Second First Date
Part 1
The next morning Sam whistled his way downstairs and into the kitchen to brew up some coffee for him and Morgana. This is going to be a great day! He told himself positively. I can feel it! Earlier upstairs he informed Morgana that they would be having their official "second first date" this afternoon as soon as he finished work. Morgana genuinely looked excited for the occasion. Since it was another one of her days off she suggested meeting Sam at the Park (where the Summer Festival was currently being held) to save them more time for their date. Sam would've preferred to pick her up in the normal, gentlemanly fashion, but her idea did make sense since the office building where he worked was just across the street from the park. "Then it's a date!" he concluded happily. "Meet you there at three?"
"I wouldn't miss it," Morgana replied.
Just as the coffee finished brewing, Morgana met Sam in the kitchen. "I could smell that all the way from upstairs," she said, "it smells lovely, but don't you think you put too many coffee grounds in there?" She winked.
"Nah," Sam replied, filling up his cup. "Bold flavor is what makes coffee good. Would you like a cup?"
"Oh yes, please!"

Suddenly the two looked up toward the ceiling as they heard some very unusual sounds coming from upstairs.
"I would imagine that's the Butler cleaning again," Sam said, returning to filling up Morgana's cup.
"Are you sure?" Morgana asked nervously, still staring at the ceiling. "What kind of a Butler cleans like that!?"

"He does," Sam answered, handing Morgana her cup. "He's very thorough." The two exchanged smiles. Then Morgana looked back up at the ceiling while taking a sip.
"I mean seriously Thornton," she couldn't help saying, "it sounds like he's getting it on with someone and rattling the bed up there!"
Sam nearly spit out his coffee.
"Oh my," a man's voice said, along with the sound of a door closing. Sam immediately recognized it as Al. He shot Al a glance, wiped off some coffee that slipped through his lips and motioned for Al to be quiet.
"What?" Al objected, "she can't hear me."
Sam then pointed a finger at Al and used the same finger to motion him off to the side, implying that he'd talk to him in a minute. Al understood, he'd gotten pretty familiar with Sam's body language over the years.
Morgana noticed the last bit of hand motioning. She snorted, holding back a chuckle. "What are you doing Thornton?"
Sam froze for a moment while Al folded his arms in the distance, awaiting his response to Morgana with pleasure like he always did in these situations.
"Nothing," Sam responded, turning to her, "I was...practicing...a presentation I am doing at work."
"Ooo, nice one Sam!" Al expressed with a nod and a thumbs up.
Placing down her cup, Morgana stepped closer to Sam and adjusted his tie. "Well, good luck with that," she said. When she finished, she took his hands and swayed them back and forth. "I really am looking forward to our date this afternoon. I love this plan you've come up with."
https://s20.postimg.cc/43d5b25zh/SBSV_2nd_9.jpg
"I'm looking forward to it too," Sam said with sincerity. Then he changed the subject because he really hoped he could get Morgana out of the way so he could talk with Al. "Didn't you mention hanging out with your girlfriends again this morning?"
"Yes!" Morgana replied happily. "We were going to check out the new art museum!"
"Yuck!" Sam expressed as a joke, because he knew that's what Thornton would've said.
"Yeah yeah I know," Morgana said, lightly punching his shoulder.
A car horn sounded outside.
"That's them!" Morgana exclaimed, heading for the door.
Great timing, Sam thought.
"Have a good day at work," she wished, "and I'll see you later at the park. I can't wait!" And with that, Morgana left the house.
Sam watched her through the window, making sure she wouldn't be coming back to the house for any reason while Al came to his side.
"Huh," Al observed, "that's the nicest I've seen her act towards you. You really are making progress Sam!"
Once the car drove away, Sam turned for the kitchen. "Yes," he agreed, "it's been a relief." He placed his cup down on the counter.
Al stretched his arms out in front of him, popping his fingers at the same time. "You know," he said, "You were always the one who'd brew up the strongest coffee back at the Project, especially when your stress level was high."
https://s20.postimg.cc/htc9xlih9/SBSV_Al_6.jpg
Sam stood still for a second. "Huh. I don't remember that." Then he turned and stepped closer to Al while saying, "Al, please tell me you have some more information from Thornton."
