"Hey Sam… fancy going for something to eat," Janet's voice broke into Sam's thoughts. Swinging round on her chair Sam smiled at Janet having not seen her for a few days.
"Sure… on one condition though"
"What would that be?" Janet smiled back.
"Lot's, and I mean 'lots' of blue Jell-O."
"Oh boy… that bad?" Janet's face suddenly lost her smile replaced by a look of complete and utter concern, knowing that her friend only had large amounts of Jell-O when something bad had happened.
"Oh you know how it is… meet a guy… like that guy… find out guy has a big… no make that enormous secret the just isn't scientifically possible."
"So… what's this enormous secret that's not scientifically possible?" that made Sam smile again thinking back to Adam and what he had said about not saying anything to anyone.
She just shook her head smiling then walked up to Janet and smiled reassuringly at her, "oh, it's nothing that important… come on that blue Jell-O's calling."
They both exited the lab with smiles on their faces but inside Janet had a funny feeling that Sam was not telling her something of great importance.
Once they reached the mess hall and chose their food, (Janet a cheese sandwich and Sam two helpings of blue Jell-O) they spotted an empty table in the corner and quickly made their way over to it.
"So are you going to tell me about this mystery man of yours then?" Janet asked as they sat down.
"Well… I met him in Paris"
"And"
"You're not going to believe this but he turned out to be an old friend of Daniel's from college"
"So you haven't seen him since you can back from Paris" Janet leaned forward on the table, her sandwich forgotten as she was now intrigued.
"Well that's where it get interesting… I didn't know that he was a friend of Daniel's until last night… We had all gone over to Daniel's for our weekly movie night… We had been there for about twenty minutes when there was a knock at the door and I went to answer it thinking it was the pizza's… boy was I wrong."
"Who was it?"
"It was him, Adam had come to the states to visit Daniel and came a day earlier then he originally intended… He thought he'd come round to arrange what they'd do today." Sam just shook her head thinking back to what had happened when she had opened the door that night then took a spoonful of her Jell-O.
"So that was the secret… that he's friends with Daniel, that doesn't sound that bad" Janet was confused at how that could be a blue Jell-O eating bad thing.
"Well that was one of the secrets but enough about Adam, I'll more than likely get an explanation tonight," Sam didn't know why but she had a really strong feeling that Adam was going to come for a talk later on that night.
"Well, I may just have to bring Cassie round for a visit" Janet smiled when she saw Sam squirm at the thought. "What you don't think I'd let my best friend start dating someone that I don't approve of?" Janet smiled again when Sam just looked at her gob smacked.
"Why do I not find that hard to believe" Sam smiled back her thanks for her friends loyalty.
Daniel was sat in his office working on the translation from PY2 760. He'd made some headway getting most of it translated, one part he had worked out said, 'The power of foresight will be granted to the worthy'.
He was just starting on the next part when the alarm that he'd set went off, he looked at it trying to think why he'd set his alarm for this early in the day. Just as he was about to give up thinking what it was about, putting it down to setting the wrong time a beeping started from his computer.
Looking over at the screen a message was floating around the screen 'GO HOME, MEETING ADAM'.
Finally remembering why the alarm had gone off for thanks to the computer reminder he got up from his chair quickly turned to put his computer on standby then left his office, the translation still laying heavily on his mind.
Driving home the only thoughts running through Daniel's mind were those of the translation, the alien writing seemed to have carved itself into his memories.
The drive home was completed on auto-pilot as when his mind got into the work mood his mind turned itself into tunnel vision mood. Before he even realised it he found himself standing at his front door.
He hadn't been in his flat long when there was a knock on his door, which pulled him out of his musings.
Opening the door he was greeted by the smiling face of Adam Person, "Hey Daniel… you ready to go?"
"Errr… yeah sure… Sorry my mind seems to be somewhere else this afternoon," Daniel half smiled at him but still his mind was still filled with the translation.
"Yeah… and I've got a good idea where… you know Daniel you haven't changed one bit since I saw you last… still obsessed with rocks rather than the people that lived around them" Adam shook his head in disbelief.
"Artefacts"
"Yeah… that's a definite, you haven't changed one tiny little bit," Adam laughed and was soon joined by Daniel. They threw banter back and forth about the past all the way down to Adams rental car, which they would be using for the afternoon.
They had been out for about 2 hours now and had stopped off in a Starbucks to grab Daniel a coffee fix. They had sat at a table near the window and Adam was talking about what he'd been doing since they last saw each other.
He had been talking adamantly for about five minutes now and realised that Daniel hadn't interrupted once, and when he looked at his face he noticed that he had a far away look in his eyes.
"Daniel"
When he didn't respond Adam tried again and when Daniel once again didn't respond. Adam reached out and shook his shoulder gently once again saying his name, this seemed to bring him out of his thoughts.
"Uh… What?… oh sorry Adam got lost in my thoughts there for a second… what were you saying" Daniel shook his head trying to clear his mind of the thoughts.
"Oh it was nothing important… Daniel why don't you head back to work and get a few more hours of translating in… I'll meet up with you another day… I'm in town for a bit anyway" Adam had to smile at Daniel being preoccupied and knew there was no getting his full attention back until he had accomplished what it was he was trying to do.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure… come on I'll drive you back to your place to get your car," Adam got from his seat shortly followed by Daniel and they quietly walked out to Adam's rental car.
