Chapter 11

I don't own 21 Jump Street, I do own Crystal and any other OCs I create.

A special thanks goes out to Chick on Wheels for all of her help. Please review! Reviews help me to know whether I should continue!

Harry slowly walked towards Mrs. Hanson's house; looking at the bright Christmas lights that Tom no doubt had to put up. As he came closer, he felt his heart begin to pound uncontrollably, as he took a deep breath he reached into his pocket and felt his hand wrap around a small box; a box he had bought that day. He pulled it out and looked at it. Harry was tempted to look at the ring inside, but knew that if he did he would probably freak out, suddenly he thought about earlier that day.

"I can't believe you're doing this!" She squealed. When Harry had told her what he wanted to do, she had sped over to the apartment as fast as she could and now here they were looking around in the local flea market looking around. Judy saw Harry looking over at a certain row of rings and went to stand next to him. She looked at the rings then at Harry; "I can't believe you're going to propose! After only 4 months." She said as she held a diamond ring up to the light for a second before Harry took it and put it back where the others were and glared at her "Don't pick one up unless you think that Crystal would love it." He almost growled before looking back at the rings. He knew that he shouldn't be so frustrated, but he had been here for an hour and Judy hadn't been a lot of help. First she had tried to convince him to go to a jewelry store, but Harry knew that Crystal would want something different then a plain diamond ring, they had been looking for an hour and a half and still hadn't found anything. He sighed; "Maybe I should've called Adam." He said as Judy looked at yet another ring, she looked up at him; " Ugh, why didn't you then? " she said. Harry looked at her "Because you're one of my best friends." He smiled as she glared at him; "And because I'm your only friend that's a woman." She said smartly. He simply shook his head, as he did something caught his eye he looked down and smiled before looking at the man running the booth and telling him, "That one."

He knew if he looked at the ring he would second-guess himself, which would make him rethink what he was going to do tonight. As he quickly snapped out he felt the box being taken out of his hand, he looked up to see Penhall looking from the Harry to the box in his palm, "For me? Iokage you shouldn't have." Harry moved to grab the ring from Doug, but he held it over his head and smiled mischievously " So, popping the question Iokage?" As Harry continued to reach over Doug's head before pulling back and glaring at him, "So what if I am?" he said defensively. Doug studied Harry's face for a moment before stepping towards him, " You having second thoughts?" he asked gently. Harry ran his hand through his hair in frustration; " Maybe, no, I don't know!" He said before quieting down and looking towards the house, Doug looked at him; "She's not here yet, don't worry and Ioki," He put the box back in Harry's hand before turning towards the house; " When the time is right, you'll know it." He said thoughtfully before grabbing Harry's jacket and pulling him towards the house and into the party.

An hour past and the party was going strong, but Crystal still hadn't arrived. Harry stood by the window hoping he would see her, when he felt hands on his shoulders. He turned to see Captain Fuller and Ms. Hanson smiling sadly at him; "She'll be here soon I'm sure of it." Fuller said reassuringly when all of a sudden they heard a light knock on the front door they listened as the door opened and they heard heated whispers as they turned the corner. They saw Crystal standing in the hallway with a large bag and Doug quickly running out the door before Harry could say anything he quickly took in what she was wearing, she had on a deep red dress with a wide black ribbon under the slight low cut ruffled bust. He strolled up and looked at her. She smiled sheepishly, "Merry Christmas!" she said happily, she quickly quieted when Harry wordlessly took the bag, handed it to Fuller and pulled her to a corner; " Where have you been? I was worried," he said. She was about to answer before he started up again, "To be honest Crystal, these past few weeks I've been worried. You're constantly on the phone, dodging questions, you're tired all the time, and you've been biting everyone's heads off, so please, please tell me what is going on." He said as everyone stopped and stared at the two, he looked at Crystal as her face slowly developed a stony expression. She took a deep breath; " Close your eyes." She said curtly. Harry took a step back "What?" gritting her teeth, she said; "You want to know what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks, then close your eyes." Not wanting to anger her further, Harry quickly closed his eyes. All he could hear were slight murmurs that immediately dissipated, then footsteps followed by a closing door. He stood there waiting until he heard an old familiar voice. His eyes quickly snapped open and he turned around in shock, "bà ngoại ?*"

