A/N Hey guys this is a quick two-shot. Umm I just have one question when you get to the end of the story could you please read the author's note so you could help me with the next part.

Jack's POV

"Shut up!" she said laughing as a blush crept up her face.

"What I just think it's funny that Mrs. Chan yelled at you for getting up to get a tissue." I repeated laughing.

"It wasn't I got yelled at in front of the hole class. It was so embarrassing." She said raising her hands to cover her face. We then started walking in a comfortable silence, as I snuck a few quick glances at her. I'm not gonna lie, Kim and I had grown close over the past year. We were supposed to go on a date after we all re joined the dojo, but we got caught skipping and got in trouble. Why haven't we gone on another date yet? Good question, I don't have the courage that I had 7 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 7 hours, and 42 minutes ago. So we are still just friends who blush, flirt, and hug a lot, but just friends. "Well thanks for walking me home Jack." She said as we reached he house.

"No problem. Hey ride our skateboards to school tomorrow?"

"Nah, we did that Monday, penny boards tomorrow." She said smiling.

"Sure. Bye Kim" and gave her a quick hug before I continued the next two blocks to my house. I walked in silence before I heard faint sirens, I instantly tensed and picked up my pace cause my gut had the worst feeling. I saw the flikring lights and started to sprint. My worst fear came true. There was at least 10 squad cars parked around my house there were men at all enterances and "police line: do not cross" tape around my whole house. I ran up to the front door ducking under the tape and ignoring the calls from the police. I opened up the front door and relief flooded my body as I saw my whole family was safely sitting at the kitchen table talking to a man in a suit. "MOM" I ran towards her.

"Jack! Thank god your safe." She said relieved and embracing me in a hug.

"What's going on?"

"Jack, honey he's back." She said softly. I could feel the blood drain out of my skin at the sound of the two words "he's back". My past had finally caught up to me.

The Next Morning:

Kim's POV

"Where is he?" I thought to myself as I stood at the top of my driveway holding my pink penny board in my hand. I pulled out my iPhone and checked the time, he was 15 minutes late, and still no text. Like how inconsiderate can guys be. If I don't leave now, I'll never make it on time. So I started my ride to school. When I finally got there I could just tell that something was off. Maybe it was the tons of police cars outside of the school, or perhaps the VERY thorough search that every student had to go through to get into the school building.

"Kimberly Crawford?" said the guy as he was my I.D.

"It's Kim, and what?" I said hastily, I had a test I needed to study for.

"Please come with me," he paused, "Kim." I followed as he led me to one of the faculties' conference rooms. I was sat down in a chair next to Jerry, Eddie, and Milton. Jack's whole family was sitting in the corner. His dad was holding hs mom in his arms. His younger sister was on his older sisters lap and his younger brother was right next to them. There were at least 5 guards in the room. Then the door opened two guards walked in followed by Jack standing between two guard, followed by another pair of guards. This looked serious. "What did you get yourself into this time Jack?" I said. "Quiet Miss Crawford!" said one guard. I then stood up, "Answer me Jack." I said looking him dead strait in the eye. The cop was giving me the dirtiest look, "Kim" Jack said weakily, "please sit down, I'll explain everything." There was something about the tone in his voice, was I hearing right, or could I hear fear in his voice. I slowly sat down as the cop had a triumphant look on his face. Jack sat across the table from us and he wouldn't look at us. I tried to read his face but there were too many emotions, I could just see guilt and fear, not a good combination. The door opened again Julie and Rudy walked in and were seated.

"What's going on?" Rudy asked, "I was sitting with Phil when these guys just came in and picked me up and drove me here. Rude." He said looking at two guys in suits and sunglasses standing emotionlessly in the corner.

"Rudy, I'll explain everything when everyone is here." He said not looking up. I quickly looked around the room wondering who else had to arrive, pretty much everyone is here. Then there was a knock on the door and everyone tensed, all the guards reached for their gun holsters. Then the door opened and a tall well-built guy, with Jack lengthed black hair walked in, holding a guitar case.

"Where's Jack?" he said looking around, Jack rose his head and his eyes lit up.

"DAD!" He said rising from his chair and jogging to the elder man. He gave him a long hug and the elder man let out a breath of relief. Now we need to backtrack a minute, I was pretty sure that Jack's one and only father was sitting in the corner since before I walked in. But now that I thought about it, this guy looked a lot more like Jack.

"Well now that everyone's here I guess I can tell the story. Umm well when I was 9 I witnessed a murder and the guy was taken into custody. He was a serial killer known as the Washington Slayer. When I had just turned 10 I stepped up the stand and was a witness that was the main reason he was convicted of first degree murder. Then when I was around 11 he escaped from jail and he tried to hunt me down. They eventually caught him when I was 12 and my mom made the decision to move here to Seaford. So yesterday I got back home and the police were surrounding my house and they informed me and my family that he escaped, while he was being moved from one jail to another, earlier that day and had told his roommate he would be back as soon as Jack Brewer is dead." It was dead silent in the room and all eyes were on Jack. He then sat down.

"Well as you may now know you are all in danger, the Washington strangler could use any of you to get to Jack. So we ask that for the next few days you try not to make any contact with Mr. Brewer. He won't be coming to school or karate practice, he and all of his family will then immediately be sent into hiding after this meeting. We will give you a few minutes to say your goodbyes and then you will all be going back to your everyday lives, like nothing ever happened."

"Umm question. How long until we can talk to Jack again? Cause we have a huge tournament coming up-" Rudy started.

