Chapter 12
2:45 pm
Jack walked into the small café and took a seat across from Carrie. She took a sip of her coffee. "You're late." She stated, looking annoyed.
"I know." Jack said, and glanced down the street, hoping Tru was staying busy. "I can't stay long." He added.
"Another rewind?" Carrie asked, looking intrigued.
"Yeah. Something like that."
"Need me to"
"No; I know all I need to know." Jack stated with a shake of his head.
"Then I guess you don't need me, hu?" Carrie asked, looking disappointed.
"You know, Carrie, you don't have to do this if you don't want to." Jack said, studying her looking for any sign of relief, anger, rejection, anything. She just picked up her coffee and took another sip.
"I know." She said. Jack sighed.
"I have to go."
"Hm…yes. I'm sure you do." Carrie said. Jack studied her for another moment, trying to figure out what she meant by her words. He stood up after giving himself a mental shake and left the café. Carrie watched him leave. Once he was a safe distance away, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed. She tapped her foot impatiently as the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"We have a problem." She said, watching Jack's retreating form.
