Not this time

Carson swallows hard and watches Nate walk away, the words of advice ringing in his ears. Slowly he reaches up and slips his necklace over his head, holding the treasured locket in his palm. Flipping it open with his thumb, he looks at the picture of Misty...she was younger then than he'd known her...but those eyes...that smile...they were the same.

Closing the locket again, Carson wonders if Nate were right...did he have a second chance here? Did he want to take that risk? Misty could really hate his guts...but...she did still have the bracelet on.

Letting the chain fall back over his head, and tucking the locket under his shirt, Carson goes for his phone, dialing the number that was jotted on a sticky note. "Yeah, Alec...Carson Banks...need a favor... First flight out of here to England. I want to know everything you can find out about Sage Fair. Shouldn't be hard - she was on the front page of the paper this morning. I want to know where she lives and what she does. I'll be right on your heels."


Reese looks at Nate, stunned. Wyatt stands next to him, just as shocked. "I can't believe it...but...too many things add up for it not to be her."

Reese shakes his head. "Wow...I just...wow..."

Suddenly the door opens without anyone knocking. Carson stops in his tracks, looking at the three men. A hard determination has set in on his face and he focuses on Reese. "Requesting a leave of absence to fly to England." His eyes drift to Nate. "You're right. I'm not going to let this slip through my fingers...not this time."
