Sometime during the night Jo and Tina were sound asleep. For sometime now Jo has hardly had the nightmare of being hit by the drunk driver. But tonight Jo had the dream.
Jo stopped at an intersection and smiled as she looked at her watch and seeing that she would be home in five minutes.
Just as the light turned green Jo pulled into the intersection and turned her head and seen the car blow the red light and hit her square on. But this time the dream was different from all the others, this time she was experiencing it in slow motion. Again as Jo turned her head she seen the car coming right at her, and just as the care hit her she could clearly see the face of the driver.
The face belonged to Gina.
Just then Jo shot up from the bed and hopped around the room for a few moments before grabbing onto the dresser for balance.
Tina quickly got up and went to Jo, "It's ok Jo, I'm here."
Jo was sweating and breathing heavily as she spoke through gritted teeth, "I seen the driver's face."
Tina nodded, "Charlie and Rose said the Doctor expected this to happen."
Jo looked at Tina, "Tina, the driver of the car that hit me was Gina."
Tina was shocked to hear what Jo just said, "What?"
Jo nodded, "Some how and I believe some time soon. Gina will go back in time and try to kill me and make it look like a drunk driver did it."
Tina looked over to the corner where their safe was, "Are you saying that we have to make sure Gina gets the crystal?"
Jo nodded, "That's exactly what I'm saying."
Tina wrapped her arms around Jo, "And if we don't give it her..." Tina started to cry as she laid her head on Jo's back, "I'll never have you in my life."
Jo turned and held Tina, "I'm going to do everything I can to make sure nothing happens to what we have."
Just then Lucky even though he was still a kitten walked up and sat at their feet and gave a squeeky mew as if telling them he was there to help.
Tina smiled, "Come tomorrow we'll place an ad to let Heather know we need to see her."
Jo nodded, "And I'll contact Agent Gains and let him know also."
Tina smiled, "Now lets take a shower and then go back to bed."
Jo smiled, "Sounds good to me."

The next evening everone including Agent Gains was at Jo and Tina's apartment.
Gains looked at Jo, "Ok Mrs. Polniaczek, you called the meeting."
Jo nodded, "People we have a situation on our hands."
Boots looked at Jo, "What's wrong?"
Jo sat back in her chair, "Last night I had my usual nightmare."
Mason raised an eyebrow, "That's the situation?"
Jo looked back at Mason, "Part of it. Now as I was saying, last night I had my usual nightmare. But this time it was different, this time I experienced it in slow motion. As usual I was pulling out into the intersection to make my turn to head home. But as I did a car being driven by a drunk driver blows the red light and hits me. Or so I thought."
Boots looked at Jo, "What do mean by 'So You Thought'?"
Heather eyes widened, "Oh My Dear God!"
Jo looked over to Heather, "I do believe Heather has figured it out."
Heather now had tears in her eyes, "There was no drunk driver in the car that hit Jo."
Gains shook his head, "If it wasn't a..." Gains now figured it out, "Gina."
Jo nodded, "As I said this time I experienced the dream in slow motion. So as the car was approching me I was able to get a clear view of the driver. And the driver was Gina."
Mason shook his head, "Then that means Gina some how gets the crystal and uses it to go back in time and tries to kill Jo and make it look like a drunk driver did it."
Gains shrugged his shoulders, "Then we need to make sure she doesn't get it."
Heather looked at Gains, "Somehow in the next few days Gina get the crystal and makes her trip back in time."
Jo looked at Gains, "And if we did stop her, it would change the time line. And I'm not going to let anyone take away what me and Tina have built together,"

Over at the The Peninsula Beverly Hills Blair and Crystal were relaxing in the living room of their Royal Patio Suite.
Crystal smiled as she looked down into Blair's eyes, "You know, tomorrow you should march right over to the Holltwood Station and beat the answers you want out of Jo."
Blair raised an eyebrow, "Don't tempt me sweetie, I just might do it."
Crystal held Blair closer to her, "I know, it's just that if you should go to the Station tomorrow and confront Jo and get your answers."
