Wish I had known you were a nurse as going around and around thinking what sort of questions would they ask?

Personally I had a Pulmonary embolus ten days before I got married so this is nothing!

Made it from ICU to church went back to hosp for honeymoon! A joyous period in my life! Just how every girl dreams their wedding will go!

Wow, what an experience that would have been, mentor! I have no idea what that condition is, but I can guess it was less than pleasant.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

Poor you!!
that sort of stress is the last thing you need on your ' big day'!
Glad that you are better now- hopefully no lasting damage!

Anytime you or indeed anyone wants medical/nursey advice then just ask.

oh poor sue and poor jack. Awww i hope she feels better for the wedding!

:laughs: :laughs: just caught up again! Too funny!

now as to the 'nurse-talk"hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Excellent job, Mentor...poor Sue!!! Yikes, to be so sick, so close to the wedding! Hope she gets better quickly!!!

Brilliant Mentor! Loved the moment where Jack and Sue realised that there could be a possibility that they were pregnant.

Myles is going to have a fit! This will really disrupt his last minute wedding fixings if the bride isn't available!

Can't wait for the nurses talk - please give us all the awkward details of that! How embarrassed would you be if you were a 30 something, FBI Agent getting the birds and the bees talk from a stranger? Too funny

Saturday 20th December

“Hey I see your feeling better!” Lucy had received an early morning call, saying that Sue was being discharged.

“I’m feeling surprisingly good now Luce. I just need to get out of here, and get all those last minute things done for the wedding. Did you bring my clothes?” Sue pulled back the blankets, and swung her legs over the side of the bed.

“Oh no you don’t. Jack would never forgive me. You are coming home to rest, and then Jack will be around later. Which reminds me Jack was surprisingly reluctant to come with me to pick you up this morning!” Lucy knew there was some gossip to be had.

Sue giggled.

“Come on out with it!” Lucy knew she would get the story eventually.

“Well you remember Marge, well my Nurse is Sally, and she could be Marge’s” sister!” Sue explained. Lucy gave her a confused look.

“Lets just say Sally gave Jack a good talking to about his marital responsibilities” Sue giggled some more. Sally had certainly been on her side during the conversation.

“She did?” Lucy was trying not to laugh. “And I take it that Jack was a little uncomfortable!”

“Well I would say totally embarrassed was a more accurate description.” Sue started to get changed. "It was when she described me as the flower and Jack as the bee in search of the nectar, that he really started to look a little flushed! Apparently bees don't go out in the rain unless their wearing protection!"

“Arghhhh poor Jack” Lucy said sympathetically, desperately trying not to howl with laughter.

“Yeah he had a bit of a tough afternoon, did he tell you I threw up all over his car?” Sue remembered how unpleasant the previous afternoon had been.

“Not in so many words. I wouldn’t worry about it though, just see it as a pre wedding test of his devotion!” Lucy smiled, Jack had been off to the valet service when she had called. “You know how men are about their cars!”

“I read somewhere that’s men’s cars matched their personalities.” Sue said pulling her sweater on. “Or was it they were extensions of their egos?”

“So let me think that would make Jack, fast, well-built, nicely groomed with lots of thrust” Lucy sniggered.

“Lucy!” Sue responded indignantly.

LOL WOW im even blushing that was so cute! great job!

Don't blush! Laugh. :laughs: Well everyone requested wicked, when I started to write this story. Infact Smiler wanted the whole embarassing conversation! So I started to write it and thought it would end up in the r rated category instead! So you got just a sentence or two of girl talk! :whistle:

heres some more....

Late afternoon

Sue lay propped up but fully clothed on top of her bed covered by a throw. Lucy had tried to get her to go to bed and rest, but this was happy compromise, it meant Sue could sneak around when Lucy wasn’t looking. She felt tired, but she had things which needed doing. Levi lay next to the bed, keeping an eye on things for her. She was checking her e mail when Jack and Bobby appeared.

“Hey you’re looking better, sweet heart.” Jack lent forward and kissed her on the cheek. Sue gave him smile.

“Glad to see that you’re all fixed up now Sheila.” Bobby said. Sue’s looked at little puzzled, and looked at Jack for confirmation.

Jack cleared his throat embarrassedly “ Poor choice of words. He’s glad you feeling better!”

