Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while since the last update but I've been kinda busy! I just turned 14 on the 11th (WHOO HOO FINALLY!) and guess what I got….ALL 3 SEASONS OF SUE THOMAS FBEYE! EVERY SINGLE EPISODE! I kind of knew about it before my birthday because the box came and the company was Sue Thomas DVDs but I was still so, So, SO happy! I can watch any time I want to and that makes me a VERY happy camper. No more I-only-have-half-of-a-two-parter or re-watching the same ones over and over because I love them so much. Plus, most of the ones that I taped on PAX are missing parts, so I get a extra surprise in every episode! Anyway, thanks to futuremrshudson, Pattyfer78, lizziemarie0529, JewDrop91, Hope06 and fanka77. I LOVE MY REVIEWERS! But you guys didn't name any actresses so I had to choose on my own. You'll see who I choose at the end of the chapter!
"So who are we going to see again?" Sue asked as Jack pressed the gold button that had a 'p' for parking garage.
"To see the ladies of NGIC." He smiled.
Sue shot him a questioning look, "I'll play along with your game, who are the ladies of NGIC?"
The elevator stopped at the second floor and a few people got in, "NGIC stands for National Gang Intelligence Center-"
He paused as Sue asked a question, "And the ladies are…?"
"Jocelyn and Gwen Carter, 'Gang Stoppers Extraordinar'," He explained, putting air quotations around Gang Stoppers Extraordinar, "Or at least that's what they say."
The elevator stopped and the duo, plus Levi, got off. Once inside the car Sue asked, "Isn't the data from NGIC available to all law enforcement without having to go to the NGIC offices?"
Jack nodded as he backed out of the parking space, "It is but everyone needs to meet Jocelyn and Gwen sometime, they're very…" He paused, seemingly searching for the right adjective, "Interesting."
"Interesting?" Sue asked skeptically. Jack just gave one of his best smiles and refused to say anything else on the subject of the Carter sisters
The outside of the NGIC was pretty bland. It was your average government building, boring stand-colored stone, windows that looked pretty normal (But everyone knows they're bullet proof), big impressive steps, and people going in and out dressed in suits and shiny black shoes.
Jack, Sue, and Levi made their way through the maze-like halls of the building, "This place is massive."
"I guess so, it's confusing for sure." The trio came upon a hall way that was even more congested and bustling. Jack lead the way past several doors and to the last door before a big open area that reminded Sue of the bullpen back at the Hover Building. The door Jack stopped at looked very official with Gwenyth Carter and Jocelyn Carter written in bold black lettering. With a knock, the door swung open and the first thing that registered with Sue was the mess. Files were piled precariously on the edge of both desks in the room and all the drawers on the small filing cabinet were open and stacked with millions of files. There were two coats on top of a table by the door and the coffee maker next to the coats looked like it was on its last legs. In one corner of the room a potted palm dropped sadly over the desk closest to it, making a sort of canopy.
Jack smiled at her surprised look on her face and called out, "Anybody home?"
Only then did she notice the blond head under the palm leaf and the part of a shoe under the second desk, "WHAT?" someone growled as the shoe disappeared and another blond head rose above the haphazardly stacked files.
The blond haired head was slightly wavy and the hair ended just above the woman's shoulders. She had blue eyes and her high cheek bones gave her an air of royalty. But the half moon bruise under her left eye kind of took away from the whole royalty thing. A frown dominated her features but when she saw Jack a transforming smile lit up her face, "Jackie baby, it's much too long since you visited our humble abode." She stopped when she got a look at Sue, "And you brought us a friend!"
"What happened to you?" Jack asked. "Get into a bar brawl?"
Gwen stuck out a foot with a cast on it, "No I feel down two flights of stairs." Gwen said with obvious sarcasm.
"No you didn't, you-" The second blond head popped up showing a pretty woman who looked slightly younger then the first and she had long, straight blond hair tied up in a bun, big brown eyes and a pretty smile, "Jackie!" She stood up quickly, knocking over a partially big stack of files.
"She still doesn't get my sarcasm." Gwen said crossly, "Nobody ever gets my sarcasm."
"That's because you have a highly developed sarcastic sense…now to the matter at hand." Jack smiled.
Meanwhile, Jocelyn looked down at the file with a slightly stupefied look, as though she didn't know who the files came to be resting in a haphazard pile on the floor, "Oopies Daisies…"
The other woman, Gwen, snorted, "Score one for Jocelyn."
Sue stooped to help Jocelyn picked up the paper and she said with a smile, "Let me help you."
Jocelyn smiled, "That is so nice of you! Gwen would never ever do that!"
"You bet, I try to avoid being helpful, studies show that helpfulness can be hazardous to one's health." Gwen said as she took a sip from a coffee mug.
"I'm sorry," Sue said as she put a handful of files on the desk, "I didn't catch all of that."
"I said-" Gwen started but she was cut off by her sister's voice.
