Short description: Eliot Spencer meets an old friend again and is kidnapped by her. Quite voluntarily she does not and Eliot soon finds itself in a situation unusual for him.

As so often during the last days Eliot was in John McRoys Place, a bar in Bosten. He had sat down in the rear area, under his leather jacket he carried a hood jacket, he had pulled cap deeply in the face. Round himself Eliot observed the guests.

A bad habit like he same found, however, he was not able differently. This had got Eliot in his army education dinned and this had also saved him so several times the life. While he observed, he drank over and over again a gulp from the bottle of beer which stood before him on the table.

Suddenly the door opened and a woman came in, largely, slender and with blond long hair. She stopped near the front door and let her look wander by the whole bar. Obviously she searched somebody, however, did not make a find.

She went to the bar and appealed to the barkeeper. The barkeeper nodded and pointed with his head in the direction of Eliot. She turned her head in the direction and saw him.

Eliot had recognised them again already while walking in. She was one of his ex-friends.

The woman went straight through the bar and stopped before the table of Eliot. Eliot lifted his look and said: "Hello, Jennifer!" – "Hello, Eliot!", her serious look became friendly and she smiled at Eliot. "May I sit down?" Eliot's expression remained inexpressive, he deeply inhaled and looked at the still empty chair beside himself. Jennifer sat down on this chair.

Jennifer paused a short moment, because she had to do to herself the words lay out. When she began to the talking, Eliot to her turned against, deeply saw to her in the eyes and meant: "It is long!"

"Yes!" Jennifer's face got an unfortunate expression. "At that time Eliot, this was not so easy. You have gone abroad without letting know me." – "I could say you nothing. At that time I acted for the government and when I came back, you were simply away!" Jennifer heard the reproachful undertone in his voice.

Nevertheless, she did not come further on this subject, but took her scarf. Under it blue spots in the neck and low neckline appeared. When Eliot saw the blue spots, his expression darkened and he growled formally: "Who has done to you this?" Jennifer saw in himself under it: "It is not in such a way as it looks!" Eliot briefly pulled up his eyebrow. He knew this sentence to is enough and he did not believe him!

"Eliot, I …" Jennifer deeply breathed by "I am ill … acute leukaemia!" Eliot's fierce expression changed into a compassionate look. "The blue spots are a symptom. The tiredness and loss of appetite are more badly.", she briefly paused: "Please, no compassion! I have resigned myself to it." – "Give it then no healing chance?", asked Eliot with serious voice. "No, there are drugs, everything tolerably make … I ähm … has only a few months!" Eliot had to swallow, because it cut off him the air.

It was 17 years that Jennifer and he were together, but at this moment Eliot to her felt close again. Before his internal eye the scenes from in those which had to both jokes played themselves. He remembered how they kissed each other and were passionate. For Eliot this was an important time and the involuntary separation, he had never overcome. Then he changed and walked on a way which he regretted today and which hard presses on him. As if Jennifer could feel his feelings, she laid her hand on his and fetched back him with it in the present.

At this moment the door opened and tore Eliot from this situation. Instinctively he had seen to the door and had recognised his friend Nathan Ford.

Nathan went to the bar and asked for a drink. With this in the hand he looked around and discovered immediately Eliot and them, for him, unknown woman at a table. Nathan drank a gulp of the glass, it put back on the bar and then was purposefully to Eliot and Jennifer.

"Hello, Eliot! I had not expected you here." Nathan tried to cover up with it the situation, because he had seen on the last metres to the table that Jennifer tried to cover desperately the blue spots with her scarf.

"Would you announce us? "-" Nate, this is an old friend of me, Jennifer Chesterfield. Jennifer, this is Nathan Ford. We work together." Nathan smiles: "Hello, Jennifer!" – "Hello", Jennifer smiled constrainedly back.

Nathan saw from Jennifer back to Eliot: "I hope, I do not interfere!" – "Nevertheless!", growled Eliot, drank the last gulp from the bottle of beer and got up self-confidently. He held out his right hand to Jennifer. Jennifer seized them and also got up. "Let us go. My flat is not far away!" He did not let go her hand any more and led them along Nathan from the bar.

Nathan stayed behind alone, he knew Eliot's rough behaviour. For him it looked in such a way, as if Jennifer Eliot''s help needed. But as long as Eliot said nothing, Nathan did not want to interfere.

When Two had run outdoors and a piece the street down to Eliot's silver Ford pickup truck, Jennifer stopped and pulled up Eliot in himself. "I have missed you!", she breathed to him in the ear.

When Jennifer took back her head, the full moon dipped her face in a special light. With the left hand Eliot seized her neck and glided with his thumb over her cheek. Slowly Jennifer Eliot gave a tender kiss. As a result Eliot turned carefully her left arm on her back and pulled up Jennifer in himself. He answered her kiss passionately. Between both it crackled again.

Few minutes later they were in his flat. Eliot opened and left Jennifer along himself in the flat. Jennifer went till the middle of the space, before herself she saw a modern bachelor flat. The space was big with a leather sofa set in the middle and a big Flatscreen on the being higher wall. To the lefts big windows released the view of Bosten and on the right wall a wooden stair showed the way to a gallery.

Much further Jennifer could not look around. Eliot had closed the door behind himself and had slowly stepped behind them.

Jennifer heard his breath and turned round. She reached with her hands under his leather jacket and hood jacket and pushed both over his shoulder, so that the jackets fell down to Eliot. In addition she untied Eliot's shirt and pushed also this of his shoulders.

Jennifer had to find out that Eliot had lost nothing of his attraction. He was still athletic and well in form, attributes she had loved in him.

Also Eliot cannot be asked long. Discreetly he took off Jennifer's jacket and her blouse. Then he sank his hands in her upper part of the body down. Jennifer enjoyed this tenderness obviously. She had had long since no more partner.

Elegant Eliot Jennifer further pushed up to the couch, together with her he dropped himself elegantly on the couch and kissed them passionately.

Suddenly something stung Eliot in the neck. He tore open the eyes and pushed Jennifer of himself under it. "What …" – "I am sorry, Eliot!" Jennifer had pushed to him a syringe in the cervical side. The given means showed effect within seconds.

It became Eliot in the head dizzy and he started to fight against the menacing faint. He tried on prepare, however, he already did not manage this any more. Eliot sank back and remained lying unconsciously on the couch.

Jennifer got up: "I am not able differently, it is about my son. I am sorry thus!", a tear ran through her cheek.
