View Full Version : All or Nothing
dovesong 02-27-2002, 05:40 PM Okay, I've started a new fic, but I'm not sure exactly where it's going so, you'll just have to read it and draw your own conclusions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny threw open the curtains of her bedroom in her new apartment and looked out. She watched the cars and people three stories below her and smiles to herself. She was finally back in her own place, having lived with her dad for the last nine months, since her return from Rehab. Jinny still shivered at the thought of that place. The hell she’d gone through there was far worse, in her opinion, than anything she’d experienced while drinking. But, she thought, that chapter of her life was closed, and she’d found ways to substitute for her drinking and was back on track with her life. She’d saved a good bit of money staying with her dad and by not having to spend it on alcohol. She had her own place again, and with a little help from her dad, a new car. She’d managed to get rid of some of that black in her closet, but only some of it, and add a little color. She liked the black, it made her profession easier, she thought. Made people look at her and respect her more, because they were more apt to believe she meant business. Truth be know, she like the color, Magda said it made her look alive.)
(The knock on the door startled her. She looked at her watch. She’d wanted to be unpacked by now and almost ready to go, but then he was early. She hadn’t even found what she had wanted to wear tonight. She began frantically searching through the still packed boxes for her newest black slacks and red blouse. The knock at the door reminded her of her still waiting visitor and she rushed to greet him. She ran to the door, lest he think her not home, and opened it.)
Jinny: You’re early. (running a hand through her hair, nervously) I haven’t even showered yet.
Teddy: And exactly what have you been doing here? (walks in) Alone? (closes the door) (arms around her) All by yourself?
Jinny: (relaxing) (arms around him, smiling) Daydreaming.
Teddy: Daydreaming? (pause, smiling) About anyone in particular?
Jinny: Maybe. (kisses him)
Teddy: Maybe?
Jinny: (kisses him again, then walks away) Yeah, your parents. Teddy, I just don’t think this is the best of ideas.
Teddy: Jinny, they’ll love you, I promise.
Jinny: No, they would have loved me...before...had I been sober.
Teddy: Jinny...
Jinny: No, Teddy. I made a fool out of myself the last time we met. I made a fool out of you! I just, I can’t go down there and pretend like that never happened...and they can’t either.
Teddy: Jinny, (taking her in his arms again) they’ll love you. I promise. I talked to them and I explained everything, they understand.
Jinny: They understand what? That I’m now sober, or that their son is a fool for falling for a girl like me when he could have some rich, blonde bimbo...
Teddy: Jinny, stop. There’s no point in making yourself feel bad over this. Just go and enjoy yourself, and remember, they’re paying for this, so eat hearty.
Jinny: (nods) Sure. (giving in)
Teddy: (steps on into the living room) You’ve got it looking nice.
Jinny: (perking up, Thank God he changed the subject) Oh yeah? Just don’t go into the bedroom.
Teddy: (turns, teasing) Oh, yeah? What are you hiding in the bedroom? Is he better looking than me?
Jinny: Yeah, and I haven’t met his parents yet, so...
Teddy: (discouraged) Jinny.
Jinny: Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll go, I’m just nervous. I don’t have to wear a dress, do I?
Teddy: No, not if you don’t want to.
Jinny: Good, but you owe me for this.
Teddy: Oh? What do I owe you? (moving closer, arms around her, kisses her on the neck) When do you want to collect?
Jinny: Um...(shakes her head) You’re not getting off that easily.
Teddy: (continues to kiss her neck and then finally on the lips)
Jinny: Okay, maybe you will, but don’t think every argument we have is going to be solved like this, I enjoy throwing things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, there you have the beginning of the unknown........enjoy.

dovesong 03-01-2002, 08:04 PM Okay, here's a little more of my newest fic, hope you enjoy it.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(They made their way into the bedroom between kissing and trying to get each others clothes off. Teddy nearly tripped over a couple of boxes on his way to the bed and Jinny laughed. He feigned a hurt look and Jinny came up to kiss him. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her down onto the bed on top of him, her laughing all the way. They stopped, silent, gazing into each others eyes. They stayed that way for several minutes; Jinny smiled and Teddy returned her smile. He reached up to kiss her but she backed away, still smiling. He put a hand behind her head and pulled her to him, kissing her softly, then harder, his free hand moving up and down her back lightly. He undid the fastens holding her bra on, throwing it across the floor. The remainder of their clothes were gone in short order. They had been back together for six short months, probably Jinny’s longest relationship. Each time they made love seemed like the first all over again. Their hunger for each other never seemed to be quenched, no matter how often the tried.)
(They lay on the bed for a few minutes gasping for breath, arm in arm. Jinny was still on a high far better than any drug she could have taken. She was afraid at first she’d never be able to satisfy a man if she were sober, but she found out she was wrong. She had been satisfied far beyond her wildest imagination. Yes, she could live with being sober if all men were as good as the one laying beside her, not that she was in any hurry to find out about other men. Jinny looked at her watch and gasped, jumping up.)
Jinny: Oh, no! We have to go! I need to shower! Oh, God, we’re going to be late! (frantically running around, gather her things)
Teddy: Jinny. Calm down, it’s okay. We’re not going to be late. We still have plenty of time. That’s another reason I stopped by. They had to push the reservations back an hour themselves. So you have plenty of time. Relax (rubbing her bare back, kissing her neck). You have plenty of time to look beautiful.
Jinny: (pushing him away, teasing) Oh yeah? Relaxing like that is what got us into this mess.
(Jinny went to shower, but it wasn’t long before Teddy joined her. Jinny found it difficult to resist his tempting efforts to engage her, and soon they were running behind again. Jinny dressed quickly and dried her hair. Teddy dressed and watched her fix her hair and make up, while they talked.)
Jinny: God, they already hate me, now I’m making their son a rebel, they’re going to LOVE me, now. First a tattoo, now tardiness. Next we’re going to be running off to Vegas to get married.
Teddy: Now, there’s an idea. (gets up and leans against the sink, where Jinny is applying her make-up)
Jinny: What? (looking at him)
Teddy: Vegas.
Jinny: (nervous pause) Did you ever tell them about that tattoo?
Teddy: (smiling, shakes his head) So Vegas isn’t an option?
Jinny: (looks at him, then back to the mirror)
Teddy: (rambling) Cause, I mean, it would be fine with me, if that’s what you wanted. Remember, I’ve had a taste of wedding planning and I must admit, that I’m not sure all that....that....(looking at Jinny watching him, stops)
Jinny: (embarrassed) I wasn’t really serious about Vegas.
Teddy: Oh, (nods) Okay.
(They look at each other for several minutes, then Jinny turns back to the mirror, slowly. Teddy couldn’t hide the hurt he felt. He slipped the box a little further into his pocket; he’d take it out first chance he got. Jinny startled him, when he spoke again.)
Jinny: ....Teddy, hey.
Teddy: (looks up)What?
Jinny: I’m ready to go. (pause, looking at his long face) You okay? You act like you were going to propose or something.
Teddy: I was.
Jinny: (shocked look)
Teddy: (smiles) No, really. I was just daydreaming. (bigger smile) Let’s go. You’re beautiful, my parents will love you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, okay, I get the point. I've kept you waiting long enough...here's a little more...........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny and Teddy drove to the restaurant in near silence. Teddy had tuned to radio to a classical music station and Jinny sat quietly, listening and thinking. There was something about his attitude now that bothered her. He seemed depressed all of the sudden. He parked the car and smiled at her one last time before they got out of the car. They walked inside and were shown to a table, only ten minutes late. Teddy’s parents stood to greet him. Teddy hugged his mother and kissed her on the cheek, then moved to shake hands with his dad, Jinny stood back and watched. Once things had settled a little, Teddy put his arm around Jinny and pulled her nearer to him.)
Teddy: Dad, Mom, you remember Jinny Exstead.
Mom: Yes, (extends her had to Jinny) Jinny, how are you dear?
Jinny: (takes her offered hand, smiles) Good, thanks. (shakes his Dad’s hand) Mr. Blumenthal, it’s a pleasure to meet you again.
Dad: Likewise, young lady. Let’s sit down, and place our orders. (as they are sitting) I took the liberty of ordering the wine, I hope that’s okay with you.
Teddy: That’s fine, dad.
(The waiter came and took their orders. Jinny was the last to order; trying to be discrete as she asked for water to drink with her meal.)
Dad: Of course, Jinny, I apologize. I never gave your drinking a second thought, we’ll have water as well, I don’t...
Jinny: No. No that’s fine. Enjoy your wine, really. I’m fine, it’s fine. (babbling)
Teddy: (slides a hand over and takes hers, squeezing it for support)
Dad: If you’re sure...
Jinny: Yeah, I’m sure. It’s fine.
Dad: (nods to the waiter) (to Jinny once the waiter leaves) So how long have you been sober now, young lady?
Jinny: (smiles) It’s been a long time since I’ve been called a young lady.
Dad: (returns smile)
Jinny: Um, a year next month.
Dad: That’s an accomplishment. Congratulations.
Jinny: (smiles shyly) Thank you.
(The remainder of the conversation was shared mostly between Teddy and his dad about work and the family estate, and other family business. Jinny excused herself to the ladies room and Teddy’s dad took the opportunity to ask.)
Dad: I was going to ask you earlier, but I didn’t see it on her hand. Did you not ask her?
Teddy: I’ve decided to wait, yeah.
Mom: Why, dear? You talked like she was the right girl when you showed me the ring. Have you changed your mind?
Teddy: No, mom, no, I haven’t. It’s just going to take more time than I thought to convince her, she’s the right one.
Dad: Turned you down, did she?
Teddy: Shot me out of the water before I even asked.
Dad: (slaps him on the shoulder, when he sees Jinny returning) Don’t give up on her son.
(They finished their meal and refused desert, they gathered their things and parted ways in the parking lot. Teddy put his arm around Jinny who shivered from the chill in the air. Teddy took off his suit jacket and put it around her. He opened the car and shut the door behind her as she made herself comfortable. They spoke good naturedly on the way back home, Teddy seeming to have overcome his earlier depressed state of mind. Teddy walked Jinny up to her apartment and she invited him in. He agreed to come in briefly.)
(They sat on the couch for a few minutes, arm in arm, kissing. Teddy excused himself to go to the bathroom. Jinny was still chilled, so Teddy turned up her heat on his way by the thermostat. She put her hands in his jacket pockets and drew it around her even more. She felt something hard in his pocket. She tried to resist looking at it, but curiosity got the best of her. She withdrew the small black box and looked at it for a minute, willing herself to open it. She opened the box and from inside winked the most beautiful ring she’d ever seen. It was small, modest, but then she knew that he was aware of the fact that she wouldn’t want something big. She now understood his mood from earlier in the day. “My God.” She thought to herself, “he really was going to propose to me.” She sat there looking at the ring, her mouth still agape when she heard Teddy round the corner and stop. She looked up at him, staring, unsure of what to say. Teddy’s eyes were wide staring back at her. Neither able to speak.)

Ewan's My Man 03-03-2002, 10:43 PM AHHHHHHHHH...I must have more!!!!!!!!
dovesong 03-04-2002, 12:09 AM Okay, since I've been I left you guys hanging or something like that.......and since I've been told to warn you guys ahead of time when you need tissues, you may want to grab one, it may be a roller coaster straight down from this cliff.......hold on tight........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the way.....I haven't completely finished this scene yet.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teddy: Oh, God. (hand to head) I forgot about that being in there. Jinny, I’m sorry, I...
Jinny: (looks up at him, still holding the ring) You were serious? You were going to... (stops, unable to say the words)
Teddy: Well, um, yeah. (nods) I was.
Jinny: (hand to head, still holding the ring) Oh, God, and I...
Teddy: (comes over, sits beside her, takes the ring and box) It’s okay, really. You didn’t know. I guess I got your honest opinion, and I didn’t have to make a fool out of myself by asking, huh? I really didn’t mean for you to find that. I forgot about it. Really.
Jinny: (still in disbelief) You were going to propose. I just...I can’t believe it, I...mean, I’m shocked...I mean...I’m...
Teddy: (puts the ring away, takes Jinny’s hands in his own) No, it’s okay. I don’t know what I was thinking really. I shouldn’t have even thought about it so soon. I just, I thought that, that maybe we were ready for that, but if you’re not, that’s okay. I mean, I guessed that you weren’t by what you said earlier. I didn’t intend for you to find it...I’m sorry.
Jinny: Because of what I said? When?
Teddy: Earlier? About Vegas?
Jinny: (eyes wide, realization) Oh, God. I did, didn’t I? And you were going to propose? Oh, Teddy, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were going to...
Teddy: It’s okay. Really. I guess I just got your honest opinion, and that’s okay.
Jinny: No. It’s not okay. What I said earlier...I...(shakes her head)...had I known, I...
Teddy: What, you want me to propose, so you can turn me down the right way?
Jinny: No, Teddy, I...I don’t know. I’m sorry for earlier, I am. I shouldn’t have said that.
Teddy: You should have said yes.
Jinny: (smiles, sympathetic) I don’t know if I’m ready for that. I mean, it’s a big step, and I don’t know if I can...can live up to what you want me to be; what you need me to be for you.
Teddy: What I need is you, Jinny. I liked you before you were sober, and this new you, it’s like...(looking for the right word)...like, WOW! I love you so much. When I saw you in that bar, I thought I’d lost you forever, and it scared me. Now that I have you back, I don’t want to lose you again.
Jinny: (staring deep into his eyes, amazed that anyone would be saying these things to her) I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want us to be apart, either, but marriage? Teddy, I don’t know. I’ve never lived with anybody before, except my brothers and my roommates in college, and Ihave to say, I was more than ecstatic to get away from both. I just don’t know if I could live with someone else and be happy. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love it when you’re around, but...making it permanent? What we have is so great, and when people get married, (changes directions) I don’t want to lose what we have.
Teddy: (nods, hurt showing) I understand.
Jinny: (looking at him avoiding her eyes) (shakes her head) No. I don’t think you do. Teddy I don’t know what it’s like for two people to be together and be happy. You’ve had your mom and dad all your life. Me? I lived with my dad and two brothers. What I do remember of my mom, They weren’t happy. I mean, I’m sure they were at one time, I mean, at least three times in their life together, but she killed herself, Teddy.
Teddy: (shocked, truly sorry) I’m sorry, Jinny. Oh, God, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know what happened to your mom, I just knew she wasn’t around.
Jinny: (shaking, but continuing) She, um, she shot herself in the head. (tears, trying to keep from crying) I came home from school one day and there she was, all that...(hand out, like she’s pointing)...that blood. And I just screamed, I couldn’t move. I just stood there and screamed at her. (hand over her mouth) And she wouldn’t move. (Teddy takes her in his arms, petting her hair) She wouldn’t move. I just wanted her to be okay, to get up, and she just laid there.
Teddy: You came home from school? How old were you, Jinny?
Jinny: Fourteen. I was only fourteen, and she left me; just like that, she left me.
(Jinny could no longer control the racking sobs that overcame her. She cried for a long time, being held by Teddy. Teddy sat the majority of that time in shock at what he’d just heard. He knew Jinny had problems, knew she was unhappy, that she was haunted by things, but he’d had no clue about this. He could find no words of comfort for her; he could find no words at all. He only hoped that holding her was enough.)

dovesong 03-04-2002, 06:03 PM Okay, not much time to write today, been sick today, but here's a little more.........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(After crying on him for a long time, Jinny sat up, wiping her eyes, embarrassed that she had allowed him to see her being so weak.)
Jinny: Um, (wiping her eyes) I’m really sorry, about that. Um, I know you don’t want to hear about my life.
Teddy: (putting a hand to her face, wiping her mascara) On the contrary, I do, Jinny. I love you, and I want to know who you are, (pause) and why you are that person. God, I love you. Have I said that? Because, I just want you know, how much I love.
Jinny: (smiles) I ...(pause, is she brave enough to say it?) I love you, too, Teddy. But see, that’s why I don’t want to marry you. My parents, you know, I always thought they were happy, I mean, they fought, and everything, but...Mom, she seemed happy, especially when Dad was sober. But, I just, I don’t want to end up like that; I don’t want us, to end up like that. (drops her head)
Teddy: (thinks for a while) (gets down on his knees so she can see him) Jinny, I can’t promise you that if you marry me, we won’t have our problems. I can’t promise you that we won’t have disagreements, at some point. But I can promise you that I will love you and do everything in my power make you happy. You know, my parents have always been able to talk to each other, and work their problems out that way. I guess, maybe, I’m naive. Growing up, I thought that every family was as happy as mine, and I know now, that I’m wrong, but we can be happy. We can make it work, I know we can. We’re so happy together, and I don’t want to lose you, ever. I want to be this happy for the rest of my life, and I want make you happy. I want us to be happy, together. Will you...(putting a hand on her chin, so she can see him) will you at least think about that?
Jinny: (nods) Yes.
Teddy: (takes the ring out of the box) Will you wear the ring? For me?
Jinny: (stares into his eyes, knows how difficult this is for him, as well) (nods) Yes.
Teddy: (smiling, a tear runs down his own cheek)
Jinny: (smiles slightly as he puts the ring her finger) (wipes his tear away, kisses him)
Teddy: Come one, I’ll tuck you in bed before I go.
Jinny: (quietly, testing her voice) Tomorrow is Sunday, you can stay (pause) if you want.
Teddy: Um, (shrugs) okay.
(They make their way to the bedroom, quietly, arm in arm. They dress for bed, Jinny in a silk teddy, Teddy in his boxers. They both feel drained from their earlier conversation, and so they lay quietly, together, for sometime, holding each other. Teddy is the first to drift off, and Jinny lays on his chest, trying not to wake him. The curtains are still open, letting the moonlight shine through the window, and the glint of the ring in the moonlight catches Jinny’s eye. She holds the ring up for closer inspection, she’s satisfied with her decision for now, but has much to think about in the coming days. Can she really be happy sharing her life with someone on a more permanent basis? She feels comforted by his presence by her now, why can’t she just let go and love him with her whole heart? There is something there, nagging, that she can’t quite put her finger on. Yes, this decision will definitely require some deep soul-searching, but is she capable of searching herself that much? Only time would tell.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, there ya go.......gotta go to work now........oh, joyous occasion.
Esperanza 03-04-2002, 06:10 PM This is so great!!!!!! Please post more ASAP!!!

