A/N- HEY GUYS! Welcome to the sixth chapter of Halloween Thief… where questions could be revealed… or will still make you wait for more… brought to you by Taylor and Alyss Mei! Haha, liked our intro? Yeah, well I'm pretty sure you were all kind of waiting for this chapter! So it could be a little unpredictable! Haha, anyway, hope you guys like it! PLEASE REVIEW, we would love some feedback, so we can make our stories even better in the future! THANKS!

IMPORTANT: Okay, since I left you guys off with no part two, I'm going to start with part 1 being in Jerry's point of view and Part Two being Kim's POV. This is just the all the kid's reaction to the fact that Jack got arrested. Even Marcus's reaction. I don't really do Eddie's POV because he's like a flat character in the show. They don't really show any traits of him on the show, other than fact that he likes eating. So I can only do it with Jerry and Milton, because of their multiple traits shown in the show. But you'll see how Eddie feels about this.

ENJOY THE CHAPTER! :D

Part 1: Jerry's POV

As soon as Officer what's-Her-face said that Jack was actually under arrest, my heart stopped for a few seconds. Well, not literally, since I'm pretty sure I would be dead. I think that's what Milton said…Anyway, you get the point. Jerry Martinez was in SHOCK, man!

It couldn't be Jack…How could it be Jack… He would never… I believe in my bro, he would never do such a thing! I mean, he's been working with Kim to catch that thief, he was so determined to find him. There's no way he could've done that! He's too good a friend! I had to step in… I mean I can picture myself going to juvenile detention (or, admittedly, even jail), because of my swag-bad-boy attitude…but not Jack! And what's going to happen to Jack and Kim's thing? If Jack goes to jail for the rest of his life, they're never going to get married, or worse… ADMIT THEIR FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER! I walked up to Jack with the Milton, Eddie and Marcus following me.

"Yo Lady-Cop!" I said, extending my hand so the officer couldn't clasp the handcuffs. Jack was still frozen in place, as well as Kim. I ushered her up so she could help.

"What did you call me?" She glared directly into my eyes, doing her best attempt at a stare-down. Nope, it didn't scare me one little bit.

"You can't take Jack to prison," I announced.

"YEAH!" Milton and Eddie chanted, backing me up.

"He's too good of a friend of ours to steal that!"

"YEAH!"

"Even Milton and Eddie wouldn't do that, because they're too loser-ish."

"YE- Wait what?" Milton and Eddie screamed, glaring at me. Ha, ha, I had to put that in there.

Kim scowled and shoved me aside to stare at the cop. Her eyes flickered to Jack.

"Officer Collins, please don't take Jack to jail! He never did that! He was with me the whole time! He would never even think about stealing something, especially something that he and we all love… and that's Karate. He'd never let us down like that…. He'd never let me down." Jack and Kim started staring in each other's eyes…see? I told you they are in LOVE!

The Officer's eyes softened. AW! I thought to myself. What a happy ending!

"Well…" The officer said looking at Jack's panicked eyes.

"Wait!" Marcus shouted, rising from his seat. "I have to say, I object!"

"What are you doing?" I hissed at Marcus. He shot me an evil smile, and I knew this was some sort of ghostly revenge.

"See, I actually got a tape recording of what Jack has to say, PROVING that he is indeed guilty for taking the papers!"

What? A tape recording? What the…?

"Marcus… I thought you were our friend." Milton said.

"Yeah, you should be on our side!" Eddie said.

"Oh, I will always be your little friend, my boy," Marcus said, slightly patronizing. "But I have to do what's right," He handed the police officer the CD and she put it in the teacher's computer.

"I-took-the-lease-agreements-and-the-certificates-and-awards. I'm-the-thief. No-one-knows." The words were scratchy and pitched unevenly...but it sounded like…

"Jack," Marcus finished for me. "I heard Jack say this, and I had to record it. He blackmailed me… he said that if I showed this to anyone he would kill me…. But I had to what's right."

I heard off-beat clapping from the back of the room. It was…

"Arthur? Truman?" Eddie said in shock.

"Excellent work!" Arthur said. "Wow, you are so brave… but I have NO idea who you are!"

"Nice job… whatever your name is!" Truman said, half-heartedly.

"I NEVER THREATENED YOU!" Jack growled, as the police officer clasped the handcuffs onto his hands. "That's a fake! I never said that! Marcus, please!"

"I'm afraid I had to do this. It's out of my hands." Marcus said, not sounding the least bit sorry.

