"I have my motivations." Jerry said with a suggestive smile.
Bobbie sighed exasperrated. "No. I mean: What makes Jerry Jacks tick?
Who are
you Jerry? Who is Jerry Jacks, I mean *really.*"
~~
"I'm sorry," Alexis continued. "I didn't mean to make you think that
you'd
done something wrong." Her voice rings with sincerity, which matches
that in
her eyes.
"If I didn't do anything wrong, why are you so nervous around me?" Ned
asked
softly. "If it's not something I did, then what is it?"
"It's just... I... I guess I feel trapped. Like I'm backed up into a
corner."
She looked away, up at the moon.
~~
Carly looked out her small window at the full moon. She couldn't even
believe
that she had a window. "Fancy digs for a nut house, I guess." She muttered
to
herself. She glanced back down at the letter she was writing to Jason.
"I want out." She sighed. "Jason, why aren't you getting me out?"
~~
Eve Lambert sighed as she sunk down into a chair near the Nurses' Station.
"How's it going?" A familiar voice asked.
"It's going," she told Chris with a shrug and a sigh.
"That good, huh?" He sighed. "When's your shift over?"
"Ten minutes ago." She told him.
"Really? Mine ended twenty ago, but I was in the OR." He paused, looked
away
slightly durressed. "The patient died on the table. We shoudl've been
able to
save her."
"I know that feeling." Eve agreed softly.
"Yeah." Chris nodded. "Anyway, how about grabbing a bite to eat with
me? I
hate to eat alone."
"And no one else can bear to be in your presence." Eve quipped.
"Hey, they're just jealous of my terribly good looks and wonderful charm."
He
said with a smile and Eve rolled her eyes slightly. "Besides, you're
the only
one who can do sufficient battle with me in a game of wits around here."
"My, my, my... Chris, that sounded like a *compliment* as veiled as
it may
have been." She smiled.
"It was." He smiled back. "So, dinner?"
She nodded. "Dinner."
~~
Karen smiled as she lifted her hand up to gaze at the ring on her hand.
She
was engaged... to *the* most wonderful man on the planet, no less.
She
couldn't remember being happier.
~~
V looked up from her paperwork as Garcia approached. "Well," he told
her. "It
appears I won't be helping you on this case afterall."
"No?" She asked. "Who, then?"
"A transfer. Mac wanted him for his special task force--the one you're
on."
Garcia told her, handing her a file.
She looked at the black and white picture of the good-looking man inside
and
at the records in the file. "Is he here yet?" V asked.
"Right here." The man said with a smile. "Officer Jagger Cates at your
service."
V half-smiled. "I'm V Ardnowski. Now, let's get down to business..."
~~
Jax sighed as he watched Brenda, who had finally calmed down, sitting
on the
couch.
"Who was on the phone?" Brenda asked.
Jax hesitated. "Bobbie called from the hospital. She thought we might
need to
know that..."
"Did she have news?" Brenda asked hopefully. Then she read Jax's face.
"No..."
She shook her head. "Robin isn't..." Brenda took a breath. "Tell me."
"Brenda..." Jax looked away. "Robin didn't make it."
~~
Monica sighed as she turned the tape over in her hands. What am I going
to do,
she wondered to herself.
~~
A woman, whose face isn't shown, lies in a darkened room. Helena enters
with a
distinguished looking man.
"You're late." Helena states to him. "You've kept us waiting."
"Us?" The man enters the room. "Oh, I see... *us.*"
"Yes. Us." Helena said with a cold glare. "It is *past* time to begin."
~~
"Who is Jerry Jacks?" Jerry repeated. "Well," he started, grin never
faltering. "He is a man of wealth, charm--hopefully--and a connesuier
of
beauty. He likes a good time; he's just along for the ride, the destination
doesn't matter."
"So, you have no goals, no plans...nothing?" She said with raised eyebrows.
"How do you live like that?" She paused. "Or more importantly... why?
What
makes you wear that sly smile all the time."
"Some people are just content." He offered.
"Maybe. Though, I doubt it." Bobbie allowed. "But not you. You're restless.
What are you looking for, Jerry?"
~~
Two people sat where a picnic was set up by the lake under the moonlight.
They
looked at each other, so sure what they wanted yet so unsure about
everything.
"Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance..."
"No one's making you be here, Alexis." Ned said simply. "I don't want
you to
leave, but if you feel cornered..."
"That's not what I mean." She said softly. She sighed. "God, I hate
the way
all of this sounds. It rolls around inside my head, and..." She trailed
off.
"Don't ask me if this feeling's right or wrong
It doesn't have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
'Cause when you're in my arms I understand
We don't have a voice
When our hearts make the choices
There's no plan
It's not in our hands..."
"And?" He asked. "What? What is it? Alexis?"
"Everything's just too complicated. But something might simplify it."
She
added.
"What?" He asked softly. "Whatever it is you need I'll give it to you?
Just
tell me."
"I do need something from you, Ned." She said simply reflectively.
"Anything." He offered.
"Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Don't you know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance..."
"No." She corrected. "Just one thing: the truth."
"About what?" He asked, slight confusion.
"Now I can feel what you're afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give too much away
But we can't let this moment pass us by
Can't question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try
But love doesn't ask you why..."
She hesitated and then softly, almost scared: "Did you mean it when
you told
me you loved me?"
"So let's take what we found
And wrap it around us..."
"Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
And never explains
Now I know that
Love doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance..."
"Love doesn't ask why..."