InspectorExstead 03-04-2002, 11:07 PM :eek: ..ok i'm still recovering from the post before last where jinny told teddy about her mom. more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jinny, teddy, what could be better? MORE!!!!!!!
dovesong 03-06-2002, 07:09 PM I know, I know, Finally more...........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Teddy and Jinny woke the next morning and showered. Their day was uneventful, Teddy did not mention anything further about the ring or marriage. He knew she needed her space to think and he was willing to give her that space. She seemed distant, thinking, but she did keep up the conversation. They went to a small cafe for breakfast and then returned home. Teddy departed after his offer to help her finish unpacking was refused. With a tender kiss, they parted ways, with the promise of another day. Jinny spent the rest of the day unpacking and getting her new life situated and thinking about all she would gain or lose by choosing to make a life with Teddy. She decided to weigh her options while unpacking. A shirt in the drawer for every positive aspect of marriage; pants for the negative. She quickly had to give that up, once all of her shirts were put away and the majority of her pants were still in the box. She had to figure out another way to resolve her fears.)
(Jinny did not rest well that night either and awoke the next morning from a fitful sleep. The dream she had had was not comforting, and she slowly drug herself out of the bed and dressed. She stopped by and picked up Magda and dropped Ben off at his school after finally agreeing to spend time with him that evening; something she hadn’t done for several months, since Gabe moved in. She hadn’t realized that Ben had missed her as much as he had. She was quiet after Ben left; half-way to the station Magda questioned her.)
Magda: So, what’s up?
Jinny: What? What do you mean?
Magda: I mean this mood you’re in. (smiling) You haven’t hardly said two words to me all morning.
Jinny: (thinking, shakes her head) Nothing’s wrong. I’ve just got some things on my mind.
Magda: Do you want to talk about it?
Jinny: (glances at the ring that Magda has so far failed to notice) No. Just...it’s nothing. (stalling) I’ve just got a lot of decisions to make...you know...new house...new car...responsibilities again. It’s just adjusting.
Magda: You need some help? Unpacking? With the bills? Really, I don’t care to help Jin, all you gotta do is let me know...
Jinny: No. No, I got all that covered. I’m fine...It’s all good.
(They pull up in front of the station and get out. Jinny stops Magda at the front of the car and turns her away from the station towards the car, like someone might hear. Her left hand, sporting the ring, intentionally around Magda’s shoulder, out of sight.)
Jinny: Can I trust you Mag? I mean, not to say anything?
Magda: Jinny, am I hearing you right? Of course you can trust me, you know me...
Jinny: Yeah, I know you, that’s the reason I’m asking...I know I can trust you if I’m in trouble, but this is different...
Magda: (confused look)
Jinny: Teddy and I went out Saturday night.
Magda: (smiling, waiting for the punch line)
Jinny: (rolls her eyes and turns her head slightly) When we came home, I had his jacket and I put my hand in his pocket and I found something.
Magda: (still quiet, unsure of what bad news Jinny might deliver next; surely not Teddy) (shaking her head, questioning look)
Jinny: (extends her left hand on around Magda’s shoulder into her line of sight)
Magda: (gasps, mouth agape, eyes wide) Oh, Jinny! He proposed! Oh my gosh, Jinny! I’m so happy for you!
Jinny: (shushing Magda) Don’t say anything, okay. I’m only telling you, because Ijust...I need to talk to someone before we make it final...you know. I just can’t seem to understand why this is so important to him. We’re happy the way we are. Why can’t we just leave it the way it is?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There ya go.......am I back in your graces, yet? At least temporarily?......Gee thanks, I knew you'd all understand......hehe

Ewan's My Man 03-07-2002, 05:01 PM MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!
dovesong 03-07-2002, 06:42 PM Okay, I gotta take my young'un to see her mamaw before they both bust, but here's a little bit...........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magda: (follows Jinny on toward the building) Because he loves you. This is a big deal, Jin.
Jinny: I know, and I don’t understand why.
Magda: Oh, so this big lecture you gave me about Gabe, it was what?
Jinny: It was you. This is me.
Magda: And Teddy’s in love with you. (seeing Teddy at the small coffee shop set up inside the station, nods) Don’t look now, but Prince Charming is coming your way. (pats Jinny’s arms and walks away) I’ll catch you upstairs.
Jinny: (turns to see Teddy standing behind her, smiling)
Teddy: You told her?
Jinny: Yeah, I did. I need someone to talk to about this.
Teddy: (shy smile) You can talk to me.
Jinny: (guilty smile) (quietly) I know. But I need a woman to talk to about this.
Teddy: (still smiling) I know. But you can talk to me, you know that.
Jinny: Yeah, I know. Thanks.
Teddy: (looks at his watch) Look, I gotta run, I’m due in court soon. I’ll talk to you later. (quick kiss) Bye.
Jinny: Bye. (watches his walk off, turns to the elevator)(sees Captain McCafferty at the elevator) Morning, Cap.
Kate: Good morning, Jinny. I saw you talking to Mr. Blumenthal.
Jinny: (embarrassed) Um, yeah. Sorry about that.
Kate: Don’t mention it. I remember being in love with my husband.
Jinny: Oh, yeah?
Kate: Yeah. I remember loving to hate him, too.
Jinny: (big smile)(she and Cap are the only ones in the elevator) (shyly) What happened between you and your husband?
Kate: Pardon me?
Jinny: Why did you split? (pause, both thinking) You know what? I shouldn’t have asked, I’m sorry.
Kate: No, it’s okay. He just decided he needed his freedom, and another woman to share it with.
Jinny: (nods)
Kate: Why do you ask?
Jinny: (smiles, unconsciously making sure her ring is not visible) I don’t know. Sorry.
Kate: (watching her suspiciously) Don’t mention it. (getting off the elevator) If you have any more questions, or if you just want to talk...
Jinny: (nods) Thanks, Cap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There ya go, for a while.....

I kinda missed the yesterday 5:30 deadline by just a little
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny followed the Captain quietly on into the office and sat down at her desk, while Captain McCafferty continue on into her office. Jinny picked up the messages on her desk and read them. She was oblivious to the conversation going on around her, even after the captain returned with the case files to start the day. She had assigned CD & Nate’s case and they were gone when the captain called Jinny back to reality.)
Kate: Jinny....Jinny!
Jinny: What? (pause) Oh, um, sorry, Cap. What have you got for us?
Kate: Let’s take this to my office, Jinny. Magda you want to come on in here with us.
Magda: Sure, what’s up?
Kate: (holds the door for them, closes it and begins) Do you remember, Jinny, about six years ago, there was this guy, a (looks at paper) John Compton, called him Lex. You and Officer Michael Martin busted him for drug smuggling. Do you remember him?
Jinny: Vaguely, why?
Kate: Last week, he escaped from his cell at the prison. This morning, Officer Martin came home from work to find his wife and two children dead, in their beds. Coincidence? (shrugs)
Jinny: (silent, staring at Kate)
Magda: (silent, staring from Kate to Jinny and back)
Jinny: What are you trying to...
Kate: What I’m trying to say is watch yourself, and...(hands her a case folder) find him, before he finds you.
Jinny: (nods, slowly)
Kate: Is something bothering you today, Jinny?
Jinny: (looking over the case file) No. Why?
Kate: I don’t know, your reserve? Our earlier conversation? Which I still don’t fully understand.
Jinny: I’m sorry about that, I should have never asked.
Kate: I didn’t mind you asking, I just thought maybe there was a reason you wanted to know why we separated.
Magda: (eyes wide, almost laughing)
Kate: (looks at Magda then back to Jinny, more curious)
Jinny: No, I just (lying) I had this dream last night and...
Kate: About me?
Jinny: No. I don’t know, I guess it just bothered me.
Kate: (nods, points to the folder in Jinny’s hand) Well, you have all the information that I have, so get on it.
Jinny: (nods) Okay. (Jinny and Magda get up to leave)
Magda: (as they’re walking out the door) Liar.
Kate: (looks at them curiously, smiles, turns back to her work)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

lol. Yeah I guess you did but it is all good.
InspectorExstead 03-10-2002, 10:35 PM OH MY FREAKIN' GOD! I CANNOT WAIT TILL U POST MORE. CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS W/ THE DRUGGIE DUDE! MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dovesong 03-12-2002, 01:18 AM Well, I know I've been really slow with this fic......I'm 27 years old and I'm studying for a test that is going to KILL me, so please forgive me.....and if you believe in the power of prayer.......pray for me, cuz I'M GONNA NEED ALL THE HELP THAT I CAN GET for this test, I've only been out of school for 10 years....and boy is it showin'........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magda: (once the door is closed) You asked her about her husband? I can’t believe you.
Jinny: (trying to be quiet) Well, I just wanted to know what makes people fall out of love. That’s all.
Magda: (rolls her eyes at Jinny, shakes her head) So tell me about this John Compton guy. Why does Cap think he may be after you.
Jinny: (shrugs) I don’t know. Me and um, Officer Martin busted a big drug fest a few years back, people were dying, you know. We tried to pin them on him, but we couldn’t get the evidence we needed, and all he was convicted on were the drug charges. He, um, went to jail for the drug charges; he swore he’d get out and be back. We were young, and on a big high. It was my first BIG deal. You know, undercover, and all. It was great.
Magda: (nods) Well, like Cap said, just watch your back for a while. And let’s find this guy.
Jinny: (thinking, nods) You don’t think...nah, never mind.
Magda: What?
Jinny: Well, he killed Officer Martin’s family. Do you think maybe Teddy and I should, I don’t know, maybe, lay low for a while?
Magda: I don’t know, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
(The two returned to their desks and sat down. Jinny reviewed everything in the case file that morning until she had it memorized. She played and replayed the old scenes in her head until she could have quoted every word spoken, every action made, every shot fired, and every body as it fell, where it fell. She pushed back from the desk about three hours later, rubbing her eyes, from reading and re-reading. She looked up as CD and Nate returned to the office for lunch.)
CD: How’d you guys manage to stay in all morning? (pause, smiling at Jinny) What are you being punished for now?
Jinny: Ha! Why is it always me?
CD: Maybe because I know you?
Jinny: (smiling, then more serious) We were just going over some case information. This guy I busted a few years ago is out of prison, Cap thinks he might be paying me a visit. John Compton, you remember hearing anything about him?
CD: No. How long are we talking?
Jinny: Six years. I was working in LA then, on the streets more. Did a little undercover work on the case. Went to jail on drug charges; he escaped last week. My old partner’s family was found dead this morning.
CD: Don’t remember hearing anything about it then. I remember hearing something about a prison break last week.
Nate: I heard that, weren’t they expecting him to head toward Washington? Kind of stupid to stay in this area, isn’t it?
Magda: You’d think. Drugs probably messed with his head a little. Doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Jinny: No. He never actually did any drugs. Drank a lot. He said, to be successful and stay alive in the drug business, you had to keep a clear head and know what was going on all the time. He was good. Thing was, he wasn’t as good a shot with a gun, as he was at shooting off his mouth. Had Officer Martin been any slower on the draw, though, and I wouldn’t be standing here today.
Nate: Lucky day, huh?
Jinny: Very.
(Jinny threw her money down on Magda’s desk to cover the pizza they had just ordered and walked on into the restroom. She sat down on the bench across the room and sat back against the wall, thinking. She sat there for a while, unaware of the length of time she had actually spent sitting there until Magda came looking for her.)
Magda: Hey, the pizza’s here, we were wondering what happened to you. Are you worried about this guy?
Jinny: (lying) Nah. I can handle myself. I was just thinking about Teddy.
Magda: Teddy?
Jinny: Yeah, what am I going to tell him? Gee, Teddy, I know you just proposed two days ago, but we have to split for a while, because I have a murderer after me, and he’ll probably kill you first?
Magda: Tell him the truth, he’ll understand.
Jinny: I don’t want him to worry.
Magda: He’s always going to worry, a little.
Jinny: Yeah, I know. Maybe I should reconsider this, I mean...
Magda: What? Reconsider? No way, Jin. He loves you. Don’t make the both of you miserable for the rest of your life, just because you don’t want him to worry. You’ll never be happy, ever.
Jinny: I guess.
Magda: Now, come on. I hate cold pizza.
Jinny: (laughing) I grew up with three men; I’m used to it. I’ll be out in a minute. I still have to go.
Magda: And Ben says I spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
Jinny: (smiling) You do.
Magda: (sarcastically) Thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There ya go....

dovesong 03-13-2002, 07:01 PM Here's a little more just to let you all know I haven't completely abandoned you......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny returned a few minutes later and was handed a plate. She took two slices of pizza from the box and sat down at her desk. She picked up the water sitting on her desk and took a drink. Things were quiet for a few minutes, then the conversation was light. During a lapse in the conversation, Magda spoke up.)
Magda: So, Jin, where exactly do we find this Compton guy?
Jinny: Honestly? (pause, watching Magda) I have no clue. He had set up office in a little bar on a street corner, in a run down section of LA, but if he was smart, he’d stay away from there.
Magda: You’d think.
Raina: (listening intently) What I don’t understand is, if all this went down in LA, why are they giving you guys this case? Here? In San Fran?
Jinny: I don’t know. The chart has his sister’s last know address here, but that was three years ago. She wasn’t much help to us before. She is his only living relative. Both parents died in a house fire, determined to be arson, not long after Compton’s sixteenth birthday. His sister would have died, too, had she not heard the dog barking. Conveniently, Compton had spent the night with a friend and had been inside all night, playing video games. (sarcastically) Parents of course, corroborated, because he didn’t walk out the front door saying, “Well I think I’ll go run amuck and burn down my house, with my parents inside. You’re precious Frankie-boy is gonna help me but don’t worry, we’ll be back by midnight.” We couldn’t find any evidence hooking them to the crime.
Magda: Boy this case is already getting to you. You sure you want to take this on?
Jinny: Yeah, I’m sure. We could never pin this guy and his buddy with those deaths, but I’m not letting him get away with this that easily. I want to go visit Michael Martin’s place and have a talk with him.
Magda: (nods) Okay, we’ll do that first thing in the morning, okay.
Jin: (smiles) Sure.
(The phone on Jinny’s desk rang. Jinny slowly made her way to her desk, covering the little ground between hers and Magda’s desks quickly. She picked up the phone on the third ring.)
Jinny: Exstead. (pause) Hello?
(Jinny quickly pulled the phone away from her ear as you heard the phone on the other end slam down. Jinny looks at the phone for a few seconds, then stares around the room at the other eyes watching her. She shrugs nervously then replaces the phone in its cradle.)
Jinny: (smiles nervously, shrugs) Guess, uh, he didn’t want to talk to me.
(The phone rang again, causing everyone in the room to jump slightly. Jinny watches the phone for several seconds, before Magda picks up her own phone, pushes several buttons and Jinny’s phone stops ringing as Magda answers it.)
Magda: Ramirez.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go, I'll try and post a little more before I go to work.....
Babes_Cat 03-13-2002, 07:28 PM YAY! Hopefully you can post more before I have to go out tonight!
dovesong 03-13-2002, 08:17 PM Okay, here's the rest of what I have posted.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Magda: Ramirez. (pause) (sigh of relief) Oh, hey, Teddy.
(Jinny’s shoulders slump in relief, the others in the room laugh a little as the increased tension is released.)
Magda: (still on the phone) Jinny? Yeah, she’s here. Hold on. (hands Jinny the phone, eyes full of laughter) He said he was sorry for dropping the phone.
Jinny: (nervous smile, takes phone) Hey, (pause) Scare me? (laughing) No. I was, um, (lying again) on another line. (Magda rolls her eyes) Um, yeah. (pause) Um, hey, you know what? Maybe that wouldn’t be a good idea. Could you, um, run by here on your way home this evening? We need to talk. (pause, smiling) No I haven’t changed my mind. (looks around to see who’s watching their conversation; Thank God her hair is covering the latest addition to her jewelry) Okay, I’ll see you then. I’ll be in the office. I’ll wait for you. (pause) Okay, bye. (hangs up, sighs)
(Kate had ordered pizza with her inspectors for a change. She generally ate more healthy meals; as much as she hated to admit it, this job was hell on her girlish figure. But pizza had sounded so good. She returned to her desk after witnessing the events in the outer office. Jinny was already shaken up. She wondered if it had been wise to put her on this case, but Jinny was one of the few who knew just how destructive this guy could be. Kate shrugged to herself, she had every right to be nervous. Kate finished off her first slice of pizza, wiped her hands and her mouth, picked up the phone and dialed.)
Kate: Hello, Rita. This is Captain McCafferty, Central Division. Is DC Haysbert available, please. (pause) Thank you, yes, I’ll hold. (long pause, Kate looks to her second piece of pizza longingly, she should have eaten first and make the call later, but it kept weighing on her mind) Charles? Kate McCafftery. (pause) Fine, thank you. Listen, you’ve heard about John Compton’s prison break, I’m sure. (pause) Have you been informed that one of the officers on the old case against him came home this morning to find his wife and children dead? (pause) Yes, well, the other officer that worked that case is one of my inspectors and I’m putting in a request for round the clock surveillance of her home. (pause) (struggles with the answer to his question) Inspector Exstead. (pause) I don’t care about our budget...(pause) (angry) I don’t care...(pause) Inspector Exstead is a good officer and has had a clean record for the past year...(pause) (angry, getting loud, drawing the attention of her inspectors from the outer office) Then you find a way to reallocate those funds from where ever you need too, to find me that money, or I’ll call the Chief of Police myself and make that request myself.
(Kate slams down the phone and looks up, the inspectors all turn their heads back to their lunch. Kate looks at the pizza before her and pitches it in the garbage, making a face.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, there's what I have so far......
Babes_Cat 03-13-2002, 08:35 PM YAY! *claps* YAY MICHELLE!
YOU TELL 'EM, CAP! -ahem- Awesome as always. Please post more ASAP.
ks
KerriBerri687 03-13-2002, 10:17 PM well thanks to jo i decided to read ur fic and all i can say is...WOW!!!! this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GR8!!!! add more asap!!!!!!!!
Ewan's My Man 03-13-2002, 10:34 PM GO CAP!! Ok...well...post!!
dovesong 03-15-2002, 08:44 PM Okay, thanks everybody for posting......I'm glad you're all liking it. Here's a little more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: (calling through her open door) Jinny, my office.
(Jinny looks to Magda and sighs to say, “I wonder what I’ve done now.” She takes one last bite of her pizza, wipes her hands, grabs her water and walks into the Captain’s office. Per her instructions, Jinny closes the door and sits down. There is a brief silence and Jinny shrugs her shoulders, giving the Captain a questioning look.)
Jinny: What have I done now?
Kate: What? You have a guilty conscience? Something you want to tell me?
Jinny: Hardly. What’s up?
Kate: I’m posting officers outside your apartment building. How many exits are there?
Jinny: You’re what? Oh, no. Captain, I can take care of myself.
Kate: So, I’ve noticed. It never hurt to have a little help.
Jinny: I don’t need someone watching me 24/7 like I’m a child.
Kate: I’ve worked hard trying to keep you on this force. If anyone is going to kill you, it’s going to me the next time you screw up.
Jinny: (half nod) You know, if I were a common, everyday citizen, I could refuse this.
Kate: Well, you’re not, and I’m not giving you a choice. I want a key to your apartment incase we’d need in for some reason. I’m providing you with a two way radio, of sorts. If you need help, you can communicate with the officers. After midnight, I want to hear everything going on in your apartment; I want to know if you snore.
Jinny: Cap...
Kate: And if you think you’re being followed, make sure it isn’t one of my officers before you shoot, but shoot to kill.
Jinny: Cap...
Kate: Jinny, three people died last night at the hands of this man. They thought they were safe in their own home, they found out the hard way, they were wrong. I refuse to let you become a statistic, whether it’s against your will or not.
Jinny: I’m sure someone will appreciate that.
Kate: Do you have a preference of who we station outside? Do you want someone you know? John Jr.? Casey? Magda? Anybody?
Jinny: (laughs) John Jr.? Ha! He’d probably give this guy everything he owned to see him knock me off.
Kate: (smiles)
Jinny: You got funds for this?
Kate: You’ve been talking to Raina? You let me worry about funding. The victim’s safety is our top priority; sometimes our officers’ are the victim, and whether Charles likes that fact or not, he’ll get over it, (pause, big eyes) eventually.
Jinny: (smiles) Are we done?
Kate: Yes, go on. (Jinny gets up to leave) Jinny...
Jinny: (stops, turns back around)
Kate: I think that Teddy would appreciate it if you cooperated with me on this, don’t you think?
Jinny: (gives Kate a curious look)
Kate: (holds up her left hand, indicates the ring on her own finger) I kept the ring. Comes in handy sometimes.
Jinny: (looks down at her engagement ring, smiles) You don’t miss much, do you Cap?
Kate: No, I don’t. Does that have anything to do with your question this morning?
Jinny: (shrugs) I was just curious. I’m sorry.
Kate: Don’t mention it. If you have any questions, I don’t mind answering them.
Jinny: (smiles, nods, but doesn’t leave)
Kate: (indicates the chair Jinny just vacated with her hand)
Jinny: (closes the door, she had just opened, sits back down) (quiet)
Kate: (watches Jinny struggling with questions) You’re not the first person to have questions about marriage.
Jinny: It’s just that...I don’t..(pause)..I don’t understand why this is so important to him. We’re happy now, I mean...why do we have to change things? What if I’m not good at being a wife? I don’t know what you’re supposed to do when you get married.
Kate: You’re supposed to love each other, and make each other happy.
Jinny: But we do that now. Why do we have to get married?
Kate: Because it’s the next logical step. Because he loves you and he wants to give you everything he has, including his name. And you’re not supposed to do anything that you don’t do now. Just love him. Fight every once in a while, and then make out..(shakes her head)..up.
Jinny: (smiles)
Kate: Can you tell that my daughter is home with her latest, uh, (pause) fling?
Jinny: (laughs)
Kate: So why did you tell him yes, if you have so many questions?
Jinny: Because I want to, I do. I want to make him happy.
Kate: I sense a ‘but.’
Jinny: (emphasize) But...what if I’m not happy? What if I can’t make myself happy and him, too?
Kate: Are you happy with him now? Do you trust him?
Jinny: Yes.
Kate: If you want honesty, Jinny, here it is. You’re not always going to be happy. There are going to be disagreements. You’re going to fight. It’s inevitable, when two people live together, married or not. My guess is, you’ll do a lot of disagreeing before you’re ever married, when you start talking wedding plans. It’s how you deal with these disagreements. If you can talk about them, and make compromises, you’ll do fine. You have to trust him and trust yourself. Besides, I’ve seen the two of you together, I don’t think that you’ll have any problems, but that’s just my observation.
Jinny: (smiles) Thanks, Cap.
Kate: Anything else?
Jinny: (opens her mouth to speak, then stops) No. Thanks.
Kate: Are you sure?
Jinny: Yeah, I’m sure.
Kate: I hope I’ve helped, my door is always open.
Jinny: I know. Thanks a lot.
Kate: Anytime.

