Tommy had been living in California for the last 8 years. Everyday, he tried to get away from the press, in fear of being caught. He had tried to get away from them for the last 8 years, and it had worked. He knew eventually he would get caught, but he didn't know when. He didn't want Jude or his son or daughter hurt. So he just lived alone. He never went out, and when he did, he kept his hat on and he had his sunglass on at least. He hated doing this, but he knew it was for the best.
That very day Jude had seen it, he was at the market looking over the newest tabloid whie waiting in line. He skimmed over the articles and suddenly stopped at an article. He looked over it and his eyes grew wide. There was a picture of him and the headline the simply said "Tommy Q., Back From The Dead?". He couldn't believe they had found him. They had all the proof where he was, but what confused him the most was the headline. He couldn't get why they had said that, but he was going to find out why. As soon as he finished checking out, he drove home and picked up the phone. He didn't know whether he should call. He sat on his couch with the phone in his hands for a hour. Just staring at it.

As soon as Jamie had dropped Hope off, he knew that something was wrong as soon as he walked into the house. As he stood in the living room, he realized it. "Jude?" He called out, "What's with the bags?" Jamie already knew the answer, but he had to ask anyway. "Jamie, you know why, you saw that article," Jude said. "Mom, where are you going?" Hope said as she came into the room with a snack. "We, Hope. And were going California," Jude said. "Why?" Hope said with eyes. "Becuase were going to go see your daddy," Jude said, her eye's filling up with tears.
----------------------
Jude and Hope were on their way to the airport. Jamie couldn't go, so he just decided to bring Jude and Hope to the airport. He had to say goodbye to them becuase he had no idea when he was going to see them again. Jamie knew that Jude still loved Tommy, but he couldn't admit it. He needed Jude. He wanted Jude. Jamie had to have Jude. But still, here he was, driving them to the airport, to see Tommy. He had no idea why he had done that. He was so stupid! He was so preoccupied with his thoughts, he pulled a Tommy (as they called it), and almost drove off the road. "Jamie! God! Watch the road, you don't want something to happen!" she sighed as she added,"Again." Jamie kept his eyes on the road and tried to concentrate.
As they got there, Hope couldn't contain her excitement. She started hopping around and singing. Jude looked at Hope as if she were crazy. As Jude listened closely, she could hear Hope singing "24 Hours". She had heard it in the car when they were driving there. Hope had no idea it was her mom, and Jude planned to keep it that way. When they got to the gate, Jude turned around. "Bye Jamie, wish me luck!" Jude said. As she started to leave, he pulled her back. As he gave her a long, passionate kiss, Hope just stared at them as if sickened. "Mommy! Can we go now? I wanna see daddy!" Hope said excitedly. Jude pulled away and laughed. "Fine, fine!" Jude said. She turned to Jamie once more, "Thanks for understanding that I needed to see Tommy, I love you Jamie!" Jude said and hurried along as Hope pulled her arm leading her to the plane. Jamie stood in shock at what Jude had just said. How could he believe that when she was on her way to see her ex? Jamie stood and watched as the plane left the airport. Jamie walked off and sighed. He hoped Jude had enough common sense to resist Tommy. Because Tommy sure didn't love Jude as much as he did. Or did he? Jamie walked out of the airport with the thoughts filling his head more by the minute.
------------------
Jude and Hope had been on the plane for at least 4 hours. Or did it only seem that long? Hope had fallen asleep about an hours ago, and was now soundly snoring. Jude couldn't help but think about how Hope looked so much like her dad. Jude just stared at Hope, watching her every move. Watching her mouth, even though she was asleep, she was still smiling. Her hair, now that Jude came to think of it, it looked so much like her dad's too, it had, somehow, became darker, almost like a dark brownish red. Jude had been so caught up in watching Hope, that she had no idea that Hope had woken up. Hope jumped up and yelled "Boo!" Jude, nearly had a heart attack! "Hope Rose Harrison! Don't you dare ever do that to me again!" Jude yelled. As soon as that happened, everyone turned to look at them. Jude look at them sheepishly. She just said sorry, and turned back to Hope who was now squealing. "Yay! We're here!" Hope said happily. Hope happily. As soon as the plane had landed, Hope ran out of her seat and ran out of the plane. Jude grabbed their bags and ran after Hope. As soon as she caught up to Hope, Jude saw a face she never thought she would ever see again, and he was running to catch his plane. She yelled after him, "Tommy!" Tommy turned around in surprise. It was her.
