"What's the plan here Bobby?" Brooklyn asked as she, Bobby, and Jack walked across the street to the car garage. Angel stayed with Paige, so that she wasn't alone and so he could keep Tom from her.
"I don't know, we'll wing it," Bobby answered opening the door to the garage. Brooklyn recognized right away, his name was Jim and he hung around with her dad and Tom a lot, although Jim was actually a pretty nice guy.
Jim looked up from the paper work he was doing behind the desk, "Brooklyn, what are you doing here, your dad said you were sick at home with Mono?" Brooklyn glanced at Jack and Bobby who didn't even flinch. She couldn't believe her dad would go around telling people she was sick instead of just admitting that she ran away.
"Well I'm better now, listen Paige's car was brought here after her accident right?" Brooklyn walked closer to the counter with Bobby and Jack right behind her.
"Yeah are you here to clean it out?" Jim asked and Brooklyn nodded. He led Bobby, Jack, and Brooklyn to the car. "How's Paige?"
"Lucky she's not dead," Jack took one look at the car and wondered how the girl only came out of it with scratches and bruises.
Brooklyn leaned in the front driver's side door and popped the hood. "She'll carry it around with her for the rest of her life, especially cause of her mom."
Jim walked away leaving the three of them to look over the car. Bobby pulled on the hood which was completely smashed up. Him and Jack leaned down and looked at the engine. Neither Bobby nor Jack knew too much about cars, Jerry was the one who was really fond of cars. Out of boredom Brooklyn started to look through the center concel in the car it was filled with junk so Brooklyn tried to sort through it. At the bottom there were a bunch of pictures. She looked through them and tried not to cry, they were pictures of them when they were younger, when things were easier.
"The brakes have been cut," Bobby walked to the driver's side door. Brooklyn looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Brooklyn what's wrong?" Jack asked walking up next to Bobby. Brooklyn shook her head not wanting to talk about it. She got out of the car and walked back to the front of the shop.
"Hey Jim, has Jared been around here in awhile?"
"Yeah he was in the other day borrowing books, why?"
"On brakes?" Brooklyn asked.
"Yeah how'd you know?" Jim asked surprised.
Brooklyn played it cool not wanting to give away anything that might tip Jim of to tell Tom she was snooping around. "Oh I saw them at his house the other day, just wondered if they were yours."
"Listen sir, thanks for all your help, have a nice day," Bobby told the man before leading Brooklyn and Jack out of the shop.
"That was easy," Jack got into the front seat of Bobby's car.
"A little too easy," Bobby sat down next to his brother, then turned around and looked at Brooklyn.
"I don't get it, look at this picture," Brooklyn pulled out one of the pictures she had found in the car. It was Brooklyn, Paige, and Jared the day Jared had gotten his driver's license, they were all sitting in his brand new eclipse convertible. "We were so happy, how'd it all get so fucked up? Why would Jared do this to his own sister?"
"Here's an idea, we'll go ask him," Bobby started the car.
"We can't just go into the hospital and asked him that Tom go is there," Jack knew that if shit went down with Jared, being in the hospital with a dirty cop wouldn't be a good place for it.
"Give me your phone," Brooklyn held her hand out and Jack put his call phone in her hand, she dialed the familiar number and waited for Jared to pick up. "Jared it's me. I left. I need to talk to you. It's important, I miss you I miss us. Meet me at Obsession in thirty minutes." Brooklyn lied to him about why she wanted to meet him but she knew that it would get his attention. Obsession was a huge sports bar that they spent a lot of time in when she lived in Chicago; she knew it was the perfect place for a plan to work.
Bobby stopped the car and turned around looking at Brooklyn, "You dated him?" Brooklyn shrugged and grinned innocently. "What the fuck, I don't want you to meet him, if he could do this to his own sister than imagine what he could do to you."
"You guys are going to be there aren't you?" Brooklyn wondered if they would just drop her off or what their plan was.
"Ok, here's the plan…" Bobby trailed off telling Jack and Brooklyn the plan.
Brooklyn arrived at the sports bar twenty minutes later and saw Jared sitting at a table watching a football game that was on the TV next to the table. "Hey," she walked up to the table, sat down, and took a sip of his beer.
"Hey baby," Jared stared at her.
The noise in the restaurant made it hard for her to hear what he was saying, "what?"
"I said hey."
"Oh hey, listen we need to talk."
"What?" Jared wasn't able to hear a word she was saying. Brooklyn jumped down from her chair and grabbed his hand leading him outside.
"We can talk out here," Brooklyn led him to a back ally; she knew it was there because before Jared turned 21 they used to sneak in the door so they wouldn't have to deal with the bouncer.
"Or we can talk out here," Bobby said as him and Jack walked out from a dark corner. Bobby held up his gun letting Jared know he wasn't playing around.
"You set me up!" Jared yelled at Brooklyn, "How could you set me up?" Bobby punched Jared across the face sending him to the ground. Bobby and Jack hovered over him while Brooklyn stayed back a little ways. It was hard for her to even look at Jared; she could see the anger in his eyes. He was one of her best friends and at one point she loved him more than anything else in the world.
"You tried to kill your own sister, what the hell is wrong with you?" Jack asked punching Jared in the jaw.
"You go girl, hit him again," Bobby cheered him on.
"I did ok, I did, but only for Tom, it was me or her. He wanted our money, he said he needed it," Jared admitted the truth right away, scared of what these two men with guns would do.
Bobby turned around and looked at Brooklyn, "Should I put a bullet in his head right now?"
Brooklyn thought for a minute, she didn't want Bobby to kill Jared, even though she knew how capable he was of doing it. "Why don't we let him go this time?"
"Thank you Brooklyn," Jared let out a sigh of relief.
"But Paige is going to come stay with me, and your gonna keep Tom and my dad far away with us. If you don't, we'll haunt you down when your least expecting it. You try sleeping on that for the rest of your life." Brooklyn crossed her arms and said it as strong as she could.
"Ok, ok, if she wants to live with you then she can go," Jared agreed out of fear.
