"What the hell was that?" Jack said as he began running down the hall towards the office Sam and Kate were meant to be watching.

The others followed right behind him, they paused outside of the office and held their heads close to the door listening to what was going on inside, they could hear voices.

"I can't hear what they're saying" Danny said pressing his ear closer against the door.

"Sssshhh" Vivian said just able to make out the words being said.

"You have ten seconds to give me a reason as to why I shouldn't blow her brains from her head" Said a man's voice.

Vivian looked up towards Jack who closed his eyes trying to think what to do.

Kate looked over to Samantha who was trying to think of a way to get them out of the mess they were in.

"6… 5…" The man continued.

Sam finally came up with a idea, she wasn't sure it would work and it was really risky, if it didn't pan out the way she hoped they could all end up dead.

"4…"

Samantha looked back at Kate then slide her hand towards her thigh closer to her gun, none of the men had noticed as it was only the slightest movement. Sam widened her eye's at Kate then looked towards the man's crotch and back at her.

"3…"

Kate frowned she wasn't getting the hint. Samantha repeated the look this time with an expression which made her look as if she had just over strained herself trying to do something.

"2…"

Kate finally got the hint.

"1…"

Samantha gave the signal to move now with a nod. Kate nodded in return.

Samantha reached back and grabbed her piece. At the exact same moment Kate brought up her right leg with all the power she could muster and lodged her foot in between the man's two leg's. He howled with pain, when his finger hit the trigger, luckily he had started to fall already and the bullet skimmed Kate's head and hit the window behind her, as he continued to fall he dropped his piece. Sam had brought out her gun and aimed it at another man whilst standing quickly.

Kate closed her eyes and waited for the bullet to hit her. She heard the window behind her smash and let her breath out whilst looking behind her. Then she grabbed the man's gun, jumped to her feet and stood by Sam who was pointing her gun at one of the three men left standing, Kate with her two guns pointed at the other two.

"Look what happened" Samantha said looking at the three men standing.

"Tragic" Kate agreed.

"Who the hell are you?" One of the standing men said.

"The people who are gonna put ass behind bars" Samantha concluded for them. "Now drop your weapons, put your hands on your head and kneel on the floor"

At that moment the door burst from it's hinges and fell to the floor making a massive banging sound. Then Jack, Martin, Danny and Vivian rushed in guns aimed in front of them.

The four agents stopped in their tracks to see Sam and Kate standing their ground with guns pointed at the kidnappers.

"We're here to save you" Danny said as he viewed the situation.

"Oh great thanks, I mean a couple more seconds I think we would have really lost control on the situation" Samantha replied sarcastically.

"Well erm, good work you two" Jack said walking over to the young blonde tied to the chair.

Martin looked up to the ceiling and the panels of metal on the floor "Looks like you two really made an entrance"

"We try" Kate replied helping Viv cuff one of the four.

Jack untied the woman's hands and took the gag from her mouth.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I didn't think anyone was going to find me" She said with tears in her eyes.

"Did they hurt you? Are you alright?" Jack asked scanning her body.

She shook her head "No I'm fine"

"Alright, well then I guess I should take you back to your father"

She nodded "Yes please"

He guided her from the building and into the car.

Ten minutes later three city police cars arrived and took the four men away, there was plenty of swearing and threats but the agents ignored them, it wasn't like they hadn't heard it all before.

One of the men stuck his head from the window, "Jack Malone?"

Jack stopped, turned to face him "Yeh?"

"People who know me call me Striker. You know why?"

"Why don't you enlighten me" Jack folded his arms.

"Because I strike down whoever gets in my way no matter what and I can tell you now you're gonna regret ever dealing with this case, I promise you now. I will get out of this mess and when I do I can promise you I will hunt down each and every one of your team and make sure they suffer in the most inhuman way I can possibly do"

"And I promise you, you threaten me or my team again I will make it my personal mission to hire some one else in jail to make you their special play toy for as long as you are in there. Do you hear me?" Jack had his hand squeezing around the man's jaw who just smiled and laughed at the threat. The police car began to drive away "See you soon Malone!" He called from the window.

Jack stood by his team as they watched the car drive away.

The man that had been making the threat was the one that held the gun to Kate's head demanding a reason why not to shoot her from Samantha.

"You reckon he means it?" Kate asked leaning over to Vivian.

"I've never seen Jack fail to deliver a promise" she replied watching the car in the distance

"I didn't mean Jack I meant that guy, Rod Moore, do you think he'll get away from going to jail?"

