A/N: this jumps back into the future a little bit once again and a bit stuck on some more chapters

Thanks to Ealasaid Una for giving me this idea for a chapter

Chapter 37: never mess with Jules

Jules was on her morning run one Saturday before she was to meet up with her friends for some fun but after she stopped off to get a latte she had noticed a small group of teenage boys standing around the basketball game that was in the park. The teens had been watching her every morning on her runs and stopped in front of her, "Hm nice form you have there."

what the tell now? She rolled her eyes at them, "Thanks for the compliment but excuse me," she said not hiding the sarcasm.

Three of them surrounded her all grinning, "Think would love to see what's under all that little but loose clothes you're wearing."

She tried to get away but they stopped her by putting an arm in front and back of her, "Think you need to let me pass or going to remove your arm from your body," she hissed at him and cursed something under her breath. "Going to move or what?"

The tallest man moved to stand in front of her and he reached over and ran a hand down the back of her shirt so his hand landed on her ass am going to kill him. She counted to one in her head before grabbing his hand and using a move that Sam and Ed had been working to teach her flipped him over her shoulder. Two of his friends tried to come to his rescue but she did the same thing to them too while the other two held up their hands in defense letting her get out of there without saying anything else. She was glad didn't live far and once she got home she took an extra long shower and when she slipped on pair of jeans and t-shirt her phone was ringing, "Hey Sam."

He could tell something seemed to be wrong, "Wondering if still coming over for the barbeque?"

She shook off the bad feeling from what they had tried, "Yeah, just getting out of the shower so should be there in a little bit," she told him and took some Aspirin for the dual ache that was forming in her shoulder and didn't take long to get to the Scarlatti home where she found them in the backyard. "Starting this without me once again?"

Ed and Sam didn't miss her wincing as gave her a hug, "What happened to you?" she shrugged holding her breath at the pain that the motion caused her but hoped that none of them had noticed but could tell that Sam didn't miss a thing. "I know something happened so spill."

She rolled her eyes at him, "Have no idea what talking about."

After a few hours the group had been having fun and most of them didn't miss how Jules seemed to be in a lot of pain from something. Sam grabbed some aspirin from Spike and pulled his girl friend off to the side so he was leaning against the fence and made her take the pills, "Spill it Callaghan."

She raised an eyebrow, "Sammy, have no idea what you're talking about I am perfectly fine just a little pain from my run."

"Jules I know when you're lying and that's now so tell me what happened and make it better."

She rubbed her shoulder and he pushed her hand away and do it but she was silent for a few minutes thinking over a way to make it so her friends don't go out and want to kill them but she ran a hand down her face and sighed, "Thomas and his goons tried to get to friendly with me this morning."

His anger was flaring at that, "What the hell he even try? Why didn't you call one of us?"

She ran a hand down his arm, "Sammy, I am fine and may have kicked their ass making them think twice before try it again."

He listened as she told him what happen, "Nice to see your lessons are paying off."

Spike walked over, "She trying some of those moves on someone other than me for once?"

Sam told them all what happen and she said what she did, "Good job," Wordy and Spike told her.

Ed and Greg give her a small hug, "Good work kicking their asses."

She rolled her eyes at her friends, "Just don't kill them already did that and sure they will be feeling it for days."
