Okay,Chapter 10! PLEASE REVIEW! I'm SO sorry for not updating for a while but my life has been really complicated. But now I'm back!

ENJOY!

"W,here have you looked Doug", Tom asked.

"Everywhere! The school,the club,the other club, at our house

"Well we have to continue searching,come on let's go!" Tom said.

"Calm down for 3 seconds!"

"But Captain, we have to" Tom started before getting interrupted again.

"HANSON! First, you need to tell us what's happened."

"Yes, Hanson you have to calm down a little. What has happened since the club?" Ioki said.

"Sorry captain it's just that that girl has lost everything because of us, Hanson said. "First she got kicked out by her parent's then her friends called her a drape and leave her crying in the mall and then she get's threatened by some creep."

"It's ok Hanson, we will find her", the captain assured.

"But where can she be? We've looked everywhere."

"What about her friends", Doug asked.

"She's got no friends, remember? They left her because of us" Tom said annoyed.

"Still it's worth a try" Fuller said. Hanson, Penhall, goes to her friends and asks if they've seen her. Ioki, Hoffs, you visit her parent's. Remember, do not break your cover. I go to Hanson's and Penhall's place to see if she's there.

The four officers quickly did as they were told.

Jamie and Hannah sat in Jamie's room, talking. Jamie lied on her bed and looked up on the ceiling while Hannah was sitting in the window-seat.

"Hey Hannah, can't you sleep here tonight?"

"Yeah, sure, let me just call my parent's.

She rose up and got out of the room. 5 minutes later she was back.

"It was OK." Hannah said and lay down on the couch.

"Soft. You can sleep on the window-seat or in the couch. I think I know what you prefer." Jamie smiled.

"I think I'll take the couch." Hannah laughed. "Remember what Amy always took?

"Yes I was just thinking of that. She'd always take the window-seat. How can she sleep on that?" Jamie said. Hannah and Jamie began to laugh

"Hannah?" Jamie said after a long silence.

"What?"

"You think we were to mean to Amy?" Jamie asked and turned around to look at Hannah.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well… I was just thinking. She's been our friend since kindergarten. And besides… she hasn't changed so much."

"No, just her hair and her clothes and her attitude against the teachers but besides that, nope she hasn't changed", Hannah said ironically.

"But I have to agree, she continued after a minute, that the hairstyle look's good on her. "

"But why does she hang with the McQuaids?

"Well… they did save her life."

"Yeah but she doesn't need to be with them all the time."

"No, but you have to admit, that younger one, what's his name… Tom? He's very cute." Hannah said.

"Yeah, he looks really good, Jamie admitted,

Suddenly there was a knock on the door

Jamie and Hannah opened the door. Outside stood the McQuaids, smirking, Tom was chewing on his usual toothpick.

"HELLO"

"At least they didn't slam the door this time", Jamie whispered.

"Mc Quaids, she said coldly, what are you doing here?

"First of all we're gonna come in, Doug said. As they entered, Tom spat out his toothpick.

"Hey, you can't just… Jamie started but to no use. The McQuaids were already half in.

"Now, we were looking for Amy, have you seen her? Doug asked as they went into the dining room. It was really large with a fireplace and a coffee-table. On the coffee-table was a big bowl with fruit.

"Why are you looking for her here?" "She doesn't hang with us anymore." Hannah said coldly.

"We know that already, Tom grinned and took an apple from the bowl.

"Hey, you can't take the fruit. It's for guests and family." Jamie said sharply.

"Well… this must be your lucky day then, to have a McQuaid as a guest" Tom replied.

"So have you seen her," Doug asked.

"No we haven't and if we had we wouldn't tell you" Jamie said angrily.

"Yes you would, everyone tells us what we want them to tell us because" Doug started

WE'RE THE MCQUAID BROTHERS! HEH!

"We don't care who you are"! Hannah yelled.

"You ruined Amy's life!"

"What you mean ruined Amy's life?" Doug shouted.

"Oh don't start that! You know perfectly what we mean." Jamie yelled.

"Before you began at the school Amy was nice and wore nice clothes and studied and now! She look's like a tramp!"¨

Tom walked straight ahead to Jamie and stopped 2 inches from her face.

"If you ever say that a member of the Mc Quaid's gang looks likes a tramp you will regret it" Tom said in a deadly menacing way which sounded so much worse because he was calm.

"Come on Doug let's get the heck out of here". Then Tom and Doug looked at each other and just to be annoying they yelled:

"WE'RE THE MACQUAID BROTHERS! HEH!"

