Chapter 11 - Officer Harvey
Jack woke up the next day and was greated with Will looking over him.
"What the hell do you want?"
His friend seemed to notice he was awake and started to run around the room. "I have no idea what is happening. Harvey was here looking for Elizabeth, I told him that she was out, then he asked when she would be back, then I told him I don't know what do I look like an information booth then he said watch it smart ass then I said..."
"Will, Will, knock it off. I don't need a play by play, I need a short summary."
"Harvey was looking for Elizabeth."
Jack sat up and scratched his head. Today was going to be a bad day, he could feel it. "I have no idea what the hell that little prick wants but he had better leave her alone at school." He said and got out of bed.
"Not Mike. His dad."
Jack snorted and pulled on his shirt so he could get to school without being to late. "Well it's her birthday today, she's eighteen."
"I know, that's what Ana said. Still there's something that Harvey wants to bust you for."
"What doesn't he want to bust me for? Look, let's just go to school. After that I'm going to take some money out to buy Elizabeth something." He said nonchalantly and Will gave him a look.
"You really like her?"
Before Jack could answer there was a knock at the door followed by a sucession of loud knocks. "What the hell?"
Will went to the door and opened it a little before Elizabeth came running in. She saw Jack and flew her arms around his neck. "Oh Jack I'm so happy you're here."
Jack looked to Will and his friend nodded before locking the door and getting on the phone with Brett. Jack took Elizabeth into his room and sat her on the bed. "What's the matter darling?"
"Someone was following me today."
"When?"
"On my way to school. I've never seen him before."
Jack gave her one of his dirty shirts from off the floor so she could blow her nose. "Are you sure he was following you?"
She nodded and wiped her eyes. "Yes, I sped up when I got close to your apartment, he started running after me."
"You didn't walk all the way here did you?" He asked, now rubbing soothing circles on her back.
"No. I took a cab most of the way but it was just so nice out I wanted to walk."
Elizabeth looked up at him when he stopped rubbing her back. "Look about yesterday. I'm sorry if I came off as cold and uncaring. I'm just so lost here, I don't know what to do."
Jack smiled. "I know what you mean, it took me a while too, but don't worry you'll like it here eventually."
"You make it a lot more bareable." She said and leaned toward him, her lips parted.
Jack put a hand on her face and leaned in to kiss her when Will came in. "He's here." He said and stood at the door. Jack lowered his head and sighed, Elizabeth moved away from him.
"Which one?"
"Officer."
The two boys walked out of the bedroom to see Officer Harvey standing in the living room. "Well Jack, I need to take you in, best not put up much of a fight."
"What are the charges?" He asked, clasping his hands behind his back. Brett had come through the door right after Harvey and went into the bedroom to talk to Elizabeth.
"Statutory rape and cocaine abuse." He said and pulled out a baggie of cocaine with a sticker labled 'evidence A'.
"One, I didn't rape anyone. Two, I don't do that shit and a drug test and doctors examination will proove that. You planted evidence." Jack said, not worrying about it.
"I have a witness."
By this time both Brett and Elizabeth had come out of the room and was looking at Jack and Harvey.
"Oh yeah? Who?"
"Merideth Shieber. Maybe you've heard of her? Ah, Miss Swann how is your birthday going?"
Elizabeth walked up to Jack and put her arms around him. "Before you got here a lot better." She said and Jack put his arm around her shoulder.
"I'm very sorry but I have to take your boyfriend in."
Elizabeth nodded and put on her best puppy dog face. "Can I have a minute with him please?"
Jack could see the man's cocky smile fade a little. "I'll give you ten minutes."
Elizabeth smiled and pulled Jack after her and into the bedroom. "Jack what are you going to do?" She asked hugging his neck.
"Don't worry sweetheart, they can't hold me long, and before you know it I'll be out, most likely tonight." He said, his voice dropping and he kissed her.
When they parted she smiled and he asked, "Are you my girl now, or do you just want to be fuck buddies?"
She hit his chest. "Don't talk to me like that, you know I'm your girl. I have been since yesterday."
He rubbed his cheek on hers and kissed her ear. "I thought you said having sex didn't mean you liked me or anything. I was all ready to move on before you came this morning. I did all my crying last night over you."
She smiled and laughed a little. "You're such a liar. I'll be here when you get back tonight. And since your my boyfriend now, I'm expecting a nice present."
Jack smiled at her suductively and kissed her neck. "Don't worry about that."
Elizabeth giggled and there was a knock at the door. "Sparrow, get your pants back on and get out here."
The two rolled their eyes and kissed again before he left to go down to the station with Harvey.
