I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should have taken a couple of days off and went out of town too. The other night I was patrolling with Oz and of course I had to break into song and nearly burst into flames. That is twice now that I've nearly became a human torch. Xander and everyone are freaking out. Willow, Buffy, Dylan, Des and Gia all went

*sees Maddy going through a filing cabinet when when coming into the office*

You know, the wrong filing cabinet and I could shoot you for treason.

*smiles at her*

[madison_jacobs]

*smirks*

Yeah? I don't think you got it in you to shoot me.

*gestures to his desk*

Besides I brought donuts and that totally makes me going through your files kosher.

[jack_morgann]

Damn, sold my country out for a few bismarks.

*smiles at her and sits down*

How are you doing, Maddy?

[madison_jacobs]

*arches an eyebrow at him*

Did someone call you? I told them not too that I'd tell you myself.

[jack_morgann]

*raises an eyebrow*

No, no one called me. Though they shoulda. What happened?

[madison_jacobs]

This? This is why I'm not an undercover agent.

*flops down in a chair in across from him*

I did another song and dance number and had to be hosed down.

Wow that sounds wrong when I replay it in my head.

[jack_morgann]

*laughs a little and raises an eyebrow*

Interesting way of retelling it.

*pulls a chair up near her*

Talk to me, Harris. These songs what are they about?

[madison_jacobs]

*shrugs*

The usual. Survived the end of the world. A lot of people didn't.

Comes with the territory right?

[jack_morgann]

Yeah. It come with the territory.

*looks at her*

Doesn't make it any easier though. I don't know much, Maddy. But I'm enlightened enough to know ya gotta talk this stuff out. It'll eat you up from the inside if you don't.

*looks down*

It's okay for you to be grateful you're alive, even though they didn't make it.

[madison_jacobs]

I've talked about it. I've sang about it. I don't know what else to do, Jack.

*curls up on the chair, wrapping her arms around her knees*

It's hard to explain.

[jack_morgann]

Not to me it ain't.

*looks at her*

I lost my folks, my first wife, my men, I sent Paige to her grave. I reckon I might just understand someof the things you're feeling, so why don't you try me.

*music ques, doesn't get up to dance, just sings*

I'm taking a ride
off to one side
it is a personal thing
where when I can stand
up in this cage
i'm not regretting

*looks down at the floor, rocking back and forth in the chair*

I don't need
a better thing
I've settled for less
it's another thing for me
I just have to wander
through this world alone

*looks up, meets Jack's gaze, sings louder, tears welling in her eyes, still not dancing or smoking*

Stop! before you fall...
into the hole
that I have dug here

Rest even as you
are starting to feel
the way I used too

*swallows hard, shoulders and hands shaking as she finally sings what is on her mind*

Cause I'm gonna lose ya
Yes, I'm gonna lose ya
If i'm gonna lose ya

Cause I'm gonna lose ya
yes, i'm gonna lose ya
If i'm gonna lose ya
I'll lose you now
for good...

Maddy, I can't make you promises that aren't in my power to keep. But I can promise you that'll I'll do everything in my power to keep us all here for a long time to come.

*sighs and takes her hand*

You can't push us all away and let all this build up, thinking somehow its going to make things easier. We're here now and we make the best life we can make for ourself now. Live life with our families and friends now. Thats what all this is about, thats why we are here.