dovesong 03-18-2002, 11:10 PM Boy, we finally got Miranda post more than once every two or three days, and now I've taken her place. Well, we can only have one slougher at a time on the board, so...:p (lol, Miranda)
Here's more....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny got up and left the Captain’s office. She returned to her desk and finished her pizza in relative silence. Magda watched her for a time then wandered over to her desk.)
Magda: So what’s up?
Jinny: She’s posting an officer outside my apartment, and probably one to follow me around everywhere I go. Like I need a babysitter.
Magda: That might not be a bad idea, Jin.
Jinny: Mag, I can take care of myself. After midnight, she said she wanted an open channel to the officers....she wants to know if I snore. Please.
Magda: (little laugh) Jinny, she’s trying to keep you alive. Which is more than Officer Martin’s family got. Be thankful she cares about you that much.
Jinny: I can see DC Haysbert approving this for anyone else, but for me? Mag, in case you haven’t noticed, we don’t see eye to eye about my being on this force. Do you really think that he’s going to approve this?
Magda: In case you haven’t noticed, I think the Captain and Charles have an understanding. He doesn’t step on her toes, and she gets what she wants.
Jinny: (smiles)
Magda: So, what are you going to tell Teddy?
Jinny: I don’t know yet.
Magda: (teasing) Well, you’d better make it good, considering he just proposed last night.
Jinny: (looks down at the ring on her hand) Don’t remind me.
Magda: You still don’t seem happy about it.
Jinny: (makes a face) It’s not that, it’s just...(shrugs)...I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me.
Magda: Maybe it’s just your conscience telling you this is the best thing that’s ever happened to you; and that you shouldn’t beat yourself up over being happy.
Jinny: You’ve been engaged how long, again?
Magda: (questioning look) Three months...
Jinny: Three months and you’re already the expert? Come on, Mag.
Magda: Okay, I get the point.
Jinny: Thank you.
(Nate and CD witnessed their exchange wordlessly. Magda’s phone rang and she answered it. She was on the phone for several minutes and then hung up. She put her head in her hands and sighed.)
Jinny: Hey, is everything okay?
Magda: Ben is sick. He threw up at school today. I have to go get him.
Jinny: Well, we’re not doing anything today; Cap shouldn’t mind. I’d come over this evening and tell him a bedtime story, (shakes her head) but I don’t handle puking graciously.
Magda: (smiles, then laughs) Just wait until you have kids.
Jinny: I’m getting married...having kids isn’t part of the deal.
Magda: (laughing as she exits) You just wait, Jin.....(trails off)
CD: (smiling) You’re getting married, Jinny? I never thought I’d live to see the day.
Jinny: (blushing, holds up her ring for closer observation) Yes, I am getting married.
Nate: (admiring the ring from a distance) Anyone we know?
CD: (closely inspecting the ring) (to Nate) Only one our own, ADA Blumenthal. (to Jinny) It’s a beautiful ring. Have you set a date?
Jinny: No. Not yet. He only proposed last night.
CD: Take your time and enjoy your engagement. You’ll have a lifetime together after the fact.
Jinny: (withdrew her hand and walked to her desk) Thanks. I will. (stops, turns back around) CD...
CD: Yeah?
Jinny: Why did you and your husband split?
CD: You know why. He was cheating on me. Why?
Jinny: (shrugs, turns away) Just wondering.

InspectorExstead 03-20-2002, 07:21 PM AHHH!!!! I LOVE IT!! MORE...SOON...PLEASE!
dovesong 03-22-2002, 10:42 AM I know I've slowed considerably writing this one.. I'm really sorry, but here's a little more.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CD: (nods, gives Jinny a peculiar look, then turns away herself)
(Jinny sat at her desk the rest of the afternoon trying to look as busy as possible, and reviewing the chart for this John Compton. She tried to remember everything about him; his old hangouts, old friends, the way he looked, anything that might help her track him down quicker. She would never let it show, but after being stalked once before, she wasn’t fond of the thought of having it happen again. Late that afternoon, Teddy quietly appeared at her desk, startling her. She jumped as she dropped the folder in her hands.)
Teddy: (reaching down to pick up the folder) Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. You said you wanted to talk to me?
Jinny: (trying to control her breathing, runs hand through hair) That’s okay. I guess I was just deep in thought. Yeah, I kind of need to talk to you.
Teddy: (smiling, leaning against her desk) What are thinking about?
Jinny: (weak smile) Teddy, we have to talk.
Teddy: That doesn’t sound promising. (shakes his head) What? What’s up? Are you okay?
Jinny: Yeah, I’m okay.
Teddy: Want to go across the street? Have dinner?
Jinny: (reluctant) No, Teddy, see, that’s the thing.
Teddy: (confused) I don’t know if I understand.
(Jinny takes Teddy lightly by the arm and leads him to a small room off in one corner of the office. She pulls out a chair for him, but he declines, leaning, instead, against the table. He looks around the room, suspiciously, teasingly. He sees Jinny is not in a joking mood, but is rather serious with the task at hand.)
Teddy: What’s this all about? You’re sure you’re okay.
Jinny: Yes, I’m fine. I just...we need to talk about something.
Teddy: Okay. Let’s talk. What’s up?
Jinny: Well, see, there’s this guy...
Teddy: (really confused) I see...
Jinny: And see, this guy....he, um...
Teddy: (quiet, listening closely)
Jinny: That really doesn’t sound like a good start, does it? Let me try again.
Teddy: (laughs) Try again, then. There’s this guy...
Jinny: (smiles) My partner, from a long time ago, right? Well, we put this guy away, okay?
Teddy: (nods) I’m following.
Jinny: He broke out of prison and killed my partner’s wife and kids, while they slept. They think he may come after me.
Teddy: (quiet)
Jinny: Teddy?
Teddy: So what are THEY going to do?
Jinny: I’m okay. Thing is, I’m more worried about you, and...
Teddy: About me? (shakes head, confused) Why me?
Jinny: He’s been out of prison for a week. He located Officer Martin. He has had plenty of opportunity to take out Officer Martin, had that been his plan. He went for his family. And I’m afraid he’ll come after you.
Teddy: Okay, I’m prepared to watch out for myself. Now what are we going to do, to ensure your safety?
Jinny: Teddy, it isn’t me I’m worried about.
Teddy: Well, it’s you I’m worried about.
Jinny: (shakes her head, makes a face) They are posting officers outside my apartment, one to follow me around, the usual. Teddy, we can’t see each other right now.
Teddy: Why not? I mean...
Jinny: If he finds out I’m seeing someone...(changes direction) ...I love you. I don’t want to lose you.... I can’t lose you, Teddy. I...(becoming anxious, upset)
Teddy: (takes her by the shoulders, then hugs her) Calm down. If this is that important to you, fine. I’ll keep my distance, but I’m still calling you every night. If he’s been out a week, don’t you think he’s probably already found you?
Jinny: It’s a possibility; all we can do is guess. Magda and I are working on it. Trying to find him before he finds us. I just want to make sure you’re safe you know?
Teddy: Yes, I understand, but I’m going to worry about you, I can’t help it.
Jinny: I know, call me. I don’t want there to be any chance of him finding you by my phone.
Teddy: (nods) I could come keep you company again. That way you’d know I was safe, and I’d know...
Jinny: No. You can’t. You have to stay away from me. (pauses, running her hands through her hair) (stark realization) My God, what am I getting into?
Teddy: What? What do you mean?
TISSUE WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jinny: I mean, you; US. Is this what’s going to happen to us? I’m going to go to work one day and come home and find you dead? Teddy...
Teddy: Jinny, calm down. Okay? (hugs her for a long time) Jinny, I love you. I want to marry you for better, for worse, in sickness and health, until death do us part, okay? If I’m going to die, I want to die, loving you. No matter how that may be; six months, or sixty years, the last thing I want to think about, is you: your face; your smile; and I want to know that you love me just as much. That’s all I care about.
Jinny: (looking at him, quiet) (smiles finally) Okay. I do love you.
Teddy: I know. And for that, I’m not going to complain about not getting to see you everyday. Maybe I can find a way to sneak over here every now and then; bring you lunch.
Jinny: (bigger smile) Okay.
Teddy: (looks at his watch) Okay, I have to go, I’m going to be in court late this evening. I knew you wanted to talk to me, so I ran over.
(Teddy bends over slight and kisses her gently, but quickly. Jinny puts her hand up, behind his head and pulls him back to her, once he pulls away. They kiss again, more deeply, more slowly, both having to draw in a breath when they finally part. Jinny smiles at him and he returns it as he turns to leave.)
Teddy: I’ll see you around, Inspector.
Jinny: (nods to his back, stands watching him leave until the door is shut)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny walked out of the building, at quitting time, subconsciously studying her surroundings. She walked to her car, looking in the back seat, before entering, and drove off. She made her way to her apartment quickly and closed the door behind her, leaning against it and running a hand through her hair. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself and walked to her refrigerator. She stood there holding the door, for sometime, finally settling on a diet soda and leftover chicken. She settled on the sofa with her dinner, to watch some television, but could find nothing of interest.)
(Jinny watched the news, and flipped the television off. She paced the length of her apartment several times. Had this been an ordinary day, she’d have thought nothing of going for a run right about now, but this wasn’t an ordinary day, and she didn’t feel like going for a run. Jinny jumped at the sounds of her phone ringing, then chided herself for being so uptight. She answered the phone wearily, swearing to herself, to be sure to invest in one of those caller ID boxes.)
Jinny: Hello, Exstead. (pause, sigh) No, thank you, I am not interested in changing phone companies. (pause) No, thank you. (pause, obviously annoyed) See, I said, “No, thank you.” So, here’s the part where you say, “Thank you for you time, have a nice day,” and hang up. (slams down the phone) Jerk.
(Jinny continued to pace. She packed her dirty clothes, with the intention of taking them to her dad’s to wash, but lost heart, and decided to stay home, instead. She vacuumed, dusted, and even cleaned her bathroom, the task she dreaded the most, and only did, when she could no longer tolerate the sight of it. Hey, everybody has their weakness. She returned to her living room after retrieving another diet soda, and turned the television back on, hoping to catch something of interest, perhaps on Court TV.)
(Jinny had nearly drifted off, when a loud noise could be heard from the back of her apartment. She jumped, thinking that perhaps her mind were playing tricks on her. She glanced up at the clock on the wall. 1:00 in the morning. She reached over quietly, and retrieved her weapon. She proceeded quietly through the apartment, to where she believed the noise had originated. She turned into her bathroom with her weapon held up, ready to aim at anybody or anything that might present itself. She searched the room’s interior and found no one. The curtains were blowing in the breeze; she’d forgotten about opening the window when she was using the cleaners. Laying on the floor was the mop, apparently blown over by the wind through the curtains.)
Jinny: (sighs, shaking) Damn. Can’t you be more careful.
(She reaches down to pick up the mop, as the phone rings. Jinny jumped, hitting her head against the far wall of the shower. Cursing, she traipsed through her apartment once more, rubbing her head and checking her hand for signs of bleeding. She grabbed the phone quickly, cursing to herself.)
Jinny: (hatefully) Exstead. What do you want?
Kate: Jinny? You were supposed to turn your radio on an hour ago. What happened?
Jinny: (shaking her head) Damn. I’m sorry, Cap. I guess I just nodded off. I’m turning it on now.
Kate: Yeah, well, don’t let it happen again, or you’ll be sleeping with an officer, instead of a radio.
Jinny: Cap, I don’t think he’s coming after me.
Kate: Yeah? Well, don’t be so sure of yourself. If we could predict what a killer was thinking before they carried it out, there would be a whole lot less death, and you’d be out of a job. Turn the radio on, and I’ll see you in the office in the morning.
Jinny: Yeah, right.
Kate: Goodnight, Jinny.
Jinny: Night, Cap.

dovesong 03-27-2002, 01:53 PM And just cause I love it so much, I'm posting more...
But just a little more.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny replaced the phone in its cradle and retrieved the radio. She turned it on and carried it back to her bedroom. For added measure, she slammed it down on the table by her bed. She changed her clothes and crawled into bed as quietly as she could. What was worse than sleeping with a man she didn’t know? Sleeping with two. She shook her head and looked at the radio that winked back at her in the moonlight. Jinny lay awake for some time, finally drifting off into a restless sleep, stirring every few minutes to watch the radio.)
(Her radio went off after what seemed like forever. Jinny cursed it loudly, then blushed. She got up, still listening to the radio, and retrieved clothes. She walked into the bathroom after a quick search through her apartment. She turned the shower on and undressed. She showered quickly, not liking being completely vulnerable. “God,” she thought to herself, “you are way too paranoid.” She dressed more slowly, trying to keep herself calm. She stopped in front of her bathroom door and took a deep breath before she opened it. She listened for the tune of the song that should be playing on her radio, but heard nothing but silence. Jinny thought to herself, how weird. The alarm shouldn’t have kicked of so soon.)
(Jinny felt for her gun, then cursed herself for having left it in her bedroom. She made her way cautiously towards her bedroom. She peaked inside and saw nothing. She inched further inside, but saw nothing, or no one. She hurried to her bedside table and picked up her holster. It was too light. She felt for her revolver; gone. She looked around the room; thinking perhaps she hadn’t returned it to her holster last night. It was no where to be seen. She stopped and stared at her bed. It was neatly made and lying on the pillow was a sheet of paper with writing on it. She picked it up and read it: BANG YOU'RE DEAD .)

(Jinny could do nothing but stare at the note. She snapped back to reality and went to her dresser. She pulled out the drawer where she kept her own personal weapon. She picked up the pistol and checked it. She pulled out a clip and snapped it home. She returned to her bedside and picked up the radio. It was turned off. She snapped it to the back of her pants and continued on through her apartment, rechecking the bathroom as she passed it by. She turned the corner to the living, empty. She could see through to the kitchen. It too was empty, but she made sure to check behind the bar that divided the two.)
(On her kitchen table sat a bowl of cereal, half eaten, an empty milk container, and another note: Tut tut, how careless Made you coffee. Jinny began to shake uncontrollably as she picked up the phone, then changed her mind, slamming it back down. She stormed out of her apartment and down the stairs. Probably not her wisest move, considering it left her open and alone, but she was beyond caring, at this point.)
(The officers across the street saw her exit the building and started their car, prepared to follow her to work; where their shift would end. Their back-up had arrived shortly before and was sitting behind them, waiting for their departure. Jinny, however, did not get in her own vehicle, but crossed the street, coming toward their car. She jerked open the door on the driver’s side and jerked the officer out, slamming his back against the car; both hands on his collar.)
Jinny: (angrily, obviously agitated) What the hell have you been doing all night, huh?! What?!?! Did you go to sleep or what?!!
Officer: (only opens his mouth to speak, but never gets the opportunity)
(The other three officers, the one remaining in this car, and their replacements in the next car, run to the aid of their fellow officer. They try to pull Jinny off, still screaming, of the terrified officer. They finally get Jinny separated from him, holding both of her arms so she doesn’t return. Jinny had not paid any attention to who was around her. Once she had calmed down slightly, she recognized on of the officers that had a hold of her; her brother, John Jr. Once he’d realized she was slightly more level-headed, he spoke to her.)
JnJr.: What the hell was that all about?
Jinny: (still angry) What was that all about? Someone was in my apartment this morning John! Where the hell were you guys at? Huh? He ate my food, sitting at my table. He took my gun, John! (looking back at the officer she had nearly pummeled) And where the hell were you?
Officer: (opens his mouth to answer)
JnJr.: (puts a hand up to stop him, he knows his sister too well) Listen, Jin. Go to work. Okay? Talk to the captain. File a report on the weapon. And for God’s sake, calm the hell down.
(Jinny just stares at John for some time, but turns and walks back across the street. As she turns, she hears the officer with John say something and John’s response.)
JnJr.: That’s my sister. Hot-headed as hell itself.

