It has Thursday morning. Samantha woke up feeling all right, took a shower,
went to work. She was thinking about Danny and Jack, the night before. She
made an effort to convince herself that that day would be like any other
day.
* * *
Danny woke up thinking of Samantha, the situation the night before. He told himself to treat her like he had always: like if that day were any other day. He went to work as soon as he finished in the shower.
* * *
Jack woke up. Marie was beside him. He kissed her forehead and went to the bathroom. After he had taken a shower he went to check on the girls. It was early, but Hannah was awake.
"Dad...?"
"Yes honey, what is it?"
"Are yow okay?" She looked concerned.
"Why wouldn't I sweetheart?" Jack gave her a smile.
"No reason."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
He was about to walk out of her room when she said "I don't wanna see you sad."
All Jack could thing of was it was going to be hard, but Hannah interrupted his thought by saying "Because she's leaving, isn't she? Samantha I mean."
Jack froze. His daughter was in the right thing. He certainly did not know how to answer to such a comment, so he just gave her a nice look which comforted her and left for work.

Martin woke up thinking about how Samantha had acted since that Monday. Didn't feel like taking a bath so he headed to work. He was the first one to arrive. Then it came Danny, and Vivian. Martin tried his best to take stuff about Sam out of either of them, but got nothing.
Sam arrived. She felt the hole past week vanish as the rest pretended nothing had happened. She followed the flow: Made coffee for Jack and waited for him near the elevator. Danny was pleased to see her do that, and gave a smile which finished confusing his partner.
There wasn't much to do...there was luckily no missing person to find. They went into his office (J&S). She sat on his chair, behind the desk, and Jack on the coach on the other side of the room. They stared at each other with extremely meaningful looks.
"Have you got a place already?"
"Yes, near to the office."
"So you've been accepted."
"I don't know yet, they haven't answered."
"But you would move anyway, right?"
"Yeah Jack. I can't stay."
Danny knocked and went in.
"Sam this is for you," he said handing her a white envelope with the seal of the Department of Justice, the one of the FBI Headquarters too.
It was the answer she was waiting for.
"Thank you Danny. Hey...," she stood up before continuing "can you open in for me, tell me what is says?"
"No."
He walked out. She gave Jack a sorrow look, sat down, opened the envelope and begun to read.
"You're in."
"Yes I am."
"When are you leaving Sam?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Was 'disappointed' the word to describe him after she said that?
"You aren't going to give me one more week?"
"Jack!"
"I don't wanna lose you Sam."
"I can't stay. It's gone too far. But I will come back when's the time."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"Not really. I don't know what that was."
So the day went by.
"Jack, can you not tell Martin or Vivian 'till I'm gone? Please."
"Sure. I guess it wont hurt anybody."
"Thanks."
"You know, this morning I went to check on the girls before coming to work and I found Hannah awake. She knows you're leaving."
"I know."
"You know?"