"Highly doubtful, he was found in possession of a missing person, possession of a firearm without license and threatened to shoot two FBI agents"

Kate considered for a moment "Good point"

Martin opened the car door "What you up to tonight then, seeing your woman?"

Danny climbed into the other side "Yeh, taking her out for a meal to make up for last night"

"Oh yeh, your anniversary meal you never turned up to. How'd she take it?"

"Not as well as I had hoped but it worked out alright in the end"

"So are you ever gonna tell me her name?" Martin asked as he turned the engine on waiting for Samantha and Vivian to get in the back.

"You know her name" Danny was sure he had said it at one point or another.

"Danny if I knew her name then I wouldn't be calling her 'The woman' would I?"

"Mona, her name's Mona" Danny said

Martin raised his eyebrows and smiled, he was happy Danny had found some one who made him happy, he deserved it, now all he had to do was find some one who made himself just as happy.

Vivian and Samantha got into the back of the car, Kate and Jack were going to take Mr. Heifer's daughter back to him then meet the rest at the office.

"I think you are totally wrong" Sam protested as she sat down.

"Why, you two have been out that many times there must be something wrong with him" Vivian said raising her eyebrows and looking at Samantha who had blushed a little in the cheeks.

"Who's this?" Martin asked turning away from the building.

"Samantha and Keller, she's seeing him again tonight" Vivian explained

"There's nothing wrong with him" Sam repeated

"Maybe he's no good in bed" Danny said. The car fell silent and all three looked at Sam.

She crossed her arms in protest "I'm not discussing this with you lot"

"Why not? I mean we're like one big family, you should be able to discuss anything with us Sam" Danny said

"Alright then Danny I'll tell you if you tell us what that message left on your phone a couple of weeks ago was about and who she was"

Danny fell silent and thought for a moment, it was the message Kate had overheard when she had been working early "No comment" That was one memory he was desperate to forget, not wanting to discuss it.

"But Danny, we're like one big family" Samantha teased.

He mimicked her voice and what she said sarcastically "But Danny, we're like one big family"

Vivian sat their and laughed at herself "Your lives all seem so complicated with dating, at least I'm set and happy with my husband. So what about you Martin anyone you seeing?"

"None at present" he replied taking a turn.

"What happened to that really hot blonde?" Danny asked recalling seeing one at Martin's apartment when he called round a few weeks ago.

"She found out about brunette" He replied plainly.

Danny recalled Martin once saying he couldn't keep two women going for two weeks without blowing his cover and one finding out about the other, he had said this when they had been sent to San Diego. (Season one, Silent Partner)

"See that's what I don't understand, why go and spoil a relationship with on person with another person when you're happy" Vivian said expecting an answer from one of the other three agents.

They all fell silent, all of them had cheated at least once, Danny and Martin numerous times, they were men what could anyone expect and Sam a year ago with Jack on his wife.

"Oh, I'll take that as a no comment as well then shall I?" Vivian said.

Still no answer.

"Obviously then" she said quietly to herself.

Then didn't talk much after that, then arrived back at the office and started on their report for their latest case. Jack and Kate return about an hour after them.

Vivian sat at her desk and looked at the time, 4:28pm. It was time to go home and do what she had promised. She tided away some things on her desk, tucked her gun in her drawer then pulled her jacket on.

"You going?" Asked Sam after watching Viv pack her stuff.

"Yeh, I have a promise to keep" She replied.

"And what's that?" Samantha asked curiously.

"To go and decorate my son's room"

"Oh, what a way to spend your Sunday night"

"I know. Anyway have a good night tonight with Keller" Vivian smiled and turned to leave the floor.

Sam smiled weakly to herself, she had spent all day convincing herself that she did want to go out with Keller tonight, but she was having a hard time doing so. If she was to be honest Keller wasn't the man she wanted, the man she wanted was some one she couldn't have, and that's the way it was. She sighed then turned to look at her other team mates. Each had their head down writing their own reports on what had happened during this case. Only none of them knew that this case was only the start to something much bigger to come, something not one of them would be able to deal with nor cope with, the start to something which would cause much pain and grief amongst them.

Half past six Jack looked at his watch. He had just finished his paperwork, well the top piece of paperwork from the large pile he had sitting on his desk. He turned and look across the floor to his team who were still working, all but Vivian who had left a couple of hours ago. He took off his glasses and folded them on his desk, he picked up his suit jacket which was hanging on the back of his chair then walked out from his office and across the floor to his team.

"Alright, why don't you all go home now" He said standing in the middle of them.