(She ignores his statement, getting in the car and slamming the door. She starts the car, seeing the officers across the street scurry to keep up with her. She throws the car into drive and pulls out onto the road quickly, and is gone before the officers can catch up. She pulls into the station only minutes later, having exceeded the speed limit tremendously in her anger. She flashed her badge as she walked through the metal detectors. She even bypassed the coffee and Magda on her to the elevator. Magda, however, caught up before the elevator arrived.)
Magda: (handing Jinny a cup of coffee) Morning. (no response) Okay. How did you sleep last night?
Jinny: (just looks at Magda, still having not accepted the coffee)
Magda: (notices how agitated Jinny is; she can’t stand still, her hands are in constant motion) Jinny? Are you okay? What’s wrong?
Jinny: (the elevator opens and Jinny enters followed by Magda)
Magda: Jinny, you’re scaring me. Talk to me.
Jinny: (sighs) He was in my apartment, Magda.
Magda: Who, Jinny?
Jinny: Compton. Who do you think?
Magda: How do you know that?
Jinny: He invited himself to breakfast. He made coffee. (makes a face) He made my bed, Magda. And he took my gun.
Magda: (watching Jinny, amazed at the things she was saying) What are you going to do? What happened to the guys outside?
(The elevator doors opened and Jinny got off, followed by Magda. The two marched past CD and Nate. Nate gave CD a questioning look, knowing Jinny was obviously upset about something. Jinny opened the Captain’s door, without knocking, inside was Captain McCafferty and DC Charles Haysbert.)
Jinny: Excuse me, am I interrupting something? (not meaning it)
DC: (angry with the interruption) Inspector Exstead, we were just talking about you.
Jinny: (taken off guard only briefly; ignores Charles, and turns to Kate) He was in my apartment this morning.
Kate: Who? Compton?
DC: Why didn’t you detain him?
Jinny: (still ignoring Charles) I was in the shower, I guess. I got out of the shower and found these (handing Kate the notes).
Kate: (reading the notes) Bang you’re dead?
Jinny: (leaving out details) That one was on my bed.
Kate: (monotone voice) Tut, tut, how careless; I made you coffee?
Jinny: On my kitchen table.
DC: He made you coffee? And you’re certain that this wasn’t another one of your disgruntled boyfriends? You didn’t smell the coffee brewing?
Jinny: (locking eyes with Haysbert) I was in the shower. I was too busy after I got out of the shower trying to stay alive to worry about smelling coffee. (back to Kate) He took my gun.
Kate: (disbelief) He took your gun? Where was it?
Jinny: In my bedroom, beside my bed, where it is every night.
Kate: And the radio?
Jinny: Turned off. (remembers the radio attached to her pants, takes it off, sets it down on Kate’s desk)
Kate: You’re sure it was on when you went to take a shower?
Jinny: Yes, I’m sure.
Kate: And the officers posted outside?
Jinny: (anger rising) You tell me.
Kate: I’ll question them. I’ll also send Nate and CD and a few officers over to print your apartment. Give them the details and where they might find prints. You have your holster on you? They can start there. In the meantime, go up and file your weapon as missing, they’ll issue you a temporary weapon. Let’s just hope we find it before it finds a target.
Jinny: (nods and turns to leave)
DC: (as Jinny is leaving) Inspector, (Jinny turns back) You never actually saw anyone in your apartment, did you?
Jinny: (gives him a cold stare, turns, and walks out, slamming the door behind her)

dovesong 04-01-2002, 04:53 PM Thank you all so much for replying, I'm glad you like this. Here's a little more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: (looks at Charles in disbelief) I can’t believe you.
DC: What? Kate, please. Do you really think someone would come into a home, with the intent to kill someone, and fix himself a pot of coffee?
Kate: I’ve seen worse. So have you.
DC: Kate...
Kate: Charles, Jinny is a good cop. She’s done well for herself and worked hard this past year to alleviate any doubts about her sobriety. Whatever your feelings towards her, you cannot say her performance hasn’t improved.
DC: (silent, staring)
Kate: I didn’t think so. If that’s all you had, I have a meeting to attend. (gets up and opens the door for Charles to leave)
DC: (gets up to leave; stops by Kate) This isn’t over Kate.
Kate: On the contrary Charles. You’ve tried to get her off this force for a year, and for a year, I’ve been tolerant of your efforts, but no longer. If you continue to pursue this, I’m going to be forced to request a meeting with the Chief of Police, to discuss this matter further.
DC: (silence)
Kate: Have a good day, Charles.
DC: (sighs and leaves)
(Jinny returned after logging her weapon as stolen and being issued a temporary one. As soon as she returned, Raina informed her that Captain McCafferty had asked to see her. She knocked on the door and entered after the Captain bade her do so.)
Jinny: (pauses in doorway) You, uh, wanted to see me, Cap?
Kate: (looks up from paperwork) Well I’m glad to see you’ve calmed down a little. Come in, have a seat.
Jinny: (makes a face) Uh, sorry about that.
Kate: And you wonder why he’s so hard on you.
Jinny: I’m not sure, exactly, how to answer that.
Kate: It wasn’t a question. (changes direction) I spoke to the officers posted outside your apartment last night. No one entered or exited your apartment building last night.
Jinny: (accusatory) He was there! I’m not in the habit of sleep walking. I did not make that coffee and I did not fix myself cereal, and for that matter, I don’t make my bed. He was there. And it wasn’t some old fling.
Kate: (calmly) I’m not saying you lied. I’m merely stating the facts. (pause)
Jinny: (opens her mouth to speak)
Kate: (raises her hand to stop Jinny) And I’m not finished. Since he didn’t enter or exit the building last night, we have to presume that he was in the building. Anyone besides you move in this past week?
Jinny: Not that I know of.
Kate: We need to get a list of the tenants in the building; see if we can find a link between Compton, and anyone in that building. We need to get a photo of Compton to the manager to see if he can identify him.
Jinny: (nods)
Kate: My dilemma (pauses for a moment) is what to do with you until this is over. I think I need to take you off this case.
Jinny: (in disbelief) You’re going to do what?
Kate: I’m taking you off this case.
Jinny: You can’t do that! I’m the only one here that knows anything about this case.
Kate: I understand that. You can share that information with CD and Nate. I’m putting them on this.
Jinny: No, you can’t. I’m not going to run and hide from this guy.
Kate: I have to think of your safety first.
Jinny: Oh, come one. That’s a bunch of crap! My safety is compromised everyday I walk in here. I want to stay on this case.
Kate: (thinks) You’re sure about that?
Jinny: Yes.
Kate: Fine, but Nate and CD are backing you up on this. And you’re not to go anywhere alone. Not even home. Stay with your dad or one of your brothers, where you have some protection.
Jinny: (sighs) I’m a big girl, Cap. I can take care of myself. Besides, I’m not going to run the risk of endangering their lives, too.
Kate: Jinny, I’m not having this conversation with you. If you insist on going home, it will be with a uniformed officer, at all times.
Jinny: (opens her mouth to speak)
Kate: I’m sorry, but that’s how it’s going to be.
Jinny: (closes her mouth, nods) Um, can I ask a question?
Kate: Sure.
Jinny: (pauses, wondering if it’s something she really needs to ask, yes it is) What about Teddy?
Kate: What about Mr. Bluementhal?
Jinny: This guy killed Officer Martin’s family, not officer Martin. I’m just (pause) I’m more worried about Teddy than I am myself.
Kate: I understand. We’ll see what we can do.
Jinny: Thanks, Cap.
Kate: Don’t mention it. Go on, I have work to do. (as Jinny is leaving) And Jinny...
Jinny: (turns back) Yeah, Cap?
Kate: (sighs, shaking her head) Stay out of DC Haysbert’s path.
Jinny: (nods, teasing) You won’t have to tell me twice.
Kate: (nods, motions for Jinny to leave)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny left the captain’s office and sat back down at her desk to gather the information about Compton for their trip to question officer Martin. Magda reappeared from the bathroom and Jinny stood to go.)
Jinny: You ready?
Magda: Yeah, just let me call and check on Ben first, okay?
Jinny: He still sick?
Magda: Well, he isn’t throwing up any more, but I kept him home. He’s at my mother’s house. I’ll just be a minute.
Jinny: (sits back down) Sure, take your time.
Magda: (after hanging up the phone) He’s fine, you ready?
Jinny: Yes, let’s do it.
(Jinny and Magda left the office and rode the elevator down to the ground floor. As they were leaving, they passed Teddy. Teddy turned and watched Jinny exit the building. She’d paid him no mind. Though he knew her intentions were to protect him, it still hurt him more than he thought it would. He felt himself sigh and continued on to his destination.)
Magda:(once they were in the car and on their way) Boy, Teddy looked pretty heart broken, back there. You could have said hi, or bye, or something.
Jinny: Mag, it’s for his own protection. I can’t run the risk of Compton finding out I’m seeing anyone. I’d like Teddy to be around for a while.
Magda: Jinny. If you notice, he’s not around, right now, only because you don’t want him to be. He could care less about this guy, he just wants to be with you. And you’re pushing him away, again.
Jinny: It’s not going to be forever, Mag, just until we catch this guy.
Magda: Yeah, but it already feels like forever doesn’t it?
Jinny: (looks at Magda and smiles, shyly)
Magda: (big smile, teasing) Yeah, see? Call him when you get back. Tell him you’re sorry and ask him out to dinner.
Jinny: Yeah, with two uniformed officers as an escort, and afterwards, we’ll provide their entertainment for the night. I don’t think so, Mag.
Magda: Jinny. (looks at a house as they pass it by) I think we just passed it, Jinny. Turn around and go back.
Jinny: Okay, okay. Give me a minute to find a place to turn.
(Jinny drove on down the road and turned into a small market on the corner. She turned around and headed back up the street. She pulled into a parking space across the street from the house in question. Magda got out of the car along with Jinny and they rushed across the street. They walked up and knocked on the door and waited. After several minutes without a response, Jinny became nervous.)
Magda: Didn’t you say he was expecting us?
Jinny: (nods) Yeah, I talked to him yesterday afternoon.
(Jinny knocked again, louder, calling out. She looked around at the people passing by in their cars, and the people walking down the street. Jinny noticed a man appear on the sidewalk from the hedges in the neighboring yard. He turned and looked back, then turned quickly and walked hurriedly down the street. Jinny turned and looked at Magda, then took off, following him.)
(Magda called for backup, then knocked on the door a few more times and kicked the door in. She made her way cautiously through the house, checking each room as she progressed. She found Officer Martin, laying in a pool of blood, one hand over a gaping wound in his side, the other trying to hold himself up; blood spilling down his lips. Magda rushed over to him and put a hand behind his head to support him. She felt a huge bloody patch on the back of his head, where his scalp and hair were missing. She immediately felt the repulsion working it’s way through her, and had to turn to keep from being ill. After a few minutes, she regained control and turned back to him, to hear his final words.)
OM: It was...him...He...did...this. (closes his eyes, as his body slumps back to the ground)
Magda:(to herself) Oh, God. (into her radio, which is now covered in blood) Officer down. Repeat, officer down, 2-1-3 Harrison Street.
(Jinny is following the man, when he notices her. He turns and runs down an empty alley way. Jinny pauses only briefly before giving chase, her weapon now drawn. The alleyway is dark, and soon Jinny hears a motorcycle start up, and head her way. She jumps aside in time to avoid being take down by the motorcycle. She rolls a couple of times and lands on her stomach firing at her assailant. She strikes him in the leg, the impact almost causing him to lose control of the motorcycle, but he quickly compensates and continues on his way.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go, maybe more this evening, if I get any replies.
Esperanza 04-02-2002, 05:29 PM kay... you got replys so now you can feel free to add more!
Ewan's My Man 04-02-2002, 06:01 PM OK...like...I need more!!!!!!!
Since 'replies' is plural and I didn't reply to your April 1 post because I was out of town-I shall reply TWICE! ...so you can post more tonight;) First post on this page...AMAZING! I love how Cap kinda ended that mess with Charles. She's not gonna take anything off him and that's how it should be! Go Cap!
...on to second post...
ks
Concerning your second post on this page...
AHHHH! I understand that you wanta check on the dude in the house, Mag, but work with me here, watch Jinny's back!
Poor Teddy, I'd hate that.
Ok, so I replied twice and I'm really loving this fic and I've recently been really stressed and frustrated, therefore I would REALLY appreciate if you'd post more tonight...PLEEZE:D
ks
dovesong 04-02-2002, 09:43 PM Wow, there are still people out there, okay here's more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny makes sure to read the license plate and copies it down in her black book before rising and heading back to the house at a quick jog, but soon slows her pace due to the pain shooting through her ankle and lower leg, apparently from her dive for cover to avoid the maniacal driver. She stops completely about two blocks from the house she had just recently departed. Ahead of her were several more police cars and an ambulance with lights flashing. Terrifying pictures of Magda’s dead body flashed before her face. She dashed the final way, flashing her badge at the officer posted outside the house. She did not wait for his approval, but raced up the stairs and in the front door. All the way through the house, her limp now even more prominent, she called Magda’s name.)
(How in the work could she have been so stupid; so selfish, as to leave Magda, and give chase to that guy. Jinny thought that was something the drunk Jinny would have done. Magda finally appeared out of a room at the back of the house, covered in blood. Jinny’s first reaction was to panic, and run to her.)
Jinny: Oh, God! Magda, are you okay? I’m sorry, Mag, I’m sorry. I...
Magda: Jinny, (finally breaking through) Jinny, I’m okay. I’m not hurt. Calm down, okay. I’m all right.
Jinny: (look of wonder) Then...
Magda: (indicates the room she just vacated) Officer Martin is dead.
Jinny: (cursing, hits the wall, then kicks it, sorry afterward)
Magda: Looks like maybe he was struck in the back of the head, then shot a couple of times. He said it was him. (watching Jinny, whose still leaning against the wall, face towards it) Hey, Jin, are you okay?
Jinny: (looks up, toward Magda) Yeah, I, uh, sprained my ankle or something giving chase. Bastard almost ran over me with a motorcycle. I shot him, but...(shaking her head) it didn’t take him down.
Magda: Well, there’s nothing we can do here, now. The ambulance isn’t needed for Officer Martin, so let’s get you looked at.
Jinny: No, (walks toward the room, where all the buzz is) I want to see him.
Magda: Jinny, you don’t want to see that. It isn’t necessary.
Jinny: He was my partner, Mag, I want to see him.
Magda: (throws hands up, shrugging) Okay.
(Jinny limps into the room. Her first glance at the dead officer laying on the floor, stops her, briefly. She continues on into the room and kneels by Stephen, who is working quietly, methodically. She doesn’t touch the body, merely stares at it. She bids the officer goodbye, then stands and rejoins Magda as they depart the scene. Magda runs by her own house before returning to the station, to shower and clean up. Jinny sits on the couch, with her foot propped up, waiting.)
(Jinny and Magda walk into the station solemnly and knock on the Captain’s door. When the open the door, CD and Nate are already there, so they close the door and return to their desks and sit. Raina looks up from her paperwork.)
Raina: Oh, hey, by the way, CD and Nate are already in there. Sorry, I was caught up in reading about this caper. (looks at Jinny) You look rough, what happened?
Jinny: Thank you for noticing, nothing happened. (gets up and limps off toward the locker room)
Magda: (rolls her eyes at Jinny, then turns to Raina) Officer Martin was murdered this morning before we could talk to him, and Jinny chased this guy away from the house, but didn’t catch him. She’s pretty upset about it.
Raina: (nods, then turns back to her papers)
(CD and Nate exit the captain’s office and nod to Magda, to let her know it’s their turn. Magda gets up and asks Raina to find Jinny. Raina nods and gets up. She follows Jinny into the locker room and informs her that she is needed in the captain’s office.)
Jinny: (knocks on Kate’s door, and enters)
Kate: Come on in. (watches Jinny limp in) You should have that looked at.
Jinny: It’s okay. Bumps and bruises.
Kate: It was a suggestion, I can make it an order if need be.
Jinny: Fine. I’ll have it looked at.
Kate: Thank you. So fill me in. What happened?
Magda: (waits to see if Jinny is going to answer) We got to the house, there was no answer. This guy came out of the bushes at the neighbor’s and headed down the street and Jinny pursued him. I called for back up and headed inside to look for Officer Martin. When I found him, he had been shot and was bleeding pretty badly. He was, um, I think he had been struck in the back of the head first, because, there was skin and hair missing from the back of his head. He said it was him, and then, (pause) he died. The house was clear.
Kate: What about the guy you ran after? Was it Compton?
Jinny: I don’t know, I never got a good look at his face. I’d say it was, though, he always did his own dirty work.
Kate: What happened?
Jinny: I chased him for several blocks, but I couldn’t catch up. He ran down an alley, and by the time I got there...(pauses, shaking her head) He must’ve had a bike waiting on him; he tried to run me over. I shot him, but it wasn’t enough. (to herself) It just wasn’t enough.
Kate: Don’t beat yourself up over it. If you got him, that’ll leave a trail. He’ll have to be treated at a hospital. I’ll have Raina start making calls. What about tags on the bike? Were there any?
Jinny: (pulls out her black book, she had forgotten that) Um, yeah. TN 3489. I think California. I wasn’t paying too much attention to the state. Just trying to concentrate on getting the numbers before he got out of sight.
Kate: The numbers are fine. I’ll have them run.
(Raina barges into the room after a quick knock and hands the captain a paper and waits for the captain the read it. She nods her thanks and Raina trails out of the room, slowly.)
Kate: There was a weapon found outside the room that Officer Martin was shot in. (looks at Jinny) It was yours. You prints are the only ones on the weapon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good place to stop for a while.......anyone reading still reading? Or have you all gone to bed.....or (ks) crawled back into your hole?
Babes_Cat 04-02-2002, 09:47 PM MICHELLE MOOOOOOOOOOOOORE PLEASE!
Divisionbabe05 04-02-2002, 10:09 PM seriously...this kicks ass...more!
Amazing! Please don't stop there, this is so good!
Might I just say I've come out of my hole 3 times tonight just to read your fic. You should feel honored because I usually only appear once a night on these fanfic boards. In other words-I'm lovin' this fic and as long as you keep updatin' I'll keep coming out of my hole;)
...since there is no more fic to read at the moment off to my hole to do this thing called 'holework.' Talk about torture techniques:rolleyes: Ranks right up there with leaving me hanging on this fic!
ks
Esperanza 04-02-2002, 10:59 PM This just keeps getting better and better even when i think it can't possibly be any better!!!! So add more!!!!
dovesong 04-03-2002, 12:53 PM Okay ladies (you know who you are), here is the lead in.......
The best is yet to come.....but it's coming........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: There was a weapon found outside the room that Officer Martin was shot in. (looks at Jinny) It was yours. Your prints are the only ones on the weapon. He knows how to cover his tracks. I think you probably caught him off guard. He wasn’t expecting that body to be found for a while.
Jinny: Well, we just didn’t make it there soon enough.
Kate: (sympathetic) You did everything you could. Let’s wait to see what we find out from the hospitals and the Department of Motor Vehicles. On another note, I’m still assigning an officer to your off duty hours. Don’t go anywhere, I do mean anywhere alone. The same will go for Mr. Blumenthal.
Jinny: Thank you.
Kate: You’re welcome.
Jinny: I mean for Teddy. We need to talk about...
Kate: There’s no room for discussion here, Jinny. Magda will take you to the ER to have that looked at (point to her leg).
Jinny: (opens her mouth to rebut)
Kate: (hold up a hand to stop her, then motions for them to leave)
(Jinny follows Magda out of Kate’s office and sits down, placing her head on her arms on the desk. Magda wanders into the locker room and retrieves her purse. Then returns. She pats Jinny on the back and Jinny gets up and follows her out of the office, where they run into Teddy. Jinny tried very hard to stay still.)
Teddy: (in passing) Good afternoon, Inspectors. (mistakes Jinny’s standing still, as a need to talk to him, turns back around to her)
Jinny: (smiles, almost caught) Hey, what’s up?
Teddy: I, uh, thought you might have needed something.
Magda: (smiles, amused at Jinny’s predicament)
Jinny: No, I just...I’m, um.....waiting for the elevator.
Teddy: (points over towards the elevator) You haven’t pushed the button yet.
Jinny: (nods, smiles) Right. Magda. Magda was just going to push the button.
Magda: (walks slowly to the elevator, pushing the button, it opens immediately)
Teddy: There it is.
Jinny: (still smiling) Yeah, hey, there it is. So, um, I’ll see you later.
Teddy: Actually, you know, if you’re going to the ground, I’ll go with you. I left some documents in my car that I’m going to need after lunch. Have you had lunch?
Jinny: (still standing still) No. Not yet. We kind of have an appointment to make first, so...
Teddy: Okay, I’ll walk you down.
Jinny: Really, that’s okay.
Teddy: No, really, I don’t mind at all. (teasing now) You can keep me safe.
Jinny: Right. Okay, then, let’s go. (makes a face as she turns and slowly heads toward the elevator, making her best attempt at not limping)
Teddy: (now in the elevator, on their way down) So, what’s this appointment? Is it with you old partner?
Magda: N...
Jinny: (quickly) Yes. We need to question him, and um, (pause) question him. (nods)
Teddy: (suspiciously) You know, one of the qualities of a good lawyer, is being able to tell when someone’s lying.
Jinny: Right. (pauses, to walk out of the elevator, giving up on trying to hide anything; takes Teddy to the side, out of earshot of anyone else, Magda follows) We went to question Officer Martin this morning. He’s dead.
Teddy: Dead? (watching Jinny struggle to walk) What happened to you?
Jinny: He was found, shot...(pause) With my gun...(pause)...which Compton stole out of my apartment, last night.
Teddy: (loudly) WHAT!!!??
Jinny: Shhhhh!!! It’s okay, really.
Teddy: How did he.....(changes direction) Jinny, you’re not going back there are you?
Jinny: Teddy, I live there. That’s my home. I’m not just going to let him scare me...
Teddy: Then, I’m coming home with you.
Jinny: No, you’re not. You’re a sitting duck.
Teddy: I’m not. I can defend myself. I’m getting to be a pretty good shot.
Jinny: (almost laughing) Teddy, (pauses to regain her composure) This is a murderer we’re talking about, okay. Someone who will, with no hesitation, pull the trigger. Could you do that?
Teddy: (pauses) I’m sure, if it...
Jinny: (stops him) Your mother ever tell you not to play with fire? Well, you just got burnt, my friend. That hesitation just cost you your life.
Teddy: (slightly embarrassed) Point taken. I still worry about you.
Jinny: I know. But I’ll be okay.
Teddy: (looking down at her feet) You look okay. What happened?
Jinny: (shaking her head) I sprained it. It’s okay, but I have to go have it looked at. Call me tonight, okay?
Teddy: Okay. (gets closer, but the Jinny backs away)
Jinny: Bye.
Teddy: (disappointed) Bye.
(Jinny and Magda made their way to the hospital in short time, because it was only a few blocks away. Her wait was short; one of the perks of police officers. The nurse took Jinny to a small cubicle and completed the necessary forms and took her to a room where she was instructed to undress.)
Jinny: Undress? It’s my ankle, not my ass. I’ll pass on that thanks.
Nurse: (rolls her eyes, jot something on Jinny’s chart) Police officers. You have to take you shoes and socks off, and after you do that, I’ll come stick you.
Jinny: Stick me? Why?
Nurse: Protocol. Everyone coming through the ER, gets an IV line, for any emergency medicine that may be ordered.
Jinny: I don’t think this is an emergency, just common protocol for an officer injured on the job.
Nurse: Look, I’m just doing my job, don’t make this difficult on me. I get off in two hours.
(The nurse walks out, but returns with Magda. She then leaves and returns with the items necessary for starting an IV line.)
Jinny: I still don’t see why this is necessary.
Nurse: I told you....
Jinny: Yeah, I know, protocol. Can we get this over with?
(With much fussing, the nurse gets the line in on the second attempt. Shortly, the doctor arrives and examines Jinny ankle. Jinny winces with the manipulation and the doctor sends her for x-rays. Once the x-rays are developed and handed over to him, he returns to explain his finding to Jinny and Magda. He flips the switch on the light board and sticks the x-rays up.)
Doc: Congratulations. You have mild sprain, and an otherwise perfectly healthy foot. (turns and winks at her) And a very pretty one, if I might add.
Jinny: Wonderful. Can I go, now?
Doc: Sure. I’m going to write you a prescription for a pain pill, and put you off work until Monday. Stay home, keep it up. Put ice on it, that’ll help the swelling. (hands the papers to her) And if the pain medicine doesn’t help, the last scrip is my home number. Some of my patients tell me I’m good medicine.
Jinny: (taking the sheets of paper, making sure to flash her engagement ring) What? As a sleep aid? Are we done?
Doc: (Coolly) Of course, I’ll have the nurse bring your discharge papers for you to sign, and she’ll take out the Heplock. Stay off that foot.
Jinny: I have work to do, doc.
Doc: As long as you can do it from a desk, you’ll be just fine, otherwise, you can return to work Monday. Have a good day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, anyone ready for the next part? (If you're a Jinny/Teddy fan, I'd recommend saying 'YES' here, lol)
Babes_Cat 04-03-2002, 01:22 PM YES!
MORE!
Jeanie 04-03-2002, 01:59 PM YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made sure you wouldn't miss this reply. I am also taking a chance at getting caught at work just so you know I can't wait.

