Jack knocked on the door of Sue's apartment. He was disappointed when Lucy answered. "Hi Lucy, is Sue here?"

"No, she went to work." She knew she couldn't say anything about what Sue told her, but she wanted to grab him and shake him.

He looked down at his watch. "Already?" He asked and Lucy nodded. "Okay, I'll see you later."

When Jack entered the bullpen he didn't see Sue there. Bobby and Tara were already sitting at their desks. "Have you guys seen Sue?"

"I haven't seen her and I was the first one here." Tara replied.

"Lucy told me she already left for work this morning," he said.

Tara shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe she had to run an errand or something."

Jack was getting a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. It was like Sue was purposely avoiding him, he needed to talk to her right away.

Ted came around the corner and walked into the bullpen. "Jack, can I see you in my office."

"Sure," he said as he followed him back to his office. He sat down wondering what Ted wanted to talk to him about.

"I have some bad news, Sue was in here this morning and she asked me for a transfer."

Jack's mouth dropped open. He felt sick to his stomach and his chest began to hurt. He thought he was having another heart attack. "What?…. Why?"

"I thought maybe you could tell me that."

"I… uh …. What did she say?"

"Not that much, just that it was something she needed to do. She did look very upset and I let her have the rest of the week off."

"Ted, I need to speak with her and I hope I can change her mind."

"I will give you some time to straighten this out, but if you can't I will have to intervene and then I'll want to know the details about what has made her so upset. I'd hate to see my best team lose one of my best players." He said, and Jack nodded in agreement.
