Gina, This is great! So true to character for them both! Especially Jack sticking his foot in his mouth with a reference to Tony. Now, I guess we all have to sit by and watch as he shoves the other one in there, too?

Jack should really not have asked Sue about Tony!! What was he thinking?? Oh, that's right -he wasn't!!!

I'm glad he realized that he wasn't moving too quickly!! That's as silly as asking about Tony!! Jack, you've got her hand and her attention - now tell her!!!

Joy

YEAH!

Besides... WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE, JACK??

Tina

Well, I don't want anyone getting a 2x4 to Jack, so here's a short one, a "snippet," I believe it's called, to tide you over until tomorrow!

Thanks for reading, and Enjoy!

Sue just stood there, looking at him, waiting for him to continue. She wasn’t about to make this easy on him. She’d been doing that way too much over the course of the past four years.

At first, she didn’t want to be forward. Her parents had taught her that a woman does not throw herself at a man. The first time she hugged Jack, on the steps of the courthouse, she felt something, saw something in his eyes that told her that he didn’t exactly mind her hugging him. As much as she enjoyed it, she instantly felt guilty and embarrassed. After that, she learned about the non-fraternization rule, and thought, “well, that’s the end of that,” and went on. She dated a few guys, but nobody ever measured up to Jack.

She had noticed that whenever Jack wanted to get her attention, if he were within arms reach, he would reach over and touch her arm, her hand, or her shoulder. Sometimes it seemed that he would make a special trip across the room to be able to do this. None of the other team members touched her as much as he did. He didn’t think anyone noticed – but they did. Her blushes and verbal stumbles weren’t the only reason they got teased incessantly about their fake marriage, their fake affair, etc. Jack was just as bad.

So why was it so hard for him to spill it? Was he that scared of commitment? Surely not. He was one of the most committed men she knew, in so many ways. She knew she could count on him for anything. She stood there, staring into his eyes, and sighed again. This time she didn’t even know she’d done it.

Her sigh seemed to wake him out of a trance. He pulled the hand that he was holding to his lips and then said, “Aw, Sue. How do you tell somebody that they mean more to you than your next breath?”



See you tomorrow!

Awww Gina.....

I have so much I need to do tonight, but now I'm just going to be thinking about that last line and conjuring up all the possibilities the next post holds. Can I give them YOUR name at work tomorrow when I tel them I didn't finish what I should have?

Really? I can? Thanks bunches!!

Tina

Can you hear me sighing?
Oh, let me count the days.....just one, maybe? Until I'm a puddle? I think I'll have sweet dreams tonight of Jack

Lynn

Aw, Gina. That sounded so like Jack.

Ok, everybody together now - AWWWWWWWW! It's about time Jack, you just missed that 2x4.

Thanks for the comments!

Enjoy - Wednesdays are big days around here, and I won't post again until tomorrow . . . !

Sue just stood there, getting angrier by the minute. Oh, she knew that she should be overjoyed that he was almost admitting that he loved her – ALMOST – but it made her mad that it took her almost leaving TWICE to get even THIS MUCH out of him.

“Jack Hudson, who do you think you are? You think that you can just wait until the last minute, tell me how much I ‘mean’ to you, and that I should just cave in and melt into a puddle at your feet. Well, mister, I’ll tell you one thing – if I mean so much to you, then why are you just now telling me?” Sue was so angry that she actually stamped her foot, pulled her hand away from his, and put both hands on her hips as she turned her fiery glare on him.

Jack was speechless. He had seen her angry, but never like this. It kind of stirred him up inside, and he wasn’t sure if it was in a good way or a bad way. He almost thought – in a good way.

“Sue . . .” Jack began, never getting his thought out of the starting gate. She wasn’t through with him yet. She was mad, and getting madder the longer she talked. It was as if four years of dancing around had finally come to a head, and it was ALL coming out, whether Jack Hudson was ready for it or not.

“I’ve looked at you every time I’ve gone on any kind of date with anyone. You always look like you’ve lost your best friend. You know what? None of those guys ever had a chance. I was yours no matter what, and you had to know that. Poor David . . . I really hurt him, and he was a nice guy. After the football game in the park, I couldn’t take it any more. I couldn’t look at him that day without looking to see if you were looking at us. In the meantime, I had to watch you traipse off with the Allies, Jessicas, and Rhondas of this world – all of whom, I might add, are way more attractive and exciting than me. Ooooo . . . I could just SCREAM sometimes, Jackson Samuel Hudson,” she said, as she saw his eyes start to light up with laughter. “And don’t you DARE laugh at me!” she yelled as she marched herself into her bedroom and slammed the door.

