"Simple rule, yet too hard for you to understand, no wo-" Evy rolled her eyes and cuts Jack off "no woman in the headquarters past 6?" she questioned turning her chair to face him "then what's so hard in following it?" he crossed his arms looking down at her

"and what's so hard in minding your own business" she retorts earning a sharp glare from him. He was about to speak again but was cut off by the telephone ringing "Agent Lenoir" Evy spoke answering it "Lenoir?" Dooley asked from the other line

"Ah, Chief. How can I help you" she asked grinning "what the he'll are you doing in the HQ, it's past midnight there" he asked "how can I help you chief" she asked dodging his question

Dooley let's out a annoyed sigh, making her smile "I need some files from the battle of finow" he stated. The last three words made her breath hitched, luckily, Dooley cleared his throat making her quickly snap back into reality before she gets lost into her cruel memories "on it" she quickly replied

"Lenoir-" her smile came back on her lips as she spoke "I'm still here 'cause I have no life, I can stay here until morning" she answered his question earlier "your going home in the next hour" he stated sharply making Evy roll her eyes "bye chief" she said ending the call

Evy stood from her chair and sent Jack a sarcastic smile before pushing him by his chest "move" she walked past him and made her way towards the door where every files is at

Jack stood on the other side of the interrogation room watching Daniel tell his story to the man that he brought just hours ago. The door opened revealing Evy's making his head turn "the hell are you doing here" he glared at her only for Evy to ignore him and pull a chair to sit on

she placed all the files down on the table and started opening each. Jack shook his head and turned back to watch Daniel "jealous?" a voice spoke from behind "he's doing the job that you always love doing" Evy added flipping through the files "this is literally far from interrogation" he smugly replied

When Jack left the room, Evy closed the file on her hand finally being able to stop pretending as if she's reading them. She'd rather stab herself than read a file that will bring every shitty childhood that she had

Jack entered the interrogation room with a bag and champagne on his hand making both men's head turn. "Attention seeker" evy mumbled watching him place his feet up on the table

Daniel started asking him what the he'll he is doing and how disrespectful he is being but Jack just continued opening his burger and asking the man if he wants some. Daniel shot Jack a annoyed glance when he asked the guy to speak in exchange of the champagne

The guy started singing all the informations that he knew earning both Daniel's and Jack's attention

Minutes passed by, Jack has left the room and Daniel opened the door for the man he interrogated "Agent Lenoir" Daniel greeted with a hint of shock in his tone "wait for me in the bullpen" he ordered the man before he obeyed

"don't be so shocked now" she joked "yeah, yeah I just didn't actually expect you to be still here" Daniel smiled "honestly, telling a random stranger your back story was such a brave thing to do" she comment

"Our story can't be hidden forever, we will have to reveal and tell it sooner than we think" he stated earning a tight smile from her "maybe not" she replied entering the interrogation room and leaving Daniel confused by her reply

"Can't I get a damn break" Evy groaned seeing Jack entering the room "shut up, you have your chance yet you chose to be here" he sat down on the chair across from her

Evy took the burger from his hand and took a bite as Jack placed his feet up in the table again "why do you work here" he asked out of the blue "the same reason as you do" she shrugged eating the burger "I doubt that" he chuckled smugly "as if I care"

"could have just worked in an actual telephone company, I'm sure your skills will be more useful there" he leaned back on his seat "you haven't even see my actual skills Thompson" she said looking at him "I've seen it, answering phones, filing surveillance reports, following orders even though your shit at obeying, nothing impressive" he smirked at her crossing his arms

"Oh honey, you haven't even see me do an actual field work" she smirked back at him "I've seen Carter on the field, I doubt there's differences" That made her chuckle. This man has no idea who he's talking to.

"what are you trying to achieve by all this statements?" she asked finishing her burger "might get to know a secret of yours"

"everyone has their own secrets Jack"
"and I just know that you have a bad one" he grinned at her "oh, your such a charmer, aren't you?" she smiled widely

"I know t-" Evy cuts him off by signalling him to keep quiet after hearing footsteps from outside. "Stop being paranoid" Jack looked at her with squinted eyes

When she heard the footsteps getting closer, Evy slightly pulled her skirt up and placed a hand on the knife on her hustler while she watch the door. Jack only looked at her like she's crazy "you are i-"

The door opened revealing a woman in a purple dress with a bag on her hand and back turned to them both. The woman was busy looking outside to notice the two on the room
