The lights were dim; there were only three heat sources in the room. One of the heat sources belonged to a blond who was just finishing up her report and printing it, while Levi, the second heat source watched lazily, looking as if he wanted to go home. The third heat source came from Jack. In truth he finished about a half hour ago along with the rest of the team but pretended to still be working on it hoping to what for Sue and being able to walk her to her car.

When Jack saw Sue's movement towards the printer, he quickly printed his report and made his way to the printer as well, meeting Sue when he got there.

"You finished too?" Jack questioned trying to seem as oblivious as possible to the situation. With her nod he continued "how bout I walk you to your car". Again she answered with a nod a said" sure I'd like that just let me get my stuff".

When they were all set to leave, Sue met Jack at the door; He led her out with a open hand at the small of her back as he always does. While walking towards the elevator at the end of the hall Jack took in Sues scent. It was lovely as ever, a nice combination of strawberries and vanilla.

Unknown to Jack Sue was doing the exact same thing. Taking advantage of there closeness she breathed in his scent. From what Sue could tell Jack knew just the right amount of aftershave to put on. She was not good with identifying the smell but it was perfect with a hint of Dove soap.

Bringing both of them out of there thoughts was a ding announcing the arrival of the elevator. They both walked in and they small talked till there arrival to Sue's car. Sue was just about to get into her car when Jack put his hand lightly on her shoulder. Sue turned around expecting Jack to say something right away, but instead he took his time getting the words out of his mouth.

Not knowing what to say other than get strait to the point Jack said "Do you want to take a two week road trip with me?". Before she could get one word out Jack continued. "I have been planning on going up to Michigan to see my parents. But I also know that I could really use some company and we could stop to visit your parent's house on the way. Not to mention all the sights we could see going by car instead of plane. I know you've been missing them and we both could use the break so what do you say? Jack finally finished hoping that Sue caught all that not really wanting to repeat it. It was hard enough to work up the courage the first time.

Sue took some time to answer trying to process what was being offered to her 'Jack just asked me to go on a cross county road trip with him?! Wow that would be so much fun, and I have been wanting to see my parents again.' "what about work though do you know if Garret will let me take that much time off?" Sue questioned instead of directly answering Jack. But he figured that was better then a strait up no. "yeah just this afternoon when you were at lunch with Lucy I talked to Garrett, and managed to let him give both of us two weeks off."

"Just one more question" Sue said.

"Just one?" Jack said with a chuckle.

"Yes, how did you know that I was going to say yes to this whole thing?"

"Well I didn't, I prayed that you would but I wasn't sure and I figured you could use the two weeks off anyway."

"Well, all I have to say to that is….when do we leave?" The woman said with a smile

"I was thinking tomorrow morning around 6ish, that way we can make good progress on the road"

"Okay, you are picking me up as usual?"

"As usual" Jack said with a smile as he helped sue into the car. And watched her drive away.
