Trouble with a Capital T (A/N: Sorry about the old mix-up): Chapter 2
Jack couldn't move. Neither could Will. He just held on tighter to his friend and prayed. He wasn't that religious but knew he was good enough to be listened to at this moment.
Just then, the door slowly opened and Jack buried Will's head into his chest.
"I'll go see who it is, stay here and don't move!" shaking he stood up and walked toward the door praying as well. "OH god, just help my friend, I don't care what happens to me."
Even he was shocked at what he was thinking. He wasn't actually the type to say things like that. It just felt true.
The door opened just as Jack was halfway past the couch and Will crouched lower as though the ground would eat him up.
"Oh my god, Poodle! You look as though I'm a stalker or something! My god!" Karen said.
"CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR!" Jack and Will screamed at the same time.
"Oh, good lord! You guys are even starting to sound alike. Jackie? Are you trying to steal Grace's husband?" Karen gently scolded.
"No, Karen. He'd only be so lucky. I'm trying to protect him. Karen?" Jack seemed worried again.
"…HAHAHAHAH! Poodle, that's the funniest thing I ever heard! That's like saying poor people can defend themselves when I used to pay driver to attempt to run them over. It's just not possible sweetie! So what's going on? What's happening? Who's trying to kill Wilma?" Karen said walking to the couch and watching Will.
"It's one of his clients."
"No Jack, the son of a client. I'm pretty sure now that the guy doing it is a relative because I saw him in the courtroom but it wasn't the client."
"But, don't you think that it would be the actual client? Why would someone else do it?"
"Jackie, I appreciate the help, but I've been going through it in my mind and I don't want you involved. It's good help, I just would rather if you would please go and take Karen with you, okay? I'll wait for the…"
"Fuck you Will!" Jack stood up. "I didn't have to get my ex-lover over to help but I did. Far as I'm concerned, that guy wants me dead too because I am not going to let him get to you before he goes through me!" Jack was rather upset and shaking.
Will stood up too and threw his arms around Jack, Karen just looked around disgusted.
"Good lord, could you 2 Mary's please go into a room if you are going to do that?"
They both ignored her and enjoyed each other's embrace.
Meanwhile, a girl in her thirties was standing outside trying to find her key because she didn't know the door was open. The elevator opened and revealed an officer.
"Ma'am? Do you know a Will Truman?" The officer asked the redhead.
"Uh like yeah, Officer Yummy!" Grace said seductively…as seductively as she could.
"Ma'am, can I see your ID?"
"No but I can give you my phone number. Oh, you're serious?" she started digging through her purse while the officer got out his…
"OH MY GOD! I'm sorry, was I too slow? You aren't a real officer, are you?"
"Very deductive. Now, tell me where Truman is and I won't kill you! I know you know bitch!" he said grabbing her shoulder.
"Fine, that is my friend's apartment. We're supposed to meet Will there shortly, if you'd
go in with me?" Grace said saying the Lords' prayer in her head.
"Fine, but if you are lying to me, you are going to pay!" he said practically throwing her toward the door.
"Okay, please just don't shoot me before then!" she said walking a little ways. She turned the corner then 'accidentally' dropped her ID. "Oops! Can you get that for me?"
"Better not pull a fast one, bitch!"
"No, I won't!" just then, before he lifted his head she kneed it and ran past Wills' place screaming, "Help!"
Utterly pissed, the guy didn't hear her screaming and was chasing after her. "Get back here!" he shot his gun off and barely missed her getting him even more pissed.
She ran down the stairs and prayed she could out run him and his gun.
Jack was at the door looking into the peephole.
"Karen, please call the police, quick! It's speed dial 3." Jack managed to push out of his nervous mouth.
"All right, I'm on it." Karen said dialing. "Yes, this is Karen Walker-Finster. I need an officer in the car garage of (I don't know the address) the apartment complex at Pennsylvania and 36th. Hurry or I'll have you fired!"
"Is this in regards to William Truman?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, we'll have one of the guards in the building on it. Why is he out of his apartment?"
"Good lord bitch! It's about a crazy blonde lady! She's Will's husband!"
"Isn't he gay?"
"I think so but does it matter? Hurry!" she said hanging up. "Okay, it's out of my hands now."
"Karen, she's a red-head!" Will yelled.
"Karen, I'd ask you to leave but that killer could be outside so just go hide in Will's room and let me handle this." Jack said staring Karen right in the eye and gently leading her to Will's room.
"Poodle? If Wilma wasn't so scared right now I'd let you cop a feel! But instead I'll…" she took a vile out of her cleavage before closing the door behind her.
"Now, we wait and see if my connection comes through." Jack said as he sat on the couch with Will.
And that is all for chapter 2! Bwahahah! I love cliffhangers! What's going to happen in Chap 3? Is Grace going to escape the killer? Is Karen going to ever come out of Will's room? You will only know if you keep coming back (and hopefully my next chapter before 2007)!
