Also, if you are a fan of the happy relationships in 7th Heaven, don't read. Thos story contains a "rebel" who doesn't agree with her family and not so nice language and themes are sometimes used. Thank you. Enjoy! PS: this part contains some characters from another story called D4 from PaUlKaRiYaSgUrL9. She (the author) let me use them. Therefore I don't own them or the characters from the Mighty Ducks. Don't worry, they are just minor players, they will have no impact on the story aside from that they are friends. I don't own the plot to Jawbreaker, either, or the title.
Thanks mom." Lucy said and gave a small smile. She still thought it was Savannah but if her mother thought that they should re-investigate, then it might be something worth doing.
After the door closed behind them, Kevin and Lucy made their way to the car. Since they needed air, Lucy suggested that they go for a walk. But Kevin didn't want to clear his mind. "I am exactly how I need to be for what I need to do."
Chapter 24: It's Always In The Last Place You Look
They had only spent a few minutes in the living room after Jake had left. Seeing how relentless his younger sister was, he decided it would be best if he went to find his parents and "tell them the truth" before his sisters were able to "lie" to them.
For all she cared, Jake could go and find them; it didn't matter. He had left them the opportunity to find proof.
"What do you mean, we can get "proof"?" Savannah said as she followed her sister up the stairs.
"He thinks he's all that but I bet he forgot to make sure that it couldn't come back on him." Kay said, almost at the top step.
Savannah was confused but she went with her anyway, knowing that Kay was smart and she probably knew what she was talking about. Her eyes were still a bit blurry after all the crying but she felt decent enough. Nothing's gonna stop me from giving him what he's got coming.
In the hall, the two sisters, once separated by a cloud of misguided loathing, stood side-by-side in front of Jake's door. "What we need to clear your name lies inside this door." Kay said solemnly, then reached the knob and opened the door. They were hit by the smell of the cologne he wore and their vigor was renewed. They gave each other hopeful glances and stepped in.
But they had done it at the same time and since the door wasn't big enough for the two of them, they bumped together. They laughed at the Three-Stooges of it all and Savannah backed away, letting her sister take the lead for the first time in her life. Kay gave her an appreciative smile back and walked into the room.
"Okay, look through his desk drawers for anything that looks suspicious. Notes, scraps of paper, uhh… telephone numbers… things like that. Anything that you think might link him to 'the incident'." Kay said as she sat on his bed and grabbed the phone that was on the table next to it. It was the kind that had a built in Caller ID, so she pressed the back button and checked the numbers. Nothing out of the ordinary, she thought and continued her search.
To her right, Savannah was opening the top drawer and sorting through a mess of multi colored paper. She found a few notes, but they were from girls and had nothing to do with either Kay or Savannah. She checked the back of the desk and didn't find anything either. "Any luck?" she said to her sister's rear end. At that moment, Kay was looking under Jake's bed and her butt was the only thing visible.
"No," was the muffled response and Savannah's hope started to waver. She stopped her search of the desk and looked out the window. A small stream of light still crept in but it was fading.
She heard her sister let out an exasperated breath of air and refocused her attention on their mission. "So, what now?"
"Well, you could check the closet… are you sure you didn't see anything?" Kay said, still sitting on the floor.
"Nope. Nothing. Well, there was one very perverted letter from some girl named Gloria but that's not really unusual, now is it?" Savannah's mouth was turned in disgust.
"No." Kay said, obviously distracted. Savannah moved closer to her and tried to see what she was focused on.
"Kay? What is it?"
"The computer."
"What?"
"The computer! That's where it is." Kay jumped to her feet and grabbed her sister's hand. She brought her to the computer chair and sat down.
"Kay, are you sure?" Savannah said from behind her. Apparently, she was because in seconds she was typing Jake's password. Savannah looked at the keyboard and saw Kay type in "the man". "That's not gonna… oh." She was sure that Jake wasn't stupid enough to have his password be his own self appointed nick name but then again, she was sure about a lot of things until a day ago.
As if reading her mind, Kay said, "He's not stupid; he's just conceited." Once the screen loaded, she opened up all of documents and scanned them as quick as she could. After ten minutes, she still couldn't find anything and she was starting to get impatient. "Damnit, where is it? It's gotta be in here somewhere."
Savannah knew what she was going through because she had been watching the clock the entire time. They had no idea how long it would be until their parents or Jake (or both!) got home and they didn't want to be snooping when they did. Then she had an idea. "Move!" she cried and slipped into the seat as soon as Kay exited.
Kay was confused but she strangely confident. Maybe she's not as dumb as she looks. "What?"
"God, I can't believe I didn't think of this before," she said and logged Jake on to instant messenger and looked through the screen names. It took her only a minute to find what she was looking for. MrCompGenius0101. And he was online.
"Hey" she typed, hoping that was something he would say.
"What are you doing?" Kay said, worry laden in her voice.
"Okay. This kid is a computer genius. He's the person who did all the dirty work. Jake contacted him last night…"
"Told him everything he needed to know and threatened him to do it…" Kay continued.
"And bada bing, bada boom, you got hundreds of flyers all over school airing your dirty laundry." Savannah finished, smiling to herself a bit for figuring it out. She glanced back at the screen before she felt her sister's hand at her shoulder.
"Now we just need proof."
MrCompGenius010.: "Hello. Was that what you wanted? We never got to talk in school."
"Holy crap! He… He… They…" Savannah couldn't quite make it out but Kay knew what she was saying. True, they had known that he did it but the admission from the accomplice somehow made it more real than anything else before.
"SAY SOMETHING!" Kay shouted to her older sister and Savannah typed, "Yeah, it's wut I wanted. So, how did you do it, by the way?"
There was quite a long pause before he answered. The sisters hoped it was because he was telling them, but instead…
MrCompGenius0101: "I don't think this is Jake. I'm going now." And MrCompGenius0101 signed off.
"Damnit!" Kay yelled and threw her arms up in frustration. "Now what?"
"Oh, we just have to hack into the service and get the conversation." Savannah calmly said and started to do just that.
Kay was in awe. She never dreamed that her sister would know so much and actually be helpful, but she was. And Kay was very glad about that.
"Basically," Savannah said, "All I have to do is access his account and go through the records. Trust me, easier done than said." She typed away furiously and in seconds a list of dates and times appeared on the screen, signifying every conversation Jake had ever had.
"But…"
"Oh, this is a company that mostly does parental control things. So, they have it so the parents can check. But if you know how, you can delete everything in here. I learned a week after we got it." She said smugly and double clicked on the last date/time entry. The conversation, and proof, that they were looking for was theirs.
"Don't read it first, it's the one. Just print it. I think we've run low on time and I don't wanna chance it, you know?" Kay said and felt a flood of relief wash over her when she saw the piece of paper that had the conversation on it come through the printer. "Don't delete it."
"I wasn't going to. If mom and dad don't believe that the paper is really by him then it will at least give them the incentive to check it out for themselves." With that, Savannah logged off and the two went downstairs, the proof in Kay's hands.
No one was home yet and that was good. They still needed to go over what they were going to say. "I think I should talk first. One, they don't want to hear you, especially if Jake got to them first. Two, I need to tell them that I'm not sticking up for you just because. I'm doing it because I know you're innocent." Kay said and Savannah agreed.
When the front door opened, they were on the couch, waiting.
Sorry I was late on the update. I got a bit of writers block. Okay, review time. Reviews make me wanna write quicker, better and longer.
