Chapter 3.

Kris hung up the phone, sighing. It was the second time she'd tried to call Jill today, without having any luck of finding her. She had flown back to her apartment in Le Mans which she still had after they'd been to Italy. That was two weeks ago, and Kris' hadn't been able to reach Jill for three days now. She shook if off, probably Jill just had a lot to do. She was talking about a new car that John had been given, and she was also talking about training and qualifying to Belgium's GP. Kris sighed again before crawling down into her bed. After worrying a few hours, she fell asleep.


The following morning, Kris woke up early from the phone. She rolled over and grabbed the phone.

"Hello?"

"Kris? Hi! It's Andrea."

"Who?"

"Andrea Gordon, Jill's coworker."

"Oh, hi."

"I heard your messages on her answering machine, I'm here to pick up some clothes for Jill, and I just wanted to call you back to let you know what's going on."

Kris sat up straight in the bed.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, she's okay, she just got a really high fever and had some really bad stomach cramps so we took her to the hospital a few days ago, and she's still there, but she's being released today."

"What happened? What was wrong?"

"She'd gotten some bacterial illness called typhoid fever from that dirty water she drank when she was kidnapped in Italy. But don't worry, I'm just about to bring her home and I'll tell her to call you."

"Please do. Thank you for calling Andrea."

"Not a problem. I hope I didn't wake you?"

"Yeah, you did, but it's fine, I'm happy you called."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later Kris. Bye!"

"Bye." Kris said as she hung up the phone.

Kris rolled out of bed and jumped into the shower. She stood there for a long time, drowning her thoughts in the hot water. She stood in the shower for a long time before getting out, eating some breakfast and heading to the office. It was still very early and she was alone in the office when she came in. She sighed and sank down into Bosley's chair, putting her feet on the desk. Oh, how she loved this office. There had been so much going on here, this room was filled of so many emotions. She had been crying here, she'd been worried, sad, upset, angry, but on the other hand, she'd been happy, laughing, joking and a lot of teasing. She remembered the first time she'd walked in through that office door. She'd been so nervous, she hadn't even heard Kelly and Sabrina arguing loudly with Bosley, but she'd been about it later told later.



"Bosley, it's up to you to talk to Charlie!" Sabrina demanded as she and Kelly were frantically running around the desk, mad and upset that Bosley had told them that someone would come and replace Jill.

"We don't want her and we don't need her." Kelly agreed.

"It's nothing personal it's just that we do…" Sabrina said, being cut off as she and Kelly met behind Bosley's chair, again. "We don't need anybody."

"That's right, whoever it is."

"Now look, nobody can take Jill's place with us. Nobody!"

"Besides, she'll be back before you know it."

"Right!"

"Charlie knows what he's doing." Bosley spoke for the first time since the angels began arguing, keeping calm.

"Oh sure. Like the time he sent us to Nova Scotia to find Mrs. Carpenter's killer."

"Oh, that was a cute one." Sabrina agreed.

"Uh-huh and the killer was managing a banana plantation in Honduras."

"You got him didn't you?" Bosley smiled.

"We were there so long the guy had to come home for Christmas."

"Come on John." Sabrina pressed. "Who… is… it?"

"Trust Charlie." Bosley simply answered.

Both Kelly and Sabrina sighed, giving Bosley evil looks.

"I don't know who's more irritating sometimes, you or that mythical boss of ours!" Kelly snapped.

They were cut of by the buzzing of the phone, followed by Bosley answering, telling the secretary to `send her in´.

"Oh ye, of little faith." Bosley smiled.

"Maybe we will work with her, and maybe we won't." Sabrina threatened.

"Did you hear that?" Kelly added, before both of them turning towards the door as it opened.

"Hi!" The young blonde said as she roared into the office. "Well, here I am!"

Her huge smile disappeared when she saw the strange looks in Sabrina and Kelly's faces.

"It's me!"

"Who?" Kelly asked confused.

"Kris. Kris Munroe."

