Summary: Josh gets suspicious not to mention slightly
jealous when Donna and Sam start spending time
together. But all isn't what it appears to be.

Author's notes: Just a warning guys this story is a
little weak on plotline....:)


Josh Lyman swore silently as yet another file fell to
the floor of his office as he tried to sift through
the mess that was his desk.

"Donna!"Lyman shouted as he came up empty on the third
pass of his desk. Where the hell was the EPA file on
farming pesticides? He knew he had seen it this
morning. It was only then that Josh realized his assistant
wasn't in his office.

"Donnatella!!"Josh called again hoping that using her
full name would get her attention.

Bonnie knocked on his open office door. "Josh? Don't
you know that Donna left for lunch an hour ago?"

Josh glanced up from the stack of files and computer
printouts. "Obviously not or I wouldn't have wasted
five minutes calling her. Since when does she leave
for lunch so early?"

Bonnie shrugged. "I don't know....she went somewhere
with Sam."

Josh's head shot up. "Sam?"

"Yeah."Toby's assistant replied.

"Was it a working lunch?"Josh asked as his mind
scrambled for reasons as to why Donna would be having
lunch with Sam Seaborn.

"Not sure,"Bonnie replied looking at him strangely.
"Anything you need me to find?"

"Yeah,"Josh replied as he gingerly pulled his hands
away from the leaning pile. "See if you can find where
Donna hid the EPA file on pesticides."

"Sure."

"Thanks Bonnie."

A few seconds later Bonnie poked her head back into
the office.

"You found it already?"Josh asked surprised as he
walked around the corner of his desk.

Bonnie shook her head. "No, I was just wondering if
you wanted me to order lunch?"

"No thanks, I'll grab something later."Lyman replied
suddenly not very hungry.

"Okay."
