Another great post, yhm!
I'm patiently (unlike some people, who will remain nameless ) waiting to find out more!

Me? Worry my small band of readers? Nah!
Smilie bashing?

You electrify me, you keep me sane and, ever since things have changed around here with them, you’ve been my one true constant. And you’re still unsure? And worried? And embarrassed? They have proved it’s possible to be personal and professional and, to be honest, that gave me hope that we could have it too. I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry.

I have the highest regard for you and the last thing I want is to worry or embarrass you or damage your career. So if you want me to be even more discreet and professional, I will. I’ll stick to just Sue … I’m sure you couldn’t possibly object to that.

I give up.

Agreed: bring Tara in on this. I’ll contact her and we’ll meet up tonight to go over what we have.

Contact her? Where exactly is she?

Are you purposely using STFBE title names for the subject line?

yhm, who is 'them'??????? Sorry about the smilie bashing thing, but we were being killed off by angst and suspense!!!! We were left unattended and we kind of let our madness get the better of us, well, I know i did!! He he he! Great post!!!

jenny

I have a funny feeling, but I cannot determine it. Please, someone help me before I smash my head on smithereens!

I think the only one who can do that is yhm. yhm, do you see what is happening to your readers???? We need another post!!! Pretty please. I've spent the after noon baking brownies, cookies and sticky gingerbread. Can I tempt you with anything??? You could take this as a bribe. It seems you are being bounty hunted dearie!!!! Seems i'm not the only one now!!!! He he he!!


Jenny

This is a great story story you have going, yhm.

Ahh, another episode title! Looking forward to more of your great story, yhm!

Thanks, ladies.

Barbara - what funny feeling? You're making me nervous ...

Jack! Please, don’t give up on me … or us … please! Could I have some time to work this out on my own?
I’m flattered by your attention and I really do care about you. That’s why I can’t bear the thought of getting us … you … into trouble if we’re found out. I don’t know if the Bureau will be that understanding yet again and I know how much you love what you do.

Tara’s fine with helping us. She’ll be here when all the others have left.

I wasn’t criticising you and I’m so, so sorry that I’ve upset you and made you angry.

Yep, you definitely are clever..and intriguing. Why do they have to 'make contact' with Tara? Why can't they just throw a paper airplane at her desk to get her attention? What have you done to the team???

kav

Ok, I think there is another couple in the team and that the rule was bended for them but Sue thinks they won't be that understanding again...right? you just like to watch us analyze it...

Bell, you are ssoo right. yhm, get back here and post, little missy or I may have to resort to not posting. At all. Just kidding. But please post soon. We've analysed it and now we just need another post!!!

Jenny

yhm, dearie, you're messing with all our heads again and I want you to stop it this instant, young lady! It seems very unclear whether Jack and Sue are together or not. And where did Tara go to? Why do they have to make contact with her? yhm, I'm expecting you to come back with all these questions explained.

Notice how, so far, all the subject titles are episode titles? yhm, is it going to be like in Redemption? My, my, you do have plenty of ideas!

I have no intention of getting you into trouble.

I’m not angry. I’m tired of having to be responsible and accountable for my actions all the time. I’m tired of the constant security checks and scans and evaluations, even if they are for my own protection. I’m tired of the rules and policies and I wish I could lead a normal life. But, yes, I still love what I do because it’s what I do best … for now.

Words are all I have and it appears I have a knack for choosing all the wrong ones. I never intended my “name calling” to be anything other than endearments; I do apologise for not realising they might’ve been objectionable … but, as I’ve said, I never meant to worry or embarrass you. That you must believe.

I’ll be available when Tara makes contact.

That was so sweet, Jack/yhm! He wants to be with Sue but can't because of the policies but on the other hand, he loves his job and doesn't want to quit. Oh, what a torment!

yhm, that was a brillant post! Amazing how you managed to capture Jack's anguish in a somple email. If I had a hat, it would be off to you!

Wow, Jack put a lot of feeling into that email, for sure. I am definitely curious as to what Tara will be helping them with?

Ahhh YHM, Jack's endearing names were his way of being affectionate and caring. I understand why both would be worried about them being branded over the air waves.

It seems that both have their feeling down on paper, now for that face to face contact!

yhm, you have my brain ties up in knots!!! Come back here and post so my brain can untie its self!!!!! Pretty please???? Preferably while I'm still online.

He he he!!

Jenny

Still verrrry, very intrigued by all the questions you still have floating out there for us. Quite messing with my head yhm!

