"Just Ask" (new fan fic)

[sue z q]

Okay, thanks 4 responding to my other post, I guess I'll leave the case in, so here we go, hope ya like it:

"Just Ask"

*John Exstead Jr. walked into the Division his sister was working at. He looked around for where she was and immediately spotted her. It wasn't hard to find the only woman in the room with jet-black hair. She didn't see him because the back of her head was facing him. He walked up to her slowly, kind of embarrassed at what he was going to say. He'd always been uncomfortable asking people things. He hated to look dependent on someone. Once he reached her he tapped her shoulder*
John: Uh...Jin?
Jinny: *she turns around and once she sees him she looks very confused, why would he be here?* Oh...John...What do you want?
John: Well, thanks, sis, for the warm welcome.
Jinny: John, what are you doing here? *she's not really being mean, she just feels uncomfortable being around only him, she usually only sees him when her whole family's together, and she's still kinda angry at him for treating Casey the way he did* Don't you have work to do, like some of the rest of us? *she points to the stacks of files on her desk*
John: C' mon, Jinny.
Jinny: "C' mon, Jinny" what?
John: I wanted to...ummm...ask you something.
Jinny: *gets a suspicious look on her face, she doesn't trust him* Oh, yeah? *he nods* Well, ask.
John: Jinny, this is really hard for me to say, so please don't laugh or tease me or make fun of me, all right?
Jinny: *she sees that he's really sincere so she lets down her guard and gets more serious* Okay, I won't. What is it? Is something wrong?
John: Well, as you know my marriage or should I say marriages haven't been exactly walks in the park.
Jinny: Brother, you can say that again!
John: *really hurt she said that* Oh, c' mon, Jinny! Oh, you know what, I see how *mocking her* busy you are so I'll just leave! I should have never even come here! *storms out of the Division. C.D. and Angela heard the whole thing and just stared at Jinny, she saw them looking at her and mouthed WHAT?!, they looked back down at their desks*
Magda: *she comes in the Division right as John's going out, they run into each other*
John: *screams at her* Excuse me!
Magda: *she gets out of his way as fast as she can, then looks over at Jinny with a "what was that all about?" look*
Jinny: *feels really bad she said that, she mouths to Magda "don't ask"*
Magda: *she goes over towards her desk and just shakes her head*
Captain: *she had her head out to call Jinny in the whole time, but didn't want to interrupt their "conversation", she saw the whole thing* Exstead, in here.
Jinny: *is expecting to get chewed out by Captain, so as soon as she goes in her office she starts to state her case* Look, Cap, he came to ask me something, and I guess he just got cold feet, so he stormed out. It'll never happen again.
Captain: *completely ignores what Jinny just said* There was a robbery down at McClellan and Main apartment buildings, there've been many robberies there recently. You and Mag check it out. *she hands her all the files of robberies in that same apartment building*
Jinny: *is kind of confused Cap. didn't rip her apart* Okay.....uh...sure, Cap. *she starts to leave*
Captain: Exstead, keep your personal problems to yourself. *she sits down at her desk, not looking at Jinny* That'll be all.
Jinny: *she walks out of her office in a daze, she's so confused, first John wants to ask her something, which is unbelievable, then Cap had a perfect opportunity to rip her to shreds and didn't take it. Once she reaches her desk, she sits down then turns to Magda* Mag? *Magda turns around* did my horoscope say that today many strange things would happen?
Magda: *kinda laughs* I wouldn't know, Jinny. *she wheels closer to Jinny's desk and lowers her voice* What was that all about with John?
Jinny: You know something? I am just as lost as you are on that one. He said he wanted to ask me something, then he started talking about how bad his marriages have been and then I *looks down* didn't use the choicest of words, and he got mad and stormed out. *pause* I think maybe I'll call him tonight. *remembers* Oh, wait, I won't have to. I'll see him tonight- family poker night. I'll talk to him then.
Magda: Good.
Jinny: In the meantime, we have a case.
Magda: Oh, whoopee. What's it about?
Jinny: The apartment buildings down at McClellen and Main have been consistently being robbed. We get to find who done it.
Magda: Ooooo, lucky us.
Jinny: Well, you ready to go check it out now?
Magda: Yup.
Jinny: Good, let's go.

