Hey again, please keep reviews coming, thankies.

Tru breathed a small sigh of relief as Maria walked out the house on her cell phone to what seemed like the hospital. Out of sight and earshot, Tru climbed out of the bush and glared at Jack, so many questions running through his head: who the hell did he think he was anyway? Knock Harry out then help her? Was he trying to screw with her head?

Jack after setpping out from his hiding place, stepped back from Tru not even wanting to hazrad a guess at what was coming next.

"Explain all before my temper become beyond pissy and instead of her dying, you die," Tru raied an eyebrow glaring defiantly at Jack.

Jack sighed how much was he to tell her? And what would be the point anyway? OK so he'd started disobeying Richrd's orders so that was one point but another thing...what if telling Tru broke her up, more than Jack could handle? She was strong but her whole life had pretty much been based on lies and no one would be able to handle that well.

"What exactly am I explaining?" Jack asked playing dumb.

Tru glared at him, grabbing his arm sleeve and hauling him over to a nearby wall that they could easily jump and get to a quieter place where no one would say anything if voices got raised. Once there she looked at him, "Don't play with me, Jack. Why the hell did you knock Harry out, why are you helping me and who the hell do you think you are and don't get cute on the last one," she said expecting from Jack somethiogn along the lines of 'Jack Harper.'

Jack raised an eyebrow, "I told Harry that was for his own good only you can't know all the details," Jack half explained, deciding to keep her out of harms way and Richard out of it.

Tru raised an eyebrow: when did he get so darn pathetic and cute. No not cute never cute, not in that way. "Why are you helping me?" she demanded not sure about his last answer, something was going on.

He shrugged, "Maybe I want out."

Tru raised an eyebrow, "Hard day at work?"

"Look Tru me and you don't get along, sadly for a number of reasons but you gotta trust me when I tell you, Harrison and maybe you are in danger and I'm helping you because...," Jack trailed off, screw that since when did he haev to explain himself to her? "Believe what you want, I'm out of here," he said starting to walk away before pausing when Tru shouted on him and turning back around.

"Where's Harry?" Tru asked doubting he'd actually answer.

Jack sighed, digging into his pockets and throwing his keys at her then walking away leaving a gobsmacked Tru watching him go, clutching his keys.

Walking away not caring about his keys or much anymore sighed to himself. Why was life sometimes so difficult? And why on earth did people want powers and responsibilities, as far as he was concerned that was pretty much the way to hell, digging yourself in to something deep. He'd done that a few times; relationships and other stuff, swearing he'd never make any big commitments that would ruin his life all over again yet here the biggest commitment with Richard tha he'd so desperately wanted at the start was tearing through him. There was days where life just sucked and Jack was usually a guy who looked on the bright side; not today, definitely not today.

What on earth was Jack playing at? Tru thought to herself as Jack disappeared out of sight; this must be the weirdest day in history and Tru had had a lot of weird days, some pretty tough to beat. Tru thought to herself about what the hell Jack was up to, almost scared to go to his flat but it was to help Harry.

Tru looked around as she neared thr place she'd figured out Jack's was and walked to his flat, opening the door receiving an almost knock out from Harrison then a huge cuddle. "Hey how'd you get in?" he asked her amazed, he'd never figured her to be the criminal type, you know prise the door open then again, since this whole dead people gig...

Tru held up the key receiving a weird look from Harrison and an 'explain' face.

She shrugged, "I spoke to Jack," Harry giving her evils and more of a 'you better explain.' She sighed, "Jack and I had to work together for this one thing and then he went all weird, I asked him where you were and he threw me his keys and now I have to go find him," Tru said turning round.

Harrison ran in front of her, holding her shoulders as if to keep her tame like she was going to bolt, "Wait hold on, you have to what?"

"Figure out what he's up to," Tru said irritated then thinking to herself why she'd even told Harry she should have known what he'd be like. Sweet? Yes but really irritating? Even more so.

"Whoa slow down, Tru. He's dangerous."

"I'll work on the case I have to first," Tru said, "The I'll think about it," she said, half lying. She was going to check if Maria was OK then she was going after Jack, not that Harry would know that.

Harrison sighed, "Don't do anything until you've called me, OK? Promise."

Tru nodded, "I promise," she said walking around him and heading to her car then the hospital, Harrison could walk, they weren't that far away and she didn't want a lecture on the whole Jack thing, especially not when she... liked him?

Tru sighed as she got to the hospital, parking her car and walking in up to reception, just about to ask where Maria was when she saw - Damn! If he'd - Tru was blazing, if he'd screwed her along she'd kill him herself. She kept calm long enough to walk quickly behind him, just leaving the coffee machine and walking down an aisle, probably to Maria's. Tru breathed in deeply, reminding herself not to cause a scene in the hospital, she jumped out in front of him, "What the hell are you doing here and I swear, if you've done anything to keep Maria dead or whatever I will kill you -" Tru paused as he looked up at her, like he'd been...crying? Tru raised an eyebrow a little, maybe she was seeing things she highly doubted it but what was up with him and why on earth did she have this urge to comfort him?

"Don't start," Jack said stopping outside a room, hands clutched around his cup of coffee, "She's alive for now, look yourself," Jack said nodding into the room, Tru looking in too then sighing defeatedly, OK she was alive.

Tru stepped back, "Wait, what do you mean yet?"

"Remember when we worked together last time? You told me that there was more than one way to help someone than prevent their death," Jack said still looking through the room at Maria, "They can't save her, just the baby," Jack said still not looking at Tru.

"How do you know that?" Tru asked.

Jack shrugged, "Young pregnancies and stuff, I know some things OK? There is no way in hell they can save her."

Tru lookde defiantly at Jack, "There's no way she's dying again."

Jack suddenly turned to her, a little of his coffee even spilling, "And what exactly can you do?"
Ok he had her there; if they couldn't save her, like he said, if that was even true then what was she meant to do?