dovesong 04-03-2002, 05:50 PM Okay are you ready for this.......you may want to sit down......
This, I will have you know is about six pages of text, that I have written today, to get myself to this point......I hope you appreciate this *ahem* (you know who you are) and I want more too.......since I know you wrote last night.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny returns to the station long enough to pass her work excuse on to the Captain, who refused to hear of her working that way, and sent her home. Magda took her passed the pharmacy to fill her prescriptions and on home, where there was an officer posted outside her apartment and Casey, waiting to follow her inside. Jinny was thankful for even small favors. She hugged him and opened her apartment. They sat on the couch most of the even, laughing about anything that they found funny, which was most everything once Jinny took her pain medication. She finally drifted off to sleep for a while, until there was a knock on her door.)
(Jinny groggily got up and answered the door, Casey standing behind the door, weapon drawn. Jinny sighed at the sight of John Jr. standing before her, with Chinese food boxes in his arms.)
Jn.Jr.: So what? Are you going to invited me in or what?
Jinny: Sure, (running a hand through her hair) Come in.
Jn.Jr.: (watches Jinny stumble back to the couch) What the hell have you been drinking?
Casey: (defensively) She hasn’t been drinking anything, John. She got hurt at work today. She took some pain medicine.
Jn.Jr.: Good shot of whiskey would do just as good. You got anything in this place to drink?
Casey: You’re working, John, or did you forget that part of the assignment?
Jn.Jr.: Would you just shut up?!?!
Casey: I’m leaving. The stuff is in a folder on the kitchen table. Familiarize yourself with it. (walks back to Jinny on the couch, and hugs her) I’ll see you in the morning, Jin. Take care. Love you, okay?
Jn.Jr.: Now what it that hard to tell a woman you love her? Why can’t you just do that more often? God, Casey.
Jinny: John, can’t you just leave him alone?
Jn.Jr.: He’s a f...
Jinny: (raising her voice) Hey!! Leave him alone, John!
Casey: (leaves, shaking his head)
Jn.Jr.: (retrieves a fork from the kitchen, and plops down on the couch, taking the remote from a very sleepy Jinny)
(After sleeping about an hour the phone rings. John, Jr. nudges Jinny awake to answer it. Jinny picks up the phone, dropping it as she tried to put it to her ear.)
Jinny: Hello? Hey, Teddy.
Teddy: (hearing the loud noises through the phone) What are you doing? Having a party?
Jinny: (loud, directed at John, Jr.) No that’s John with the TV, which he’s turning down now!
Jn.Jr.: (turns down the television, reluctantly, fussing)
Jinny: Okay, hey. What’s up?
Teddy: Nothing much. You know, hey, listen, you wouldn’t know anything about the officers that are sitting outside my house and in my living room would you?
Jinny: (smiling) Officers? No, not a clue. Why?
Teddy: Just wondering. I got home and this guy was sitting on my front porch, waiting on me, and I thought of you for some reason.
Jinny: (still smiling) I’m sorry, I just...I was worried about you.
Jn.Jr.: (mimicking Jinny’s words)
(Jinny takes the pillow from behind her head and hits John, Jr. upside the head with it. They begin a game of tug-of-war with the pillow. Jinny balances the phone between her shoulder and her ear, using both hands to pull on the pillow. She loses the pillow and drops the phone, screaming, trying to get away from John, Jr. before he hits her with the pillow. She pick the phone back up quickly.)
Jinny: (to the phone) I’m sorry. Hey, hold on until I can get to the phone in my room.
Teddy: Okay.
Jinny: (limps off to her room and picks up the phone) Okay, John! Hang up the phone! (waits until she hears the click of the other phone) Okay, I’m back.
Teddy: Good, how are you? What’d the doctor say?
Jinny: He said I’m fine. That I have a sprain and put me off until Monday.
Teddy: I’m glad you’re okay. I wish this was over. I wish you were safe.
Jinny: I’m fine Teddy. So what’s this about you being a good shot? I didn’t know you even owned a weapon.
Teddy: I bought a pistol not long after I was mugged last year. I don’t carry it on me, but I keep it close by here at home. I’m getting to be a pretty good shot with it.
Jinny: On a silent target.
Teddy: Yeah, but...
Jinny: Why didn’t you ever tell me?
Teddy: Because I figured you just laugh.
Jinny: (blushes, remembering earlier) Oh, Sorry.
Teddy: That’s okay.
(Both are silent for a time)
Teddy: I miss you, Jin.
Jinny: I miss you, too.
Teddy: Where are you?
Jinny: What do you mean?
Teddy: In your bedroom?
Jinny: (suspiciously) Yes.
Teddy: Alone?
Jinny: Yes.
Teddy: Want some company?
Jinny: (laughs softly)
Teddy: Seriously. I could sneak over there and we could talk.
Jinny: Teddy, you have an officer inside your house and two outside. You’re not getting away that easily. And it’s not advisable that you be alone right now anyway.
Teddy: You’re right. Well, I’m going to get off here and get some sleep. Okay?
Jinny: Okay, I’ll talk to you later.
Teddy: I love you, Jinny.
Jinny: (blushes, not used to hearing those words, or saying them) I love you, too.
Teddy: Bye.
Jinny: Bye.
Jinny: (smiling at the phone as she hung it up) I really do love you. (amazed at how easily she could say that about Teddy)
(Jinny had settled into bed, thinking about the man she had agreed to marry. She never thought she see the day, when she, Virginia Exstead, would settle down, stay sober for a week, let alone a year, and settle on one man to make her happy. She just hoped she could live up to her end of the relationship, and could continue to make him happy as well. Images of her mother kept flashing through her head. What had made her so unhappy? What made her do it? No matter how long she was sober, she still felt the desire to drink, when she thought of her mother; maybe she should have invited Teddy to come over.)
(Tear welled up in her eyes as she thought of her mother; she was about to pick up the phone to call Dusty, when she thought she heard something outside her window. She retrieved her pistol from her bedside and hobbled over to the side of her window, where she couldn’t be seen. Just as she was pointing the pistol, she saw Teddy’s face as he appeared, and pecked on the window. Her first reaction was to pull the trigger, but caught herself just in the nick of time. She sighed heavily and breathed deeply, trying to calm herself down. She opened the window with shaking fingers, one hand still holding the pistol.)
(Teddy climbed in to hug a still shaken Jinny. He took her in his arms, apologizing profusely. She put her arms around him and laid her head on his chest, the cold metal of the gun, pressing against his back. He released her long enough to take the weapon and lay it on her bedside table. Smiling, he took her back into his arms.)
Jinny: (in hushed tones) God, Teddy, I almost killed you. What are you doing here? Where’s your surveillance?
Teddy: I, um, snuck out. (smiling) I had to see you, I missed you.
Jinny: And why did you come up the fire escape?
Teddy: It worked for Romeo.
Jinny: Romeo died. You shouldn’t be here. John’s outside, he doesn’t know you’re here. Hell, he doesn’t even know we’re seeing each other. Teddy you can‘t....
(Teddy hushed Jinny’s protests as his lips met hers. At first, she tried to pull away, but he held her tightly. Her own desire for him shortly overcame her and she gave in to him, kissing him, passionately. There was an urgency to their kisses that pushed all other thoughts away. Jinny held herself against him, as she reached behind him to close and lock her window. They parted briefly.)
Teddy: You haven’t changed into your night clothes. Want some help?
Jinny: (out of breath, nods slowly, looking into his eyes)
(Teddy slowly unbuttons the blouse that Jinny has on, exposing the lacy, black bra underneath. The shiny material winks at him in the moon light. He kisses her neck tenderly as he slides the shirt over her shoulders and down her arms, she turns her head to the side to make herself more accessible. The buttons on the sleeves keep the shirt on her hands, so he kneels down, on his knees, pushing her hands behind her, and begins to work at those buttons, kissing her firm, flat stomach as he is doing so, then once the shirt is on the floor, he trails his kisses back up to her neck. Her pants are the next to go, leaving her in her matching bra and panties.)
Teddy: Did you have some more clothes to put on?
Jinny: Clothes? (she picks up the t-shirt and men’s boxers that she had laid on the bed to change into, and pitches them to the side, smiling) What clothes?
(Teddy returns her smile as he leans in to kiss her again. She shivers and he pulls her close, arms around her, hands sliding up and down her back, lightly massaging. Jinny un-tucks his shirt and slides her hands up his back underneath it, holding on to him tightly. She turns loose and begins to unbutton his shirt, tossing it aside as he did hers. She pauses to look at him, then up at him, smiling)
Jinny: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in jeans. (lol, Jeanie, I hadda put that in there, cuz he's so fine in them jeans!
Teddy: Oh, yeah? You like them? (turns his back to her, teasing) You don’t think they make my butt look big?
Jinny: (smiling, slight nod) No, (embarrassed) that’s not exactly what I was thinking. They give you that rugged, outdoors, look. They make you look... (struggles to find the right word) handsome.
Teddy: (blushes slightly) Why, thank you, Madam. You look pretty handsome yourself standing there.
Jinny: Handsome, huh?
Teddy: Well, you know, attractive, (advances on her, puts his arms around her and kisses her neck), lovely, (kisses her neck, again), beautiful, (again) tempting, (yet again) Sexy.
(With that Teddy leans in to kiss her fully on the lips. Jinny kisses him hungrily, reaching to undo his pants, as they make their way, slowly backwards to the bed, still kissing passionately. They paused when the reached the bed. Jinny sat down, slowly, taking Teddy’s pants with her. She crawled up into the bed slowly, Teddy following after he finished removing his pants. They continued to kiss for several minutes, Jinny trying to find a comfortable way to lay, to protect her still sore, swollen ankle, which she had, until just recently, forgotten about.)
Teddy: See, and you had no faith that I could sneak in your window unnoticed. Contrary to what you think, I’m a pro at sneaking out at night. How do you think good, innocent school boys meet their girlfriends and still keep that good, innocent school boy image?
Jinny: (gasps, as Teddy finds her most sensitive spots) You are definitely good at something.
Teddy: (smiles in the dark) And what’s that?
(All of the sudden, there is a knock on Jinny’s door. John, Jr. calls out to Jinny)
Jn.Jr.: Jinny, you okay in there? Who are you talking to? (hand on the doorknob)
(Jinny pushes Teddy away, and onto the floor on the opposite side of the bed just as the door opens and John Jr. steps in?)
Jn.Jr.: What was that thump?
Jinny: (pulling the covers up to cover her almost-nakedness) I must have fallen asleep talking to myself, I dropped the book I was reading. I’ll pick it up in a sec. We’re...I mean, I’m okay. Go away, okay?
Jn.Jr.: Geez, Jin, put some clothes on would you? Sick... perverted....you just need to get some. What the hell are you reading, anyways? The unabridged dictionary?
Jinny: Just go, John!
(John is still talking to himself as he shuts the door and walks back down the hall. Jinny motions for Teddy to get up.)
Jinny: I’m sorry about that. That’s my big brother, by the way. I don’t think you’ve met.
Teddy: (nods, amused) He’s a, uh, nice guy.
Jinny: Not really, but you, on the other hand, are a great guy, and I love you, so...where were we?
Teddy: I believe you were about to tell me what I was good at.
Jinny: Oh, yeah? I don’t remember. Help me out a little.
Teddy: (continues with what he was doing before their interruption)
Jinny: Oh, yeah. I remember now.
Teddy: What would that be?
Jinny: (returns the favor)
Teddy: (takes a deep breath) That good, huh?
(Jinny smiled one last time before she sat up giving Teddy the opportunity, not only to undo her bra, but also to kiss her deeply, and more passionately than he had ever before. They took their love making to a new level that night. Something about the possibility of being caught, gave Jinny a surge of adrenaline that she had not experienced since she was a teenager, making out in her room. But even this time, it was different than it was then, because she was in love with this man and she wanted to please him, a feeling that was fairly new to her. Jinny discovered that, not only could she please Teddy, but also herself, more than she could have imagined possible. They lay breathless for several minutes, unable to even speak.)
(She looked over towards him, his eyes shining in the light coming through the window, and smiled at him. He pulled her toward him, and kissed her lightly on the lips. She rested her head on his shoulder, and they were silent, holding each other. Jinny had drifted off to sleep sometime, while in his arms, and awoke there later, to find him still watching her. She smiles and it is returned. Jinny ventures breaking the silence, finally.)
Jinny: Hey.
Teddy: Good morning. You know, you’re beautiful when you’re sleeping.
Jinny: (smiles at him) How long have you been awake?
Teddy: How long have you been asleep?
Jinny: You haven’t slept?
Teddy: (only smiles)
Jinny: (quiet for a few minutes) Can I ask you something?
Teddy: Ask me anything. (his smile easier to see, in the sunlight that’s beginning to spill through the window)
Jinny: You won’t get mad?
Teddy: (questioning look) No. Why would you say that?
Jinny: Because I don’t know if it’s any of my business.
Teddy: Of course it is. Ask me anything.
Jinny: (still quiet for several minutes) Tell me about Jenny. Why you broke off the engagement to her.
Teddy: (rolls from his side to his back, and sighs)
Jinny: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have asked. You don’t have to...
Teddy: No, that’s okay. It’s just...I’ve waited for you to ask that and tried to plan what I’d say, but I’m still not sure I know what to say.
Jinny: (nods once) Oh, okay. I don’t understand.
Teddy: Jenny was everything my parents wanted for me; beautiful, rich family, blessed with social graces. The perfect politician’s wife. (laughing) My parents have a picture of the Oval Office, just waiting to glue my picture to it.
Jinny: So, you were never in love with her? (Jinny knew that it wasn’t true)
Teddy: There were feelings between us. We laughed, we shared good times, but it wasn’t love. Not a love like we have, do you understand?
Jinny: (nods) I know that feeling, all too well.
Teddy: (sits up on the bed, facing her) See, we....me and you....we...I have so many feelings that I don’t know how to describe. When we’re apart, all I can think about is being with you. I’m in court, and I win a case and I can’t wait to tell you about it, because I know that you’ll be genuinely happy for me. Jenny, she’d smile and say, oh, that’s nice. She had her own little world, and we shared time when it was convenient for the both of us. When it fit her schedule. There wasn’t room for spontaneity...for fun. (shakes his head, looking down at his gypsy moth) I definitely wouldn’t have gotten a tattoo for her.
Jinny: (laughs) She was beautiful, Teddy. Beautiful, rich, and sober. Don’t you miss that?
Teddy: Jinny, you’re beautiful. The money? Money can’t buy happiness. And you’re sober, too. You need to work on your self-respect. You’re too hard on yourself. I’m not sorry for falling in love with you.
(Jinny smiled. She sat up and kissed him gently then harder. As they laid back, the door opened and John, Jr. waltzed in. Seeing another person in the room, he drew his weapon and yelled.)
Jn.Jr.: Get up and get your hands in the air.
Teddy: (scared, stands up, naked, hands in the air)
Jinny: John! (grabs a sheet off the bed and hands it to Teddy, then pulls a blanket up over herself) God, don’t you know how to knock!!!?? Get out!!
Jn.Jr.: (still pointing his weapon at Teddy) Identify yourself.
Jinny: (interrupts Teddy) Get out John!! He’s okay. We’re getting married?!
Jn.Jr.: Married? You? (laughs as he puts away his gun) Well next time you want to whore around, at least let me know. God. (starts to leave then turns back) By the way, I’m leaving, Casey’s back. He brought you breakfast. I guess he didn’t know you were having company either. (leaves)
Jinny: (sits back on the bed, putting her head in her hands) God, I’m sorry.
Teddy: (smiles, sitting back down beside her and putting his arm around her) Don’t be. He was just trying to protect you. Listen, (looking at his watch) I’m going to go, okay. I have to get home and get a shower and head to work. How about I walk in the front door tonight?
Jinny: (smiles) Okay.
Teddy: How about you walk me out, so we don’t have a repeat of that, with the guy out there now?
Jinny: (nods) Casey. He’s my other brother. He’s also a cop.
Teddy: Oh, okay. There are no shot gun weddings in our future are there?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jinny: That only happens in the movies. (smiling) Or if you get me pregnant.
Teddy: (nervously glances back toward the bedroom)
Jinny: (laughs) Relax. I’m just kidding.
Teddy: (looks relieved)
(Jinny appears in the living room, Teddy’s arms around her waist. Casey first reaches for his gun, but sees that Jinny is smiling. Her returns her smile, but looks at Teddy curiously.)
Jinny: Hey, Case.
Casey: Hey, Jin. Who’s he?
Jinny: (slightly embarrassed) Um, Case. I’d like you to meet ADA Theodore Blumenthal.
Casey: (shakes his hand) Nice to meet you.
Teddy: Good morning, Casey. (to Jinny) Hey, I really need to go. (kisses her) I’ll call you later and I’ll see you tonight.
Jinny: (returns his kiss) Okay, bye. (Teddy leaves)
Casey: (watching the door close) So, who’s he?
Jinny: (smiling) That...(puts an arm around Casey partially for support as they walk through to the kitchen) Is the most wonderful guy I know. Besides you, of course.
Casey: (smiling as he pulls a chair out for Jinny) Sounds to me like you’re in love.
Jinny: Indeed I am, Case. (serious) And it’s the real thing this time. He ask me to marry him, Casey. Me and...(pauses)...all my weaknesses.
Casey: (listening, smiles) What’s not to love about you, Jinny? He’s a smart man. I’m happy for you.
Jinny: Me too, Case. I didn’t think I’d ever find anyone who’d love me like that, so unconditionally.
Casey: (solemnly) Like a mother...
Jinny: (looks away) Yeah, Case. Like a Mom did.
Casey: (after a long silence) Do you miss mom, Jinny?
Jinny: (silent for a time, also) Yeah, Case. I do, a lot.
Casey: (after more silence) (laughs) You remember when you locked me in the closet and wrote that note, and told mom I ran away?
Jinny: (laughs) Yeah, and I remember the ass whipping I got when they finally found you. (laughs more) What did you do anyways? I don’t even remember.
Casey: I told Bobby Rule about Nathan Perry.
Jinny: Oh, yeah, I remember that, now. I swore I’d hate you for the rest of my life. (pause) But I guess maybe you saved my life.
Casey: Why’s that?
Jinny: I met up with Bobby’s ex-wife at my high school reunion a few years ago. Bobby’s in jail for attempted murder. He tried to kill her, while she was pregnant. Said the kid wasn’t his, and she wasn’t going to have it. (pauses) God, I was so in love with him. I’d have probably married him, had he asked me.
Casey: No you wouldn’t have. Dad wouldn’t have let you. Dad hated him. That’s the reason I told him about Nathan. I remember hearing Dad tell Mom what a jerk he was and how he’d seen him with another girl, and how he wasn’t good enough for you. I was young, I thought I was doing you a favor.
Jinny: Well, you sure didn’t do Nathan a any favors. He got the crap beat out of him for that. (laughing) Oh, well, he probably deserved it, too.
Casey: Did you really make out with the whole football team?
Jinny: Well, not all of them. (smiles sideways at Casey) Just the cute ones.