Blair now had tears in her eyes, "I'm scared if I do, I might loose you."
Crystal shifted and laid Blair out on the couch and got on top of her, "That will never happen, you and I have so much together." Crystal placed her hand on Blair's lower abdomen and Crystal place her hand on Blair's, "Plus you need to let her know the special news."
Blair kissed Crystal, "I still can't believe we're going to be momies."
Crystal smiled as she kissed Blair back, "Two very special mommies."
FoLFoLFoLFoLFoLFoL
The next morning Jo and Tina were getting ready to leave when Jo went to the safe and opened it and took out the crystal. Jo looked at Tina, Now to find the right time to make sure this gets to Gina."
Tina looked at the crystal in Jo's hand, "When I first saw it, it wasone of the most beautiful crystals I've ever seen. But now, not only is it beautiful but it gives me the creaps for what it can do."
Jo nodded, "I know what you mean." Jo stood and put the crystal in her purse, "When we get to the station, I'll put it in me and Boots' car. It'll be safe there untill it's time."
FoLFoLFoLFoLFoLFoL
Twenty minutes later Jo and Boots pulled into the parking lot at the Station.
As Jo got out she looked up and seen Blair and Crystal standing there, "What do you want Blair?"
Blair rolled her eyes, "You know what I want."
Jo snorted, "No."
Blair decided enough was enough, "Listen you hot headed bitch. I'm going to get some answers from you or so help me I'll beat them out of you."
Jo slowly walked up to Blair, "Don't go and make threats you have no intention on keeping. But if you do feel like swinging on me? make sure I don't get up." Jo then turned to head inside.
As Blair reached out and grabbed Jo's arm, Jo twisted free and grabbed Blair. But before she could put her to the ground Blair twisted herself free and had Jo on the ground with her arm pinned behind her.
Blair smiled, "Now we can keep fighting if you want, and I can asure you I will win. or you can take a few minutes of your time..." Blair the shouted, "...AND GIVE ME THE DAMN ANSWERS I NEED!" Blair smiled, "What's it gonna be Jo? your choice.'
Jo sighed, "Mind letting me up?"
Blair released Jo's arm and got up from her back, "Sure."
Jo rubbed her shoulder, "Damn princess, where did you learn to fight?"
Blair grinned, "Here and there, but most of my skills were taught to me by a humble old Shoalin monk who lives in upstate New York."
Jo winced a bit, "Well ya got some moves there Blondie." Jo reached into her purse and pulled out one of her L.A.P.D. Buisness Cards and a pen and wrote her address on it, "Be here tomorrow night."
Blair looked at the address, "Why tomorrow night."
Jo shook her head, "I'll explain tomorrow night."
Blair raised her hands, "Fine, I'll be there tomorrow night."
Jo nodded, "Now if you'll excuse me I have a Job to do."
FoLFoLFoLFoLFoLFoL
Over on the other side of the parking lot Gina was sitting in her car laughing her head off as she watched Blair take Jo down.
Gina smiled as she watched Jo get up and rub her shoulder, "That'll teach ya." Tina looked at her watch, "Well time for..." Just then a red light on her watch began blinking, "What the hell is going on?" Gina pointed her watch towards Jo and watched the light blink faster. Gina watched what was going on and watched the red light blink slower as Jo grabbed her bag and headed inside, "The only way that light would do that is if..." Gina smiled as she waited for Jo to entered the Station, "Why Mrs. Polniaczek, you have a Dilithium Crystal in your possesion. I think when the time is right, I'll be taking it off your hands. You sure don't have a use for it." Gina grabbed her bag and headed inside.
FoLFoLFoLFoLFoLFoL
After changing into her uniform, Jo went out to her and Boots' patrol car and put the crystal in the trunk untill they were ready to let Gina take it. Jo then made her way back inside and to the briefing room.
A few minutes later Captain Mason entered the room, "Ok people, lets take your seats. We have a briefing to do." Mason opened his folder, "First item, Officer Parker, the next time your car is found in the condition it was found yesterday, you will be washing and waxing each and every car at this station. Do I make myself clear."
