“Not here.” Jack wondered if it was driving Charles crazy not to know his intentions immediately. That he would make him wait until tomorrow night would probably drive the curiousty right up through the roof. That was the point. Bait and hook, reel them in. Jemma had taken a lot of convincing. Gabriel was much easier. Jim and Kaylee hadn’t had a choice. Jack liked the easy catches…not that he wasn’t up for a challenge, of course, but he had been visiting Charles for a long time…and not linearly either.

Being around him as a child and as a bitter cripple? He preferred Charles here and now. And that’s why he finally decided to make his move.

Normally, Jack would slide a slick, glossy blue card with white writing to his potential recruit. Today he used a napkin to write down an address not too far away, but not too close either.

“Tomorrow night. Come with an open mind. And fully dressed. It’s not that kind of meeting.”
