Tommy walked down the city streets. He couldn't believe what he had just read. Jude seemed to like speed so much. He turned into an alley shortcut when he saw something red twinkle from the ground. Droplets of blood. A few inches away, an id had fallen. he picked it up and studied it. It was Sadie's. He then noticed a bullet about 5 feet away. He quickly stood up, turned, and ran.
Darius:
G-Major is close. We'll stop in and wash your cut
Sadie
just silently nodded. A few minutes later they walked into the lobby.
Darius lead Sadie into the kitchenette. he went into a drawer and
pulled out a paper napkin and ran cold water over it. He put it on
Sadie's knee. The blood quickly absorbed. Sadie let out a whimper.
Darius:
shhh. It's okay. You're safe now.
He
pulled her into a comforting hug.
Sadie:
can i sit on the couch?
Darius:
of course.
He
helped her over and sat down next to her. Sadie looked at him, then
unexpectedly put her arms around him and pulled him into a kiss...
Tommy burst through the Harrison's front door. SADIE! JUDE! SADIE!
Meanwhile upstairs...
Jude:
did you hear something?
Speed:
no
Jude:
I should check.
She
got up and looked own at herself. She was wearing her bra and
underwear. She grabbed a robe and threw it on. She opened the bedroom
door and Spiederman sighed. Downstairs Tommy looked up. He had been
sitting on the couch with his head in his hands
Tommy:
JUDE!
Jude:
Tommy?
Tommy:
oh thank go
Jude:
what's the matter?
She
walked down the stairs and they made their way to each other
Tommy:
its Sadie
Jude:
what?
Tommy:
I was walking. And. and I saw blood on the ground. And a driver's
license, her's. And a bullet.
Jude:
oh my
speed
walked out of Jude's room with his jeans on. He zipped them up and
Jude and Tommy looked up.
Speed:
tom. What are you doing here?
Jude:
it's Sadie. I'm gonna call the police.
She
went into the kitchen to make the call.
While
she was in there, speed gave Tommy a "I'm never gettin' any if
you're still around" stare. Tommy just looked around
uncomfortably
she
returned
Jude:
they said they're on it. Um they also said someone should be here,
incase they come. Speed. Tommy and I are going to look for her. Can
you stay here?
Speed:
yeah. Sure. (He said it quietly)
Jude
ran upstairs and came back down with jeans and a t-shirt on. She
grabbed her jacket and her and Tommy turned to leave
Tommy:
and, uh, put a shirt on
he
smiled and left. Speed threw a pillow at Tommy after he closed the
door.
Jude
and Tommy hopped in the car. Tommy sped off down the street.
Jude:
do you think she's okay?
Tommy:
yeah um I'm sure she is
after
a few minutes of driving Tommy pulled over near an alley.
Jude:
what are we doing here?
Tommy:
it. It happened over there.
He
pointed to the alley
Jude:
oh.
He
started to get out of the car. Jude followed
Tommy:
I figure, if she was okay, she wouldn't have gone too far. She'd
find the closest place that she could go safely.
Jude
looked around a bit.
Jude:
wait a minute
Tommy:
what?
Jude:
g-major is like only a block away
they
looked at each other and started running and calling Sadie's name
both:
SADIE! SADIE!
Jude
:SADES!
They
approached g-major.
Jude:
shouldn't it be dark in there? And wait. How did she get in?
Some
of the lights were on. Tommy and Jude looked at each other and
quietly opened the door. they moved in through the lobby when they
saw two people on the couch, embraced by each other, their lips
locked.
Tommy:
SADIE!
The
two people turned
Jude:
DARIUS?Uh uh uh
Sadie:
Tommy. I can explain.
Tommy:
I don't know if you can. I was worried out of my mind. I saw. I saw
the blood. And and the the bullet and the driver's license.
Sadie:
Tommy. A mugger came and he took everything. The jewelry you gave me,
my purse. He held a gun to my head. And Darius came. The gun went
off. He just barely missed me. Tommy I was so scared.
Tommy:
so that makes it okay? It's okay that I found you here with, with
well Darius?
Sadie:
no. of course not.
Jude
had been silent the whole time. She just looked down with her arms
crossed
Jude
:( in a loud whisper) it wasn't the first time.
Tommy:
what Jude?
Jude:
it wasn't the first time (now in a louder tone)
Tommy:
what are you talking about?
Jude:
I saw them before. In his office. (She looked at Darius in disgust
out of the corner of her eye)
Tommy
had that look of confusion and deep thought on his face
Jude:
I wanted to tell you. i just didn't know how. i thought it was some
sort of weird thing and that that would be the end of it. I was
shocked myself.
Tommy:
so. So this has been some big secret everyone's been hiding from me?
Well that's great. Just great.
He
walked out the other way quickly but manly
Jude:
Tommy! Wait!
She
turned back to Sadie.
Jude:
so what? You're jus gonna let him go? Just like that huh? Well
that's great. I hope you realize how much you hurt him. And you can
let him walk right out that door. See if I care. But I'm not.
She
took off after Tommy calling his name.
