Chapter 15
7:00
Tru and Jack had left the rooftop where the teenage girl had attempted to take her life. They had saved her together this time and they left the building, holding hands, fingers intertwined.
"What are we going to do about my father?" Tru asked. Jack said nothing for a long moment. Tru stopped walking and turned to face him. They were on the sidewalk outside, and people walked passed them, annoyed at the location of the conversation.
"Tru"
"Jack, I want to know." Jack lowered his head and tipped his forehead so his was resting on hers.
"I'm going to do what I have to." He said, cryptically.
"And that would be…?" Jack was silent. "I don't want you to lie to me."
"I'm not planning on it."
"What are you going to do?" Tru asked.
"I'm not sure. But I know what I'm prepared to do if I have to. All I know, is that it's not either of our times to die. Something was wrong the last two days. All we have to do, is figure out what went wrong." Jack said, walking away from Tru.
"You're going to…" Tru said, watching him walk away. She stood a second, contemplating what he was planning to do. She took a shakey breathe and ran after him. "Jack?" He stopped walking and let her catch up.
"Don't go." She pleaded.
"I have to. If I don't, we've officially made an enemy and neither of us can compete with him. I'll see what I can do, but if it comes down to it…" Jack trailed off, letting Tru catch onto his train of thought. Tru hung her head.
"I understand." She said, with a nod.
"I don't want you to come with me." Tru looked like she was going to protest and Jack placed a finger over her lips. "I don't want you associated with this. Go to work; I'll meet you there later." He said, and kissed her quickly.
"It better be alive." Tru said, the warning in her voice. Jack smiled. "Of course." Tru smiled back at him and Jack kissed her once more, longer this time. They parted and Tru let out a groan. "Do you have to go?" Jack smiled and gave her a quick kiss goodbye.
"Yup. I'll see ya at the Morgue." Jack said and started to head down the street.
"Jack?" He turned and looked at her. "If you die, again, I'll kill you myself." Jack smiled at her.
"I wouldn't expect anything less." He said, and turned and left. Tru stood where she was for a moment and watched him go. She sighed and turned the other direction and walked toward the Morgue, a chill over coming her despite the night being unnaturally warm.
