"They always keep them so high up don't they?" Kyle asked, a wide grin on his face, "Not at all fair if you ask me.."
He began to whistle a cheery tune as they walked towards the bathroom. Sure, he really should have been researching in the lab, but he always got so caught up in his games with Callie.
If he ever had a daughter, he would have liked to think she'd be like that. At least he hoped she would be.
He plopped her down on the counter top and opened the cabinet.
"Ok.....We got Ponies.....Butterflies.....aaaaaand Plain Ol' Band-aids..." He raised his eyebrow and looked over at Callie, "Whattaya think?"

She nodded seriously. She liked Kyle, he understood her.
"I can't even climb up to reach them." she said mock-grumpily "I did try though...I just ended up needing them 'cos I fell." she confided with a long-suffering sigh.
She pursed her lips thoughtfully "Ponies." she decided after a moment, "No....butterflies." she changed her mind, then nodded "Yes, butterflies."

"Well luckily, you have me to get them down for you huh?" Kyle replied, as he plucked a vibrantly colored butterfly bandage from the container. He also took down a tube of disinfectant gel.
"Ok, this goo goes on first, to help it heal faster, then you get...." He glanced at the bandage "I think it's a Crimson Rose Butterfly...it's been awhile since I studied insects.."
Ecology was a hobby of Kyle's, something his dreams had made terribly ironic.
"Gimme your paw cub." Kyle stated, "Then we're gonna clean up that mess."

"Ok." she nodded happily, grinning when he identified the butterfly and leaning over to look herself "You can tell what type it is?" She asked, impressed "Cool."
She held out her hand for him to clean up, nodding in agreement "Yep, before anyone else sees it!" She added seriously "Top secret mission." she stated, grinning.

Kyle smiled broadly as he cleaned the cut with the gel. She was such a doll.
"Yes... a secret mission..." He chuckled as he applied the bandage, "We'll be Secret Agents ok?"
He smoothed out the wrinkles in the adhesive strips and nodded as if to admire his handiwork, "Looks good right?"
Then his voice took on a mysterious tone; "Special Agent Callie, our mission is top secret. Operation Clean Up the Kitchen is now in session...."
"Let's move out!"

She nodded eagerly, "Yep, looks great." She agreed, admiring the brightly coloured plaster on her hand.
She managed to at least pretend to look serious, straightening up and trying to look like a soldier...well, like what little she'd seen of soldiers in her story books, nodding and saluting him "yessir" she announced.

They had to move fast if they were to clean the mess before anyone else came upon it, and Kyle knew this.
"Wait here, I'll grab the supplies so we can complete our mission..." He whispered to Callie, "If I'm not back in five minutes....wait longer"
He gathered up the dust pan and broom from the hall closet, and quietly moved back over to Callie. He held the dust pan out for her to take from him.
"Ok, you hold the pan while I sweep," He said, taking a few rapid glances back and forth like he was 'on the lookout', "But watch where you put your hands, I don't want you to get another cut."
He nimbly leaped over the bowl shards and began to sweep them into a pile, making extra sure that even the littlest pieces were gathered in one place.
"Ready?"

Giggling, though trying desperately hard to stay looking serious and not 'blow their cover', Callie takes the dust pan and nods enthusiastically.
"Kay." she agrees, holding the pan carefully as she crouches down, copying his sneaky glances from side to side as she holds the pan down on the floor by the pile "Ready!" she announces.

Kyle carefully swept the shards into the dust pan, making certain not to brush the sharp edges against her skin.
Although his hyper sensitive hearing would have easily picked up the sound of moving footsteps, he decided to continue their game:
"Almost got it all.....is the coast still clear?" He whispered, "Our cover isn't blown is it?"

Callie was being very cautious about the sharp edges - even though Kyle was taking care to make sure she didn't recieve another cut, being extra careful herself was all part of the game as far as she was concerned.
She looked around 'sneakily' "Nope." she whispered back "We're all clear, but we best be quick!" she finished dramatically, voice rising from a whisper a little, because sometimes, in a game, you forgot these things.

As the last of the glass made it into the pan, Kyle raised his finger to his lips and playfully shushed her.
He winked and grinned as he took the glass filled dust pan from her and dumped it's contents into the trash, then removing the bag from the can with the utmost care.
"Good work Callie..." Kyle said warmly, "Be more careful next time, or I'll start to think you're breaking things just to play with me..."
Which she totally didn't need to do, because when Kyle wasn't working he was basically bored out of his mind. Or worse, thinking he was plain ol' out of his mind.
"And of course, if you want to play with me, all you have to do is ask..." He added as he tied the drawstring up, "I mean, as long as I'm not working, of course..."
"Sound good to you?"

Callie giggled, it had, of course, been a total accident, but his teasing made her feel better about it.
"Kay, it's a deal." she agreed seriously, nodding quickly "But you can't work lots just to avoid playing with me, kay?" she added, grinning mischievously.
((ack, short, sorry))

"I promise, in fact...." Kyle said, kneeling down to her level, "I pinkie promise not to."
He held out the aforementioned finger and smiled.
"And this includes playing Secret Agent, or any other games you want to play, I will not hide out in the lab."
Like he would anyways, this had been fun.

Callie linked her pinkie with his with great solemnity, nodding gravely "Good, and you best keep it."
She grinned "If you do, I'll have to come find you..." she told him seriously - though her lips twitched with a surpressed smile "and then I might break things, and there'll be all sorts of trouble. So you best not hide there."

"Good, and you best keep it."
"If you do, I'll have to come find you...and then I might break things, and there'll be all sorts of trouble. So you best not hide there."
"As long as you don't break any of my things, ok" Kyle said laughing, "Or anything in the lab that could get me fired, I kind of like it around here..."
He hefted the bag up, he had to dispose of the evidence.
"Well, I've got some studying to do, can I trust you and Mr. Fuzzy to be play carefully until I'm finished?"
