NOTE: Just so you know, I've never been out of the country, so I'm not 100% sure on what the procedures are. Hopefully what I've written is correct, or at least close to correct! I know it majorly changed after 9/11.

"Thank you Jesus!" Mya exclaimed. Everyone looked at her. "Jack and Sue are found! They're in Canada, and are on their way back!"
"How on earth did they get to Canada?" Josh asked, confused.
Mya shook her head. "They don't know any more details than that. I guess we'll find out all the details tomorrow evening at the party!"
Maddy frowned. "But what about the guy they were trying to catch?"
Mya shrugged. "He obviously got away, good riddance. It's better to have that horrible man on the loose and Sue and Jack safe, than the man in prison, and something horrible happen to Jack and Sue."
Maddy and Josh nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to go send out those invitations!" Mya exclaimed happily, slightly jumping before she wheeled around to her computer.

Soon, they arrived in Gananoque. Matt and Marianne dropped them off downtown, and they continued their trip. Within a few minutes, they spotted a taxi driving down the road, and flagged them down.
"Hi." Jack said when the driver rolled down his window. "We're FBI agents that were taken hostage, and are trying to get back to New York. We have no identification, but promise that you will get paid when we arrive in Watertown."
The driver looked suspiciously at Jack.
Sue quickly eyed the name of the owner on the side of the cab. "Vince, please, we're tired, and just want to go home. Jack here might have a concussion, and we can't have that checked out until we get back to the US. Please." She gave the most pleading look she could muster up, despite feeling exhausted.
Vince looked at her, and finally giving in, allowed them to ride in their cab. The two were grateful, and stated that as they got in the car. They were so close to being home, they almost could taste it.

Bobby and Myles were in the car on the way to Watertown to meet Jack and Sue when both of their phones dinged. Myles looked at his phone, since Bobby was driving. He shook his head and laughed.
"What is it?" Bobby asked, taking quick glances at Myles.
"That Mya." Myles replied.
Bobby smiled. "What did she do now?"
"Just make a New Year's Eve party."
"And what's wrong with that? I assume we're all invited?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah, but there's a hitch." Myles said.
"Oh, what is it?"
Myles smiled widely. "You'll see."
"Hey, you're going to make me wait until I stop to see?" Bobby asked, a bit annoyed by Myles' teasing.
Myles nodded. "Yes."
Bobby pursed his lips. "Not fair."

When the taxi arrived at the border, both Sue and Jack took in deep breaths. When they were stopped up, Jack told the story to the security man. The man looked suspiciously at him.
"Call my friend, Agent Bobby Manning, he can confirm all this information, and also send pictures of our ID's, and FBI badge and ID cards, and anything else you need."
The man continued to eye him, but wrote down the number of Bobby's cell phone.
Jack and Sue looked at each other, hopeful.
?-?
Bobby's phone rang, so he pulled off on the side of the highway to answer it.
"Agent Bobby Manning."
"Hi, I'm Eric, calling from the Canadian-United States border. I have two people-"
"Agent Jack Hudson and Sue Thomas, yes. I can send you their identification."
"Uh, yes." Eric replied, sounding a bit surprised that he knew what he was going to say.
Bobby sent the photographs that he'd taken before they got on the road.
Once Eric had reviewed them, he replied, "Ok, thank you.", and hung up.
Bobby looked at his phone. "OK?" he hoped that meant Sue and Jack were still coming. Then he remembered something else.
"Since I'm stopped, I probably should look at that text."
Myles just smiled.
"Oho! No wonder why you kept this a secret!"
"I already know what I'm doing. Do you?" Myles asked.
Bobby smiled. "Maybe."
