"Shall I get the noose ready?" He laughed then spoke up again. "I WILL have a job, and not just any job, a career." He said, sounding all high and mighty. "I'm going to be part of the STARS team!" Brains and skill, too bad Jack dabbled mostly in brawns but he can have his intelligent moments, once every couple months, he even practices years before the exam. Jack then felt the thoughts of a useless call, sure he's excited to hear from her but his call had no thought of a conversation. "So, err... How was your trip?"

" It was long and boring. But then again it wasn't so much a pleasure trip more of a way for me to put countless hours into work in another country" she replied in a lightly angered tone. " I take it you actually did something productive while I was away other then day dream in going into the STARS program?" she questioned her long time friend.
' But he might be able to do it. Maybe not be in charge but he'd be good enough for it thats for sure... buit aren't alot of their recruits from like the military and private sector?" she wondered after rationalizing Jack's dream. " Your smart hun but you also need to factor in the casualties of your actions. Remember thats your weak point. Like in high school fighting half the football team because of your girlfriend because you thought they were flirting with her and it turned out it was the other way around" she laughed softly.

"They asked for it anyways..." He replied and shifted his eyes. "Besides that's only in fist fights, the clerk at the gunshop believes I'm and excellent shot. I hit none of the civilian targets." He replied, acting all high and mighty again. "Umbrella has really started to take over the city, have you noticed the many signs? Damn pharmicutical company." He said and smirked. It was true, they even had troops as if they were the military.

" Don't bad mouth the company I work for. They've helped the economy of Raccoon City since I think the late sixties. Their the reason why many of the citizens are even employed" she teased him. Of course they both knew this fact. " Still Jack your sometimes too head strong for your own good". Shaking her head a bit. " Thanks to you I'm wide awake. So much for sleeping when I got home..." whined the younger of the two.
" It's what 7:30? How about we have coffee or something. I think you owe me that much buddy" the girl's tone slightly threatening. But knowing him he'd think nothing of it and say sure. Good thing he had looks or else Sola would wonder why he ever had a date.

"Yeah, yeah, but other people have different thoughts about it.." Jack replied to the subject of Umbrella. He then nodded to himself at her comment. "All right, where do you want to go?" He asked curiously, though probably knowing her answer.

" How about that restaurant we used to go to a few years ago. Their food is die for. I've been there a couple times in the past few months when my parents decide to visit" she answered. " Come pick me up outside my place in forty minutes. Give me enough time to get ready alright?" she now asked him.

"Yep. See you soon." He said then hung up. He walked to his fridge and opened it and saw a couple cans of alcohol, all with the Umbrella logo. He wanted one but refrained himself. He didn't want to get tough on Sola. He wasn't one of those drunks where people would go "haha" he gets belligerent. So instead he had a soda while getting ready.

Already in the shower. 'Rinse, lather repeat' yes this was her holy mantra right now. Leaving in the conditioner for a few more minutes then usual. " I deserve a few luxuries once in a while" she murmured. Now at her vanity, she blow dried her hair and was of course brushing it to no end. Once her hair was tamed she thought to pick an outfit. ' Yay' she mentally groaned. After deciding on a knee length black skirt, a white tank top and a jean jacket she got dressed.
" Great now the final touches" she whispered to herself. Looking at the time she barely had five minutes before he came to get her. Only lightly putting on a bit of eye liner and light blue eye shadow then came the blush. Of course it barely looked like she had any make up on, go figure huh? After the finishing she hurried downstairs desperately trying to put on her high heels as she went down the staircase. Once on the first floor she began to walk normally. Then slowly going down the staircase with purse in hand. Walking out the doors there was Jack sitting on the hood of his car. " Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long" she said casually.

"I get used to it after a while.." He said with a smirk as he tilted his shades then entered the car through the driver's side. The car was a normal Caprice (sp?) with a dark blue color. It was shiney since Jack frequently washed it. He was wearing a black leather jacket which was unzipped and underneath was a dark blue shirt. 'She's getting older' he thought, his head full of whoa how she looks so much more mature.

After seating in the caprice she smacked Jack lightly on the arm. " The nerve of what you say sometimes" she said of course she was joking. Playful banter that was it, nothing ever more. ' He is physically attractive but he's stubborn and crude, not to mention so smug half the time. Great I'm thinking of a long time friend as a potential boyfriend.... I need more female friends... or turn him gay. Either way' she thought. " So are we going yet Jack?" she asked him after buckling herself in.

Jack smirked evilly. "It's all a matter of how fast you wanna get there.." He said and began going quite slow. He remembered the time he sped down the street, and like always there were no cops around to catch him, the cops weren't very efficient, of course, until Umbrella took over Not long after that STARS was created.

" For once just drive the damn speeding limit. I'm tired of getting you out of tickets" she sighed dramatically. Then raising her right hand over her forehead while speaking to him. " What are we going to do afterwards?" she asked him. Letting her arm drop into her lap. Rolling down the window to enjoy the night time breeze when they will eventually begin to go.

Jack fake sighed as he began to drive the limit then looked at her to reply. "That's up to you." He replied then went silent which was kind of new. It was hard to see with shades on and the dark, but it seems as if Jack does just fine, it's all about looks to him.

" We'll.... I'd like to see you embarrass yourself infront of people. So why not that Karaoke place at centreal?" she smiled. " Or do would you like to do something else?" she questioned him. " I think the only song I ever heard that was okay with your vocal talents was... darn i forgot the song. And it's a famous classic as well..." she drifted off there looking out the car window.
" How long have we've been friends?" she asked him. It's been a long time since they spoke about when they've first met.

Jack then laughed. "I only went up there cus I was half drunk." He said then thought about her question. "I dunno... Lost count." He said as he stopped at a light. "Why did you pick Umbrella?" He asked. He wasn't a fan of Umbrella, Sola knew this well. He didn't know why, but he just wasn't comfortable with a corperation running a whole city.
