DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sue Thomas FBeye or any of its characters, so if you recognize a person from this program or any other (I might put in a cameo here and there), know that I do not own them at all. All scenarios and people that you do not recognize, I own that, though they might be inspired from something else, but in no way is it copying them. If I am missing something in this copyright notice, please let me know!

KEY: Italics are a memory, and all caps is ASL. Sorry, some of my ASL grammar is bad. I only know a little ASL, so if anyone knows how to properly say any sentences I write in ASL, please let me know, and I will change it to be how it should be!

NOTE: Does anyone know Tara's childhood? I don't remember any episode elaborating on it, and I can't seem to find any pages online. I want to write about it in a later episode, but I don't want to rewrite something that has been already written. Thanks!

NOTE: I had realized after writing this story that New York is actually 1 ½ - 2 hours away farther than I thought. I had compared it when I wrote episode 4, and it looked approximately as long as Wisconsin, actually a little bit shorter, (which I know you can get from one end to the other in 4-4 ½ hours, I assumed it was about the same) I did not realize until I did an imaginary route from one pin to the other to find out it is actually 5 ½-6 hours away. Then I had to rewrite the story a bit, so sorry about that!

(yet another) NOTE: Now since you've all read 5 episodes so far, I want to make sure that I'm staying true to the characters that we all know and love. (I remember someone said that I was true to character in episode 1, but I want to make sure I'm still there) In my opinion, I've made Sue a bit wishy-washy (and that's one of the traits I hate about Amy from Heartland sometimes, don't ask me how Sue got there. I'm making sure she gets less wishy-washy in later episodes, though) and Jack more emotional than normal, but that's how I'm writing, and what I want to happen in the story, somehow, even though I don't really like it. Then again, it's been years since we've actually seen these characters, so maybe they've turned into that, but I want to get all of your opinions. Am I staying true to character? If so, who is the truest? If not, who is the falsest? I know there's sooooo much going on in each of their lives so it's a bit of a roller coaster ride (and a toooooon more in later episodes. I've been on a writing spree lately, so I've already written several episodes into the future! [and I sooo can't wait till you read episode 7! It's my favorite all-time! {that, and I think episode 9, which I'll be writing soon.}]), but I really don't want to veer off into something totally wrong. BTW, is anyone listening to the song with the end of the episode? Thanks in advance for letting me know!

(and pleaseee let me know your honest opinion! Even if you hate it! And don't tell me 'it's your story', cause I really need to know if my thoughts are put together the way I think they are!)

Thanks!

"Hey Mya, can you go run this down the hall?" Jack asked as he walked past Mya's desk.

"Sure!" she said happily, taking the manila folder.

Once out of hearing range, Jack said to Tara, "She's sure been different after what happened last week. It's like she's a completely different person!"

Tara nodded. "I think she was holding onto so much with her parents, once everything came down, her true self finally shone through. She is actually a very nice girl!"

Jack laughed as he went back to his desk.

As soon as Jack sat down, Peter and a young man came into the bullpen.

"Everyone, this is Joshua Rankin, your new agent for the team."

"Josh, please." The young agent corrected.

Jack quickly got up and shook his hand. "Jack Hudson, team leader. This is Sarah, our rotor, Sue Thomas, Myles Leland, and Tara Williams. Bobby Manning usually sits there, but he's out because of an injury right now, and this is Mya, our computer intern." He said as Mya walked in the other door. The moment she saw him, a big smile came up on her face, as did Josh's.

"Hi." They both almost whispered together.

Myles rolled his eyes at their exchange.

"Uh, is there a problem here?" Peter asked the two.

"No, just perfect." Mya said, still smiling and not looking away from Josh.

Sue waved for Jack's attention. "ME THINK MAYBE FIRST SEE LOVE." She signed, smiling.

Jack laughed. "DON'T SAY THAT."

"What did she say?" Peter asked Jack.

"Uh," Jack looked around. "She said she thinks it's love at first sight."

Peter raised his eyebrows. "As long as it doesn't get out of hand and doesn't affect their work, I'm fine with that. Just keep me updated."

"I will." Jack replied.

Peter turned and left.

Jack raised his eyebrows after him. "Interesting." Was all he could say.

Mya and Josh continued to look at each other, not speaking, nor moving.

