Audra turned her chair around.� "Well, hello there, stranger.� Long time, no see."� Audra was just being friendly. "Hey.� Well lookie here.� What brings you down here tonight, stranger?" Audra smiled.� "Not much.� Just enjoying dinner with a new friend."� She glanced toward Joanna.� "Have you met Counselor Joanna Kirk yet?" "I can't say that I have had the pleasure." "Joe, this is Joanna Kirk.� Joanna, this is Joe Garibaldi." "Good evening, Counselor.� Pleased to meet you.", Joe said coming over to their table.� His hand was outreached in the typical earther greeting. Joanna accepted the hand and shoop it.� "As am I to meet you," she replied.� She had not yet met the young officer, but she could tell that he was friendly.� "I understand that you and Audra are friends?" she said, throwing everything on the table.
� Audra thought she was going to die of embarrassment because the way Joanna had said the last comment made it seem like there was more to the relationshop than friends.� She was about to speak up when Joe responded. Joe picked up on the subtle undertone of the question.� He found Audra very attrictive, but their relationship had not gone that far.� At least not yet.� For the moment, at least, he would ignore it. � "That is right.� We have a respectful professional relationship, and healthy personal one.� Unfortunately, I have not been a real good friend lately.� Haven't called....", he said with a smile. � "Well, things have been hectic around here. We have all been busier than usual," replied the Ops Manager remembering that her stay in the hospital for a couple of days would have made contacting her difficult. "How is your uncle doin?" (Joe?)
