Jack was starting to feel a bit bad for having to say no again. She had offered him a drink and he had politely declined, but now she was offering him something else . . . a cookie. And to keep rejecting the offer felt a bit, rude. Though he also knew it wasn't exactly good to show up announced. Should she join his team, being prepared for all sorts of circumstances was a requirement. But not exactly like this. With her in a bath robe. Clearly, he had caught her at a bad time. Not to mention the fact that Levi was also drenched.

He was fairly certain there was a story there . . . one that he found himself wanting to here ever since the flicker of curiosity crossed his gaze as she first opened the door. "Uh, sure," he finally accepted with a smile and nod of his head as she insisted on the cookie. "Thanks," he gratefully and preemptively stated. Truth was, he was rather intrigued by Sue and even though they had just met, already found himself quite enjoying her company. "I can wait here if you need to . . ." Hoping she would understand his unfinished sentence as he caught himself staring over her, clearly hinting towards her possible need to change into some clothes.

A cookie?! . . . . a cookie? . . . . . A COOKIE?!?!?!

"Great!" She said, and looked down at Levi, wishing he had the training to step on her foot to stop her from talking. Looking back to Jack, a real FBI agent like she was wanting to be, she noticed he said something that made it all worse--he would wait here while . . . OH! . . . . OH right! She wasn't dressed--she was almost naked in front of the handsome FBI agent who she needed to impress in order to get a job! "Yes. I . . . I will be back." She said, pulling the robe tighter to her, and then walking back to the bed room. Shutting the door, she quickly dried off and pulled on some jeans, a bra, and a sweat shirt with a arty logo on it. Pausing by the mirror she frantically used her fingers to brush her hair into half neatness.

Walking out she grabbed a towel for Levi. "Levi jumped in to tell me someone was here." She explained, bending to towel dry him a little. Looking up at Jack she made sure she was paying attention to both what she was doing and looking at him in case he spoke to her. Levi was trained to react to her name from people, but she didn't want to miss something. Standing once he wasn't dripping, Sue moved toward the small kitchen and pulled out some oatmeal raisin cookies. "I hope you like these?"

Jack gave a small nod as he watched her walk off into what he presumed was her bedroom. He stood there, watching Levi as Levi watched him. Fortunately, it was not much longer until Sue came out and started to dry off Levi, explaining that he had jumped in to let Sue know that he was here. "That's good that he's so, enthusiastic about his job," Jack said with a smile, a tease in his voice though he did mean it.

Levi had been what initially intrigued Jack about Sue in regards to wanting to find out more about who she was. Well, that and the fact that she was a rather beautiful woman. Levi just happened to be a great conversation starter. He took a few more steps into the apartment from the hallway, landing him in the living room where Sue brought him a cookie. His smile grew when he took notice of what type they were. "Oatmeal raisin," he acknowledged, as he took one in his hand. "They just happen to be my favourite type of cookie," he revealed. Taking a bite of it, he savoured the flavour, chewing and swallowing before continuing. "So you recently moved to DC?" He asked, wanting to know more about her.

Sue

Yes, but she loved him and his tactics. "Maybe a little too much?" She joked, knowing that Levi had a past that sometimes made him a little more . . . how did he say it? Enthusiastic about his job. Levi didn't like loud sounds because of a past where he was abused. It made her want to work with animals to help them, but she liked her job here too much to even thinking about switching--besides, if this worked out then she could maybe be an agent and help people and animals!

Jack said this was his favorite cookie, and Sue made a amused but disbelieving face before setting them to the side. "We did. I moved from Ohio, and picked Levi up on the way. So we are both new to the city." Not wanting things to get awkward--and she had learned to avoid awkward long ago--she explained a funny part of her trip so that she shared information and humor. "I even got a warning ticket just out side of DC as a souvenir!" She had been going a little over the limit, and the officer didn't know she was deaf. She she had not heard him tell her what to do.

Jack continued to smile, taking another bite of the cookie as she answered his question, explaining that they both had just moved here. "Well in that case, welcome to Washington," he properly greeted.
"If you ever need recommendations of good places to eat, or places to visit, just let me know." Even if he wasn't successful in transferring her over to his team -- though he was determined to do so -- he hoped they could still stay in touch.

