Scene 5 Dinner with Jack

Jordan and Jack sat at a rundown diner. Jack had called her and asked to meet her for dinner. Jack had been telling her about his night of drinking that led him and his brothers to pour gas on a bunch of hoodlums.

"I would give anything to hear Bobby pretend to be a girl running from the cops, that is hilarious." Jordan laughed after Jack had finished his story.

"Yeah, well we took the one guy to the courts and he was telling the truth, they shut off the lights right after ten so there was no way a kid playing ball could have been a witness. Now Bobby is convinced it wasn't just some gang robbery and that there is more to it than that and he wants blood."

"Yeah it sounds like a hit, where they used the robbery to cover up the actual purpose and then bought off a fake witness" Jordan surmised.

"How'd you know that? That is exactly what Bobby said" Jack said astonished.

"Well it all adds up. The only thing that doesn't make sense is why would they wanted your mom? She was the sweetest woman in the world."

"I know" He looked down at his hands and shook hishead "We are going to the store where it happened in the morning, see if we can dig up anything there"

"Just promise me you will be careful, this is some heavy shit you are getting into"Jordan reluctantly warned. She knew Jack could take care of himself but she couldn't resist the warning. She cared for him too much and frankly she was beginning to worry about his safety with all the shit he and his brothers were digging up.

"I know, but I got my brothers looking out for me. So you ready to come home with me?"He asked, looking her in the eye.

Jordan looked up surprised. "You sure about that?"

Jack grinned and took her hands in his. "Of course I am. Besides, Angel has a girl living at the house too. Some crazy Puerto Rican chick who pisses Bobby off beyond belief. Anyway, it is stupid having you across town when I really want you with me." Jack admitted with a sheepish grin. "So, you coming?"

"Yeah, I wanna meet this girl of Angel's, she sounds like fun" Jordan replied with a grin.

"Yeah, I bet you two are going to get along just great"Jack added with more than a small amount of trepidation.
