Chapter 6
Jack-L.A.
My plane landed early for once. I was glad to be home and anxious to talk to Sydney. I was surprised when I got home and she wasn't there. That child of mine needs to slow down. I thought I was working a lot. I wasn't home 15 minutes to find her calling me.
Dad? Did you just get in?
About 15 minutes ago. When are you getting home? I was hoping to go get some Italian tonight.
Dad, I'm not in town. Director Chase asked her to go to a conference with she and Dixon. I've been bored and figured that this was the most exciting thing I'd be doing for a while.
Oh, well, where's the conference? Anything interesting?
Uh, Canada actually. It starts tomorrow afternoon. So I really can't say how interesting. Chase asked me to see if you'd want to come up later tomorrow evening. She said that she'd have the agency plane waiting for you at noon.
Noon. I guess that shouldn't be a problem. I'll go into the office early and let Weiss know that he's in charge. That should make his day. So what exactly is this conference about again?
It's actually about the Patriot Act.
Oh boy. Yes, I know all about being held without trial.
Dad. It's information that we all should know a bit more about. Not to mention, you are the director now.
Yippie. Can you hear my sarcasim?
Ok, Dad, very funny. I know how much you love management. Anyway, I guess I'll see you tomorrow evening. I'll pick you up at the airport. See you then. Love you!
Love you too Sweetheart.
Sydney-Ontario
For wanting to give my dad his family back I feel like I just stabbed him in his heart. I hope he doesn't get to angry with me when he finds out what this "conference" is really about.
