Hey sorry it took awhile but not only have I not had the time I
haven't had the inspiration. Hopefully you'll like this. One small comment
I know the little sister on the show Tarzan was mentioned to go to college
so for the sake of argument lets say it was NYU. Cause the name of which
school was never mentioned.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything so don't bug me.

Chapter 2: A New Day Take 2! (Part one)
As Tru bolted upright in bed she realized that this morning was not the start of a new day for her, but the start of yesterday.
She quickly shut off the alarm clock as her cell phone started to ring.
She answered it knowing that that her friend Lindsay looking to set up lunch plans.
"Hey girl how you doing?" asked her friend.
"I'm doing ok, but I'm totally swamped with errands I've put off for too long." Answered Tru.
"So, I guess that means your not free for lunch today?" her friend asked.
"Nope afraid not." said Tru. "Ok. Another time then." Said her friend.
"Yeah guess so." Said tru.
With that they exchanged good-byes and hung up.
Tru hated to have to lie to her friends like that but her gift didn't leave her much choice.
With that she quickly started to dial Davis's number at the morgue.
After about the third ring someone picked up and said, "Hello you reached the morgue. How can I help you?"
"Davis, it's me Tru I need to talk to you."
"Another special days Tru?" asked her co-worker.
"Yeah, I need you to find out some information on a NYU student." Said Tru in an urgent tone.
"Ok, does the person your trying to help have a name?" Asked Davis.
"Yeah, um..." The flashback of the day before started to play in her mind like a video and she saw and heard Davis telling her the girl's name. "Her name is Nicki Porter." Said Tru.
"Ok. Well I'll see what information I can gather and call you back as soon as possible." Said Davis.
"Thanks." Said Tru.
With that she ended the call and hung up the phone.
She quickly got dressed and grabbed her phone and purse and headed out the door.
As She reached the sidewalk outside her building she fished her cell phone out of her pocket and called her brother.
After like the 5th ring he finally answered. "Hello?"
"Harrison, It's me Tru. Where are you right now?"
"I'm at the dinner. I just sat down." answered her brother a little confused.
"O! Wait is it like one of those rewind days?" Her brother asked sounding inquisitively.
"Yeah, It's one of those days. Look I'm not going to be able to make breakfast, but I need your help." Said Tru.
"Name it Sis."
"Ok, tell me do you see a woman with about little bit longer than shoulder length red hair sitting in the dinner?" Tru asked.
"Yeah, she sitting towards the back of the dinner. What about her?" Asked Harrison.
"Well I want you to keep track of her today." Said Tru.
"You mean follow her?" asked her brother.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I mean." Answered Tru.
"No problem Sis." Said Harrison
"Just be careful about it Harrison. The Woman is a cop, and the last thing either one of us needs is for you to get arrested. For 2 reasons, a) your of no help to me if you end up stuck in jail. And b) I don't know if I currently have the funds for bail money." Stated Tru.
"I totally understand Tru, I'll be completely stealth about it!" commented her brother.
"Ok. Give me a heads up if anything happens." Said Tru.
With that the call was over as she made her way on to the NYU campus looking for the girl that asked her for help.
After about 2 hours of looking around she spotted a girl heading out of one of the buildings as some classes were letting out. She hurried to catch up to the girl.
She saw her heading toward a short staircase and noticed that there was a rollerblader heading to the same staircase that wasn't watching where he was going.
She could tell that if she didn't do something the 2 were going to crash. As She started to jog over to where she saw the girl She shouted, 'Look out!" The girl stopped and started to look around to see who had say that when she saw the guy on the rollerblades whiz right passed her with less then half a foot of space clearance.
Shortly afterwards Tru caught up to the girl.
"O! Good you heard me," said Tru.
"Yeah, I did. Thanks. You saved me from a nasty accident there." The girl said.
"No problem." Said Tru.
"Your Nicki Porter right?" Tru asked.
"Yeah, do I know you?" asked the girl in a confused tone of voice.
"How do you know my name?" the girl asked.
"Well let me introduce myself I'm Tru Davies. I'm a journalism major here at school. My teacher assigned this writing assignment to write about the day in the life of another student here at school. So the teacher had his computer randomly select students from the student registry and when my turn came up it pick you."
"O! Ok, so dose that mean you want to interview me or something?" Nicki asked.
