Back at it again. BOOM!
"So… Is your dad stepping in for you at the bar tonight too?" Jack asked quite hopefully as he lifted his leg up on the couch with him.
"No…" Michelle sighed as she leaned on the wall beside the door. "I'm not that lucky…"
"What's your stand on customers who spend all night nursing on one beer and a shitload of coffee?"
"Love them…"
"I'll be by a little later then…" Jack winked, "Just a few things I need to sort out first…"

"So you're not up for a ride back to California, huh?" Matty asked.
"No, an hour plus in a car to get to the airport and almost three hours in a plane sounds like some form of torture…"
"So it has nothing to do with that lady Mac told me you hung around with?"
Jack hadn't expected that and almost dropped his phone because of the shock. "He told you?!"
"He might have given me a heads up on the matter…" Matty informed.
"How? What?" Jack almost stuttered, "What did he say?"
"Nothing much. Told me you had a woman over late, and that she stayed to the next morning…" Matty revealed.
"He told you?" Jack asked once more, he really couldn't wrap his mind around it.
"Yeah, shouldn't he?"
Jack shrugged to himself. "No problem, but how could he know?"
"It's Mac we're talking about… The guy can figure out just about everything. You really shouldn't be surprised that he figured out that you had a visitor last night…"
"Guess you have a point there…" Jack nodded. "But okay… Do you mind if I stay here for a little while?"
"No, just tell me when you want to get back to the west coast and I'll book the flight. But you will have to fly commercial, okay?"
"Sure…"
"So, when do you want to get back home?"
"I've got a doctor's appointment the 14th… So I've got to be back by then…"
"So the 13th then?"
"Sounds good." Jack nodded, "Hope you're not mad…"
"Mad? Why on earth would I be mad?" Matty chuckled, "Have fun, Jack… See you in a couple of weeks…"
"Thanks Matty…"
"Hey, don't do anything I wouldn't have done, okay?"
Jack harrumphed, "Well, not many restrictions then…"
"Correct!" Matty laughed.

The first person Jack met when her stepped outside the motel room door was Mac. The younger agent was about to unlock his own door.
"Hi there…" the blond smirked, turning towards the older one. "Did you have fun last night?"
Jack knew there were no way to wiggle past the question. "Yes."
"Michelle, was it?"
"How'd you…?"
"When she brought you home…"
"But you were asleep!"
"No, I just acted like I was…" Mac grinned, "Is she nice?"
Jack nodded eagerly, "If you tag along you'll get to meet her…"
Mac shrugged, "Now?"
Jack nodded.
"Can I text you later? I need to get ready to leave tomorrow… Matty told me you said you wanted to stick around for a little while…"
"Yeah… You know… Leg's been acting up a lot lately…" Jack shrugged, even though both of them knew that wasn't the main reason.
Mac acted like he couldn't see straight through Jack's little white lie, "Okay, hope it feels better soon… But don't rush yourself…"
Jack nodded, "I'll hear from you later then?"
"Sure thing…"
Okay… See y'all later!
