I hope you enjoyed the first Chapter. This chapter is going to be full of action. I hope you enjoy and please review to let me know whether I should keep going or not. Thanks.

Standing there is Tommy and Darius, nose to nose. The look on Tommy's face has Kwest ready to step in between them. He starts to step forward to do just that when Tommy starts talking. He decides to hold off to see if they can talk whatever this is, out.

"Why would you have a copy of the police report for Angie's accident? And why isn't this filed down at the police station?" Tommy looks at Darius so confused and hurt.

"Calm down T. It was filed. I was given a copy because you weren't able to deal with it at the time. I put it in the picture on my desk to hold onto it until you were strong enough to handle it. I forgot it was there."

"Wait a minute….did you read this, D?" Tommy has this shocked look on his face as he reads the paper.

Jude, Sadie, and Kwest are watching not sure what has happened. Kwest seems ready to jump between if it comes to blows.

"No T, it was not my business. It was yours, I had no reason to read it." Now Darius looks confused.

"D, it says that the brakes weren't working. They found evidence that the brake line was cut. Why would someone want to kill Angie?"

Portia steps into the office. She had been standing in the adjoining room listening to them.

She has a smirk on her face. "No one wanted to kill Angie, Tommy."

Tommy looks even more confused. "What are you talking about? Someone cut the brake lines."

Portia just sneers at him. "On YOUR car, Tommy. It wasn't Angie that was meant to die. It was supposed to be you."

Darius is standing there staring at Portia, trying to figure out what she is talking about. Jude is looking at Portia with a look of horror. She can't believe what she is hearing or seeing. There is so much hatred in Portia's eyes. This is not the Portia that she has known for the last 3 years.

"Portia, what exactly are you trying to say" now Darius is getting a look of horror in his eyes.

"Darius, you are so stupid. You took care of everything without even realizing it. You were so worried about Tommy that you hurried them to close the case. Worried more about Tommy than you were your own sister. He cheated on me with her. Do you realize what that did to me? Did you care? No, all you cared about was your precious little Tommy Q. I didn't mean for Angie to die, but he suffered more that way, so I guess it all worked out for me. I have enjoyed watching him suffer for the last five years. Then he hooks up with that little tramp."

She points at Jude when she says this. Jude can't move. She appears to be in shock.

"I have been watching it for three years build up. Then he was happy again. Why should he get to be happy when I still suffer everyday thinking about what he did to me? So when Hunter showed up, it was perfect. All I had to do was slip about the little tramp here and he would take care of that problem for me. See I really did like you Jude, but you shouldn't of messed with my man. But then Tommy had to go and interfere. So I guess its up to me."

As she said this, she pulled a gun out of her purse and aims it at Jude. Tommy screams and dives for Jude. The gun goes off as he reaches her. It was too late, but he had bumped into Portia's arm as she was firing. Tommy looked down at Jude. Her shoulder is bleeding. She is losing blood quickly. Sadie kneels down by her, sobbing and trying to stop the bleeding. Kwest runs from the room to go get help.

Darius who had froze up until he heard the gun go off, looked up in time to see Portia raising the gun back up. He tackles her from behind. As she lands, the gun goes off again. Neither Darius nor Portia are moving. People from the party start rushing down the hall to see what the shots were. Sadie is still sobbing and covering the gunshot wound.

Kwest rushes back in. He sees Darius and Portia laying on the floor, still not moving. Tommy is knelt down by Jude holding her hand, whispering to her that she is going to be alright. Kwest runs over to check on Darius and Portia. Darius rolls over and Kwest looks down and sees the blood spreading out from Portia's body. Her eyes are open and unseeing. She has no pulse. Darius is sobbing, not understanding how any of this happened.

EMT's rush into the room with two stretchers. One goes over to where Jude is laying. The other heads over to Portia.

They get Jude loaded and start to head toward the ambulance. Tommy is still holding her hand, running alongside. "Don't leave me," Jude whispers, as she looks at Tommy.

Kwest tells him to go with her. He will follow with Sadie. They turn to head to Kwests car in time to see the body bag brought out on the stretcher. Darius follows it out. He runs over to Kwest and asks about Jude. He appears to have gotten over the initial shock. He tells Kwest, he will be at the hospital soon. He has to speak to the police first and explain what had happened. Kwest looks behind him and sees the detective standing right behind him.

"I'll let Tommy know, D." Kwest yells at him over his shoulder. Him and Sadie run for the car.

When they get to the hospital they run to the Emergency area. Tommy is sitting outside the ER in a chair bent over with his head in his hands. Sadie runs over and kneels in front of him.

"Have you heard anything yet? How is she?" Sadie grabs Tommy's hands.

"I haven't heard anything yet. They said they would send the doctor out when they know something." Tommy says crying.

As Sadie sits down and puts her arm around Tommy, the door opens and a doctor steps out and looks around until he spots them. They stand up as he approaches.

"It looks real good. She lost quite a bit of blood, but we were able to give her a transfusion. The bullet didn't hit any major arteries and does not appear to have caused any permanent damage. Some physical therapy and she should be as good as new. We are going to keep her for a couple of days just to make sure that no infection sets in."

As the doctor said this, Sadie wrapped her arms around Kwest, so happy that Jude was alright. Sadie then turned and pulled Tommy into her arms. He was crying and smiling at the same time. "She's gonna be alright. She is really gonna be alright." he whispered to himself as he sat back down in the chair. His legs were shaking and he knew he couldn't stand any longer.

"Is any of you Quincy? She has been asking for Quincy since she got here." the doctor said looking at them.

"I'm Quincy." Tommy said as he stood back up.

"Come with me then and I'll take you to go see her." the doctor said then he looked at Sadie and Kwest. "As soon as he is done, you two can go in and see her for a few minutes."

Tommy looked at Sadie and she nodded. Tommy followed the doctor to Jude's room. He stood outside the door and took a deep breath. He was scared of what he would see in her eyes. Was she gonna hate him? He wouldn't blame her this was all his fault. None of this would have happened if it wasn't for him. All he wanted to do is love her and protect her and this is what happens. First Hunter and now this with Portia. He lowers his head and opens the door.

Jude is laying there sleeping. Tommy walks over next to her. He lovingly wipes her hair off of her face and reaches over and kisses her forehead. He sits down in the chair next to her and just sits there holding her hand.

Hmmm...Will Jude blame Tommy for what happened and hate him? Stay Tuned...

Ok so a little bitty sneak peek...in no particular order.

"Jude, I love you so much and I thought I lost you." Tommy is looking at Jude with tears running down his face.

"I don't think I can do this, Tommy." Jude cries as she says this. She isn't able to look at him.

Stay tuned to the next chapter to find out what is actually going on...