"Yeah, but mostly I just have to tag along and observe your daily routine. That is if it's ok with you?" after a few minutes of thought the girl said "It's ok I guess. When would this start?"
"Well since I have to have it in by Friday if I could start today it would be a big help." Said Tru.
"I guess this is a good of a time as any I guess." Said the girl.
And with that both the girl and Tru headed down the staircase to the girl's next destination.
*******************
As soon as Harrison ended telephone conversation with his Sister Tru he began his surveillance of the red head at the back of the dinner.
Holding his morning newspaper in one hand to make it look like he was reading it he just watched as he sipped his cup of coffee.
After about 90 minutes he saw the woman and her companion get up from their booth and start to head towards the door.
As they passed by Harrison's table he heard her say to the guy with her, " I got this one Sam. You got the last one."
As soon as they left the dinner Harrison quickly paid his tab and left to follow the 2.
After tracking the woman all over town for the last 3 and a half hours he was starting to get tired, but was trying his hardest to remain inconspicuous the whole time.
The private eye stuff was starting to get really old.
"The things I do for my sister! Man, is she going to own m for this." Harrison said to himself.
******************
"Is that guy still following us?" Jane asked her partner Sam.
He made a quick glance over his shoulder and then said "Yeah, and he still got that ragged newspaper." Answered Sam.
"What in the heck do think he is doing? I mean does he not think were not going to recognize the same guy in a tan leather jacket reading a newspaper with a coffee stain on it, when he pops all over the city." She asked her partner.
"Yeah, that and the fact that the paper has been upside down for the last hour." Said Sam.
"You're kidding," she asked as she quickly glanced back and started to laugh slightly.
"No I'm not," he said as he started to smirk.
"I never seen him before today have you have you?" he asked Jane.
"No, I haven't either. Do you think he harmless?" she Asked Sam.
"Well whether he is or not isn't really the main concern at the moment." He said.
"It's not?" she asked puzzled.
"No, the main concern is that if your boy around and discovers this guy following us around we're going to have to worry about this guy safety." Said Sam.
As the realization of Sam's word's sunk in, she paled considerably.
A feeling of dread quickly spread over her as she realized how quickly this could turn into a problem.
"Your right Sam this could get problematic rather quickly."
"Quicker than you might think!" said Sam as he glanced up at the rooftops around them.
"What do you mean?" she asked Sam.
"Take a look about 2 rooftops back. If I'm not mistaken I think I might have just saw your boy heading in the opposite direction." Said Sam.
*******************
As Harrison stood on the corner about a block away holding is paper, he saw that the pair he was following were starting to look up.
"What the heck are they looking at?" He asked him self as he started looking straight up.
He stepped a few steps away from the wall building to get a better look but saw nothing.
No planes, traffic helicopters, or even the slightest hint of a cloud in the sky.
It was completely clear blue sky.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
He looked down at his paper and after turning it right side up tried to find the weather report.
As he backed up to get out of the flow of pedestrian traffic and leaned against the corner of the building to read his paper he didn't see the 2 he had been following all morning starting to head in his direction in a rather fast pace.
Harrison also didn't see the figure approach and emerge out of the alley on his immediate left until the figured grabbed tightly onto his arm and collar.
In the shock of being grabbed and dragged into the alley Harrison dropped his newspaper.
Then He was suddenly raised off he feet and slammed against the wall.
Harrison's head hit the wall so hard that he saw stars in front of his eyes.
As soon as his eyes focused he saw a very strong and very angry shoulder length blond haired guy staring at him with one of the dirtiest looks he ever seen in his life!
Suddenly he heard the guy shout at him "Why are you following Jane?"
"Who?" Asked a Terrified Harrison.
After a few very tension filled seconds Harrison say the red haired woman and her partner run into the alley.
"Let him go john!" He heard the red haired woman say to the blond guy.
The blond guy looked at the woman very intensely then Dropped Harrison.
Harrison was still in a combined state of shock and fear that when he was dropped his legs didn't hold him and crumpled to the ground.
The woman walked up to the blond guy's side and asked Harrison a question but he didn't hear it as her partner was helping him to his feet.
"Repeat that please? Asked Harrison.
"I said, who are you? And why have you been following me and my partner around all morning?" said Jane.
"My name Is Harrison Davies. And I was following you cause my sister asked me to." Harrison said in a still scared tone of voice.
