DISCLAIMER: I do not own 7th Heaven or anything related to 7th Heaven. All medical information on this story is either half-truth or completely made up. I am not a doctor. 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.


Before they were outside, Kevin asked. "Do any of you have any idea where he could be?"

No one answer but suddenly, Kay untangled her fingers from Savannah's and raced upstairs. After a few minutes of confusion and worry from her family downstairs, she reappeared on the steps, holding a small black rectangle.

"What's that?" Lucy asked, peering at the object when her youngest daughter was at the bottom of the stairs.

Kay held the object up, chest level and said, "A very important resource and the name of a mildly successful movie starring Britney Murphy. This, my dear family, is Jake's Little Black Book ."


Chapter 26: Jake's Escape

Twenty minutes after they had left, Kevin pulled the SUV into the driveway of one Gloria Alderman, the same Gloria who wrote the perverted letter.

"Are you sure this is the right address?" Kevin asked as he got out of the vehicle. The door was still open and he was talking to Kay, who was still in the car.

"Yeah," she said, double-checking the number on the side of the door with the one in the address book . She closed the book and put it in her pants pocket. Soon, she joined the rest of the family, minus Jake, outside of the SUV. She glanced at the white house. It wasn't that large, but it had two stories and a garage that connected on the left of the house. Flowers surrounded the steps to the front door and she thought that it was a rather nice place.

Kevin gave them a 'let's go' look and they all headed to the front door. At the door, Kevin pushed the doorbell and they heard footsteps coming to the door. Savannah was rocking on her feet and Kay was biting her nails. Apparently, they were just a bit nervous.

When the door opened, a fat balding man in a tank top and black pants stood there. "Hello." He said in a rather harsh voice and Kay felt a tremble in the bottom of her spine.

"Hello." Kevin said, putting his police persona on and giving the man a friendly but serious smile. "Sorry to bother you, but my son is missing. His name is Jake and I have a picture right here, if you'll take a look," he whipped out the picture and let the man take a glance at it.

Kay could see the man furrow his brow trying to think but he said, "No, sorry I can't help you."

Gathering her courage, Kay spoke up and asked, "Maybe Gloria would know? I know that they are friends, maybe she's seen or heard from him?"

"I don't think so, but I'll get her anyway, if it'll help." With that, the man backed up and used his arm to gesture them inside. Once they were seated on a couch, they waited as Mr. Alderman walked up a set of stairs. A minute later, a young girl in red short-shorts and white t-shirt came bounding down the steps.

When she reached the living room, Kevin stood up and put his hand out. She took his and they shook hands before she settled on the couch across from them, with her father seated next to her. "So, my father says that you need to talk to me?"

"Yes," Lucy said. She smiled a bit and clenched her hands together, trying to keep her composure. "We know that you know our son, Jake Kinkirk. You see, he's gone missing. It's only been an hour but he was very upset when he left and we just don't want him to get hurt…"

"Or anyone else, for that matter." Kevin added in.

"You think he's dangerous?" Mr. Alderman said, worry coming into his eyes.

"No, not exactly. We are just scared he'd do something irrational and we want to prevent that. Anyway," Lucy continued, "we were wondering if you had seen or heard from him in the last hour."

Kay saw Gloria's blue eyes flash, as if she were remembering something…

FLASHBACK:

She was in her room, doing some crunches when she heard a knock on her window. She stopped immediately and turned to face the window, fear in her eyes. But it faded when she saw the familiar light brown-topped head. She ran over to the window, threw it open and helped it get through.

"Jake, what are you doing here? And why didn't you use the door?" She was going to ask more questions but he silenced her with a hard, yet intoxicating kiss. When they broke, she grabbed at the top of his pants and pulled him to the bed. "Mmm… what was that for? And what can I do to get more?"

"Oh, I'd love to do more, baby, but I'm in trouble and I need you," Jake said, knowing that added 'I need you' would seal the deal. Gloria had always been in for the bad guys who just needed someone to save them. He sat on the bed and pulled her on his lap.

"What's wrong?" she said, bringing her forehead to his.

"You know the signs about my sister that were in school? Well… that was my doing. I don't know why I did it, I guess I was just really angry at her and I didn't know how to show it." Tears started forming at his eyes and his voice choked with emotion. "I'm messed up, babe. I'm messed up." He lowered his head and waited for her to come to his rescue.

She didn't disappoint him either, because when she saw him crying, her heart broke. "Oh, baby," she said and lifted his head. With the pads of her thumbs she wiped the tears from his face and kissed under each eye before looking into them. "No, you're not messed up. You're just confused."

Thank God she's not perceptive, Jake thought and when she brought him into a hug, he held on for dear life. "So, what are you going to do? What are we going to do?"

"Umm… you could hide here. I mean, my dad only comes in once a day, if that. As long as I go down for dinner and watch an hour of TV with him and like, do my chores and stuff, he'll never know that you are here. I'll sneak up food, too. I'll just tell him that I have my period or something. And then, when he leaves for work at tonight, we'll have the place all to ourselves." She gave him a devilish smile and kissed him. With that she got up and went to her closet. It was big enough to fit a bed, so she grabbed some extra blankets and set them down on the floor. "Just in case you need to hide," she explained.

"Thank you, baby. I love you." He said and she knew that everything would be okay.

END FLASHBACK

…but the look faded as quickly as it came and she said, "No, I haven't seen him or heard from him or anything like that since this morning at school." She pushed back a piece of strawberry blonde hair and gave a small smile. "I'm sorry."

"That's okay," Kevin said and stood up. Seeing his movements, the rest of the remaining family followed and soon they were at the door, shaking hands with the Alderman's. "Thank you for your time," he said as he walked out the door first. Lucy was next and then Savannah, but Kay held back for a moment, looking at Gloria.

"And you're sure you haven't heard anything?" she said.

"Yes, I'm sure." The look flashed again and Gloria smiled it off.

"Okay, well if you hear anything… anything at all… you call us. It's 555-9842, ok?" Gloria nodded and waited for Kay to make her way out before closing the door.

"Hmm… I guess even they have problems." Her father said from behind her and she turned to him.

"Wanna watch something on TV?" she suggested and when he agreed, she sat on the couch and turned on the WB. "Maybe that show about the big family that likes to help people and deals with family issues is on? You know? Cloud 9, I think is what it's called."

"Yeah, sounds good." Mr. Alderman said and laid back, not noticing that his only daughter kept glancing at the top of the stairs.


"Well, that didn't pan out," Savannah said as she climbed back into the gas-guzzler.

"I don't know…" Kay peered at the house that they had just emerged from a minute before. "Something doesn't feel right. There was this look she had…"

"You noticed it, too." Kevin interrupted, turning to face her.

"Yeah."

"Well, maybe there's another cop in the family, after all." Lucy said and buckled her seat belt.

Kevin turned on the engine and after they heard its roar, he asked, "Where to next?"

Kay got the book from her pocket and opened the page that they had found Gloria's name on. She read Jake's ex-girlfriends name. "Dana Berkely, 45 Maple Hill Avenue."
