A/N: I don't own Glee or 21 Jump street

Chapter 2

Rachel looks over the comments of her latest video upload and has to steel herself against the harsh words. Rachel knows that if she wants to make it in show business then she'll have to develop a thick skin. Rachel replays Doug's words from earlier and smiles a little. The ambitious brunette is not used to having someone actually talk to her without ulterior motives.

She's been burned by Finn before but something about Doug is different. He and his brother don't seem to care about cliques and popularity. She was pleasantly surprised to see him sit at the glee club's lunch table. The diva was a little sad that he hadn't wanted to join glee but was flattered that he wanted to hear her sing one of these days.

Rachel finishes up her homework early. The overachieving beauty must always be prepared for her classes. Rachel has a very detailed ten year plan complete with color coded graphs and pie charts. The pretty chocolate haired diva briefly wonders how Doug McQuaid might fit into those plans.

Rachel has always been one to be alone but never lonely until now. Her small circle of friends accepts her abrasive personality when others would treat her poorly. Rachel was glad for that but having gone through high school without a single romance that was genuine was upsetting to the tiny diva.

Sure she and Noah dated briefly but it can hardly be thought of as a relationship when both of them wanted someone else. Finn had only wanted to get her back into glee when he asked her out. Then he slept with Santana and expected her to act as if he hadn't done anything wrong. And Jesse…well Jesse turned out to be the biggest liar of them all. His betrayal still stings.

Rachel wants something real. She wants someone that actually wants to be with her and for no other reason than they like her. The tiny diva sits in front of her vanity and pulls her brush through her chocolate colored tresses and makes a plan. Rachel always gets what she sets her sights on and right now Rachel wants Doug McQuaid.

After the debriefing in the Capt.'s office Doug heads back to his loft. He hasn't talked to Dorothy all day but he's pretty sure she won't be there. The young cop tiredly tosses his helmet and backpack in the general direction of the living room. He's too tired to care where they end up.

Doug looks around his loft and he knows that Dorothy is gone. Her stuff is missing and for a moment Doug can feel the familiar pang of loss he always gets when she leaves him. This time he knows she's not coming back. Dorothy wants to change Doug into the man she wants but the broad shouldered cop is happy with the way he has always been.

Doug takes a quick shower and fixes himself some dinner. He checks his alter ego's facebook page and sees a friend request from Rachel. Doug smiles and accepts her request. For some reason the tiny diva is getting under his skin. He's never met anyone like her. She's fragile and sweet but tough as nails to go through all that bullying and still be able to hold her head up high. He also has a thing for the bossy types.

The front door opens and Dorothy walks in the loft. She looks around sadly and knows that this just might be it for her and Doug. The young cop looks at his high school sweetheart and he knows it would be so easy to ask her not to leave but he knows that it would be a mistake.

"What ya doin' here Dorothy?" Doug doesn't mean the words to sound as bitter as they do but he can't keep dancing this dance with her. Something needs to change.

"I just came for the rest of my things. My brother Pauly is downstairs waiting for me." Dorothy grabs a large black duffel bag from the coat closet and turns to leave.

"When you walk out that door there's no comin' back. I'm done." Doug folds his long arms across his broad chest and steels himself against the pain in his chest.

"What happened to you'll always take me back. You promised me that no matter what you would always take me back." Dorothy tries to keep the tears from her deep brown eyes.

"I can't keep being second best to you. You cut out of here every time you think you found someone better. Then when it doesn't work out you come back here expectin' me to just take you back with open arms. I can't do it anymore Dorothy." Doug runs a large hand roughly through his shaggy brown hair. He's so frustrated by this situation that he can't keep his anger in check.

"You know Doug if you would just grow up and let go of the past maybe we could move forward. You spend your life reliving your high school glory days. I need a man Douglas not a boy." Dorothy's own temper starts to rise. She and Doug are both too stubborn and hot tempered to ever agree on anything.

Doug chuckles humorlessly and shakes his head. "Maybe you're right. Maybe it's time for me to let go of the past. It's time for me to let you go."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Dorothy drops her bag and places her hands on her hips. Doug has always found Dorothy to be even more prettier when she is angry. Something about the fire in her deep brown eyes makes her sweet girly looks more appealing. But right now he just can't seem to get over his anger at how she just keeps expecting him to wait around for her to make up her mind.

