When they shake hands and Matt says he knows who he is, Steve’s not surprised yet. After that surprise Most Eligible Bachelor series came out, it seems like most people know of him.
But then Matt calls him Captain, and Steve’s head turns ever so slightly as he gives the man a curious look. “All right, Matt,” he says, smiling in return. “But you’ll need to call me Steve. And I’m only a lieutenant here.” But that curious look in his eyes isn’t gone, and he can’t help but wonder if Matt knows exactly who he is.
There’s just a second of silence before Steve gets straight to business.
“I heard this morning that you’ve been assigned to defend the Specials accused of treason yesterday. I’ve met all four of them before, and I know some of them much better than the others, but …” Steve shakes his head as he exhales. Every time this happens, it’s so much more than just frustrating. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
