"Jeez Dad, I know, besides I haven't done that in any house you were in since I was seventeen." He grumbled, loud enough for his father to hear. He smiled at his father's face, even after getting hit on the head with a pot holder. "Ilaijah!" His mother scolded him, mumbling a few threats in french, too low for Reeve to hear. He apologized to her, but not to his father, never to him. Bridget and Lily came into the kitchen to help, pushing all the men out into the living room to let them have 'guy time'. Mainly they could conversate with Nathan, along wit Paulie and Jacque throwing a stab at each other every now and then, but all in all, they're rude remarks were nothing more than brother's joking, and after awhile it became more noticable that the two did actually have something in common. "Well Reeve knows Japanese and he's picking up french quite nicely." Paulie bragged, holding his lover's hand warmly in his own.

Leaning over to Reeve, Nathan held the back of his hand up next to his mouth as though he was whispering a secret that no one knew. "Lily told me I had just better give up on knowin' French, even though it's supposed'ta be the language of looove." He nodded, he was more acceptable than Paulie's brother once he got used to you being there.
Jacque huffed keeping his arms crossed and tilting his nose up. "So, where's that going to get you in life?" He honestly didn't care but was secretly a bit surprised thinking to himself how Japanese is a rather difficult language to learn.

Reeve chuckled softly, leaning to whisper in Nathan's ear. "It's a rough one to learn, ne?" At Jacque's question, he smiled faintly, sitting up with his back ramrod straight, fingers curled gently around Paulie's. "With my degree, I plan to get a job teaching English in Japan soon. And translators are always needed." He shifted, arm going to lay across his lover's shoulder a little possessively... or protectively.

Paulie smiled leaning on Reeve, listening to the conversation. It was good to get away from things and introduce Reeve to his family, even though he was halfway expecting his father to say something...anything that would ruin it. He had a tendency of doing that. He leaned on him, resting his head on his shoulder, happy to have a calm vacation. He slipped his hand in his pocket, checking to make sure his phone was still there, a slight habit, when he fingers brush over the feeling of paper. It was strange, he didn't remember having any paper.
Pulling it out slightly and glancing over the note, he figured it was slipped in his pocket somewhere in the airport. 'When you get this Opal, meet me out in the back behind the tree. -Caesar.' Tch, he sould have known the agency wouldn't have let him leave without giving him some trouble. "I'll be right back." He said, standing up and giving Reeve an apology kiss for leaving him there. He walked through the kitchen, and out the back door. When asked, he pulled out a box of cigarettes mumbling. "..need a smoke." He made his way to the tree, meeting a fellow agent, ready to beat his ass for bothering him on his days off. He stuck a cigarette in his mouth lighting it and turning to find, not a fellow agent, but a box, wrapped in brown paper, a string around it keeping another paper note safely attached. This note read: 'Embassy's orders, Grey Nation is a trick, no traitors' "Fucking assholes, getting in my personal life." He grumbled opening the box; as he unwrapped the paper, it clicked. The Red lit numbers counting down. 2...1...0 The explosion crashes through the windows of the house. (OMG Plot twist! =D)

It was nothing close to silent as rubble fell to the ground and smoke made it's was up into the air, dark thick clouds at that. A rustle in the bushes behind the standing Blue Agent. Long blonde hair, much like Paulie's own, the man was maybe an inch or so taller and had a fuller mustach. "Ilaijah....Paulie." Came the darkened tone of the Blue Agents own father. "I'm sorry...." It was setup, and no he wasn;t all that sorry. "Your mother and I got a letter from your sister Lily and she was telling us of your new....lover." He used the term losely. "I did research on my own time and had to report in to the Ambassador. I didn't want this for you, this life style but it seems we /are/ much too alike." It was out there now, Ilaijah, the elderly one was also an agent for the same embassy at that. "I don't want you to forgive me, I don't expect it, the family is fine, I assure you." He said knowingly. He had bailed out of the house earlier that day, before their arrival, set everything up that night with the help of a few others and was able to slip out before everything happened. Probably not a better move, he should have stayed with them in there and been more so unexpected. He was strickly by the book, or so he gave off that impression. Secrets were secrets however.

Reeve hit the ground and instinctively curled himself into a ball when the explosion hit. Rubble crashed down around him, smoke thickening the air and ripping coughs from his throat. He lifted his head enough to look around, then called out, choking as he did. "Jacque?" Another hacking cough, voice rasping harshly. "Nathan?" The other two had still been in the room with him when the blast happened... he crawled forward, looking for them, mind reeling. "Can you two hear me?"

Paulie was still in shock about what happened. He wasn't hurt, thankfully he had thrown it just in time. It was some powerful shit, enough to knock half the house down, God, how was he supposed to explain this, but his mind was blank right now. He was....baffled that his father would actually do something like this, let alone, well one he was a SPY!! God, that was unexpected and he was..just, it wasn't possible, explosives and....kaboom and. "...W...what??" Was all that could escape his lips. So many questions jumbled up in his mind, mushing words into nothing. He couldn't...believe it.