"We're not meant to finish till seven but I'm not complaining" Danny said standing from his chair.

"I'll see you all tomorrow" Jack said, he turned to leave before taking one last look at Sam. He closed his eyes remembering her scent, the touch of her skin, the smell of her hair. He had heard from Vivian that she was going out with Keller tonight, images of her and Keller together instantly shot into his mind. He tried to shake the thought from his head but he couldn't. The thought of Keller touching her bare skin instead of him, kissing, laughing, spending a hot passionate night together sickened him to the pit of his stomach. He longed for her, just for one last night together, if not forever. Why he ended it? He himself had no idea. That was one of the first things he regretted in his life. He knew although it killed him to admit he did the right thing, no matter how strongly he felt for her, or she felt for him they wouldn't be able to make it work whilst working in the same team. They both loved their job so much they wouldn't be able to ask the other to give it up. Sam caught his gaze and held it for a moment before he hung his head, slipped his hands into his pockets and walked away.

Martin walked over by Kate's side "So where'd you wanna go for a drink?"

She looked down at her clothes then back at him "Well actually I was kind of hoping I could go home for a shower first."

He looked her up and down, falling through the vent shaft had gotten her pretty dirty, dust in her hair, black marks over her clothes, couple of off coloured marks across her face too. Sam also had these. He nodded "Alright, go and shower then I'll meet you about eightish at a little bar called Frankie's, you know where that is?" He asked

She nodded "I've never been before but I know where it is yeh".

"Great see you in a bit"

She flashed him a smile then grabbed her jacket and took off. With the spare hour and half he had he decided he should probably go home and shower first too. He went to leave when he was joined by Danny who walked by his side.

"You doing anything tonight?" Martin asked pressing the elevator button.

"Taking Mona out for dinner to make up for last night"

"You gonna turn up to this one?" Martin joked.

"Very funny. What about you, what you doing tonight?"

"Just going out for a couple of drinks with Kate" he replied plainly.

"As in a date?" Danny smiled to one side.

"No, as in two friends going out for a couple of drinks." He explained.

"So… you don't have any feelings for Kate then? As in other then friendly feelings like you have for the rest of us"

Martin raised his eyebrows and looked a Danny "No, I don't have any feelings for Kate"

Danny studied Martin's face for a second "You know the best thing about being your best mate is being able to tell when you're lying. You're totally into her aren't yah"

Martin laughed quietly then smiled to himself trying to ignore Danny.

Danny carried on "Oh come one, I've seen the way you two act around each other, the odd compliment, the little smiles, the buying each other drinks and food when you nip out, the teasing, the checking out of the other one as they walk away, the instant interest as you find out the other one is currently seeing someone, the quick glances to see what the other one is doing, the way you always seem to get paired together on a case, the way the two of you dance around the one another when on a case. And don't think I didn't see you watch her with that guy she was dancing with last night, then up together alone on the balcony. But going out for drinks alone…"

"You finished?" Martin asked pressing the elevator button again.

"Pretty much" Danny nodded.

Martin went to reply as the elevator doors opened at the exact moment revealing a flushed Cindy standing in it.

"Oh Martin, I was actually on my way up here to talk to you" She said

"Now? I was actually on my way home, can't we do this tomorrow?" He asked as Danny walked into the elevator.

"But you said this morning we could talk tonight" she pushed. Cindy was fully aware that Martin was going home to get ready for going out with Kate, something she wanted to try and prevent from happening.

"Oh yeh, I'm sorry, sure we can talk" He went to turn to go back to his desk.

"Actually could we talk downstairs in the forensics lab, I could do with a hand as well moving some things?" Danny noticed her playing with the bottom of her top, a sign of nervousness.

"Erm… Sure" Martin joined the other two in the elevator the got off on the forensics level before saying bye to Danny.

Jack opened the door to his place switched on the TV, pulled a beer from the fridge and collapsed on the couch. He flicked through the channels trying to find something which interested him, but the only thing he could think about was Detective Keller touching Samantha's body. He cursed himself for thinking about Sam again, every time he did it brought back memories of how happy he was with her.

Kate entered her apartment, chucked her keys on the glass table then walked through the apartment checking for any signs of her room mate. No one home. She poured herself a glass of water and grabbed a doughnut from the paper bag on the kitchen counter. Then she went into the bathroom and turned the water on, whilst letting it heat up she took off her clothes and wrapped a bathrobe around herself. She tested the water, perfect, she went to take her robe off when she heard a knock at the door. She tied her robe back on and walked across to open the door. She opened it to see a man standing on the other side, maybe her height or a little shorter, glasses, quite spotty skin, short black hair, well dressed, reminded her of the nerds from high school.

