Michael snorted softly, nodding good-naturedly. "Better than roses." he agreed with a lopsided grin as they started back towards the room.
At Lincoln's remark, he sobered. "Well...that's one of the reasons I was bringing this up, Linc. We have a day or so before we get to that point of no return...but when we get there..."
He trailed off, sighing heavily. "I made arrangements for two of us...but I prepared for contingencies. If Abruzzi demanded more, if I had to bring another party on for any reason...bottom line is that I'm prepared to work around extra baggage, so to speak. But if I do...there's no running, Lincoln. If Kate goes with us, she's going to be stuck with us...with you for a while, and there's not going to be an out. We *can* risk it...if you think she'll go for it." He paused, leveling his gaze at Lincoln. "If you think you want her to stay that badly."
