Yet, instead of going outside or to her little apartment home (how cute), she walked down the hall to Jack's office. Obviously, something was up. It took her decent effort to knock on his door, but at least she offered him the courtesy. And she even waited for an answer.

More specifically, he looks more tired than ever. "I thought you were assigned to DC?" He asks with a small smile.

I honestly came to see how you all were, but it looks like you could use my help." She walks over to him and her eyes flash with worry. He didn't know she was coming? That was bad. "Figured I could help whip the new generation into shape. And, looking at the lot of you," she motioned towards him, across the desk from her, and then again towards Abby's door, "you could use some help. I could use some entertainment. Seeks like a good trade off, doesn't it?"

"Because when I transferred, I sent my paperwork in to Director Gavyns. Because you are sitting across the desk from me looking like the sandman himself is about to take you away, but you're still working. Oh, and because you've got another little one on the way. There's that, too." She moved her hand away from the name plate, resting her elbows on the desk and her chin on her hands. "What's going on, Jack?"

And Abby and I are more than happy to add to our family." He gets the easy questions out of the way first. "I changed my name because I'm not a Gavyns by birth, and I need distance from Dain. He's not the man I thought he was." He doesn't want to get into the specific details.

"You're wearing yourself thin. More than thin." She started frowning. Whatever it was that Dain had done, he should know she'd be able to find out. Intelligence expert and all that. "If something happened with Dain and you've got a baby on the way and god knows what else going on with you, you should find somebody to help and at least pay attention to the paperwork. You can get an assistant or something."

She gave a shrug, not switching position. "I can look through some people. Find you a good assistant.