*At the apartment buildings*
*Jinny and Magda walk up to the apartment buildings, there is a man, the janitor, who is sweeping the halls of the apartment building, he is on the second floor*
Man: *calling down to where the Inspectors are* You ladies lookin' for someone?
Jinny: Yes, SFPD, *shows him her badge* we'd like to speak to the person who owns these apartments buildings.
Man: Oh that'd be Caroline Shaw.
Magda: Where could we speak to this Caroline Shaw?
Man: Ummmmm, I'm not sure. I think she's on her lunch break.
Magda: *looks at her watch, it's 9:30 a.m.* At 9:30 in the morning?
Man: She's been having some marital problems lately. So maybe she's out...uh...dealing with that. Ya know?
Jinny: Yes, thank you for all your help. Oh, and what's the name of these apartment buildings?
Man: *said with much pride* Sunny Days Apartment Buildings: Where everyday is a sunny day. *Jinny and Magda look at each other, about to laugh but they hold it in.*
Jinny: *trying not to laugh* Uh...thank you. You were most helpful, very...uhhhh...Insightful. *looks again at Magda and they both start cracking up*
Man: It's always a pleasure helping such attractive ladies. *grins at them*
Magda: *sarcastically rolls her eyes, the two Inspectors start to leave, Magda turns back around* Do you know when she'll be back?
Man: No idea, but if she's on time, which there's no guarantee she will be, she should be here about 1:00.
Jinny: Okay, thanks again.
Man: *grins some more at them* Anytime.
Jinny: *turns back around* Jerk. *they walk back to Jinny's car and get in*

*in Jinny's car, they're going back to the station to review the cases*
Magda: *said extremely angrily, not just mildly complaining* Don't ya hate it when men treat you like a thing and not a human. I hate it when they make you feel like some personal object of theirs.
Jinny: Whoa, calm down girl! Re-tract those claws!
Magda: Sorry, it's just that it seems that every guy I meet treats me like his personal thing with no emotions that he can just mess with all the time.
Jinny: *quietly, not wanting to push it* Was Gabriel like that?
Magda: *thinks about it for a while* Yeah.
Jinny: Oh.
Magda: Well, sometimes, not always. Sometimes he was really sincere and really cared, or at least it seemed like that anyway. His true feelings showed though when I said "pregnant" and he said "bye"
Jinny: *again, not pushing it, quietly* How did you get pregnant anyway?
Magda: C'mon Jinny, how do you think?
Jinny: I mean, did you usually use protection?
Magda: Yes, always, but there was this one time.... We were so comfortable, neither one of use wanted to get up so we didn't. How stupid. We were too lazy to get up and walk about seven steps to my dresser. *she shakes her hand, feeling really dumb*
Jinny: But Ben's a good thing, right?
Magda: *smiles at thinking about her son* Yeah, he is.
Jinny: *said jokingly to lighten the atmosphere* Mag, we gotta find you a man!
Magda: *also joking* I'm open to any suggestions you might have!
Jinny: *joking* Well, let's see. First of all, you can rule out any male with the last name of Exstead. They're baaaaaaaad news!
Magda: Oh, come on, Jinny. *think a little bit* Casey's not so bad.
Jinny: *gets a little more serious* Yeah, you're right, Mag. Casey's not so bad. Only problem is, I don't think he'd like you very much, if you know what I mean.
Magda: *jokingly melodramatic* Oh, why is it that all the good ones are either married, gay, or engaged?!
Jinny: Who ever said engagement should stop you?
Magda: Oh, my gosh, Jinny! You're crazy!
Jinny: *grins* I know.

More tomorrow. Please respond! Thanks!

Thanks 4 replying! Here's more!

