Running from the Past
Summary: Someone from Jo's past comes to Mt Thomas and she is in terrible danger. Review please!
Chapter one:
Jo Parrish was sitting at her desk doing paper work, which everyone who worked with her knew, she did not like it. She would rather be out chasing criminals; that was a lot more fun. She had ten minutes before she could knock off and she couldn't concentrate anyway so she put the papers in her desk and went into the changing room. She came out five minutes later dressed and ready to go to the pub. She started to tippy-toed to the door but before she could Tom and PJ came out of Tom's office.
"Hey, where do you thing you're going?" Tom asked
"The pub!" She replied
"What about your papers, Parrish?"
"I'll do them tomorrow, Boss"
"You'd better, otherwise your grandchildren will be staying here" Tom called out to her as she disappeared out the door.
"Well, I'm going to knock off too" PJ told Tom
"Ok, bye" He said as PJ to disappeared out the door.
PJ ran out the door to Jo, who was backing out of the driveway, and waved her down. She wound her window down and looked at him.
"I suppose you want a lift to the pub?" she asked
"Well, since you asked, I guess"
"To the pub it is then"
He got in the front with Jo and she drove towards the pub.
"So, what do you want for dinner?" PJ asked
"Doesn't bother me"
"Well, you're cooking it"
"What? I cook all the time, you and Ben never cook" she complained
"That's because you're a woman, that's what women do" PJ told her
"No, it's not!"
"Jo, that's what women were put on this earth to do"
"Whatever have it your way" she said as she reached the pub.
"That's what I love about you"
"What? That I can cook?" Jo asked
"Yes and that as well" he said as he kissed her.
"I'll get the drinks, you grab a seat" Jo said
She moved over to the bar where Chris was standing.
"What will it be, Jo?" she asked
"Two beers thanks Chris"
"Here you go" she handed Jo the two beers.
"Thanks"
She turned around and came face to face with a man she only knew to well. She dropped the glasses and the pub went quiet.
"You look a little shocked to see me" the man said to her
She opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out. PJ came running towards Jo and looked at the man starring at her.
"Jo, is this man bothering you?"
"No, I-I'm going to go" She said before she ran out of the pub.
"What was that all about?" PJ asked the man
"We used to know each other, name's Mark Brian" He held out his hand for PJ to shake but PJ just stood there.
"Whatever you want from her, you stay away" he warned
"And what are you going to do about it?"
"I'm a detective and Jo is my college, I'm sure we can do something"
"Jo's a police officer? Well, she's certainly changed a lot"
"Just leave her alone"
PJ exited the pub and got a taxi home.
"Jo, are you here?"
No one answered so he checked her bedroom, she wasn't there. He decided to check the bathroom but he couldn't open it.
"Jo, are you in there?"
"Go away!" she replied
"But Jo, who was he?"
"No one, just drop it!" she snapped
"Fine, but if you want to talk, come out, ok?"
"Fine"
