The 'plopping' sound of the ball echoed around the games room. "Yesss!" came Alan's voice as he pocketed another one. He and Brandon had been playing pool to pass the time while the team was on the rescue.

The intercom buzzed. "Yes Father?"

"Alan, Brandon, just wanted to let you both know the team are on their way home."

"Thanks Dad. Brandon and I will be up shortly."

"Okay, Alan."

The intercom clicked off and the room became silent again. Brandon walked around the pool table, carefully weighing his options and then leaned across to take his shot. Alan stood on the otherside, chin resting on top of his cue stick.

"Brandon? Looks like I'm gonna to whip your butt!"

Brandon looked up at him as he prepared to take another shot. "Says who?"

Alan laughed and they continued the game.

"Is it always like this? The waiting I mean," Brandon suddenly asked.

"Depends. If it's a bad rescue, the waiting can be torture. If it's a routine run, then it's not so bad," Alan replied.

Brandon looked at Alan, raising an eyebrow. "A routine run?"

"You know, a straight run through rescue, no lives lost, everyone safe."

Brandon nodded his understanding. "So how often do you get left behind?"

"Not too often, except when I'm on rotation in TB5. Gordon and I take turns, but if it's a water rescue then he definately goes, and sometimes we double crew on Two with Virgil."

"I suppose we'll all have to take turns at being 'home alone' then!" Brandon said with a chuckle and a smile.

They finished the game and were putting the cues and balls away when Brandon caught Alan off guard with a personal question.
"I guess this rescue business doesn't leave much time for a personal life. Kinda cramps things a bit doesn't it?"

"Well, I er... I guess it does." Alan looked sheepishly at Brandon.

"Didn't you and Tin-Tin have a relationship at one time?" Brandon didn't beat about the bush, asking Alan outright.

Alan's hackles went up and he became a little defensive. "What's that got to do with anything? I've known Tin-Tin since we were kids, and besides, it just wouldn't have worked."

Alan wasn't sure how Brandon knew about him and Tin-Tin, but he didn't like it. Their relationship had cooled, but Alan was still quite protective of Tin-Tin.

"I guess personal relationships are best kept off the island then? I'll have to remember that!"

Alan merely looked at him. "We'd better get up to the lounge, they'll be home soon and you'll want to sit in on the debriefing."

"Lead the way," replied Brandon, indicating with his hand for Alan to lead and making a mental note to mention 'island relationships' to Christopher.