"Look, we have been hanging on to this relationship since we were kids. Maybe it's time for us to move on. You need someone I can't be. I need someone that wants me just the way I am." Doug has never been this honest with her before. He's always been too afraid of being alone that he just keeps holding onto something that is not good for either of them.

Dorothy wipes the tears from her cheeks. She knows he's right but a part of her will always love Doug even if she's no longer in love with him. "I'm scared. I don't know how to be without you."

Doug walks over to Dorothy and wraps her in a tight hug. "I'm scared too but we're always gonna be friends. The guy you pick is gonna be lucky to have you and if he hurts you just let me know. I'll kick his ass for you."

Dorothy laughs softly as she pulls away from Doug. She presses her lips this his one last time and both of them can feel the goodbye in the kiss. Dorothy gives him one last small smile before grabbing her bag and leaving behind her high school sweetheart and essentially her past. Doug drops onto his sofa runs a hand through his hair. Instead of the all-consuming pain he usually feels he's overrun with a feeling of relief.

Rachel walks the halls of McKinley high with a new found determination. The glee diva won't let the popular kids bring her down. Most of her excitement is from her desire to see Doug. She was beyond thrilled when Doug accepted her friend request on facebook. It's true that he's a bit unrefined and a bit of a bad boy but something about him just draws Rachel to him.

Rachel frowns slightly when she doesn't see the tall dark haired charmer at his locker. "If you're looking for Doug, he and his brother are in Figgins' office. Second day here and they're already in trouble." Tina smiles softly as she puts the rest of her books in her black messenger bag. Rachel tries to act nonchalant but Tina can tell Rachel has set her sights on the new boy.

"Oh…well thank you Tina for letting me know. I wouldn't want to be late to class. I should get going." Rachel beams an overly bright smile and quickly makes her way down the hall trying to escape the pretty Asian's knowing gaze. The diva is trying to avoid looking like a lovesick school girl.

"You're such a cliché Berry. I mean really…the geeky goody two shoes falls for the bad boy with a heart of gold. I'll save you the trouble. It won't last. You'll drive him crazy with your diva midget attitude." Santana smirks as Rachel abruptly stops in her tracks. The sassy latina seems to always know what to say to get to Rachel.

"It's not like that. I just want to be welcoming to him and his brother. They're new here and don't have many friends. Besides I'm always on the lookout for new talent for the glee club. A well rounded glee club can only enhance my voice and really show off how talented I am." Rachel leaves Santana behind as the Latina devises a way to yet again embarrass the high maintenance brunette.

Will Shuester enters the principal's office and notices his two new students sitting uncomfortably inside. An older African American gentleman is with them. "William please come in and sit down. We have many things to discuss." Figgins seems even more wound up than usual.

"What's going on here?" The curly haired teacher has a feeling something big is about to go down and his glee club will be involved somehow.

"William just please take a seat. Capt. Fuller here will explain everything." Figgins tries to smile reassuringly but is comes off as more of a grimace. The idea of cops undercover in his school does not quite sit well with the older man. It's his job to protect his kids but he feels as if he has been lacking in that department lately.

Will hesitantly sits down and looks to the two silent boys who are watching him curiously. "Ok…you have my attention now. Can you explain to me why I'm here?"

"I'm Capt. Adam Fuller with the Lima police department. These are two of my best officers Doug Penhall and Tom Hanson. I run an undercover program out of the old Jump Street Chapel." Fuller extends his hand to the confused Spanish teacher.

"What? I don't get what is going on here. Undercover officers?" Will is thoroughly confused. The men sitting next to him look like kids. He wasn't sure why the police department would want to send cops into his school.

"Tom and I pose as high school students and try to solve cases involving teens. The recent hate crimes here has the mayor on edge and she wants us to figure out who is behind the attacks." Doug looks at Will and he knows the teacher is at a loss for words.

"Look Mr. Shuester we really need your help. In order for my team to get the answers we need they have to get closer to your students. I need for you to let them join glee club. I'm told that several of your kids have been targets for the bullies. They might have useful information to help solve this case." Capt. Fuller gets straight to the point. He's a no nonsense type of man.