“Oh “ Sue said relieved that although she had confided in Lucy that Jack hadn’t done the same with Bobby.

“Did I miss something there?” Bobby asked.

“No, nothing at all!” Jack replied far too quickly.

“Well anyway I will leave you two lovebirds in peace, and we will pick you all up at 7.30 am tomorrow.” Bobby said.

Sue looked puzzled. “My car is being cleaned. It will not be back for 24 hours” Jack explained. “Lucy said I should stay here.”

“Sparky here is a good nurse. And you two behave yourselves in my absence” Jack looked at Bobby wide-eyed. Bobby winked and waved good-bye.

“So you’re staying here the night huh?” Sue asked teasingly.

“Don’t worry I’ll be on the sofa, tonight. But what I would really like to do now, is snuggle up under that throw with you and take an afternoon nap” Jacks big brown eyes pleaded with her.

She patted the bed, and Jack didn’t need a second invite. He kicked off his shoes and snuggled down next wrapping his right arm around her. Sue’s head found his shoulder, and her right arm rested loosely on her chest. Jack took a deep breath and let out a contented sigh.

“I am so glad you are ok,” he said quietly.

“Yeah it was quite a day yesterday” Sue replied looking up at him.

“Between you and Bobby there really is never a dull moment.” Jack yawned.

Sue laughed gently. He could talk. She thought to herself.

Jack gently caressed the side of her cheek with his left hand. “Are you ok about not being pregnant?” He asked gently.

“Jack, I’m more than ok about not being pregnant, Call me selfish if you like, but I would really like to have you all to myself for a little while at least.” Sue yawned sleepily.

Jack gently squeezed her. “That sounds really good to me to.” He kissed her forehead.

Sue let out a contented sigh. Jack quietly laughed to himself.

“Care to share the joke?” Sue asked.

“I was just imagining bees, with umbrellas and rain coats?” Jack said mischievously.

Sue slapped him playfully on the shoulder. “Jackson Hudson behave yourself!”

“Hey what was that for I’m just taking my marital responsibilities seriously.” Jack said indignantly.

“We’re not married yet Hudson” Sue reminded him. With that Jack flipped her over on to her back and declared, “Thanks for reminding me.” Before Sue could respond Jacks lips met hers and any objections that might have been slipped into oblivion.

Half an hour later when Lucy slipped her head around the door, she found Jack and Sue cuddled in each other’s arms in a contented asleep. She closed the door behind her with a silly grin on her face.

The scenes - and the fuzzies - just keep getting better and better.

I'm much like Lucy in this area. I usually have a silly grin on my face after reading one of your posts lately. I love it!

You make it sound like it was a bad suggestion!

I think it was an inspired idea on my behalf as there is an R-rated Levi Award for this challenge. I think that whole conversation would make an excellent entry for that. Don't you?


Another fabulous post Helen! Loved them just cuddling up. After the stress of the last few days some quiet time was needed.

Oh great! I'll take you up on that offer when I go back to writing Under Covers after the holidays! My heroine has just been shot and is still on her way to the hospital... in fact, she has been on her way to the hospital for a month now if I remember right.

And back to the story, I really loved it!!! Was pretty funny to see Jack and Sue's reaction to the news they might have been expecting.

Oh, this is too funny. You're going to have to write soon... I can't type when I'm laughing this hard...

Rai The good news is I'm writing the spa scene as of now!!!

Oh my Mentor, I didn't realize how far behind I had fallen. I just got caught up and had a blast doing it! Started with the whiplash, glad I didn't have to wait after Sue fainted. It was worth the pain!

Great J/S banter over her jitters. And Bobby's CPR idea, too funny! Hey, Marge, that's me, that's me, whether it is or not, it's me! I got to see J/S passionately kissing CPR style, rolling on the floor. Woohoo, loved it and smelling salts for sure!

Loved the angst, Sue being or not being pregnant, OK with both. Nice she wasn't, so they can have each other to themselves for a bit.

Sue and Lucy talking about the nurse lecturing Jack! What a hoot!

I can't believe you had a pulmonary embolus 10 days before you got married! How awful! I'm glad you were able to get to the ceremony and I hope you were able to have a second honeymoon far away from the hospital!

Looking forward to that spa scene!

You can have this now incase I get called into work tomorrow!

