Jack raised his eyebrows at Brian's retort, throwing a glance at Rome and turned back at Brian. "You sure you haven't? Both of you aren't exactly angels yourself, you know."
He saw the expression on Brian's face and knew exactly what it meant. He saw it every time he messed up and never got used to seeing the disappointment. It always made him feel he'd let his brother down. Despite that though, he was still him and he still always had to have the last word. "Fine. No more promises from me. I'd hate to not live up to your great expectations, bro!"

Faye looked between the three men and closed her eyes, she could feel it simmering down, but the anger was still a high point in the room and she knew how quickly it could disperse again.
"Im gonna let you guys talk it out"She pulled herself free from Jack's arms and headed out of the kitchen threw to the front room and out of the front door, plopping herself down on the front step.
With her gaze flixed on the grass in front of her she attempted to calm her nerves, her accelertated heart rate and she knew if she didnt manage to calm herself she was gonna have a full blown panic attack.

"I wonder why you stayed my friend this whole time when you have such issues with my job, just suck it up. Plus the FBI just put me on the streets anyway. So be happy!" This whole visit turned out to be a rather upsetting display.
Brian raised his chin up and kept staring at his brother. "You always have to have the last word, don't you?" He spun around and left the room. "I'm just going to grab my stuff and then I'm out of here. And you better start earning some money so you can pay the rent, Jack!"
Brian went upstairs to his former bedroom, which was not cluttered with jack or Rome's stuff. He pulled a duffel bag out from underneath the bed and filled it with the rest of his clothes and books.
Then he slowly made his way down the stairs with the heavy bag. On his way out he almost stmbled over Faye and lost the bag. "Oh, I'm sorry." He was breathing heavily because he was in pretty bad shape now. Leaning his elbow on the hand rail he looked at her. "I'm sorry for getting mad at Jack. He just doesn't think before he causes trouble. He's a good guy though. he won't hurt you. Don't worry." he paused seeing the worry in her face. "I still think you shouldn't condem Ashton because he did his job. He couldn't tell you. I know exactly what that feels like and I'm telling you he's probably hurting if he came back here to talk to you."

Jack let Faye go with some concern in his eyes. This whole shit must have fallen pretty hard on her, but he figured she could probably do with some alone time.
Hearing his brother's words, he scoffed at Brian's retreating back and shook his head while he mumbled under his breath. "Fuck."
He turned towards the sink, grabbing the towel Faye had earlier and dabbed some of the blood from his face while he moved his already swollen jaw and winced slightly. It had been a while since he'd pissed his brother off this much and he hadn't even done something to Brian personally.
Minutes later, he could hear his brother having trouble coming back down the stairs, but just ignored it. Whether his brother was still recovering or not, he was still too pissed to lend him a helping hand.

Faye turned her gaze onto Brian "Theres no denying that Brian"She ran a hand through her hair, she sighed.
"Do you want some help"She questioned pushing herself up from the steps, glad for the distraction.

He gave her a smile. "No, thank you. I got it." With both hands he lifted the bag back up and walked to the car. The trunk popped open and the bag was thrown inside. It obviously didn't contain anything fragile. Brian shot a glance past Faye, who had joined him at the car, back at the house. "I don't mean to say that you have to get back together with Ashton, just hear him out and give him a chance to be a friend if he wants to be one. Being undercover is easy as long as you're dealing with the bad guys but if there are nice people involved or even attractive women like you it's easy to loose your cool. What should he have done? Tell you and blow the investigation? Get a transfer and then tell you he's FBI? Leon would have told you to keep your hands of him immediately!"

Faye tilted her head "He could have told me that he was FBI when we first started talking jobs ok, at the beginging when we first met, he didnt know i was Leon's sister or had anything to do with you"She shook her head.
"But yea, when he found out, he should have done anything but continue lying to me, its not like you and Mia ok, you knew her from the get go, he had no idea"She let out a sigh.
"and i dont tend to do what my brother tells me, i tend to get int shit because of it"

"Agents don't tell anybody what they do or who they are. they mostly cut all ties to former friends. It's not all burps and giggles!" He sighed. "I don't know, Faye. It's up to you. Just trying to make you see the other side. personally I'm gald your with my brother now." He nodded towards the house and added. "Even though he's a jackass!"