Jack stood there, looking toward the doorway she had just gone through, and whistled through his teeth. He looked down at Levi, and simply said, “I’m just glad she’s not issued a gun,” as he collapsed onto the couch with a lopsided grin on his face. Levi put his chin on his Jack’s knee and whined in agreement.

That was fantastic. Sue's reaction seems so real. Now, how is Jack going to handle this?

I've just read your story so far. I think it's wonderful and you've captured Sue's reaction perfectly. I could just see this playing out on the screen like this.

Take care,

Sairs

Perfection Regina! Besides the line Ivory quoted, which I I loved this line....it just came bursting out....I wonder if Sue even realized what she said!

And Jack, just relaxing on the couch, not going after her....and how is Sue going to react once she calms down? Is she going to be embarrassed? As I said, Regina

But, I just have one teeny question. Just what did Sue mean by "almost leaving TWICE"? Did she make the decision in that instant to not leave? Did you think you could slip those three little words in without us noticing?

Lynn

Ah! I just meant she hasn't left YET, at this point in the story! You're sneaky! And BTW, the 2x4 might need to stick around, just in case . . .



Regina

Lynn

Regina, I just read your last two posts!! I melted during the first one!! I could just see Jack standing there with that puppy-dog look of his!! Be still my heart!!!

And, then on the second post, I'm sorry, Sue, but I had to chuckle!! You're absolutely right, he should have stepped up to the plate a long time ago!! He knows you are mad enough at him to kill him, but he loves what you said and I could tell from the way he reacted to your outburst that he thinks you're very cute when you're steamed!!!

Now, Regina, what is Jack going to do?? Sit on the sofa until Sue calms down and comes out of her room?? I hope he will be ready to say more than he's said already!!!

This is a great story, Regina, I love it!!!

Joy

Sue's reaction was so real and I'm glad that she flew off the handle like that. Jack needed to know how she felt about his "sudden" affection for her just because she was leaving... again!

Now he's gotta think about what he's going to say when she finally comes out of the bedroom. The truth should work, but I think he needs to go the extra mile and cook her dinner!

I'm still clinging to the word - almost. Gives us hope that Sue isn't quite mad enough to push Jack away forever. Still, he really needs to handle this with kid gloves.

Jackson Samuel Hudson! Don't you dare blow this!

Kim

Whoooo-eeee!
I hope Jack remembers all of his evasive training from Quantico - I think he just may need it before Sue forgives him! Maybe he should send Levi in ahead of him... Sue won't hurt him and maybe he can settle her down a bit so Jack can grovel for forgiveness... and get started on the kissing...

Tina

come on jack..break in her room...make sure she knows now.

You do know how to play with a girl's emotions, Gina! Grrrrrrrrrrrr. I was ready to smack Jack when I read this: But thankfully I didn't have to because you snapped him out of turtling. I can see Sue losing her cool -- she's in enough emotional turmoil as it is and I don't think Jack grinning helped any.

kav

Thanks so much for all the comments!! Lynn, I had no idea there actually WAS a 2x4 smilie! Cool! I was almost afraid you'd all get the 2x4 out on ME for delaying fuzziness and making Sue hopping mad - but I couldn't resist. I know I'VE been mad a Jack for his turtle-ways!

Thanks for reading!!

Regina

When Sue got into the bedroom, she had to admit she felt better than she had in weeks. There was something cathartic about letting her temper go and getting those thoughts and feelings out in the open. She was still a little angry at what he had said, but as she emptied dresser drawers into boxes and started sorting out the stuff from her closet, she calmed down – until she got to the jersey.

When she wanted to feel loved, or feel close to Jack, she would get the jersey out and put it on. That first Christmas in DC, he had given it to her before he left for Wisconsin. She had given him the same thing. They had laughed over the ‘great minds’ idea of them both knowing the perfect gift when they saw it. It was just one of those shared moments that were indelibly etched on her heart. There were so many.

Tears smarting in her eyes, she looked at her clock, not realizing that she had been in here for nearly three hours – it was nearly two o’clock in the afternoon. Jack had to have gone by now. She was a little chagrined to realize that she had barged in here and slammed the door, leaving poor Levi out there.