"Hi, can I help you?" she asked curiously.

He stretched his arm out and lent against the door frame. "Caitlin Valentine?"

She instantly recognised the voice "Who wants to know?" it was the man from the masquerade party.

"My names Joseph Stansfield, it's a pleasure to meet you" He took her right hand and kissed it gently, she felt odd and pulled her robe tighter around her body.

"As in Stansfield and sons, the company that owns the line of hotels and restaurants?"

"The one and only. I would be one of the sons"

She wasn't sure how to reply to that, so she just smiled slightly.

"I know this seems a little weird me coming to your apartment but you really caught my attention last night, and then when we danced I felt some sparks between us so I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner sometime"

She stood there blankly, she couldn't believe she had a millionaire standing there asking her out and all she could think was that she was sure he was taller and better built last night and how much better looking he was the previous night.

He wasn't really sure how to take her blank expression "Should I take that as a yes or no?"

She opened her mouth to speak then closed it again. His smiled dropped slightly and she felt bad for him, he had come all this way to her apartment to ask her out for dinner and all her got for an answer was a blank face. "Sure, why not. Dinner sounds great" she gave in and told him she'd go, she tried to sound happy about it.

"Oh thank god I was so sure you were going to say no, I mean I may be rich but sometimes girls say no because of how I look and because of my interests"

"Don't thank god yet" She said under her breath.

"Sorry?"

Shit, cover that quickly "I was just wondering when you wanted to go out"

"Do you have plans tonight?" he asked

"I'm going out with a friend tonight sorry"

"Well what about tomorrow night?"

She quickly racked her brains for something, she couldn't think of anything she had planned, Why can't I think of anything she thought to herself, she gave up "Tomorrows great" she tried to sound as excited as what he was.

"Excellent, I'll swing by tomorrow night to pick you up"

She faked a smile "Okay"

"Well then, good night"

"Good night" she replied.

He smiled then walked off down the hallway. She closed the door and lent against it and closed her eyes and sighed, not exactly what she wanted to do tomorrow night but never mind, it was only one dinner, one night, one time. She bit her lip and walked back towards the bathroom for a shower whilst rubbing her forehead.

Sam slipped on a light blue thin sweat top and a pair of jeans then walked into the living room where she picked up her ringing cell phone.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey Sam, it's Keller" he said on the other end.

"You alright?" she asked

"Yeh I'm fine it's just I've been called into work so…"

"So you can't make tonight" she finished for him.

"Yeh I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you"

"You best do" She heard a laugh on the other end then hung up. She was relieved yet disappointed at the same time. True Keller wasn't her first choice as a partner, maybe her second but she did need a night out, a little fun, which she knew she was going to get with him. Oh well she thought to herself. Only minutes after getting dressed she got undressed from her going out clothes and into her sweat pants and baggy top, made herself a mug of coffee and flicked the TV on to see a chick flick just beginning.

Danny dressed in his suit and tie, gelled the hair, splash of aftershave, brushed his teeth then smiled at himself in the mirror, he had spent the day looking forward to spending a nice quiet night with Mona and he wanted to prove tonight just how much he loved her, in a physical way of course.

He switched his lights off, closed the door then jumped down the stairs into his car and drove further up New York to the edge of Manhattan where Mona would be waiting in her apartment for him. He turned right and parked his car at the side of the street. He climbed from his car and walked up to the front of the building where the doorman opened it for him.

"Good evening Mr. Taylor" He said politely. Danny had been around a lot lately, so much that the doorman even knew his name.

"Hey Joe" Danny replied and passed across to the elevator where he waited until he reached the ninth floor. He made his way down the hallway until he came to apartment twenty.

He knocked on the door twice then waited as he heard foot steps closing towards the door.

Mona opened the door and lent against it, then smiled at her boyfriend, whose mouth dropped open at the sight of her.

Danny's eyes were wide open along with his mouth. He began to drool. He looked at his girlfriend who was wearing a little red corset, black stockings, a black feather boa around her neck, bright red lipstick and little heels. She licked her lips then pressed herself against him. She kissed his cheek gently then moved across to his ear.

Danny closed his eyes as she stroked his torso with her hand. He felt an instant tightness in his trousers around his crotch. Mona lowered her hand down there and smiled when she realised she had got him excited already.

"Danny" She said gently into his ear.

