Elizabeth chuckled loosely while they were dancing, calling Ressler's attention.
"What?"
"I still can't believe you're working with Tom!"
" well, you may not believe it, Liz, but I really do want to help you."
She rested her head on his shoulder as a silent sign of understanding. He breaths in deeply to reorganize the thoughts and feelings that went bezerk when she did that.
"Why do you still call him Tom?" He asked, curiously, and she looked at him again.
"I don't know. He was Tom to me. Thinking about him as Jacob would mean meet this whole new person. Right now I don't have the time to do that."
"But by thinking of him as Tom, does that bring... Memories of what you had? Feelings?" He tried so hard not to sound like a puppy left out, but she noticed something strange in his question, something that made her confess.
"I slept with him a few days ago." He looked down to hide his disappointment as she kept on going "I don't know, I was lost, hurt, confused. He once was my solid rock, I guess I wanted to feel like that again."
"You should find another rock, you know?" He said, as an offering. She smiled but then went serious as she pointed to somewhere behind him. He looked back to see Jacob hiding and signaling desperate for them. They move towards him.
"Why the hell did you turn off your com?" Jacob cursed, while grabbing Liz's wrist as if she was his possession.
"What is it?" Ressler ignored his question and was glad that Liz shook his grip off.
"People from the Cabal is here, they took the guy with the briefcase! I think they are on to us"
"Maybe they made me!" liz suggested, and was clearly nervous. Her only lead was moving away and she had no backup. Well, she looked at the two men in front of her, the most unlikely partnership, and was glad for both of them. "We have to find them!"
"This way, I know where they took him" said Jacob, and she followed him, grabbing Ressler's hand in the process. The three of them followed through the party towards a door who had been left open with a shoe, and only now did she notice that Jacob was barefoot. They went through the door, which closed with a click behind them.
Author's notes: very short chapter but I think I moved things to where I want to. Next part will be more intense so I'll write it when I get home (I'm working atm). May finish the story in a chapter or two. Please review! Tks!