She opened the door quietly, calling for Levi. When he didn’t come, she wandered into the hallway, finding a note on the hall table. “Took Levi and myself out for a walk. I figure if I’m going to be in the doghouse, I may as well spend my time with a dog I like. I won’t keep him out long – it’s still pouring outside. Jack.”

Sue couldn’t help but giggle at the note, but she wasn’t about to let him off the hook this easily. It wouldn’t hurt to let him squirm just a little.

She went into the kitchen. There was another note on the island. “I’m bringing back lunch – or supper – whatever you call it when you miss lunch and don’t know when you’re going to get the next meal. I know I’m hungry, and you will be too. Don’t be mad. I called Lucy and asked her not to come home too early. We need to talk. I hope the storm clouds have cleared inside the apartment. Jack.”

Sue smiled, noting the boyishness in his ‘don’t be mad’ request. She had forgotten, in her anger, to even bring her blackberry into the bedroom with her. When she checked it, she noticed that she had five missed calls on her phone – all from Lucy. She hit the “call” button and was rewarded with a quick answer.

“Sue! Are you OK? I’ve been trying to call all day!” Lucy was concerned, but she was also curious – especially after Jack’s request that she not come home too early.

“I’m fine. I just got started working on packing stuff in the bedroom and forgot my blackberry in the living room,” she said, a little hesitant to tell her friend how she had lost her temper.

“Have you seen Jack? He called and asked me not to come home too early. He said you two had some things to talk about. So . . . have you talked?” she asked, and even a deaf Sue could almost see the knowing look and smile on Lucy’s face.

“Actually, Jack’s taken Levi out for a walk, and then he’s bringing us back some lunch. I, uh, kind of barricaded myself in my bedroom for a while, and left them in the other room. He left me a note,” Sue said, quietly.

“I . . . see,” Lucy said, figuring she would get the details eventually. Right now, it was enough to know that there was SOME kind of emotional upheaval going on over there today, if it wasn’t the kind she had hoped for. Maybe when they make up? Hmmmm. “Well, girlfriend, if you need me, you have only to buzz, and I’ll be there.”

“I know, Luce, and thank you. I think there are some things that just need to be said before we can move on, you know?” Sue sounded a little nervous, and a little sad.

“I know. Call me when the smoke clears. Talk to you later. Bye,” Lucy said. ‘Lord,’ Lucy prayed in her head, shaking her head a little, ‘please bring these two to their senses before they kill each other – or the rest of us!’

Well, I'm afraid I can't take credit for being the first to use that little smilie. Actually, I don't usually get that kind of thought about my Jack. I must have been really frustrated the other day to have said what I did. But then, since I had already used it I decided yesterday I would follow thru and go find the smilie.

I don't usually take the time to go to the Show All Smileys screen but for you I did> Yikes>>>my keyboard is acting up again>>>>I Hate it when that happens>>>i have to stop<<<<cut and paste what i"ve written so far and shut my pc down and reboot>>>>

but i don"t have time for that now>>>>so please ignore all these strange char and punct>>>>anyway>>>i believe Linny was the first to use the two x four (#s don't even work)>>>if not i apologize to whoever was the first to use that little smiley>>>now in case your wondering why the para below is okay>>>>i wrote it first>>>

Regina, even though I am anxious to get to the "I love you, please don't go" Jack and "I love you too and I won't go" Sue, getting into Sue's mind was very revealing. I especially liked the way three hours passed and Sue working her anger off with the physical activity of packing, even though I know she's just going to have to unpack again.

Of course, she doesn't realize that yet. But then, she could just leave everything packed and move it over to Jack's place after a hurried wedding!

Then Jack's notes, and her reaction to them, well, let's just say I have this warm glow of anticipation for the wonderfully rated 4F post 'coming soon to a computer screen near you', as they used to say about previews of coming attractions at the movies, altered to fit this era: Future Forever Fuzzilicious Feeling!

Lynn

I love Jack's little notes to Sue!! And, I get the feeling she is definitely ready to cave, as soon as she gives him a little more grief!! I love it!!!

Joy

You don't have to be sad Sue, and the only kind of MOVING ON you have to do is WITH Jack... NOT to LA!



SMOKE doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing!!

Tina

I too, hope the storm clouds are over...and that there is a silver lining beneath!


