Sands paced
the waiting room, feeling more helpless than he ever had in his life. His parents, his sister�they actually paled
in comparison to his feelings for Grace.
He had never needed someone until she came along � and just as quickly
as he found her, he could lose her.

�Sands?�

He stopped
pacing at the sound of Harold�s voice.
�Do you know something?�

�No. Look, we have to get you back to Virginia��

Sands was
appalled. �Are you fucking kidding
me? I�m not leaving.�

�You need
to be debriefed and��
/p>

�So
defuckingbrief me here � I�m not leaving!�

Harold
decided to dig a bit deeper. �Why
not? We won�t leave her alone here, she
is the CIA�s responsibility since we asked to to stay with you.�

�I can�t,
all right?�

�So you have
been sleeping with her then.yes"> �I don�t believe it.�

�Believe
what?�

�Mr. �I
Don�t Give a Fuck About Anyone� actually cares about somebody.�

�I don�t care
about her, Harold,� Sands spat. He
found the wall and slumped against it.
�I love her.�

�What?�

�I L-O-V-fucking-E her, all right?�

Harold simply looked at Sands. Part of him wanted to ask him to put his
glasses back on, the other�well, the other part of him was toopefipefied by the
revelation that Sands was even familiar with what love was. �Are you�all right?�

Sands put his glasses back on,
shaking his head. �What the fuck do you
think?�
&s]>
�I have to go make a couple of
calls.
�No.�

Harold returned a half hour later,
two cups of coffee in his hands. He
handed one to Sands, then said, �I�m flying a surgeon down � he�ll be here by
six.�

�A surgeon? Do you know something about Grace that I
don�t?�

�Not for her, for you. We can�t have you running around with holes
in your head, you�ll freak your woman out.�

�She doesn�t seem to mind,� he said
softly.

�You let her see?�

�Yeah.�

�On purpose?�

Sands grew angry. �Do you have a fucking problem with that?�

�No,� Harold said quickly. �I just thought�face it, you�ve always been
a bit cocky when it comes to women and��

�She�s not some one night stand,
Harold. She asked to see, so I showed
her.�

�In less than a week she managed
to��

�Do more than�� He didn�t finish his thought. �I�ll fucking kill that bastard if
she�� Footsteps approached the m cau causing Sands to freeze up.

�You brought in Grace Milano?� a
doctor with a thick accent asked.

�Yes,� Sands quickly answered. �What�s going on? Is she all right?�

�She is still in surgery, se�or,
she has lost a lot of blood, but things are looking better than when she
arrived. I will let you know when she
is out.�

�Thanks.� Sands voice was emotionless.
The doctor walked away and Sands put a hand to his forehead.

�You really do love her,�
Harold said, things finally sinking in.

Sands slid down the wall, taking a
seat on the floor. �I�d let them
fucking bleed me dry if it meant she�d be all right.�

Harold took a seat on the floor
next to Sands. His voice was suddenly
brimming with emotion. �I thought you
died.�

�You got a phone call after I was��

�Not down here, Sheldon. When you were first on the job�when your
sister was�I thought you died then. You
turned into someone who was nothing like the young man you were when I first
met you. Thaman man in there,� his head
nodded toward the operating room, �brought you back from the dead. I�m going to have to thank her�then ask her
to get you to clean up your language a bit.�

�Yeah well�I�m thanking her first.� Then it happened. Everything that Sands had gone through in the past week hit him
with the force of a train. Had anyone
else been there with him, he would have continued holding everything in, but
Harold was different. As many times as
they�d been at odds, as many times as Harold had given the impression of
disliking Sands, he was the closet thing to a father Sands had � and Haroknewknew it. Insults came from both ends,
but were never really meant. Fights
occurred, but never held. He�d been through
rough times with Sands, but nothing that compared to the recent events in his
life. It didn�t shock Harold in the
least when Sands leaned his head on his shoulder and began to sob
violently. Sands would never admit to
it later, but it didn�t matter. He didn�t
need to be his usual �hard-ass� self then � his secret would be safe.
