Jack grimaced at the mention of Gaius. The last thing I need is to work with him, especially after what had happened. But, then again, when he really thought about it, he realized that Abe was right: they did need Gaius. As much as Jack hated to admit it, the boy was pretty smart. And he probably could prove useful outside of here too, Jack thought reluctantly.

Right, from what I know, Mary tell me if this is right but we are going to go up to the hospital and have Mary distract the nurse and doctor by any means necessary. While she is doing that we will sneak Gaius out of the hospital. Is that right honey?

Abe's voice had suddenly took on one of those low romantic tones. Jack almost groaned. He hated it when people went all lovey-dovey on each other and left him there on the side like a cold piece of meat.

Yeah, I think you got it sweetie.

Now Mary was acting all lovey-dovey.

Jack ran a hand through his hair uncomfortably. He didn't want to be there at the moment. No, the atmosphere was getting far too romantic for his taste.

You know what? Why don't you two start to prepare everything for the fight--load up on food and stuff--and I'll go get Gaius myself?

He hoped Abe would agree, hoped that his friend would see how uncomfortable he was at the moment.
