Sunday morning, Tom laid in his bed staring at the ceiling above him. All that was one his mind was Sarah. He smiled just thinking about her. The way she laughed at his stupid jokes. Her beautiful smile, her beauty itself. It hurts him to know what that man did to her. One's father is the one man any girl would trust, but after he raped her, Tom could understand why she wouldn't trust anyone else. One's father should to be someone you look up to and go to him when you feel hurt. He shouldn't hurt his children.

Tom looked over at the clock that read 10:48. He looked back at the ceiling and closed his eyes. A few minutes had pass when he heard someone knocking at the door. He grabbed the sheet and wrapped around him and went to answer the door.

"Jackie?" Tom wondered why she was there. His girlfriend stood there at stared at him. "What are you doing here?" He ran his fingers through his messy hair. Then he saw the anger in Jackie "You said you were going to make me breakfast. I'm early." Tom then moved out of the way to let her walk in. He shut the door and followed behind her.

"What is with you lately? You seem to be forgetting our dates. And you never call me anymore." She yelled at him. Tom just closed his eyes and pinched the arch of his nose. "The phone works two ways." He said heartlessly. Jackie then slapped him across the face. Tom looked at her with as he rubbed his cheek.

"Tom, tell me the truth. Is this, what we had, going to continue? Because if it is not, then we must end it." Jackie said staring at Tom with sadden eyes. Tom sighed, "I don't want this end, Jackie." He said looking at the ground. "Tom…I tried calling you yesterday but you weren't home. So I called Doug to see if you were there. He said they you were driving Sarah home. Then he said 'but that was an hour ago.'"

Tom closed his eyes. "Jackie…" But she cut him off. "You were with Sarah last night. Tom, you fallen for her haven't you." She raised her voice a bit. Tom just looked up at her. "Jackie, all I did was take her and her daughter out for supper. She was going to be alone for the night, so I wanted to take her out. That's all. Nothing happened." Jackie looked at him with disbelief. "So you are telling me that you haven't thought about her? After all she is beautiful." Tom looked down on the ground, he opened his mouth but no noise came out.

"That's what I thought." She said coldly before heading towards the door. Tom ran after her "Jackie, please don't…" She turned around to face him. "Save it, Tom. It's over." Then she stormed out of the house.

Tom walked over slowly to the couch and sat down. He stared at the door for a good minute wondering if she was going to come back. Then he took a deep breath. He really cared for Jackie, even thou when he first met her it didn't work, but in the end he really care for her. But Tom wasn't all sad to see her go, for there was someone her care more for then he ever cared for anyone. Sarah. There was something about her that made him want to spend more time with her, as if he needed her as much as she need him. There're no words to explain how Tom felt for this girl.

Tom leaned back on the couch and turned on the TV.

Tom walked into the chapel the next morning and as soon as he got there he walk right up to Doug. "Hi there buddy." Doug looked at him with a worried look, "Hey Tom?" The younger man wrapped his arm around his partner. "So, Jackie came over this morning and told me she talked to you." Doug smiled with guilt, "Tom I…I'm…" Tom patted him on the back, "It's alright Doug; I was going to break up with anyway." Doug looked up at his friend with a surprised look on his face. "What? You were? Why?" Tom smiled at his friend then looked over to Sarah who was doing paper work.

"Tom, Saturday night you didn't…?" Doug said seriously. Tom laughed at his friend "No, Doug I'm not like you."

"Kelly! Booker! Hanson! My office please." Fuller shouted from his door.

The three quickly stood up and filled into the Captains office.

"I need you three to go to North View High. There have been three brutal rapes in the last six weeks. Last week one of the girls died. They were all found on the school property. All of the girls were cheerleaders and had jock boyfriends. They think that it is just one guy. He is a loner and has a thing for the popular girls in school. Booker, you are good loner type go in first and watch look for this guy and see if you can get close to him. A few days after Tom and Sarah will come in as a couple. Now Sarah you are going to be the target, so be careful. Tom you will be there for her back up."

At the end of the day, only four people were left in the chapel. Judy and Harry were arguing about politics again while Tom and Sarah were doing paper work. Tom looked up at Sarah who was concentrating on her work. Once he was finally done he went over to Sarah's desk. "Is you car finished at the shop?" He asked her as she looked up at him. "Yeah, It should be done now. I will just to the bus." Tom shook his head "How about I give you a ride?" Sarah smiled "Sure."
On the way to the shop Tom glanced over at Sarah, who seemed a little uneasy. "Are you alright?" He asked her. She turned her head and looked at him "Yeah, I'm fine." Tom didn't believe her "Worried about the case?" Sarah sighed "Is it that obvious?" Tom just smiled. "I'm…it's just I don't want it to happen again." Tom looked over to her then back on the road "I be there the whole time. I won't let the creep touch you." Sarah smiled at Tom with relief.
