Yes, you should definitely with this. And it's a not plot-less, fluff-less thing. It's a good, all fun wonderful read! And you shouldn't feel bad! We love you and your emails!

Thanks for the confidence ... for a moment, it felt like I should be heading west but I'd got on a train heading east with no way of changing back, if you know what I mean. Panic in mid-story is not pleasant.

Anyhow, here's the next snipp- . Thanks again.

Sorry, Jack. Still thinking about who said that bit about science … it just bugs me when I don’t remember things. And when I don’t know things. I don’t suppose it’ll do any good to ask you what’s going on with Sue? Or you? Or between Sue and you?

Anyway, you bet I can trace the employee or -yees. I’ll just need more time if I don’t want to send up red flags in the bank’s computers and alert the fugitive. Once I’ve uncovered him … hmmm …. then again it might be a her … I wonder … <gives self violent shake>

I’m going to try to see if I can link him or her to any phantom account holder or creator, and then we’ll have some means of identifying him or her … I should have something concrete for you ASAP. Be back as fast as I can.

Well, Tara didn't mince any words asking Jack and Sue what is going on with them. I love how she then switched into tech mode.

Great post, yhm! Look forward to more!

Yhm, you continue in the direction your going, it's great. I love any story, when it has intriguing plotlines to go along with it, it makes it all the more juicy. You may be posting sni's and sn's and snipp's but every line we're gonna read, so you go girl, your the author we're along for the ride.

As for Jack, Sue and Tara, goodness knows what's going on, all I know is that there are so many unanswered questions and loads more to think about.

Yhm, there's nothing plot-less or fluff-less about this!! And you totally have us intrigued about what's really going on!!!

Do your stuff, Tara!! And, Jack and Sue, answer Tara's question!!!

Joy

Yhm, I LOVE this story!!! Do ya think I would be pestering you for more if I didn't??? I'm with Tara, WHAT IS WITH JACK AND SUE????????? Sorry, that's a lot of questions!! That e-mail was great, and don't worry about your fic being e-mails!! It's interesting, and it's something I would like to do.
More soon please!!

Jen

Sorry, JF... I didn't want to accuse you without a proof. It's just a premonition I got and nothing else.

I'm not asking myself any more about J&S odd behaviour. Their relationship is already complicated, but when Yhm stucks her nosy nose in... all becomes even more unpredictable. And I mean it as a compliment!

Yhm, how many times willl I have to tell you that your writing is fabulous?! You better not stop now my friend!

Gotta love Tara! She didn't mince words at all. Love the direct approach.


Barbara - I doubt yhm will mind too much if you try various bribes to see what works! I might start with something sweet...

Excellent continuation of the story. I'm sure we're all getting a clearer picture regarding the case. Now if only we know what's going on between Jack and Sue... And why he's acting like a total brat/turtle boy..

Thanks, ladies. I kinda like this story but was really concerned about the fluff-less, plot-less-ness of the whole thing ... and I've certainly never written something like this before. And thanks, Mel (you know why).

Oh, well, on with the quest to hang on to my crown. Here is another sni- .

No. No. And no.

Good.

Thanks.

You called that a sni-??? It's more of a s- only.. Can we have more? And must Jack be so hostile?? Be nice, Turtle Boy!

Yhm, I think from what I've been told that would only qualify as 1/2 a 's'...
There is absolutely no danger of you losing your crown!!!!

No!

kav

Jack! You don't have anything else to say?!?

Here we go again! Jack, denying your feelings for Sue is seriously starting to get boring!!!

Perhaps Jack should now send a very personal email where he apologises for his earlier actions *coughlikeignoringSuecough* and they make up and live happily ever after.

A girl can dream, can't she?

Mel - I have that same dream! It's a sign ! Jack - write the email to Sue.

Em

By your command ... "

Are you there?

WHAT? I think that was the shortest one yet!
Well, at least he seems to be talking to her...

YHM!!!! You are taking our words in a way that we didn't mean them in!!! By e-mail her Jack!! we mean longer than a s- lovely smushy fuzzy e-mail saying how sorry he is!!! He he he!!!! Just kidding, we LOVE your little s-, sn-, sni- etc.

Jen

What is with these two?