The moment Harry closed his eyes, Crystal quickly ushered his grandmother in from the back to the living room and then turned around and headed to the backyard, a tired feeling washing over her. She clumsily sat down on the deck, trying to fight off a wave of nausea, she quickly failed and turned to the nearest bush and heaved. She cried as she felt the contents spill behind the bush, she felt someone grab her hair. Her hand moved to wipe her mouth before turning to see Penhall holding her hair, she gave him a tight smile as she straightened out her dress. He looked at her, "You ok Crys? " he asked worriedly, before she could respond he had darted into the house, she was about to chase after him he reappeared holding a glass of water and some sort of bottle. He handed her what Crystal realized was mouthwash, she shot him a grateful look as she gargled the awful taste out of her mouth and gave it back to Doug before taking the water and sitting down.

"Did Harry send you out here?" she asked quietly. Doug went to sit next to her; "Actually he wanted to come out, but I told him to spend some time with his grandma and that I'd go instead." He said softly there was a slight pause before he spoke again; "Y'know I'm pretty sure you just kicked our asses in the gift giving department." She laughed at this and Doug smiled, "Seriously though how'd you swing that?" he said curiously. She looked at him and sighed; "Lots and lots of phone calls my friend." Knowing that was all he was going to get out of her, he simply nodded. They sat outside for a few more minutes before Doug stood up, taking Crystal with him; "We should probably go back inside." He said quietly. She nodded and quietly followed him into the house, the party was loud and everyone was having a good time.

Everyone was sitting around Harry and his grandma, but it was silent when Doug and Crystal walked back in. Harry quickly stood up and walked up to her, before she could say anything he grabbed her and crashed his lips onto hers. She thanked God that Doug gave her mouthwash outside, as he sucked on her lower lip as she ran her fingers through his hair. He pulled away and leaned down to her ear; "Thank you, so much." He whispered as he lead her towards the couch, she tentively sat next him as his grandma looked at her; "Hello Mrs. Van Tran." She said quietly to the elderly woman. She smiled and gently patted the young woman's hand; "You can call me bà ngoại dear." She chortled at Crystal's blank expression and patted her hand again; "Call me grandma." She said gently and with that Crystal smiled and they began chatting, Harry simply smiling between the pair. A few minutes later Mrs. Hanson called everyone in for dinner, as everyone headed towards the dining room Harry felt a tug on his jacket. He turned around to she his grandmother staring at him, she beckoned for him to come closer as he did she whispered; " If you don't marry that girl, you are a foolish boy." She said before smiling and headed towards the dining room.

The party was an overall success and soon everyone was on their way home. Harry helped his grandmother up the stairs to the apartment, they went in and almost immediately his grandmother fell asleep in the other room. Harry with a smile headed back into his room to see Crystal changing out of her dress, he watched with interest as she searched through drawers in her underwear. Suddenly she turned around and smiled at him; "Are you going to stand there all night?" she said teasingly with hands on her hips, he smiled and strolled into the bedroom. She turned back around looking through the drawers when he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. He kissed her neck, slowly making his way down her back. She turned so that she was facing him, she slowly undid his tie as Harry unbuttoned his shirt both were dropped to the floor as she kissed his neck. He picked her up, kissing her intensely as she undid his belt he threw his pants across the room. They lay on the bed, she moved down his body, her lips ghosting down his chest, till he flipped her over. She quietly gasped as she looked up at him, he smiled at her before kissing her sweetly while massaging her clit. She moaned loudly as he slid into her, they moved in time with each other. As he poured himself into her, they collapsed next to each other and smiled at each other. She kissed him sweetly; "I love you." She said softly before turning away. Within minutes she was asleep, curled up against him, he smiled down at her as he swept some hair away from her face; "I love you too." He said softly as he looked over where a special little black box was hidden.

