New story hope you like it

Don't own any of them, they all belong to PAX xx

The idea for the story sort of came from the last episode of TV show FRIENDS, which made me think what if Sue did leave would that cause Jack to act

I don't own FRIENDS either - though none of them are mentioned the running to the airport to stop her is just similar to what happens here but with a J/S twist

Jack Hudson sat at his desk reading a report and trying to concentrate, but he couldn't. Lifting his head towards her desk he sighed she wasn't there and she wasn't ever going to be there again. His best friend, the woman he loved had gone, she had taken a new job in New York and even though he was happy she had been given the opportunity inside his heart was breaking.

Why he couldn't have just told her not to go and that he loved her was beyond him, it wasn't like he didn't have the opportunities; there were plenty of times he could have done it... during their undercover marriage, after the kiss a Callahan and Merced, waking up next to her in the hospital when Billy was sick, after the mafia case with Tony, the day he saved her from Simon being a few examples, not to mention during the countless number of times they had dinner together.

But he didn't and now she was gone, well technically she was gone, in reality she was sat waiting for her plane at the airport, he could go and talk to her now, but as she wished, no-one except Lucy knew which airport she was flying from just the time 3:30pm, she claimed it was because she had said her goodbyes and couldn't do it again.

Jack sighed again, he knew what he had to do, he had to tell her before it drove him crazy. Turning to his computer he looked up flights to New York from DC and sighed again, there weren't any flights leaving from DC to New York at 3:30pm.

"ARGH! This makes no sense" he yelled in frustration causing Lucy, who was the only other person in the office, to look up asking

"You OK, Jack"

"Yeah, sorry just this report. By the way where is everyone?"

"Myles and Bobby are still interviewing that drug suspect, Tara is arguing with Randy about her expense forms and D is in a meeting with Ted"

"Oh" he replied before turning his attention back to the screen in front of him

"Think Hudson were the heck has she gone" he whispered "If you were Sue where would you go before starting a new job"

Still frustrated and not able to figure it out, even though he had seen the 3:30pm flight to Ohio, Sue's hometown it still didn't click, he stood and made his way to Lucy desk to ask her, but as soon as his thigh accidently brushed Sue's he sat back at his own. He repeated this action a further five times before Lucy finally spoke up knowing what it was it trying to do

"Jack"

"Yes"

"Reagan National, Gate 3, flight 349 to Ohio, she's going home for a few days before she starts her new job"

"What? How did you know?" he asked surprised

"You have been staring at her desk all morning, every time you get up you stroke her desk with your hand before sitting back down, Jack go and get her; stop her from leaving; just tell her how you feel before you drive yourself and everyone else crazy"

Jack didn't answer he just grabbed his keys and jacket and headed for his door almost knocking Myles and Bobby off their feet as he rounded a corner

"Luce where's he off?" Bobby asked as he saw Lucy coming towards them

"Reagan National" she answered with a smile

"It is about time" they repeated together

Jack made his way to the parking garage at a lightning speed, he only had forty minutes before her flight left and with afternoon DC traffic he knew this was going to be tight. Pulling into the airport he had ten minutes to spare. He didn't care if he had a ticket when he got back; he just parked the car in the first space he saw and sprinted through the airport towards gate 3.

After buying a plane ticket so he could get access to the boarding gate, he ran towards the elevator as he came to the top he saw her standing in the queue getting ready to board, knowing that calling her name would be pointless he called out the next best thing

"LEVI GET SUE!"

He couldn't help but smile as the dog jumped up on his mistress, causing her to stop and look in his direction, as he made his way towards her

"Jack, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. Sue I need to tell you something and I couldn't let you leave without telling you"

"Jack, this may shock you but there are these inventions called phones, you could have called"

"No, I couldn't call; I needed to tell you face to face, I need to look you in the eyes as I tell you"

"Jack, please you're scaring me, what's happened? Is everyone ok?"

"Nothing's happened Sue, everyone's fine. I just need to tell you something"

"Jack please I need to go what's wrong?"

Jack took a deep breath to steady himself before taking her hands in his "I love you Sue, please don't go, please I can't spend another day without in my life. I love you so much it's driving me crazy"

Sue didn't know what to do, say, think, nothing she had so many things whirling around her head right now it was hard to concentrate, a tap on her shoulder from the desk clerk brought her back to reality

"Sue please say something" Jack pleaded with tears in his eyes

"I have to go Jack" she replied removing her hands from his before disappearing towards her plane

Jack didn't know what to do, he wanted to move but his heart was breaking; he sank into a chair tears freely flowing from his eyes. His cell phone brought him back to reality

"Hi"

(Jack, are you ok?)

"No Lucy I'm not"

(What happened Jack? Did you talk to her?)

"Yes Lucy I told her I loved her"

(What did she say?)

"Nothing Lucy she still left, she's gone Luce, I've lost her" he replied sobbing uncontrollably into the phone, as he could hear Lucy's cries on the other end

Jack needed to get out of this place, he needed air, he needed space, he needed to run but more than anything he needed her. He kept his gaze focused on the door pleading for her to walk back through it but when he caught a glimpse of her plane taking off he knew she was gone. With his shoulders slumped forward he made his way back to his car, to make the long drive home, a drive that was harder than normal due to his tears.