Ilaijah stood there infront of him. "Paulie, I'm sorry, I am." Oh my fucking god, he was seriously concerned now. "We need to talk, in a more private area...." He felt that it was time that the two had a heart to heart talk that was probably more than needed to help clear things up. "Please?" He asked reaching out carefully as to not startle him, placing a hand on the other's forearm.
Jacque was coughing as he forced his body to move. He couldn't hear worth shit now, ears ringing and everything was spinning as he stood there on his hands and knees. Looking around he saw Reeve, shaking his head to try and get better focus on his sight he blinked. "W....what?" He asked, throat and chest burning as he started coughing more.
Nathan was silent for a while, then things started to clear up, he had blacked out or so he figured out. Coughing was the next thing to come, he tried to roll over onto his side like common sense would tell him to do but he couldn't and after struggling to do so panic set in. The more he tried to move the worse the pain that was coming from his leg got and the more he coughed. Ears blaring with a ringing and most sense being distorted he laid there expecting to die.

Reeve saw the form of Jacque through the smoke, his own ears ringing harshly. Crawling closer, he watched the other's lips form a question, and shook his head, making a hand motion as though asking where Nathan had been. A movement in the smoke caught his eye, and he went toward it on his stomach, sucking in the cooler air that lay closer to the ground.
Nathan lay on the ground, leg pinned under debris. He looked as though he was in more pain than the other two, and Reeve winced faintly. He beckoned to Jacque, pointing at Nathan. Between the two of them, they might be able to pull him free.

Paulie was still in shock, barley hearing what his father was saying. The touch on his arm seemed to bring him back down to earth and he jerked away, enstinctivly pulling out a gun and pointing it at him. "Non...." He wasn't sure what the hell he was doing, he couldn't even think straight, all that he wanted now was to make sure everything was okay. He shook his head slowly, taking a few steps back before putting the gun abck in his jacket and running towards the house. "Reeve! Jacque, Lily!!, ou...ou est'ce que vous!?" He managed to get into the house, or what was left of it, the sirens already blarring in the distance. "Reeve!?," He tripped over a few things before he made it to them, getting to Jacque first and pulling him into a hug, blabbering french, or what was supposed to be french to him, then he got hold of Reeve, pulling him into a hug and kiss as well.

Iliajah nodded. He knew what he had allowed to have happened was wrong, but in a sense it wasn't, right? He feld for the house to make sure his wife was okay and to pull her out of there before the police and firefighters arrived along with ambulances. He fled the sence after that, he had things to go sort through. What he knew was right, the embassy was right too though. He didn't know anymore.
Jacque hugged Paulie back, shaking his head no. He had no idea what was being said anyway, he couldn't hear. "Que?" He asked giving another harsh cough. Then he pointed to the ground.
Nathan laid there sure that he wasn't going to get out of this fully intact. He was worried though, more worried about Lily than anything, they were expecting something special and he wanted, no he felt he had to protect her and that unannounced special little thing until he was gone from the world. Things were getting darker as he kept getting more and more smoke into his lungs rather than oxygen and he was out again.

Reeve could only see Paulie's lips moving, coughing himself. "N-n...." he managed to choke, not being able to hear his words but pointing toward a pile of rubble that likely had been one of the kitchen walls. "Na-th..." gasping. "Nathan. Got to get Nathan and Lily..." he crushed Paulie to his chest in a hard hug, then pulled him down to the ground and taking a breath. Swearing softly, he rubbed at burning eyes, scanning the area. "What...happened?"

Paulie was choking himself, getting every little part of each message, then he was greatful to get some air thanks to Reeve. He listened intently, expecting the question but he didn't know the answer. 'That bastard of a father.' That was what he wanted to say...but he didn't want to. "It....It was a Blue Nation bomb, I brought it with me just in case and I guess it got activated, I don't know how but, we have to get the others taken care of."
The fire department, along with the police and ambulances arrived moments later, pulling everyone out and taking Nathan away on a stretchure. Paulie lied to the police saying the gas stove was turned on and they didn't notice the gas until he had lit his cigarette and it was too late. He lied to the embassy saying it was a Bomb that was carelessly handled. Oh he would hear from the embassador about this one.

No, that wasn't true, the embassy didn't need to be lied to, they did want to take Paulie in for questioning. Explainations would come later for him, there was already someone that was going to take that job. Jacque had pushed everything out of his mind and went to aid Bridget, lucky for him she had been out of the explosion. Neighbors were worried and were all piling out to make sure everyone was okay.

Reeve shivered, wrapped in a blanket provided by the EMTs and coughing still. Minor smoke inhalation, a few scrapes... nothing serious was wrong, he was just cold and shaken up by what had happened. But then again, what rookie ever really expected something like this? As Paulie came by, Reeve pulled him close, holding him tight. "You didn't have a bomb with you. Did you." Grey eyes, reddened by the smoke, scrutinized the blond's face. "Someone tried to kill us. You, me, your family..."