Tom and Doug left the house while Jamie and Hannah stood there staring at thw two brothers.

Later at Judy's apartment

"So have you found her?" Judy and Ioki asked as soon as Tom and Doug opened the door.

"No, we haven't", Doug admitted.

"Where have you been searching?" Fuller asked

"Everywhere!"

Suddenly "The final countdown" filled the room.

"Oops, gotta take the call", Hanson said.

"The final countdown?" Doug and Ioki mouthed.

"Are you serious? Oh man, that's awesome. Yeah, ok thank you blowfish" Tom said.

"Amy is down at the office, Tom said. "Blowfish found her in one of the bedrooms.

"The office, she wasn't there, I checked all the rooms," Fuller said.

Well she's there now so let's go. Tom said.

At the chapel.

The four officers and Fuller found Blowfish in the main room, trying to cheer up Amy who sat in a chair.

"Amy, are you alright"? Hoffs said and hugged her. Instead of answering Amy just rose up and went to another room. Tom turned to Blowfish,

"She's worried that the death threat will hurt us as well. I've tried to tell her that it's ok but she doesn't listen." Blowfish explained.

Tom and Doug began to walk to the room where Amy was but Judy held them back.

"I think she needs to be alone at the moment."

"What can we do to keep her safe Fuller?" Tom asked in a really low voice.

"You can all start at Aderton. Ioki, Hoffs are you done with your cases? Fuller asked with even lower voice.

"Almost I just need the McQuaid brothers to buy the drugs so I can arrest the creep." Ioki answered.

"I haven't received my papers so I have not been able to start at Aderton even though I was supposed to start there last week. Hoffs said."

"Okay… well I've got your papers here so you can start at Aderton on Monday; you'll go at a different class then Amy and the McQuaid brothers but you will have some lesson together. You'll all be at the same gang with the McQuaid as your leaders. I know that this is a new experience to go as a gang but I think it's the best cover for this case," Fuller said.

"Ok captain, the four officers said.

"Where can I live," said a voice behind them.

The four officers turned around. There stood Amy with tears in her eyes.

"What do you mean Amy?" Hoffs asked.

"I can't live with you anymore, it's too dangerous," Amy told Doug and Tom. Tom walked straight ahead to Amy and hugged her.

"Amy, he said softly, we don't care about us. The only thing we care about is that you are safe."

"But you can get hurt."

"We'll manage." Tom answered. Remember, who are we? He continued and looked at Doug and smirked. Doug rose up with a huge grin on his face.

"THE MCQUAID BROTHERS!" HEH!

Suddenly Tom and Doug was on the floor wrestling while the rest of the officers and Amy watched.

"Are they always like this, Amy asked Hoffs.

"Yes all the time." She said laughing. After a couple of minutes Tom sat on Doug's chest and said:

"Sorry Doug, but it looks like I have to give you a black eye again."

"Can't you give it to me tomorrow or something? It's Friday and we have a concert to go to."

"It's a deal."

"Amy, do you still wanna come with us?"

"Of course! But it's not Friday, it's Thursday." Doug checked his watch

"Actually, he said, it is Friday. She's half past twelve."

"It's half past twelve? Damn, I was wondering why I'm so hungry," Amy said. Doug and Hoffs looked amused at her.

"Amy, it's the first time I've heard you swear."

"You haven't eaten? Tom asked.

"Not since lunch."

"I know an open restaurant. Why don't you go there? Tom can take you." Hoffs said.

"Yeah that sounds like a great idea. Do you want to go Amy?"

"Eh… ok but I just have to put on different clothes."

"What you wear looks absolutely great." Tom assured her. Tom and Amy walked up the stairs.

"Hey what about me", Doug said. I'm also… he stopped when Hoff's elbowed him.

"Doug can't you see that they want to be alone?" Hoffs asked.

"Oh," Doug said, finally understanding. "Well Hoff's it's just happens to know that I also know an open restaurant. Want to go there with me"

"I'd love to", Hoffs answered and blushed.

Tom and Amy drove to the restaurant in Tom's blue mustang. A peaceful silence lay between them for, as Tom had said, they did not need to talk all the time to get to know each other. After 10 minutes of driving, Tom stopped at a restaurant called Ciao Due. When Amy saw the restaurant she got a little pale but soon recovered, hoping that Tom had not noticed.

Tom opened the door for Amy and they went inside. The host looked at Tom and down. Right now, Tom was wearing a black tshirt and the blue west. He also wore his bandana. Amy wore a blue skirt (link in my profile) and a black sleeveless top (link in my profile).

