" Wait you arrested who?" Asked Irving as he sat in his office on the phone Morales who had just arrested one Jennifer Mills for assaulting an officer at the scene of what was suppose to be a peaceful protest. " Alright bring her in i want to speak with her" he said slamming his phone back down on the desk. He had been just about to head home after working a double shift when he got the call and now he had to figure out a way to keep Jenny out of any real trouble. Not that she couldn't handle being in any more trouble but it could be any day now that the horseman came after hem and they had to be ready for anything that he threw at them and it wouldn't be much help if she was locked up.. again.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
" Captain?" said Morales stepping out from behind the door frame. He looked up and saw that most of the bottom half of his face was covered in dry blood.
" What the hell happened to you?" he asked trying to reframe from laughing because he knew exactly what had happened to him. Morales just looked up before he pulled Jenny into view answering the captains question. " Thank you" he said waving Morales away and with a slight nod he backed away closing the door behind him. " SIT" he demanded. " Care to explain?". She looked up from her handcuffs and was surprised to see that he wasn't totally fuming with anger in fact he was actually smiling.
" Well i was going about my personal business" she said before he cut in.
" Says here you were taking part in what was suppose to be a peaceful protest" he said a slight smile tugging at his lips at the last part.
" Tomato tomato, anyway as i was going about my daily business he grabbed me by the arm and said he wanted to talk to me about Icky and Abbie i told him that if he didn't let me go that i would punch him and he didn't let me go so.. i got to do something i have wanted to do for a long time" she said proudly. They were both silent while she waited on his reaction.
" Your just lucky i find him extremely annoying" he said standing up from his chair and grabbing his jacket.
" So you aren't gonna arrest me?" she asked although she knew he wouldn't.
" No but i have something a lot better in mind" he said a sneaky smile on his face " Now lets go". She followed him out of the precinct and tried to think of what he could possibly be planning but she couldn't think of a damn thing worse than going back to tarry town.
" You are so lame" she said her voice higher than normal as they stepped out into the car park.
" Oh so you wont mind if i tell your sister about you being arrested.. again?" he teased.
" Not a bit" she said as confidently as she could pull off, she really didn't want her sister finding out.
" Alright then get in the car we are gonna go see her right now" he said.
" wait now? they are having a movie night" she wined.
" well aren't you so rude for causing this interruption to movie night" he said " now get in the damn car". She looked down at him sitting in the car and realised there was no chance she was gonna win.
" FINE" she moped sitting down in the car and crossing her arms.
After the very short very silent ride from the precinct to Abbie's apartment Jenny and Frank made their way up to her door step before knocking.
" Ugh how hard is it to answer a door" She Jenny angrily hitting the door a few more times.
" Don't you have a key i mean you live here" said Irving.
" Oh yeah" she said pulling a key from her pocket and sliding it into the lock. " Abbie? Abbie are you here?" she called.
" Found them" he whispered.
" Why are you whis.." she said before her speech was cut off by laughter.
Abbie and Ichabod had fallen asleep on the couch and Abbie had ended up with her head resting on his chest while Ichabod had ended up with his arm around her waist.
She pulled her phone from her pocket and she and Irving took photos until they were satisfied they had gotten one from every angle.
" Should we wake them up?" Asked Jenny as she put her phone back into her pocket.
" Well we came here for a reason" He said."
" Right um maybe we should just wait till they wake up" she said nervously realising there might be a way out.
" No chance" he said with a smile. She looked from the couch to Irving.
" Fine, but your doing it not me" she said
" Are you sure that this is a good idea i mean isn't there a thing that you shouldn't wake up people who have fought in a war?" Asked Irving nervously looking at Jenny, he had a bad feeling that if he woke Crane up then he would get tackled to the ground.
" Oh come on get out of the way" she said pushing him out of her path and kneeling down beside the couch. He stepped further out of her way and took an extra step just for good measure. Jenny leant right next to Ichabods ear and took a deep breath.
" CRANE" she screamed at the top of her lungs jumping back expecting him to sit up and knock her over but he didn't even flinch and either did Abbie. She looked back to Irving who was just as confused as she was.
" Wow they heavy sleepers?" he asked.
" No" she said " She wakes up when i get a glass of water ".
