Derek Levine

Derek Levine. Remember my name, you'll be screaming it later. I'm the guy you call when you need to get the job done. You don't need to like me but you will respect me.

“Okay so this is a first time for both of us. I promise we can take it slow.” He said jokingly. He placed the chicken on the cutting board and grabbed a knife. “That makes sense. No samonella and some salt. At least we won’t starve. Maybe the second time for us might be better. We will add cooking to our training sessions.” He smirked as he began to cut up the chicken. “I guess if we were married or something we’d be the couple with a private chef because we can’t cook.”

She couldn’t help but blush at his words and looked away quickly. “I think if we were married, we would totally kill each other before we had time to hire a private chef,” she laughed, chopping up vegetables and then turning to him. “But I didn’t take you for the marrying sort of person -does that mean you choose me?” She joked. “This whole time, these training sessions where just some way to sneak in a marriage proposal?”

“Hmm maybe you’re right about that but we’d have a lot of hot sex before we got to that part.” He playfully nudged her with his arm. “I’m sorry but you know it’s true.” He put the chicken pieces into the stove and pushed it around with a spoon. “It would definitely take someone special but I don’t think it would be the worst thing. Think about the tax benefits.” He said jokingly. “Damn my master plan has been revealed. Now you’ll never say yes. It’s so sad.”

“Look, cooking isn’t my specialty but we’re snowed in and I’m getting hungry. I’m sure you are too so how do you cook chicken?”

“Oh,” she nodded. “That makes sense, but I’m warning you now, I’m terrible at cooking so this is only for sustenance, not taste. So no making fun of me.” She smiled. “I think chicken has to be cooked all the way through otherwise you could get salmonella. And you know, use salt?”

I still don’t know if it was a blessing or a curse to be sent on a work trip during the holiday season but I’m back now. You can call off the search party. What did I miss? Honestly I’m surprised this town didn’t burn down while I was gone. 

[bradshawelizabeth]

Liz laughed slightly before her expression changed. “Oh, my god, you’re serious. You need my help? Me? You must be really desperate to come to me.”

“I won’t accidentally shoot myself. On the other hand I might accidentally shoot you, so better be careful,” she said and touched his shoulder playfully. Flora followed him to the shooting range. “And I’m hoping Mr Bradshaw will let me back on the team if I can protect myself. I never got a chance to show I could be a good agent because everything.. went wrong.” She blinked her eyes as she didn’t want to start crying. “I trust you with my life, Derek.” She slowly stood up from her wheelchair, a little wobbly at first, but she gave Derek a grin when she stood stable on her two feet and was able to start shooting with him. “Agent Flora is back in town.”

“Let’s not shoot Derek. I need to keep this town safe.” He shook his head at Flora’s comment. He needed to make sure that she knew what she was doing so that she could protect herself and eventually she could protect others too. “He will give you another chance because he knows that he is partly to blame for what happened. Let’s make sure that shit never happens again, Flora. I’d hate to... see anything bad happen to you again.” Derek was still very bitter about the warehouse explosion and how it hurt people he cared about. “Good cause you know I won’t let you die.” He watched proudly as she got out of the wheelchair and took aim at the target. “Yeah she sure is. It’s about damn time, Allen.”

To be fair, no rational human being can get used to that crap. Did someone do something to you in particular?

Glad to know I’m not crazy in feeling this way.  Um, my boyfri– I mean, my ex is just not the same person he used to be.

[agent-derek-levine]

Wait...Is your ex Harry? Cause if it is you're not the only one who thinks that.

“I can be careful. … Oh, oops,” she said when Derek mentioned the safety was off and she hadn’t seen it yet. “Hey!” She pouted when he took the gun from her. “You gotta remember one day that I’m not a little girl anymore.” But she was still happy and surprised Derek was willing to take her to the shooting range. “I thought since I can’t run fast anymore I might just train to become great at shooting from a distance.”

