Disclaimer: You know it, but I'm going to repeat it. Power Rangers don't belong to me….yada, yada, yada. Although I wish Jack did.
Chapter 3
Next day
Bridges mouth fell open. "No way."
Sydney smiled. "That's so cool."
"So what's he going to do about it?" Sky enquired.
Z shrugged. "He's thinking about what to do with his new found information. I hope he…" Z stopped talking when she saw Jack enter the room. "Hey Jack. How's it going?"
Jack kept silent until he reached his friends. He sat down and sighed. "I guess you've all heard about what Cruger and Kat told me last night."
Syd bombarded Jack with questions and didn't waste a breath between each one. "So what information were you given on your family? Where do they live? Are you going to contact them?"
"Well my father was an only child and his parents live in Vancouver, Canada, where he was born. My mom was from Blue Bay Harbor. The rest of her family still resides there which includes her parents and two half brothers' along with nieces and nephews."
"That sounds cool. You should contact them." Bridge paused. "You are going to contact them, aren't you?"
"When I lost my parents I wanted to have a close family so much. Now, I don't know. I'm doing fine on my own and I don't really need them, especially when I have Z and you guys. They know I'm safe and that's all that matters." Jack got up to get something to eat, leaving his shocked friends at the table.
Syd nudged Z to go over and talk to Jack. As Z left the table Syd turned to her two remaining. "So what do you think Sky? You've been pretty quiet."
Sky shrugged. "It's up to Jack what he wants to do. We can't force him into contacting them."
"I thought that you of all people would understand about the importance of family."
"For all we know Jack could be in for a let down if he contacts them. How do we know that they are good people?"
"Why are you being so negative about this?" Bridge asked.
"Have either of you heard of his family searching for him after his parents died?"
"No, but it doesn't mean they didn't." Bridge said.
Zgently laid her hand on her best friends shoulder. "Jack you've got to think about this some more."
"No Z. Why are can't you just leave it?"
"Because, I would do anything to have what you have, or could have. Sure we have each other and the rest of the team but for me it's not enough. I thought it was the same with you."
"Well it's not. So if you excuse me I'd like to eat breakfast before the next attack on the city." With that Jack left Z standing by the replicater.
As Z watched him leave she decided that if Jack wasn't going to listen to reason, then she'd have to take action herself.
Two Days Later
Blue Bay Harbor
A young female sat in front of the fireplace and taped up a medium sized brown box. She looked up at the grandfather clock and brushed off her hands. "Nana I have to go or I'll be late for class."
Julia looked up at the clock and took off her glasses. "Time sure goes fast when you're having fun." Julia smiled over at her granddaughter.
Fiona inwardly thought, 'She finds packing fun?' as she stood up. She couldn't help but smile at her grandmother. "I promise that as soon as class finishes I'll come straight back to finish this off."
"Sure dear. Have fun with your class." Julia watched Fiona pick up her gym bag. "Are you not changing before you go?"
"Erm, no. I'm gonna change once I get there. I'll see you later."
"Where is your class?"
"On the other side of town." Fiona answered while waving her hand in the general direction. Her grandmother was a very inquisitive and she hated lying to her about what her classes really were. "C-ya."
Just as Fiona reached the front door she heard Julia again. "Could you bring me my mail please? It's on the table in the kitchen."
Fiona felt like stamping her feet. She was never going to get out of there. Doing as her grandmother asked, she entered the kitchen and retrieved the mail. She filed through them as she made her way back to the living room. "Hey there's one with SPD markings on it. What did you do Nana?"
"Funny." Julia took the mail. "I thought you had somewhere to go, nosy."
"I do. After you open the SPD letter that is."
Julia shook her head as she broke the seal and opened the flap. Immediately a light beam glowed and an image of a female SPD officer appeared. "Mr. and Mrs. Samuels. My name is Cadet Elizabeth Delgado and I'm a close friend of Jack Landors. I would like to talk to you about Jack. Please don't worry. Jack is perfectly fine. He just doesn't know that I'm doing this. Please get in touch…"
Julia closed the flap. "Jack."
"Jack? Do you mean Jack as in Aunt Sarah's Jack?" When Julia didn't answer, Fiona stooped down in front of her. "Nana, are you alright?"
Julia looked up; her eyes threatening to let loose trickles of tears. "I've...we've waited so long to hear from him. It's finally going to happen."
What is Z up to?
Will Jack ever change his mind?
And what is Fiona hiding from Julia?
Stay tuned for the next chapter of Power Rangers SPD: Lost & Found.
AN: Well there's a little snippet on a coulple of members from Jack's family on his mother's side. There is a reason why Jack's two uncles are his mother's half brothers and you may guess who he is related to without mentioning names. Naturally his Grandmother's surname is different to any known character's (so not to make who I had in mind too obvious). More on the family in the next chapter. Let me know what you think.
