Linc felt like shit and hardly slept. He crawled down to breakfast and didn't talk to anyone. He went to his office to finish his report on the vampire he killed the day before, when everything was normal. Now, his partner was gay. He sighed. "Just finish the report." He was talking to himself.

He was silent all day.

Linc was intense and Rachel tried not to be alone with him. He was a little shorter than Grayson. He had dark hair and pretty blue eyes and his stare was intense. He was pretty for a guy. His nose was narrow and his smile was a little crooked but charming. He kept his dark hair short, almost shaved and she thought he was sexy because he left some stubble on his face. If she didn't have Tyler, she would hit on Linc. He had that unshaven look and it was so sexy on him.

He was very hot but intimidating. She always thought so. He had a great sense of humor and that always took her by surprise. He loved to joke around but he was intense. He was very focused. Rachel would never stand a chance with Linc. He didn't seem to notice her.

Rachel noticed that something was wrong and went to talk to him. "Linc. May I say something?"

Linc was throwing knives. "No." He threw one and it hit the target.

"It's not a big deal. So Grayson is into guys. It has nothing to do with his ability to hunt with you. Nothing is different." Rachel tried.

Linc sighed. "I know that Rachel. I don't know what my problem is. I'm being stupid."

Rachel smiled. "Maybe you are jealous?" She shouldn't have said it.

"What?" Linc stopped throwing knives. "What would I be jealous of?"

Rachel sighed. "I don't know. Maybe that he was able to be honest about it. Maybe you like him....like that. Maybe you're gay too?"

Linc was pissed. "I am not!" He almost pointed a knife at her. "Never say that again!"

"Linc. There is nothing wrong with being honest with yourself and your friends. I have known you for seven years and we would all love you either way. Grayson needs a friend right now and he feels like you left him. He loves you ...purely in a friendly way. You need to get over this and just talk to him. He's hurt." Rachel saw something there. Was Linc gay? She was curious now.

"I don't care!" Linc sighed. He did care. He didn't want Grayson hurt and he didn't want to hurt him. "Fuck!" He stormed off and tossed the three knives he still had. They hit the target. He hated that Rachel could do that to him.