I couldn't believe what was happening. How could Jack say that? It sounded so weird and unnatural. But…he would never! I have to still believe in him… but how did Marcus get him to say that?

"Yeah, uh I'm going to have to go with the British Boy." The Lady-Cop said.

"It's out of my hands. And that sure sounded like you. We're taking you to the police station."

"No!" Kim said. "You can't!" She looked like she was about to cry, but managed to keep her confident look. Oh Kim… you're hiding your feelings way too much.

"Kim, I'm afraid I have no choice. Unless there's evidence that proves that Jack is innocent, he's going to be in jail. C'mon Jack!" She put handcuffs on him and shoved him out of the classroom. Ms. Francis rushed behind them in panic and confusion.

"Jack!" We all called out. We looked at Marcus who looked like he wanted to scream with victory. I looked at the Milton and Eddie, who were panic stricken. I looked at Kim and she was ready to burst into tears. Arthur and Truman came up to me.

"Well, we both knew this was going to happen someday," Arthur said.

My hands clenched with anger. "Shut up, man."

"Wait… so Jack's going to jail?" Truman said his voice shaky. Was he actually apologetic?

"Yes! Why say it in a sad way? CELEBRATE!" Arthur exclaimed.

"And how are we going to celebrate?" Truman asked, smiling with force.

"Like this!" He drew his fist back and punched me- hard- in the chest. I stumbled back and heard Marcus and Truman laughing. First Jack is in jail… And now this? Oh, it's on, man!

"That is SO not cool man!" I said. "You asked for it!"

I leaped forward, but he dodged me and flipped me onto a table. Okay, maybe I should spend a little more time on karate!

"Arthur, stop!" I heard Kim say.

"Yeah! Stop!" Marcus said. "I should have been the one!"

I stood up and managed to march up to Marcus, my leg tensing up with each step. "Why would you do that? I thought you were our friend!"

"I am your friend!" Marcus said.

"Marcus!" Milton screamed. "If you were really our friend, you would've defended us and helped prove Jack is innocent!"

"Well, Jack did say those words! You think I lied?"

"Yes!" Eddie said. "Because Jack would NEVER say that!"

"Well, mark my words; he said it, not me." Marcus exclaimed.

"Oh, I'll give you a mark!" Kim said, starting forward. Milton and I barely managed to hold her back. I didn't want to get in trouble, but man, I was itching to see what she would do to that twerp.

Part Two: Kim's POV

Because of what happened to Jack, the school had to close early. For some kids, it would've been the best thing that ever happened to them, because school wasn't going to reopen for another day. But for me, I wanted to cry. I was parent-less, karate-less….

Jack-less.

I was worried. Jack doesn't deserve to be in jail. He didn't do anything! He's so loyal, and thoughtful and kind and smart and…

WHAT'S YOUR POINT, KIM?

My point is, that even with that fake audio tape, he shouldn't be in the police department, answering questions or whatever. I decided to go to Rudy's place, and assure him that we haven't caught that thief, yet. I trust Jack, and I know he wouldn't do such a thing. With my skateboard (which just reminds me of Jack) I hurried off to Rudy's house.

Luckily, this time there wasn't any police car. I set my skateboard on the driveway, and repeatedly punched the doorbell.

Rudy swung the door open, an annoyed scowl on his face. "Kim, there's something called patience!" He said letting me in. "I was getting ready to go the police department. They caught the thief! I wonder who it is!"

"Rudy," I said stopping him. "They didn't catch the thief."

"But the police called me… like why would they lie to me? That's crazy talk!" He scoffed, laughing.

"Rudy!" I said. "They arrested Jack!" Rudy stopped, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Come again?" He gasped, staggering back.

"The police found your lease agreement taped underneath Jack's desk! But he didn't do it!" I said quickly so Rudy wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Wait, so… Jack stole my papers?"

"Did you not even hear what I just said?" I yelled in his face. "He didn't do it! Someone framed him; I know he would never do something as horrible as that! Please Rudy, you have to believe in Jack; he lives by the Wasabi Code… and you should too."

"Kim… I'm sorry I doubted Jack at first…" He said, looking sorry now. "He was the only reason why that dojo still stands. I know he would never do something like that. Let's just go the—"

But before Rudy could finish his sentence, he heard his phone ring. "Rudy's the man, what do you want?" He said. I rolled my eyes.

"Hi, is this Rudy Lawrence?" I heard someone say on the other end. I leaned closer to the phone, but Rudy kept pushing me off.

