Disclaimer- It would be nice if I owned Full House and it's characters, but unfortunatly, I don't. But I do own Detective Tyler and Tom Kent (you'll find out who he is during this chapter).

Chapter 5: Part of Her Past

A/N: Just so you know, the rest of this story will be in Jesse's point of view unless otherwise posted. Hope you enjoy this chapter, and don't forget to review!


"You think you know him?" I asked Becky, totally shocked.

"Yeah. He was my fiancee for about two days. His name was Tom Kent. He was a big jerk, who was obsessed with Superman, but only because his last name was the same as his. Kent," she said, "We broke up because he got mad at me and accused me of thinking he was crazy for being obsessed with Superman. I don't deny it. I swear, he thought he was Superman."

"Yeah, all he needed to do is change his first name to Clark, and change your name to Lois Lane," Danny joked. I didn't want to laugh. I wasn't in a laughing mood. Becky didn't laugh either. I don't care. I was just scared at the possibility of having a mental ex-boyfriend of Becky's who thought he was Superman hanging out out there. Yeah, that was just what I needed.

"Should we call Detective Tyler and tell him you might possibly know the shooter?" I asked.

"Probably, yeah," said Becky. "You do it, Jess. But wait, what was the tatoo on his arm?"

"Oh my-" I started to say, but Danny interrupted me.

"It was the Superman 'S!'" said Danny.

"Oh, my god, it's him!" Becky screamed. "He got that s when we first started going our senior year. Call Detective Tyler."

I picked up the phone and dialed his cell. It rang a lot before he finally answered. "Jesse, is that you?" he asked.

"Yeah. Listen, we think Becky know this guy. His-" Detective Tyler cut me off.

"Wait, she knows this guy? The shooter?" he asked.

"Yeah. His name is-" Once again, I got cut off by Detective Tyler.

"Tom Kent, is how he was identified," he said.

"That's the one," I said. "According to Becky, he's a complete Superman-freak."

"Yeah, I kinda got that when I saw the Superman S tatooed to his hand," Detective Tyler said with a slight chuckle. "Well, anyway, what relation did Becky have with Kent?"

"They dated," I said, with a sigh. "He dumped her because he thought she thought he was crazy for practically being in love with Superman." When I said "he dumped her," Becky gave me a weak slap on the lap and said, "I dumped him, thank you very much."

"Make that she dumped him," I said into the phone.

"Maybe it would be better if I talked to Becky," said Tyler.

I put my hand over the receiver. "Becky, Detective Tyler wants to talk to you."

Becky took the phone and talked for awhile. When she hung up, she explained dumping Kent.

"You see," she said, "I broke up with him because I felt like we were moving too fast, especially after he proposed. Speaking of which, I lied. We were never engaged. I dumped him when he proposed."

"Lemme guess," said Danny. "He took it the wrong way and thought it was because of that whole Superman thing and got mad at you."

"That's exactly right," said Becky. "But anyway, according to Detective Tyler, my knowing the suspect complicates the case. Of course, I don't see how Tom could have possibly known I would be at that gas station at the time he decided to rob it."

"Yeah, you're right, so what difference does it make?" I asked.

"I don't know," said Becky.


The next morning, while Michelle was still at Denise's, we were all in the kitchen, eating, except for Becky who wasstill asleep. We had stayed up really late last night, and since she was stillrecovering, it really took a lot out of her.

"Hey Jess," said Danny, "when Becky wakes up I need to talk to you guys."

"Okay," I said, not knowing what to expect.

So later, after Beckywoke up,she, Danny, and I were talking in our room.

"Jesse," he said, "do you remember whenwe were in the waiting roomwaiting to see Becky, and I saidI felt guiltyfor this whole thing because I told him to not shoot me after he was pointing the gun at me?"

"Come again?"said Becky. "He pointed the gun at you first?"

"Yep,"said Danny. "Then I told him not to shoot me, and then he pointed the gun at you, and before I could protest, he shot you. So I felt guilty about that."

"Wow," said Becky. "How come you never told me that?"

"I didn't think it was important, until last night. Then,after it sunk in that you know him, I figured, maybe it's notmy fault. He probably had his gun pointed at me, saw you, recognized you, and then shot you. Maybe he was going to shoot you even if I hadn't said anything. Maybe my timing for that line was just a coincidence. Who knows?"

"Wow, Danny," I said. "Maybe you have somethinghere."

"Well this might complicate the case,"said Becky.

Who knows,I thought. I guess this Tom Kent dude is just a part of her past that I will never understand.
