Word Count: Approx. 450
He's beginning to think that he's lost his mind when he walks into Global and one of the interns is standing on a desk singing about their lost set of car keys. However, they are an intern and this is Eureka, so Jack shrugs it off for the moment and rushes up to where Stark and Allison are waiting.
Of course, he realizes that perhaps he was too quick to dismiss the intern when he walks into the office and is promptly shocked to a standstill by the sight of Allison up on the desk singing what he suspects to be Respect by Aretha Franklin. To his great amusement Stark has his chair pushed as far away from the desk as possible, a look of horror on his face.
"Do I want to know?" Jack asks, leaning against the doorway. Stark appears around the singing, dancing, woman, relief in his eyes.
"Sheriff."
"Scientist." Jack steps into the room, looking around. "What happened this time? I feel like I just stepped into a musical."
And so Stark explains, explains about level two and the bored scientists there and how Fargo spilt some chemicals and all of a sudden everyone is bursting out into song. He pauses only when Allison finally decides to climb down off the desk and Fargo makes a brief appearance with something Jack could swear he heard on Buffy once.
They end up venting level two because the impulse to sing should wear off in the next twenty four hours, so no harm no fouls. And sometime between racing around Global tracking down the group of scientists putting on a performance in the contaminated area to getting Stark to make a copy of Allison and Fargo doing a duet, he begins to think that maybe, just maybe Stark isn't all that bad of a guy. And maybe just maybe, this day didn't turn out as bad as he thought it would, because, really? He can't see himself running around Global like this with Allison.
"What?" Jack jerks out of his inner musings as Starks voice breaks through.
"I was thinking…"
"Careful, you might hurt yourself." Jack just grins and bites back his usual remarks, leaning against the wall next to Stark.
"I was thinking," He continues as though he was never interrupted. "That we're going to need a lot of coffee to get through this." Stark raises an eyebrow, Jack just shrugs.
"Why Sheriff, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were asking me out."
"It's a good thing you know better then." Jack grins at him, wondering exactly what the hell he's doing, but at the same time not really caring.
