Well as you may have noticed over the last few days I've been in the perfect mood for writing… That's 'cos I have to make up for the last weeks when I've been too busy with my studies (writing fanfics is much more fun anyways …) and also 'cos there's no new episodes on TV at the moment.

Thanks for the reviews! I always love to get other's opinion on my work.

While she was waiting for Agent Taylor who'd excused himself to go and use the bathroom Viv called up her boss. "Hey."

"Hey."

"We're on our way back. Could you please call up that Italian restaurant we were last week after work and order us some pasta. I'm starving!"

"Sure thing, but you won't have much time for eating. I think we may have a lead. We've just not been able to make much of it, yet. Shall I get lunch for both of you?"

"Yes", Vivian said without thinking. "See you at the office." She hung up and turned to go.

Not much later Agent Taylor caught up with her. They hurried back to the car, and again Vivian was driving.

"Jack says we may have a lead", she informed her young co-worker as they sat in the car. Then she remembered: "Oh, I forgot. I meant Agent Malone – so you understand as well…."

A big grin appeared on the younger agents face. "You think it's funny, don't you?"

"A bit maybe…" She smiled at him. She hadn't really realised how handsome he was. Not that for her he was really interesting in that way but he was definitely nice to look at!

The sun was still shining mercilessly onto the defenceless city. It was just after 2 p.m. and if anything it had even got hotter during the time they'd spent in that school. Viv could feel little pearls of sweat form on her forehead and prayed they'd be in the office quickly without getting stuck in traffic.

Turning her head she saw that Agent Taylor had leaned his head against the back of the car seat and had closed his eyes. He looked a little exhausted and she decided to ask if he was ok.

"I'm fine. Just a moment of dizziness. Must be the heat…" he tried to assure her, rubbing his eyes and running a hand over his face.

"Or maybe you're hungry? Remember what I told you this morning…"

Now he grinned again. "Could be. To be honest I had to skip breakfast this morning 'cos I was so nervous about my first day… Guess, I should have said yes before – when you asked me about lunch."

"Don't worry. I've ordered for you, too. I don't know what they're getting us, hope you'll like it."

"I'm not picky… I was just worried about what Agent Malone might think. It's my first day and I go asking the boss to order me some lunch…"

"You don't understand, yet, do you?"

"Understand what?"

"That we're a team. Jack may be the boss, officially. But inside the team he's just one of us. A friend. A colleague. You'll have to work closely with all of us, and you'll have to trust us…" She hesitated for a few moments. "That's what it's about, Danny."
