A/N: Sorry it's so short. But the scene gets the point across anyway, I think. :)
Jordan brightly smiled and nodded as Shawn told him how the tour with Elizabeth had gone. It had gone better than he had expected it to actually so Jordan was pleased with all the work that Shawn had done so far for him on this. He had known that Shawn was best suited for this favor and Jordan was pleased to hear that the two were connecting, getting along so well. "And she'll be here for the charity event, I assume," Jordan added, patting Shawn on the back for a job well done.
"She wants to come," Shawn emphatically said.
"I'm sensing there's a 'but' that should have come with that statement. Shawn, whatever it is, you know I'll take care of it."
"She just said that she doesn't have anything to wear," he said with a shrug. He had thought it was a cute request from Elizabeth but actually saying it to Jordan was another matter. Shawn was afraid of what Jordan might say. "I kind of promised her that I'd be able to help her with that."
"Of course you will. Shawn," Jordan replied with a bit of a self-satisfied grin. He had no problem with doing everything possible to make a 4400 feel comfortable with coming to the Center and buying them things was just the beginning of the things that Jordan knew he could do for someone like Elizabeth. He'd done more for others and he'd do more for Elizabeth if she asked. "Money is no object where the 4400 are concerned. You know that already."
"I know but I thought you might be mad at me for promising Elizabeth a dress for this event when we're putting so much money into it already."
Jordan tsked and shook his head, waving Shawn's concerns off. "It's only money, Shawn. What good does it do anyone if it just sits in a bank somewhere? Whatever Elizabeth Davenport needs, she'll have. See to it that she's happy and that's all that matters."
Shawn nodded, mulling over what his next plan of action would be. "Thanks," he told Jordan. "It'll mean a lot to Elizabeth."
"Of course it will," Jordan replied. "I want to see to it that Elizabeth is content, Shawn. This will help show her that whatever she might need, the 4400 Center and its people can provide it for her. I'm glad I can help with that."
Shawn smiled and turned to leave. He couldn't see the self-satisfied grin on Jordan Collier's face. He didn't see the way Jordan looked at him as he left Jordan's office. And if he had seen, Shawn probably wouldn't have noticed. His thoughts were on how he was going to contact Elizabeth again without her friend intercepting the message and how he was going to get her something to wear to the charity event before Friday.