Officer Wilma Parker spoke up, "Yes sir." Wilma Parker was fun to be around, it's just that at times she didn't put her trash in the trash can. She just left it where it dropped.
Everyone laughed.
Mason smiled, "Second item, "Headquarters has sent a specialest over to discuss the gang situation. Anyone interested can sign the paper as you leave."
Jo looked at Tina, "I would be great on a gang task force, growing up in the Bronx have given me insight on how gangs work." Jo smiled, "Maybe I could teach them a thing or two when it comes to gangs."
Tina looked at Jo and grinned, "They'd probablly turn the task force over to you just because of growing up in the Bronx."
Everyone laughed.
Mason spoke up, "ok, ok. Now item three. This week's B.O.L.O.s are ready for you as you leave. Make sure you get one." Mason looked at his folder, "Again, the government wants us to keep an eye out for Steven Marcus. Previous rule applies, do not try to apprehend him.
Call in his location so we can work an old fashion dragnet."
Officer Dryer spoke up, "Didn't the courts rule Dragnets to be unconstitutional?"
Mason nodded, "Most are, but the one we'll be doing isn't. Our dragnet will consist of flooding the area with more cars untill we locate the suspect. Once we have him we can then take him into custody." Mason closed his folder, "Ok people lets hit the streets."
FoLFoLFoLFoLFoLFoL
The next evening Jo and Tina were sitting in their apartment with Mason, Boots, Heather and Agent Gains.
Boots looked at Jo, "Did Blair say when sh..."
Just then there was a knock at the door.
Tina got up and answered the door.
There staning in the hall was Blair and Crystal.
Tina stepped to the side, "Please, come in."
Blair looked around the room, "i thought we were going to have a privet talk?"
Jo took a sip of her coffee and sat the cup down, "You thought wrong."
Blair smiled, "Boots...Boots St. Clair?"
Boots smiled, "It's Franklin now, I'm married."
Jo pointed to the woman and two men, "Before we start, I want you to meet Heather Richards, Captain Mason my Watch Commander and Agent Gains, he with a government organization the keeps track and if needed bring down other organizations like the 'Collective'."
Blair sat down, "Why are they here", our talk has nothing to do with them."
Boots spoke up, "Your talk with Jo has everything to do with us."
Jo got up and got Blair and Crystal some coffee, "What do you know about my accident?"
Blair took the offered coffee, "Just what the Police Reports said."
Jo nodded, "Before we dwell further into that you were wanting to know why I never wanted to see you again. It's like this Blair, you would have treated me like a cripple." Jo quickly raised a hand, "Don't try and deny it. Look what happened to Nat when she broke her leg after falling down the stairs. And how about Tootie when she was in that auto accident and walked away with just a broken arm." Jo took a sip of her coffee, "You have a habit of smothering people when they don't want it."
Blair had tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I thought I was only helping."
Crystal looked at Jo, "Then why did you let Blair help you when you took that spill on your bike about six years ago?"
Blair smiled, "We were just playing around then, all she had was a minor case of road rash"
Jo smiled, "Minor? minor? Do you know how hard it is to cover a road rash scar with some of the dresses I wear? It's a real bitch." Jo sighed as she took a sip of her coffee and sat the cup down, "I would have eventually come to you and explained to you what was going on. But I wanted to do it on my own terms."
Blair leaned over and gave Jo a hug, "Just promise me one thing."
Jo rolled her eyes, "Great now I got to make a promise."
Everyone laughed.
Jo looked at Blair, "I promise I won't leave you out next time."
Blair hugged Jo again, "Thanks Jo." Blair looked at her cup and got up and went to the serving cart to get more coffee, "Now, answer me this, how the hell can someone afford Hawaiian Kona Coffee selling at thirty-four dollars a pound coffee civil service pay?"
Jo smiled, "I have ways." Jo took a sip of her coffee and the looked at Blair, "You better have a seat, Because what we're about to tell you will blow your mind."
