"A New Understanding" sequel to "Complicated" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LuvJinny4ever · 08-13-2001, 10:20 PM

the queen of controversy strikes again! hehe.

hey, if you haven't read "Complicated" you might want to read it, but this fic can stand alone as well, so, enjoy:

Captain Kate McCafferty picked up the folder she had been handed this morning. She was well aware of the publicity surrounding the release of Robert Fisher, and now it was her job to head up a team to try to keep him behind bars. Over the past few weeks there were protests by several gay rights groups about Roberts release, as well as groups saying Robert had gotten a bad wrap.

Sixteen years ago, Robert, or Bobby as he was usually called, murdered a fellow sixteen year old girl in cold blood. He had murdered her because she was "different" he had said then. Everyone knew it was because Beth, the girl who he murdered, was gay.

Sighing, she opened up the case file and started reading. Fifteen minutes later, she stopped as she read the name Jinny Exstead on the paper in front of her. Jinny was listed as the "best friend" and "girlfriend" of the deceased... at different times. During the court proceedings, however, Jinny was mearly referred to as Beth's best friend. Looking at her watch, Kate realized it was already 8:30, and she opened her door. "Exstead! I need to see you in my office!" she yelled, and walked back to her desk.

Jinny heard her name being called by the captain and she groaned. 'What does she want now?' she thought as she slipped from her chair and headed towards Kate's office. Stepping inside, she shut the door behind her. "Yes?" she asked, as politely as she knew how.

"Sit" Kate said and she handed the case file to Jinny. "Look familiar?" Kate watched Jinny's expression as the cop took the folder. Tears were running down her face and she quickly wiped them away.

"Yeah." Jinny said, trying to contain her emotions. Why was the captain doing this to her? Opening the folder she read what was written, and stopped at the same point the captain had stopped. 'She knows' she thought. "So you know, huh cap? Isn't it NICE to know just a LITTLE bit more about my personal life?!" Jinny started to raise her voice. It was her defense mechanism, and she couldn't help it.

Kate watched as Jinny went from one emotion to the other, swinging like a pendulum. "I don't care, Jinny" she said quietly. Kate never admitted this, but she worried about the inspector that stood across from her. Sure, she openly admitted not liking the alcohol, but there was something more to Jinny that Kate worried about... just... something more.

Jinny stopped and looked at the captain, taking in what she had just said. She realized she had been worried about what Kate thought of her. 'That's stupid' she thought to herself. 'No, it's not. You really do care what she thinks. That's why you get so mad at her when she yells at you.' Jinny told herself to shut up. She didn't need this right now. "Then why did you bring me in here?" she asked, quizzically.

"Because I need you to help me keep him behind bars" Kate said matter-of-factly, and watched as Jinny got a grateful look in her eyes. 'I don't see that often' Kate mused, and smiled to herself. Just then, Kate's phone rang and she picked it up. "McCafferty." Kate listened and her face got pale. "Is everything alright?... Yes. Yes... I'll find somewhere else to stay." Kate hung up the phone and then back up at Jinny.

"What's wrong?" Jinny asked tentitavly (sp?). She didn't want to get into caps business after always telling her not to get into hers. She studied the captains face and could tell something was wrong, though.

Kate sighed. "Someone left a death threat at my place after trashing it. I need somewhere else to stay until after the parole hearing." Kate sat down at her desk and leaned back in her chair.

Jinny knew she was going to regret this the moment she uttered the words, but she had to... it was the least she could do. 'What am I saying?!' thought Jinny, but it was too late. "Um.. you could stay with me if ya want.. I mean, you don't HAVE to, but..."

Carter: So... what do you, er, think about tonight?

Abby: I think it’s the least I could do... no-one should be alone after killing a clown.

Dave: You killed the clown?

Carter: No.

Abby: Didn’t save him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Carter: You know what? Stop it.

Abby: What?

Carter: Don’t talk to me about Luka. I’m not your girlfriend and I shouldn’t really even be here with you.

Abby: Why not?

Carter: (Pausing) Because I don’t want to wish bad things for you and Luka. And I don’t want to sit on the sidelines waiting for you two to break-up. (Pauses) And I don’t want to be your friend. (Smiles gently) It might be convenient for you but it isn’t doing much for me.

