jude, beckett, cooper
Now that things were starting to calm down, Jude was looking forward to a real nights sleep, but mostly he was looking forward to continuing on with whatever he and Beckett had started what seemed like forever ago.

They'd agreed to have dinner, but both were so tired that staying in seemed like the best way to go, so Beckett had invited Jude over. Beckett had left a little while earlier, and after talking with Ally and Clark for a bit, Jude was ready to sneak out the door. He was hoping to avoid Agent Comfort, and so far he'd done a pretty damn good job of staying off of the Agent's radar. Or, rather, giving Cooper the slip at every oppurtunity.

He slipped into his office to secure his computer system and he was busy tugging on his peacoat and messenger bag at the same time while he tried to make a go for the elevator. He was in such a rush that he didn't even see Cooper until they'd run into eachother, and Jude reached out to steady the other man as soon as he'd recaptured his balance.

"Sorry, excuse me," he managed before he tried to slip past Comfort so that he could be on his way.