Kim

I somehow get the feeling that Jack is not going to be in the doghouse for too long.
I can't wait to see what happens when he returns with Levi. That was cute how Lucy checked in with Sue.

Again, thanks for all the great comments. Maybe we won't have to get the 2x4 out quite yet. Here's a bonus for tonight - tomorrow night I have the honor of judging a 4H Variety Show!

When Sue had received the job offer with the Los Angeles Field Office as Senior Investigative Analyst, nobody thought she would even think about it. New York was one thing – at least it had the benefit of being on the same coast – but Los Angeles? Sue just didn’t seem like an “LA” type of girl.

Only Lucy and Tara were aware of how tense things had gotten between Jack and Sue. After the sudden relief of Sue’s not leaving for New York, things seemed to go right back to where they were before that fateful day when Jack was the last to know that she had changed her mind, and was staying. Lunches, after-work dinners, bringing her coffee in the morning, just the way she liked it – all these things were nice, but it was as if Jack were afraid to take it to the next level. The level of commitment.

Jack also knew that things were not right. He had been so nervous about ruining their friendship by declaring how he felt, that he hadn’t thought about the fact that he was ruining their friendship by not trusting Sue with his thoughts and feelings.

“Levi, I don’t know why you even want to hang out with me,” he told the dog as they walked through the park under a large umbrella.

Levi simply looked up at him adoringly, and gave him a sympathetic “woof,” which made Jack smile.

They picked up the Chinese food and made their way back to the apartment, where Jack hoped Sue would be waiting for them, and not still holed up in her room. “So this is what marriage is like when you’re in trouble, huh, fella? It’s not all perks, is it?”

When Sue had been offered the job in Los Angeles, she had gone to him first – even before Lucy. She wasn’t about to make the same mistake as last time, not telling him. He had read her the riot act about that. It hadn’t been that he minded that she told Lucy first – just that she hadn’t told him before the rest of the team. He knew he was being possessive. She was just special to him, that’s all. As close as he was to Bobby, Sue had become his best friend in almost no time.

Using the door key that had been lying on the table by the door, he let himself and Levi in. Sue couldn’t hear him knock, and Levi wasn’t there to let her know they were there. Looking down the hallway, he noticed that her bedroom door was open, and that it was more orderly-looking than before. The hockey jersey was no longer in a pile of clothes on the floor. He didn’t even see it. ‘I hope she didn’t burn it while we were gone,’ he thought, with a grimace.

He left his wet jacket and umbrella in the hallway, and wiped his feet carefully before stepping off the rug by the front door. Gingerly making his way to the kitchen, he told Levi, “Go get Sue,” and sent him on his way.

She was waiting for him in the kitchen, freshly showered, wearing his hockey jersey and fresh makeup. She had set the table with her grandmother’s china and two tall candles. She looked up at him when Levi announced his presence. “I figured since this might be the last time we eat together for a while, we may as well use the good dishes,” she said, a brighter look about her, but still tightness in her voice. “I got your notes.”

He set the food on the counter, eyes never leaving hers, trying to read her thoughts. The fact that she was wearing the jersey had to mean something. Had she forgiven him for being such a jerk? Was this her way of saying she wasn’t angry anymore?

“It’s still raining pretty hard out there,” he said, trying to make small-talk, and failing utterly.

“So I see,” she said, dishing up the food and pouring sodas into glasses. When she set the food and drinks on the table, she turned to sit, finding Jack had come around and was holding her chair for her. “Thank you, Jack,” she said.

Regina !!!!! How am I going to wait until day after tomorrow for the rest of this post? I'm
here, one-fourth
waiting for Jack to make his move so the other three-fourths of me can join up with that part that has aleady melted !!!! More,

Lynn

Aye-yi-yi, this is torture. For Pete's sake, Jack... just kiss her already and pour your heart out. PLEASE???

Tina

OKay, Jack, now don't blow this.

I had forgotten how exasperating Jack can be, at least with Regina's help!!! LOL

Joy

wow! It was wow! I love the way which Sue reacts when Jack said "Aw.. Sue..." Go girl!!

and please Regina, more!! like the other girls are saying THIS IS TORTURE!!!

tERE

Sigh. I've come home from work early because of a pulled muscle (I hope) in my back. If I might recommend, be very careful lifting when swapping one monstrous computer monitor for another . . .

The good news is, I'm off the hook for the 4H Variety Show, so I'll give you a post today! There will only be this one and 2-3 more, so the end is near - your torture is almost over . . .