"Oh yes!" Al exclaimed proudly, "the guy finally decided to cooperate, but above anything else," he paused, changing his tone to a more serious one, "I have something very important to tell you that he mentioned."
"What's that?" Sam asked, his anxiety resurfacing.
Al glanced toward the far corner of the room. "Just when we thought the situation couldn't be any more complicated," he said with a sigh.
"What!?" Sam demanded.
https://s20.postimg.cc/i1t1ctuj1/SBSV_Al_informs_4.jpg
Returning Sam's gaze Al answered, "It turns out Thornton was having an affair."
Whew! Sam thought, is that all? He folded his arms and pretended to look surprised. "Really?"
"Yes," Al confirmed, "her name is Jamie Jolina. She's got blonde hair and glasses. She sounded pretty hot from his description." He paused, seeing Sam's face expression and cleared his throat, continuing. "She works alongside Morgana at the Hospital and she and Thornton just starting having sexual relations a couple of weeks ago."
Sam nodded. Yeah...and?
"So...if I were you Sam I'd steer clear of her. Or," he shrugged, "she might just approach you. If she does, then you gotta figure out a way to get rid of her before she messes anything up before or after you leap out of here!"
At that moment, Sam pretended to laugh, pointing a finger at Al. "Ha ha thank you for that valuable information Al," he chortled.
https://s20.postimg.cc/douhuelsd/SBSV_Al_informs_1.jpg
Sam's reaction took Al by surprise. "What's so funny about that?" he asked obliviously.
"That's the kind of information that I really could've used YESTERDAY!" he practically shouted, glaring.
Al's eyes widened. He understood. "Oh boy...did you run into her already?"
"Yeah I did!"
"Well what did you do?"
Sam pinched his forehead, "What I had to do! I got her out of the picture," he paused, "at least, I hope I did."
"In ONE day!?" Al exclaimed. "How did you manage that?"
"Well," Sam started, placing his hands in the coat pockets, "it was difficult at first but--"
"Is she one of those naughty nurses that tried to seduce you Sam?" Al asked, eyebrows bouncing along with a bright grin.
Sam returned a smile mockingly. "Sort of," he admitted, "but I told her the honest truth. That I (Thornton) wanted to try and work things out with Morgana and had a good feeling that things would be better between us this time around."
Pursing his lips, Al looked thoughtful. "You really think that's going to keep her away for good Sam?"
https://s20.postimg.cc/45kt0xya5/SBSV_Al_informs_2.jpg
"I dunno Al!" Sam blurted, "I mean what else am I supposed to do? My mission here is to save Thornton and Morgana's marriage which in turn will save Morgana from taking her own life. Then I'll leap. That's what Ziggy said. Whatever Jamie does now is out of my control. I can't waste time worrying about it."
Al nodded, folding his arms.
"I took care of it the best way I could Al," Sam expressed, feeling sorrowful. "I can't fix everything." Then he lowered his head. "Or everyone."
Al smiled, ever admiring Sam's character. "I don't doubt that you did kid," he said, wishing he could pat his friend's shoulder. "You're terminally good Sam. If it was up to you, you'd save everybody."
Sam's head shot up as he grinned. "You've told me that before."
"I wasn't sure you remembered," Al said with a wink.
https://s20.postimg.cc/4wdj6q0nh/SBSV_Al_informs_3.jpg
For a moment the two smiled at each other, trying not to get too emotional while the memories of their past heart to heart talks came flooding back.
Clearing his throat again, Al pulled out the Handlink and said, "Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that ever since you found a way to get 'Miss Impudent' to treat you decently again," he pressed a couple of buttons, "Ziggy says the chance of her and Thornton staying together has now jumped to 92 percent."
Sam's face beamed for a moment. "Wonderful," he expressed, "now let's get that up to 100 percent."
Al nodded resolutely. "And that's when you'll leap."