“I know you’re not a little girl anymore and I’m going to train you to be a good agent but I can’t do that if you accidentally shoot yourself.” He said teasingly. Derek nodded as they walked to the shooting range. “That’s not a bad idea. I want you to be able to protect yourself, Flora. Do you trust me to help you?”

“I’m the last person you want to stand up? What does that mean?” She asked, confused and slightly blushing. Thank goodness it was dark, or he would see the flush spreading across her cheek. “That’s good because I was ready for a training session, I have been psyching myself up for it all morning, so I have heaps of adrenaline rushing through my body,” she punched him lightly in the shoulder. “Sapphire’s going to stay with him? But…why?” She blurted out. “And how do you…feel about that?”

“Uh cause... you’re Liz.” He knew that was a stupid answer but he couldn’t exactly tell her that he was finding himself more and more attracted to her with each passing day. He hoped he didn’t make her feel uncomfortable. “I’ll ramp up the intensity then. We’ll put that adrenaline to good use.” He smiled at her as he walked towards the training room. He faked a hurt look on his face when she punched him lightly. “Wow easy there Rocky.” He said teasingly. Derek ran his fingers through his hair. “I really don’t understand it but  apparently it’s “love” to quote Sapphire.” Derek paused when she asked him how he felt about it. “That’s a good question. Honestly it’s... a relief? I know that sounds weird as hell but once she told me that it was like I finally knew it was time to let go of what happened with the baby and all of that.”

Are you okay? I guess that’s a stupid question cause you’re clearly not okay. Just remember Southvale does this to people. It gets easier over time. 

I wish I could be.  Southvale has gotten a lot crazy than it used to be.  All the lies and scheming is not something that I could ever get used to here.

“You can all stop crying now, daddy Joe is back in town.”

[agent-derek-levine]

Dude, where have you been all this time? This place needs a shake up.

@agent-derek-levine

“Don’t give me that worried look. I want to get back into training. You can help me shooting or get out of my way.”

[agent-derek-levine]

Derek was surprised when he saw Flora wielding a gun. "Don't get me wrong. I like the enthusiasm but let's be careful with that. The safety's off." He carefully took the gun from Flora. "Follow me. We're going to the range."

[adrian-goode-blog1]

“Did you actually want something or are you just going to keep looking at me like that?”

[agent-derek-levine]

“I was thinking about something and zoned out. Anyways I’m having some issues with Fields. Has he been giving you any problems lately?” 

[annamead--xo]

“Days like today, I wonder why I ever decided to come back here.”

[agent-derek-levine]

She had felt like a total stalker, sitting on his front steps with a coffee and her purse, and she was glad he showed up. “I was beginning to think you’d stood me up or something,” she joked and shrugged. “It’s okay, I wasn’t waiting very long anyway,” she smiled. “We can do this another time if you don’t feel up to it?”

Derek shook his head. “You’re the last person I’d want to stand up, Bradshaw.” He said reassuringly. He walked to the door and unlocked it.”It might be best if we have our training session today. I could do with the distraction.”He pushed the door open and waited for Liz to join him. “I guess I owe you an explanation, uhhh I was Sapphire today and she told me she going to stay married to Carter.”Derek didn’t want to bother Liz but he knew he owed her an explanation as to why he was late.

Derek asked Liz to meet him at his house at 7 pm but after his weird meeting with Sapphire earlier, he was late. He sped into the driveway and quickly got out of the car. “I’m late.. I’m sorry.” He said as he approached Liz. “Let’s just say today has been a mess.” 

[agent-derek-levine]

Gabi hugged him back and sighed softly. “If only everyone else would realize that.” She replied with a shake of her head. “I wouldn’t mind that at all, D. I hadn’t even thought about all of that. Which I guess would be a good idea to start realizing a baby is coming…and I will be raising a little me. Oh god, what if I turn into my mother?”

“Try to ignore them. Their opinions don’t matter.” Derek smiled a little. He realized that by giving away the baby stuff it would help him to move on with his life and it was even better because they’d go to someone he cared about. “Alright, I’ll have the stuff sent over to you soon. For the record, I don’t think you’ll turn into your mother. You are going to be a great mom.”
