Disclaimer: They aren't mine, it sucks.
Summary: The team is punished for distracting Kate, but now they're bored and have nothing to do. But Kate isn't quite as smart as she think she is, because there is one flaw in her plan. E-Mail. And the team plan to use it to their advantage. Despite the consequences it may have.
A/N: Special thanx to Dr-Who-4-u for helping me with this. Without her none of this would happen.
A/N2: sorry this chapter is shorter, but I couldn't really find another way to work this one out.
-------------------------------------------
Miles really hated Kate, like really hated her. Not only had she made him come to work despite all his paperwork being done, but she then had the nerve to seperate him from everyone else. He was bored, no wait, bored was a huge understatement. He was almost in tears and that was no lie. Sighing he turned on his computer and stared at his background before deciding that he would at least try to use his e-mail. Not knowing what to say to Stephen or Nat, and wondering if Frank was even here he decided to try Eva.

Eva,
sigh I'm really bored and there is nothing to do. I didn't have any paperwork to do to begin with and yet Kate still had me come in. She then proceeds to seperate us all. sigh this is pure evil. I swear, can't she get arrested for this. I really need to get out of here. You should open your door enough for me to sneak in. :)
ok so I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get out of here in time to catch that show you wanted to see. I have tickets if you wanna go?
I'm gona go now. I'm desperate for a snack. lol
write back
miles
After re-reading the e-mail he clicked send and the got up in search of something to eat
-------------------------------------------
Eva was half-way through an article in the paper when her computer beeped. Looking up from her paper she saw the 'new mail' icon blinking. Figuring that whoever e-mailed her was probably one of her equally bored co-workers. She opened it and smiled when saw that it was from Miles. After reading it carefully she wrote back, a smile on her face the whole time.

Miles,
Yes, I am really bored as well. I'm sorry, that sucks. You can always sneak over here and do my paperwork. ;). lol. yeh the whole seperating us thing sucks. it doesn't make any sense sigh she probably can, but there's nothing we can do about it. its open, but Kate keeps walking by. she's making that Nat and Stephen don't escape, they were already late for lunch. sigh you can try if you wanna
we better be able to leave before 6. I would love to go, but I gotta know, how the hell did you get tickets? that show has been sold out for weeks. :-D
lol. good luck with that
Eva
Just as Eva clicked 'send' her door opened and Kate walked in. Eva looked up and smiled as she closed the program. "Something I can do for you Director?"
The older woman looked around the office before looking up at Eva. "Have you seen Frank?"
"No."
"He's disappeared."
"Oh."
"If you see him tell him to come to my office."
"Will do."
Kate started toward the door, but before she left Eva heard her yell. "Dr. McCabe, you better get back in your office if you wanna see tomorrow."
Eva laughed to herself as Kate shut the door. Shaking her head she turned back to the paper, waiting to hear from Miles.
-------------------------------------------
After getting yelled out by Kate for trying to escape Miles sat down in his office chair and tried to act like nothing had happened. His door opened and Frank's head appeared on the other side. "Is Kate in here?"
Miles rolled his eyes at Frank's question, knowing that he was most likely in trouble, again. "No."
"Good. If she comes by don't mention this."
Deciding to help his friend out, this time, he smiled. "Okay."
Frank disappeared once again and he heard his computer beep just as the door shut. He turned his computer back on and smiled after reading Eva's e-mail.

Eva,
yeh, Frank just came running in here hiding from Kate, but he just left so idk what was up with that. oh, poor Nat and Stephen, she's gonna kill them isn't she? lol. I would, but she yelled at me the last time so, I guess not.
good. I can't wait, I'm so ready to get out of here. espicially if its with you. :-D ... yeh, my brother knows a guy on the crew. he gave him and his wife the tickets, but they had to go out of town so he said I could have them. so if we can leave meet me my car 6 and we'll grab some food, then go to the show.
Miles
He hit send just as his door opened and Stephen jumped inside, shutting it behind him and locking it. "She's pyscho."
Miles looked up and noticed that his boss was panting, making him wonder what the hell was really going on out there. "Who?"
"Kate."
"Well I already knew that. What exactly are you doing in here anyways?"
"Hiding from Kate."
"Why?"
"I tried to go see Nat to give her back her report and Kate caught me. I ran all the way from the second floor."
"Stephen?"
"Yes?"
"Nat's office is up here, with ours. What the hell were you doing on the second floor?"
"Kate locked Nat in the lab."
"Oh." There was a loud knock on the door, causing both men to jump.
"Stephen, if you wanna get out of there alive you better hurry." Frank's voice was the last thing they expected, but was more welcomed than Kate's.
Stephen opened the door and stuck his head. "Bye Miles."
"Bye."
Miles shook his head and smiled, at least things were getting interesting around here now.
-------------------------------------------
After watching Stephen sneak back into his office just as Kate came down the hall Eva decided that she really didn't want to read the paper. She turned the computer back on for what was probably the sixth time that day. When she didn't see the 'new mail' icon she sighed and opened the internet. She was halfway through an on-line game of Jeopardy when her computer beeped. Smiling she opened the program to read what Miles had written.

Miles,

YAY! that sounds great. I can't wait. of course I wanna go out if its with you, thats what makes it the most fun ;). oh kool. well make sure you thank your brother for me. and that sounds good. I'll meet you there. :-D
well Kate is glaring at me. she wants me to help her with some stuff so I guess I'll talk to ya tonite. no real need to e-mail back, I'll let you know if I come back though
Eva
She clicked 'send' before standing up and grabbing her shoes. "My feet were hurting." She said when Kate gave her an odd look.
"Uh huh." The Director just shook her head and opened the door more as Eva followed her out. This day just really needed to be over.
