NOTE: Every time I read it, that last scene makes me cry. It's a good cry though!

"She had a boyfriend, and he convinced her to help him out. At first it was miniscule crimes, but over time they got larger. Until the biggest scam. And I guess she wanted out, so she came here." Tara explained.

Jack nodded, getting up. He'd heard enough. "Alright, well, let's arrest her, charge her with the crimes here, and see what Russia has to say about the crimes she committed over there."

"I agree." Bobby said, getting up as well. "Is SOG still watching her?"

"Yep, I just talked with them a little bit ago. She hasn't gone anywhere. I don't think we're onto her."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's arrest this woman!" Myles announced.

Everyone laughed as they watched him proudly walk out of the room, leaving everyone behind.

"What does he think, he's a one-man show?" Josh replied.

Friday afternoon was quiet. After the guys came back from arresting Olga, all that was left to do was paperwork. And so that is what they did. Soon, it was time for them to go home. Most left early, since they had a long night the night before, and never had proper sleep.

"ME PICK UP YOU TIME 7 MORNING OK?" Jack signed before he put on his coat.

Sue nodded and smiled. "SURE."

He finished putting on his coat, then signed. "OK. SEE YOU LATER." They both smiled at each other.

"Well, I better go. I need to check up on Mya." Josh said, taking everyone leaving as his cue.

Soon, the only people left in the room were Sue and Tara.

"You about ready to leave?" Sue asked, walking up to her.

Tara nodded, not looking away from her computer.

Sue eyed her. "What's wrong?"

Tara shook her head. "Nothing's wrong." She quickly glanced at Sue.

"There is something bothering you. I can see it in your eyes." She coaxed, leaning against the desk.

Tara looked at her friend, tears forming in her eyes. "It's just, days like this, I would,"

"What?" Sue asked, confused.

"If cases ended on a weekend, I usually would go down to Virginia to celebrate with Caleb." She confessed.

Sue looked at her friend. "Oh Tara, I'm sorry."

She shook her head. "It's OK. I'll be alright."

"How about you come with me and Jack up to New York? It'll get your mind off it?" Sue suggested.

Tara shook her head and smiled a bit. "No, I'm fine. You enjoy yourself. You've been looking forward to it all week."

"Are you sure?" Sue concernedly asked.

Tara nodded. "Yes. Go have fun."

"Alright, if you promise me one thing." Sue smiled.

"What?" Tara asked.

"You'll come with me and we'll have some fun tonight."

Tara smiled. "OK." She signed.

"Great! Now go grab your coat. We have to celebrate!"

Tara laughed at her friend.

"Hey!" AJ exclaimed, seeing Sue and Tara at the restaurant, walking towards a table.

Sue noticed the woman coming towards the two. "Hi!" she exclaimed, stopping, while Tara walked to the table.

"I saw the news. So horrific, but I'm glad everything's safe now."

Sue nodded. "What are you going to do?"

AJ smiled widely. "Well, me and some of the other therapists were all talking, and if we pool our money together, we can open up our own place. Somewhere far away from the last one. Oh, and we are going to hire Jeana, the girl who used to be our front desk person. She's really good, and a good friend. Especially since I convinced her to quit on the spot." AJ laughed.

Sue laughed. "Of course. I'm happy for you. Let me know when your grand opening is. I haven't had a massage in a long time."

"Sure! Bye!" AJ exclaimed, walking back to the group she was with, many of them the therapists from the clinic. Sue walked to the table Tara was now sitting at.

"Hey." She said, sitting down. "What do you think you want?" Sue asked, quickly eyeing the menu before she had to look up for Tara's reply.

"I'm not hungry." She whispered.

"Can I get your drink orders?" the waiter asked, coming up to the table.

"Something very strong." Tara replied.

"Tara!" Sue scolded. "That's not the way!" she then turned to the waiter. "We'll have some iced tea."

He nodded, walking away.

Sue turned to her friend. "Drinking the night away isn't the way to cope. You need to find another way."

Tara shrugged. "You're probably right."

?-? LISTEN TO I'll Be Alright by Rebecca Roubion

Josh had knocked on Mya's door several times with no answer.

"Mya, I know you're in there. Please open up." He yelled into the door.

Silence.

"Please. I know you're hurting, though you won't admit it. Please, let me try and help."

After about a minute, he heard the lock in the door unlock. A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing Mya, still in the same clothes, her hair a mess, and her face wet and sticky from tears. "I think I'm ready to admit it."

She took a step towards him, and he her. They met in the middle, her crying and squeezing his torso in what was supposed to be a hug.

"Oh Mya." He whispered as he silently tried to comfort her. They just stood in the doorway, not moving.

After dinner, Tara came home, plopped on her couch, and continued her crying session. After a bit of time, she dried her tears.

"I don't need to do this. I should do something fun. I will be a lot better then." She tried to smile to reassure herself. In that moment, she knew she wouldn't be OK that night, or even the next day, but she knew she'll be alright sometime in the near future.

Early Saturday morning, Jack picked up Sue, and they drove to New York.

During the drive, Jack quickly looked at Sue. He could see she had mixed feelings about the event. He touched her shoulder. "You OK?" he asked when she looked at him.

Sue nodded. "Yeah. I'm just thinking about Judy. I miss her."

"I know you do." He quickly looked back at her. "I'm proud of you."

"Oh?"

Jack nodded, continuing to drive. "You've overcome a fear you'd had for many years. That's an amazing feat that not too many people can claim."

Sue smiled at him, and soon enough, they were at the rink.

"Sue!" Lucy squealed, seeing her friends walk inside.

"Hi!" Sue exclaimed, hugging her friend.

"I'm so glad you're here!" Lucy said after releasing Sue from the hug.

"Me too!" she smiled widely at her friend.

"Hi Jack." Lucy said, turning to her other friend, giving him a hug as well.

Once the hello's were said, Jack and Lucy looked up.

"What's going on?" Sue asked, seeing them listening to something.

"It's time to go sit down. The competition is about to start." Lucy explained, walking with them. "I'm just so excited you're here!"

About a minute after they sat down in the bleachers, the first skater came into the rink. Sue smiled, watching the young girl. Soon, she finished, and the next girl came on. Sue took in a sharp breath of air. The girl looked exactly like Judy. The young girl then smiled and waved at Sue. She smiled as she watched the routine, then looked with wide eyes. It was Judy's exact routine she was going to do at State. Tears started pouring from Sue's eyes.

Near the end of the performance of the second girl, Jack noticed Sue crying. He touched her shoulder. "What's wrong?" he asked when she looked at him.

"It's Judy." She said, pointing to the girl who just finished. When she looked back at the girl, she looked nothing like Judy. Sue frowned. "I saw Judy. She did the routine that she was supposed to do at State."

"Are you sure?" he concernedly asked.

Sue nodded. "I know I saw Judy."

Jack looked back out on the ice, thinking. After a few minutes, he turned back to her. "Maybe it was Judy, telling you that she's glad you've finally overcome your fear." He suggested.

Sue smiled, still crying. "Yes, I think so."

"Here's DeeDee!" Lucy squealed, pointing out on the ice.

Sue and Jack smiled, watching their friend's daughter.

"Everything's going to be alright." Sue whispered to herself. She looked at Jack. No matter what they go through, it'll be alright.
