She stood in MTAC speaking with the man on the screen. When their conversation about the sex site ended she turned to Jethro upset that he had been sending alcohol to men in Iraq.
"Alcohol is contraband in Iraq" she warned but said it strictly as a 'I don't want to hear of this again' tone.
"I'd thought it take longer" he said starring down at her.
"Longer for what?"
"To see you as a director and not a field agent."
And that's when her heart fell. Her mouth went dry and she had to fight tears. She bit her tongue in order to do so.
She didn't speak or listen to what Cynthia said. She gave Jethro a look and he was off. To do what she was unaware of.
She sat down in her chair and thought about being a field agent. She didn't want that anymore but she suddenly did just to make him happy. He'd missed her that was something she was sure of.
And the rest of her day went through feeling pain. Sadness and hurt. Maybe just that feeling you want to jump up and strangle somebody. She made a mental mark to talk to him later. And she didn't forget. In fact that is all she thought about the rest of the day.
A/N: More chapters soon. Short chapters, yeah I know, but they are easier to read. Please review.