He even almost offered to show her those places himself but had to fight back the suggestion. Fortunately, he had a cookie to occupy his mouth rather than spouting out questions of what would sound like asking her out on a date. Which, he supposed is exactly what it would have been. She spoke of getting a warning ticket, smiling at what he was sure had a story to it. "A warning ticket for what?" He asked, hoping it wasn't too intrusive of him to do so.

Sue

"I will take you up on that," Sue promised, wishing he would offer to go with her. She wanted to make friends and to be honest, she liked Jack. He was respectful, believed in her and . . . yes, even handsome. Sue knew that nothing could come of her little crush, but she could be friends. If he wanted that. "Maybe you can show them to me? I haven't made many friends here yet." She took a risk and said, making sure that she explained about the friends part. Jack surely had someone in his life??? How could he not?

He asked about her ticket, and she smiled, watching his lips as he ate the cookie. She liked his lips. Pointing to her ear she grinned before dropping her hand. "I couldn't hear the siren. My backseat was full and I didn't see it either until he had followed me a few miles. He wasn't happy until he realized why. Then he let me and Levi go." It was an adventure being her. You had to have humor.

When she suggested that he could show her around, Jack had to quickly think as to whether he actually voiced his thoughts about it. Who knew that she could read minds as well as lips. "I'd be happy to," he said with a smile. "The city can be a bit overwhelming at first, but there's lots to do. And it'll grow on you." Jack couldn't imagine living anywhere else . . . though it was the job that fueled his love for the city.

"Then again, if you do get transferred to my team, you may not have too much time for sightseeing," he teased, making sure his expression -- since tone wasn't really relevant -- made it clear that he was joking. Finishing his cookie, he let out a small chuckle when she explained that she didn't hear the siren, and that the police officer didn't like that fact. It was so interesting to hear things from her perspective; to hear how things that they -- he -- took for granted or wouldn't even think of, was experienced so differently by her. "That sounds like quite the adventurous road trip. I'm glad to hear he was understanding about the situation." Since she had said she was only given a warrant. Something told him that she had met plenty of people who were . . . less than understanding.

Sue

He agreed and that felt nice! It would be fun to get to know him as she got to known the city with him. See how he saw the city he loved so much. It was exciting to live somewhere so different from Ohio, and Sue couldn't wait to explore it, and not just the tourist spots--the local spots too. The ones that you had to live in the city to know.

"I don't know. If I get transferred to your team I might see parts of the city that I wouldn't get to see other wise." He had made it clear he was joking, so she kept the easy feeling going by matching his expression. She assumed her tone was a joking tone, but she never was quite sure. She was referring to the shady parts of the city that they might need to go to in order to make arrests.

Jack talked about her warning ticket, and Sue nodded in reply, but used the opportunity to try to get to know him better--and apologize. "Everyone does it. Sort of like how I yelled at you without taking time to learn who you were. Which I am sorry for. I'm surprised you even wanted to talk to me after that."

Jack smiled at her words, understanding the jest in them as well that . . . investigations might not take them to the best spots. "Oh for sure," he played along. "I'll get to give you tours of abandoned garages, warehouses, and surveillance trucks. Such is the glamorous life of an FBI agent." Though he knew she wouldn't technically be one . . . she would still have some training.

"Too bad it doesn't take us to more, 5 star locations." It sometimes did, but not often enough. When she then brought up yelling at him, saying that she was surprised he wanted to talk to her after that, Jack smiled with amusement. "I didn't take it personally," he assured her. "Besides, I might have done the same thing as you if I got stuck in fingerprinting." He could understand where she was coming from. Truth was, he saw something in her. Something special.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing all this to try and get her transferred after spending lunch with her. "Let's hope that the next time you have to see personnel, is for your transfer papers. I'll even take you take you there myself so you don't have to worry about going to the wrong office," he said teasingly, making light of the situation so that she didn't have to feel bad about it.
