Weeks past without any sign of Tommy. Darius wasn't back yet and Sadie was still in charge. Jude had been working on writing another song, which she would be performing on Under the Mic.
Kwest: How is your song coming Jude?
Jude: It's good. Not quite there yet, but its on it's way.
Kwest smiled
Kwest: oops, I gotta run Jude. I have to record with Mason. I'll see you later.
Jude: bye
Kwest ran out and Jude sighed. She went back to strumming her guitar.
note: this scene is not associated with Jude's NEW song, the song used is only background music
I
tried to tell you
I've got to get away
Tommy threw a big box into the back of his SUV
I
tried to say
I need my space
The SUV backed out of a driveway
I
got to get some
Distance in between
My heart and my head
Jude strummed the strings on her guitar
I'm
on the razor's edge
I've been here before
I know the way
Tommy's SUV crossed a bridge over a river, a moving truck behind him
White
lines
and headlights in my eyes
the SUV sped through traffic on a highway
White
lines
I'm ready to drive all night
White lines
The Car gets off at exit 19
How
many 'till I'm in your arms
White lines
Will bring me home
Oooo
White lines will bring me home
I held you in
My arms last night
Jude scribbled in her journal that Tommy gave her
I
dreamed we were
Riding on a star
The SUV followed down a long countryside road
I
kissed you and
The sun began to shine
Rain began to fall heavily, as Tommy's windshield wipers moved back and forth
In
dreams I can do anything
Jude sat back in her chair and ruffled her hair
It
seems like I'm on my own
It feels like I'm losing it all
Tommy got onto another highway, it was now becoming dark
White
lines
And headlights in my eyes
The cars lit up the dark highway
White
lines
I'm ready to drive all night
Tommy pulled over to a motel
White
lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
Jude lay across her bed
White
lines
Will bring me
in the light, Tommy continued on the highway again
Seems
like I've been here before
I know the way
Tommy followed routes and roads up into a small town
Seems
like I've been on my own
So long
So long
he went up a big, endless like hill road along the woods
White
lines
And headlights in my eyes
his SUV turned into an entrance of a community called, Solitude Village
White
lines
I'm ready to drive all night
he followed up minor hills past small ranches and chalets with tiny yards
White
lines
How many 'till I'm in your arms
he pulled into a small driveway to a little house
White
lines
Will bring me home
he opened the door and set down a box
Jude walked into G-Major and spotted Sadie yelling at Jamie who was seated behind the front desk.
Sadie: HOW MUCH SIMPLER CAN IT GET? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM AND CANCEL HIS MEETING! NOW WE HAVE THREE MIDDLE AGED MEN IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM EXPETING DARIUS TO MET WITH THEM!
Jamie: I told you! There was no meeting scheduled in the book or the computer! How could I have known?
Jude came up behind them
Jude: I hope I'm not interrupting anything
Sadie sighed
Sadie: no. I'll just go tell them Darius is out of town and apologize for the mix-up.
She smiled at Jud and walked away
Jude stood silently for a minute as she watched Sadie disappear into the meeting room. She quick turned to Jamie
Jude: I need a favor
Jamie: shoot
Jude: I need you to get me Tommy's address
Jamie: I don't know if you heard, but he's sort of missing at the moment. As in, no one knows where he is
Jude: I know that. I'm talking about where he actually lives, or used to.
Jamie: okay and you expect to find this out for you…how?
Jude looked at the computer out of the corner of her eye, eyebrows raised, allowing a grin to play up her face
Jude: for me?
Jamie: why do you want it? He isn't there. G-Major checked.
Jude: I know, but I think I may be able find a thing or two out by going to his house
Jamie: okay, so let's say I do tell you where he lived, how do you plan on getting in?
Jude: I know Tommy well enough to figure it out
Jamie stared at her with a confused expression
Jude: trust me enough. Please?
Jamie looked into Jude's big eyes. How could he say no to her? He let out a sigh and clicked his mouse on the computer. Jude squealed and hugged him, pulling him across the desk
Jamie: uh Jude, air
Jude let go and smiled
Jude: thank you thank you thank you!
Jamie repositioned himself and began clicking again
Jamie: Tom Quincy, Tom Quincy
Jude peered over and glanced at the computer screen. Jamie was scrolling down an employee list. She saw him pass her name. He went through more and finally came to Quincy, Thomas. He clicked and a page came up.
Jamie: um excuse me, this is confidential
Jude: then why can you use the list?
Jamie: well technically, I can't. Sadie can though.
Jude: okay….
Jamie picked up a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbled something down and handed the paper to Jude.
Jamie: there you go
Jude: oh my gosh you are my HERO Jamie Andrews!
Jamie: what can I say? OH! And make sure that NOBODY finds that address. I can only imagine what people would do if that got into the wrong hands.
Jude: of course!
She waved and ran off. Jamie sat there and smiled. He leaned back and the swivel chair toppled backwards.
Jude walked through G-Major staring down at the paper. She looked up and saw Patsy recording through the glass in one of the studio doors. Jude smiled and stuffed the paper into her jean pocket. She opened the door and walked inside. Kwest was working switches as she sang. She finished and Kwest played around with some of the keys. Jude walked up behind him and flipped the "off" button to sound.
Jude: and just in case……..
She pulled off his headphones and unplugged them.
Kwest: what are you doing?
She smiled and walked into the soundproof booth, his headphones in hand. She shut the door behind her.
Jude: Patsy, hey
Patsy: look who it is
Jude: I was wondering; wanna help me out with something?
Patsy: I'm not much of a helper
Jude: this will be fun
Kwest grabbed the other set of headphones only a foot away from where he was sitting; the headphones that he himself wore before Tommy left. He plugged them in and turned on the sound.
Patsy: what do you want me to do?
Jude: I want you to come with me when I go to Tommy's house. I'm gonna take a little look around the house. See what I can find
Kwest set down his headphones and got up. He opened the door and walked into the booth. Jude turned around, Patsy was already facing him
Jude: Yes Kwest
Kwest Don't think you're getting away with this… (Jude looked at him nervously) … if I'm not there.
Jude let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