"Excuse me; we have clothes rules here at the restaurant so if you do not have other clothes with you I must ask you to leave.

Tom just grinned.

"Please leave the restaurant or I'll get the security."

"That won't be necessary", Amy said.

"Well then I suggest…" the host started but stopped when he recognized Amy.

"I'm so sorry Ms Hamilton. I did not recognize you at first, please come this way," the host said and led them to a table in the middle of the restaurant.

"Something more private?" Tom asked.

"Okay", the host led them to another part of the restaurant which was quieter. This part of the room was darker with candles on the walls, making it seem really peaceful. Amy and Tom sat down at a table in the corner.

"What was that all about", Tom wondered.

"My dad co-owns this restaurant."

"You'll think he be here tonight?" Amy shook her head.

"No, he's nearly always at home."

"So what was it like growing up?"

"My father is a businessman; he's co-president of the company Gallagher.

"Your dad is the co-president of the oil company?"

"Yep."

"So… Have you gone to a private school?" Amy grimaced.

"Yes I hated it. You had to be a lady and stuff like that so I transferred to Aderton."

"How did you make your parent's agree with it?

"Well… I said that there were boys who had long hair and tattoos there. My mom said that she didn't want me to attend a school like that so she asked what I thought of going to Aderton and I said okay. And look at me now, here I am with a boy who has a bandana, who always carries a gun and creates a mess on every lesson. "

Tom laughed and soon Amy began too.

"You know what to order yet?", Tom when they'd finally stopped laughing.

"Well… I'm thinking about the Pasta with mushrooms and ham. And you?"

"I don't know maybe I'll take pasta as well and a coke with that.

"Are you ready to order yet?" Tom hadn't noticed the waitress.

"Uh, yes I think we'll take pasta with mushrooms and I'll take pasta Bolognese.

"Anything to drink?

"Yeah, two cokes."

"So do you have any siblings?" Tom asked.

"Yeah, I have an older brother named James.I haven't seen him for years though. He lives in England and works for Gallagher."

"Wow, sounds like a lot of hard work."

"Yeah it is. How about you and your family?"

"My brother's the only family I've got. My dad was killed in a car accident and my mom has never been around."

"Oh, I'm sorry, when did it happen, if you don't mind telling, Amy said softly.

"Thanks and it's alright it happened for nearly 6 years ago."

"Where are you from?"

"I was born here in NY but then dad died so we moved.

"Where did you live after then?"

"For a while we lived with a family in Michigan but we wanted to live by ourselves so when we were fourteen we moved here.

"But how did that go? I mean you were 14.

"A friend of ours helped us."

"Who?"

"Judy's brother."

"But how did he do that?" Amy asked.

"He said that he was my mother's sister's husband."

"Is that how you and Judy met?"

"Nah, Judy is an old childhood friend. We met her during our first concert."

Then the waitress arrived with the food. The food looked really tasty.

"That looks really tasty, Tom said.

"How did you meet the other people in your gang?" Amy said after a while of just enjoying their food.

"We met when Doug and I started at the school which they were attending. We quickly became friends. That's the history of our gang. There was not a single person in the school who didn't know who we were. When Doug and I put up the school for sale and got expelled the teachers thought it'd be best just to leave Harry and Judy alone so they came and left like they wanted. Doug and I began at a new school where we met a girl.

"Me"? Amy asked, blushing.

"You," Tom confirmed,

"What I can't understand is why you hang out with me. There are tons of other girls who are more interesting than I am."

"Amy, you stood up for us, they didn't, and no they aren't so interesting." Tom answered with a crooked smile.

"You let me live with you after my parent's kicked me out."

"It was our fault that you got kicked out." Tom looked at his watch. "Amy it's half past one maybe we should go home and get some sleep?

"Ok, Amy said unwillingly."

They rose from their seat, paid for the food and drove home.

Amy's POV

This was the nicest date I've ever been on. It felt like I'd known Tom for ages.

Tom opened the car-door for me.

"Are you a gentleman tonight?" I asked. Tom looked playfully strict at me.

"Don't you remember what I told you when we were at the club? I'm only a gentleman when there's a beautiful lady nearby." he said.

Once again I blushed as we got in. I began to walk up the stairs when Tom said:

"Amy, you are beautiful" I ran down the few steps, gave Tom a kiss on the cheek and ran up the stairs and into my room as fast as I could. "What are you doing" I thought to myself. He doesn't want a girl like me. I quickly changed to my nightdress and went asleep.


So what did you think?