"A dog! He's sooo cute! What's his name? Why's he's here? Is he yours? Is-" Jocelyn was cut off by her sister.
"Shut up Josie. She was talking to me." Gwen shot her sister a scornful look.
"How second grade of you Gwen-" This time Sue was the one who cut off the younger sister.
"You two are going to have to speak a little slower, it's hard to read your lips when they're going one hundred miles an hour."
Jack snickered at the confused look on both sisters faces, "That's the fastest either of you have ever stopped talking."
If looks could kill, Jack would have been dead two times over. "What, pray tell, do you mean 'I can't read you lips'?" Jocelyn asked and Gwen nodded.
A smiled danced across her lips, "I'm deaf and I read lips, and Levi," She pointed to her golden-haired dog, "Is my hearing dog. He tells me when someone is trying to get my attention, when the phone rings, stuff like that."
Jocelyn grinned a very childish grin, "AWSOME!"
Gwen's eyebrows creased, "So you must be Sue…Thomas?"
The second part came out almost as a question, "That's me," Sue said, "How did you know who I was?"
"We hear things," Jocelyn started.
"Even way out here in the boonies," Gwen finished.
"And if you are out here in the boonies Jack probably wanted you to meet us…" Jocelyn said as she moved closer to Jack.
Gwen stood up showing the cast on her right leg more clearly as she too moved toward Jack, "And you want some information, right…Sparky?"
Jack nodded as he moved around the sisters and plopped down in Gwen's chair, "Yep."
"Get your butt out of my chair," Gwen said at the same time her sister said, "What kind of information?"
To Gwen Jack grinned, "No."
To Jocelyn, "Information on a gang called the Strikers."
Gwen: "Eww."
Jocelyn: "Agreed, those are some bad people."
Sue looked between the sisters, "I want to know everything about them."
Jocelyn went back to her desk and pulled out the bottom drawer and brought the entire thing to Sue, "This is only half of it. They have their fingers in every crime pie know to man."
"A one stop shop. They are into weapons, drugs, illegal immigration, smuggling, auto theft…" Gwen stopped counting things off on her fingers, "On second thought, let's just say theft. They would steal anything that wasn't glued, screwed, tied down and locked in a concrete bunker."
"In Qatar." Jocelyn added.
"Extortion, they have strong ties to the Black Market and the mob…" Gwen continued.
"Prostitution, kidnapping, killers for hire, arson," Jocelyn paused, "And I could go on."
"'Bad people' seems like an understatement," Jack said and Sue nodded.
"What's worse is they are kind of considered the 'police' of the criminal world," Gwen said. Looking at Jack and Sue's confusion she continued, "They are the ones who kill snitches, make sure nobody rats out on them…or whoever hires them."
"In a sense," Jocelyn continued for her sister, "They uphold the criminal law."
Sue nodded slowly, "We were reading about the rank among the Strikers…what can you tell us about their 'leaders'?"
"There aren't many know. We're pretty sure there are more than just the names we have but the identities are hard to come by."
Jocelyn nodded, "We have lost 5 or 6 people who were going to share that info with us…"
"How?" Jack asked, though he already had a guess to what the answer was.
"They have people on the inside of prison. They were all killed…hung, knifed, shot…" Gwen spoke gravely.
"Do you have a list of names we could have?" Sue asked.
Jocelyn dug through the desk drawer now resting on the edge of the desk and handed Sue a sheet of paper, "Here, we don't have much on them, just names and a few vague descriptions."
"This may sound odd, but do you know if any of them are teenagers?" Sue said as she looked up from the sheet Jocelyn had given her.
A look passed between the sisters and Sue knew she had hit on something, "As a matter of fact, a teenage girl just popped up on our radar a few months ago. It seems she moved up to be the youngest leader. We don't have much on her." Gwen said slowly.
"Do you know something about her?" Jocelyn asked.
"Maybe, was there anything particularly…different about her?" Sue asked.
The sisters looked blank, but a light of remembrance lit up Jocelyn's pretty face, "She's deaf! Like you!"
Jack and Sue's eyes met, "Raven."
Well there you have it, a REALLY LONG chapter three! This seriously took FOREVER to write…I think the middle was a little choppy but I hope it wasn't too bad. I've been watching the episodes and I am going to give a little statement about the episodes Secret Agent Man and Spy Games. I hate Jessica. And I think that Jack was blinded by her outside beauty and didn't see the rotten core within. But that doesn't make up for his mooning actions over Jessica. Sue is just as pretty and has a much nicer heart. So Jack was being stupid and it seems that he got his pay back. *Sigh* I love Jack and Sue together, my mom and I decided that if the show had gone on the show would have gotten together somehow. Plus I think that Bad Girls was actually the last episode of the third season and they tacked on Endings and Beginnings because PAX cut the money off. Stupid PAX. So I'm hoping somewhere locked in a safe is at least a few un-filmed STFBEyes. Anyway, the actresses I chose were….
Gwen Carter: Reese Witherspoon
Jocelyn Carter: Jessica Alba
