Jack didn't to have to wait too long before he spotted Harrison arriving at the school. He wondered for a moment if he should try the same ruse on him and phone the police but then decided against it. Where was the fun in that?

Jack stepped out of his car and walked across the lot to where Harrison stood looking at a piece of paper as he checked the licence plates for the car he was looking for.

"It's that one?" Jack said as he approached him. Pointing to the vehicle he smirked as he watched Harrison double check the registration he had obviously scribbled down from Tru; unlike his sister Harrison was not lucky enough to possess a photographic memory.

Harrison didn't bother to reply as he headed towards the car and started checking it out.

"How's Tru?" Jack asked, enjoying baiting him, waiting for him to respond to the barbs.

"In jail," Harrison replied. "But then you know that already don't you?"

"Got me with that one Harry," Jack grinned. "I'm sure they'll let her out soon."

Harrison finished looking at the car. "Well it seems okay at the moment," he said, more to himself than Jack.

"It is," Jack answered. "No one has touched it, apart from you and Tru."

Harrison looked around the lot. Jack could tell that he was at something of a loss of what to do now; he felt much the same way. There was nothing to do but wait; something neither of them was particularly good at.

Jack watched quietly as Harrison walked over to Tru's car and opened the door. He saw that Tru had left the keys in the car and realised he should have got them himself; an opportunity that he had let slip past.

Harrison slid into the driver's seat and settled back to wait; Jack followed after him. There was not a great deal they could do right now. It was like this on some days, nothing to do but wait and watch. On others it was non-stop and he barely had time to stop and think as he tried to outwit Tru and keep fate satisfied; he preferred the others.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" Harrison finally asked when it was clear Jack was not going to leave.

"Not a thing," Jack replied. "How about you? How's the job hunting going?"

Harrison scowled in response and Jack grinned widely. Harrison was nearly as easy to wind up as Tru was; you just had to know which buttons to press.

"You're not still holding a grudge over that old day you nearly died thing are you?" Jack asked.

Harrison remained silent although he started drumming his fingers on the steering wheel.

"You should be thanking me," Jack continued. "I let you live."

"You killed Luc!" Harrison exclaimed.

"You'd rather it was you?" Jack asked, not bothering to go into the whole argument all over again.

"I'd rather you'd stayed out of things and just let Tru do her job," Harrison replied.

"I was just doing my job," Jack said. "You two just don't seem to get it. It's not personal. I didn't have anything against Luc."

"That just makes it worse," Harrison interrupted.

"The balance has to be maintained," Jack insisted, knowing he was wasting his breath. Again he wondered if maybe he should have let Tru win that day. No, he told himself firmly, she should have given up when he had taken things up to the next level and made it personal; he could admit that to himself, if not to Harrison. Instead she had risen to the occasion and was more determined than ever to foil his attempts to stop her. He had to admire her even as he watched her outsmart him repeatedly.

He could tell that Harrison wasn't listening and looked to see what had drawn his attention away.

The car was still where the teenagers had left it. But now there was someone loitering suspiciously around it. They watched the youth as he did something to the car that they couldn't see and then left the lot with a nervous glance over his shoulder.

Harrison got out of Tru's car and walked over to the other vehicle. Jack heard his exclamation of triumph as he saw what had been done to the car and quickly undid the damage.

"Look's like you lose today," Harrison called across.

Jack walked over to him. "Don't be so sure about that."

"You're not touching this car," Harrison said with determination.

"What you going to do?" Jack asked with a smirk. "Stand guard all day?"

"If I have to," Harrison replied. "You're not touching this car."

"Okay," Jack said with a shrug.

"What? You're just going to leave?"

"Sure."

"No arguments? You lose?"

"Oh I wouldn't say that," Jack said as he walked away. "No I wouldn't say that at all."

He continued walking a while before turning back to see that Harrison was struggling to decide what to do next. He had two choices: He could leave the parking lot and hope that Jack didn't return, or he could stand guard. Jack grinned as he saw the indecision on his face.

Getting into his own vehicle Jack started to drive away. He knew that Harrison would wait around for a while before giving up and leaving to see if he could bail Tru out of jail.

In the meantime he had a surprise or two to get ready for them.

Jack drove round to the other side of the block and parked his car. Walking back on foot he saw that Harrison was still in the parking lot; he had chosen to wait in Tru's car for a while longer. Keeping out of sight Jack walked towards the school and in through the doors, ready to track down the victim and ready to ensure that things played out as they were meant to.
