Jude and Patsy...

"Have I ever told you that I really really don't like dark places?" I said to Patsy as she leaned resiliently against the prison bars staring out at me from where I sat on the cement floor outside the cell. A big burly woman sat against the wall behind Patsy looking at me a little too keenly for my liking as I waited impatiently for the cop I had just spoken with to let me use their phone.

"We could always start singing." Patsy said with a shrug of her shoulders as I raised my brow at her and shook my head.

"And give Burly Sue back there any more reason to ogle me. Uh Uh, I don't think so." I said on a whisper as Patsy grinned and glanced over her shoulder. I could tell she was trying not to laugh as she perused the he-woman who winked at me as I made the mistake of glancing back at her again. Shuddering, I turned so that a good part of me was hidden in the shadows and other part was hidden behind Patsy. Thank God there were bars between us. Patsy couldn't help it. She laughed.

"I am so glad that I have become such an amazing source of entertainment for you today, Patsy. Really I am. We're what? Bosom buddies now. Because I am seriously starting to think you have a twisted definition of female bonding." I said sarcastically on a hitched breath as I started gulping in air. There was enough light in here that I wasn't too shaken up, but I really really didn't like the dark. Patsy smirked cruelly at my sarcastic attitude until she glanced at my face and noticed how pale I had become.

"Geez, Harrion. You weren't kidding about dark places were you?" Patsy asked sheepishly as I shook my head and took in a breath.

"Let's just say I am one of the few people over the age of ten who seriously needs to consider taking stock out on night lights." I said on a small laugh as something skittered across the prison floor causing me to jump at least a half-mile into the air. Patsy touched my arm sympathetically just as the door to the room popped open. A cop stepped through the opening and I basked in the flood of light that shone through.

"Alright, Ms. Harrison. You can make that phone call if you'd like." The officer said politely as I glanced over my shoulder at Patsy before following the man out of the room. I couldn't call Jamie because I knew he and Patsy were on the fritz, there was no way I was calling anybody associated with Tommy by marriage or sexually (nope, I had so had enough of that), I certainly didn't want to deal with SME's emotional outbursts, and I didn't know the Moore's enough to have them pay Patsy's bail so I picked up the phone and dialed the one number I knew would come through for us without making it into a huge scene.

Back to Tommy and Kwest…

Kwest laughed softly to himself as Tommy took another shot at the basket missing it badly. His thoughts must really be messed up, Kwest thought to himself. Picking up the ringing phone, Kwest ignored Tommy's inquiring look as he stared at the receiver.

"Hello." Kwest said softly knowing that only a few people had his room number.

"Kwest? Oh, thank God it's you. I was absolutely scared to death that it would be Tommy." Jude said in a high-pitched voice as Kwest drew his brows together jerkily.

"Ju…" He began slowly as Jude practically screamed on the other line.

"If Tommy's in the room with you, you better not finish that word, Kwest!" She reiterated as Kwest shrugged his shoulders.

"as. Judas." He finished pathetically as Tommy sat up suspiciously.

"So, he is there with you. Okay, I'll make this short. I need your help. Patsy has managed to get herself arrested. Yes, again, and I need someone to bail her out. Can you come get us? Just say yes or no and then hang up." Jude said quickly as Kwest glanced at Tommy wryly from the corner of his eye.

"You got it." Kwest said humorously as he hung up the phone and turned to Tommy.

"Patsy's in jail again and Jude's with her. Want to ride shot gun?" Kwest asked on a grin as Tommy groaned.

"Do you know how badly Jude's going to kill you when I show up with you?" Tom asked on a laugh. Kwest nodded while Tommy jumped up and grabbed a set of keys.

"Then I wouldn't miss it for the world." Tommy stated matter-of-factly as they both rushed out the door.
