Things had been going great between Maggie and Jubal, there had only been a couple of nights that they hadn't spent time together due to Jubal being with the kids or Maggie spending some time with Kristen as she was preparing to come back to work. When Jubal and Maggie were spending the night together it was always at Maggie's place which lead to Jubal having even more stuff there now. Maggie was really enjoying getting to spend so much time with Jubal, neither of them liked spending nights apart and that scared her a little.

They didn't always travel in to work together as some mornings Jubal had to be in a lot earlier than Maggie and they were also being careful not to get caught. This morning they had travelled in together and were thankful that no one was around where they parked as it meant they could walk in to the building together as they could say they arrived in the parking garage at the same time. They were walking alongside each other when something in a car caught Maggie's attention and she realised it was Kristen who was sitting in her car, she noticed that she was actually crying a little, Maggie looked at Jubal

"You go on up, try not to let her see you. I'm going to go check in with her"

"Tell her to take her time okay? You guys just join when Kris is ready" Jubal squeezed Maggie's hand gently before he let go heading towards the elevator.

Maggie walked over to Kristen who had spotted Maggie making her way towards her car in her mirror, Kristen was wiping her eyes as she opened the door when Maggie was close. Maggie smiled softly seeing Kristen

"Hey, I wanted to come over and check in on you"

"I was doing good, then as I went to get out of the car it just hit me"

Maggie leaned against the car keeping her focus on Kristen "That's normal, this is your first day back, don't give yourself a hard time. It's going to take you a while adjusting to being back"

"I guess because I was actually excited this morning about getting back that getting upset just caught me off guard"

"Pulling in here made it real for you that you are coming back, it's been a couple of weeks from you were here. Do you want me to stay and go in with you?"

"You sure you don't mind?" Kristen was thankful that Maggie had stopped it did make the idea of going back in less daunting

"Of course I don't mind and take your time we are in no rush" Maggie smiled softly glad to see Kristen relaxing a little

Kristen checked her eyes wiping them gently with a tissue and she took a slow deep breath calming her neves "I'm ready, I think I just need to get in there now, the thought of it is worse than actually doing it"

Maggie stepped back so that Kristen could get out of the car "Well you aren't on your own for any of it, I'll be right there with you and the team are going to be so happy to have you back"

"Thank you Maggie for stopping and for just standing here calming my nerves"

"Hey we are a team and more importantly were friends, so its the least that I could do"

Kristen got out of the car locking it before her and Maggie made their way inside the building. Kirsten was quiet in the elevator and Maggie didn't force her to talk she knew that she was mentally preparing herself for walking back in to the JOC, they stepped off the elevator and walked towards the JOC. Maggie almost walked in to Kristen when she stopped walking so suddenly

"Kristen, everything okay?" Kristen was staring in to the JOC and Maggie followed her line of sight and realised she was watching Emily giving Stuart and OA a cup of coffee with one waiting for Maggie as well and all three of them were smiling and laughing. Maggie gently nudged Kristen with her shoulder "Hey, you are still an important part of this team, Emily is just helping out"

Before Kristen could reply to Maggie Stuart had looked towards the door and his face lit up when he seen Kristen standing with Maggie "Hey you" Stuart set his coffee cup down and made his way over to Kristen hugging her before she really could react. Maggie smiled so thankful for Stuart's reaction as she knew that it was exactly what Kristen needed.

Kristen smiled hugging Stuart back, she knew that no one would say anything about them hugging since they were partners and she didn't want to admit how good it felt to have Stuart's arms around her, it was grounding her and making her feel better about being back at work. She was also trying hard to not think about how long they had been hugging, she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Jubal

"Hey, there she is" Jubal was walking from the Conference room in to the JOC towards Kristen as the rest of the JOC started clapping. OA made his way over and hugged Kristen maybe a little tighter than he normally would, Jubal shook his head softly watching the way that Stuart and OA were with Kristen "Careful she is still in the healing phase"

Kristen shook her head laughing softly "I'm fine don't worry, you three don't have to look so worried I really am okay" Kirsten raised her eyebrow looking at Jubal, OA and Stuart as they all had a concerned expression looking at her

Emily came over and she smiled softly reaching her hand out to Kristen for her to shake "Hi, I'm Emily, I've heard a lot of good things about you"

Kristen smiled shaking Emily's hand "Welcome aboard, the guys have been keeping me posted on what's been happening"

"Yeah like Jubal having a girlfriend and how he still won't even tell us her name" OA joked playfully

Before anyone could respond Isobel had appeared and she had clearly overheard OA's statement who looked at Jubal to apologise, he was just trying to joke to try and relax things among the team. Isobel hugged Kristen careful not to hurt her

"Hey, it's great to have you back, your body can rest but on this one we need your brain"

Jubal wasn't angry at OA for what he had said he knew that he was just trying to joke to make things more relaxed after Kristen meeting Emily as things seemed a little tense. He was also used to it as they had been trying to get more information out of him ever since they found out he had a girlfriend. Hearing Isobel had Jubal stepping forward to the top of the JOC

"Okay listen up folks I need your full attention. Dan Osborne, many of you have heard that name and for good reason. Dan retired from the New York office 2 years ago after a career that was the stuff of legend. Twenty five minutes ago Dan's son Jake was taken just blocks from their home. There's no streets cams but we have teams out canvassing for witnesses and gathering any security footage from nearby houses. Let's check for similar abductions in the area, but we'll keep in mind that Jake is the son of an FBI agent. Dan did tours in counter intelligence, Violent crimes, Fugitive unit and the drug branch so no doubt he made enemies along the way. Let's see if any of them made credible threats again him and look into the kid, his friends, social media. Maybe what happened came from something in his life. Bottom line people, this is one of our own…..Let's find Jake Osborne"

As soon as Jubal had finished talking everyone in the JOC got to work straight away, Isobel looked at Maggie and OA "I'm going to go with you both to the Osbourne's house"

Maggie and OA were surprised when they heard Isobel but they knew better to question it when it was their boss, first Jubal joining them a month ago to tell Harry Bloom about his daughter and now Isobel was joining them. When they arrived at the Osbourne's house Maggie and OA were even more surprised and slightly confused when they seen Isobel hugging both Dan and his wife, clearly they all knew each other and very well. Isobel sat with Dan and Lori as she let Maggie and OA question them about any enemies that Dan might have. Dan gave them a list of names and Maggie took a picture of it and sent it to Jubal so that the team could look in to the list straight away. OA asked if he and Maggie could check out Jake's room, while searching the room Maggie found five thousand dollars hidden inside Jake's baseball glove. The Osbourne's told them that they have no idea where their son got that money that he wasn't in any trouble, he was an A student and an athlete that didn't cause them any problems.
