Memories
Part FIVE/FIVE
Category: kinda angst, but it gets into allot of action and HR, not 
between Jonny, Jessie, or Hadji, so all of you DBN’s out there will like 
it.
Archievers: Let me know where it is! ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own the Quest team and am making no money off this. 
I don’t own Paige, ‘cause she's my niece. 

PART 5
The woman shook of the pain and was now leaning on Dr. Quest's desk for 
support. "That was Roger Bannon wasn't it?" she asked Benton.

He nodded, "Yes, it was."

"Well, I suppose I should introduce myself, I'm Paige Waterson. I work 
for the CIA. That's where I met 'Race'."

"So there was something between you?" Jonny asked. Dr. Quest gave him a 
sharp glare. 

Paige smiled and nodded, "Ya, you could say that, until he left for work 
one day and didn't come back. At that time I was out of the CIA and he 
was working on a TOP secret case, so I wasn't surprised when not even an 
operative came to the door and to tell me he was dead. I figured out he 
wasn't coming back after about a month. I know what your probably 
thinking, 'Why didn't she look him up when she got back into the CIA?" 
she said smiling, "to tell you the truth, I never thought of doing that, 
I just took it for granted."

Just then, Jessie walked in. "HI! She said cheerfully.  

Jonny and Benton looked at her funny. 

"So, you're his kid." Paige said softly, "You look allot like him."

"Thanks." Jessie said.

"So how is he?" Paige asked, "I hope he teases and torments you as much 
as he did me."

Jessie gave a big nod, "Oh ya, he NEVER lets up. His philosophy is, the 
more the better."

Paige agreed and the four started telling stories to each other. 

Race walked up to the open door just as they all started to crack up. He 
had heard just a bit of what they were saying as he walked up. Jessie 
was telling Paige about the time he had gone and hid all her clothes 
while she was on a shopping trip. "Ya, you should have seen her face 
when she opened up her closet." Race said quietly. 

Everyone stopped laughing and looked at Race. His eyes were locked on 
Paige. The two just stood there for a few moments. Benton, Jonny and 
Jessie looked back and forth between them, not knowing what would 
happen. 

"Could you guys leave give us some privacy please?" Race asked his 
family. 

Jonny was the first one out, followed by Benton. As Jessie was leaving 
she gave her dad's hand a squeeze.

"Hay Jess, was it my imagination, or were you supporting your dad back 
there?" Jonny asked. 

"Nope. It wasn't you." Jessie replied.

Jonny looked at her a little funny. He knew she was always a little 
jealous when he dad got involved with someone. "Can I ask why?"

Jessie smiled. "Jonny, you've noticed how my dad hasn't been sleeping 
well lately, haven't you?" she asked back.

Jonny thought about it for a second, then said, "No."

Jessie shook her head. "Jonny, you wouldn't notice a Mac truck coming 
toward you. No. He hasn't been sleeping well, in fact, he's been afraid 
to sleep. See, after he got over my mother, he started to have dreams."

"So, everyone has dreams."

"Ya, but these were about the only woman he had truly loved. Anyway, 
lately, it's gotten worse. Last week when you and Dr. Quest went to 
Bangalore, he was screaming out names and stuff in his sleep. He 
wouldn't wake up until I screamed his name. Then when I tried to get him 
to talk, he wouldn't. But as soon as I saw what he did when he first saw 
her, I knew who she was. He had called to her in his dreams. That's why 
I went after him."

Jonny stopped at the kitchen door and looked at her. "Wow, but still, 
you're acting weird."

Jessie shook her head and smiled, "I don't know, it just seems like the 
right thing to do."
	
"Well, even so, we were just shoot at in case you forgot. I think your 
dad is too preoccupied to investigate. So, ya wanna come help me?" Jonny 
proposed. 
	
Jessie just smiled and followed him; she never needed to answer a 
question like that.

Back in the light house, Race and Paige were still in the same 
positions.
	
"You came back this time." Paige said.
	
"I couldn't come back last time." Race answered.
	
"I don't believe it."
	
"I didn't have choice, if I had come back, it would have gotten us both 
killed."
	
Paige's face got dark. "I should kill you, Bannon. After what you did to 
me. You have no idea what happened after you left me."
	
"Ya, well, you have no idea how much it hurt." He shot back at her.
	
"Well, it obviously didn't hurt too much! You have a daughter!" she 
yelled.
	
"Don't bring her into this." Race said through clenched teeth.
	
"Well, why the hell not! 20 years ago we loved each other. Then you just 
up and leave! Then you go find someone else obviously and I suppose 
marry her! All the while I'm left thinking your dead, gone. Having to 
depend on Corven!" by this time, she was almost screaming at him.
	
Race stood straight and tight, his hands clenched into fists. His 
knuckles white with fury. Then, as suddenly as the fight began, it 
ended. Race relaxed, his shoulders slumped. "I'm so sorry, but if I 
hadn't left, I was sure you would die. That's all I was worrying about." 
He said, almost pleading.
	
"It…it's okay. I know how the system works. I should know better." Paige 
quietly said. She looked exhausted and trampled on. 
	
Race quietly walked over to her and saw there were tears in her eyes. He 
slowly drew her against him and whispered, "I'm so sorry. I'll never 
leave you again… I love you." As a tears started to roll down his cheek.
	
"I love you too." Paige whispered back.
