Kwest placed a bottle of Vodka in front of the cash register. "We're gone need this," Kwest said with certainty.

Tommy laughed as he handed the bottle to the cashier. He grabbed the money Sadie had given them for the supplies from hi jacket pocket. He paid for their things and picked up one bag, leaving the other for Kwest.

As they started back towards the car, Tommy noticed the look of deep thought on Kwest's face. He knew that Kwest must still be thinking about the plan. "Okay, what is it?" Tommy questioned.

"What's what?" Kwest asked back as he unlocked the car and opened his door.

They both climbed into the Mustang and took their seats. Kwest quickly started the car, but refrained from moving it while he sighed. He took a short glance at Tommy, but it was long enough for Tommy to catch the judgmental glare in Kwest's eye.

Watching Kwest reverse out of the parking space and start back on the street, Tommy rubbed his forehead. He finally spoke, "You hate the plan, don't you? You think it won't work."

Kwest shook his head as he slowly pulled up and stopped at an intersection. "It's not that I don't think it'll work," Kwest replied.

With his forehead scrunched in confusion, Tommy gave Kwest a strange look. He asked, "Then what's got you acting all weird, man?"

Kwest turned back into Jude's neighborhood and watched carefully for any signs of a good parking space. "I just…" he started with a touch of distraction.

Feeling a little more than impatient when it comes to getting the love of his life, Tommy huffed and shook his head. He reached across Kwest and nudged the steering wheel slightly. "Just park, Kwest. We can walk… And then you can answer my question."

"Alright, man," Kwest commented. He could tell Tommy meant business and pulled up against an open spot along the sidewalk. They were over three blocks away from the Harrison home, but it would give them a chance to talk, which they both knew needed to be done.

Tommy grabbed his bag from the car and slammed his door shut. As he waited for Kwest to do the same, he questioned, "Is it because I dragged Sadie into this? You're mad because you can't make your move..?"

Kwest shook his head and snickered as he locked his car and they started walking. "No. And for the record, I'm not mad. I'm more…" Kwest hesitated to finish his statement, but his friend needed to know the truth. "Disappointed… In you."

The words his Tommy and they stung. "Disappointed?"

Pressing his lips together, Kwest watched his feet as he nodded shyly. "I mean, since when did Tom Quincy ever punk out like this?"

Shrugging slightly, Tommy shook his head in frustration. "What are you talking about? How am I punking out?"

Taking a deep breath, Kwest replied, "I don't know… I just don't know what happened to you." He looked up and saw the hurt in Tommy's eyes. He tried to clarify, "I mean, since when did true love need a plan?"

Tommy looked over at Kwest with shock. He'd only heard Jude referred to as his true love one other time, and it was a tabloid trying to feel the rumor mill. But this time, it actually felt real to him. He didn't feel like he was being tricked by his own heart, or being forced into something by the people around him. It just felt right. "You really think she's my true love?" he asked Kwest with a faint smile on his face.

"Of course, man!" Kwest exclaimed in an anxious manner. He shrugged and continued, "It's the kind of love that gives the rest of us hope… And I just guess that's why needing a plan sucks."

They kept walking in silence until they turned the corner and the Harrison home was in view. Tommy suddenly stopped Kwest with a hand to his chest. "So, abort plan 'Get Jude'?" he questioned nervously.

Kwest chuckled and shook his head. "Look, it's not up to me. I mean, a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do." He paused for a moment and took a deep breath, contemplating the idea. "But remember, what it comes down to is the love you guys have for each other. Tricks, games, and stunts be damned."

Tommy nodded with his lips pressed together. Kwest was always the wisest friend he had, but the most confusing at the same time. It always seemed like neither of them were able to give each other straight answers. But whatever they were doing, it seemed to work. Both were successful gentlemen and happy with that life… For the most part.

Only a few feet away, Kwest stopped Tommy in the same sudden fashion. "I'd just rethink the name, 'Get Jude'… You think 007 would be that obvious on a mission?"

Shaking his head, Tommy chuckled softly. They continued walking, and Tommy put a hand on Kwest's shoulder to ask, "What do you suggest then?"

"I don't know," Kwest started. "You should try something more masculine… Like, 'Destroying the Guitarist' or more coded and call it 'Mission 24'!"

Tommy continued shaking his head and laughing all the way into the house. The house still seemed to be crowded with friendly faces, but it seemed to have died down some. The others were still sprawled out on the couch, including Sadie snuggled in Jamie's arms. But the only person that really mattered to Tommy was missing.