*Whistles* Anytime now... *Glances at watch* ;)
Okay, okay, I get the point. Here's more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny and Casey talked for several hours, reminiscing about the past. The fun they had and the tragedies they had endured. Tears were shed, both out of joy and of sorrow. After what seemed like hours, the phone rang, and Jinny answered it.)
Jinny: Exstead.
Teddy: (depressed) Hey, Jin.
Jinny: You sound bad. What’s wrong?
Teddy: Well, I just thought you’d like to know that I love you enough to use my one phone call to call you instead of my lawyer.
Jinny: What?! What happened?
Teddy: Well, I guess sometime after I left my house last night, some one decided to pay me a visit. They killed the officer in the living room, and since I was gone, well they’re telling me that I look guilty; considering my gun was used and my prints are all that are on it. Your captain is pretty mad.
Jinny: Did you tell her you didn’t do it?
Teddy: Yes. What do you think I would say?
Jinny: So are they arresting you, or just holding you for questioning?
Teddy: Well, they read me my rights.
Jinny: I’m on my way. (she cuts him off before she hears his protests)
(Jinny rushes to the station, Casey in two, still obviously in the dark about the whole situation. They walked into the to station and up to the captain’s office. Jinny knocked on the door and entered.)
Jinny: What’s this all about?
Kate: (displeased at the intrusion, bids goodbye to the person on the other end of the phone line) Jinny, good morning, how’s the ankle?
Jinny: Where’s Teddy?
Kate: (calmly) In holding.
Jinny: You KNOW he didn’t do it.
Kate: He looks rather guilty, don’t you think? The officer was shot with a Heckler & Koch P783 380 automatic which was found at the crime scene. A weapon that was registered to Mr. Blumenthal, and contained none other than Mr. Blumenthal’s prints. He disappears after the incident and reappears the morning after the crime, adamantly stating he knows nothing. Tell me this wouldn’t raise your suspicion if it were anyone other than Mr. Blumenthal.
Jinny: He was with me last night. The gun that killed Officer Martin only had my prints, Cap. I was in a vehicle on my way there. Compton knows how to avoid being incriminated. Teddy wasn’t there when it happened.
Kate: (looks at Jinny briefly before speaking) Put him away from the crime scene, and he’s free to go, but I need evidence. You want to see him?
Jinny: Yes.
(Jinny was on her feet even before the Captain. They walked quietly to the holding room, each lost in their own thoughts. Kate remained outside, watching, listening.)
Jinny: (closing the door behind her) Hey.
Teddy: (depressed) Hey. You didn’t have to come, you know.
Jinny: Yes, I did. What are they saying?
Teddy: Nothing really. They just asked me a bunch of questions. The usual.
Jinny: Without a lawyer present?
Teddy: I didn’t do it; and I AM a lawyer.
Jinny: I know. Is there anyone that can place you away from the house at the time of his death?
Teddy: Just the neighbors, and they were all asleep.
Jinny: What time are they saying it happened?
Teddy: They are estimating his time of death at about midnight. Jin, I left the house at nine-thirty. I was with you by ten.
Jinny: No one saw you leave? How did you get your car out of the garage without the officers outside seeing you?
Teddy: I didn’t take my car. (brightens) I walked down the convenience store and called for a cab! The receipt is still in my pants pocket. It should have the driver’s name and everything on it.
(Jinny left the station one last time and went to Teddy’s house to find the receipt. She returned to the captain’s office, throwing the receipt on her desk. Teddy was brought to the her office as well, and they were instructed to be seated.)
Kate: You’re free to go, Mr. Blumenthal.
Teddy: Thank...
Kate: (holds up a hand to cut him off) Don’t thank me. It may have been a good thing that you weren’t in that house this morning, but I lost an officer trying to protect you.
Teddy: (nods) I’m truly sorry.
Kate: I’d say that’s okay, but its not. I’m glad you were safe, but don’t let it happen again. You’re not a prisoner in your home, but for now I want you accompanied everywhere you go, whatever time of day, or night.
Teddy: Yes, ma’am.
Kate: Same goes for you, Jinny.
Jinny: (nods) Okay.
Kate: Okay. You’re free to go.
Jinny: Have they run the tags through the DMV yet?
Kate: As a matter of fact they have. They were expired California tag, previously registered to a Victor Clark.
Jinny: Compton’s sister is Patty Clark.
Kate: Coincidence?
Jinny: My opinion?
Kate: (raises and eyebrow)
Jinny: Not hardly. What about the hospitals?
Kate: Nothing yet. We did get an address from the DMV, not sure if its current. I’ll send Nate and CD out to check it out, when they return, this afternoon.
Jinny: Nate and CD? Cap, I told you, I want to take this guy down myself.
Kate: You’re in no condition to do that.
Jinny: Cap...
Kate: No. And that’s my final answer. (looking between the two of them) I just wanted you to realize, how irresponsible your actions were. You need to think through to the repercussions of you actions before following through with them.
Jinny: (nods, silent)
Teddy: (solemn) Yes, ma’am. I’m am sorry, Captain.
Kate: (looks between them again, then nods) Go home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go, let me know what you think.
#1_Nancy_McKeon 04-06-2002, 09:20 PM That was very good!!! Poor Teddy got arrested. I can't imagine him killing anyone, but of course they were following guidelines. Poor Teddy... Welp, he's got to move in with Jinny now. Since someone died in his apartment. I mean, you wouldn't expect him to sleep there now would you? Yeah, that's what I thought!

That was very good!!! Poor Teddy got arrested. I can't imagine him killing anyone, but of course they were following guidelines. Poor Teddy... Welp, he's got to move in with Jinny now. Since someone died in his apartment. I mean, you wouldn't expect him to sleep there now would you? Yeah, that's what I thought!
I agree. My thoughts exactly

Ewan's My Man 04-07-2002, 12:06 PM THIS IS AWESOME!! POST MORE SOON!!!
dovesong 04-07-2002, 05:50 PM Well, here's a little more.....total brainlock at the moment, but I'm looking at my incentives, and I'm sure it won't last long.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Teddy opened the door and followed Jinny out. They trailed out of the station, Casey and another officer following closely behind, both solemn. They parted ways, in the lobby, Teddy back to work, Jinny back home. Teddy promised to stop by the market before returning to her apartment that evening, by way of the front door. After a quick kiss, they separated.)
(Once Jinny and Casey returned to her apartment, she was in some pain. After much urging from Casey, she took a pain pill and was quickly asleep. She awoke to the sounds of the television and John Jr.’s laughter and the smells of dinner in progress. She was still groggy, so she lay there for many minutes before finally opening her eyes, and even longer before finally attempting to sit up, still groggy.)
Jinny: (to John Jr.) You’re not cooking, are you?
Jn.Jr.: What? You think I couldn’t cook something that smelled like that?
Jinny: (stares at him)
Jn.Jr.: No, I’m not cooking. That guy that was here this morning came by. I figured if you snuck him in the window, he was safe to walk through the door.
Jinny: (makes a face, gets up and stumbles to her kitchen, leaning up against the entryway; watching Teddy)
Teddy: (not noticing her immediately) Hey. I didn’t know you were up. How you feeling?
Jinny: Okay. What are you cooking?
Teddy: Pasta.
Jinny: (nods) Pasta. Gee, at my house we called it spaghetti.
Teddy: (coming to put his arms around her) That’s because, at your house, it was just spaghetti. (kissing her) Pasta, you see, is an art.
Jinny: (laughing) An art?
Teddy: Yes, (kissing her again)
Jn.Jr.: (looks over, throws a pillow, hitting Jinny in the back) God! Get a room.
(Jinny picked up the pillow and walked over to the chair John Jr. was sitting in and hit him in the chest with the pillow. She turned to run, (or well hobble) away, but he grabbed the pillow and hit her in the back of the legs, causing her legs to give and she fell into the chair on top of him, playfully hitting him in the chest, arms and back as he picked her up and planted her on the couch. Teddy watched the wrestling match for several minutes as Jinny held her own against John Jr. until they finally fell in the floor laughing. He turned back to the kitchen to check on the boiling noodles.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There ya go....sorry it's so short, but I'm working on it.
Babes_Cat 04-07-2002, 05:54 PM I love it Michelle! LOL! More please, keep workin on it! ;)

dovesong 04-08-2002, 06:31 PM Well, since yesterday's post was so short, I'll post a little more today.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny managed to get up, after fighting John Jr. off of her. She walked back into the kitchen as Teddy was putting their dinner on the table. John Jr. walked in behind her and grabbed a soda from the refrigerator. Jinny offered him a plate and he sat down to join them for dinner. The conversation was light. Jinny officially introduced John Jr. and Teddy, and they spoke of menial things most of they was through the meal. Jinny sat watching their conversation, enjoying John Jr.’s civility. Jinny knew it was a freak occurrence and that she would have to warn Teddy not to expect it once they were married.)
Jn.Jr.: So, you two are tying the knot, huh?
Jinny: (blushing)
Teddy: Yes. We’re getting married.
Jn.Jr.: (looking at Jinny) You pregnant?
Jinny: (flames in her eyes) No, John! God!
Jn.Jr.: That’s the reason I got married the first time.
Jinny: That’s the reason you got married the second time.
Jn.Jr.: Yeah, but that one wasn’t mine, she lied to me.
(John Jr. and Jinny continued to argue, as Teddy rose to take his plate to the sink. Jinny rose, also, and carried her plate to the sink, as John Jr. filled his plate a second time. She started to run water for the dishes, but Teddy took her plate and instructed her to go put her feet up.)
Jinny: Teddy, I can do my own dishes, thank you.
Teddy: I know you can. But I’m going to do them this time. (kisses her) You can thank me later.
Jn.Jr.: Okay, enough of that. Jinny, throw me another coke, since you don’t have anything better.
Jinny: You are working, John. (getting in the fridge and literally throwing the soda at him)
Jn.Jr.: Never stopped you.
Jinny: (glares at him) Thank you, John. At least I’m sober, now. And now’s all that matters.
Jn.Jr.: Don’t feed me your AA crap. I’m not the one whining every night because I can’t drink when I want to.
Jinny: (on her way to the living room, turns in the doorway) It’s not crap John. I’m sober, and that says a lot.
Jn.Jr.: That’s not sober, when that’s all you think about.
Jinny: (stops and opens her mouth to argue, but changes her mind) I’m going to shower. (turns and leaves)
(Jinny returned to her room after her shower to find Teddy laying on her bed waiting for her. He stood up, putting his hands on her bare shoulders. He bent down to kiss her briefly.)
Teddy: I’m going to go now. Get some rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.
Jinny: You’re not going home are you? I doubt they’ll let you back in there yet anyways, it’s a crime scene.
Teddy: I’ll find a hotel, then.
Jinny: You can stay here tonight. I don’t mind sharing my bed with you, as long as, (teasing) you know you stay on your side of the bed and don't invade my space.
Teddy: (smiles) In that case, I'd better go. I don’t want to impose two nights in a row.
Jinny: It’s not an imposition. You worked hard on dinner, and you did the dishes. I still owe you, and I don’t like being indebted to anybody.
Teddy: You’re sure it’s not a problem?
Jinny: You are not a problem. (teasing) That thing out there on my couch? Now he’s a problem. You? You are definitely not a problem.
Teddy: Well, if you’re sure.
Jinny: I’m sure. (pointing to a drawer in the dresser behind her) Grab me a gown, will you?
Teddy: (smiles; picks out the slinkiest one he can find, silky, medium blue) How’s this?
Jinny: (smiles, reaches out for it) That’s fine. Thank you.
(Teddy keeps the teddy as he walks over and removes her towel. He stands admiring her nakedness, for a short time and then helps her slip it over her head.)
Jinny: My ankle is sprained, not my hands.
Teddy: Right. I’ll keep that in mind when I take it off of you later.
Jinny: (smiling) Oh, you will, huh? Who said it was coming off?
Teddy: (smiles, reaches down and kisses her on her still bare shoulder, then moves up to her neck, where he lingers)
Jinny: Oh? Is that so, huh?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There you go, let me know what you think.
dovesong 04-08-2002, 06:41 PM Just for the heck of it, I'm posting my daughter's school picture. She'll be 5 in May. Ain't she so cute??

hurry up and post more!!!!
I'm going to pursue a career in 'lawyering' I believe because this can not be legal or justified what you keep doing to me. Leaving me hanging like this. It's not good for ones health.
HMPH...I'm gonna head back to my hole and find some books on lawyering if at all possible. I shall return with reasons for you not to leave me hanging like that again!
ks
dovesong 04-09-2002, 03:11 PM Lawyering? Oh, I'm scared. Gee, let's, um, not talk about courts or anything like that right now...lol....Here's more..........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Jinny reaches up and unbuttons Teddy’s shirt and he takes it off. He runs his hand through her cold, wet hair as he brings her close to him to kiss her again. His pants are soon gone as they lay down on the bed, side by side. Teddy takes Jinny in his arms, staring into her eyes. She smiles and he smiles in return.)
Teddy: I love you.
Jinny: (smiling) I love you, too.
(Teddy slides his hands up under her teddy, sliding it up. Jinny sits up, allowing him to slide it up over her head. He holds it up in front of her, smiling widely. She laughs, shaking her head. He pitched the teddy across the bed, and reached over to kiss her shoulder. She put her hand under his chin and guided him up to meet her lips. They met for a series of kisses that left them both breathless, but not for long as their lips met again. Teddy ran a hand lightly down her arm, across her stomach and up, stopping at her chin as their lips met, yet again.)
(Teddy rolled Jinny onto her back and eased himself down on top of her, his hands holding hers on the bed. He began to kiss her neck softly, then harder. She began to laugh, then squirm until she had Teddy pinned in much the same manner as she had been. They laughed for some time then stopped just as suddenly, staring deep into each others’ eyes.)
Teddy: (serious) You’re beautiful.
Jinny: (smiles)
(Their lips meet as they share one last passionate kiss before they make love. The minutes on the clock tick by into an hour, an hour into two before the lights finally go out, and all is quiet. Jinny awoke the next morning to find Teddy gone, and the clock reading nine am. She sat up, looking around. On the pillow beside her was small slip of paper. She manage to control her shaking hands long enough to pick it up. It read: I love you. I’ll see you this evening. Love Teddy. She allowed herself to breathe again. She got up and wandered into her living room to find Casey reading a book.)
(Friday rolled around and was gone, and Saturday came, dreary, and rainy. Jinny awoke and lay in bed not wanting to get up, but could smell breakfast cooking. Teddy’s smiling face appeared in the doorway.)
Teddy: Good morning.
Jinny: Morning. What are you doing, now?
Teddy: Cooking.
Jinny: (smiling) Are you married?
Teddy: Taken.
Jinny: Damn. (smiles)
Teddy: Get up. It’s almost ready.
Jinny: Okay. (reaches out a hand to him) Help me up.
(Teddy walked over and took her hands. She pulled him down on top of her. They laughed and he kissed her as he struggled to get up. She finally let him go, and he pulled her up out of the bed, too. They walked into the living room, Teddy behind her with his arms wrapped her. He left her in the living room, talking to Casey while he checked on breakfast. Jinny sat down beside Casey.)
Casey: I’m really glad you happy, Jin.
Jinny: I am Casey. I never imagined I’d find anybody, but I did. And I’m really happy.
Teddy: (sticks his head around the door facing) Come and eat.
Jinny: (takes Casey hand) Come on. Come and eat with us.
Casey: (shyly) No, that’s okay. I’m not...
Jinny: (pulls him up) Come on.
Casey: (no choice but to follow) Okay.