LuvJinny4ever · 08-14-2001, 08:50 PM

Kate looked at Jinny with raised eyebrows. Was she actually offering her apartment? She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of Jinny's mouth, but she appriciated them nonetheless. "Actually.." she said "I think staying there might be a good thing. We could go over the case and try to come up with some way to keep Bobby in jail."

"Um...ok." Jinny stared down at the floor, then back up at her captain. 'I can't believe I just did that' she thought. "Well, I'd.. uh.. better get back to work." Jinny quickly turned around and left Kate's office. She was convinced that an attack of sudden insanity had overcome her in the office just now, and she needed to think.

Kate watched Jinny walk out of her office, and she shook her head. It was just like Exstead to not know what she was doing until after she did it. 'That's what I like about her' she thought 'AND what I DON'T like about her' she added, and chuckled to herself.

***JINNY'S APARTMENT***
Jinny was running around her apartment picking up dishes, empty bottles, food containers, and anything else that made the place look messy. After about an hour and a half, she had made decent progress, and it was starting to look like someone actually lived there. A knock on the door startled her, and when she regained her composure, she opened the door to find Kate McCafferty standing there. "Hey cap" she said, and stepped aside, letting her in.

Kate walked into Jinny's apartment and looked around. It wasn't as bad as she had expected it to be, and she was pleasantly pleased. "So, Jinny... thanks again for letting me stay here. I know I'm not your favorite person..."

Jinny laughed. "Um.. yeah" she said and smiled. Captain definitely was not her idea of a good time... but she wasn't THAT bad. "Um... bathroom's in there.." she pointed "bedrooms in there.." she pointed again. "Kitchen.." again pointed. "You get the bed, curtosy of me, and I will sleep on the couch."

"Thanks Jinny. I'm... gonna go change. Then we can talk about this case." Kate walked into the bathroom and shut the door. What she saw made her almost burst out laughing. If the rest of Jinny's house was a little messy, her bathroom was a disaster area. Clothes and towels lined the floor, her shower was filled with about ten different shampoo bottles, her vanity drawer was so stuffed with things it wouldn't close, and she used the sink as a medicine cabinet. 'Only Jinny' Kate thought, as she shook her head.

Jinny felt as if she were forgetting something, and then it hit her. She hadn't cleaned her bathroom. 'STUPID!' she said to herself. 'Wait a minute, why do I care?' she laughed. Going into her bedroom, she decided to change. Searching her in her drawer by her bed, Jinny pulled out a pair of black sweats and a tshirt. She took off her top and was reaching down to grab the tshirt when the captain walked into the room. "Ahhh!" she screamed, and held the tshirt over her.

When Kate walked out of the bathroom and into Jinny's bedroom, she caught her inspector with her shirt off.. literally. Jinny's scream and quick reflexes, however, prevented the situation from getting more embarrasing than it already was. "Sorry.. I'll.. be out in the living room." Kate walked out of Jinny's bedroom smiling to herself. 'Wait a minute, McCafferty' she thought 'Don't you dare start this stuff again.'

Jinny watched her captain walk out of her bedroom and finally took a breathe, not realizing she had been holding it. 'For crying out loud' Jinny thought to herself as she quickly finished dressing. Walking out into the living room, she saw Kate pulling out her breifcase and taking out the case file. 'Well, this is it' Jinny thought, and sat down next to Kate on the couch.

About an hour later, Jinny was crying. Reliving Bobby's trial for Beth's murder was draining. And she still hadn't told the Captain exactly how her and Beth had gotten together. She'd been pressing for the last 15 minutes... said it was instrumental to keeping Bobby behind bars, but all Jinny could do was cry. Finally, she just let it all spill out.

"One day... in the morning... Beth always came over in the morning... she drove to school. Anyway, one morning she came over early and said she'd been having some issues with her parents. After a few minutes of pressing, she... came out to me. I was scared..." Jinny paused, taking a breathe and looked at Kate, wondering if she should go on. Kate nodded, so she did. "I was scared because I had liked her for almost a year now. But I was acting distant and didn't want to deal. I made out with Bobby.. that morning. Then later I told her in a note how I felt. Someone found the note though... and then in the bathroom I yelled at her.. and... she left school... and I followed her to her house. Her dad kicked her out! He kicked her out!!"

