Jessie was at her condo packing a bag to go to Scotland to deal with a few personal matters that came up. Just as she zipped up her bag, she remembered that she worked with a team now, and had to let them know. She grabbed her cellphone, and called Barney. When he picked up, Jessie told him that she had some personal matters she had to attend to. Barney said alright; he asked how long she expected to be gone. Jessie told him no more than two weeks. Barney said to call if she needed anything; Jessie said she'd do that.
Two weeks later. . . . .
Barney and the rest of his team were having a beer at Rusty's. They were all having a good time. Thorn was talking with Barney and Christmas when his phone dinged. He got his phone out, and seen that he had a message from Jessie. He opened the message, and all it said was "help".
"Barney, we have a problem." Said Thorn.
"What kind of problem?" Barney asked.
"You said Jessie went to take care of some personal matters, and she'd be gone for about two weeks." Said Thorn.
"Yes, why?" Barney asked.
"Jessie just sent me a message, all it says is "help"." Said Thorn.
Barney then said that Jessie never told him where she was going. Smilee came up to the group of solemn faced guys. He then asked what was wrong. Christmas said that Jessie is in trouble. Smilee said that they should go to help her. Barney said that he didn't even know where she was.
"Then let us find out. We'll go to her place, and we would find out where she went." Said Smilee.
"Thorn look up her address." Said Christmas.
Thorn consulted his computer, and when he found it, he was shocked. Thorn looked at the team, and Gunner asked what was wrong. Thorn rose, and said that they'll find out. Thorn then led the way out to the bikes, and they rode off. When they got to her building, the group was shocked.
"This can't be her place." Said Caesar.
"This is the address. Let's go, and find out." Said Thorn.
They went inside, and seen that there were several condo's in the building, but only one was being lived in. Toll Road had said that they should go up. They went to the elevator, and pressed the up button. Once in the elevator, the top floor was password protected. Thorn pulled his hand held computer, and punched a few keys. They soon got to her front door. Thorn picked the lock, and they all went inside. The team was shocked to see what her apartment looked like. As they filed in, they saw everything was top of the line; from the furniture to the electronics. Caesar looked into the kitchen, and became all dreamy eyed. Thorn then started looking for Jessie's computer. After twenty minutes Thorn stopped in the middle of the living room.
"Anything wrong?" Doc asked.
"Yea, I can't find her computer." Said Thorn.
Doc was about to ask something, but Galgo spoke up.
"I think I may have found it." Said Galgo.
"Where?" Thorn asked.
"Over here." Said Galgo.
Thorn walked over, and Galgo pointed out the desk. Thorn seen the desk, and on the surface was an illuminated keyboard. Thorn hit the spacebar, and the six tv's on the wall came alive. Barney and the other came over to him. Toll seen the starry look in Thorn's eyes. Thorn was so focused on the tv's that he didn't hear the comment Toll made.
"I think he's in love." Said Toll.
"Thorn, today." Said Barney.
"Sorry." Said Thorn.
Thorn then sat in the desk chair, and started his work. After a half hour, he sat back in the chair with his hands in his lap.
