It has been Six week since Jackson Fuller returned to the lives ofhis family after a twelve year absence. Jackson was currently in theoffice of Doctor Connie Jane Harbenberger, or CJ as she prefers, fora follow up to see how he was healing. After going over Jackson'slatest X-Rays and MRI she gives Jackson a clean bill of health butfelt the need to scold him for his disappearing act in December thatwas not good for his recovery. After said disappearance Jackson paidCJ a visit to let her know that he was ok and explain why hedisappeared. While she understood she still read him the riot act.Jackson made every follow up appointment rather than face CJ's wrathagain.

After his appointment Jackson was walking through the streets ofSan Francisco enjoying the air but knew that he had company. Jacksonstops at several stores and using the reflective surfaces keeps trackof the agents following him. Jackson goes about his business and doeshis best to annoy the FBI agents that have been tailing him since hereturned to his mother's home by dodging through large crowds,running into oncoming traffic, generally making them work harder thanthey intended. The FBI agents in question have been chalking up alarge amount of miles recently trying to keep up with Jackson.

The agents in question apparently are locals and seem to know thecity well but even still, Jackson grew up here and knows the citybetter than most. On foot Jackson has the skills necessary to blendinto a large crowds fairly easily. He had worn a jacket and ball capto the doctors office but left the items in CJ's stating he would beback for them at a later time. Walking out of the hospital in a graypolo shirt and sunglasses initially threw the agents off for a coupleof blocks before they somehow realized he had left CJ's office.

One of the agents ran after Jackson on foot while his partnerfollowed in their government issued car. Jackson made his way to thelocal mall where he began blending into the crowd there and duckedinto the restroom. The agent followed Jackson in and began checkingthe stalls for Jackson. He stood outside the final stall, guessingJackson had to be there. A short time later his partner showed up andthe two decided to haul Jackson in. The agents knocked on the doorand called Jackson out. When they received no response the agentskicked the door open only to find the stall empty. Jackson hadactually fooled the first agent by ducking into the adjourning ladiesroom and waited until the second agent had entered the men's room.The two agents heard something loud being dragged next to and thenwedged against the outside of the door. Pushing against the doorhandle they found themselves trapped in the bathroom. Jackson leftthe two in the restroom, stopped a few stores down and went aboutbuying a few new clothing items and going to a restroom on theopposite end of the mall, changed clothes made his way to the busstop to catch a ride to his next appointment.

An hour later found Jackson sitting at a park table in LafayettePark watching a young mother and her son. The young boy was playingon the playground equipment with several other youngsters on thisnice sunny day. The young woman in question was one Jessica Matthewand she came here with her son every three days as long as theweather was nice. Once he learned their schedule Jackson had beensurveying the mother and son periodically over the last four weeks.Jackson always dressed casually during these stake outs. He usuallybrought a book or his iPad and did his best not to draw any kind ofattention to himself. The last thing he needed was some suspiciousparent thinking he was there to abduct a child... or worse. Thiswould be far easier if he had a younger sibling or cousin to take tothe park but as this was no longer the case he was relegated todistant observations.

As he sat reading a book he was soon joined by Ramona Gibbler, hissurrogate sister and very good friend. During his time away Jacksonkept tabs on his loved ones despite keeping his work life separatefrom his personal one. Ramona had initially become a dancer aftercompleting college but was forced to stop after only three yearsafter sustaining a severe injury to her left knee. Ramona recoveredphysically but the doctors warned against continuing her career dueto the grueling schedule and the strain that her dancingprofessionally put on her body. Jackson learned that a year after herinjury she had taken up racing and decided to follow in her father'sfootsteps and become a Formula 1 racer. She was the firstprofessional woman to do this and the first to follow in a parent'sfootsteps.