Jinny remembered that day so vividly. Robert had wanted Jinny to leave, but she wouldn't, so she had witnessed the whole scene. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but she wiped them away with the back of her hand and continued. "So we went back to my house. We... kissed." Jinny smiled at the memory, then frowned, knowing less than 24 hours later Beth was dead. "And she spent the night on the couch. My dad woke us up... made us breakfast, and went to change. She... Beth, wanted to give me a good morning kiss, and she did, and..." Tears were running down Jinny's cheeks once again. "And my dad walked in. Beth ran out... I... I never saw her again..."

Kate felt so sorry for Jinny. She wanted to comfort her, but she was never good at doing that, so she just let Jinny cry.

***THE DIVISION-AFTER PAROLE HEARING***
Jinny stormed into the division with tears in her eyes. Mentally competant?! OK to merge into society?!?! Jinny couldn't believe what had just taken place. Not only did Bobby Fisher get parole, but he was commended! COMMENDED! Sitting down at her desk, she placed her head in her hands.

Magda looked up as her partner came into the division. She could tell something was seriously wrong... actually, she could tell for days now, but she was unable to get anything out of Jinny. Cautiously, she decided to try again. "Jinny... what's..."

Jinny glared up at Magda. "You know... why don't you just mind your own business for a change?!" Noting successfully Magda's hurt expression, Jinny turned her attention back down to her desk.

"That was uncalled for, Exstead" Captain McCafferty said as she walked into the division. "In my office... NOW!" Picking up the pace, Kate headed for her office, followed by Jinny. When she got there, she heard the door slam behind her and whirled around. "Do NOT slam my door. Now, what the hell was that out there?!"

Jinny's face was a mask of hatred. How DARE she ask her what was wrong... she knew damned well what was wrong. "Captain... Magda doesn't know about this, okay?! She's been bugging me all week, and..." tears came to her eyes now, she couldn't hold it in. "That bastard got out! HE GOT OUT!!!" She slammed her fist into the wall and cried harder, her body shaking.

Kate looked at her inspector as she broke down crying. Getting up from her desk, she tentatively hugged Jinny. "Alright... alright. Go home. It's 4 already... and I'm out of your hair too. Sleep. Please." She didn't know how to comfort... it was the best she could do.

Jinny felt Kate's arms around her, and froze up. She didn't want her comfort.. or did she? She didn't even know anymore. Kate's words, however, did get to her and she just nodded. Shaking off the captain, she turned to the door, mumbling goodbye as she left.

***ANCHORSIDE-THAT NIGHT***
Kate sat at a booth in Anchorside, sipping on her drink. It had been a long and tedious day. She was stil upset that Bobby Fisher was released on parole today... and she was concerned about Jinny. That's when she spotted her inspector across the room. Actually... she heard her.

"What do you MEAN you won't give me another drink?!" Jinny yelled at the bartender. Her mind was fogged over, and all she wanted to do was forget. When she had gotten home that day, she had found a note threatening her life, and had spent the whole night worrying about it... until she came here, that is. "COME ON!" she yelled, and was about to yell again when she felt a hand on her arm and turned around. There was captain McCafferty, in all her glory. 'Oh God' Jinny thought and tried to smile.

Kate looked at Jinny with both sympathy and anger in her eyes. She knew Jinny was hurting, but she was also upset that she had drank this much. "C'mon, Jinny, I'm taking you home." Grabbing her inspector, she walked her to the door despite the protests.

"Hey hey hey!!" Jinny kept saying over and over again. Kate had no right to take her away from the bar. None. Trying to wrench her arm free, she found that she couldn't. "HEY!!! I can't go home, someone's gonna kill me.." she slurred and stumbled, almost knocking Kate over.

Regaining her footing, Kate turned toward Jinny and stared at her. "Did you just say what I think you said?"

Jinny nodded and fished around in her pocket for the note she stuffed in there earlier. When she found it, she handed it to Kate, who finally let go of her arm. Rubbing where her arm was held just a minute ago, Jinny had to concentrate not to fall over.

Kate took the note from Jinny and read it, the color quickly draining from her face.

*note*
Jinny,
Nice to see you again after all these years. I've been waiting a long time for this... a LONG time. Such a long time that this kind of hate has time to fester.

love,
me

Kate looked back up at Jinny who looked as if she was going to pass out and made up her mind. "You're coming home with me tonight" she said and dragged Jinny out the door.

