To say that Harrison was panicking would be the understatement of the century. All it had taken was a few miles and less than five minutes, and his sister had once again disappeared off the face of the earth. Only this time he knew it wasn't her fault. He had arrived at the site of her crash to find her car door wrenched open, and the car empty. After a quick glance around he had come to the conclusion that she had been forcibly removed from her car. There was one set of footsteps next to her car, and two long indentions in the ground, as if someone had been dragged. The fact that Tru was once again in danger turned his blood to ice, and put him in a bad position. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out his cell phone.

"Jack, I've got a problem. It's Tru."

Meanwhile:

Seated in the darkest spot in the bar, Jack threw back another glass of whisky. He turned his attention to the man signing karaoke.

Staring back in the face, a memory can't be erased. I know because I've tried./

Start to feel the emptiness and everything I'm gonna miss, I know that I can't hide./

All this time passing by I think it's just time to move on/.

When you come back down./

If you land on your feet/

I hope you find a way to make it back to me/

When you come around/

I'll be there for you/

Don't have to be alone in what your going through/

Stop to breathe and fake a smile, it's all the same after a while, I know that you are tired./

Carrying the one's you lost in a picture framed with all the thoughts, you know you hold inside/.

I hope that you can find a way back to the place where you belong./

When you come back down/

If you land on your feet /

I hope you find a way to make it back to me/

When you come around/

I'll be there for you /

Don't have to be along in what your going through./

By the end of the song, Jack felt as if someone had stabbed a knife straight through his heart. He raised his glass in mock salute to the man.

"I see your pain, and I raise you a broken heart." He mumbled tossing back the drink. The song held an eerie resemblance to Tru's life. Something that he had seemingly tried his hardest to destroy, something that he truly wanted to fix, but knew that she would never want him to. His cell phone rang, jarring him from his path of self-destructive thoughts.

"What." He answered irritably.

He listened for a few moments and felt his stomach drop.

"I'm on my way." He jump up and made a beeline for his car. The only thing he could think about was getting to Tru.

It's over Tru though to herself. She was curled into a ball on the edge of the dock waiting for the Calvary to arrive. She glanced out into the seemingly calm lake. But she knew better, she knew she had just narrowly escaped a horrible fate. A fate that countless other women before her had suffered. Once she talked to the sheriff she wouldn't rest until the women at the bottom of the lake were each laid to rest. After all it was her job to help the helpless.

She felt him before she heard him, and knew that she was safe. He quietly sat next to her understanding her need for silence, and granting her wish. They sat side-by-side holding hands, giving and taking, without even speaking. Minutes later a familiar sports car squealed to a stop, and Harry dove out of the car, stumbling over his feet as he raced towards Tru. She stood up just in time for him to pull her into a bear hug.

"God, Tru I was so worried." She could feel his bones trembling as she wound her arms around his back.

He held her at arms length visibly checking her for injuries.

"When I called Jack, he said that he had already talked to you, and that you were okay."

Tru glanced up and realized that Jack had melted into the forest behind them.

Harrison realized the same thing and kissed her forehead. "You love him." It was more of a statement then a question.

Tru nodded. "I don't understand why Harry, I just know that I love him with all my heart." She looked up at him as her eyes filled with tears. "Your still number one little bro don't sweat it."

He gave her a half smile and pulled out his cell phone. "I'm sure you two need to talk, plus someone has to alert the sheriff."

Tru turned and walked off to find Jack. He was leaning against a tree with his arms loosely crossing his chest, watching her.

"Why did you call me first Tru?" He asked quietly as soon as she got close enough.

"I don't know. I guess I just knew you would find me." She shrugged

"Why did you call me?" He asked again.

"Because… I knew."

"You knew what." He prompted.

"I knew- I know that you love me, and that you'll do anything to keep me safe. I know that as weird as this whole thing is, that you understand me better than anyone. And I know without a doubt, that I love you."

As soon as the words left her mouth Tru cringed, waiting for his cold bark of laughter. It never came. She looked up at him and was surprised to see his eyes were filled with compassion, and understanding. He stepped forward and lowered his face towards her lips.

Tru put her hand in front of her face to stop his heat seeking lips. "Whoa buddy, I just barred my soul to you, what do you have to say."

Jack grinned. "Thanks."

Tru put her hands on her hips. "Try again."

"Thank you"

She glared in return. "Tell me."

"Tell you what, that I'm so in love with you, that I hurt when you hurt. That all I want to do is take you somewhere where you're safe and you can feel no pain. That you're the first woman who I've ever felt this way about ever. Is that what you want to hear?"

Tru smiled up at him and pulled his face down towards hers. "It's a start."

As their lips met fireworks exploded. She knew without a doubt that no matter how confusing their relationship got, they would always find a way back to each other.

"So what's this I hear about you being unemployed, something about you threatening to kill your former boss." Tru asked as they walked over to where Harrison was standing.

"Oh that, well you see that wasn't my fault-"

Tru silenced him with a quick kiss.

Harrison groaned comically. "God I think I liked it better when ya'll were at each others throats. I'm going to need therapy for this."

In the distance sirens could be heard and Tru steeled herself for what was about to come.

Jack seemed to be thinking the same thing. "You ready?" He smiled down at her.

She shook her head. Then reached out and slid her hand into his hand.

"Now I'm ready."

The End….
