I worry about scaring you away.

[immortaldoc]

Steve...didn't we talk about this already, and didn't I already say it'll take a lot to scare me away?

[calledmechamp]

I know we did but my life is about to get really hectic. I just...I need to know you'll be there when I get back.

[immortaldoc]

Why is it about to get hectic? What's going on, Steve?

[calledmechamp]

I'm tracking Shelburne with Joe. He's about to take me to Shelburne soon.

I promise it'll be okay.

[immortaldoc]

Who's Shelburne? [She doesn't recall ever hearing that name before, and now she's a little confused.] What's going to happen, Steve?

[calledmechamp]

The person who killed my mom. [ This whole case had consumed him, like it had consumed his father. She had to know what was happening. ] Joe's going to lead me to Shelburne, and I don't know what will happen after that. [ Which was a first for him ]

[immortaldoc]

Oh. I didn't know. [She's smart enough to know this is going to be dangerous,and she's not sure how she feels about it. However, she's not going to hold him back. Emily knows this is something Steve needs to do.]

Will you promise that you'll try to be careful?

[calledmechamp]

I promise I'll try to be careful. [ He's pretty sure he couldn't guarantee his own safety but he would try his hardest to come back to her in one piece ] I won't be going for another week or so, I just wanted to let you know ahead of time. [ He pauses ] I love you, Em.

[immortaldoc]

Thank you. That's all I can really ask for. [She knows she can't ask him to promise anymore than that. Emily was around enough missions when she was in the military, and she knows how unpredictable these things were.

And when he says he loves her, her lips lift into a smile.] I love ya, too, Steve. And I have faith that you'll get this guy, and get some sort of justice for your mother and family.