***KATE'S HOUSE***
Unlocking the door, Kate McCafferty brought Jinny inside her house. Walking her to the bedroom, she sat her down on the bed and looked for something for her inspector to wear. Finding some loose pants and an oversized tshirt, she handed them to Jinny. "Here.. change into this. You get the bed... just don't throw up, or you're dead." Kate walked out of the bedroom and into her living room. Sitting on the couch, she felt her eyelids get heavy, and before she knew it she was alseep in all her clothes.

At two am, Kate woke up, her back stiff and her head pounding. 'God, I wish I had my bed' she thought, as she got up. 'Speaking of my bed, I'd better go check on Jinny.' Walking into her bedroom, she laughed at the site before her. Jinny hadn't even finished getting changed. She had gotten into the oversized shirt, but had passed out on the bed, on top of the covers. Going to her bedroom closet, Kate got out a blanket and covered Jinny over with it. 'At least she's off tomorrow' she thought, and went back into the living room.

Laying on the couch, Kate's thoughts wandered. She thought about work, Bobby Fisher, Jinny. As the thoughts raced through her head, she drifted off to sleep again.

***KATE'S HOUSE-NEXT MORNING 11:27 AM***
Jinny awoke to unfamilar surroundings and a pounding headache. Looking around, she vaguely remembered the captain dragging her home and her falling asleep. Getting up, she walked through the house and found the kitchen... and a note, addressed to her.

*note*
Jinny,
Food is in the fridge, if you're hungry. Asprin is in the bathroom. There are some old clothes of mine in the top drawer of my dresser next to my bed for after your shower. DON'T LEAVE. Call me if you need anything.
Kate

Jinny stared at the note. Don't leave? Why the hell not?! Then she remembered the note she had found at her apartment and a shiver ran down her spine. Going to the refrigerator she looked in. "Wow... captain Kate actually has some good food." Taking out some lunch meat and mayo, she began hunting for the bread when she heard the front door open.

Amanda opened the door to her mom's house. She didn't know if her mom was working today, but there was only one way to find out... and that was to go looking for her. "Mom??" she called out, but was greeted with silence. Looking up, however, she saw Jinny standing there in a tshirt, looking as if she just woke up. "Uh.. Jinny..." Amanda said, confused as to why she was there.

"Hey Amanda. You're mom's not here. She's working." Jinny started to walk back into the kitchen, and then realized she was just in the oversized tshirt still. 'Dear god, the girl must be confused' she said to herself and chuckled.

Watching Jinny walk away, Amanda wondered again why she was there and why she was in a tshirt. Shaking her head and deciding to ask her mother rather than Jinny, she called out "Hey Jinny... I'm going to see my mom. Uh... see you later!" She heard a muffled goodbye from the kitchen and walked out the front door, still confused.

***THE DIVISION-KATE'S OFFICE***
Kate heard a knock on her office door and looked up to find Amanda standing there with an interesting look on her face. "Hey sweetie... what's going on?" Kate got up and hugged her daughter quickly.

"Uh.. are you turning gay or something, mom?" Amanda asked, point blank, and looked at her mother for a reaction.

"What?" Kate asked, not understanding where this was coming from. She looked at her daughter quizzically. She walked back to behind her desk again, thinking. "And the answer is no... but why are you asking?"

Amanda let her breathe out. "Ok.. see, I went to your house looking for you and instead I found Jinny in a tshirt and..."

Kate laughed and shook her head. "Jinny's at my house because she got a threat and was too drunk last night to walk alone. Don't worry, sweetie." Kate looked at her daughter, who looked relieved beyond words. Outside, she smiled, inside, Kate had a knawing knot in the pit of her stomach. "So... what were you looking for me for?" she asked, and Amanda started to talk.

***KATE'S HOUSE***
Jinny stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. Picking up the clothes she had gotten from Kate's drawer, she slipped them on and walked out of the bathroom. Sitting down on the bed, she flipped on the bedroom tv and slipped her hand under one of Kate's pillows. She felt something hard, like a book, and she pulled it out. Examining it, she let out a breathe. "Kate's diary... this should be interesting..."