He struggled to speak "Yeh?"

"You're drooling" She stated as she looked into his eyes.

He wiped his mouth "I take it we're not going to dinner then?" He asked as he placed his hands on her hips.

"Good guess"

Danny walked forward gently pushing her backwards against a wall and shut the door behind him. She laughed a little. Then he slipped his tongue into her mouth and tasted her like he had longed for all day. Her tongue massaged his and vice versa. She slipped her hands to the front of his jacket and pulled it off of him. Then lowered them to undo the buckle on his belt. He pressed his pelvis against hers and pinned her arms to the wall. He slipped his lips down from her mouth and onto her neck, she moaned with pleasure. He let her arms fall freely then pulled one of her legs up and she wrapped it around his waist followed by the other. He used his hands to undo the lace on the back of her corset, when finished he pulled the clothing away from her body, leaving the top of her body completely naked. He carried her away from the wall next to the front door and into the bedroom where he lay her on the bed. She lay still, breathing deeply trying to catch her breath from the past few minutes of excitement. He slipped off her shoes and pulled the stockings from the legs. She was entirely naked, lying there waiting for him to give her entire bodily pleasure. She looked into his eyes and could tell that he was excited about what was going to happen as what she was. She climbed to her knees on the bed and was almost level with his height. She unbuttoned his shirt as quickly as she could before ripping it off him. Then she lowered her hands and unzipped his trousers, kissing just above his trouser line. As she slipped his trousers down he ran his fingers through her hair, smiling with pleasure. Within seconds he was also undressed, he pushed her against the bed and fell on top of her. Their lips locked again kissing at a fast constant rhythm. She pressed her hands against his back pressing him harder against him, then enjoyed the rest of their time together as he slowly penetrated her pelvis giving her instant pleasure.

Martin carried the last box into the forensic safe and placed it to the ground round the back.

Cindy followed him into the safe and quickly pulled the door shut behind her. He had his back to the door for only seconds when he heard it slam behind him. He turned quickly on his heels to see Cindy standing in front of the safe door.

"What happened?" Martin asked quickly noticing that Cindy wasn't even trying to open the door.

"The door shut behind me" she explained

He walked towards it "Then we'll just open it again, simple as" He went to push the door and it didn't open.

"The handle for this side fell off the other day" She said walking up beside him.

"And you didn't think to put it back on?" He tried again harder pushing the door, he was getting frustrated.

"Look, I'm sorry but I didn't think a couple of days would matter"

"HEY, OPEN THE DOOR" he shouted smacking his hands against it.

"It's not worth it Marin no one else is in the lab tonight and the safe is sound proof" Cindy said touching his arm.

"So how are we meant to get out then?" He said moving away from her and resting his hands on his waist.

"We just have to wait for some one else to open it"

"And when's that going to be?"

"No one else is working tonight, so probably in the morning"

"So we have to spend the whole night in here?" He couldn't believe it.

"Why, do you have a problem with me?" She asked seeming hurt.

"What? No it's not you. I'm just meant to meet some one tonight is all" he explained.

"Who?" Cindy pretended to be clueless.

"Kate and instead I'm stuck in a safe for the night" He answered folding his arms

"Why don't you call her?" She already knew he hadn't got his cell on him.

He went to grab it from his waist and realised it wasn't there, he sighed "I left it on my coat on the table in the lab. I can't even call her to let her know I won't make it" He leaned his head against the wall and rubbed the back of his neck.

"I'm sure she'll understand" Cindy rubbed his back gently and smiled weakly, secretly inside she was so happy she had prevented Martin from seeing Kate tonight, after a couple of drinks who knew what the two could end up doing.

He walked away from her and frowned, then sat on a box in the corner. "Well then I guess all we can do is sit and wait"

"At least we have each other" Cindy sat by his side.

"Great" Martin said under his breath.

Kate sat at the bar and looked at the clock on the wall which read 8:35pm. She sighed and ran he hands through her hair then leant her head in her hands.

The bar tender walked up in front of her, he took her empty glass "You want another orange juice or you want an alcoholic drink this time?"

He was short, medium sized, wearing a white tank top and a thin green shirt, and a little bit of thin brown hair surrounding his bald head. He hadn't shave in a few days and had the lines around his eyes and mouth showing his age, late forties.

"Ah, what the hell looks like I've been stood up so I'll have a vodka"

"Vodka it is then" He brought a small shot glass and a bottle of vodka on the bar. He poured the shot glass full of vodka and pushed it towards her. She raised her eyebrows at him and pushed it back, and pulled the bottle towards her.

