Tom and Sarah had it all planned out and they hated it. Sarah had to become someone she would hate, one of the popular girls in school and everyone wanted to be. Tom, too, hated being a jock, but it was the assignment to find the rapist. Tom hated it as much as putting Sarah into danger.
After the 'couple' left the principal's office they started walking down the hall with their heads held high and a load of confidence. Tom slipped his hands in to Sarah's as they walked, She turned her head and looked at him and gave him a smile.
They saw Booker standing with some loner type guy, they instantly knew that was they guy that Sarah had to make fall head over heel for her.
Tom stopped Sarah and led her over to some lockers and pushed her against them. Then his lips found hers. He stopped for a second, as she looked at him with a shock but approving gaze. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him once more.
Booker standing by the lockers across from them was shock at what he was seeing. He couldn't believe what Tom just did. He wasn't sure if it was all show or it was a really genuine kiss between the two. To him it looked so real.
Denise looked at the teen beside him, Crag, the one who the suspected to be the rapist. He saw that he was gawking at the couple. "Can't you believe that? Who in the right mind make out in front of everyone?" He put his books in his locker and looked at Denise. "Lets go."
Friday night, the whole gang sat around the chapel discussing the case. "We have been there for a week now, and nothing has happened. I am so tired trying of being one of those uptight girls that I used to be mocked by when I was in school." Tom nodded his head the whole time in understanding "I hate it too." Booker started laughing. Everyone turned towards him. Tom giving him a confused look, "What was that?" Booker just smiled "Well, I'm thinking you not hating it as much as you say you are." Then everyone looked at Hanson. "What?" he said, before he smiled weakly "I just hate being the bratty kid, just like Sarah said."
"Anyway, are you anywhere near ending this?" Fuller asked. Booking shook his head "We can't do anything until Crag makes his move. Now the three girls were found after football games. So I think this so be our main focus." Sarah sighed and looked down at the reports "We already been to one. Nothing happened."
"Maybe you need to leave alone. So he can follow you." Doug suggested. Tom winced at the thought of Sarah alone "It could work, but I'm out on the field, how can I help." Judy looked up at Tom "Booker is there too." Tom looked over at Booker who gave him a sly smile.
"Alright guy, you doing good. Just keep with it." The captain said standing up. "So what's the plan for tonight, the pub?" Harry suggested as he stood up. Everyone nodded their heads, except for Tom and Sarah.
"I have to go home. I have a kid to put to bed." Sarah said as she stood up. Tom stood up right after "Yeah, and I'm giving her a ride home. Plus I'm tired." They grab their reports and left the building.
All eyes where on Booker, as he shrunk into his chair "What?"
Tom and Sarah drove in a comfortable silence. Soft music was playing on the radio. They were to blocks from Sarah's home when she stopped Tom. "Wait. I don't want to go home." Tom pulled that car over and looked at her "Where do you want to go?" Sarah leaned in a kissed him passionately on the lips. She backed up at looked at him; he had a goofy grin on his face "My place." Sarah nodded her head.
Slowly, Sarah opened her eyes and let the light in. She looked to her side and saw an empty bed. She stretched her arms above her head and sat up in the bed. She got out and opened a near by drawer and pulled out a white sweater. Then when she walked out of the room and she is filled with the smell of fresh coffee.
Tom stood in the kitchen cooking breakfast when arms wrap around him. He smiled and turned around. He gentle kissed Sarah lips then smiled at her "Just in time. Breakfast is ready."
Sarah sat down at the table while Tom poured her a cup of coffee. Then he places a plate in front of her. Then he poured himself some coffee and brought his plate over.
Sarah looked up at Tom and gave him a loving smile. She stood up and took his plate and her own to the sink. "No." Tom said quickly and followed her "Your not allowed to do dishes." Sarah turned around "Are you going to tell me what I can't do Officer Hanson?" Sarah said with authority. Tom sighed, "No, I won't tell you what to do." Sarah smiled with victory and leaned in a kissed him "Good, you can dry."
After they did the dishes they sat down on the couch a cuddled, while looking over the reports. Tom played with Sarah's hair while she read out loud. "Three rapes in six weeks. All of them at home football games. All three girls were alone behind the bleachers. All these girl's boyfriends were stars in the school. They were the best at the game. But what does this lead too?" Tom looked at her "Maybe I have to become the next star. But what does Crag have to do with this."
Sarah quickly flipped through the charts for a few minute and Tom just watched her, waiting for her to answer. "Nothing." Tom was confused "What?" Sarah looked up at him "He has nothing to do with it. Look here. All three times they were playing against the same team. It is no one from the school. We're looking for players on the other time, trying to make this team weak. What better way then to make a person heart broken! You can't put you whole heart in the game if it is broken." Tom looked down at the reports. "North View High is the leading in points in football, this team, St. Francis is just behind them." Sarah said watching Tom the whole time. He looked up at her. "God, your smart." Sarah blushed slightly and gave him the cutest smile. He leaned in a kissed her.
Then there was a loud knock on the door. Tom leaned back on the couch. "I hate people knowing where I live. I just want peace." Sarah smiled slightly and straddled him and gave him a kiss.
The door swung open and Doug walked in on them. "Why didn't you…oh?" Doug stopped when he saw them looking at him.
Sarah got off of Tom and sat on the cough. Tom stood up and marched up to Doug and took the key from his hand. "Get out." Doug looked at him with confused eyes. Doug, get out." He turned around and headed out the door with Tom following behind him.
"Doug what are you doing here?" Tom said once they reached the hallway. "Just wanted to see if you wanted to go throw the football, seeing you're on that case and all. But I guess you're busy, and you must be tired." Hanson shot him a dirty look. "Look Doug, you can't tell Fuller." Doug nodded his head. Then Tom sighed and looked back in his apartment, he hesitated for a bit. "You know Doug, I need some pointers in football. I need to become the next North View High star."