Jinny opened up the book and started reading. It was pretty slow going until she got to a part about her, and she nearly dropped the book.

She couldn't believe the words that were coming out of Jinny's mouth, but she appriciated them nonetheless. "Actually.." she said "I think staying there might be a good thing. We could go over the case and try to come up with some way to keep Bobby in jail." "Um...ok." Jinny stared down at the floor, then back up at her captain. 'I can't believe I just did that' she thought. "Well, I'd.. uh.. better get back to work." Jinny quickly turned around and left Kate's office. She was convinced that an attack of sudden insanity had overcome her in the office just now, and she needed to think. Kate watched Jinny walk out of her office, and she shook her head. It was just like Exstead to not know what she was doing until after she did it. 'That's what I like about her' she thought 'AND what I DON'T like about her' she added, and chuckled to herself. *JINNY'S APARTMENT* Jinny was running around her apartment picking up dishes, empty bottles, food containers, and anything else that made the place look messy. After about an hour and a half, she had made decent progress, and it was starting to look like someone actually lived there. A knock on the door startled her, and when she regained her composure, she opened the door to find Kate McCafferty standing there. "Hey cap" she said, and stepped aside, letting her in. Kate walked into Jinny's apartment and looked around. It wasn't as bad as she had expected it to be, and she was pleasantly pleased. "So, Jinny... thanks again for letting me stay here. I know I'm not your favorite person..." Jinny laughed. "Um.. yeah" she said and smiled. Captain definitely was not her idea of a good time... but she wasn't THAT bad. "Um... bathroom's in there.." she pointed "bedrooms in there.." she pointed again. "Kitchen.." again pointed. "You get the bed, curtosy of me, and I will sleep on the couch." "Thanks Jinny. I'm... gonna go change. Then we can talk about this case." Kate walked into the bathroom and shut the door. What she saw made her almost burst out laughing. If the rest of Jinny's house was a little messy, her bathroom was a disaster area. Clothes and towels lined the floor, her shower was filled with about ten different shampoo bottles, her vanity drawer was so stuffed with things it wouldn't close, and she used the sink as a medicine cabinet. 'Only Jinny' Kate thought, as she shook her head. Jinny felt as if she were forgetting something, and then it hit her. She hadn't cleaned her bathroom. 'STUPID!' she said to herself. 'Wait a minute, why do I care?' she laughed. Going into her bedroom, she decided to change. Searching her in her drawer by her bed, Jinny pulled out a pair of black sweats and a tshirt. She took off her top and was reaching down to grab the tshirt when the captain walked into the room. "Ahhh!" she screamed, and held the tshirt over her. When Kate walked out of the bathroom and into Jinny's bedroom, she caught her inspector with her shirt off.. literally. Jinny's scream and quick reflexes, however, prevented the situation from getting more embarrasing than it already was. "Sorry.. I'll.. be out in the living room." Kate walked out of Jinny's bedroom smiling to herself. 'Wait a minute, McCafferty' she thought 'Don't you dare start this stuff again.' Jinny watched her captain walk out of her bedroom and finally took a breathe, not realizing she had been holding it. 'For crying out loud' Jinny thought to herself as she quickly finished dressing. Walking out into the living room, she saw Kate pulling out her breifcase and taking out the case file. 'Well, this is it' Jinny thought, and sat down next to Kate on the couch. About an hour later, Jinny was crying. Reliving Bobby's trial for Beth's murder was draining. And she still hadn't told the Captain exactly how her and Beth had gotten together. She'd been pressing for the last 15 minutes... said it was instrumental to keeping Bobby behind bars, but all Jinny could do was cry. Finally, she just let it all spill out. "One day... in the morning... Beth always came over in the morning... she drove to school. Anyway, one morning she came over early and said she'd been having some issues with her parents. After a few minutes of pressing, she... came out to me. I was scared..." Jinny paused, taking a breathe and looked at Kate, wondering if she should go on. Kate nodded, so she did. "I was scared because I had liked her for almost a year now. But I was acting distant and didn't want to deal. I made out with Bobby.. that morning. Then later I told her in a note how I felt. Someone found the note though... and then in the bathroom I yelled at her.. and... she left school... and I followed her to her house. Her dad kicked her out! He kicked her out!!" Jinny remembered that day so vividly. Robert had wanted Jinny to leave, but she wouldn't, so she had witnessed the whole scene. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but she wiped them away with the back of her hand and continued. "So we went back to my house. We... kissed." Jinny smiled at the memory, then frowned, knowing less than 24 hours later Beth was dead. "And she spent the night on the couch. My dad woke us up... made us breakfast, and went to change. She... Beth, wanted to give me a good morning kiss, and she did, and..." Tears were running down Jinny's cheeks once again. "And my dad walked in. Beth ran out... I... I never saw her again..." Kate felt so sorry for Jinny. She wanted to comfort her, but she was never good at doing that, so she just let Jinny cry. TO BE CONTINUED i'm actually just gonna post this then keep goin, but i didn't want to lose everything i wrote if something weird happened and my computer freaked out.. lol.

