June 28th, 2011

Parking only put her a block away from the restaurant and she idly fanned herself with the flyer someone had just handed to her. Maybe she was getting used to the weather or maybe it's that the summers in NYC were hotter but the heat didn't seem so bad.

Out of the corner of her eye, she catches sight of a man just a little taller than her, average build and dark blond hair and she feels her heart stop. Thrown off course, she cranes her neck and follows him a few steps. Chris is almost about to call out to him when he turns.

It's not him.

And she can't help but feel disappointed even though she's been through the similar several times in the past few days. Ever since that unexpected meeting, she can't help but hope she'll run into Jack again. Or that the door to Milliways would appear.

Sighing, she crosses the street and heads towards the restaurant.

Michelle takes another sip of water. "I know what you mean."

She puts down the glass carefully, maybe taking a moment or two longer than necessary. "Do you think you could work at CTU-LA?"

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-20 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
She gives her a confused look. "I worked at CTU in New York."

"I don't mean in terms of the job," she looks down at the menu, just to buy some time.

"We both know what happened there over a year ago," she says finally, her voice a little softer.

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-20 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
"I thought about that," Chris answers quietly. In some ways, that might make her want to go to CTU, not that she could unwrite the past or prevent something like that in the future.

The waiter stops by their table before Chris can say anything more. "Ready to order?"

Michelle nods, "I'll have the goat cheese salad, dressing on the side, and a diet coke."

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-20 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll have the Sicilian Village Salad with chicken. No dressing and an ice tea." The waiter nods and takes both their menus.

When he's out of earshot, Chris brushes some hair back from her face before continuing. "Yeah, I thought about that before I even considered going back." Among other things. "I think I could handle it."

Michelle kind of wishes she ordered that glass of wine, now.

They're careful about this subject, barely even mentioned it around Tony and their house wasn't bugged, that's just paranoia, but, still, careful.

She doesn't think that anyone who might be watching them has any idea about Chris's connection, but she still tries not to say anything too revealing.

"A lot of people have died in that building."

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-20 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know that," she sighs. So many people had been surprised by her going back that sometimes Chris thought that might all have a point.

"A lot of people have said similar things and I understand what you're trying to say but I've given this a lot of thought. It makes sense."

In a quieter voice she adds, "When I spoke to Jack, he was a little surprised but he didn't think it was a bad idea." Though Chris had a feeling he was glad it was District and not CTU-LA.

"But I'm at District and will be there for a while," she continues, her voice louder, "If I wanted a change to one of the CTU branches, the New York one would be my first pick."

No, you only think you do.

But Michelle's unable to hide her surprise, her face going a little pale. "You've talked to him? He's contacted you?" She tries to keep her voice soft, but her fingers tense around the water glass.

Only the fact that she's trying to get pregnant keeps her from calling the waiter back over and ordering a glass of something alcoholic.

Chris was getting increasingly uncomfortable with this conversation.

She looks around, making sure a waiter isn't about to pounce before saying, "The bar dropped him off in LA and I ran into him."
chelleuncurled: (thinking)

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, that's not as bad, less chance of someone finding him.

The last time Michelle saw him, he was...not doing well.

"How is he?" She asks softly.

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
"He seemed to be doing all right," she says, her mouth curving into a smile. "It sounds like everyone at the bar is doing well too."

The waiter comes by, placing their orders in front of them. "Thanks," Chris says, glancing up at him.

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
She breathes a sigh of relief, "Thank God. When I saw him...it was bad."

She forks on some dressing and takes a bite of salad, relieved that everything's okay.

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Chris furrows her brows. "What do you mean? What was wrong?"
chelleuncurled: (thinking)

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
If he didn't tell her, he must have his reasons. But he's not always the most forthcoming person.

"Ishamael had Kim and Nita...they're obviously back and okay, now."

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Chris stares for a few moments, her mind almost refusing to comprehend that.

"He didn't...Are they, um. How are they?"
chelleuncurled: (looking down)

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
She puts down her fork. "Honestly? I don't know, you saw him after I did, so I just assumed that if he was okay, they're okay." She says not unkindly.

I hope. He might have not mentioned it for another reason entirely.

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Her own salad is untouched as she thinks about their meeting, looking for any clues. "Well, he didn't seem too upset when I saw him."

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Then everyone has to be okay," she takes a sip of her diet coke. "Or maybe he was just happy to see you."

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I think you're right," she says with a nod. "About everyone being ok. I asked how people were doing and he said they were ok. He didn't mention anything more and I think he meant it."
chelleuncurled: (thinking)

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Did he talk about Toronto?"

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
"No?" Chris is now torn between being concerned for Jack and annoyed with him.
chelleuncurled: (unsure//karen)

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
She pauses for a moment, thinking of the best way to put what happened into words. "I ran into him in the bar in mid-May and he was recovering from something that happened in Canada."

She's being vague on purpose, but she's also not very surprised that Jack wouldn't share this information.

[identity profile] geeky-agent.livejournal.com 2006-04-22 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
Calmly, she asks, "What happened?" I can't believe Jack didn't mention anything! Why wouldn't he tell me?

"Wait," she adds, "this doesn't have anything to do with the attack that happened in Toronto, does it?"

[personal profile] chelleuncurled 2006-04-22 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
"He thought that going after some people on his own was a good idea. It wasn't."

She takes a sip of her soda.

"It does. They had him for a few days."
