They stood in Fargo's office discussing how to resolve the cleanup of all the structures the construction mites had built. Jack and Allison were sitting together on the couch, she was fretting over the bruise on his neck left by his tie.
"I'm fine, Allie. I've had worse before."
"I know but I'm your girlfriend now. I'm allowed to dote." Allison smiled at him. "Besides, now you know how I felt when you doted on me." Jack chuckled and leaned over to Allison for a kiss.
Their bliss was short lived when it was interrupted by four men in suits walking into Fargo's office. Jack and Allison looked at the four men standing in front of them. The men weren't pauing any attention to anyone else in the room, their focus was only on Jack.
"Jack Carter. You need to come with us now." The man standing closest spoke.
Confusion written on Jack's face was mirrored in his voice when he answered. "What for? Have I done something wrong?"
"It's classified. I can't discuss any details here. You need to come with us. If you refuse, we will have to restrain you. I'm afraid you don't have a choice."
For a moment no one said or moved, then Fargo stood up and walked over to the man who had been speaking. "I'm Dr. Douglas Fargo, Director of G.D. I have the clearence for any for anything classified. So I authorize you to un-classify whatever it is."
"I'm sorry Director, but this situation is classified even for you. Mr. Carter, please don't make this harder than it has to be." Carter noticed that the other three men had reached for their sidearms.
"Okay. I'll come with you. Just don't hurt anyone."
"Cooperate and no one will."
Jack stood up from the couch and started to walk toward the men. Allison's hand on his arm stopped him.
"Jack, you don't know who these men are. You can't just go with them." She whispered.
"They have guns, and they look ready to kill if they have to. I won't let them hurt you or anyone else. I'll be fine, Allison. I promise." Jack put his hand over hers and lifted it off his arm and squeezed it gently. " I love you."
"I love you too Jack." He kissed the back of her hand.
"Now, Carter."
Jack let go of her hand and walked over to the man who had been speaking. "Okay. Let's go."
"Thank you for cooperating." The man turned on his heels and started walking out of the office. Jack followed him out the door, closely followed by the other three. Once they got into the rotunda, Jack turned around to look through the window of Fargo's office and saw Allison and his friends watching him leave. One of the men nudged him to keep walking, he gazed at Allison's face wet with tears for another second, then turned and walked out the door of Global Dynamics.