Sunday 21st December

Jack, Bobby, D and Myles stood in the foyer of the Belle Image Spa. The girls had disappeared into the ladies changing room only seconds before. Feeling distinctly out of place and uncomfortable, they surveyed the scene around them. Most of the guests appeared to be in fluffy white towelling bathrobes, with matching slippers. The staff were all dressed in a company livery of white, with the Belle Image Spa logo neatly embroidered somewhere about there uniform.

“Well what’s our itinerary the Jack? Bobby said completely resigned to the fact this was probably going to be the worse day of his life.

“Apparently we have to visit the steam room first for 20 minutes then we are having an ocean wrap.”

“Whoa they feed us too?” Things were looking up or so Bobby thought.

“I’m not quite sure it’s that sort of wrap.” Said D. trying not to laugh. Donna had filled him in on what to expect. “So where do we get changed?”

“Over there I think, follow me” Said Myles as he strode off ahead.

The locker room was certainly swish, there seemed to be an abundance of white fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. All the surfaces gleamed and sparkled, the whole place seemed to be constructed entirely from marble and glass. The counters were laden with all lotions, sprays and aftershaves. Jack sniffed one and tried not to choke. “Not quite the same atmosphere as the men’s locker room at the FBI!”

“No we don’t seem to be suffering from the rancid smell of decaying sports shoes here.” Myles said approvingly.

“I personally like that smell. Reminds me that I’m a man” Bobby said.

“You need reminding” Jack quipped.

“A member of staff approached them “ My name is Serge, I’m your personal host for the day.” He said in an indistinguishable accent, that Bobby already had down as fake.

“Now now gentlemen, off with sose clothes. Towels are over sthere. We have a towel only policy in the steam room, as its communal. No nude steaming unless it is declared as such. No swimsuits and such like, as it would be so not Belle Image.” He handed each of the Agents a pile of towels. “Have you veapons?”

“Veapons,” Jack asked having trouble understanding Serge’s accent.

“Yes veapons guns and such like?” Serge’s patience with his FBI clients seemed to be wearing a bit thin. “You have to vear them, until I can get zee manager to lock them in safe” he shook his head and sauntered off.

The agents located a row of lockers and started to strip. All felt strangely self-conscious in this beautiful peoples paradise. Within minutes they all stood naked except for what Bobby described as a micro towel wrapped around their waists. Each agent wore a holster and gun slung over their bare chests.

“I wonder where Tara is keeping her gun?” Bobby asked to rattle Myles.

“I don’t think Agent Manning that is any of your business.” Said Myles huffily.

“I was just a little concerned, after all the last time she went to the beauty parlour she shot someone!” Bobby quipped.

“That was hardly the last time she went to a beauty parlour, and for your information it was a hairdressers!” Myles replied indignantly.

“You seem to know an awful lot about our Tara’s beauty regime?” Bobby couldn’t help himself.

“I’m just very observant, after all we are a surveillance unit.” Came Myles quick retort.

“Are we ready?” Jack asked, “Ok follow me.” Jack followed the signs to the communal steam room. “We shower first apparently” A few minutes later, with their towels clinging, in what Lucy deemed to be all the right places they entered the steam room.

The steam was so heavy that at first they didn’t realise that the girls were in there too. Which was really quite a good thing, as Tara, Sue and Lucy were thoroughly enjoying the view, their eyes having already acclimatised to the steam. Infact Lucy couldn’t decide which view she liked better. As Jack was Sue’s and Myles probably was Tara’s she decided that Bobby was a good place to start.

She gazed at Bobby his muscles were so clearly defined you couldn’t really miss them. Steam or no steam Lucy suddenly found Bobby very attractive. She swallowed hard before having another look. As the rivulets of condensation ran down his torso towards his towel, she couldn’t help but admire light feathering of body hair, which seemed to accentuate all the best bits. Having imagined for only a moment what secrets were hidden under the towel, she continued her journey of discovery. He had very nice legs, muscular but not overly so, his body was not only very attractive but truly powerful.

Bobby had spotted Lucy out of the corner of his eye. But had chosen to let her enjoy herself for a few moments longer.

“Enjoying yourself there Luce?” Jack asked.

“Just admiring the..the” What an earth could she admire in a steam room, “The tile work” She replied very unconvincingly.