"I don't want my kids getting involved with this. They don't need cops around them interrogating them. They have rights and I don't want them exploited just so the mayor can save face." Will stands abruptly almost knocking over his chair.

"We don't exploit the kids. We are here to protect them. Do you even know the extent of the bullying that is going on around here?" Tom glares at the teacher standing in front of him.

"Kids are throwing slushies at each other. The hockey team threw a freshman in the dumpster like trash. Even some of the cheerleaders locked an unpopular girl in a port a potty and tipped it over. That is just the tame stuff." Tom's voice rises with his anger. He can't believe that the faculty of this school has been turning a blind eye to the real problems here.

"Don't forget about the verbally abusive cheerleading coach. I've never seen a teacher talk to students the way that she does." Doug had been extremely offended when Coach Sylvester had called him the jolly green giant and told him he needed to lose his baby fat. Doug wasn't a small guy but he was pretty sure he was fit enough.

"I…I mean…I know a lot of things are happening but none of our kids here could be responsible for the attacks. Not even the football players would be low enough to hurt Becky or even Blaine and Kurt." Will's stomach is in knots. He truly wants to believe in the good of all the kids here.

"William, we have to let the cops handle this situation. Your kids might hold the key to the busting this case wide open." Figgins turns pleading eyes to his young Spanish teacher.

"Ok…ok. I'll help." Will looks at the relieved face of Figgins and hopes he is doing the right thing.

Rachel neatly sets her books down by her favorite chair in the choir room as she prepares for another day of glee club. The brunette beauty is slightly saddened by the fact that she barely got to see or speak with Doug. Santana had rudely pointed out that he might be avoiding the abrasive beauty.

Rachel flips through some sheet music and tries to enjoy the quite few moments before the rest of the gleeks come trickling in. She hums quietly to herself as she plans out what songs she would like to present to Mr. Shue. The tiny brunette is so caught up in her quite moment that she doesn't notice the tall broad shouldered cop watching her from the doorway.

Doug can't help but feel butterflies when he sees her. He has to quickly check himself to keep from getting to in over his head with her. Doug knows that he has a job to do and can't afford to get caught up in something that can never be. Rachel maybe eighteen but she's still younger and she's still so naïve to the world. Doug's been a cop for a while now and has seen some things that can really cause a person to become jaded.

"Hey Rae." Doug feels slightly nervous for some reason as Rachel turns and beams a bright smile at him.

"Douglas…I was hoping to see you today." Rachel can feel her heart beating quickly as the tall handsome cop makes his way over to her. Something about him just makes her feel like she's going to burst in a good way.

Doug runs his hand through his shaggy chocolate locks and sheepishly grins at Rachel. "I guess I'll be joining glee club after all. My brother Tommy plays the sax so he wanted to join the glee band and we always do everything together."

Rachel giggles softly and bites her bottom lip to keep from saying something completely off the wall. She doesn't want Doug to turn and run away from what the other gleeks call her 'Berry brand of crazy'. Doug can tell she wants to say something but is holding back. He looks at her a bit longer and Rachel just can't help herself.

"This is wonderful. I know you said you don't sing very well but I'm sure with my coaching I can have you reaching for the elusive high B in no time." Rachel looks hopeful as Doug's smile spreads slowly across his handsome face.

"Ok." Doug's not sure what a high B is but something about Rachel makes him feel she'll have him whipped into shape so that he'll be able to at least carry a tune.

Before they can talk more about vocal exercises the rest of glee club arrives. Will, eyes Doug and Tom wearily as the two cops integrate themselves into the group of students. The young teacher is still not sure if he likes the idea of having his kids being used in a police matter.

Mr. Shue knows that whatever happens here his kids can handle anything. They've been knocked down repeatedly but they always seem to manage to get back up and dust themselves off. He's suddenly overwhelmed by the feeling that he hasn't done enough to protect them. At least now with the Jump Street team on their side the new directions just might have a chance at ending this bullying situation.

A/N: Please Review. Up next some more Rachel and Dough interaction and the bullies strike again.