Is Tara undercover or something????

Now that's an angle we haven't considered. I swear, I spend wa-ay too much time reading fanfictions!!! And writing them too! *shakes head pityingly* Oh well, I guess all we can do is wait for yhm to post.

*gets cushion, chocolate brownies and some popcorn* Oh yeah, I've just remembered, the brownies are supposed to be for my bible group later on tonight. And we don't keep popcorn in the house. Looks like it's just me and my cushion.

Yhm, could you post so I can stop rambling???

Jenny

Yhm, I just feel like hugging Jack!! He sounds so hurt about the endearments!! But, I can understand Sue's fear as well!!

Still haven't figured out why people aren't where I think they should be!!! I'm sticking to it though until I figure it out!!!

Joy

I am making yhm nervous? Wow, that's something!!

Another great post, yhm!

This especially has me going

But maybe that's just me...

So many questions!! Looking forward to them being answered.

You all sound so suspicious of anything I post ... and you're cracking me up with all your analyses.

What do you mean ‘for now’? You’re scaring me. And I’ve never known you to sound so stiff and cold … it’s all my fault, isn’t it? Now I know how much I must’ve hurt you. I'm so, so sorry.

I’ve never found your choice of words objectionable. You’re one of the kindest, most diplomatic and good hearted colleagues anyone would be lucky to have.

It’s me: I guess I still have a lot to learn about how to deal with us and to think about just what kind of relationship I want with you. I’m very comfortable working with you, even with flirting a little with you … but … oh, I don’t know! A part of me badly wants what they have now but another part of me can’t help worrying …

I really am sorry. Are you there? Are you okay?

Aww, Sue seems so confused. Please come back and fix it. Great story!!

Just who are "they" anyway?

Yhm, this is so exasperatinging good.

Ahhhh Sue, he's okay..just as long as he can have what they have too!

Neither of you meant to hurt the other, but surely it's better to have a d=face to face discussion on this before things get out of hand. I mean facial expressions and body language talk volumes!

Yhm, you are doing brilliantly with this, little snippets but great storyline!

*says trying to stay calm* yhm, where is Jack???????

Jenny

BTW, great post

Oh, dear, this seems to be going downhill!! Jack and Sue, talk to each other - face to face!!!

Joy

Okay, one more post.

Are you checking your mail at all today or are you ignoring me?

As someone who said so wisely once: That was not even a snippett, more like a 'sn'!!!

As I said before, yhm, where is Jack????????

Please tell us soon, and keep him safe!!!

Great 'sn'

Jenny

Dangit, Jack check your email! *sigh*Those two...



So, who is being referred to with the vague word "they"?

What is exactly going on there? I like the sweet words but I am c-o-n-f-u-s-e-d.

Wow! I wrote a 'sn'.

'sn'???

It's what bell called a weeny post on mine on one of my fics. It's even smaller than a snippett!!! Geez yhm, you're not supposed to be doing what I do, I'm a BAD EXAMPLE!!! Right Tracy? PLease post soon!!!

Jenny

i'm not sure that last post even constitutes a 'sn' more like a 's'

cath

Cath's right.

Humph.

We are supposed to be "humphing".

yhm, it's not a bad thing, in fact, it's another thing to put on your writers resume!! Or in England we call it a CV. a 's' is even more angsty than a 'sn'. Geez, I've got to stop writing angst, cos when I write angst, it seems to appear in everyone elses fics!!!!

More soon as I was all excited when I saw a post from you! BTW, I posted on Mission Impossible.

Jenny

I'm with Cath, it's not big enough to be a "sn"!! And Jenny is right - you should be proud!! Look at the angst oozing out of that "s"!!!

Joy

Just a correction, Jenny, it was Cath, not bell that said it was a 'sn'. And you are correct, Jenny, that you are a BAD EXAMPLE!

yhm, thanks for the great post and the 's', as well!

I have to agree with Ivory, this is exasperatingly good!

ditto!

No 'Humph-ing' Allowed.

Come back here and fix this.. Why isn't Jack replying to Sue's email? Are they having a fight? Or is he just too busy?? Aargghhh!!! So many questions!!

Does this qualify for a 'sni-'?

I know you opened my email because I received the alert, so I’ll take it you really are ignoring me.

Jack, please …

Mister, why are you ignoring the fair lady?? Oh for goodness sake, you can't be that petty, can you?? She has already apologize! What more do you want?

Humph I think that we're gonna be getting one email at a time.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think that might only qualify as a 'sn'!