“Is that what you call it nowadays?” Jack asked knowing full well what Lucy was admiring.

“There very white and…and” Lucy answered unable to think of the word she was looking for.

“Symmetrical” Myles voice could be heard through the steam. “I think would be the word you are looking for.

“Where’s Sue?” Jack asked. Lucy glanced to her right. Sue had vanished.

“She must of gone down the other end. Thought it was well less steamy down there!” Jack headed off in the direction Lucy had pointed.

“Now Jacks gone down there I think it will be decidedly more steamy.” Bobby quipped.

“I heard that Crash!” Jacks voice echoed through the steam.

“Hey where’s Tara?” Bobby asked.

Lucy turned to her left hand side Tara had been right here a minute ago, “She was right here.” She replied to Bobby.

“Myles? Myles?” Bobby received no answer. He looked at Lucy and raised his eyebrows “Bingo!”

“I think we need to find them, after all they could be in mortal danger.” Bobby said to Lucy anxious to catch Tara and Myles out once and for all.

“Did you say immoral danger?” Lucy giggled.

“Well that too” Bobby grinned.

“I’ve never been on a covert op before!” Lucy said enthusiastically. Bobby grabbed hold of her hand and said, “Follow me.”…

Ten minutes later….

The door to the steam room was thrown open and Bobby and Lucy staggered out. Having walked around the steam room a number of times and even surprised an unsuspecting couple that wasn’t Myles and Tara. They had given up.

“Water, I need water” Lucy cried desperately. Bobby stood gasping for air.

“My goodness looks like you‘ve over done it.” Bobby looked up to see where Myles voice was coming from. “I never knew a person could actually get that red and still be alive!” Myles added sarcastically.

Myles and Tara wrapped in their fluffy robes sat on adjoining loungers. Sipping iced water and reading the daily papers. Jack and Sue were similarly attired, sitting on a single lounger. Jack had his arms around Sue as they were laughing at pictures in a magazine.

Bobby was not amused. Lucy wanted to know how their plan had gone so wrong.

Serge appeared “Gentlemen you are five whole minutes late for vrapping” Bobby looked at him suspiciously. Serge was seriously weird. “Follow me. Follow me.”


More spa to follow

Too funny!!!! Can't type anymore now - laughing too hard.

I so can see it too... I just can't wait for the rest of this Helen. It is so good, I am sure I'll bust a gut before long laughing as I am.

LOL THAT IS SOOOOOO FUNNY! LOL more pleasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! and yes to Lucy and Bobby!

Oh, I am just about dying of laughter here!!! This is soooooooo funny!!! Can't wait for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that last post was amazing- Bobby and Lucy- yeah!!! I like that match.

I have to say the nurses talk was funny as anything- i could hear the words that were spoken clearly in my head. I have actually worked with some nurses who would have taken that approach- hehehe.

Bobby wants to eat his ocean wrap
Bobby - it reminds me I'm a man
Jack - you need to be reminded
Towel and a gun

Oh my, Mentor, you are so funny! I'm glad there is more spa to come! I think that would be a fun place to keep our favorites for a long time!

That was great, Mentor, just great! Very very nice descriptive words that had me daydreaming. Just what I needed before Algebra II. Keep up the very awesomely good work.

P.S.-It's gettin' hot in here!!!

-Jess

I agree with 'Vobby' Serge is very weird

That was so funny!! I can't wait for more posts from the spa.

Oh, my, I laughed so hard! I loved Myles response when Lucy was stammering over the tile work to cover up her embarrassment for checking out Bobby. GREAT job! Please post more soon!

My goodness, Mentor, real life has stalked me for too long and I need to concede some time. I just got caught up after way too long of an absense from this story.

You are doing an absolutely tremendous job. It's funny, romantic, real and I love how the team is all connected.

Keep it coming...wondering how J/S doing in the steam??? Or...maybe I should ask???

More from the spa…..


Serge had taken the agents robes, mumbled something totally incomprehensible, about their guns and then disappeared.

“So this is the treatment room then?” D. said, looking suspiciously at the array of equipment around them. There were four tables covered in plastic sheets and white towels. There were trolleys full of dubious looking instruments, and the shelves were stacked with a myriad of bottles containing the full colour spectrum of lotions.

