| Guilty Yet Innocent Chapter Six |
|||||||||||||
| Toby and CJ walk out of her lawyer's office hand-in-hand. There's almost a bounce to her step, and they've both got goofy smiles on their faces despite the confesstion CJ will have to make tomorrow. In the comfort of CJ's car, Toby kisses her hand. "I love you, Mrs. Zeigler." She smiles. "I love you, too, Mr. Zeigler, although I think it's only fair to point out that if you call me that at the White House I'll have to hit you. My professional name is still CJ Cregg." He smiles and pulls her close. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Their kiss is interrupted by both of their beepers going off. They had called in and made sure that everyone knew they couldn't possibly come in today unless the fate of the world depended on it, so they know not to ignore the 911 page. CJ looks at her husband seriously. "Well, so much for the honeymoon." | |||||||||||||

| CJ rolls over in bed to answer the phone beside her. As usual, she can tell it's him before he speaks. "What's wrong, Toby?" He hold the phone away from him, hoping against all hope that she can't hear the sobs that shake his body. She can, and calls him on it when he puts the phone back up to his ear. "Toby, talk to me. Why are you crying?" The tears flow freely down his face as he replies. "She left me, CJ." She sits up suddenly, waking the man sleeping next to her. "I'm on the next plan, okay? I'll call you from the airport. I'm on my way!" She hangs the phone up and jumps out of bed and grabs her clothes. "Babe, where are you going?" The man in CJ's bed looks up at her angrily. She sighs. "I have to go to Washington." She doesn't wait for his reply; she's on the phone again. "Isobel, it's CJ. By the time you get this, I'll be in the air. I'm on my way to Washington and I'll be there for at least a few days. I'll call you when I get there." Her night-time companion walks into the bathroom while CJ's brushing her teeth. "I'll be here when you get back." She glares at him. "I won't think that's a good idea, no. Last night was lovely, but Toby needs me now, so thanks and bye." |
