Unassigned: Italy - Episode 10: Unconditional Love

Abby sits inside the cell, Brad sits beside her, both are chained to the wall now.

"Well, isn't this a fun little vacation?" Brad says in a cheery voice.

Abby looks over at him...

"Sorry..."

"This is nothing how I wanted it"

"I know what you mean."

"No, Brad...you don't know what I mean."

Brad listens.

"I've been with Jon for almost a year now, and that year's been the best year of my life...I told him I wanted to take a vacation, just the two of us; to get away from all the work, the crime. Plus, he is going to ask to marry me soon."

Brad's look up in surprise, "You know about that?"

"Yeah...I found the ring when I was packing, he really should watch what he's doing."

In New York, about a week ago, Jon is in his bedroom packing all of his clothes, he throws a ton of shirts, pants, shorts, underwear and socks in the suitcase.

"Done packing, Abby!"

He walks into the bathroom to get all his toiletries.

Abby walks in and sees the pile of clothes in the suitcase..."Oh, Jon."

She walks over to go through the clothes, and she stumbles upon a ring box. Her eye catches it. Part of her wants to let it go, she already knew what it was. Why look at it?

But another part of her wanted to see inside, and see the sparkle in the diamond.

She throws the clothes back over it to hide it.

"Jon, how do you expect to survive like this?"

"What are you talking about?"

He throws toothbrush, toothpaste, and cologne inside as well.

Abby just laughs as she walks away, secretly giggling in joy of what she saw.

"Does he really pack that bad?"

"Yep, I'm sure you don't do any better."

"Are you kidding? I put my toiletries...in a bag!"

"It's a start."

"So Abby, I know your gonna get on to me for asking this, but..."

Abby looks at him.

"Why do you hate me so much?"

Abby sighs.

"Brad, I don't hate you."

"Um, Abb, ever since we broke up, you have shunned me, yelled at me, or ignored me."

"Yeah, but...it's because I don't..."

"Why are you so afraid?"

"What?"

"Why are you afraid to tell Jon that we used to go out?"

"Oh, he knows we used to go out."

"Then what is your problem?"

"He doesn't know we were married."

"Why haven't you told him?"

"It was so short, I wondered if it even counted."

"Yes, it counts, Abby."

"One-week marriages count?"

"It may have only been one week...but it was the best week of my life."

"Not mine..."

"Why did you end it so quickly?"

"You were gone the whole week on your job...We didn't even get to go on the honeymoon...then you traveled away on those dangerous stunts, you were never there."

"Abby, I called you like all the time, the stunts were just entertainment until I could track down, or until the boss got info on what I needed to do...besides who could pass up the Grand Canyon."

"Well, I couldn't take it..."

"Why didn't you tell me when we were dating?"

"I thought you'd be different."

"It the same as Jon though, he's going to go away on missions and assignments."

"But he's there for me...or at least I thought.

"Thought?"

"He wanted to stop Nick."

"You've obviously seen how dangerous and evil this guy is...can you blame him?"

"No, in a way...I don't know if I'm being selfish, but I wanted this time to be ours, and I knew this job would take up everything we could do together"

"That's not selfish, that's just wanted to be close to the one you love."

"I have been with him one day, I think."

"I'm sorry."

"Actually, this is more of a 'you-guys' vacation more than mine."

"I can't tell you how many gay comments we've gotten for being together."

"Eh, you make a cute couple..."

Brad laughs a little, it's not loud.

"So you don't hate me?"

"Brad...I've never hated you...I just acted it to hide my true feelings for you."

"You still love me..."

Abby gets up from her seat and walks to face the wall.

"I remember the day when I found out you were going to reenter my life again."

Inside the NYSO (New York Secret Organization) building, Jon sits down on a bench, beside him is Abby, they look a little bit younger.

"You're so beautiful, Abb."

Abby smiles, "So, they're giving you a new partner?"

"Yeah, since Shawn...is gone..."

Jon starts to get emotional.
"They said that I need someone to watch my back in the battlefield."

"Who is it?"

"Some kid named, Brad."

"Brad Davis?"

"Yeah, you know him?"

"We were m...used to go out."

Jon laughs..."Gotta love a good taste of irony."

"Yeah..."

Brad goes over in his mind..."You didn't answer my question."

He walks over to Abby as much as he can, he puts his hand on her shoulder, and she turns around.

"Do you still love me?"

Abby stares at him, and Brad stares back...they lean in closer, and soon, they kiss.

They kissed for seconds...

Abby soon pulls away...

"I'm sorry, Abb."

"No, no, it was me..."

Brad sits back down on the bench.

There was an awkward pause between the two for the rest of the night.

At Coney Island, Brad and Abby are riding the Ferris wheel. They get to the top, and it stops, as they load people off on the bottom.

"Perfect."

"It is, Brad, it really is."

Brad turns to Abby, "You are too, Abby, perfect in my eyes at least."

"Nobody's perfect, Brad."

"I know, but I thought it was a good complement."

Abby laughs...

They look at each other, and kiss.

That was out first date...our first kiss...the first time I fell in love with somebody...I knew Abby for a long time, one date was all I needed...It was the best date I've had too, I just can't believe we have to keep this secret...and now have too, lucky for her, I haven't said anything about it yet.
