but Buck usually lets me sleep until 9 on the weekends before I have to get up and make coffee. ::glaring at Buck::
Do you cook? ::shudder:: No way.
What is your favorite kitchen appliance? The microwave so I don‘t have to eat my own (or Buck‘s) cooking.
What is the most dangerous thing you've ever done? Hey, I’m ATF - shootouts, drug deals, weapons, and mass mayhem are my specialty. Maybe hacking into Chris’ personnel file...::big hasty grin:: No, I’m kidding!
What is your favorite color? Red. Or maybe Blue.
What is your favorite tv show? Baseball, cartoons...CSI is cool.
What is your favorite season? Summer when I can go swimming the lake.
What is your least favorite household chore? Doing the dishes - yuck! ::Making a face::
If you could have one super power, what would it be? I’ve always wanted to fly...I think it would be so cool to go traveling and see everywhere without having to bother with an airplane.
If you have a tattoo, what is it? Not yet, but I want one. Maybe a dragon somewhere...
Can you juggle? Never learned.
What is your favorite day? Friday! Except today when I’m bored outta my skull.
From the people receiving this list, who is the most likely to respond first? Ezra? Buck? Vin?
Last? Chris or Nathan or Josiah since they‘re all out.
What is your favorite flower? Momma always liked pink roses...the soft, almost white ones. She always had them around the house.
Latex or leather? Leather.
Apples or oranges? Oranges I guess. Or strawberries.
Blue or black ink? Black or blue, whatever‘s handy. I think I had a purple gel pen once. ::glaring:: Save it, Buck - I know where you live.
What is your favorite hobby? Computers, riding my bike (hence the leather), martial arts....
Favorite childhood memory? Grooming the horses around Pete’s old ranch. Or snuggled up with momma reading to me at night, on the main house porch when it was just a little cool out and the fireflies and crickets were out.
Wizard or Warrior? Wizard. That way I can zap Thompson when he’s being a prick. I already know he doesn’t like me and *he* already knows I can kick his ass.
What’s happening as you finish this survey? Well, Buck, you’re still reading, Ezra, you’re checking the net - stocks, Ez? - and Vin, you’re up to a new pack of pencils. ::innocent look:: Oop - looks like you guys are back with lunch, Josiah and Nathan is torn between laughing and frowning at Vin. Chris, you’re still with Travis.

Setting the type and sending his email out with a flourish, JD chuckled at the raised eyebrow Buck was giving him over their computer screens as his email beeped and settled in to wait for his teammates responses.

JD had just finished the burger and fries the fellas had brought him for lunch when he got his first bite. Expecting it to be from Buck since he knew that Buck had seen him send the email, he was surprised to find Ezra’s ID in the sender box. Grinning, looking forward to what Ez might have sent, he clicked on and opened the message.
A few moments later, JD finished reading Ezra’s answers, feeling a little let down. More than that, feeling a little hurt. Sure, he knew Ezra didn’t really go for things like silly surveys in email, not being real big on questions in general, but still...
It would have been nice to get a little more than one line answers.
Ezra P Standish. N/a birthdate. Male. Single. Here. My suit. N/a. Opera. N/a...the entire survey was like that. Nothing personal, nothing that even a friend would know.
Though he knew he had no reason, JD felt a slight funk set in and his fingers toyed listlessly over the keyboard. He thought he and Ezra had grown a lot closer over the past few months since the team had gotten....together...but maybe he was wrong.
Unaware that he was biting his lip softly, the young man shook his head. Feelings aside, noone else had responded yet and the least he could do was finish reading what Ezra had sent; after all, he had taken the time to type *something*.
Sighing, JD scrolled down. He had meant it to be fun.
Lost in a fog, he almost missed the post script added after Ezra’s sig line...