“Has striking similarities to the morgue don’t you think?” Bobby felt strangely vulnerable.

“What was I thinking of, when I agreed to this?” Jack replied.

“Tara said that this treatment is very therapeutic. Apparently helps your lymphatic system drain efficiently. “ Myles said with an air of authority.

“I don’t know about you Jack, but my lymphatic system is very happy and content. It doesn’t need any help to the best of my knowledge.” Bobby stood prodding one of the treatment tables and let out a small yelp when it wobbled.

“The treatment tables are filled with hot water and you are lowered into them when you been wrapped.” Myles explained.

“That’s it I’m out of here, I’m not going to be trussed up like some boil in the bag tv dinner!” Bobby was heading towards the door when he stopped in his tracks.

“Hi you must be our FBI agents we’ve been looking forward to you all morning!” A petit blonde, therapist gave him a wink.

“Hi, I’m Bobby, this is Jack, D and Myles” Things are looking up Bobby thought to himself. Perhaps he could suffer just a little bit.

“I’m Jacynthe, and this is Jen, Ami and Allison. We’re your therapists. And gentlemen you need to strip!” She handed them each a square of white terrycloth no bigger than a handkerchief. “ Once you lying on the bed place this, well you’re big boys” She said raising her eyebrows and looking a Bobby’s towel “I don’t really need to tell you where that goes! do I? “ Bobby looked at her blankly “ It protects your manhood from well..over heating “ She said trying not to laugh.

“Just place a towel over the top as well, and we promise that we will only remove it when absolutely necessary!” Jen gave Jacynthe a disapproving glare, Jen was clearly in charge.

“The towel that is, not the terry cloth” Jacynthe said with a wink.

“Ok lets get started.” Jacynthe grabbed Bobby’s left hand and pulled him towards her table, whilst Allison had his right one.

“Ladies!” Jan said sternly. They both let go of his hands.

Bobby was a little disappointed. “You could always take it in turns!” he said optimistically.

“We let our guests choose their therapists here. Myles would you like Ami to be your personal therapist today? Jen asked.

“Oh my…Well…Er.. I…That would be very nice,” he spluttered, as he looked at the attractive young lady who stood before him. She took him by the hand and led him to a treatment table at the far end of the room.

“D, why don’t you let Allison work her magic on you?” Jen asked hoping that the older agent would see sense. After all if Allison looked after D, she would have that gorgeous groom to be all to herself! D. nodded, and followed Allison smiling. How was he going to describe this to Donna tonight?

“Jack would you like to follow me?” Jack looked at Bobby and seriously contemplated saying no. But it was too close to his wedding to pull a stunt on Bobby like that now. If he did the best mans speech would be at best dubious, at worst down right embarrassing. “That’s fine by me!” he said raising his eyebrows at Bobby.

Jacynthe grabbed Bobby’s hand before Jen changed her mind and practically dragged him to her treatment table. It wasn’t often she could get to grips with a body like this, in her working week!

Disclaimer Having Borrowed a number of board members without their permission. I promise not to put you back, but leave you in the spa forever with the Agents of your dreams!

Lol That was great! Those girls seemed a little anxious

Can't wait for more.

Oh this is just too funny! I'm stowing this idea away for future reference. LOL Mentor...this whole story is just brilliant. Keep it up!

Ten minutes later….

“ Do you really need to put anymore of that mud on me? Bobby grimaced. Not only was it surprisingly hot, but it was very, very smelly. His eyes were beginning to water.

“Thats about it now Bobby. Just need to wrap you." She gave him a smile, as she carefully cocooned him in layers of thick towel. She then flicked a switch and the cocoon sunk into the treatment table.

“Whoa Jack I’ve just been sucked into a water bed.” Bobby cried panicking.

“Relax, Bobby. Here let me gently massage your temples.” Jacynthe’s experienced hands worked swiftly and Bobby started to relax.

“This really is surprisingly good.” Myles mumbled to himself, Ami was an excellent therapist and he truly admired her professionalism, she hadn’t once taken her hands off of him in the last ten minutes.

“Jack are you ok?” D hadn’t heard him speak for sometime. He couldn’t see anything other than the swirling lights on the ceiling. He felt anything but relaxed, more like nauseous.