The week before Christmas flew by quickly, most of it was spent showing Harry's grandmother, Mai around the city and in Harry's case when he wasn't with his grandmother or Crystal he was trying to find presents for everyone. Christmas Day soon came around and Harry woke up to something delicious smelling. He wandered out to see Crystal and his grandmother making breakfast, he smiled at the sight and wandered into the kitchen. He kissed Crystal on the cheek and then kissed his grandmother on the forehead; "Well this is a nice picture. "he teased as Crystal rolled her eyes. They quickly ate breakfast before settling in the living room for presents. Mai , was very happy with her scarf from Crystal and the photo album Harry had made. Harry loved the new jacket from Crystal and the sweater from grandma and Crystal was pleased with the book that grandma had given her, but Harry's gift surprised her. As she pulled back the wrapping she looked at him curiously before opening the box, inside was a locket, it was a simple heart shape with an intricate pattern on it. She looked at him; "It's beautiful." She said, Harry smiled as she held her hair back; "Will you put it on me?" she asked, Harry quickly clasped it on and sweetly kissed her neck, she turned around and smiled; "Thank you." He leaned in and kissed her softly; "Thank you, for giving me the best Christmas ever."

Soon January came and sadly Mai had to go back to Vietnam. It was an emotional goodbye as she promised to come visit her favorite grandkids, which also meant everyone was back at work. Unlike the past few years where trouble usually started immediately after the holiday, it was quiet. Adam Fuller hated when it was quiet, when it was quiet that meant shit was about to hit the fan. At that same moment a knock was heard on the door; "Come in." he said as his door creaked open as he turned around to see a woman standing in front of him; "Captain Fuller, I'm here for some help from one of your officers."

Crystal sat at her desk, willing the nausea she had been feeling for the past three weeks to go away as she was working on some paperwork. She looked over at Harry, who was staring down at something in his desk Harry looked over at her then back at the ring in his pocket, he had been putting it off for weeks now losing, his nerve every time he thought about it. He headed towards her desk; he pulled up a chair as she turned to him and lightly kissed him on cheek; "Hey." she said tiredly as she moved to get some paperwork. Before she could though, Harry stopped her she looked at him puzzled "Is everything ok?" she asked seeing the pensive look on his face. Before he could say anything, a loud shriek was heard and Crystal shot up from her seat wavering slightly. Harry looked around cursing under his breath as they watched Crystal tightly hug a tall blonde woman. Suddenly she pulled away and heaved into the nearest trashcan, the blonde immediately moved around to hold her hair back as Harry and the others rushed towards her.

"Geez Crys have you been hitting the tequila again?" The blonde teased before her expression turned to one of concern. Crystal heaved one last time before glaring at her; "Last I checked that was always your MO Jeanne, well that and having me chasing various guys out of our room." She said teasingly.

The others exchanged confused glances as Crystal as she wiped her mouth; " Guys this is Jeanne, my old partner, roommate and friend. I have no idea why she's here though." She said glancing at the blonde questioningly. Jeanne looked at her sheepishly, "Well…I need your help on a case." Crystal looked at her in disbelief, "That's all? Of course all help!" She said. Jeanne tentatively handed her the file and watched, as she turned pale, she looked up at Jeanne in rage. Jeanne slowly backed away, "Now Crystal, before you get mad-" she started before Crystal retched in the trashcan again.

It was silent again before Crystal's head came out of the trash, "I'll do it," she whispered hoarsely "But for it to really work we need to get some stuff." She stood up shakily, Harry holding her up; "Crys, you've been sick you don't need to do this-" Crystal cut him off, "Actually this time Harry I really need to, but I promise that tomorrow I'll go to the doctor because this is getting ridiculous." She said weakly. Harry only nodded in agreement as she walked towards Jeanne and the two of them walking out of the chapel. He sighed and turned to see Doug and the others crowding around the file before he could tell them to put it down Doug wordlessly handed it to him and he looked down at it. It was a murder investigation, but what caught Ioki's attention was the photo of the accomplice they had picked up. She looked sick, with hollowed cheekbones and matted brown hair, what he noticed most of all though were the eyes. The same eyes that he had been looking into only a moment ago, finally he looked down at the name of the suspect.

Her name was Dorothy Watson.
