"Finally. I hope you have fun then, Mat."

Jack nods!

He scoffs.

"Not on the agenda."

He'd turn to the door.

Piper was standing just on the other side, leaning against the wall.

She looked up at him with a tired sort of smile. So he was going on vacation...

"Does this mean I have to stay here, still?" she asked, sounding even more exhausted than she looked... and she looked pretty damn tired.

He frowned.

"It appears this one crawled here on her own accord."

"I'm not half dead," she said softly, and gave a shake of her head.

"I just came by to see what it would take to get a pass to go back home for a bit. To Australia. The holidays are coming up and I..."

She what? Wanted to reconnect with her mother? Wanted to see if her vision had been altered because of people in her life? Wanted closure?

"...see things a bit differently now."

Jack just nods.

"Of course. Family's important."

"He's the boss."

Mathew would take this chance to walk past Piper before either of them could try and rope him into the conversation further.

She almost reached out to touch his arm as he passed, but ended up letting him go.

Looking back at the Director, she offered him the same sort of smile she had Mat, and a single nod. "I figured I'd be back before the new year. I don't have any interest in staying. I just have a few loose ends."

He had already agreed, and she didn't really know why she was still explaining herself. Maybe it was the exhaustion.

"That'll be fine."

Jack nods.

"I know that feeling, sometimes you've got to clean stuff up before you can focus on moving on."

He understood. Good. Her smile became a little bit more genuine at that.

Nodding, she said, "I'd like to leave as soon as possible. There's a flight out tomorrow." She had already checked. "I've got my passports and what have you together. Just need to pack."

"I hope you find what you're looking for, then."

Jack says honestly.

"We'll be here for you when you come back."

"Thank you," she said softly, and for once...

She meant it.

Giving him a half-assed bow, nothing like what she usually offered, she turned to leave his office. She had a few people to see before she could do what she needed to.

"Director Makaila?? Are you kidding me with this?"

John bursts into Jack's office, an angry frown on his face.

"I don't see how it's any of your problem, John."

Jack looks up from his desk, almost mirroring John's expression!

"Shut the hell up, Jack!" He slams his hands down onto the desk, careful to not break anything!

"Being upset at me is one thing. Something I find ridiculous, by the way. But the only reason you're even in that chair is because of Dain."

Desks are pretty expensive...

"And how do you figure that?"

Jack asks through grit teeth, trying and failing to contain his anger.

"The man that saved your life? That helped you be an agent? That for all his years of being alive was here for not just you, but everyone on the academy? No one respected him more than you did."

"By those reasons alone, I could list any number of people who did the same thing for me, you included. And I definitely don't want your last name."

Jack stands up, more so that he can look John in the eye rather than being overly aggressive. Yet.

"John, you seem to be having a lot of trouble understanding why this is so hard for me, so let me spell it out for you: he cheated on my mother. This was not just a simple breakup or innocent mistake. He was engaged, and cheated on her with a woman who was in a relationship with your brother at the time. How the fuck are you not upset? I'm really getting the impression you don't give a shit about me or your own family, John, and that's why I have this 'ridiculous' problem with you."

"It was over fifteen god damn years ago, Jack! He slept with someone else once under circumstances neither you nor I know anything about. He's been dead for FIFTEEN years. He's your father!"

His voice raises as he speaks.

"You're acting like a little bitch about all of this this. You're upset that I'm not tearing down walls at the news? Aaliyah hurt my brother and I dealt with it at the time, but I didn't remove all trace of her from my life because that's insane!"

"He's MY father! They're MY parents! Don't you fucking talk to me about how I should be reacting to issues with my family. You're barely, peripherally involved, you have no fucking right to tell me how to deal with personal things."

Jack points at John aggressively!

"But yes, it happened fifteen years ago. An event fifteen years ago that I learned about just now. Of course I'm sore about it. From what Aaliyah told me, she's loved him for a long time, and she doesn't regret it in the slightest. She doesn't regret breaking up an engagement at all. An engagement, that as I remember, she was so excited and happy to see happen in the first place."

He snorts, though he does wonder whether she'd told John the same thing.

"It's like... the man I respected most wasn't nearly the man I thought he was. He was my idol, but it was because he would never do something like this."

"Then act like he's your father, Jack! You owe him so much more than the way you're acting."

He glares Jack down!

"And, that's just it. You're thinking that he's not the man you knew, but for all accounts besides once hiccup he is. He was a respectable man! And how AALIYAH feels doesn't have anything to do with it. You can be mad at Aaliyah, but Dain deserves more from you."

"One hiccup."

Jack shakes his head.

"You're downplaying this so much.... like this is just a run of the mill, every day problem. You can't understand how this feels."

"Downplaying? You're overplaying it! I've never seen you have such a vendetta against someone. Hell, we hired a guy to train our agents who has killed people and released countless criminals from the vault. We've seen worse, Jack! I know him cheating hurt you, and that you're resentful because of it, but you're going too far with this."

"I just followed your example, John. You're the one who started bringing criminals into the academy, including one who killed Colorado."

Jack goes to sit back down, resisting the urge to fold his arms like a pouting child.

"I really don't see what your problem is. This has nothing to do with you."
