Bailey got a table. They were both too busy to be able to go to the restaurant together, but she didn't mind. She would've been too nervous in the car. She ordered a glass of wine to calm her nerves. |

Charlie hurried over from the hospital, after his shift had gone over a little. He hadn't had time to go home, but luckily he always had a change a clothes in his office. They had postponed this date long enough, he wouldn't let something by not having the right outfit delay it another minute. Walking into the restaurant the hostess greeted him, pointing to his table. He got to the table a smile on his face as he saw her. "Hey" |

Bailey smiled brightly at Charlie. "You look nice. How was work?" |

"Thanks," he gave a sheepish smile. "But not compared to you. You look beautiful." He pulled out a seat, sitting across from her. "Good. Was able to get out on the floor today, which is much better then being in the office all day." The waiter came by getting Charlie's drink order. "How about you? Still working on saving the world?" he asked with a smile. |

"Not really," Bailey laughed. "Oh, anything exciting?" She returned the smile. "Working being the key word." |

"You always look great Bailey. Whether you try to or not." "I don't know if exciting is the right word," he said with a chuckle. "I did get a few vampire victims. Of course they don't remember anything." "Well it's not exactly an easy task," Charlie smiled. |

"You're supposed to say that. We're on a date." Bailey's smile faded, "That's awful." "And yet you always make it sound like I'm doing this by myself. There's much more talented people involved." |

"I thought that before you agreed to go out with me, if that means anything." "Yeah," Charlie let out a heavy sigh. "There have been more and more attacks these last few months." He laughed, shaking his head. "I know, but it's okay to give yourself some of the credit." |

"Well, that's very sweet, thank you." She sighed," Blood banks aren't cutting it. Or we just have unruly vampires." She smiled again because of him. It was hard not to. "Only if you say so." |

"Whatever it is someone needs to stop it, before the bodies start piling up," Charlie shook his head. "Great first date talk, huh?" he laughed. |

"I know, personally, that Ava Grace is working on it, with us. We can't lock up all the vampires, it wouldn't be fair," Bailey was a little defensive, even though she knew he meant well. "Well, we're beyond the usual prattle." |

"I didn't mean to imply that no one was doing anything, or that there should be a genocide of vampires," Charlie tried to explain. "I just meant that whoever or whatever is responsible for these attacks needs to be held responsible." He gave a nod, "That we are." |

"Sorry, that was defensive." She nodded. "They do." "So, confession, I was really nervous about tonight. I haven't been on a date in so long." |

"That makes two of us," Charlie smiled widely, her confession putting him at ease. "I was so out of practice it took me forever to ask you out. I think I was just afraid you say no," he laughed. |

"Really?" Bailey laughed. "I was starting to second guess myself. Thinking you didn't like me like I thought you did." |
