"Wouldn't hold my breath... but if there's anywhere in the world where miracles can happen, it's here," said Eight as he leaned into Seven.

"Just remember, even if you have to give up Kurt, I still love you," said Seven.

Randy VIII nuzzled his arm and bit it lightly, this time in a gesture of fondness and appreciation. I love you, too.

Seven leaned over and kissed his head, "I think I'm gonna sleep now, my painkillers are wearing off....my poor arm turned all black and it burns somethin' fierce and is full of puss, don't wanna be awake when the doctors peel the bandage off and clean it." said Seven.

Randy VIII smiled a bit. "Yeah, it'll do that," he said almost affectionately.

"It's terrible, never felt anything so awful in my life!" said Seven.

"I know," Randy VIII purred. "It's great!"

"Baby Boy, you are weird," said Seven.

This time, Eight laughed aloud. "Maybe." He gave Seven a kiss. "Sleep well," he cooed.

Seven grinned and closed his eyes, "Night Baby Boy,"

As planned, Randy VIII kept an even closer watch on Kurt than he had been, though he remained as much at a distance as possible. His intention was not to smother Kurt with his presence, but to ensure that the incident with Seven was not repeated in any fashion--which included the possibility of Kurt catching Randy VIII by surprise. And of course, he still desired to be a part of Kurt's life, and thus even with all his spying he could not resist the occasional visit. He knew better than to let himself be caught and he was confident that he could withstand brief confrontations with little to no real damage--as could Kurt. Though Randy VIII wasn't actually hunting for fights, they were never really unwelcome and, given the situation, somewhat difficult to avoid so long as he remained close by.

Kurt did his best to live his life normally, trying not to think of Randy VIII but it seemed that encounters were inevitable and when Randy VIII did come near him Kurt did his best to chase him away. He spent a lot of time looking over his shoulder, it wasn't a good feeling, but it was an all to familiar one. He felt hunted again but this time he was determined not to run, he had a real life and a home now, he wasn't going to leave it just to get away from Randy VIII, so he did his best to keep his enemy at bay, as he had done countless times in the past....

Unfortunately for him, even Randy VIII's usual day-to-day activities sometimes brought them together. Being an exterminator and arguably the best in Kenny for that matter, Randy VIII had jobs to do all over town at various times of day.

It so happened that one of those jobs was at the police station right when Kurt was on his office shift....

Randy entered the building in his jumpsuit with his case of kill-a-ma-jigs and his poison as usual. He knew Kurt would be there, but a job was a job.

Kurt did his best to ignore Randy, but station policy dictated that civilians were not permitted to wander the station without escort and Kurt was given the task of leading Randy around the building....