" Huh, go again i wanna get it on video" he said pulling his phone from his pocket. Jenny repositioned herself next to Cranes ear and took another deep breath. " CRANE" she screamed again but still nothing, not even a murmur. She repeated his name another three times before trying something else. She leaned impossibly close to his ear but this time she whispered something so quietly that not even Irving could hear it
" Crane Abbies in trouble". This time he woke up, sitting up and nearly taking Jenny down. He looked so confused and the worry was clear on his face as his eyes searched the room no doubt looking for Abbie, He relaxed back into the couch once he saw Abbie lying beside him looking just as confused as he.
She hadn't meant to fall asleep but sometime in the third movie she had. But tonight she didn't dream of waking up still in purgatory with no hope of rescue, no this one was much worse. She dreamt she was riding a white horse and there was someone sitting behind but she wasn't sure who it was.. not yet at least. She looked up but all she could see was darkness confirming her suspision that it was after dark. They for a while before she saw light off in the distance it looked like it was coming from a house and as they got closer she realised where she was. She had expected them to stop as they approached the old cabin but instead they continued to ride deeper into the forest. Then and there she realised it wasn't Crane behind her, she tried to turn around but she couldn't move it was like she was tied up but there was nothing around her, it was then that a hand came forward grabbing the reins of the horse and pulling them back and she instantly knew who it was, the red military coat was a dead give was riding with the horseman. They horse came to a slow stop in a clearing, that's when she heard it. " Leftenant " it was distant but she heard it and knew who was calling for her but so did the horseman. " Excellent " he said under his breath as he jumped down from the horse. She turned to see what he was doing but before she saw him she felt it, a soaring pain across her chest. She looked down at her chest and saw a gushing flow of blood poring from her wound. She looked up her eyes wide with fear she was dying and she knew. " Crane" she screamed as loud as she could as she fell from the horse. As she hit the ground she saw him standing on the other side of the clearing tears rolling down his face " Abbie " he whispered.
She woke up hoping she was alone, preying for some peace and quiet while she recovered from her terrifying experience but instead as she opened her eyes she realised she was surrounded. She had woken up feeling like she was being shaken and saw her sister and Irving standing across the room smiling and Irving had a phone out no doubt videoing them. She registered a warmth beside her and turned her head to see that she had fallen asleep and ended up lying on Cranes chest. He looked down at her the confusion clear in his eyes and she was sure she had the same look, They stared at each other for a while just trying to figure out the situation before she turned her head to face her sister not pushing herself up off Crane just yet.
" What the hell is going on" she said staring straight into her sisters eyes " and turn that camera off".
" Yes Jenny what is going on here" said Irving mockingly.
" We were just you know waking you up because" She turned around and gave Irving a death stare " SOMEONE insisted he tell you something immediately". Abbie turned her attention to Irving who had since put his phone back into his pocket.
" Hey do not try pinning this on me your the one who got arrested for assaulting an officer OF THE LAW" he said empathising the last part for dramatic purposes.
" WHAT" Abbie said her gaze shooting back to her sister. " HE BETTER BE KIDDING".
" If you must know it was self defence" said Jenny.
" SOMEONE BETTER TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OR SO HELP ME" She said.
" I for one think this can wait till the morning seeing as you two are well" she said waving her hand around them " cozy". She turned back to Irving and they both laughed. Abbie looked at them then to Crane who had kept his mouth shut the entire time and took a deep breath.
" Fine" she said and Irving let out a relieved breath thinking he was clear to go but then she kept talking " but only if we watch a movie" Irving looked up to Abbie he had been expecting a lot worse that was until " That crane chooses " she finished her sentence with a smile.
" I guess that could be cool" said Jenny sitting down in the chair she had long since reserved as hers.
" Yeah whatever " said Irving sitting in the chair on the other side of the couch.
It took Crane half an hour to choose a movie and by that time Abbie was already starting to fall asleep but she kept trying to push through, to make it till the end of the movie but it was no use and within twenty minutes of the movie starting she had already drifted to sleep again and again like before she ended up with her head on his chest. Jenny and Irving were too bored to notice while the movie played but once it ended they saw what had happened and immediately they tried to take photos but before they could Crane had already jumped up with Abbie in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. Jenny and Irving looked at each other neither of them had any idea what was going on.
" Hold on i'll figure out" said Jenny stepping up from her chair and following him into the room.
