i 'd spent the morning getting debriefed by our contact at the cia , followed immediately by flaming the gossip fires by kissing jack in the hallway , had watched my brother have a `` moment '' with a cheerleader , had discovered that jack actually knew how to create a password i could n't crack , had girl-talked with brooke while staking out jack 's father 's law firm , had discovered that the big guys knew more than they were telling , and to top it all off , i 'd nearly been hit by a car .
