The drive to Jason's seemed to be a waste of time when Alice arrived. There were no signs of life when she turned in the driveway, but his car was parked in the garage with the door open. Upon a closer look as she parked, the side door window was open with the curtains closed, something no one would do unless inviting a break in.

Alice frowns as she notices that the window is open. She didn't think this was something Jason would normally do, unless he really wasn't thinking straight. Getting out of the car, she cautiously approaches the house, looking around for any sign of intruders making sure her cell phone is in her pocket.

From inside, Alice could hear someone moving around, and then Jason crossed the hallway, sputtering to himself. Alice's accessment was right, his head clearly wasn't screwed on at the moment.
Her phone was in her pocket, and there was no one else around.

Alice moves forward cautiously and calls out Jason's name.

Jason's head spun towards the door as he clossed the hall again, dropping his shaving kit and spilling it everywheres. " Dammit.... Alice? what the heck are you doing here? Come to give me one last blasting for old time's sake?"

Alice shakes her head at him. "No." she says in a really quiet, emotionless tone of voice. "I'm tired of fighting. I don't want to fight with you." She starts to help pick up the mess as she says "I just didn't want you leaving with any wrong ideas." Before he can say anything, she adds "I didn't dump you. When I said 'I'm sick of this' I meant I was sick of all the constant fighting. I love you and I want to be with you, but I want to find a way to do that without us screaming hurtful things at each other every other day. Because that hurts me a lot. I'm not saying it's all your fault, it takes two to fight. I just want to be together without fighting all the time."

Jason stops in the middle of retreiving his razor and slumped to sit on the floor. " I..., I thought...," he stammered then cleared his throat," I thought you were just sick of me. Oh cripes I've made a mess out of things again." He pulled his knees close enough to rest his elbows on them as he clasped the sides of his head. " Allie, I want to stay with you, but I've already told Mac I'd transfer up to headquarters. I don't know if he'll let me back out now." He looked up at her with welled eyes.

Alice sits beside him and hugs him gently. "We'll figure something out." she says in a soft voice. "You can ask Mac if you can stay, and if he says no, then we'll go from there and find a solution." Kissing him on the forehead, she says "We'll figure something out together."

Jas shook his head. " No way. I'm not dragging you into Mac's world. Besides, the others need their bosslady." Even upset, he forced a bit of a smirk as he got himself back to his feet awkwardly. His facial expressions betrayed he was in worse shape than Kristian had told her.

Alice bites her tongue to keep from snapping at Jason again. "So then what? You're just going to leave me? We're not even going to try to work something out?" Alice is careful to keep her tone of voice neutral and not sound like she is accusing him of anything, though she can't help sounding upset at the same time.
When she sees Jason get up awkwardly, she says softly, "You are worse off than you and Kristian claimed. Why would you say you were ok when you're not?"

" I'm okay, Alice. Really." Jason tried to convince her. " Just a few bumps and bruises. Do you think I wanted to leave? You 've been in my head and seen what I used to be like. I don't want to go back to that, but when you stormed out, I didn't see many alternatives because I thought that was it. Did yoo think this is how I wanted things to go?" He got a slight smirk," Other than the two of us alone?"

Alice shakes her head. "There's always another choice, Jason, if you look for one hard enough." "Well, what do you propose we do? When I said we'd figure something out, I didn't mean I'd work for Mac too. I don't think I'd be able to do that kind of work, even if I wanted to." Alice sighs "I don't know what you want, honestly. You confuse me a lot."

" Not on purpose." Jason replied, " I'm not sure I could do it anymore either. Look, I just want to make you happy, but I'm not sure I know how to do it, and in case you haven't noticed, I'll screw up alot when I try." He leaned in close to kiss her, but a booming voice outside stopped him...
" Jason Dexter, we know you're in there. Come out..." The megaphoned voice pause behind an insidious laugh," I can't do this..." the voice changed to something unforgettable," Dexter, get out here now!"
" Wraith?" Jason looked at Alice." But he's dead? Will got rid of him?"

Alice whirls around at the sound of Wraith's voice, scared. "I told everyone at the meeting," she reminds him "Wraith is working for the mayor now." Looking nervous, she asks "What do we do? Do you think we can sneak out of here somehow?"

Jason shook his head. " I must have missed that part. You can sneak out of hear no problem. on the other hand, looks like I'm in for a scrap. And there's no way he's here by himself. change the way you look and ditch the jacket, mebbe we can convince him you're no one important."
