DISCLAIMER

Okay, if I owned them instead of Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney, would it be necessary for us to write our own stories about Tommy and Kimberly getting back together? No. Because we never would've broken them up in the first place. And to all TommyKat fans, that's your right. I have nothing against the couple, TommyKimberly is just my preference. And I know some things seem rushed, but give me a break. I did this chapter at 11: 43 at night.

Jason struggled against the bonds that held him. He had heard every word his father had said to his mother and he'd be danged if he was gonna let this jerk use him this way.

"This won't work. They'll never give you the money!" he shouted. Then, he winced. Contrary to what he had told his mother, the teen was actually in a fair amount of pain. His biological father had been periodically beating him. The man whirled around and jammed his hand around the boy's throat.

"You shut up!" he roared.

"Drop…dead," Jason croaked.

"Just remember one thing, boy: I can finish you off any time I choose," Gary hissed. Instead of numbing him like the words usually did, Jason renewed his struggle. Meanwhile, the officers, who had been able to trace the man's call, had set up a plan of action. Now, they were on their way to the apartment building they had found in Gary's name. Once they had the address, they hurried off their destination. Back at the apartment, Jason had finally managed to break free of the chains holding him. He wasn't quite sure how he had done it, but he decided it didn't matter. He lunged at his father.

"No more! You don't own me anymore! It ends now!" he cried. They began to fight. Minutes later, Jason was thrown to the floor and pinned there. Gary reared back a hand. No! Jason's mind screamed. He raised an arm to protect himself. Then, the door burst open!

"Freeze! Police!" a voice shouted.

"Oh, thank God," Jason sighed in relief. One of the officers walked up to Gary and made him put his hands behind his back.

"You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…" Jason watched as the man who had caused him so much pain was led away.

"Come on, kid. We've got some people who want to see you," an officer stated. With that, they left. When they got to his house, Jason broke into a run.

"Mom! Dad!" he shouted.

"Jason! Honey!" Becky cried in relief as the boy enveloped his mother with a hug.

"Jase! You're okay!" Trini exclaimed in the same tone. Mrs. Scott pulled back slightly to stare at her offspring.

"Oh, honey," she breathed, seeing the cuts and bruises. "What did he do to you?" she asked.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm okay," Jason assured.

"Are you sure, son?" Mike questioned.

"I'm okay. Honest," Jason responded. The family hugged each other and stayed that way for some time.
