Tom was sitting at his desk, waiting for the others to arrive. He got to the station extra early so he could discuss his latest case, and get all his facts straight. The others were due to arrive any minute.

All of a sudden the door burst open, and Jessica and Penhall ran in, hand in hand.

Tom was shocked. Penhall. And Jessica. Dating? How did that happen? All of a sudden the green monster of jealousy crept up on him. Didn't Jessica like him? After her reaction when they met again he thought for sure she liked him.

Jessica let go of Penhall's hand. "We made it!"

Penhall looked at his watch. "With minutes to spare."

Tom got up. "You like that outfit Penhall?"

Penhall looked down at his clothes. "Clothes are clothes. Why'd you ask?"

Tom glared at him. "You were wearing the same thing yesterday."

Jessica walked over to Tom. "Is something wrong?" She took his hand.

Tom pulled his hand away. "I'm fine." He walked towards Fullers office.

Soon Ioki and Hoffs arrived.

After being briefed, they all headed in their separate directions.

As Tom was walking towards his car, he caught Jessica and Penhall in the corner of his eyes. They were kissing passionately. Tom scoffed, and got in his car, and drove away.

Jessica was really worried about Tom. She never thought about how he might react to her and Penhall dating. She couldn't concentrate during her first class. Oh well. She didn't need to make good grades.

She remembered the hurt look on his face, it looked like his heart was breaking. How could she do this to her best friend? Then again, he had Amy. Or at least she thought he did. All he ever talked about was the horrible fights they got into. They even fought on Valentines Day.

All of a sudden, she heard her name called.

"Jessica Morton. Stand up please." Her new English teacher, Mr. Harris said.

Jessica did as she was asked.

"Class, we have a new student with us today. She just transferred in from North Bay. I'm sure you'll all make her feel welcome."

The kids in her class turned around.

she waved nervously. "Hi." she said, and then sat down.