*They get back to the station, and review the robbery cases to get some more clues. They try to find a similar characteristic among all the people being robbed, but they don't find any. Some are rich, some are poor; some are white, some are African American, some are Mexican; some are old, some are young. They are really stumped. They figure it may be that someone is trying to hurt the owner, Caroline Shaw, by hurting her business. They have lunch, and once it gets to be about 1:00 they go back over to the apartment buildings to see if they can talk to the owner*

*at Sunny Days Apartment Buildings*
*Jinny and Magda walk up to the registration desk where a young guy about 18 is*
Jinny: Excuse me, *pulls out her badge* SFPD, could we see the owner, Caroline Shaw?
Guy: Uh...sure...just a moment. Let me see if she's in.
Magda: Is it normal for Miss Shaw to not be here during her working hours?
Guy: Uh...well....sometimes she's gone. I think she and her husband are getting a divorce right now, so things are kinda hectic.
Jinny: Oh.
Guy: I'll go see if she's in.
Magda: Thanks. *once he leaves* Think her divorce has something to do with this?
Jinny: Maybe. But what?
Magda: Beats me. *the guy comes back in*
Guy: She's in her office. You can go in now, right through that door. *points*
Magda: Thank you very much. *he nods, they go into her office. Caroline Shaw sits there behind her desk, she's dressed very professionally in a nice light gray suit with a pink top underneath, her whole appearance says business woman, even down to her very manicured nails*
Caroline: *she sounds very professional, calculated, and studied* Oh, female cops, I'm surprised, but I shouldn't be. I think it's wonderful how women are finally getting their rightful place in society. It's about time. How can I help you?
Jinny: We've had several cases recently of reports of robberies in this apartment building. We're wondering if you know anything about this.
Caroline: *very defensive* Of course, I do! I run my apartments very well! Nothing gets by me! I'm very anxious to find who did this! How dare you even think I run my business poorly! And from women, too! We women need to stick together, not be tearing each other down!
Magda: *she and Jinny just look at each other in shock at that whole outburst* All we meant was if you know anything about who might have done this. We weren't trying to insult you in any way.
Caroline: *completely composed after her little rampage* Oh, well, in that case, I have no idea.
Jinny: You have no clue? Has there been anyone suspicious hanging around here or anyone you know maybe trying to hurt you by hurting your business? You know, anyone mad at you right now, or any ex-boyfriend or ex-friends you parted with badly?
Caroline: My husband, or should I say soon to be ex-husband and my brother, and come to think of it, my father too, aren't exactly on speaking terms with me, but none of them would do anything like this. Why would they?
Jinny: People do weird things when they're ticked.
Caroline: Well, maybe for some people, but not them.
Magda: Do you know where we could talk to any one of them?
Caroline: You don't seriously think? I mean, it's preposterous!
Jinny: Please, Mrs. Shaw, where could we reach them? If you don't comply we could charge you with withholding evidence.
Caroline: Well, you don't have to get threatening. Here's my husband's business card, he owns the lawyer firm down the street, the number's on there.
Magda: Your husband owns a lawyer firm and you still work?
Caroline: Women shouldn't just be confined to cooking and cleaning and having babies! If we want to have our own business or be a cop *gestures to them* or...
Jinny: I think we understand. What about your father and brother?
Caroline: We all parted badly. They didn't like the idea of me going into the business world. Male Chauvinists!
Magda: I meant where can we reach them?
Caroline: Oh, yes, well, my father is retired, here's his address *she writes it down on a piece of paper and hands it to them* My brother, on the other hand, may not be so easy to find.
Jinny: Oh, and why is that?
Caroline: Well, he's found that driving a truck back and forth across the country delivering food supplies is fulfilling. Can you imagine? Ha! Fulfilling my-
Magda: Thank you for all your help, Mrs. Shaw. What company does he work for?
Caroline: It's the Speedy Delivery Company. *leans in towards them* Imagine, that name, Speedy Delivery, obviously a man's suggestion.
Jinny: *mockingly agreeing with her* Oh, yes, sooooooooo male.
Magda: *getting up* Thank you very much Mrs. Shaw. You'll probably be hearing from us soon.
Caroline: *goes back to her cheery, business like self* Buh, bye now, ladies! Come again!
Jinny: *as they get out the door, she whispers to Magda* Yeah, right. I'll do that in about a million years without lethal force.
Magda: *laughs to herself*

