Didn't plan on continuing but hey thought I would since a couple of you asked, sorry it's a pretty short chapter.. So please review. Thanks.
She wasn't quiet enough but Tru looked up too late, she stared into Carrie's gun.
Carrie shrugged then said to her, "You know, it wasn't meant to go down like this. If you'd stayed away for one minute, he wouldn't be dead," she said gesturing at Jack, "Stupid little girl. It would have been one dead body and you've made it into three and you made me kill him!" she said angry.
"I wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Tru said bitterly, although terrified.
Carrie laughed, a harsh laugh, "You know what I find funniest?" she said her fingers still on the trigger, ready to shoot at any moment, "When your dead no one will know it was me and I'm going to comfort Davis, be the only one there for him."
Tru gritted her teeth, "Stay. Away. From. Davis!"
Carrie laughed, "No can do," she started to pull the trigger at the same time Jack whispered, "Tru, Save me!"
Tru 'woke up' sweating, "Thanks Jack," she said to herself, quickly dialling Jack's number.
"Sup?" Jack asked, answering his phone cheerily.
"You're surprisingly happy," Tru said weirded out.
"Always am," Jack said, surprised to hear from her, "What can I do for you? Or did you just want to let me know your resigning?"
"What?" Tru asked confused, why was he so upbeat and arrogantly Jack, could he not? "Jack can you actually remember dying yesterday?"
Jack laughed, "Nice one, Tru. What do you want?"
Tru rolled her eyes, sighing, "We really need to talk, fast! Where are you?"
Jack was surprised to get the call from Tru and wondered why she wanted to see him, not that he had any issues with it of course but he was intrigued.
He smiled as he saw her then walked over to her and sat down at the table, "I have to ask… Why here? It's a kids Pizza Place," Jack asked, she had chose it.
"Because your safe here," Tru said, concern in her voice.
"Touching, Tru, really but I'm not in danger."
Tru shook her head, "You're wrong there. Rewind day… for me anyway."
Jack
looked at her, she didn't look like she was joking, "Ok
spill."
"Yesterday Jensen asked for my help because Carrie
killed him, I don't know why but you found out who it was and
wanted to help me... another of life's unanswered questions," Tru
said hurriedly, pausing, "You went to the morgue and you got shot
instead, I followed. Carrie was about to shoot me when you asked and
I don't know why she was doing it or how you found out but we have
to save Jensen and you now."
"Why would you want to save me?" Jack asked.
"Why would you want to help me?" Tru shot back.
"Fair point," Jack said, "but I highly doubt you'd like to know."
Tru's mind flashed back to how he'd been yesterday: did he actually like her? And even worse did she like him?
Tru tried to clear her mind of those thoughts as she noticed Jack staring at her, waiting for a reply. She shook her head, "OK fine, but we need to stop this: how did you know where to go yesterday? How did you know Carrie was the killer?"
Jack looked at her for a minute then looked away, he couldn't tell her. He'd dreamt of this moment ever since he first fell for her yet he wasn't prepared for this.
"Jack?" Tru said.
"Richard," Jack said almost whispering, looking up at her.
"What?" was pretty much all Tru could manage; Jack had to be messing with her…yet that one word made a lot of things fall into place.