Mentally competant?! OK to merge into society?!?! Jinny couldn't believe what had just taken place. Not only did Bobby Fisher get parole, but he was commended! COMMENDED! Sitting down at her desk, she placed her head in her hands. Magda looked up as her partner came into the division. She could tell something was seriously wrong... actually, she could tell for days now, but she was unable to get anything out of Jinny. Cautiously, she decided to try again. "Jinny... what's..." Jinny glared up at Magda. "You know... why don't you just mind your own business for a change?!" Noting successfully Magda's hurt expression, Jinny turned her attention back down to her desk. "That was uncalled for, Exstead" Captain McCafferty said as she walked into the division. "In my office... NOW!" Picking up the pace, Kate headed for her office, followed by Jinny. When she got there, she heard the door slam behind her and whirled around. "Do NOT slam my door. Now, what the hell was that out there?!" Jinny's face was a mask of hatred. How DARE she ask her what was wrong... she knew damned well what was wrong. "Captain... Magda doesn't know about this, okay?! She's been bugging me all week, and..." tears came to her eyes now, she couldn't hold it in. "That bastard got out! HE GOT OUT!!!" She slammed her fist into the wall and cried harder, her body shaking. Kate looked at her inspector as she broke down crying. Getting up from her desk, she tentatively hugged Jinny. "Alright... alright. Go home. It's 4 already... and I'm out of your hair too. Sleep. Please." She didn't know how to comfort... it was the best she could do. Jinny felt Kate's arms around her, and froze up. She didn't want her comfort.. or did she? She didn't even know anymore. Kate's words, however, did get to her and she just nodded. Shaking off the captain, she turned to the door, mumbling goodbye as she left. *ANCHORSIDE-THAT NIGHT* Kate sat at a booth in Anchorside, sipping on her drink. It had been a long and tedious day. She was stil upset that Bobby Fisher was released on parole today... and she was concerned about Jinny. That's when she spotted her inspector across the room. Actually... she heard her. "What do you MEAN you won't give me another drink?!" Jinny yelled at the bartender. Her mind was fogged over, and all she wanted to do was forget. When she had gotten home that day, she had found a note threatening her life, and had spent the whole night worrying about it... until she came here, that is. "COME ON!" she yelled, and was about to yell again when she felt a hand on her arm and turned around. There was captain McCafferty, in all her glory. 'Oh God' Jinny thought and tried to smile. Kate looked at Jinny with both sympathy and anger in her eyes. She knew Jinny was hurting, but she was also upset that she had drank this much. "C'mon, Jinny, I'm taking you home." Grabbing her inspector, she walked her to the door despite the protests. "Hey hey hey!!" Jinny kept saying over and over again. Kate had no right to take her away from the bar. None. Trying to wrench her arm free, she found that she couldn't. "HEY!!! I can't go home, someone's gonna kill me.." she slurred and stumbled, almost knocking Kate over. Regaining her footing, Kate turned toward Jinny and stared at her. "Did you just say what I think you said?" Jinny nodded and fished around in her pocket for the note she stuffed in there earlier. When she found it, she handed it to Kate, who finally let go of her arm. Rubbing where her arm was held just a minute ago, Jinny had to concentrate not to fall over. Kate took the note from Jinny and read it, the color quickly draining from her face. note Jinny, Nice to see you again after all these years. I've been waiting a long time for this... a LONG time. Such a long time that this kind of hate has time to fester. love, me Kate looked back up at Jinny who looked as if she was going to pass out and made up her mind. "You're coming home with me tonight" she said and dragged Jinny out the door. *KATE'S HOUSE* Unlocking the door, Kate McCafferty brought Jinny inside her house. Walking her to the bedroom, she sat her down on the bed and looked for something for her inspector to wear. Finding some loose pants and an oversized tshirt, she handed them to Jinny. "Here.. change into this. You get the bed... just don't throw up, or you're dead." Kate walked out of the bedroom and into her living room. Sitting on the couch, she felt her eyelids get heavy, and before she knew it she was alseep in all her clothes. At two am, Kate woke up, her back stiff and her head pounding. 