There is a Chase, in the bar, with a book that he is only pretending to read.

It's difficult to pay full attention to a book when one is keeping a wary eye and a half out for certain daughters and certain fathers-in-law-to-be that one has to make certain apologies to or risk certain...something.

If your name just happens to be Angela or Jack, you might want to just happen to stop by the booth.

And if your name isn't, you're certainly perfectly welcome to stop by anyway.

A man whose name happens to be Jack is sitting in a nearby booth.

...hey, when you're in a bar full of people from books, films, television shows, plays, comic books and legends, you might want to be more specific for which "Jack" you ask for, otherwise you might get Jack the Ripper. And nobody really wants a serial killer, do they?

Jack nods in return, a glass of wine in his hand. "Good evening."

"Something bothering you?"

"Ah. I can buy you a drink if you'd like."

Angela comes downstairs from Kim's room and sees her father, then goes over.

"Hi, Daddy." She's smiling and she reaches around him for a hug.

"Interesting book?" She slides into the seat next to him and leans her head on his shoulder.

Angela sighs. "Not much, I've been staying with Mom the past few days. You know we had a fight?"

This is not--well, actually, this probably is the Jack Chase is looking for. This Jack is just rather well-hidden, being at one of the infinite number of dark corners of the bar. He's picking at a plate of pasta and generally looking like he's lost one of his best friends.

Which, in a way, he has.

He also hasn't noticed Chase, as he'd come down to the bar in a daze. No sleep will do that to you.

[ooc: Running off for CSI in a minute but will be back at 10 EST if it's not a repeat and wanted to tag before I fled.]

"I'm fine," Jack says shortly, not looking up. He knows it's a lie, he knows Chase knows it's a lie, but still, he doesn't really want to say what's really going on. He's not exactly looking forward to hearing all the "I-told-you-so"s.

Unless you've got a time machine handy, no, Jack thinks grimly.

What he says, though, is a somewhat listless, "No, not really." He fiddles with the food on his place for a moment before adding, "I might be heading out of the bar sometime soon."

How about certain wives-to-be?

Kim places a cup of coffee in front of him and sits down.

"You looked like you could use it."

She hugs him back, perhaps a moment too long.

"I'm almost able to do real things -- I moved something with air yesterday," she smiles slightly.

His enthusiasm for her lessons makes her almost grin. "A...medium sized thing? I moved a chair. Oh, also a book. But I'm not sure that counts because it wound up on top of a table, not in my hands."
