Hodgins answers halfway through the second ring.

He doesn't even need to check the caller ID. This call, he's been expecting.

"Hey, Angie," he says, putting his hand over his other ear to buffer out some of the background noise of the airport terminal.

"Hi, Jack," she says.

"Where are you?"

"I'm out at Dulles," Hodgins replies.

"Did you get my note?"

"Ah, yeah, I did. Your not-terribly-informative note."

Angela pauses.

"What's going on, Jack?"

Hodgins glances up at the wall-mounted monitor as the boarding information for the next batch of flights comes up.

"It's just something that came up--kind of short notice--that I need to get taken care of."

"I'll explain everything once I get back. In great detail. I promise."

"Jack, sweetie, why can't you tell me now?

"I mean, this is a little . . ."

Weird. Erratic. Bizarre. Frightening.

"What's so important it couldn't wait till I got home?"

"It's.....it's kind of a surprise," Hodgins replies.

A good one, he hopes. Depending on how this trip goes.

"Everything's fine. I swear."

"Jack, honey . . . just tell me where you're going."

"I'll be back on Friday. Saturday at the outside."

The flight information Hodgins has been waiting for finally scrolls up onto the screen.

"Angie, I need to go. They're starting to board. I'll see you this weekend, okay?"

bringonthe1der March 9 2009, 02:02:18 UTC

"Jack . . . dammit . . . "

No, not okay.

So very, very not okay.

"Gotta go. I'll call."

"I love you."

Hodgins quickly closes his phone before Angela can ask any more questions, and gathers up his carry-on.

Hopefully he'll be able to bring something back from this trip that will offset the amount of music he is fixing to face on his return.