"Have you ever questioned him asked him why hes the way he is, cus i gotta tell you Bri, the guy he was in there just now i dont see that guy often, theres a whole nother side to him," She gave him a brighter smile this time.
"Congrats on the engagment by the way Mia told me earlier"

Rome heard Brian struggling with the bags and almost ignored him like Jack seemed to, but he just couldn't do that... Brian was right, to a point... It wasn't his job that he had a problem with, not anymore.
"Brian..." he muttered, taking the bag from the blonde and nodding at Faye. "I... I'll help you take this shit out to the car." He didn't know how to apologize; he'd never really had to before, not in any real sense.

Brian looked at Fay a little puzzled. "I don't know. Maybe he acts differently around other people. But I know for a fact that he doesn't only fuck up when I'm around." He looked back at the house, then at Rome, who was standing near the car. "I've known Jack since he was a baby. he's always been like this. i know he can be a nice, relaxed, charming guy as well but we just push each other's buttons, I guess." Faye had given him something to think about though. Maybe Brian pushed Jack a little too much or maybe the other way round. "Why don't you ask him the same question, he seems to open up more to you than me."
Brian called over to Rome. "What do you say? Is Jack always this easy?"

After watching Rome go outside, Jack spent several more minutes in the kitchen, cursing Brian every which way for punching him like that, before he calmed down a little. As much as he hated to admit it, he had been wrong for making moves on Faye even before she found out Ashton was FBI, but he just hadn't been able to help himself anymore. She simply drew him in like no one else.
"Fuck!" He kicked back against the counter, before pushing himself away from it and making his way outside. Brian was still his brother and with the recent events, the stabbing and almost losing his brother for the second time, this shit just wasn't worth staying pissed over.
He leaned against the doorframe and crossed his arms over his chest. "You sure you wanna be driving home like that?" He mumbled, seeing the shape Brian was in.

Rome threw the bag in the back of the car.
"Man you know he always followed us around; maybe he learned from our stellar examples... Man we used to do some shit."

Brian pointed back at Rome. "No, bro. You used to do some shit, I just came along." he laughed at the memories of the stunts they had pulled when they were younger.
When he turned back towards Faye he spotted Jack in the doorframe of the house. Apparently he was done being pissed off. Brian would have put some money on Jack not showing his face anywhere near him for a couple of days but this seemed to be his way of trying to make up. Neither Jack nor Rome were good at saying sorry. neither was Brian.
Brian looked down, then back up at Jack. "I've driven in worse shape. Or are you offering your chauffeur services, Mr. Bloody Nose?" he teased. It was Brian's way of saying that he wasn't overly sour even though he was very dissapointed.

Jack raised an eyebrow at Brian's answer and shook his head, smirking at the 'nickname'. "And having to walk back? Not sure about that one, bro."
He turned his attention on Faye when she moved over to him and answered her kiss while he placed an arm around her. "I'm alright."
"And what was this about brothers?" He looked over at Brian. "You haven't been talking shit behind my back again, have you?" He smiled slightly, showing that he was just joking and not looking for a fight again.

"Always, man! But you know it. Me and Rome talk shit about you all the time!" He nudged Rome.
Brian was releived Jack didn't get back into fighting mode as he sometimes did. He just had too much fun at wrestling and boxing but Brian wasn't up for receiving anything at the moment.
He was a little sorry for punching him though. Not that he didn't deserve it. "I didn't break your nose, did I? Cause that would mean I have to apologize. Put some ice on your neck-stops the bleeding so you can take the paper towel out of your nostrils!Looks stupid." Brian couldn't help but have a little fun with it. "There's an ice-pack in the freezer."

Jack pulled the papertowel out of his nose and grinned. "Fuck you, bro. You hit like a pussy. You didn't break shit." He tossed the bloody mess at his brother and shook his head. "And it's that you're still recovering, otherwise I would have beaten your ass back."
He smirked at Faye's words and nodded while biting his lip. "Yeah, you sure will."

Faye smiled blushing ever so slightly, glad she hadnt actually gone into full blown panic attack, she headed inside and towards the kitchen, pulling out the ice pack for when Jack came back in.
