Jack and Sue held their breaths when they saw the man walking up to the car again.
"You're free to go. Just don't let it happen again." He said. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Believe me, we didn't want for it to happen the first time." Jack replied. Then the cab drove away, into America.
Jack smiled at Sue. "It's good to be home."
"ME TOO." She signed as she smiled widely at him. They were almost back home.

"So, are you ready for the party tomorrow?" Josh asked as he was grabbing his stuff to take home. It was a quiet day, and since it was all decorated, they decided to leave a bit early.
Mya nodded and smiled mischievously. "Yep."
Are you going to tell me why you're smiling?" Josh asked.
"Mya smiled wider. "Nope!" With that, she walked out of the bullpen. All Josh could do was laugh and shake his head.

Within the hour, Sue and Jack were in Watertown. They saw Bobby and Myles standing outside their car near a diner, and Sue ran across the street to give them a hug. It was so good to be back.
Once Sue let go of Bobby, he went over to the taxi driver and gave him his money, and walked with Jack to Myles and Sue.
"You ready to go back?" Myles asked.
"More than ready. Let's go." Jack replied, getting in the backseat. Sue followed.
On their way back, Bobby, who was not driving this time, turned around and said, "You're belongings are over there. I think you may want to check your phones." He smiled.
"Oh?" Sue said, grabbing her purse, and taking out her phone.
Jack laughed when he saw the text. "Tomorrow night is going to be interesting." He smiled at Sue. She smiled back.
"I can't wait!" she exclaimed.

Carla was humming though the things she needed to do for the day. No one called her to tell about what had happened, so she had no idea what was going on.
Just as she was finishing tiding up the living room, the doorbell rang, so she went to answer it.
"Why, Bob!" she exclaimed when she opened the door.
"Hi Carla." Bob replied.
"Come in!" Carla replied, moving so he could come through the door. He did, and they stood there for a few seconds. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
Bob shrugged. "I was in town, and so I went to visit Jack, but he wasn't home. So I thought I'd visit you."
"Jack and Sue and the team are out of town on a case-wait, how did you get my address?" Carla asked, confused.
Bob embarrassedly looked at her. "I had asked Bill, who had asked Jack, long before I even set foot in D.C."
Carla laughed. "Come on, sit down." She said, waving towards the living room.

It was after 1 when they arrived back at the dog race location. Once they saw the car, Tara and Howie ran towards the car.
"Are you guys OK? What happened?" Tara exclaimed as soon as Sue's door opened.
"We're fine. Jack just needs to be checked out. He might have a concussion." Sue explained.
"What?! How?" Tara asked.
Sue shook her head. "Long story. I'll tell you later. Right now, I just want to lay down for a bit."
Tara nodded, coming with her to the other car, and taking her back to the hotel, while the guys went with Jack to the paramedic tent.
?-?
"Sue! I haven't seen you all day!" Lucy exclaimed, then frowned at Sue's appearance. She looked exhausted, and her hair was a mess. "What happened?" she asked, noticing her friend's appearance.
Sue slightly smiled. "Long story. How about we go to our room, and I will tell you both what happened." She said, knowing she wouldn't get a wink of sleep until she told them.
"Please do!" The two women exclaimed.
"And then I'm taking a nap." Sue replied.
?-?
"Good news," Jack said, smiling, coming out of the paramedics tent. "No concussion."
"Great!" Bobby said, patting him on the back.
"Now, let's get out of here." Jack replied, starting to walk towards the car.
"Wait, you don't want to run the race?" Howie asked, confused.
Jack turned around, laughing. "No."
"But, but I trained you to do it! You were getting so good!" Howie countered.
Jack smiled. "I never wanted to do it, so I'm sort-of glad this happened."
"But-" Howie started as Jack, Myles and Bobby started walking towards the car. "Alright! I'll do it!" Howie yelled after them. All three of them turned around.
"You'll what?" they said in unison.
"I'll run the race."
"Now this I gotta see." Jack replied, laughing.
"Me too." Bobby replied.
?-?
Just as Sue was finishing up the story, Tara's phone rang. She walked away to answer it.
"And Jack's OK now?" Lucy asked.
Sue shrugged. "He was dizzy at first, but it wore off, and he seems fine now. We'll see what the doctor says."
Tara waved for Sue's attention. "That was Bobby. Jack's fine, no concussion, but that's not the best news. Howie's racing in Jack's place." She said, smiling.
Sue's eyes grew wide. "Howie?" Tara nodded.
"Howie in a dog sled race? This I have to see." Lucy said getting up.
"I'm with you. A nap can be taken later." Sue replied, getting up as well.
"Let's go!" Tara exclaimed.
