Beck pulled his car into one of the visitor bays out the front of a glass and chrome office building. By his estimation it was about ten stories high. Ash’s LA counterpart had found some impressive digs to work out of, without his help after all. The good thing was, it wasn’t far from the studio so he hadn’t had to battle LA traffic for hours to get there. At the best, this meeting should take about an hour to an hour and half, so he’d only be away from Sam for about three hours.

As he’d suspected, the drive in had been tense and Sam had only answered him with one syllable words. After a while he’d given up trying to make conversation. But at least he’d gotten her agreement that while he was away from set she wouldn’t go anywhere. Not that she could anyway, they were filming some intense scenes with her character and the aftermath of her rescue.

If he was honest with himself, he was glad he wasn’t there to watch the filming. What little he’d seen that morning had punched him in the gut. Was this how all the victims they rescued felt? Did they go through all the pain and suffering that Sam’s character was?

While he’d been active duty, he hadn’t allowed himself to think too much about the victims they’d rescued. If he had, he probably wouldn’t have been able to keep going. He’d learned to compartmentalize so many things in his life.

Beck opened the door and stepped out, took a deep breath and grimaced. The air in LA was smog filled and unpleasant to breathe in. He missed the fresh sea salt smell of the base. Waking up each morning to that scent had made him feel alive. Perhaps Fort was right, he did need the beach to feel alive.

He batted that thought away, there were beaches on the east coast. He’d find them and make weekend trips once a month to fill his beach well. Life was nothing if a series of adventures and adjustments. Adjusting to the East Coast would be another notch in his life adventures.

Enough, he commanded himself. The most important thing was the here and now, which meant this meeting. Climbing the steps he entered the building and walked over to the elevators. Ash had told him the new offices for Alliez Security was on the second floor. The elevator arrived and he used the short trip to the floor to check his phone for messages. There weren’t any from the studio so he could relax a fraction that everything was fine with Sam.

As he exited on the second, floor he scanned the area, noting where the stairwells were located, smiling when he saw that the office he was about to enter was situated close to one of the exits. Made sense, if they needed to get out quickly they could, without having to wait for an elevator. There was no way Ash would’ve allowed Ox to take an office on a higher floor.
