Author's notes: Thank you to Karen for betaing.
I love forwards ... they always inspire some of the most interesting fics ... hehehehe
Chris sighed, firing up his home computer. It had been a long week ... made longer by the fact that Vin, Ezra, and JD were off in Los Angeles. The ATF office there requested the three agents to help run an ongoing seminar on weapons, undercover work, computer surveillance and hacking.
Chris laughed. It was the irony of ironies. The three of his men who most hated seminars were now giving them. He just hoped they got home in time for Christmas ... all seven women had planned something huge and Chris did not want to have to scrape up his men if they missed what their wives, fiancees, and girlfriends had planned. Hell hath no fury ... he thought.
When his email finally pulled up, he found the regular slew of junk email, a few from other ATF agents, an announcement on the upcoming ATF Christmas office party, and one from Vin.
Chris opened that one first and then started laughing ...
hey cowboy, bet the office is real quiet, huh? miss us? <eg> anyway, got this from jd, thought it might cheer ya up, see y'all at home, vin

This is my oath ... I pledge till the end. Why you may ask? Because you're my friend. {{{{ my very best friend! see, ain't i greatest friend? aw, c'mon, chris, you know i am! }}}}
Chris smiled. He was. But he'd be damned if he tell the little bastard that.