"The specific amount of time is unknown. It could be days, months, possibly years-" he half replied before I stepped in.

"Wait hold up, years? So we are just supposed to forget about Jack for as long as it takes you. Forget it."

"Kim can I see you in the hallway?" Jack asked putting an end to my rant. I looked into his pleading eyes and couldn't say no. I let out a heavy breathe and walked out into the hall. Guards started to follow, but Jack stopped them. "I need to talk to her in private."

"Mr. Brewer I don't think that is the best idea." Said the mean cop who yelled at me when I first entered.

"I'll be in a hallway with guards on the end with no windows. I think I can manage it." He said sarcastically and followed me into the hall.

"Jack, you can forget about it, I'm not-"

"Kim stop, please just stop. I need you to follow whatever that man says, no matter how annoying and high strung he is." He said cracking a smile.

"Why?" I replied.

"Cause when I'm sent to god knows where for protection, that means I can't be here to protect you." He said grasping my shoulders.

"There you go again Jack. Trying to protect me, I don't need protection from you or anyone. I can protect myself." I said raising my voice.

"Kim, you can't always protect yourself, no one can. Not even me."

"Yeah okay the almighty Jack Brewer can't protect himself." He then lifted his shirt up which surprised me. It's not like I haven't see him without a shirt on, it just caught me off guard. Not because he has the body of a male god or anything, just it caught me off guard.

"Do you see this scar?" which I obliviously did. I had noticed it before but didn't think much of it. I nodded slowly. "He shot me when I was 11. The strangler shot me with the intent of killing me. Kim this scar everyday reminds me if my greatest fear. I- I can't let anything like that ever happen to you. So no matter how much the cop pisses you off, please listen to him, if not for your own safety, then for me. Please?" he asked. I slowly reached out and touched the scar. I slowly moved my hand over it.

"He- he actually shot you?" Jack nodded. "That's- that's so scary."

He placed his hands over mine over his abbs, just kidding his scar. "I know. Kim promise me you will stay safe while I'm gone."

"But what if they never catch him, will you ever come back? Or am I just supposed to just forget you?" I asked.

"No please don't that would really suck if my best friend forgot me." He said with a smirk.

"Oh I'm your best friend," I said crossing my arms. "Your best friend that had no idea that your parents were divorced." I said.

"I don't really like to talk about my parent's divorce. It's just I feel like I'm the reason they split up. But they were always fighting after he first escaped. Then it all went downhill after my mom wanted to move to the west coast. My dad couldn't leave his store, so they split." He simply stated.

"It's not your fault Jack. It's that psychopaths fault." Kim said.

"Whatever, it's all in the past. But what if it happens again and mom and Bill split up cause of this again?" he said worried.

"Well that won't happen unless you move, but that won't happen cause I won't allow it." I said simply. I then stood up and pulled him up. "Let's go back and talk to snooty the cop."

Three Weeks Later

I was at the mall, specifically Circus Burger, with Grace and Julie.

"Sooo Kim, how are you holding up without Jack?" Grace asked with a smirk.

"Well we lost our last tournament because Jerry couldn't beat Frank in the spar. Then Milton-" I was cut off.

"No I said how are YOU doing without Jack?" she said smiling.

"Well honestly, it's driving me crazy! I have no one wo skate, spar, or pass notes in history class. And the worst part is I don't even know if he is safe or if he even misses me." I said the last part very quiet.

"Wait so the great Kim Crawford has feelings for Jack?" said Julie sarcastically.

"Who could have known that Jack and Kim had feelings for each other?" said Grace playing along,

"Oh I don't know perhaps the whole student body of Seaford High." Replied Julie.

"Are you two done now?" I asked annoyed.

"Kim of coarse he misses you, if Julie was correct you and Jack had a little heart to heart before he left. Give us the details please?" Grace asked.

"It was nothing he just made me to promise him I would stay safe and he told me about his dad and what had happened with the strangler and stuff." I said as I shrugged it off.

"AWW he trusts you with his secret, Kim that is so cute." They both said at the same time.

"Mrs Crawford." I heard a deep voice behind me. I turned around to see two very familiar men standing with perfect posture.

"Hey aren't you those security guys?" I asked unsure.

"Yes Mrs. Crawford." They answered simutaniously.

"Well, why aren't you guys in suits or something?" I questioned a little confused.

They looked at each other and gave a look of guilt. "I'm afraid we have some bad news, concerning your friend Jack Brewer." Said the man on the left. I didn't hear much after that they told me they would drive us to the school to see the others. Julie and Grace were holding each other as tears ran down their faces in the back of the car. But I couldn't feel any tears on my face. Why wasn't I crying, Jack was gone forever and I would never spar, skate, see, maybe even kiss him. I just looked out of the window as we rolled down the usual streets of Seaford that looked much different know. We puled up in front of the school and I stepped out of the car. I got out of the car without a word and walked straight into the conference room and sat in the same chair I sat in three weeks ago and watched as the FBI took him out of my life forever. Slowly everyone else filed into the room and sat quietly. Then snooty the cop came in with a worried look on his face. He explained how Jack had been sitting in a café when he was shot by a hired sniper through a window. He had died on the way to the hospital repeating how he was sorry he let us all down. Great so Jack died thinking he wasn't good enough. After he finished talking I stood up and walked out of the room as Milton and Grace called my name.

A/N Hey umm as you can see Jack died. There is a scene where Kim gets comforted by someone. So I was wondering should it be Milton or Jerry. Please review your thoughts on who it should be or what you think so far. Thanks.