Eventually, Josh parted their stare to go find his desk. Once he did, he sat down at his desk. He proudly smiled at it. This was his desk, and his desk alone. It was good to finally be here.

"Hi, I'm Tara." Tara mischievously smiled, extending her hand over Josh's computer.

Josh looked up and smiled. As he tried to get up, he realized the chair was coming with him. Everyone watching chuckled. He sat back down, confused. Josh tried again, still being attached to the chair.

"Guys, come on!" Mya said, realizing what was going on and running to Josh's side. "That's not very nice!" she frowned at everyone.

"It's just a little glue." Jack said through his laughter.

Mya frowned some more at him, then turned to help Josh come apart from the chair. After a few tugs, the two were released, without any damage, thankfully.

"Hi!" Sarah said, as two people came into the bullpen a few minutes later. Everyone except Sue looked up. She saw Jack get up, so she turned and looked in the direction everyone was looking. "Lucy!" she exclaimed excitedly. She was returned with a gloomy look by Lucy and Mark. Sue saw this, and asked. "What's wrong?"

"We need your help." Was all Lucy said.

"OK, why don't you both sit down?"

They both sadly smiled, and sat down in the chairs that were offered to them near Tara's desk.

"What's up?" Jack asked, arms crossed and leaning against the front of his desk.

"As you know, Mark is a lawyer."

Everyone nodded, except for Sarah, Mya, and Josh, all of which never met the couple.

"I just got sued for malpractice of a client I have never met." Mark briefly explained.

"How is that even possible?" Myles asked.

Mark shrugged "I don't know."

"I told him we need to see my friends at the FBI. I knew you guys would help with this."

Jack nodded. "Of course. Anything to help our friends. We just need a bit more details, from you, and the client."

"Of course." Mark replied, grateful that someone was going to help.

?-?

Myles and Josh were out to question Lacey Dobbins, the woman suing Mark for malpractice. She lived in New Jersey, therefore they only had to travel a few hours. When they arrived at her home, which was a nice home, but a bit run down for the neighborhood, it was already 11:00 in the morning. Soon after they knocked on the door, a woman with a toddler on her hip answered. "Yes?" she replied, almost impatiently.

"I'm Myles Leland with the FBI, and this is Josh Rankin. We would like to question you about your lawsuit against Mark Wood."

"FBI? Why are you looking into my lawsuit?" she asked.

"Because he claimed that you were never his client." Josh added.

"To hell he was! And I have proof!" she yelled. Her toddler looked like he was about to cry from her outburst.

"May we see this proof?" Myles asked.

She moved over to let the two agents in the house.

?-?

"Hey," Sue came over to her friend after Myles and Josh left.

Lucy smiled half-heartedly at her. "With what that woman is claiming, Mark could lose his job, or worse, get disbarred. Or even worse, go to jail." She said worriedly.

"Nothing is going to happen. We will find out what happened. She could be confused with another lawyer with a similar name, or just lying to get some money." Sue replied.

Lucy was almost in tears. "You know what she said? She said that he took advantage of her. On top of malpractice, that he took advantage of a client. That is not my husband. How could someone lie like that?"

Sue gave her friend a hug. "Everything will be OK. We will get to the bottom of this."

?-?

"Here." Lacey said as she dumped several inches of papers on the coffee table in front of the agents. They looked through some of the files. They seemed legit.

"May we take these back to the FBI to analyze them? I promise to bring them back." Myles asked.

Lacey shrugged in response.

"Thank you for your help. We will keep you informed." Josh said as he and Myles walked out the door.

"You better!" Lacey yelled after them.

?-?

While Myles and Josh were still out talking to Lacey, Mark got a phone call that he took outside of the room.

"Do you want some lunch? It's after 12:00." Sue asked her friend. Lucy sadly smiled and shook her head.

"There is nothing prior to this incident on Lacey. She's a single mother. I did find record of her case that Mark allegedly took. She was suing her ex for unpaid alimony, of which she lost the case." Tara explained.

Jack's phone rang, and he answered it.

Mark came back into the room. "That was Kiera. There is another malpractice lawsuit, and the client is again not my client." Mark said grimly once he walked back in the bullpen.

"Myles, hold on one second." Jack said to the caller he was talking to, and looked at the couple to hear an explanation of the new information. This case was getting deeper and deeper.
