FBI Headquarters – J Edgar Hoover Building – Washington DC – 1000 Hours local, Same Day
"Jack Hudson," answered Jack, picking up his cellphone. "Hey, Harm. Boy, that was quick. Mac must have made a big impression on Davison for him to roll so fast, huh? Oh, okay. I'll let Sue know. I'm not sure about Levi; we'll probably be able to leave him with friends. Okay, I'll get back to you." Jack replaced his cellphone in his pocket and grinned across at Sue, who had been watching his side of the conversation with a puzzled look on her face. He walked over to her desk to speak to her.
"Harm says Davison wants to deal, and their CO, Chegwidden, wants us to go down to Leavenworth with them on Monday. Do you think Levi would travel okay?"
"I don't know. It might be better to leave him here. It wouldn't be for long, would it?"
"Nah, a day, two tops."
"I'll ask Lucy."
"Okay." Jack turned back to his desk, but Sue touched his arm to catch him.
"What time on Monday?" she asked.
"We have a flight out of Pax River NAS at 9.00am. I guess it's a little earlier than you usually get up, but I'd set your alarm for around six, just to make sure we get on the road before the rush hour."
"In our apartment, that's a luxury, Jack," Sue laughed, and Jack raised an eyebrow in question, so Sue explained. "Levi goes off before my alarm; he hears the alarm from the guy below our apartment when he gets up for work at a bakery."
"And what time would that be?" Jack asked, smiling.
"Try 4.00am!" Sue replied, leaning down to pat Levi, who had sat up at the sound of his name being mentioned. "It's okay, though, isn't it, Levi? It means we get free picks on the bagels and doughnuts!"
"Ah, so now I know have a secret stash!"
Sue nodded. "Fresh baked, every morning!"
"Remind me to call in next time I'm by your place," Jack grinned, and walked off, leaving a bemused Sue to watch his retreating back. Levi made a huffing sound of his own, as if agreeing with Jack, and then flopped back to his place on the floor under her desk. At that moment Lucy walked into the office and crossed Sue's line of vision while going to her desk.
"Aha, just the person I'm looking for!" exclaimed Sue, standing up to follow Lucy, who turned and smiled.
"What is it, Sue?"
"Jack and I have to go to Kansas on Monday, and I wondered if you would look after Levi for me? Just for a couple of days."
"Sure, no problem." Lucy signed for 'no problem' as she spoke the words. "What's the occasion?" she asked.
"Jack and I have been asked to travel down with the two JAG officers we've been working with regarding Sadiq. One of the navy guys down there wants a deal. We could be back on Monday. Tuesday at the latest."
"Like I said, no problem. How about we have a movie night tomorrow? Pizza, popcorn, beer."
"Sure. My treat." Sue clapped her hand in a high-five against Lucy's in agreement.
"I'd like that, and I get to pick the movie this time." Lucy had howled with laughter the first time she had watched a film on television with Sue. With the volume turned down, Sue interpreted the words her own way, adding some that were definitely not in the original script! It was a novel way to watch a film, and gave Lucy an insight into Sue's world; that of a person who was deaf.
Sue nodded, turning back to her desk. Lucy touched her shoulder to make her stop. "Want to invite Jack?" Lucy added, casually, watching her reaction.
"I don't think so… I'm sure he has other plans," Sue replied hesitantly. Although she and Jack had acknowledged the growing feelings between the pair of them, he hadn't made any further attempt to kiss her again after the other evening. Though, admittedly, neither had she. It wasn't something she was comfortable with, having little experience to draw on
"Let's ask him!" Lucy replied, calling out to Jack before Sue could make a grab for her to protest.
"Lucy? What is it?" Jack looked up from his computer screen at the sound of his name being called.
"I'm dog-sitting for a few days, seeing as you guys are jaunting off to Kansas, and so we're having some pizza and a movie tomorrow. Want to join us?"
"Er… I… sure! I'd love to. As long as it's a good movie choice, nothing too mushy."
"Oh, believe me, Sue can turn any movie into a comedy… it's all in the words. Trust me, you'll like this. Bobby, how about you too? Want to see a film through Sue's eyes?"
Bobby grinned widely, and nodded. "Yeah." He turned to nod at Lucy, and suddenly realised what she was doing. Her comment to him a few weeks ago came to mind, when she was asking about Jack and his on-off girlfriend, Ally. Lucy had asked him to check out whether Jack and Ally were 'on again', and to keep her posted on the situation. So, it was Jack and Sue she was match- making for. Well, they made a cute couple, and who was he to stand in the way of true love, if that were the case. Judging from Lucy's expression, she certainly believed it was!
"Okay, it's a date!" Lucy clapped her hands at her success, and glanced between Sue and Jack, who were looking anywhere but at each other. For Jack, the word 'date' had brought up memories of their kisses a few days before, and the change in their personal relationship. While Lucy had tried to pry every last bit of detail from Sue, it was with a disappointed glance at Levi that Lucy finally gave up. 'If only you could talk, Levi,' Lucy had spoken to the dog in all seriousness, and even Sue had to relent and laugh at the expression on Lucy's face. In the interest of continued good friendship Sue let slip that Jack had kissed her hand, in a most genteel manner. Lucy's eyes had lit up, the romanticism of the gesture making her gush. Sue considered it prudent not to add that Jack had walked off and then turned back to kiss her senseless!
"Okay, let's get some work done here, folks. Sue and I will hopefully be bringing in some research work after Monday. We're still after Sadiq, and the new arms he's trying to buy, so we concentrate on clearing up other cases to leave us as clear as possible to work on any Al Qaeda leads." Jack called his team to order, and then carried on with his own work at his desk. The room became busy with the various case assignments that were worked on.
After half an hour Sue got up from her desk to go down to the research lab. There were some results she was waiting for and she thought it would be quicker to go chase them up herself. As Levi got to his feet to follow Sue, Jack glanced up to see the pair of them disappear from the office. He caught Lucy watching him with a smile on her face, and so he returned a slight grin, and then continued with his work. After another half hour he noticed that Sue had not returned. Looking across at Tara he called her over.
"Sue went out about an hour ago. Do you know where she went?"
"No idea. I do know she had some information coming in from research, maybe she went down there."
"Okay, I'll go check. I need to ask her about our trip to Kansas on Monday."
"Sure. If she comes back before you, shall I tell her to stay here?"
"Yeah. I"ll be back as soon as… " Jack stopped as Lucy came back into the office. Her face was somber, and her voice thick with tears. "Lucy? What's wrong?"
"Oh, Jack… it's Sue! There was a hit and run, outside the building. Levi's okay, but Sue was hurt. She's been taken to Bethesda."
"I'm gone. Tara, try to find out what happened, will you? And tell Bobby to meet me at the hospital."
"Already done. Go! Tell Sue we all love her, and we'll be by later."
Too late. Jack was already gone