“ I’m just fine.” The warmth of the cocoon, the swirling lights and Jens head and neck massage had made his eyes feel heavy. He could feel himself slowly drifting off.

“Ok. Gents. We turn on some nice music, turn down the lights and let you relax for 30 minutes.” Jen said.

"Bobby? Myles? " D got no reply. " Anybody?"

D finally succomed to sleep, having decided the swirling lights really were going to make him sick, if he stared out them anymore.

Lucy Tara and Sue quietly opened the door to the treatment room and tiptoed in.

“Arghh look at them, they look so peaceful” Lucy said.

“Hurry up Tara, we don’t want them to wake up” Sue said anxiously.

Tara moved from table to table with her digital camera. Trying not to giggle. Monday mornings briefing was going to be a riot!

As Lucy and Tara moved towards the door, Sue stopped beside Jack. She gently lent over and kissed him. He stirred but didn’t wake up. She sighed contentedly, and followed the others out of the door.

Hehehe- those boys are NO MATCH for the girls!!!

Monday morning should definatly be something different from a usual monday morn. It even makes you wish for monday morn to come around- hehehe!

LOL the guys are going to be sooooo mad, LOL great job!

OMG, I literally fell off my chair laughing when I read the spa posts. That was just so hilarious!

I'm in SPA heaven with Bobby.. woo hoo!

:whistle: :laughs: :laughs:

wow! TOO FUNNY!!!!!!

Mentor, I can't wait for monday morning!

I finally caught up...Mentor, you write humor so tremendously well! The spa scene far exceeded my expectations...Awesome!

Oh wow, is this hilarious. hehe. I love the guys' spa experience. And might I say Ami, Jacynthe, Allison, and Jen, you are very lucky ladies. lol

Fantastic Helen! Oh how i would love to see those photos!

Sorry guys can't post tonight as Christmas Ball to go to. All dinner suits and evening dresses!

If I can still walk tomorrow will try and post in morning! Have purchased most gorgeous satin beaded sling back evening slippers! Seemed like a good idea at time! (Anyone remember the episode of friends when Monica bought those boots!")

Yep, it's all about the professionalism.

I realize you didn't write this part just for me, mentor, but I'm going to enjoy my early Christmas present! And yes, I'm married in real life, but hubby just spent two nights watching movies on the Hallmark channel because Kathy Ireland was in them, so.... :whistle:

Mentor, the shoes sound lovely...sorry they're not comfortable. Have fun!

Have a great time at the Ball...and then get back here and continue writing...these guys need that mud cleaned off of them...

The day after, I'm still laughing at Bobby's “Whoa Jack I’ve just been sucked into a water bed.” line....

Have fun at the Christmas Ball Helen. I'll be keeping vigil over the guys, just to make sure they don't need anything while you're gone. :whistle:

Hope the ball goes well!!! It sounds wonderful. Everyone needs a chance to dress up every once in a while! Looking forward to more when you've got the chance. It's an amazing story!

Christmas Ball was great. please to report both shoes and I survived the evening!

However decided to take up Ice skating this afternoon! Not a wise decision. I need a smilie with a bandage!

Monday 22nd December

Sue and Lucy huddled around Tara’s desk, previewing the images from the Spa. She had been editing them into a slide show to be shown at an opportune moment.

“Well I think Myles looks kinda cute all wrapped up like that, sleeping like a baby.” Tara said, with a beaming smile on her face.

“Well that’s one way to describe him, not the description I would choose myself, but then I suppose your description is a little bias” Lucy said still digging. However hard she and Bobby had tried to catch Myles and Tara out yesterday they couldn’t.

Tara revealed another image.

“Oh my god is that Bobby’s….?” Lucy cried gleefully

“Elbow Luce. It’s his elbow” Sue said.

“Sue that is not his elbow, blow it up Tara and put it on the big screen. That can’t be his elbow” Lucy said excitedly.

Tara followed Lucy’s instructions “Sorry to disappoint you Lucy but I really think, that is a close up of an elbow, but there are some more interesting images I can show you of Bobby!”

“There are? What are you waiting for? Show them to me now!” Lucy demanded.

“Ok here’s the…” Tara stopped as she saw Jack enter the bullpen Later she signed.

“Morning Ladies you’re here bright and early.” Jack was surprised that they were all in before him. “Hey we get the recruits back this morning, apparently my new training methods went down a storm in the directors office!”