So sweet and innocent...... yeah, right--She's my kid. Anyways, thanks for all the replies......here's a little more before I go to work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Teddy, Jinny, and Casey drove to the store to do a little shopping. When they entered the store, they were stopped and told they could not bring weapons into the store. Jinny and Casey flashed their badges and were reluctantly permitted to enter. She sent Casey off on an errand of his own, assuring him of their safety until his return.)
(They were wandering through the aisle that held bandages and such, Jinny had intended to purchase an ace bandage for her ankle. As Jinny turned the corner, she noticed the man already in the aisle turn his head and begin to walk off, with a slight limp. She paid little attention to begin with, but her curiosity got the better of her, and against Teddy’s better judgment, she gave chase; after instructing Teddy to return to the vehicle and retrieve her handcuffs. When the man realized he was being pursued, he ran, with some difficulty.)
(Jinny chased him, dodging carts and others objects thrown into her path in an effort to deter her. Casey caught wind of the excitement in the store and rolled his eyes as made his way toward the commotion, struggling to get through the crowds of curious people. When he drew his weapon, most withdrew from his path.)
(Jinny finally tackled the man with a running leap. He hit the floor face down making every effort to get up. Jinny was on her feet in no time. She kicked him in the side and he hit the floor again, rolling onto his back. Jinny bent down to turn him onto his stomach so she could put the handcuffs on him, but instead he’d seen her weapon and reached inside her jacket for it. Jinny took her elbow and nailed him in the forehead as Casey rounded the final aisle. The man slumped back onto the floor, unconscious. Teddy returned with her handcuffs, panting, out of breath. Jinny and turned him over and cuffed him as Casey called for a unit to pick him up.)
(Casey informed the crowd that had gathered that the show was over. They dispersed slowly, mothers pulling their children away with loud protests. The manager of the store approached demanding to know what this commotion was all about. Casey and Jinny both flashed their badges. When he looked at Teddy, he merely shrugged and pointed to Casey and Jinny. The police units arrived and loaded the mysterious man into a car to take him to the station.)
(Little was said on the drive to the station. Jinny was distant and brushed off most of the questions thrown at her. Once they were at the station, Teddy drew her aside.)
Teddy: Hey, (arm around her) What’s wrong?
Jinny: (shakes her head, arms crossed)
Teddy: It’s over. You’re safe.
Jinny: That’s not Compton.
Teddy: What?
Jinny: That’s not Compton. I don’t know who it is, but it’s not Compton.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not much, but I'm off tomorrow, so hopefully, I'll get to post more tomorrow evening.
dovesong 04-13-2002, 08:19 PM Oops, twice again. Well, okay. I'll use this post to tell Miranda that she needs to post MORE on A Routine before I go to work, cuz I love it and need more.:D

SOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
dovesong 04-15-2002, 08:09 PM Okay, well, I'm a great-Aunt again for the, oh, 10th time. My neice finally had her baby after two months, at 34 weeks. He was 5 pounds 9 ounces, and was 19 inches long. He was so cute, and healthy for 34 weeks. So yay for me and here's more........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teddy: (pauses for a minutes) Then we find out who he is, and where Compton is.
Jinny: It’s not going to be that easy. He won’t give Compton up that easily.
(Captain McCafferty was waiting in her office when Jinny and Teddy arrived upstairs. They were escorted in and seated. Kate continued to read over the papers in her hand for several minutes before acknowledging them.)
Kate: Tell me what happened.
Jinny: (shrugs) He ran. I gave chase.
Kate: It isn’t Compton.
Jinny: I know that.
Kate: Who is it?
Jinny: (shakes her head) I don’t know that. But I’m going to find out.
Kate: You think he’s linked to Compton?
Jinny: Why else would he have bolted?
Kate: (hands Jinny the folder she was reviewing) Take a look at this.
Jinny: (reading aloud) Warner, Luke. Possession with intent to distribute. Assault. Stalking. Reckless endangerment. (flips page without finishing; reads silently)
Teddy: (looking over her shoulder) What’s that?
Jinny: It’s medical report dated two days ago from the emergency room on a Luke Warner. (reading again) States he presented with a self-inflicted GSW to the lower right extremity. Appearing several days old in nature and with infection present. When questioned about the nature of the incident, patient states he was home alone at the time of the incident and could not reach a phone to call for help. (looking back between Kate and Teddy) Yeah. Right.
Kate: I’ve called CD and Nate in to question him.
Jinny: You did what? Oh, no. I want a shot at this guy.
Kate: I don’t think that’s such a good idea.
Jinny: I don’t care what you think.
Teddy: (eyes wide, not believing what he was hearing from Jinny) Um, Jin...
Jinny: This guy killed my partner and tried to run me down. I want to know who he is and where Compton is. This guy knows and I’m going to find out.
Kate: (thinking) Do you think you can control yourself?
Jinny: Yes.
Kate: You get one shot. No pun intended.
(Jinny and Kate met Nate and CD in the hallway outside the holding room that held Luke Warner. It was agreed that CD and Nate would question Warner first then Jinny would get an opportunity to make her appearance only if necessary. She stood outside with Kate as Nate and CD entered.)
Luke: You can’t hold me here. You have no reason to hold me. You should be holding that wacko cop that attacked me in the store this morning.
Nate: (ignoring his rattlings) You’ve got a pretty impressive rap sheet, Mr. Warner. Possession. Assault.
Luke: (interrupting) All in the past. You can’t hold me for my past.
Nate: No, but I can hold you for murder.
Luke: I have no clue what you’re talking about.
CD: Does the name Michael Martin mean anything to you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, there ya go. Hopefully more tomorrow.

dovesong 04-16-2002, 09:34 PM Okay, since I'm sitting here doing nothing, else, I guess I could post what I've written today......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luke: Nope. Sorry I can’t help you officers. (standing) If it’s all right with you, I think I’ll be leaving now.
(Jinny opened the door and walked in. She puts her hands on his shoulders and sits him back down. He stares frantically between Nate and CD.)
Luke: You’re going to let this crazy woman near me?
Nate: She’s not crazy. (pause) Yet.
Jinny: How ya’ doing, Luke?
Luke: Fine. What do you want? (still attempting to stand and get away from her)
Jinny: (sits down on table in front of him, kicks his right leg) How’s that leg of yours?
Luke: (screams at the intense pain) Crazy Bitch! What the hell do you want from me?
Jinny: I want Compton. Where is he?
Luke: (now sitting, holding his leg) I don’t know what you’re talking about.
(The interrogation continued in a like manner for about half an hour. The exchanges between Jinny and Luke Warner began go heat up and Captain McCafferty entered the room and introduced herself as a sign to let Jinny know she was overstepping her boundaries. She tried to calm herself before continuing.)
Jinny: Just tell us where Compton is, and we can possibly make you a deal for a lesser sentence.
Luke: (in Jinny’s face; smiling) I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Jinny: (not backing away)Oh, so you’re going to take the fall for the murder of three civilians, and two officers, all on your own? You gonna let him screw you like that? He’s going to be out here sitting pretty with your wife, while you’re rotting away in prison with five life sentences, that is IF, they don’t kill you.
Luke: They aren’t going to kill me.
Jinny: Just like he told you we’d never catch you? Murdering an officer of the law is a serious offense. You just off-ed two, plus three other innocent people, two of which were children. Do you think any court in the land is going to uphold that?
Luke: You can’t prove it was me.
Jinny: No? Mind explaining to me exactly how you shot yourself in the back of the leg?
Luke: I never said I shot myself. (nervous) It’s my knee. An old football injury.
Jinny: (took the folder and opened it to the medical report and threw it at him)
Luke: (glanced at it nervously then back to Jinny)
Jinny: You’re going down. You going to be the only one? Where is he?
Luke: (considering) (solemnly) I don’t know where he is.
Jinny: (sighs and gets up, walking across the room) Let him rot in here.
All: (start to rise, leaving Luke)
Luke: (speaks up) I don’t know where he is. He always calls me when he wants something done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, there you go.

Luke: I don’t know.
CD: Why didn’t you tell him no?
Luke: I did. I told him I’d been straight since he went to jail. But he said he’d kill me if I didn’t; (shaking his head) And I don’t know nothin’ bout killing no kids. Honest. Alls I did was off that man last week when that Bitch (looking at Jinny) shot me.
Jinny: (from a distance) I don’t believe you.
Luke: Believe what you want. I didn’t kill no kids.
Kate: Then who did, Mr. Warner?
Luke: I don’t know, maybe Lex. Maybe one of his guys, but it wasn’t me.
Jinny: Prove it. Where were you Tuesday night? After you killed officer Martin up until Wednesday morning?
Luke: Just where I said I was. Home alone, trying to reach the phone to call for help.
Jinny: Alone? No one to corroborate that alibi?
Luke: I sent my wife out of town to visit her parents. I didn’t want her to know my business.
Jinny: You mean murder?
Luke: I wasn’t going to kill him, just hurt him.
Jinny: That’s what they all say. I know Compton well enough to know that he doesn’t leave behind witnesses. NOBODY that could pin anything on him. And that probably means you.
Luke: (stuttering) He...he...he... wouldn’t kill me. I did what he asked me to do.
Jinny: (laughs and turns away)
Luke: He wouldn’t kill me!
Nate: (raises his eyebrows and shrugs, pointing at Jinny) She’s the expert.
Luke: Look, I’ve been good since Lex went away. I got straight, I got married and I’ve been good.
Jinny: That or you just haven’t been caught.
Luke: (breaks down) Look, he’s got my wife, okay! He said if I didn’t do what he asked me to do, he’d kill her and me too. I love her and I can’t let him hurt her. Okay? If he told me to murder the president, I would.
Jinny: And you really think he’s going to let her live or you after this is over? And when is this going to be over exactly? One small step turns into something bigger. Right now it’s when I’m dead. Then it’s going to be when he owns the streets again. What then, huh? Unless you tell us where he is, you’re not going to see your wife alive again. For all you know she could be dead now.
Luke: No, he doesn’t work like that.
Jinny: (slams her hands down on the table in front of Warner) He won’t risk you giving him up. He’ll kill you and you know it.
Luke: (thinking) I don’t know where he is! Okay?!
Jinny: Yeah? Well, I guarantee you, he knows where you are right now. I have a notion to let you go. You won’t last a day out there now.
Luke: (panicked, knowing she’s right) I honestly don’t know where he’s at. He calls me from a cell phone, I think, or pay phones. There’s usually a lot of background noise. He calls me in the evenings, tells me what he wants done, leaves me the things to do it somewhere. Tells me what do with them afterwards.
Kate: How’d you get the gun you used to kill Officer Martin?
Luke: He left it for me in a trash can in the alley where I had my bike parked; he told me to toss it in the bushes at the house when I was done with it.
Kate: And the weapon you used to kill Officer Parker the next night?
Luke: I didn’t kill anybody else, I swear. Lex, (pause, hands shaking) he has him all kinds of means. All kinds of hands to help him out. Most of them like me, people who owe him from years ago. We ain’t go no choice but to do what he tells us, or he’ll kill us and not think twice about it.
Jinny: He’ll kill you anyways. He’s a man without a conscience. If you know him at all, you know that.
Kate: Okay, we’re done for now. (turns and opens the door) Jinny. CD. (indicates the door with a nod of her head) Nate.
Luke: So, I’m free to go? (rising)
Kate: Hardly. We have some discussing to do.
Luke: (sits down hard, with a sigh)
(Jinny, CD, and Nate followed Kate back to her office and sat down. CD an Nate taking the chairs across the desk from Kate, Jinny on a small file cabinet to one side. On the desk was a note from Teddy saying that he’d gone downstairs to his office to catch up on some paperwork, while he could work in peace. He ask Kate to assure Jinny he was safe, for Casey was with him. Kate looked around the room at her inspectors. She shrugged her shoulders and raised her eyebrows to question them.)
Kate: (when no one spoke up) Well?
CD: I think he’s lying. I think he knows exactly where Compton is.
Nate: I don’t know. (looking at CD) Compton has apparently been good at keeping himself hidden. He ran one of the longest-running drug smuggling chains in California before he finally got caught. I think he knows how to avoid being caught. Plus he’s had six years to think about what he did wrong and plan.
(CD and Nate argued back and forth for quite some time. Each stating their own opinions and their reasons for believing that way. Kate finally hushed them and looked at Jinny, who seemed totally oblivious to their conversation.)
Kate: Jinny, (pausing)
Jinny: (looks at her) Huh?
Kate: You want to join this conversation?
Jinny: Oh, sorry.
Kate: We’ve all offered our opinions, you want to share yours?
Jinny: (shrugs) I don’t know, Cap. He seems convincing
enough.
Kate: (nods) But?
Jinny: He’s no good to us in here.
Kate: You want to make him a deal? Lesser sentence for his cooperation?
Jinny: Could be the wrong thing to do. By now Compton knows he’s here. He’s not going to let him live.
Nate: So we post round the clock surveillance.
Jinny: We see how much good that’s done so far.
Nate: (shrugs) You’re still alive.
Jinny: (quiet for a few minutes) (struggles with what she’s about to say) I’m still alive because... (pause) ...he was my first undercover case. I lived with the man for two weeks. I slept with him. Okay? (finally getting up the nerve) I had sex with him. (stops, turns her head; gives them time to let what she’d just said sink in.)
(Jaws dropped as Jinny made her admission; even Kate‘s. The room was filled with an overwhelming silence. She still didn’t have the courage to look into the faces of the three she knew were staring at her. She never thought she’d come to a place in her life that she’d be ashamed of her past. And thought it was her job, the fact that she had made love to a criminal, and enjoyed it, was too much for her now.)