*the two Inspectors in Jinny's car*
Magda: So, where to now?
Jinny: *looks at the address of Mrs. Shaw's father* Why don't we see what's happening at 214 Newport St.
Magda: Sounds good to me. Gee, I wonder why no ones talking to Caroline?
Jinny: Well, would you?! Maybe it's because she burns bras 24/7.
Magda: *laughs* Don't get me wrong, Jin, I'm all for women doing what they need to do, but gees, it's women like that that give other women bad reps about being fanatical and extremist.
Jinny; I hear ya, Mag. I hear ya. *she slows her car down looking for number 214* You see 214 anywhere?
Magda: Uh *looking*....yeah. That one on the left a little ways down.
Jinny: Oh, okay. *pulls up to it and stops, they get out and walk up to the front door. The house is not well kept at all, the grass has grown way beyond what it should; where pretty flowers once were blooming, wheat colored dead plants lay. They ring the doorbell. Nobody answers* SFPD! Open up!
Father: *answers the door in his pajamas, has a gruff voice, is very tall, his hair is messed up, looks like he just got out of bed* What do you girls want?
Jinny: *with attitude* We... girls.... would like to ask you some questions about your daughter Caroline?
Father: Who?
Magda: Your daughter, who owns Sunny Days apartment buildings-
Father: *yelling* Don't remind me! Just listen to that name- Sunny Days! Only a dingbat like a woman would come up with an idiotic name like that!
Jinny: That is your daughter then?
Father: Yes, although I've been trying to forget it.
Magda: Could we come in? We have several questions we'd like to ask.
Father: Ummmm...the house is kinda messy...
Magda: That's okay.
Father: Uhhhh...okay, I guess.
Jinny: Thank you. *they go in, clothes are on the floor everywhere, there is a fish tank but all the fish are at the top dead, a plant had fallen over looks like years ago, because it's all withered and dead and the potting soil it was in is a light brown and is all over the floor.* Uhhhh....lovely...ummm...home you have here.
Father: *proudly, happily* Well, I finally have it how I want it. When Caroline was here growing up she used to clean and pick up things when they got on the floor.
Jinny: *looking over at Magda* Imagine!
Father: *leads them to the couch* Just pick whatever's on your seat and throw it anywhere.
Magda: *picks up a pile of dirty underwear and lays it nicely on the side of the couch, sits down* Thank you.
Jinny: *picks up a broken radio and a toaster and throws it anywhere, it doesn't make any kind of crashing noise because its fall was broken by a pile of clothes on the floor* Yes, thank you.
Father: So, has Caroline done something wrong?
Magda: No, she hasn't, it's her apartment buildings. Many people in her there have been robbed. We haven't found a common factor in any of them except for the fact that they all live in the same apartment building. We've concluded that someone may be trying to get back at Caroline by getting back at her business.
Father: I told her! Do you know how much I told her?! A business is a hard thing to run! But would she listen to me? Noooooooooooooo!
Jinny: Excuse me, Sir, but what line of work were you in before you retired?
Father: *proudly* I was a maintenance man at a hotel.
Magda: Shouldn't you be proud of your daughter? Going so far as to own her own apartment buildings?
Father: *his voice loses the gruffness, and becomes very tender* Well, I just didn't want her to get hurt. Women can get taken advantage of very easily. *looks down, he gets very sad* Her mother got taken advantage of once, and I lost her forever. I didn't want the same to happen to my only daughter.
Jinny: We're very sorry, Sir. *looks over at Magda, she nods* I think we'll be going now.
Magda: Yes, thank you very much.
Father: *is still kinda lost in remembering his wife* Uh...yes...*starts to get up to show them out*
Magda: It's okay, we can go out ourselves.
Father: *sits back down, still lost in thoughts* Oh...okay....thank you. *the Inspectors leave and get in Jinny's car*

*in Jinny's car*
Jinny: Doesn't look like he had anything to do with this.
Magda: Yeah, I think you're right. Sounds like he'd try not to hurt her in anyway that he could.
Jinny: Yeah, but it also sounds like he disowned her. Seems like that would hurt her.
Magda: Yeah, true.
Jinny: Well, where to now?
Magda: How about her husband, or should I say, soon to be ex-husband.
Jinny: Sounds good to me. *they drive to his lawyer firm*

