Chapter 10: Tell me about it.
AN: Thanks to everyone for the ideas, especially varley 990, who's ideas I went with.
"Thanks for coming, Mr. Quincy," Chief Garret said shaking Tommy's hand. "We need you to identify Mr. Harrison."
Tommy stood behind the one-way mirror with his arms crossed as he looked for Mr. Harrison. And there he was. "He's number six," he replied, stiffly.
"Thank you…" Chief Garret added.
Tommy turned to face him. "Do you mind if I talk to him for a few minutes? I want to make sure he knows what's going on…"
"Good idea. He seemed a little confused when we brought him in. We'll set you guys up in the interrogation room."
Ten minutes later, Tommy entered the interrogation room.
"Tom!" Mr. Harrison called, standing up and hugging Tommy.
"Hey, Mr. Harrison," Tommy replied, flatly. "Sit down."
Mr. Harrison sat back down and Tommy slid into the chair across the table. "I'm glad you're here, Tom. I have no idea why I'm even here."
"I do."
"Do you mind explaining it to me?"
"You were here a few months ago. Why?"
"I wanted to see my daughters."
"You were out driving drunk. Why?"
"I didn't think they'd want to see me. So I went out to a bar and had a few drinks."
"You hit a 17-year-old girl. She died that night."
"That's why I'm here?"
Tommy could feel anger start coursing through his veins. "Do you have any idea who that girl was?"
"No… Why are you getting upset?"
He stood, knocking his chair over. "That 17-year-old girl that you killed, you want to know her name? Jude Harrison! Your daughter, my girlfriend! And you killed her." He stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
"Well, that was fun," Tommy joked coming into G Major.
"What was?" Sadie asked glumly.
Tommy stepped back out of surprise. "Oh, Sadie, I- um, just came from the police station. I had a nice little chat with your father."
"You mean jackass?"
"He didn't know he hit Jude. He didn't know she was dead."
"He's stupid. I hate him."
"I know."
"So he's in custody?"
"Yeah…" Tommy glanced to the floor, not knowing what to say. "Sadie, about the other day…"
"I don't want to talk about it, Tom."
"It never happened, alright?"
"Fine by me."
"I was just caught in the moment."
"You were dating my sister."
"Who is dead now."
"She just died."
"I'm not ready to move on."
"And besides, it'd be betraying my sister."
"Right."
"So we agree?"
"Yeah."
"Right."
He nodded and wandered away from her.
AN: A little tense between them. Anyways, please R&R!