I wonder what's going on with the rest of the team during all this Sue and Jack wrangling?



Enjoy, and see you tomorrow!

Regina

The team had gone into full surveillance mode after Lucy talked to Jack, and then Sue. Lucy was the lead agent on this case.

“Tara,” Lucy said, about an hour after talking to Sue, “what do we know about the movements of our two suspects?”

Tara was sitting at her computer, the glow of the monitor giving her face a greenish tinge before she put her information up on the large screen. “Well, we know Sue hasn’t left the apartment. Her GPS signal has remained stationary, at the apartment. Jack’s on the other hand, has made quite a trip today. Here are his movements, in chronological order. First he wandered around the park – in the rain, I might add – and then ended up at the apartment, where he stayed for about an hour. Then, his signal wandered up and down the streets making a few stops, around the park again, went to the Chinese restaurant, and has now landed back at the apartment, where his signal is suspiciously close to Sue’s signal,” Tara said, an arched brow and smile on her face hoping for the best. “They’re either getting along or involved in hand-to-hand combat.”

“Apparently, our male suspect has purchased several takeout containers from Wong’s restaurant, around the corner from the apartment. My sources tell me that we can expect to find a variety of Chinese dishes on the premises. Oh, and probably some fortune cookies. We weren’t able to get a trace on the actual sentiments on said cookies, but we can only hope that they will help the process and not hinder it,” Myles reported dryly. “I wonder if this Wong is from Hong Kong?” he asked, Lucy rolling her eyes at him from her desk.

“Having followed Jack from here to the location of the fair Ms. Thomas’ flat on more than one occasion, I would have to agree with Tara’s timeline. It all tracks. Unfortunately, for a special agent, our male suspect is woefully predictable. I plan to make a detour through the female suspect’s neighborhood, see if the male suspect’s vehicle is still at the scene, and then will inform our lead agent as to the status of the apartment,” Bobby said, his dimples in full bloom now. “In other words, I’ll let you know if it’s safe to go home,” he said, laughing.

“What do you think, D? Do you think we’ve got the suspects where we want them?” Lucy asked, arching her brow and smiling wickedly at him.

D had come in as Tara was giving her report, and had stifled laughter through all three. “I think our two suspects don’t have a chance with all of you on the case. Keep me posted, team,” he said, slyly, as he walked back to his office.



More to come!

Regina, you are so clever. I wish I could think up scenes like this. That was awesome. I especially loved this line..... And this one too.... Poor Jack...he is the butt of so much teasing, much more so than Sue.

Lynn

Yeah, but he's like that really cute, really cool guy that always seems to take it in stride, isn't he? Gotta love Jack!!!

Regina

Oh, I got so engrossed in the post I forgot to say I'm sorry you pulled a muscle in your back. As one who has arthritis in the lower back, I can empathize with you. Take care of yourself and do what the Dr says, now!

Lynn

They are really enjoying themselves

I like the phrase 'our suspects'

Tere

Too funny. They really don't stand a chance, do they? But what does Sue mean about it being their last chance to eat together. Jack better do some sweet talking (or sweet kissing ) before it's too late.

kav

That was uproariously funny watching the team as they surveilled Jack and Sue.

Well, at least he didn't saying anything about it being the wong place at the wong time again... That was bad enough the first time.

Only one more post after this one! Thanks for the comments. I enjoyed thinking about what the team was doing with their time . . . I just hope nothing was happening that would threaten national security that day, and I couldn't resist bringing back "Mr. Wong from Hong Kong!!!"

And now, back to the story . . .

Regina

It was a quiet meal. They finally decided to call it “lupper,” since it was too late for lunch, and too early for supper, but would take the place of both. Levi was as relaxed as he could be, considering the tension that both his mistress and his other favorite human was exhibiting. 'People,' he thought, and whined a little.

They both felt some better after eating, and Sue made a fresh pot of coffee while Jack discarded the containers and put the leftovers in the refrigerator. Carrying their coffee into the living room to sit in front of the fire on this rainy spring day, Jack finally set his cup on the coffee table and turned to face Sue.

Touching her arm to call her back from wherever her thoughts had taken her, he said, “Sue, we have to talk. I have to talk.”