Make it 3, yhm's teasing us too!!!!

I guess your silence is quid pro quo.

Wow! Together, those two posts might equal a 's'!!!

Love the title of the emails!

Tracy, I'm counting the last THREE posts as a full "s"!!

So, now Sue is ignoring Jack??? This is too funny!!!

Joy

What does quid pro quo mean?????????? sorry, little English gal here!!! Yhm, you are now dubbed the wueen of s-'s and teasing!!! Now you have achieved that can we have a longer post??? He he he!!!! You are such a tease!!! *goes off in search of a tease smilie*


Jen

Jen, "quid pro quo" is Latin for "something for something" or "tit for tat". Basically, retaliation in kind.

Yhm, I hope you don't mind me answering Jen's question. I got excited because I knew the answer!

Thanks Tracy!!! Latin you say??? Comme ci comme ca. That's French for like this like that. Sorry, I lu-urve languages!!!!

Jen

Thanks Tracy! hey, yhm, will we see a snipp- in the near future?

Thanks for the translation!

One language at a time, please.

Hey Jack. Since you seem to be wanting to use your latin, how about trying another Latin phrase on Sue... Ego amo te (I love you)

You know yhm, you're taking so long to write at least a snipp- you're almost moving slower than Turtle Boy! And while we wait we've somehow ended up speaking Latin!

Don't worry, Tracy studied latin at school. Jack, dit a la Sue, Je t'aime tu.

Sorry, I love speaking french, it means jack, say to Sue, I love you. At least I think it was right

Yhm, please come back so we can stop speaking in latin and stuff and can read some more sn's

Jen

I don't know any Latin! Unless... Is Carpe Diem latin? If so... Seize the Day Jack! And I think it was mentioned (by me and Mel) that the email was suppose to involve an apology - a very personal apology. Did you for get that part YHM?

More please!

Em

Well at least something productive is going on whilst we wait for yhm to post.

Please post soon yhm! Stop the language madness

Ditto!
By the way, very impressive Ivory! Yes, Carpe Diem is indeed Latin, Em! Jen, I told you I took Latin in college, but I don't necessarily remember that much!

Don't be impressed. I looked it up.

Whew! I should use Latin more often ... what an educational series of replies ... keep it up, ladies.

Tara, think you could check if Sue’s online?

Oooh, Sue's not going to like that, Jack....

As I said before, your crown is safe, yhm! Though I'm beginning to think the crown should be for Queen of the 's', not Queen of the 'sni'.

Look forward to more! Did I mention before how I love that you're using episode titles as the email Subject?

Glad I'm still reigning ... And thanks for saying that, Tracy ... I thought I'd have a little personal fun while writing.

And thanks, all, for continuing to read. Will post soon ... honest.

Ditto to Tracy!!!! We should have an inscription: Queen of s-s!!





Personal fun is goooood!!!!! We love to read it!!!! I'll hold you to that promise yhm!!!!

Jen

Does this qualify for a snippet yet?

It might have escaped your notice but the Bureau’s computers are all connected to central servers so anybody who knows how pretty much can tap into them and tell who’s doing what, where and when.

I can tell you now there are packets transmitting from Sue’s system so she’s definitely online but I can’t and won’t tell you what she’s doing or who she might be doing it with … actually, I can … but I won’t. Not that you’ve ever asked me to, bless you.

But funny you should ask about Sue. The network buzz is she might be available again … don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Jack, I really thought you two were … you know … was I wrong? I hope not. Can I say I hope things work out for you? I know how deeply you feel about her, even though you’ve tried so hard to hide it … is there anything I can do?

Yhm, You've let Sue become possibly available again?!?!?!?!?!? Eeeeekk!!! Jack, write her an e-mail telling how sorry you ae and how much you love her!!!! That's an order buddy!!!! Yh, it's a snippe- needs to be a tad bit longer!!!!

Great post!!

Jen

Jack forget the e-mail and go to see her! I loved Tara's loyalty to her friend by not revealing details about what she does. And I agree with Jen, it's only a snipp-

Sue will NEVER be available again!! This is just a small set-back!!!

Yhm, I need to point out to you, the first "Missing" post was missing!!!

Joy

I'm still liking this.