'God, I wish I had my bed' she thought, as she got up. 'Speaking of my bed, I'd better go check on Jinny.' Walking into her bedroom, she laughed at the site before her. Jinny hadn't even finished getting changed. She had gotten into the oversized shirt, but had passed out on the bed, on top of the covers. Going to her bedroom closet, Kate got out a blanket and covered Jinny over with it. 'At least she's off tomorrow' she thought, and went back into the living room. Laying on the couch, Kate's thoughts wandered. She thought about work, Bobby Fisher, Jinny. As the thoughts raced through her head, she drifted off to sleep again. *KATE'S HOUSE-NEXT MORNING 11:27 AM* Jinny awoke to unfamilar surroundings and a pounding headache. Looking around, she vaguely remembered the captain dragging her home and her falling asleep. Getting up, she walked through the house and found the kitchen... and a note, addressed to her. note Jinny, Food is in the fridge, if you're hungry. Asprin is in the bathroom. There are some old clothes of mine in the top drawer of my dresser next to my bed for after your shower. DON'T LEAVE. Call me if you need anything. Kate Jinny stared at the note. Don't leave? Why the hell not?! Then she remembered the note she had found at her apartment and a shiver ran down her spine. Going to the refrigerator she looked in. "Wow... captain Kate actually has some good food." Taking out some lunch meat and mayo, she began hunting for the bread when she heard the front door open. Amanda opened the door to her mom's house. She didn't know if her mom was working today, but there was only one way to find out... and that was to go looking for her. "Mom??" she called out, but was greeted with silence. Looking up, however, she saw Jinny standing there in a tshirt, looking as if she just woke up. "Uh.. Jinny..." Amanda said, confused as to why she was there. "Hey Amanda. You're mom's not here. She's working." Jinny started to walk back into the kitchen, and then realized she was just in the oversized tshirt still. 'Dear god, the girl must be confused' she said to herself and chuckled. Watching Jinny walk away, Amanda wondered again why she was there and why she was in a tshirt. Shaking her head and deciding to ask her mother rather than Jinny, she called out "Hey Jinny... I'm going to see my mom. Uh... see you later!" She heard a muffled goodbye from the kitchen and walked out the front door, still confused. *THE DIVISION-KATE'S OFFICE* Kate heard a knock on her office door and looked up to find Amanda standing there with an interesting look on her face. "Hey sweetie... what's going on?" Kate got up and hugged her daughter quickly. "Uh.. are you turning gay or something, mom?" Amanda asked, point blank, and looked at her mother for a reaction. "What?" Kate asked, not understanding where this was coming from. She looked at her daughter quizzically. She walked back to behind her desk again, thinking. "And the answer is no... but why are you asking?" Amanda let her breathe out. "Ok.. see, I went to your house looking for you and instead I found Jinny in a tshirt and..." Kate laughed and shook her head. "Jinny's at my house because she got a threat and was too drunk last night to walk alone. Don't worry, sweetie." Kate looked at her daughter, who looked relieved beyond words. Outside, she smiled, inside, Kate had a knawing knot in the pit of her stomach. "So... what were you looking for me for?" she asked, and Amanda started to talk. *KATE'S HOUSE* Jinny stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. Picking up the clothes she had gotten from Kate's drawer, she slipped them on and walked out of the bathroom. Sitting down on the bed, she flipped on the bedroom tv and slipped her hand under one of Kate's pillows. She felt something hard, like a book, and she pulled it out. Examining it, she let out a breathe. "Kate's diary... this should be interesting..." Jinny opened up the book and started reading. It was pretty slow going until she got to a part about her, and she nearly dropped the book. TO BE CONTINUED hehehe.. how'd u like?