Well, First:
Thank you, as long as I keep the Ibuprophen in me, I feel almost good.
And Second:
Yes, (lol) That's good enough, thanks for taking that risk, here's more.............
Plus the fact that Miranda posted more, so now I feel obligated for some reason to keep my word.......lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(There was a knock at the door and Teddy entered, Jinny paid little attention as she turned back around to face the eyes staring at her. For some reason, it struck a chord in her, and made her angry.)
Jinny: Yes. Yes. Okay. Yes. (getting up walking toward the door) Your suspicions are confirmed once again. I am a slut. I always have been, and I’ll probably never change!
(Jinny said the final sentence as she noticed Teddy standing in the doorway. She stopped in front of him briefly, tears welling up. He reached out to touch her, but she pushed his hands away and continued out the door. There was an awkward silence left behind in the captain’s office, in Jinny’s wake. Teddy was the first to find his voice, looking toward where Jinny exited.)
Teddy: I think I missed something.
Kate: (rising) Indeed. (to CD and Nate) I don’t think what you heard needs to go any farther than this office.
CD: (nods)
Nate: (nods)
Kate: (heading toward the door) If you’ll excuse me.
(Teddy moved aside and let Kate pass. He felt awkward in the office with Nate and CD. He wasn’t sure what he’d walked into and had no clue what to say. Apparently Nate and CD felt the same way, therefore, the silence remained.)
(Kate knew exactly where Jinny would head, so she opened the locker room and listened to Jinny beating on her locker. She walked a little further in and watched the goings on for several minutes before putting a stop to it.)
Kate: You know, I think I’m going to invest in a punching bag for this room. The gym isn’t but a few floors down.
Jinny: (stops hitting the locker and puts her forehead against it, not speaking)
Kate: Want to talk about it?
Jinny: (turns around, back against the bank of lockers, arms crossed, still not speaking)
Kate: You really think that’s the reason Compton hasn’t come after you yet?
Jinny: They told me to do whatever I had to do to make him trust me. So I went to a bar, where we knew he frequented and I laid it on. No wires, no cameras, no badge, no gun. It was me and two guys in the back of the bar. I left with him. We went back to this hotel at first and I met him there everyday for a week. We never really talked during that first week. He was... (shrugs; sighs) I don’t know. He was attractive, he knew what he wanted.
Kate: You fell in love with him?
Jinny: (shakes her head) No. No I knew I was there for one purpose only. But yeah, I could have. He asked me to move in with him and I did. I cut all my ties with the force and I did. After two weeks, I got my chance. We were going to this meeting of some sort, kind of out of the way. The car broke down and I told him I was going to find a place to relieve myself. I wandered off a little ways, and after a while he sent his driver to look for me. I knocked him out and took his gun and I walked back and, well, as they say, the rest is history. He went to prison along with several of his top guys. The rest, like Luke Warner, walked away unscathed.
Kate: So you’ve met Warner before?
Jinny: No. There were a lot of them that I never knew about, like Warner. He’s probably telling the truth. Compton has so many people out there still, that he could have each of them do one job. That way, they’d never know how big this is. If Warner knew what Compton wanted him to do, and refused, Compton would have no choice but to blackmail him, or kill him.
Kate: So, what? You want to send him back out there? Tap his phone lines? See if Compton contacts him?
Jinny: (shrugs) We have no other plans, do we?
Kate: I don’t really see any other alternative. (stands) Let’s run it past Mr. Warner.
Jinny: (nods, but doesn’t move)
Kate: (gets to the door and turns back around) Is there something else?
Jinny: (purses lips, shakes head) I just... (pause) ...I didn’t know... (pause) ...when I said what I said in there...
Kate: (nods) Mr. Blumenthal?
Jinny: (smiles, tilts her head slightly) What do I tell him?
Kate: He knows you have a past. I’m certain that he probably does, as well. What the two of you tell each other about those pasts, is entirely up to the two of you.
Jinny: I have to tell him something.
Kate: My advice would be, if you’re going to tell him anything, tell him the truth.
Jinny: I got to know this guy. He wasn’t a bad person, when it came to his personal life. He was a romantic. I could have easily fallen in love with him; had I not known what he was doing to so many people.
Kate: Sounds like a part of you did, anyways.
Jinny: (smiles; staring off)
Kate: (puts a reassuring hand on Jinny’s arm) Come on. Let’s go round up our group and hit Warner with his deal.
Jinny: (looks down at Kate’s hand; nods; follows her out the door)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, there you go......let me know what you think.
Divisionbabe05 04-18-2002, 07:14 PM that was awesome....more!

dovesong 04-18-2002, 10:17 PM Thank you all for your replies, here's more......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Kate returned to the office, followed by a quiet Jinny. She avoided the looks from CD and Nate, but couldn’t keep from looking sideways at Teddy to see if he seems concerned about her earlier outburst. He was listening intently to what Kate was saying. Being an assistant district attorney, he was offering any advice he could possibly offer. They decided on a plan and took it to the man still sitting in that small room thinking about the cause to which he’d recently contributed.)
(Teddy again remained behind with Casey. This time he sat at Jinny’s desk, for the longest time, just staring at the name plate which held her name. He repeated that name over and over again in his mind. Each time he did so, he felt a little more certain that she was the one for him. Imperfections and al, though her previous outburst concerned him slightly. She’d seemed so upset, then so angry when she’d seen him there. He hoped that she would feel comfortable enough with him to share it with him, but he wouldn’t pressure it to do so.)
Kate: (as she walked into the room, with her inspectors) Mr. Warner.
Luke: Captain.
Kate: (after she explained their entire plan to him) Your safety is not guaranteed, if you choose to do this.
Luke: What’s my alternative?
Kate: With your past record? Spending the rest of you life in prison.
Luke: Doesn’t look like I have much of a choice.
Kate: As poor as the choices may be, they are yours to make.
Luke: I’ll do it.
Kate: Great. We’ll get everything set up. For now, though, you’ll stay here.
Luke: I thought you said...
Kate: I won’t risk something happening to you until we get set up.
(Kate opens the door to permit two uniformed officers to enter. She instructs them to take him downstairs to the cells, until otherwise instructed. Once he is gone, Kate picks up the phone outside the small room and gets everything underway.)
(Jinny, Teddy, and Casey leave the station one more time, heading home. She was slightly shaken still about the whole ordeal. Teddy noticed this and put an arm around her, trying to pull her to him. She resisted and he pulled harder. She lay in his arms, and he kissed her atop the head. She put her arms around him, and lay on his chest until they reached her apartment.)
(They walked inside and Jinny sat down with a sigh on the couch. She rubbed her forehead with her hand. Teddy sat down beside her as Casey headed down the hallway to relieve himself.)
Teddy: (quietly) Anything you want to talk about?
Jinny: (shakes her head) No. I’m just tired. I’ve had a long day, and I just want to take some medicine and lay down, if that’s okay.
Teddy: Sure, I’ll get it for you, and bring you a glass of water. You go on back.
Jinny: (smiles, nods) Okay.
(Teddy helped her up off of the couch and hugged her tightly, kissing her once they’d parted. He watched her walk down the hall and disappear into her room before he headed for the kitchen. He explained to Casey that she wanted to sleep and Casey sat down on the couch and got comfortable. Teddy knocked on Jinny’s door before he entered and found her laying on her bed.)
Teddy: Hey. You look comfortable. Is there room for one more? (sits down on the bed, handing her the water)
Jinny: (smiles) (takes pills, hands water back to Teddy) There’s always room for you.
Teddy: (smiles, scoots up onto the bed with her, arms around her) I’m glad.
Teddy: (after a long silence) You know, you can tell me anything. Anything at all. It isn’t going to make a difference. I’ll still love you.
Jinny: (shakes her head against his chest) I don’t know, Teddy.
Teddy: You know, I don’t know what you were talking about in there, but I’m here to listen, if you want to talk, but, I’m not going to force you. I wouldn’t do that.
Jinny: I know. Thanks.
Teddy: (nods, slightly disappointed, but never releases his hold on her) (kisses her on the top of the head, again)
(Teddy assumed that was the end of their conversation. Jinny was quiet for a very long time and he had thought she’d fallen fast asleep. She sat up and turned toward him, startling him, for he, too, had almost fallen asleep. She looked at him, still quiet, for many minutes before she poured her heart out to him, almost not stopping to breath. Teddy tried his hardest to take it all in without asking questions; all the way down to how she’d almost fallen in love with a criminal and given up her life on the force.)
(As soon as Jinny had stopped, Teddy took her in his arms and held her tightly, listening to her quiet sobs; giving his mind time to absorb all she said in so little time. He finally moved her back, his hands still on her shoulders, looking her in the eye.)
Teddy: It doesn’t matter. I still love you.
Jinny: (still obviously upset) How can you say that?
Teddy: Because nobody’s past is perfect (pause) and I almost let my parents talk me into making the stupidest mistake of my life by marrying someone I didn’t love. (pause) Enough to marry, anyways. But I changed my mind, and so did you, and we’re together and that’s all that matters. Being together is our destiny, and even if we didn’t know it then, we knew we weren’t doing the right thing. Right? Deep down, didn’t you know it?
Jinny: (almost laughing) I guess so.
Teddy: All right. See. Dry your eyes and get some sleep.
Jinny: (wiped her eyes with her hands, and smiled sheepishly at Teddy.) (hoarse whisper) Thank you.
Teddy: You’re welcome.
(Teddy reached down to kiss Jinny and was met with her lips, gently at first. Then more demanding. Jinny reached for the remote to the television and turned it on to muffle any sounds that may escape them.)
Teddy: (pulling away, briefly) Jinny, your medicine. Can you?
Jinny: (smiling slightly, still hoarse) Let’s find out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, let's find out what you think.......

MORE PLEASE!
dovesong 04-19-2002, 08:49 PM Well, I haven't written much, today, still a little sick, but feeling MUCH better, thanks, here's what I've got.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(With that their lips met again as Jinny and Teddy began to unbutton each other’s shirts and remove them. They were on their knees, kissing as they each slid their own shirts off their arms. Jinny’s hands immediately went to Teddy’s chest once her shirt was gone as Teddy reach behind her to release her bra. It dropped off her arms between them, neither taking time to move it. Teddy reached behind her yet again and pulled her closer to him, enjoying the feel of her against him. Teddy slowly laid her backwards on the bed. Remaining on his knees he slowly bent and kissed her on the neck and all the way down to her belly button. She slid her hands through his hair and laughed as she looked up at her and winked. He kissed her stomach one last time as he paused to undo her pants and slide them off.)
(Teddy had to stand to get her pants off her legs. He gently lifted her good foot off the bed and began rubbing it softly. Jinny again laughed trying to free herself from his grip. He removed his own pants before rejoining her on the bed. She greeted him warmly as he eased himself back down on top of her. Her arms went around him, caressing his back softly as he planted kiss after kiss on her neck and ears. She returned those kisses with ones of her own and soon they were both ready to take things to the next level. Teddy was cautious at first, weary that her medication may put a premature stop to things. His reserved state did not last long as Jinny proved she was ready for anything.)
(They lay holding each other afterwards, not speaking. Jinny soon chilled and pulled the covers up over them both. Teddy looked at her and smiled.)
Jinny: (returns smile, curiously) That grin looks suspicious.
Teddy: Does it? Really?
Jinny: Yes. What are you thinking?
Teddy: Well, I noticed that your feet are ticklish. I was just wondering what else was.
Jinny: Ticklish? No, not me.
Teddy: Oh, really? Let’s see.
(Teddystakes a hand and runs it lightly down the side of her ribcage. She takes his hands in her own, trying to fight him off, laughing. This power struggle continues for several minutes as their door opens and John Jr. sticks his head in.)
Jn.Jr.: So, what? Are you gonna cook tonight or what?
Jinny: John!! God don’t you ever knock!!
Jn.Jr.: Oh, I see you’ve already eaten.
Jinny: Get out! (takes a pillow and throws at the door)
Jn.Jr.: (shuts the door in time to avoid being hit in the head) (opens the door again, sticks his head back in) So, um, is that a no?
Jinny: Would you get out!?! (throws the last pillow at him)
Jn.Jr.: (can hear John cussing all the way down the hall)
Teddy: Um, this may be a wild notion, but have you ever considered locking your door?
(Jinny laughs, shoving Teddy backwards onto the bed. He grabs her on his way down and takes her with him. She lays half-way on top of him for a long time, staring into his eyes before she reaches down and kisses him passionately. Teddy’s hand moves up to her head, not letting her pull away for several minutes. When they finally part, they must both take a deep breath. Jinny is speechless. She closes her eyes and lays her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. She falls asleep laying on his chest. Teddy eases her onto the bed and retrieves the pillows she had thrown earlier.)
(The phone rings early the next morning. Teddy is the first to be wakened by it and answers.)
Teddy: Hello? (pause, listening) Captain McCafferty, good morning. (listening) She’s still asleep. (listening) Right. Right. I’ll wake her and we’ll be there in a few. Bye. (reaches over and shakes Jinny) Jinny...Jinny.
Jinny: (groggily) What?
Teddy: Jinny, get up. We got problems.
Jinny: (sits up) What? What’s going on?
Teddy: Captain McCafferty just called. We need to get down to the station now.
Jinny: Why? What’s going on?
Teddy: She said she’d explain everything when we get there. Come on. Get cleaned up and let’s go.
Jinny: Okay, okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, there it is, let me know what you think......

dovesong 04-21-2002, 07:58 PM Okay, since I've just been reminded that I haven't posted for TWO whole days, here's more............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(It didn’t take Jinny and Teddy very long to shower and be ready to leave. Casey was curious as to the big rush to get out of the house, until Jinny explained the Captain’s call from earlier. She too, was curious about what was so urgent. The stopped and picked up breakfast to go and headed in to the station. Kate called them immediately into the small room that had been setup to monitor Luke Warner’s phone conversations. Kate instructed the officers listening to replay a message the had recorded to the amazement of Jinny and Teddy.)
Luke: Hello?
Voice: Hello Warner. Nice day out, isn’t. Shame you’re gonna die on a such a nice day.
Luke: (nervously) Lex? Die? (stuttering) Wh .. Wh.. Why would you say that?
Lex: What’d you tell the cops about me?
Luke: Cops? What cops, Lex?
Lex: (angry) Don’t play stupid with me, Warner. You screwed up. You got caught. And now you’re going to pay for it.
Luke: Lex, I didn’t tell them nothin.’ I swear, I didn’t.
Lex: I’ll give you one last chance, Warner. And I mean just one, or else your wife will be meeting you in hell.
Luke: Okay. I’ll do anything, Lex, anything. Just don’t hurt Justine, please. Just let her go.
Lex: I want you to kill that lady cop, Exstead.
Luke: The one that followed me to that other guys house? Yeah, I know her. Why?
Lex: You don’t worry about the why’s. You just do it. I’ll leave you what you need in brown bag in the fifth street alley behind the butcher’s shop. Don’t screw this up. If they don’t kill you, I will.
Luke: I won’t let you down, Lex. I swear.
Lex: You’d better not.
(The phone clicked, but Jinny was still staring at the tape recorder, as if expecting more. She couldn’t believe what she’d just heard. Teddy put an arm around her and pulled her close, but she didn’t respond in any manner. Kate broke the silence in the room.)
Kate: We’re just waiting for Warner to call us back on the secure phone we gave him.
Teddy: What are we going to do?
Kate: We? You are going to a hotel somewhere safe and out of the way.
Teddy: But...
Kate: No buts.
Jinny: (looks at Teddy and nods; quietly) She’s right.
Teddy: I can’t just leave you alone.
Jinny: I’d never forgive myself if something happened to you.
Kate: (interrupts their conversation) You’ll pack your bag, take a suit bag, as well. Take your briefcase and exit the apartment building at three o’clock this evening. You’ll hail the cab that’s driving by, (a question)you know Inspector Basso (Teddy nods), and you’ll be taken to safety until this is over.
Teddy: (nods; reluctantly) Okay.
(The conversation continued for several minutes, fine-tuning the plans for that night. The phone rang again, Kate indicating that it was the secure phone that had been given to Warner. They answered the phone and after Kate’s greeting, Warner’s scared voice filled the air.)
Luke: Did you hear what he said? He’s going to kill me.
Kate: He isn’t going to kill you, Mr. Warner. You’ll be safe.
Luke: Yeah, sure. He wants me to kill that Inspector. What do I do?
Kate: You go to the alley and get your supplies. You show up at the apartment. There will be shots fired. You go out in a body bag. We take you to safety.
Luke: A body bag? (pause; nervously) You mean that dead people are in?
Kate: I assure you, Mr. Warner, you’ll be quite alive. (disconnects the conversation)
Jinny: So, how do we get Compton, if Warner disappears? He’s our only lead.
Kate: Patience.
Jinny: (angrily) Patience?! And how long am I supposed to be patient?
Kate: (calmly) As long as it takes.
Jinny: I can’t just sit around and...
Kate: Jinny, unfortunately I can’t snap my fingers and make this go away. We have no other choice but to wait. Go home. Get Mr. Blumethal packed, and get him out of there.
(Jinny nods, watching the captain as she turned her back. She was always so calm through everything. The Rock. Just like her mother had been. Jinny could remember every injury her mother had endured with her. Even through her bout with what they thought was meningitis when Jinny was much younger. When they’d stuck that needle in her back, she had panicked, but her mother was there, talking to her; as calm as she ever was. Telling her anything to keep her mind off the procedure. She told her how well she’d done in the soccer game the week before and how she was so strong and brave. Jinny smiled at the memory, she’d never be half the mother her own mother had been. She just wished...)
Teddy: (rubbing her back) Jinny?
Jinny: Huh? Oh, sorry. I was just thinking.
Teddy: What about?
Jinny: (chokes back the lump in her throat) Wasn’t important.
Teddy: Come on. Let’s go home. (on their way out the door) You’re sure you’ll be okay?
Jinny: I’ll be fine.

dovesong 04-25-2002, 09:20 PM Okay, I know I haven't posted in forever and a day, so here's more.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Teddy: (laughs) (kisses her on the forehead) I’ll love you anyways, grouch.
(Jinny looks down. Teddy puts his hand under her chin and picks it up until she is looking at him. Teddy can see the tear in her eye. He pulls her close and holds her for a few minutes. She hugs him tightly, not wanting to let go. They part after a few minutes, and Teddy looks at his watch.)
Teddy: I have to go. (kisses her) Be careful tonight, okay.
Jinny: (nods)
Teddy: I love you.
Jinny: I love you, too.
Teddy: Bye.
Jinny: Bye.
(With that, Teddy left, Jinny almost jumping at the sound of the door closing. She sat down on the couch by Casey, glumly. Casey watched her for a few minutes and then put his arm around her. She smiled and half-way hugged him.)
Casey: It’s going to be okay. You know the plan. It’ll work out.
Jinny: You know, Case, I’m not sure its safe for you to be here tonight.
Casey: What? Leave you here alone? I don’t think so, Jin.
Jinny: Casey, I’m not going to run the risk of him changing his mind and carrying this scheme out.
Casey: Well, if he tries, I’ll be here.
Jinny: I don’t want you here, Casey. You’re my brother, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.
Casey: And you’re my sister. And I don’t want anything to happen to you, either.
Jinny: (smiles) Not gonna win that one am I?
Casey: (smiles, shakes his head) Not on your life.
Jinny: Really, Casey. This is something I need to face on my own.
Casey: (thinks about it) If you can talk the Captain into it, I’m for it.
Jinny: Thanks, Casey.
Casey: (smiles)
(Jinny, after much arguing, finally convinced Captain McCafferty to allow Casey to leave and posted John, Jr. outside upon his arrival. Jinny, however, had to agree to maintain an open radio frequency once again. Reluctantly, she agreed and settled for an evening of waiting. She checked the weapon with blanks and laid it beside her bed. Then, she checked her own weapon and put in within arms reach, under the pillow beside her. Where Teddy had slept last night, she thought to herself. She turned all the lights off, but a small lamp, and laid down for a long night.)
(Outside, officers were stationed around the block, in cars, on benches, as camouflaged as possible, patiently waiting for the excitement to begin. A marked police car drove by, just making his ‘nightly’ drive by through the area, and he continued on his way. Other uniformed officers were stationed in their cars, waiting to respond to the call when it came in. A coroner’s wagon was waiting some miles away, and the medical examiner, yet, at another location, waiting. Plans had been discussed, and gone over with a fine-tooth comb. Questions were asked and people were read. Ready to get this over with and get home to their own families.)
(Jinny thought she heard a noise and reached under the pillow for her gun. When her door opened, a head popped around the door, looking cautiously into the room. Jinny could see the reflection of Luke Warner in the window across the room. He inched further into the room, until he was standing at the edge of Jinny’s bed, watching her sleep, he thought. Jinny sat up quickly, her gun aimed at the center of his chest. His hands went up as he jumped backwards.)
Luke: (nervously) H..Hey, you wouldn’t shoot a feller would you?
Jinny: (not speaking; picks up the gun with blanks and fires several times)
(Everyone on the outside remained quiet as lights in the building began to light up, illuminate the outside. A few minutes later, police and EMS units arrive and are escorted inside. The medical examiner is called in, then later the coroner’s wagon is brought in. The body is loaded onto the stretcher and carried out of the apartment. Jinny picks up the phone as the last person leaves and dials Teddy’s hotel number.)
(As the coroner and other’s leave with the body, a pair of eyes watches the events unfold, through binoculars, from a building across the street. A small radio on his belt comes to life.)
Voice: Lex, who do you think it is?
Lex: (silent, watching through his binoculars) That body bag is open. Son of bitch! Take him out.
(Everyone begins running for cover as bloody holes erupt from the body bag as shots are fired in quick succession.)