“But Jack you abandoned them all over the Hoover building” Sue said with a puzzled look on their face.

“ Apparently the directors like the idea that they practise their information gathering techniques independently, said it showed which recruit was capable of using their initiative” Jack explained what D had just told him.

“So what exactly did you tell them to do?” Lucy asked.

“As you know I left them all with different teams. I told them to find out what each team did, and how they operated. Told them they couldn’t tell the teams who they were just that they were on temporary assignment for the day!”

Lucy smiled. Jack had just wanted to ditch them for an hour, and had expected each unit to work out they had a recruit and send them back to him. When Jack had sent Bobby to find out what had happened, they had all infiltrated their units and were doing their first bit of undercover work.

“Who have thought it eh?” Jack shook his head, he remembered reading the reports he had asked them to prepare. He had made some interesting discoveries about his fellow FBI agents that afternoon.

“So they are back for more of your innovative training methods then? “ Lucy asked with a smirk.

“No not mine. I’m delegating. Crash can have them today, unless Sue wants them of course?” Jack said teasingly.

“No I think Bobby will do just fine Jack” Sue said “ He’s much more inventive than I am!” Jack raised his eyebrows maybe she had a point.

Bobby came into the bullpen followed by the recruits….

“Ok we’re back to basics today. Pull up a chair in front of the screen. Tara is going to put on a training tape. It lasts about ten minutes, and I’ll be happy to take questions. If anyone needs the team we are having a meeting in the conference room. But I promise to back in ten.” Bobby grinned at them; they could definitely have the trip to the morgue this afternoon if they didn’t lighten up.

Ten minutes later…

“Any questions?” Bobby asked enthusiastically. One of the recruits put their hand up. Bobby nodded for her to go ahead.

“Agent Manning, how often do you work out? And is Lucy your girlfriend?”

“Pardon me?” Bobby said, surprised at the question.

“Well I assume we were looking at photos of your team on an undercover assignment?”

Bobby looked puzzled. “ No you were watching Basic Procedures I.”

“Yes and after that finished we watched you and your team, on a undercover assignment at a spa!” The recruit explained eagerly.

“You did?” Bobby could see Tara making animated hand gestures at him from her desk. “Hang on, just a minute” Bobby walked over to Tara’s desk, she explained what had happened. “Somehow they go my slideshow from yesterday!”

“What slide show?” Bobby asked suspiciously

“It was going to be a surprise!” Tara hissed. “Tell them it was an undercover drugs bust!”

“You’re going to owe me one” Bobby teased.

“Look just get them out of here before Jack gets back! It was suppose to be joke. I’ve got pictures of him in that bathing costume that Sue gave him!”

“Can I see them?” Bobby asked.

“Bobby I’ve got a picture of you in a very skimpy towel, not to mention a dubious shot of your elbow!” Tara continued.

Bobby shook his head. Tara must have had too much sugar on her cornflakes this morning “A dubious shot of my elbow? Tara I can’t see what the problem is, so you have a few shots from the spa. Hardly incriminating evidence is it?”

“Bobby you haven’t seen them” Tara was getting frustrated. Bobby was getting confused.

“Ok have it your way” Bobby returned to the recruits.

“Got it sorted! Undercover at a spa, is the sort of tricky situation that any special agent might find himself or herself having to deal with. One of the biggest problems I myself had, was where to conceal my weapon……


5.00pm bullpen….

“Bobby The Deputy Director wants to know the name of the training dvd you used on undercover assignments this morning? Apparently your recruits gave it rave reviews.” Jack looked at Bobby expectantly for an answer.

“Er you better check with Tara mate. Can’t remember what it was called exactly s.p.a. I think! I’m sure she will send a copy up to the directors office.” Bobby made a hasty exit. Tara could sort this one out.

Jack strolled over to Tara’s desk and dug around in the drawer. He located a dvd with s.p.a. training written on it. Thinking to himself that must be the one! He slipped it in an envelope and put it in the internal post to the deputy directors office, before he left for the night.

Oh my God, Helen that was priceless! I so want to see the face of the deputy director if this is the tape I think he just sent...

oh mentor, you are too funny :laughs:

OMG can't believe that!!!!!!!

Priceless, simply priceless!
