Secrets - Part Ten - Contemplating

He was usually accompanied by disaster, explosions, and, if it was anything like last time, green goo.

"Things are starting to look up."

Yep, they were. Henry was back. The new rule on "no more free food" was lifted. Library cards were free again. Parking meter instillation had been stopped. The museum wasn't being reopened, but according to Jo, it wasn't too much of a loss. Most of the town hadn't even been aware there was a Eureka museum.

Jack was even starting to maybe get over the Allison/Stark arrangement.

Okay, no he wasn't. But he felt like he might be soon.

The only problem…

He hadn't seen Fargo in three days.

And, while on the outside this may seem like a good thing, the sheriff knew better. Not seeing Fargo for a few days was only a good thing until he showed up again. When he did, he was usually accompanied by disaster, explosions, and, if it was anything like last time, green goo.

Jack glanced around the Café. He saw Jo and Zane sitting at a table laughing, Allison, Nathan and Henry talking, Vince happily serving customers the once-again-free meals, and Zoë and hair-boy (he really did need to learn the kids name) cuddling on the couch, reading a science magazine. He contemplated breaking them up, but decided against it. He was in an almost good mood. And everyone else was in a good mood. He wasn't going to ruin things tonight.

Of course, maybe he wouldn't need to. At that moment two women burst through the doors and ran over to the booth Jo and Zane were sitting in. The first had long, frizzy brown hair; the second had short, spiky black hair and glasses. Alyssa and Aerin Addison.

Seeing them with Jo and Zane, Zoë and her boyfriend (what was that kids name?) got up and joined them as well.

This could not be good.

But, as long as Fargo didn't show up, everything would be-

There was a loud thud followed by a grunt and an 'ow'.

"Graceful Fargo," Carter said, taking a sip of coffee.

Fargo grumbled something incomprehensible as he pulled himself to his feet and joined the others, greeting Henry as he passed. Jack watched as he handed one of the Addison sisters a flash drive, almost tripping again in the process.

This was going to be a long night.

So, kinda sad to say, but I think this is the end. I used to have plans beyond this, but it just never really worked out. Maybe something will hit me, but honestly, I't been so long since I've worked on this that I don't know if it'll ever work.

so...

The end.
