Charles tackled Judy down in front of the grass area to right of their building. As he sat on top of her, she could see the anger in his face. He started smacking her face with one hand as the other gripped her throat. Judy could taste the blood in her mouth as she tried to scream, but nothing came out.

"Why would you do this to me? Don't you know I love you?" Charles repeated.

He picked her up by her hair to bring her back to the room when Judy kicked him in his knee which caused him to let go of her hair. Then she kicked him in the groin which caused him to fall to the ground. Judy took off again, but this time he didn't follow her. Judy ducked around the side of the motel building and listened to Charles scream her name at the top of his lungs. Judy slumped down on the side of the building near some empty boxes with her knees pressed against her chest and covered her ears to block Charles calling for her. After Charles couldn't find Judy, he rushed back into the room and gathered his things, jumped into his car and took off.

Twenty minutes later, Tom and Ioki walked into the motel office and the clerk was fumbling with the television remote. Tom rang the bell for the clerk to look his way.

"Oh, I'm coming." The clerk said. He was an older man, probably the owner Tom figured. "Do you boys need a room?"

"No sir." Ioki said holding the picture. "Have you seen this man?"

The old man dug for his glasses in his shirt's front pocket and put them on. He snatched the picture out of Ioki's hand and gave it a closer look.

"Yeah, he checked in this morning."

"What room is he in?" Hanson asked getting anxious.

"Let me see." The man flipped pages in his notebook. "Oh, yes here it is. Daniel Kane, room 134. That's in the back."

"Thanks!" Hanson replied as he and Ioki left the office.

The two officers walked outside to meet Penhall when Fuller arrived and joined them.

"Captain, Charles is here under an alias. He's in room 134 around the back of the complex." Ioki said.

"Ok guys, this is what we have been waiting for all day. We should be able to corner him in the room, but remember he has Hoffs." Fuller explained. "We have two agendas, get Hoffs back as safely as possible and to capture Greening."

The three officers and their captain stood in front of room 134 with their guns ready. Captain Fuller opened the already unlocked door and stepped in with his gun pointed and ready for anything that looked like Charles Greening. Hanson, Ioki and Penhall followed with the same adrenaline pumping. After a quick search, they realized that Charles was already gone and Judy was nowhere in sight.

"Damn!" Hanson said kicking the nightstand. "What the hell are we going to do now?"

"At least we know where he's going and we have officers there ready to move in." Fuller assured him.

Penhall searched around the room to see if he could find anything to give them another lead. He noticed the empty coffee cup and a coffee stain on the carpet. The television was knocked over and pieces of gray tape were lying on the bed. Penhall began putting one and one together.

"Hey guys, take a look at this." Penhall pointed to his evidence. "It looks like there was a bit of a struggle here. Maybe Judy escaped?"

Hanson looked at Penhall and ran outside and yelled for Judy.

"Judy!" he yelled. "Come on guys, if Judy escaped, she might still be out here."

Fuller went to check the vending machine area, while Penhall and Ioki looked between the cars. Hanson decided to look on the sides of the building. He went down one side, nothing. As he made his way around the back of building, heading towards the side that Judy was hiding on, he saw something moving. He took his gun out of its holster and walked up slowly. He saw Judy curled up against the wall with her hands covering her ears and tears pouring down.

"Judy!" Tom said crouching down in front of her. "Judy, it's me Tom!"

Judy looked up and swore for a second she was dreaming. Tom took off his jacket and put it around her as he helped her stand up.

"Are you ok?" Tom asked, putting his hand on her face, noticing every mark and contusion.

Without one word, she threw her arms around him and embraced him as she sobbed uncontrollably. Tom squeezed as hard as he could as a tear fell down his face.

"Shhh, I'm here now baby." Tom said stroking her hair trying to calm her down. "Fuller and the guys are in the front of the building."

"Ok." Judy said softly as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Tom put his arm around her waist and walked her to the front of the building where the other officers were.

The guys rushed over to Tom and Judy. Fuller moved a few strands of hair out of her face, so he could see that she was lucid. His face grimaced when he saw what Charles did to her face.

"Are you ok?" a concerned Fuller asked.

"Yeah, I'll live." She said with a smirk.

"Hoffs, where did he go?" Fuller asked.

"I don't know, but his boat leaves at midnight for the Caymans."

"That's in 90 minutes." Fuller said looking at his watch. "I'll radio that in and call an ambulance."

"Are you ok, Judy?" Penhall asked rubbing her back.

"I'm fine Doug. Thanks."

"Are you sure?" Ioki continued.

"It looks worse than it feels. I'm just so happy to be back with you guys." She said tearing up again.

Twenty minutes later, the ambulance arrived and collected Judy. Tom held her hand as the ambulance rolled her into their truck.

"I'll see you at the hospital." Tom called out.

Tom glanced at Penhall and Ioki. "That's one down, one to go. And I will get that son of a bitch."


A big thanks to everyone who reads my story. I've been trying to post a chapter at least once a week, but sometimes the creative juices aren't flowing. Believe it or not, I have also been working on another story about 21 Jump Street, but I promise to wrap this one up before posting the new story.

Thanks for all the reviews!
