"Amtrum's on vacation."

That should answer that.

"Oh goooood," she groaned. That Matt? She just got done dealing with him... She wasn't sure if she wanted to deal with him any more than she had to.

"You're going to trust HIM to watch your back? Of all people, Jack."

"You're more than welcome to keep him busy while I deal with things, if you want."

Then no one has to come. It's win-win for Jack!

"We'll end up killing each other," she said, meshing her teeth together painfully. She was surprised they had managed to NOT do that just a bit ago... Her bruises were still fresh.

"Oh?"

That was news to him.

"Did something happen between you two?"

"A long time ago," she muttered with a sigh.

Of course Jack would find a way to turn this around on her.

"He doesn't trust me with the little kiddies."

He's so relieved at this topic change.

"Should I be worried?"

"Depends."

She cocked a brow, and the humor that usually lit her eyes left, her face falling. Her hands fell to her legs, but what normal people would see as a simple action meant for the sake of comfort, he would see it for exactly what it was.

Her hands fell on the hilts of hidden blades. It was an old habit. And one that died hard. It would, however, show him that she was uncomfortable, and concerned about the answer to her next question.

"Do YOU trust me?"

Jack leans forward, putting his own hands on his desk.

"You haven't given me a reason not to."

"I don't have a reason for you not to," she said simply. "I'll scare the hell out of the kids, and they'll learn to pay more attention. But I'm not here to put any of them out of commission, and I'm certainly not here to kill them."

She spoke simply, fingers still resting on the hilts.

"I'm here to help, Jack. Matt's still angry at me for something I did a long time ago, and he has every right. But I'm still here to help."

"Then that works for me."

Jack shrugs.

"I don't mind having more help around here. The kids need to get prepared sooner rather than later."

She nodded and relaxed her hands, fingers sliding out of their defensive positioning on her knives.

"I'll help them get ready," she promised. "But I do have a request in return."

"Be honest with me."

Her words, as always, were pointed, but she didn't insinuate that he hadn't been. Just that, from then on, she wanted it.

"I can do that."

Jack nods. He hadn't really planned on being anything but.

"Then we've got a deal."

She stood up from the chair and stretched. "I'll get to work on some of the students. Find you an assistant. Eventually find Abby a temp replacement. Then it'll all be good. We can go from there."

She showed him the list of Intel agents she had. They were her first focus. "I'll see you, Jack. Oh, and if you need help with paperwork?"

She paused long enough for him to get his hopes up. Then, she offered him a teasing sort of smile, hoping he'd relax a bit.

"Call someone else."

Jack nods, looking over the list. It was a much better idea to go by department than just looking at the senior agents.

Most of them were...lazy.

He looks up with clear hope in his eyes when she mentions paperwork, but those dreams are quickly torn apart, and he sighs. Loudly.

"Alright, alright. I'm sure someone around here doesn't have carpal tunnel syndrome yet."

She tosses her head back in a laugh. That hope in his eyes... Ah! Beautiful.

"I'll see ya, Jack," she says with a wave, disappearing out the door in silence.

If that stack of paperwork got any taller, he might just have Venus in there to fix it. And THAT would be a feat.

"Later, Vee."

He gives her a wave as well!

(End!)
