Chapter 5 Angel with a Past

Jessie walks into a youth center. A young boy runs to her. Boy "Jessie, Jessie! We missed you." Jessie "I missed you too Bobby. It has been long hasn't it? Look how big you've gotten." She tickles him. A man comes from the backroom. Man "You've grown too haven't you Jessie?" Jessie shocked to see the man. Jessie "Well I guess I have, Mitchell." Mitchell "Bobby go and play while the adults talk". Bobby "See ya Jessie!" Jessie "Bye!" Jessie follows Bobby into the back. Bobby "So we haven't seen you around here lately." Jessie "Well, my job takes a lot of time." Mitchell "So I have heard. You 'cops' aren't the only ones who have snitches. A good friend told me what you've been doing with those two little girlfriends of yours." Jessie "Busted?" Mitchell "What is the matter Jessie, you get a job and some money and forget where the hell you came from." Jessie "I haven't forgotten anything Mitchell. That is why I still come here, to keep myself grounded. I fight out there every day so those kids can live in a safe world." Mitchell pulls a file out of his desk. He opens it, and pictures of the Angels are in it. Mitchell "Yeah right, like your friends in the Townsend Detective Agency are busting their butts to fight for the 'low lives'". Jessie "First of all my friends aren't like that. And second of all, what right do you have to send spies after me." Mitchell "Ah, these girls are your friends now. That's a laugh. Once upon a time you would be stealing from their cars. And my right to spy on you comes from being your husband." Jessie "You are not my husband any more Mitchell, it's been two years. And I realize that I have a past, but they accept me for it." Mitchell "Do you really expect me to believe that you told them." Jessie "Charlie knows." Mitchell "Who the hell is Charlie any way." Jessie "Well we're not exactly sure about him on a personal level, except that he is some type of player. He's an anonymous millionaire and chose Madison, Brooke and I to be private eyes at the agency." Mitchell "Damn girl. They really have you guys, I mean girls, on 7th heaven. While your living in your dream world, what about the rest of us. We don't have the opportunity to work with millionaires." Jessie "So your angry at me because I'm going somewhere?" Mitchell "Jessie, I could be going somewhere too, but I have a responsibility to this youth center. And you use to." Jessie "I still do. I send as much money as possible. And I come whenever I find time between crime fighting." They hold a stare. Her cell phone rings. He looks at her funny. She answers. Jessie "Hey it's Jess... Okay I'll be in, in about 15 minutes Bos." She turns off the phone and prepares to leave. Jessie "I have to go now Mitchell." She starts to exit, but Mitchell stops her. Mitchell "Jessie, just promise me that you'll be careful, and never forget your still Jessica Preston from this part of town." Jessie "I won't." Mitchel "You know I still care about, right" Jessie "yeah and I promise". She exits.
