Drink up baby doll, are you in or are you out? WHO: Jacob & Prudence WHAT: Jacob has an exit strategy WHEN: Thursday night WHERE: Jacob's apartment
"Jack's going on mission this round," Jacob said, pouring a second glass of wine for each of them while Prudence started unpacking the delivery meal from it's bags and boxes, forming a take away buffet on the kitchen countertops. It was the only way he had thought of to bring up the topic of Agency extrication, after trying various, less successful scenarios out in his head all afternoon. An unpresent Jack could do the job better than he could on his own, even if there were things that Jacob would have to bring up later, things that no one could say for him. "He seems to think that the Agency is going to implode before he makes it home."
It wasn't so much that Jacob doubted Jack's prediction as he couldn't imagine what the entire office would look like, if everyone had an exit strategy and used it at the same time. It might actually have been better circumstance than he could ever have hoped for, because the idea of getting away - far away - in an expedient and inconspicuous manner was not something new and exciting to Jacob Kleinberg. He had been planning for years.
