Jeremy smiled. "We are. If we followed the rules, D wouldn't have gone out tonight."

D shrugged with a sly grin.

"Okay, I'm sure you two have some debriefing to do, and want to get to bed. I'm going to head out." Beau stood.

"What the fuck?" D shook his head. "I said we have plenty of space. Why pay for a hotel room and deal with all that bullshit when you can stay with us?"

Beau shrugged. "I figured I'd be in the way."

"You're family, Beau. You're not in the way. There's rooms here or we can head to my house, but I insist you're not sleeping in some hotel tonight." D stood.

"Okay, then let me grab my bag and you can show me where to sleep."

Jeremy tossed his beer bottle in the trash. "Need help with anything?"

"Nah, I packed light. I will be quiet when I leave in the morning. My conference starts at nine. I'm meeting Rani for dinner at six, then will call you guys if he wants to meet. You sure you don't mind me here for a few days?" Beau asked.

Jeremy glanced at D. "From what you've said, having a doctor around might be a good thing. Seriously, you are more than welcome. I look forward to getting to know D's old team. We're glad you're here."

D stood beside Jeremy, hooking an arm around his shoulders. "Just don't go telling Jer all my secrets. I'm trying to leave the old me behind." He winked. "Go get your shit. I'll show you to your room, then I need a shower."

Jeremy leaned into D, enjoying the casual affection. He wanted to ask to join him in the shower, but after what he'd been doing earlier in the night, and with Beau here now, sex was probably the last thing D was thinking about. Gently pulling away, he grabbed the police scanner and headed back to the computer room. He had a few more things to check on before he finally headed to bed too.