*at the firm. It looks very nice, very professional. Jinny and Magda walk up to the receptionist*
Receptionist: How can I help you?
Jinny: We'd like to speak with a David Shaw, the owner of this lawyer firm. SFPD. *shows her her badge*
Receptionist: *gets a scared look on her face* Oh, the police. Has he done something wrong?
Magda: That's what we're here to find out.
Receptionist: *practically runs to his office to get away from them* I'll see if he's in.
*the two Inspectors look at each other wondering what she was so scared about*
Receptionist: *coming back to her desk* He's in his office. That way. *shows them to his office*
David: *he is very smooth, very suave, early forties, every hair is in place, his navy suit is perfectly pressed, he has a nice, attractive face* Hello, Inspectors. How can I help you?
Magda: We're here in regard to your wife, Caroline Shaw.
David: *his face brightens up, he looks very happy to talk about her* Oh, yes.
Jinny: *sees how happy he got when he thought of her, she think that's kind of strange if they're getting a divorce* Are you two getting a divorce?
David: Oh, no. She's threatened me with it before, but she's just kidding. We're really very much in love.
Magda: She told us you and her were getting a divorce.
David: Oh she's just kidding. She can be so cute sometimes. *laughs*
Jinny: She sounded quite serious to me.
David: *gets a little angry* Well, she's not. I've known her a lot longer than you have.
Magda: Yes, of course. *wants to get back on the subject* Recently, many people in her apartment buildings she owns have been robbed. Has she told you any of this?
David: *thinking* Uh...yes...I think she mentioned it. She seemed very puzzled by it.
Jinny: We've been checking the case out, and we haven't found that the people being robbed have anything in common. We've concluded that someone may be trying to hurt your wife by hurting her business.
David: You know I've warned her about that.
Magda: We figured that since you and her were getting a divorce, you might be a little angry at her, and-
David: That is crazy! Why would I want to hurt my own wife?! And for the last time, we are not getting a divorce!
Magda: She seemed very serious about divorcing you. She made it sound like you'd started the process already.
David: *lowers his voice, looks down* Well, we've had some meetings with lawyers and everything.... *gets louder* But we are not getting a divorce! Now I would appreciate it if you would stop making false accusations and leave my firm!
Jinny: Just doing our job, mister. You may be hearing from us. Thank you for your help.
Magda: Yeah, thanks. *they leave his firm and get back in Jinny's car*

Hope you're liking it, keep replying. More later!

[NewsiesGurl229]

awesome! cannot wait for more

[sue z q]

Here's some more!

*in Jinny's car*
Magda: What do you think that was all about?
Jinny: Looks to me like he can't face the fact that his wife is divorcing him.
Magda: True, but why would he want to hurt her business? It sounded like he loved her. He'd have to know that robbing people in her apartment buildings wouldn't bring her back to him.
Jinny: Yeah, but if he didn't get caught she might get fed up with her business going down the tubes and return to him.
Magda: Yeah, could be, could be. *looks at her watch* Whoa, it's five already.
Jinny: Oh, really? Well, let's go back to the Division, we'll have to review the case with the Cap.
Magda: Okay. *Jinny starts the car and heads for the Division* You gonna talk to John tonight?
Jinny: Yeah, I can't imagine what he wanted ask me. Must have been something to do with his marriage, but *turns to Magda* what would he want to ask me about marriage? He's had much more experience in that area than I have.
Magda: *thinks about marriage* It would be nice wouldn't it?
Jinny: What?
Magda: To be married. To have someone who is just as committed to you as you are to him. To have someone there who cares...
Jinny: To have someone to sleep with...
Magda: *laughs* Oh, my gosh, Jinny, is that all you think about?
Jinny: Well, it would be nice to sleep with someone and not really have to worry about protection cause if ya get pregnant, it's okay. It's legal and everything. Not that I want kids anytime soon.
Magda: Oh, Jin, you'd be a great mom.
Jinny: You really think so?
Magda: Yeah.
Jinny: *smiles*
Magda: How are things going with Teddy?
Jinny: Very good, I have to admit, I really love him. I honestly can't think of anything about him that I'd want to change or don't like about him. He's really what I've wanted.
Magda: That's great, Jin. I'm so happy for you. Think he might ever pop the question?
Jinny: He might. Don't know what I'd say if he did.
Magda: Don't you want to marry him? If he's your dream man what would stop you?
Jinny: *says very quietly, very vulnerable* Commitment, committing to someone...
Magda: Oh. *can tell Jinny doesn't want to elaborate so she changes the subject* Well, I hope things get worked out with John.
Jinny: Yeah, thanks, Mag.