“I’m not going anywhere. Oh . . .,” she said, at first a little grumpily, but then with realization and a mist of tears in her eyes as she realized that she was, indeed, preparing to go somewhere – across the country, in fact. She looked up at him with the unshed tears in her eyes, and said, “so, what did you want to say. I don’t think there will be an interruptions this time,” she said, recalling the last time Jack had said very similar words in the hallway of the Hoover Building six months ago. That time it was Myles who interrupted whatever Jack had planned to say, and he never said it.

The tears made him want to do anything but talk, but he knew he couldn’t keep it in any longer. He reached over and caressed her cheek with his hand. “Sue, I don’t want you to go. If you do go, I hope you’re prepared for me to follow you out there,” he said.

“Oh Jack,” she said, closing her eyes for a second to blink back the tears, “why don’t you want me to go, and why would you follow me out there?” If he could just tell her how he felt, she knew they could make it work. If he didn’t love her, she would learn to be satisfied with his overwhelming friendship. If he did . . . well, she wouldn’t go there – not yet.

“Do you remember what I told you earlier? I said you mean more to me than my next breath. I meant that. Sue, I love you. When I’ve been in danger, it’s been you I think of. My first instinct, always, is to protect you. I guess what I’m trying to say, in my own foolish way, is that I’ve been protecting you from me, and me from you.”

“Jack, I love you, too . . . but what on earth do you mean?” Sue asked, thrilling at the fact that he loved her, but confused about his protective mechanism that seemed to be keeping them apart.

“This is going to sound really crazy, I’m afraid. I guess I was trying to guard my heart against getting broken. I couldn’t stand the thought of not having your friendship. It’s the most important friendship I’ve ever known. When I first realized how special you were, I thought, yeah, she’s a great girl. I can talk to her about anything, pretty much, that I can talk to Bobby about. Then I realized, I guess it was before we went undercover on the Dessa case, and especially after that, that you were more than a friend to me. I think I knew when I had that heart attack, but I was too scared about everything else to think about it. Am I making any sense?” he asked, looking deeply into her eyes to get a glimmer of understanding, but all he saw was love shining back at him.

“Jack, I was scared, too. I’ve never had a friend like you or the team since Judy. I was afraid of losing that, afraid of breaking the rules and messing things up. I guess the main thing that I was afraid of was that you couldn’t possibly love me as much as I loved you. In my experience, guys like you don’t look twice at girls like me . . .,” she said as she was interrupted by Jack’s kiss.

The kiss in the dragon lady’s office was sweet, but this was unlike anything either of them had ever experienced. With this kiss, all the years of insecurity flew away from Sue, and all the years of searching for “the one” ended for Jack. Four years of simple touches under the guise of making sure Sue was in the loop, four years of gazing at one another across the bullpen, four years of mis-steps and embarrassing moments, of matchmaking friends and chance encounters.

It all ended tonight – ten days before Sue was to report to the LA Field Office of the FBI . . .



See you tomorrow!!

I just love to see our team in action!! And, I know if they were doing something like surveilling Jack and Sue they would be just as professional as in more serious times!! I love the way they threw themselves into "the case"!! And, the "Mr. Wong from Hong Kong" statement was as funny here as it was on the show!!!

At last!! Jack loves Sue and she knows it!! Sue loves Jack and he knows it!! They are kissing!! All is right with the world............except Sue has to leave for L.A.!!!

Joy

they talk to each other!!

till tomorrow!

Tere

At last! Finally! Saints be praise! They admitted their love! Now, about that pesky little job change to LA...

Kim

What wonderful writing!

Ten days...you know, a lot can happen in ten days in regard to a job transfer. Right, Gina?

Yes, a great deal can happen in ten days... heck... a lot can happen in a day.

Go all Jack! Tell her she can't go!

I'm with all the others, whew!!!!! They finally said it and I'm on And that kiss!

Now, come on Regina, how you going to fix Sue's resume?

Lynn

Now that my killer week is over and my dinner party for 19 was successfully done I have finally had an opportunity to catch up on your story, Regina...

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

Now I can't wait to read the rest!!

- RSL

Happy Dance!!

Perhaps D could be instrumental in seeing that Sue's position in LA becoumes suddently unavailable? Or filled twice by mistake and they decide the other hire is more the LA type? Or... I'll let you tell the story and shut up...

Tina (Happy Dance!!)

Which ever way it goes, Sue's. I bet they never let her on the transfer list again. They're going to think she's a professional ditz! Of course, she's never going to want to leave DC again anyway, so that's not going to matter!

kav
