"Also at the meeting were representatives of American and JapaneseSpecial Forces. These officers told the room of a few ideas they hadcome up with.Gab...ielle was thinking of Hiromi as the American Captain named RamonGarcia told the room of an elaborate "Mission Impossible" scheme hehad to get Ripley to safety. Some architects would need to beconsulted.'How was Hiromi's talk with Chuck going?' she wondered. Gabriellehadn't gotten a phone call yet, and she was starting to think thecouple was. I watched Russ arrive and make his preparations but I didn't let him see me.Shortly after noon, I saw the convoy of two black Chevy Suburban's arrive and I made my two final phone calls. First I called Carl Greenwood's administrative assistant."Amy? This is Jon, over at IT. One of my techs just saw someone messing with Carl's BMW. He thought they were trying to break into it or something. Just a head's up, so you can let him know!"Easy-squeazy.My second call was to Russ to tell him that Carl. His desk had a computer on it, but it didn’t look like he had ever turned it on and his in and out trays were piled with neatly typed pages of script, hastily scribbled notes and more than a few stubs of flight and train tickets. As he skimmed over one of the pages in the notebook, I said, ‘You’re not terribly organised.’ He nodded, ‘I know. I suppose I should try and sort it all out, I just don’t have the time.’ ‘Being a Dr of Palaeontology is hard graft is it?’ He glanced up at me quite. .. I guess I've just been tired of lesbians hitting on me and wanting some guy to be there for me. I've waited so long for some love, and haven't gotten any." "Well I love you Katie, and even though it isn't the same, I know everything will turn out fine. Forget that piece of shit, if he really led you on like that." Katie sniffled, then got it together again. "Thanks, Jack. I love you too." I kissed her head and let her lay on my bed while I finished packing up for school on Monday. I didn't.
