Thankyou Hetoy and CharlieAmita for reviewing. I really appreciate it.

Eavesdropping

Jack turned the wheel sharply and turned onto another street. "Make sure you use the parking brake and stay under the speed limits."

"Relax, I'll be careful," laughed Amy.

"As careful as you were last time?"

"Hey that was a long time ago," she defended herself. " I am a much better driver now"

"Well I should hope so. What was it again two garbage cans and a tree?"

"It was three garbage cans," the young lady said darkly.

"Right." Jack expertly pulled the car into the underground parking-lot.

"Hey there's the girl from the picture. We should go talk to her," Amy smiled deviously."

"Here are the keys."

"Thank you."

Sue didn't mean to eaves drop. What they said didn't make sense anyway. What picture? She smiled at them from across the lot as they glanced her direction. They smiled back, and Jack nodded slightly to her. Sue watched as he bid his sister drive safely and headed back to work.

"Hi, my name is Amy." Her brother was safely gone in the elevator. She didn't intend to give away any of his secrets as she had promised, but it couldn't hurt anything just to talk to the girl from the picture.

"I'm Sue. You must be Jack's sister."

"Yeah. So you work with Jack?"

"Yes. He helped me get my job. The agency had stuck me in finger printing when they found out I'm deaf."

"Really? Wow. So you can, like, lip read and that?" asked Amy. Sue nodded "So you can see what people are talking about when they're, say, across a parking lot?"

Sue smiled. "Yes, but I try to be discreet with that ability." Her smile turned to a grin. "I didn't quite get what you two were talking about."

"Uh… Jack is letting me use his car today but he is sort of worried I'll destroy it or something."

"I guess he never told you about his nickname Sparky? Something to do with his

first government issued vehicle."

The bull pen was quiet, except for the hum of monitors, and the tapping key boards. Afternoon light slanted down though the blinds over the windows. Sue looked up as her "hearing ear" dog nudged her with his cold nose.

"I uh," Jack started, and paused. He glanced by her desk. "I just got a call from Joey. He wants us to meet him tonight at the regular place. He has some more information for us."

"What time," she asked. "I have dinner plans. Your sister invited me for dinner tonight. Jack looked surprised for a moment.

"My sister? When?"

"In the Parking Garage after you left"

"I guess I should've introduced you to her, It's just that she likes to tell people embarrassing secrets about me."

"That's ok… So when does Joey want to us to meet him."

"Oh, nine-thirty. We will have plenty of time to get there after dinner."

"You don't mind that I'm coming… to dinner I mean."

"Of course not," Jack said quickly, smiling. "I'll just have to keep a close eye on her that she doesn't… say anything… you know." Once back in his office chair, Jack took out his wallet, and cautiously slipped a picture from it into one of his desk drawers. He would put it back later. If they were eating out, he didn't want anyone to see it when he was paying his bill.

The Falcon leaves his mark A loud ring startled Jack from his thoughts. He jerked to attention and grabbed the phone before it could ring again.

"Hudson," he answered shortly, then paused, listening intently. "Alright I'll be right there." He clanked the phone into place, and strode over to Sue's desk. Levi nudged Sue with his nose. She looked up.

"The D.C.P.D. found some of the Falcon's merchandise at Howlands University." Jack stated. Sue nodded. With a slight smile of exitement in her eyes, she reached for her jacket.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go."
