The first thing Jack did was drive Sue to the hospital. She tried to tell him that she was fine and that she wasn't hurt but he wasn't hearing it. He wanted to make sure that she didn't suffer any injuries, especially after being knocked out by the bodyguards.

After the necessary tests were run she was released. She was given some pain medication for her headache, but everything else was fine and Jack was glad she was okay. Their next stop was the bullpen to pick up Levi who was there with Lucy and Tara. When Sue walked in they all rushed to her side. Levi jumped up, excited to see her. "Hey Boy! I missed you too." She said rubbing his ears.

Lucy and Tara both gathered around her and they each gave her a hug. "We were so worried about you Sue, are you okay?" Lucy asked as tears filled her eyes, and Sue nodded telling them that she was fine thanks to Jack.

D came over and informed them that they had caught all of the suspects who were involved in the case Sue was working on. They just had to fill out the reports and then the case would be closed, which meant that Sue could go back to working with her old team.

They all rejoiced at the news and gave each other high-fives all around.

Jack was very quiet during the car ride home and Sue began to worry. When they entered the apartment, she turned to him and signed. 'Are you mad at me?'

He hung up their jackets and then took her hands in his as he led her to the couch. "I'm not mad at you Sue. I'm angry with Tom. He was the one in charge and he's to blame for putting you in danger. I knew what kind of guy he was and I knew that I couldn't stop you from working with him since you already accepted the assignment."

She signed 'sorry,' making the circular motion over her chest.

"I'm sorry too," he said and signed. "I've been busy with my own case and we never had a chance to talk. Maybe if I was available this could have been avoided."

"It's not your fault Jack. It's over now, lets just put it behind us."

"Sue, I've never been so scared in my life. I know that I've come close to losing you in the past and it was the worst feeling in the world. I love you so much and if anything were to happen to you….." Words failed him as he tried to voice his emotions. But Sue saw it written all over his face and in his eyes, which had now glazed over with tears.

She squeezed his hands which were still holding hers. "I love you too Jack. I should have told you what was happening or left you a message. I think we should make a promise that if something unusual comes up in a case we should let each other know about it and where we will be."

He nodded, liking the idea. "That sounds good."

'O.K.,' she signed.

Jack held his arms open to her and she moved into his embrace. His lips found hers and he ran his tongue along her bottom lip seeking entrance. She granted it easily meeting him halfway, their tongues engaging in a sweet dance of love. They both moaned in unison, as they took the kiss deeper.

After long moments, they eased the kiss and pulled back for some much needed air. She snuggled into his embrace, laying her head on his chest. He loved being with her like this. He never wanted to let her go as he held her close to his heart.