*they go back to the Division, talk the case over with the Captain, and she dismisses them. Jinny drives Magda home then drives to her apartment before poker night starts at seven. She reaches her home and walks inside*

Jinny: Teddy? Teddy?
Teddy: Hey, Jin! I'm in your bathroom, don't come in, I've got a surprise for you. *he calls to her from her bathroom* Just go sit on the couch.
Jinny: *smiles, he's so sweet she thinks* Okay. *she goes over and sits on the couch, she takes her shoes off and leans back, relaxing*
Teddy: *he walks in* Surprise! *he holds a bird cage with two parakeets, one a light green and another a dark blue, they're in a pretty blue cage and start chirping* Do you like them?
Jinny: *is in total shock* What? Where? How? Why?
Teddy: You mentioned you'd been lonely, so I thought.....
Jinny: I said I was going to be lonely that one night you had a late meeting, not all the-
Teddy: But aren't they cute? *they start chirping at her* See, they're saying *goes into a high-pitched voice* "Jinny, don't you think we're cute? Don't you love us?"
Jinny: I don't believe it. *she starts smiling* I'm not really an animal person, I mean they're nice and all but....
Teddy: It's okay I can keep them at my place. I just got them for us to have, you know? When I was growing up we always had birds: cockatiels, parakeets, we even had doves for a while, my mom loves them and I missed 'em.
Jinny: Oh. What do you wanna call them?
Teddy: I don't know what do you want to call them? The guy said they were male and female. Wanna name 'em after us?
Jinny: Okay, whatever, Teddy. *starts laughing*
Teddy: What are you laughing about?
Jinny: Oh, it's nothing. I don't think I've ever known a man before who liked birds.
Teddy: Really?
Jinny: Yeah, look, I've got family poker night tonight in *looks at her watch* an hour so lets get some dinner, okay?
Teddy: Okay, you want to go somewhere?
Jinny: Not really, I'm kinda tired.
Teddy: Well, let's see what Chez Jinny has on the menu *he goes over and looks in her refrigerator* Uhhh....ketchup.....eggs.....hot dogs......bread.....*looks on the bottom shelf* and two packs of beer, five wine bottles, and other assorted alcoholic drinks. *jokingly* Gee, Jinny, you think you got enough alcohol to last you about ten years?
Jinny: *thinks he's chastizing her, doesn't get that he was just kidding, angrily* Look, I'm cutting down, okay?
Teddy: I was just kidding. How much do you have a day?
Jinny: I don't know, nor do I care. Can we drop it?
Teddy: Sure *looks back at the refrigerator, confused* You don't have much. Let's order out, Kay?
Jinny: Okay.
Teddy: Chinese?
Jinny: Sounds good.
Teddy: *he goes over to the phone and orders Chinese food, they eat, and she goes to the poker game*

Here's more!

