Room 406, Wednesday, late afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

A unexpected phone call had changed Isabel's plans for at least the weekend. After all, there's no sense in going to LA and not spending some time there. She hung up with Angel and then made a call to arrange transportation. That done, she made a few more calls to let people know she'd be out of town.

Phone calls made, Isabel pulled her bag out from under her bed and started to pack.

The door's open.


[ooc: Open to all. Thread with Greg is getting NWS. Just in case anyone in an office wants to read. Yes, I do mean you! ;-)]

"Sam could kick my butt, and she absolutely would have something to say about you leaving," Isabel said, surprised. "It's obvious she's crazy about you." She ruffled Jack's hair and gave him a quick hug. "It won't be a long wait. I promise."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're right," he said and hugged her tightly. "I'm gonna miss you, Izzy."

She held on, somehow feeling that Jack needed the contact. "I'll miss you to. When I come back lets do something. Coffee maybe?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Coffee, or I could take you out for ice cream. Or both. Anything you want." He made himself let go, moving back on the bed and smirking. "Well, not anything. There's some things Greg might object to."

"Oh! Ice cream! I keep forgetting that ice cream place opened up," she said with a grin. "A sundae with Tabasco. Perfect!"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It's a date. You bring the tabasco sauce, I'll bring myself, and a fun time'll be had by all." Jack pulled himself up and off the bed, stretching his arms above his head. "Come back safely, okay?"

It was too tempting a target. Isabel reached out and poked him in the belly button. "Sounds like a plan."

Laughing, Jack grabbed her hand and swooped down to kiss her. "None of that."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Awww. Why not?" Isabel laughed, using her free hand to tickle his sides. Primly she puckered her lips and kissed him back.

He danced sideways, nabbing her other hand, and very gently kissed her, holding her hands in both of his. "Because you'll uncover my terrible secret."

Chuckling, Isabel raised and eyebrow. "That you're ticklish? Hmmmm.... What'll you pay me to keep this information to myself. I'm sure Cedric and Sam would love to know."

"What do you want?" he laughed, quickly moving out of her reach. "You've already got my undying devotion, what else can I give you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"There's not much else," she laughed. "One last hug before I go?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"That's easy." Jack knelt on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. "Come back safe," he repeated. "Or we'll have to take Greg to Mexico."

"Oh no you don't. He's mine!" Laughing, Isabel buried her face in Jack's neck. "Love you," she whispered.

Jack was caught completely by surprise, but his arms tightened involuntarily. "Love you, too," he said quietly, then laughed under his breath and let her go, standing over her with a pleased smile spreading across his face. "Bye, Izzy." He fleetingly touched her cheek, then he was gone, pulling the door shut behind him.
