Chapter 3

While the HBI people were in with Major Jake, an office worker was streaming ‘Jake and Friends’ on his computer enjoying the show Jake did a while ago.

When Olivia left the meeting she looked at the computer screen as she passed by. Jake’s face was front and center on the screen giving her a clear view of him. She stopped walking and just looked at the screen.

“Go back and pause that please.” she said to the man watching the screen while doing his job. He did what she asked and paused the screen while Jake’s face was centered on the screen.

“HOLY SHIT!” she said, then went back to the room and threw the door open. “What did you say your name was? Major Jake, right?”

“Yes.” Jake said, fearing that she found his other self from this world.

“Come with me.” she said, reaching for him. She took him by the arm and dragged him out of the conference room and to the screen where his face was centered. “Explain that!” she said, showing him the screen.

“Yes. Well. Did I mention the part where I’m from a parallel universe?”

“No. You didn’t mention that!” she said, now more than a little angry. “Are you Jake Cook or not?”

“No. I’m not Jake Cook. That is the Jake from this world while I am a different Jake from a different world. We may look the same, have the same DNA, but we are not the same person.”

One of the women working nearby had overheard what Agent Olivia said and looked over the cubicle wall. She saw Jake’s face and recognized it right away. It was Jake Cook and she got really excited. She pulled out her phone and started to snap a couple of pictures then record what was going on. She got about a minute of video then posted it to her social media for her friends and family to see.

I found him. Jake Cook is here in my office!!! The HBI is questioning him right now!!

That office girl took her phone, opened the permission app, and moved to Jake. “Excuse me Jake, I would like to be with you right here in the office.” she said, then displayed her QR code to him.

Jake looked at her, looked at the square on her screen and then looked back at her.

Olivia stepped in, “Ma’am, if you would excuse us. Jake doesn’t have time right now to be with you.” she said, taking Jake by the arm and leading him away from the fan. The woman started to say something, but Ethan moved in front of her flashing his badge at her.

“Jake doesn’t have time right now, but I would be happy to be with you in his stead.” Ethan said, opening his jacket so that she could see his naked body. She looked him over and held her phone back up to him and he pulled his phone out and scanned her. They agreed to straight sex and kissing while touching each other. On the desk was the place they both agreed to since that was the only flat surface available to them and not the floor.