*at her father's house*
*Jinny walks in the house and goes to the den where a poker table is all set up with four chairs, and poker chips and cards are also. John Sr. is sitting in one of the chairs.*
John Sr.: *looks up and sees her come in* Hey, Jinny! Ready to get whooped?
Jinny: Oh, are we feeling confident tonight? Because the question is are YOU ready to get whooped? *she goes over and kisses him on the cheek and sits down in the chair opposite him*
Casey: *walks in from kitchen where the phone is* Pizza's ordered! Hey, Jin!
Jinny: Hey, Casey! Have any of you guys seen John?
Casey: Nope, he didn't come to work today. Well, he came about eight, then left, said he had to do something, that was at about nine.
Jinny: Oh.
Casey: Why?
Jinny: Just wondering.
Casey: I'd think you'd be happy if he's not going to be here. The game would probably be much less violent if he lost, which he always does.
John Sr.: *sternly but weakly* Be quiet, Casey.
Jinny: I think he's having some problems with his marriage.
Casey: What's her name again? Michelle, Cassie?
Jinny: It's Cassie.
Casey: Oh, that's right. Michelle was his third wife. She was the airline stewardess with the long legs and the big-
John Sr.: Okay, I think we all remember her.
Jinny: Uhh....well.....Oh I might as well tell you guys. He came to my desk about nine and said he wanted to ask me something. He started going on about his marriages, and I said something I now regret, and he stormed out and left. He didn't go back to work?
Casey: Nope.
John Sr.: I hope he's all right.
Jinny: Yeah, me, too.
Casey: *look over at Jinny with a surprised look* Well, that's a first!
Jinny: Not now, Casey. Maybe something's wrong. Whenever he had a problem before he always said work would help take his mind off it. It's not like him to not show up for work. *everyone's all quiet*
Jinny: Well, I think I'll go look for him.
John Sr.: Good idea. If you find him, call me.
Jinny: I will, dad. Okay, buy guys.
Casey: Don't you want to wait and get some pizza?
Jinny: I already ate.
Casey: Oh. *he's still looking at her for more details*
Jinny: With Teddy.
Casey: *gets a big smile on his face* Ooooooohhh.
Jinny: Bye, guys.
Both: Bye Jinny!
John Sr.: Well, finally someone else'll get a chance to win!
Casey: Yeah, like me!
John Sr.: We'll just see about that.... *he starts dealing the cards*

*in Jinny's car*
Jinny: *where would he be? Well, I'll try his house first. If he's not there maybe he's in a bar. She drives up to his house, gets out of her car, and rings the doorbell, calling* It's Jinny! *she hears a woman crying from inside the house, she jiggles the knob and it's open. She's very surprised, he always locks the door. She walks in. She follows the sound of the crying and ends up in his living room, Cassie is lying on the couch crying, with her head in her hands*
Cassie: *she's crying really hard, she's in a nice blue dress, her hair is very curly and a light blonde color. She's pretty but not obviously pretty, her beauty is subtle. She looks up and sees Jinny* Oh, hi, Jinny. *she sits herself up on the couch, wipes her face, controls herself and acts like nothing happened* So, how have you been Jinny?
Jinny: I come in here, you're balling your eyes out on the couch, and you ask me how I've been?
Cassie: *starts crying really hard again* Jinny....he left me....he's never coming back.
Jinny: *she goes over to the couch, sits down next to Cassie, and puts her arm around her to comfort her* When did he tell you this?
Cassie: Well, I came home from work about five. I started to get ready, because, you see, we were going to go out tonight to Sizzler. I know that's not that fancy, but we rarely go out and it was going to kind of be a getting back together dinner. We had a fight yesterday but we made up and we wanted to have a romantic dinner tonight. Well, anyway, I got all dressed up and I went over to our phone and there was a message, so I hit the play button. *she starts to lose it* And it was him calling saying he's going to leave me, he really wanted the relationship to work, but he said he's not good enough nor will he ever be. *she starts crying again*
Jinny: It's okay, it's okay. Did he say anything about where he was going or anything?
Cassie: No, he just sounded so....so....hurt, like somebody' d said something that made him feel worthless.
Jinny: Oh. *starts to fell really, REALLY bad she said that* Well, I'm going to go look for him. He couldn't have gone that far. I'll check all the bars.
Cassie: Thank you so much Jinny. Bring him back here if you find him. I really want to talk to him. I know this relationship can work, if we both just try.
Jinny: Yeah, okay. Bye.
Cassie: Bye, Jinny.

If anyone's reading this, please reply. Thanks!

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Thanx 2 everyone 4 faithfully responding! Here's some more!

