"Tommy?" Jessica said tears welling in her eyes.

And all of a sudden it all came flashing back before her eyes, the lazy after noon play dates in Tom's room, the Saturday bowling matches (Jessica always won... although Tom would never, ever admit to it), the late night phone conversations, they all came flooding back.

Tom looked her in the eyes, she felt as though he could he see her soul. He walked over to her, and pulled her in to his arms.

"I've missed you so much Tom", Jessica said, tears pouring down her face.

"I've missed you too... I wanted to call you, but my mom said not to... she said it would be too hard on you." Tom said.

All of a sudden Doug Penhall cleared his throat. "Hey you too... mind getting a room?"

Tom rolled his eyes.

"Oh no!" Jessica gasped, "The interview, erm, Mr... I mean Captain Fuller, please forgive me." She started to wipe away her tears furiously.

Captain Fuller smiled. "Don't worry. This isn't an interview. You've already got the job."

Jessica gasped again. "What? Seriously, even after this?"

Penhall laughed. "You mean the water works... ha, that was nothing... Coach here is pretty forgiving." He slapped Captain Fuller on the back, and Fuller flinched. "Aren't ya?"

Fuller glared. "That's enough Penhall. And yes, Jessica, you 'seriously' do have the job." Fuller smiled.

Jessica fell back into the chair behind her. "Wow."

"Back to business, " Fuller said. "Jessica, I have your first assignment."

Jessica snapped back into reality. "Wha... you do? cool, what is it?"

"Well, West Shore high has had a history of cheerleaders using steroids, so I'm going to send you in undercover. Cheer leading try outs start tomorrow. I want you to 'buddy up' with this girl." Fuller handed her a picture. "Her name is Adrianna Blake. She's a sophomore, and the co-captain of the cheer leading team. Get close, find out her source."

Jessica beamed. "I get to be a cheer leader again... wow, it's been awhile. I think I still remember a few of my routines."

"Well, you better start practicing, you start tomorrow morning. Arrive here at 7 for briefing, and then school starts at 8:30. And one tip, I know you're smart, but try to keep your grade in the mid range, A's will be a dead give away."

Penhall stood up. "And that outfit. Gotta go. You look like your going to auditioning to be a secretary."

Jessica looked down at her out fit. She thought she looked fine. She always tried to look a little more mature... especially when she was driving...

"Penhall has a point. Judy Hoffs, one of the other police officers will help you."

"Ok. Sounds good." Jessica smiled. She did it. She really did it. Now she could start over... and with Tom. But did he still feel the same way he did back then?
