Abbie was sitting at her mahogany desk, her head in one hand and her
pen taping the open file in front of her. She wasn't having the best day so
far. In court the Judge set bail way to low, at least for her standards and
she had found out that one of the ADAs from downstairs would have to board
in her office for a while because of a leak in his. Now on top of all that,
she was working on a rape/ homicide.
Still taping away she heard three knocks on her door.
"Come in." "Thank God," she thought, "I need to get my eyes away from this file."
Jack opened the door wearing, as usual, his worn Levis, helmet in hand with his jacket draped over his arm. "Still working?"
"Yeah. I just want to make sure this guy gets put away."
"I figured that much." He turned around and started heading toward the door when he had the urge to ask her something. "You think you could scrape yourself off your desk for a little while and join me for a drink, maybe something to eat?" With that his eyebrows raised and a typical McCoy face crept up.
She knew she had to keep working, but how could she say no to Jack? "Sure, why not?"
"Great. You got a change of clothes. I just figured it would be more comfortable."
"Yeah, just give me a minute."
With that Jack left her office and waited. When Abbie opened the door Jack had to smile. "She looks so great in casual clothes," he thought. There was no way he could say that out loud. He figured he would either get smacked or Abbie would just go back into her office and continue her work. "Ready?" he asked.
"Yup"
"What do you want? Drink or eat?"
"How about both?"
"Ok, pub or restaurant?"
"How about you surprise me Jack? I mean you never really stop doing that anyway so why not now?" "Ok, a surprise it is." As a smile crept on to his face he knew just where to take her
* * * *
As the main doors to the building opened, Jack ran in front of Abbie and called a cab, and opened the door for her.
"How about we walk?" she stated.
"Fine with me."
For a minute of two both of them walked in silence. Abbie finally just had to say something. "Thanks Jack."
"Not a problem, I figured you needed a break."
'No, not just for this. Thank for everything."
"Abbie.it's not a problem. You know I would do anything for you." Jack thought for a second. That's not how he wanted it to come out, well he did, but not all at once.
Abbie looked up at Jack for a second, slightly confused but very happy. She had wanted him to say that for so long. "Thanks, that makes me feel really good."
Jack put his arm around Abbie in a friendly manner, but when he did, he noticed she didn't resist at all.