*Jinny gets in her car and drives to several bars. He's not in any of them. She goes to some more bars and he's still no where to be found. She just starts driving all around town looking for him anywhere, on the sidewalks, in stores, in restaurants. By now it's about two in the morning. She comes to a stop light and stops. A man is walking on the side of the road, right next to Jinny's open window. He sees her and starts waving to her really excitedly, he runs up to her window*
Man: Hey, Jinny! I haven't seen you forever!
Jinny: *doesn't have a clue who he is, puts on a totally fake happy face, tries to act like she knows who he is* Oh, hi! How' ve you been?
Man: Oh, doing the same stuff. You?
Jinny: Yeah, me, too.
Man: Oh, I'm so happy I saw you again! I've really missed you babe. I'm sorry I didn't call. It's been what? Two months or so? I lost your phone number so I couldn't-
Jinny: *starts to remember him, gets flashbacks of the guy at a bar and her going home with him* Frank?
Frank: Yeah, don't you remember me? Man, that was one of the best nights of my life.
Jinny: *looks away from him in embarrassment* Oh...yeah...ummm *hears people honking their horns at her, the light turned green* I gotta go.
Frank: Well, wait, what's your phone number? I want to...uhh....see you some more, if you know what I mean *gives her a look*.
Jinny: I've actually got a boyfriend, sorry.
Frank: *his face falls* Oh...well, if things don't work out. I'm usually at the Anchorside nights. I haven't been there recently, my mother's been sick...
Woman in Car: Hey, sister! Move it!
Jinny: I've really got to go. Bye!
*she gets out of there as fast as she can. She feels really humiliated. I've gotta change she thinks to herself. She keeps driving till she runs across a man lying on the sidewalk, he's about John's build so she pulls over and gets out of her car* John?
John: Go away! Go away! *he sounds very tired and drunk*
Jinny: Oh, John! Why'd ya have ta get drunk?!
John: I took some lessons from the master: YOU!
Jinny: C'mon get up. Let's go someplace and talk.
John: Leave me be!
Jinny: Get up, Jonathan!
John: Don't call me that!
Jinny: NOW!
John: Oh, all right, all right... *she helps him up and they get in her car, She drives towards a restaurant*
Jinny: *they've both calmed down* What were you going to ask me this morning?
John: *he's still drunk but he's more awake* Why do you care? You made that pretty clear to me this morning!
Jinny: Look, I'm sorry I said what I said, but I'm here now, and I want to help. I went over to your house and Cassie was crying.
John: *looks really sad* Was she?
Jinny: Yes, she said you told her you two were through.
John: Well, after getting some advice from you, I came to that conclusion.
Jinny: Look, forget I said that. Now what were you going to ask me this morning?
John: Well, we were going to go out to dinner tonight, and I was going to ask you some advice on what women like in a guy. You know, how should I act that would make her happy.
Jinny: Oh, you should have just asked. C'mon after all these years you should know not to take me seriously. Now why do you want to leave her? She said she really wanted to make the marriage work.
John: She did? *Jinny nods* Well, after a while, things got.....Oh, I don't know.....tough. She started nagging me about my drinking and I would get angrier and angrier...
Jinny: Wait a minute...I thought you said you had that under control?
John: Well, I don't! I've tried, God knows I've tried, but sometimes I just get so angry! Jinny, why do I get so angry? How can other people just take a deep breath and calm down?
Jinny: Well, we've got a lot more to be angry about than most people.
John: But that's no excuse.
Jinny: I know it's not, and I'm glad you know that, too.
John: *puts his hand over his eyes all of a sudden, the pain that had been surpressed so long finally surfaced, he says all this as of he's seeing it right in front of him, he starts crying* Oh, God, Jinny! I see her! Everywhere I go, I see her dead, bloody body on the floor with her eyes rolled back, oh, God, Jinny, make it go away!
Jinny: *pulls over, is shocked at his outcry, starts yelling* Stop it, John! Stop it! That was eighteen years ago! Eighteen years!
John: It was yesterday, Jinny! *he says all this as though he's reliving it* We came home, we wanted to tell her how I made the football team, and she didn't come when we called her! She didn't answer, Jinny! Why didn't she answer us?!
Jinny: *screaming, does not want to hear this* Stop it!
John: We looked around and I heard you scream-
Jinny: I know, John, I know! Stop it!
John: Oh, God, Jinny, help me!

*they're both crying really hard right now, she reaches over and hugs him, he holds her very tightly, they sit there for quite a while, comforting each other, she strokes his hair, for the first time John feels truly helpless, he lies weakly in her arms, she suddenly realizes how weak he is, she'd always thought of him as very strong, but he was actually weaker than she was, Jinny wasn't holding her thirty-four year old brother, she was holding the sixteen-year-old boy that had just lost his mother, this had to be the first time the sadness of their mother's death brought them closer together*

Honest opinions, folks.