"As in Kris Munroe – Jill Munroe's younger sister with pigtails and braces?" Sabrina said as she and Kelly realized who were standing in front of them. They hadn't seen this youngster since Jill graduated from the Police Academy.

"You've got it!"

"Bosley, you didn't tell us! I can't believe it!" Kelly said, rushing to hug Kris.

"Ooh, how are you?" Kris asked as she hugged Kris and then Sabrina.

"Kris!" Sabrina said, embracing her hug.

"Why didn't Jill tell us?" Sabrina asked.

"Oh, Jill sends her love. She's in Spain right now, practicing for a big race. She wants to be the first woman to win Le Mans."

"She'll do it, she'll do it!" Sabrina laughed.

"Hey, I thought Jill was sending you through collage?"

"Oh she was!"

"Well you must be a teacher by now?"

"No not exactly."

"Not exactly what?"

"Well, while Jill thought I was going to collage I was actually going to the police academy. In San Francisco."

"Police academy? Police academy? Police academy!"

"Bosley, you didn't tell us!"

"Perfect!" Both Sabrina and Kelly laughed, pulling Kris to the couches, the argument earlier was already forgotten.*


Then she'd just been there for a few hours before they were all sent off to Hawaii. Kris could today laugh at the thought of herself saying "I can't believe it. Charlie's been kidnapped and I haven't even seen him yet." Kelly had given her an amused look, answering with "So what else is new?" They had been laughing at that later, especially Jill had been laughing. She hadn't told Kris that they'd never met Charlie, and when Kris said that Charlie had hired her, Jill had left out that detail on purpose. Of course. Kris smiled as she leaned back. She was going to miss this office, definitely.

The phone interrupted her thoughts, and she clicked on the speaker with her heal.

"Townsend Agency."

"Hi Kris, it's Kelly."

"Good morning."

"Not very."

"Ella's still sick?"

"Yeah, she's been vomiting the entire night."

"Aw, I'm sorry Kelly. You stay home today and take care of her."

"I planned to, that's why I called."

"Want me to drop by tonight?"

"Don't mind if you do. Why don't you come by for dinner?"

"Sure."

"I didn't expect anyone to pick up by the way, I thought I'd leave a message."

"I'm early, I thought I could just as well sit here as sitting home when I was awake anyway."

"Why the early morning?"

"Got a phone called from Andrea, Jill's coworker you know. Jill's evidently sick too, she's been hospitalized for a few days, but she'd be released today."

"What happened?"

"She'd gotten some bacterial illness from that disgusting water in the basement, remember she told us that she drank it so she didn't die from dehydration?"

"Yeah, I remember her telling us that. Aw, poor Jill. Glad to hear she's doing better anyway."

"Yeah. Andrea was going to have Jill call me later."

"Good, call me when you've talked to her, okay?"

"Promise."

"Good. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Absolutely, bye."

"Bye."

Kris clicked off the speaker with her heal again, closed her eyes. Jill's sick. Ella's sick. Kelly's worried. What a morning.



About 45 minutes later Bosley and Julie came into the office.

"Look, someone who's in time." Bosley smiled.

Kris looked up, smiling to Bosley, rolling her eyes.

"Is Kelly coming in?" Julie asked, getting some coffee that Kris made.

"Nope, Ella's been up sick all night."

"Okay." Bosley and Julie nodded, sitting down in the couches. Kris moved over to the couches too, sitting down next to Bosley. Bosley observed Kris, then putting one arm around her shoulders.

"What's on you mind Angel?"

"I'm just tired of this."

"I know, bookwork is boring but we're almost finished with these files."

"I didn't mean the bookwork, I meant this work in general."

"You want out?" Julie asked, and Kris nodded.

"I've gotten a job offer from the FBI. As a profiler."

"You think about saying yes to it?"

Kris looked up at Bosley, feeling a bit guilty for not telling them earlier.

"I've already did. I'll work four more months, and then I'll move to the east coast."

"But… What? You're leaving the agency?"

Kris nodded. "Yeah. It's time."