"Uh, yes," He said confused.

"Hi, Mr. Lawrence, this is Gale from the San Jose Police Department… I'm filling in for your chief Wanda Collins, who had an emergency to take care of… I suggest you come quickly. The thief just fainted. Goodbye now." He simply hung up the phone, and Rudy quickly put it in his pocket.

"Goodbye now? That didn't seem urgent!" Rudy said.

"Seriously? That's what you're worried about? THE TONE OF HIS VOICE?" I screamed. "Jack fainted? What?" I was panicking right now. First Jack's in the slammer, and now he's unconscious? This is so awful! What's going to happen? A bubbling tension rose inside of me…I had never felt so worried about someone so much before in my life. Wait… did I just say I care about Jack? In the other way?

"Here, call the guys and tell them to meet us at the police department. We have to go, and fast!" He said.

"But it's another guy filling in for Officer Collins!" I said. "They won't even let us look at Jack!"

"We'll just have to try. Call Jack's mom, too. She's going to want to hear this." I quickly punched in the numbers on my phone, dialing in Milton's number first, as we both walked into Rudy's car to drive to the police station.

"Milton!" I said, relieved to hear his voice as he picked up. "Tell Jerry and

Eddie to meet me and Rudy at the police station…. It's me Kim! How did you not know it was….okay no time to explain just tell them to come…and you too! Okay, okay later," I said hanging up. I turned to Rudy.

"How did he not know it was me on the phone?" I said.

"Well, your voice does sound like a—"

"DUDE!" I said, giving him a warning not to say what my voice sounded like at the moment.

"Let's go!" He said, gesturing me to get in the car, over casually. I rolled my eyes, and sat in the car. I dialed in Jack's Mom's number… I don't think this call would make her happy.

"Hello?" I heard a lady speak through the phone.

"Um, is this Mrs. Anderson?" I asked in a high pitched tone.

"Yes, who is this?" She said a little confused.

"Hi, this is Kim Crawford, I'm a friend of Jack," I said.

I could tell her mood changed instantly. "Oh, Kim! Hi, so nice to talk to you. Jack's told me so much about you. He seriously wouldn't stop talking about you." She laughed. I laughed weakly along with her… but I was a little happy on the inside… Jack talks about me? Wow…. That's so…

Yeah, yeah meanwhile your boyfriend is in JAIL so I suggest you cut to the chase, Kim.

Ugh, oh yeah. "Mrs. Anderson, there's something I need to tell you about Jack," I began, talking slowly.

"What happened? Is he okay?" Oh, this was going to be harder than I thought.

"Jack's been arrested…" I said slowly.

There was no reply for a while. Then, she spoke. "Wait…. What?"

"Jack's in the police department now… he was framed for robbery. We just got a call saying that he fainted. We're on our way there."

"What?" She screamed. "You're not joking right? This isn't one of those teenage pranks is it?"

"No it's not!" I exclaimed, hoping my honesty would convey through the phone.

"He was framed, Mrs. Anderson… meet us at the San Jose Police Department."

"I'm on my way." She said, and hung up.

"What did she say?" Rudy asked, as he turned into the parking lot of the police department.

"She's on her way… I don't think she took that very well…" I said, sinking lower in the front seat.

"What, you think she'll be happy that her son's in jail? Yeah Kim, I'm also surprised that she didn't take that very well!" He eyed me sarcastically.

"Just shut up and drive!" I barked, crossing my arms. Rudy parked in front of the department, and we both got out of the car, and into the building. We entered in and saw a bald man who was sitting in his chair…sleeping.

"Um… sir?" I said getting closer to him. Instead of replying with words, the police officer just continued snoring like there was no tomorrow. I was getting irritated. "Rudy, this idiot won't wake up!"

"Relax… I got this!" Rudy said, walking forward the way Jerry did- he called it 'swag' (we called it stupid). "WAKE UP!" He screamed.

"Miley Stewart is Hannah Montana!" He screamed as he got up. "Wait… did I just give out the secret?"

I ignored the fictional comment. "Hi, my name's Kim, and this is Rudy… we're looking for Jack Anderson."

"Jack? Oh, right I called you to know that he fainted… he's over there." He pointed to a jail cell in the far corner, and we saw Jack collapsed on the cot. Rudy and I ran over to him.

"Can you please unlock the door?" I asked frantically, rattling on the bars.

"Ugh, fine… but no funny business, alright?" He stumbled over lazily and pulled out a huge key ring. "Thanks for making me getting up and walk all the way here!"

