Tru walked into the City Morgue then groaned as she saw Davis beside a new pickup.
"Details?" she asked Davis, today had been stressful enough without the whole "help me" thing.
"Um.. you know nothing important. Why don't you go sit down?" Davis said.
Tru who had been walking across to the body froze. "Davis?" She asked her voice shaking, "Who is it?"
Davis was quiet, unsure what to say. "Harrison's fine." He said before she passed out with panic.
"Then who?" Tru asked.
Davis took a step back as Tru slowly and shakily walked to the autopsy table. She closed her eyes and pulled back the shroud then she opened her eyes.
"Oh my God, Jack." Tru whispered. It wasn't a secret that Tru and Jack didn't seem to get on well, at first, seeing as they were arch enemies but lately they seemed to be getting close and even if they weren't she never wanted to see him dead.
"Can, Can I uh, can I have a moment Davis?" Tru finally stammered.
Davis nodded, "Sure."
Tru closed her eyes once again then they flickered open. "Jack." She said, "I know your not one for asking for help. Especially when it comes to me but please just ask me, please." Tru repeated the last word.
Jacks eyes opened and then his head titled to the right, "Tru," he whispered. "Save me."
"Jack," Tru said as she shot up out of bed. She quickly took off her pajama bottoms and shoved on a pair of jeans and then just threw on a jacket over her pajama top. Jack was going to die today and she had no idea how or when.
As Tru entered the City Morgue she stammered a little. "Davis don't ask just help," she said to her boss.
"Um.. one of those days? I got it. What we got?"
"I need an address for Jack."
"Jack!" Davis said taken aback. "Why do you need Jack's address?"
"Remember the whole 'no questions asked' thing I was just talking about?"
"Sorry," Davis said, "Just shocked and I can't find it remember. We tried before when we first found out who he was."
Tru was almost out of the door before Davis had finished, "It's cool." She said walking out faster than a bullet.
"But Tru - " Davis stopped. She was already gone.
Tru hurried back to her flat and paced the floorboards. How on earth was she going to save Jack?
She checked her watch, it said it was half 7. Shoot! I'm supposed to be meeting Harrison, Tru thought. She rushed down the stairs and then paused. Across the road she thought she saw, no wait. Was it? It looked like Jack but only one way to find out. She opened the door and ran across the road.
She smiled. It was Jack pure and in the flesh. She ran up and gave him a hug then stepped back in embarrassment. "I, uh, you, well - ," Tru stammered but Jack cut her off.
"Nice to see you too," he smirked. "I was just coming to see you."
"I am so glad." Tru said relieved.
"Tru, I'm not sure what's up, but I'm liking this new side to you. Don't suppose you want to stop medling with fate and just let this person die today?"
"You don't know? Do you?" Tru said, her voice lowering to a hoarse whisper.
"You mean about who's dying? Nope. That's why I came to see you."
"Jack. As much as sometimes I wish you'd die. There is no way that I'm letting that happen again."
"What?" Jack said, all abnoxiousness knocked right out of him. He had never feared death before but he didn't want to leave Tru in this world, not alone and quite frankly he didn't want to leave her side at all… for a couple of reasons.
"Can't mess with fate Tru," Jack finally said letting out a sigh.
"I am not going to let you die today Jack."
"Maybe it's not your choice. I don't want this anymore than you do but someone has to die today and no one else is dying because of me."
"Well quit then," Tru said.
"Tru," Jack counted to ten, "You know that's not how it works I can't mess with – "
"Fate, yeah, spin a new line. I will save your ass when I figure out a way until then screw you!"
"Tru!" Jack called but it was too late, once again she was already gone.
"Hey Harr," Tru said as she dialed Harrison's number. "Can't make our morning chat today sorry, but it turned out great yesterday anyways," Tru said smirking.
"Rewind day?" Harrison asked.
"Sadly," Tru said yawning.
"Who's dead?"
"Gotta go laterz," Tru said hanging up. If she told Harrison or Davies that it was Jack she was saving then there would be no help on hand.
