Chapter 3. An Unexpected Turn.

"Jack, you okay mate?" It was Bobby. Jack looked up and saw his friend leaning over him. He looked around as he slowly sat up.

"I'll let you know when the cartoon birds stop flying around my head." Jack said. Bobby reached out his hand and helped Jack to stand. Jack looked as he saw a paramedic seeing to an injured man nearby.

"You shot him?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, got here in time to see him raise his gun. Be thankful I have quick reactions mate." Bobby said.

"I am glad it was you." Jack said. D and Myles joined Bobby.

"Looks like we have our guy. As well as his handgun, he had on him a knife, a key to a room in a local motel and his ID. Tara ran the name, there is a list of charges against this guy as well as the attempted murder of an FBI agent." D said.

"And I am sure the fingerprints found on the last victims cab ID, will match our shooter here." Myles said.

"We should head back to the bullpen, get Sparky here a strong coffee." Bobby said.

The team returned to the office and joined Sue, Tara and Lucy to debrief on the operation. Sue looked over to Jack as the group arrived. She walked over to him with deep concern in her face.

"You okay?" She asked him.

"I'm fine, thank you." He said. Doing his best to practice his ASL. It didn't take the team long to get back into the swing of things, mainly joking around about Jacks near death experience. Bobby took more glee in it then the rest. We walked over to Jack and handed him a small black box, no bigger then a ring box.

"What's this?" Jack asked.

"A present for you." Bobby said. "It's a tracker, to put in your pocket. So the next time to decide to go for a little drive, we can find you." The team laughed as Jack rolled his eyes.

"Okay, enough with the jokes." Jack said.

"We never agreed to that." Sue said. "Right Levi?" She looked to her golden dog. He barked in agreement.

"Thanks for the support Levi." Jack said. The team went back to their desks and buried themselves in their work. They had agreed to help local officers in their appeal for a missing 8 year old. Even though it wasn't a FBI case, they had wanted to lend their expert eyes and ears. The team looked up as Demetrius walked in. He signalled for Levi to get Sues attention and they all looked towards him.

"We have an unexpected break in the missing child case. A local jogger has found a body."