"I think you got that the wrong way round." She put the shot of vodka in his hands "You can have that on me"

He smiled and downed the shot whilst she took a swig from the bottle, after pulling a disgusted face from the taste, the man smiled at her.

"So who stood you up then" He asked throwing a towel over his shoulder and leaning against the bar.

"A work mate" she took another swig "So much for FBI agents being reliable hey?"

He paused "FBI, you must be talking about Mr. Martin Fitzgerald"

"You know him?" She asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yeh he comes in every now and then, he seems like a decent guy"

She just smiled and nodded, moments later she brought out her cell and dialled his number, all she got was voicemail.

"You gonna take off then? I mean what's the point in staying if you can't find where he is" He asked

"He might just be running late, I'll give it another ten minutes".

The bar tender looked at the clock on the wall reading 11:56pm, he walked back over to the bar where Kate was sitting, well lying her head on the bar, playing with peanuts from the bowl, blowing them backwards and forwards.

"You still waiting for him then, you must be really good friends"

Kate just about lifted her head from the bar, with a paper packet stuck to the side of her face and handed him an empty bowl. "You're all out of peanuts"

He took the bowl and then the vodka bottle which only had literally drops left in it. She clung onto the bottle and held it tightly.

"I think you should leave the drink now" He pulled harder snatching it from her hands.

"Hey, hey, hey, excuse me, I am a paying c-c-customer, and I p-p-paid for your bottle of vodkaaaa" she waved a finger at him.

"Yeh and you are also smashed, I'm cutting you off" He walked round to the other side of the bar and helped her down from her seat.

"Cutting me o-off? Did it hurt?" She looked puzzled.

"No, don't worry, but I think it's time you go home, sleep it off yeh?"

"I think you should go home" she grabbed a door for balance. He walked her out to the street.

"Yeh I will if you do"

She looked up into his eyes "A-alright" She waited a moment "Say bye"

"Bye" He replied

"Bye" she repeated and turned and wobbled off.

The tender watched her attempt to walk off using everything in sight for guidance. He shook his head and walked back into his bar hoping she would make it back home safely.

Martin sat against the wall, head back, eyes closed thinking, just thinking about whatever popped into his head, mostly about what Danny had said earlier about him and Kate, maybe he was right. Maybe him and Kate were getting closer but he was sure that she didn't feel the same way, or if she did she wasn't showing as feelings to hint as such, or was she?

He heard a noise which disrupted his thoughts. It was the noise of metal rubbing against metal, then seconds later the door opened and a young man stood there with a clip board in a white coat staring at the two of them.

Martin shot up from the floor and ran over to the door, he patted the man on the back "Finally, if you weren't a guy I could kiss you" Then he grabbed his cell and jacket and took off. He flipped his cell open to find three missed calls from Kate and a message saying 'Where are you?'. He rubbed his forehead wondering what to do, he shoved his jacket on and decided he'd head for the bar encase she was still there, it was probably very unlikely but he best check.

Cindy watched Martin run off, he didn't even say bye, too busy checking to see if Kate had called and off to see her. Cindy's face went green with envy and she felt a slight anger build up inside of her. She had hoped to spend the whole night together, although they hadn't really talked much in the couple of hours, she hadn't planned what to say.

Sam lay in her bed tapping her fingers on the sheets trying to get to sleep, she had been trying for the last hour or so and was having no luck. She rolled over and looked at her alarm clock, it read 12:23am.

She sighed and turned over to try and sleep again when she heard a knock at the door.

"Who the hell?" She said quietly to herself.

She climbed out of bed and walked over to her front door, she opened it up to see and tired Jack standing on the other side.

"Hi" He said, he sounded tired.

"Hey" she replied, she looked confused at the situation.

He had spent all night since he had gotten home about her and Keller together and he needed to know if they had been together the thought of it had been driving him crazy. He had resisted the urge from coming over for hours and yet here he was, at her front door.

"Keller here?" He asked looking behind Sam into her apartment.

She shook her head "He cancelled, work"

"Oh" He replied plainly, there was an awkward moment of silent which left them staring into each other's eyes.

"Jack, it's half twelve, what do you want" She asked slowly folding arms, she felt nervous.

He wasn't sure how to answer that, whether to tell her the truth, or make up some kind of lie to why he was here.

"Jack, What you want?" She repeated.

This time he couldn't hold the answer in any longer "You" he replied staring into her eyes.


Quick question: Does anyone actually like where this is actually going or do you think i should do something else?
