Jack realised he hadn't seen Constance. The very reason he had gotten himself onto this mess. He turned to agent Vaughn. "Vaughn, where's Con... er agent Waters?" "She got into another van escorting Sark. She should be on the plane home by now."

On the aeroplane home Constance could think of nothing but Sark. She knew they had apprehended him. He had done nothing but grin at her in the van. She knew he wouldn't say anything so the question was, would she? She wished Jack was there to help her but she didn't even know if he would want to see her again after what he had seen. "Damn Sark." She thought as they landed.

When they returned to the agency, Jack spotted Sark being lead from the van and into the building. He gave an eerie smile to Jack and walked with the agents. "What the hell is he up to?" Jack wondered as he searched for Constance. He spotted her on the way down the stairs to be debriefed. "Constance!" he ran over to her." "Oh agent Bristow. I'm just going to be debriefed" she said professionally. "Look what are you going to say?" Jack went straight to the point. "Well, I thought... I don't know. The truth I suppose." She looked away from him. "We need to get our story straight." He explained. "Story?" she looked confused. "You can't tell them what he did. It wont benefit the agency in any way so they don't need to know Constance." Jack looked at her. "I thought I'd..." tears welled up in her eyes. "oh Jack I don't know. I don't want to lie but I can't tell them what he did. I just don't know." She began to cry. "Ok. Just say that you kept drifting in and out of consciousness due to the sodium pentathol and I'll say the same. We needn't even say we saw Sark." Jack was reaching for a tissue when Sydney came around the door and bumped into them. "Dad hi. I was looki..." she noticed the teary agent in close proximity to Jack. "What's going on?" she turned to Constance "are you ok?" Constance took the tissue Jack had in his hand and said, "Yes I'm alright. I just got a little weepy thinking about Amanda er Agent Howship. She died a few months back and I think of her every now and again. Jack was just unfortunate enough to walk in on me." Sydney seemed to accept it and gave her a sorry look. "Hey look Constance. I'm trying to get to know people again and most of the people here are complete strangers to me. I'm having a little get together tonight and I was just wandering if you would like to come." "I'd love to. It'll occupy my mind." Constance gave a genuine smile. "My dads going to be there so..." she turned to Jack "...maybe you could bring her when you've both been debriefed." Sydney, happy with her match making turned and left. When she had gone Constance and Jack smiled to each other. "I think we've just been set up" "I agree. It's good Jack. At least we now know we have her approval and we may even be able to say it was her who bought us together" she gave the agent a coy smile took a deep breath and... "I have a debriefing to go to. It shouldn't take long. I'll see you in the parking lot when I'm ready." She turned and left. It was then that Jack knew they would be fine and that mother fucker Sark was nothing.

Later in the parking lot Constance felt better. A shower and a change of clothes and she was ready to go. She was waiting for agent Bristow to join her when a car pulled up behind her. It was agent Vaughn. He had been off for a month following the death and betrayal of his wife. "Hi Constance. Are you waiting for someone?" he queried. "Yes actually, I have a date." She smiled. "oooh Connie" Vaughn teased. "Shut up Vaughn. She joked back. There was once a time when they had gone out on a date. It had ended in disaster as Constance sprained her ankle and Vaughn was called away. They decided that they were meant to be friends from then on. Weiss, Vaughn and Constance had gone out as friends since then and the date was never mentioned. Suddenly someone grabbed Constance from behind and pulled her backwards... into a great bear hug. "Eric" she giggled. "Put her down Weiss, you'll mess up her pretty dress for her date" Vaughn once again teased and opened up the chance for Weiss to join in. before he could, Jack emerged from the building looking very calm and collect. "Beat it you pair." she whispered. "Oh my god is it Jack Bristow?" Weiss's eyes widened. "You finally got the courage to ask him out?" "Well sort of. I'll tell you later. Just go." She shot Weiss and Vaughn evil looks and Eric got into the car. Jack approached her and asked about Weiss and Vaughn. "Oh they were just teasing me about finally getting round to asking you out and I couldn't explain to them about the plane so they think..." her hand flew to her mouth. "Finally?" Jack's eyes widened as they got into the car. "I...I..." she gave up. "Yes Jack finally. I fancy the pants off you and I know you feel the same due to your little diary entry on your journal so don't play the innocent one with me Mr. Bristow!" Jack looked shocked then his expression warmed up. "Well now we both know where we stand, lets go to this party and hit it off." he mocked.

As they drove down the road, Constance jumped. "Stop the car Jack." She ordered. "What's..." "Just do it... please" she interrupted. Jack did as she said. "Wait here" Constance got out of the car and disappeared into the chemist they were down the road from. "Oh god." Jack muttered to himself as he realised what she was doing. Agent Waters emerged from the shop with a small paper bag and got back in the car. She opened the bag and took out a small pack of pills. She took one with a bottle of water she had also purchased and replaced them in the packet and into her bag. "I didn't think and then when I saw the pharmacy I realised." She explained. The ugly subject of Julian Sark and his violation had once again been raised. "Are you ok?" Jack asked. "I am now." She replaced her seatbelt. "Are we gonna get to this party or what?!"