"Are all police officers lazy?" I asked annoyed.

"We're usually hyper and active at night… might be our special Midnight Coffee, I don't know," He said unlocking the door. Rudy and I literally burst inside the room to see Jack. Rudy and I knelt beside him and started shaking him vigorously.

"Jack… Jack… please, wake up!" I said shaking him. But it was no use. He didn't move a muscle.

"C'mon, buddy! Wake up!" Rudy came in. Again, it was no use. I felt like crying….why wouldn't Jack wake up?

"You don't think he's…" I started.

"No… he's still breathing…" Rudy said. "Come on, Jack…you gotta get up! YOU GOTTA GET UP!"

"Rudy… it's not going to work this time!" I said.

"Hi… I'm looking for my son, Jack Anderson!" I heard a frantic voice. The lady rushed in, and I finally saw who it was. She had the same shade of brown hair, and brown eyes as Jack did. She seemed a little young for someone with a fourteen-year-old son… but I knew who she was.

"Mrs. Anderson?" I asked. She looked like she was about to start bawling.

"Hi Kim," She said. "Is he okay?"

"He's not waking up," Rudy said.

I saw Mrs. Anderson's face brighten up. "And uh… who are you?"

"Oh, I'm…" He looked up at her, and his eyes softened. "Ru…Ru..."

"That's Rudy," I said irritably finishing his sentence. "He's our sensei."

"Well, hello there," Jack's mom said, smiling cordially and adjusting her hair. I almost gagged in disgust.

"Uh… Jack's still passed out here!" I said, pointing at Jack. His Mom's face immediately switched from "in love" to "worried". She knelt beside Jack, with tears running down her rosy cheeks.

"Jack… please… please, wake up!" she said.

And surprisingly…it worked…with a little screaming…

(Jack's POV)

I didn't know what was happening, but I'm pretty sure I was dreaming. The last actual thing I remember is Officer Collins shaking her head in disappointment, while I was behind…bars. Now I seem to be living a nightmare.

The scene blurred into my head. I was standing in the center of a park, which looked oddly familiar. Children were giggling and riding on swings, sliding on slides and just running around. I was walking around the park confused, when I saw an old man dropping his things and muttering in frustration. I rushed to help him up with his things.

"Let me help you, mister," I said, picking up his things. He didn't reply, but

I still bent and collected his items. Wait…was that a karate medal? I looked up into his face and stumbled back in horror and shock. I knew who this was.

"G-g-granddad?" I stammered

He smiled and stepped forward. I wanted to hug him and start bawling, but I restrained myself. I'm a tough guy... and tough guys don't do that.

"Jack," He said, resting his hands on my shoulders. "You've grown, my dear boy." He walked around the park and looked at the little kids. "Do you remember this place?"

I chuckled. "Yeah," I said, smiling. "You used to take me to the park every day when I was little…and…you…taught me….karate." The pieces were all falling into place. This was why Granddad dragged me to the park every single day. This was why he always made me watch all those old Bobby Wasabi movies.

"I see you realize my purpose now. And, I'm proud to say it worked perfectly.

Look how far you've become." He gave me a hug… and despite my toughness…I hugged him back, tears trickling down my face. "I'm so proud of you, Jack.

You're doing so many wonderful things, helping your dojo and all. You've done great."

"Granddad," I said pulling away. "Am I… dead?"

He chuckled. "You're not dead, my son, just passed out. You took the jail thing very bad."

"Well yeah, because I went to JAIL!" I screamed. "But granddad…why'd you leave me?"

"Everyone has to leave at their time," He said. I hated it when he went all wise and never answered my questions directly. "I don't control when my time comes, Jack."

"But you left me all alone!" I said. "You were almost like dad. He already left me…my heart broke when you left me too."

"Jack…" He said coming closer to me. "How long I really stay, depends on you. I'll always be with you, Jack. You just have to remember me."

"I always will. You helped me achieve big things. I don't think I could repay you for that." I said.

"Oh…but seeing you so successful and happy mean that my job is done." He said, but this time backing away.

"Wait…where are you going?" I said, trying to step closer. Every step I took forward, he would take one back.

"Jack…this is goodbye," He said. "Help is on the way."

I widened my eyes. "Granddad!"

The vivid colors in the park started growing too bright and I clutched my head in pain. The park started fading away and little black dots danced at the edges of my vision. Faintly, as if in the back of my head, I heard people screaming…
