"All right ladies and gents, listen up! It's time to dust off your ball gowns and bring out those tuxedos!" Jack said as he came into the bull pen with a smile.
"Ball gowns and tuxedos?" Sue looked to Lucy to be sure she had read Jack's lips right.
Lucy nodded and then looked back to Jack, waiting for the statement to be explained.
"What? Are you taking us to a ball Sparky?" Bobby asked, looking up from a sheet of paper he had been reading.
Jack pushed Bobby's feet off his desk. "Sorry Crash, no can do," he laughed. "It's our new assignment. There's a politician in town running for senate, a Mr. Robert Jameson. He's hosting a gala charity event and wants protection."
"So he chose the F.B.I.'s best and brightest, did he?" Myles asked.
Jack nodded and grinned. "The event is tomorrow night at the St. Regis Hotel. Formal wear is required and we have to show up there at six o'clock sharp to go over the blue prints and post security everywhere."
Tara smiled and looked
to Sue. "Sound's like fun, doesn't it, Sue? Sue?" Tara
waved a hand in front of her friend's face.
Sue had been staring
off into space, an almost frightened look in her eyes. She came back
to herself with a start. "Sorry Tara, did you say something?"
she asked.
Tara frowned. "Are you feeling all right?" she asked, putting a kind hand on Sue's arm.
Sue nodded and stood up a little shakily. "Yes, yes, I'm fine. I-I just need to go outside for a walk. Levi's been begging me all day." It was a lame excuse and she knew it, but Sue's mind was working too fast already to come up with another reason.
"Okay…." Lucy said, coming up beside her friend. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, I'm sure," Sue smiled, touched by her friends' concern. "I'll be back soon," she added, backing out of the office.
"I wonder what's wrong with her," Bobby, who had been standing with Jack, mused.
"So do I…."
