Jump Street - Next Victim

[Jacky]

(Volgende keer dat we allebei op msn zijn moeten we maar es agenda's erbij pakken wel zo handig.)

Sera was still looking the drawers of the desk when Fullers door opened again. She quickly closed the drawer soundlessly, so no one would know what she and Stacey had been doing. She shot her friend a quick grin.

Together with Doug, Tom left the office and walked over to the girls. "Hey."

"Hey," Sera leaned against the desk casually. "Are you fired?"

Tom smirked slightly, "No, not yet. We're uh.. we're gonna try to finish this case. But for that, we sorta need your help." He glanced over to Stacey too. "Both of you."

(good idea Nice icon btw!! Waar gaat Swallowed alive ook alweer over? komt me wel bekend voor die titel )

"our help ? Why ? Haven't we been in danger enough recently?" Stacy blurted out, scared that she had to face the killer Again.

"Doug glanced at Tom's desk and the drawer that Sera just closed as they walked out, he frowned a little but did not mention it. "Don't worry, there'll be a whole policeteam nearby"

"That's what was supposed to happen last time right?" Stacy said, raising her eyebrow daringly.

(Dan zitten ze in zo'n jeugdgevangenis.. Met 'The Hammer' enzo En Doug die claustrofobisch is.)

"Last time, nobody knew the killer was gonna show." Tom told her, "This time, we'll be ready for him. The idea is that us four will go back to the house you stayed in before. Doug and Sera will take off, so the killer will know that it's just us two there. He'll probably try to finish his job. We'll be prepared though, you and I will be stuck in some bulletproof vests and there will be some policemen in the house with us. As soon as the killer makes his move, he's gonna be arrested."
Tom paused, looking at Stacey.. knowing that she'd need a little more convincing than that.
"It's our best shot, Stacey. We need to make a bust and put this guy behind bars.. If we don't, who knows when he'll show again. Maybe that time there wouldn't be a police squad to back you up."

"hm.. but.. we're bait" she mumbled, turning slightly pale again at the thought of being bait for that freak. "Will you be armed? Will I be armed? I need to shout him if things go wrong and he comes too close" She said, sounding a bit frantic.

[Jacky]

Tom could tell she was starting to panic. He wondered whether they were asking too much of her. With the life with lived and the way she managed, it became easy to forget that she was just a girl. Not some kind of super-kid who could deal with this. She was just an innocent kid, who was thrown into this mess because some idiot never left her a choice. Was it fair to ask help from her? Could he even justify this to himself?

The thing was though.. Tom really wanted to solve this case. This murderer deserved nothing more than being arrested. And in the back of his mind he realized that Stacey would be worse of if the killer didn't get caught. So if this was their best shot at arresting him, she had profit from it too.
He just really didn't want her to get hurt under his responsibility. Or any else's.

"Listen," He put a hand on her shoulder, "I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure this guy gets caught. I will be armed while we're in that place. The guys who will be in the house with us will be armed as well. You're not getting hurt. I promise you that, okay? You can trust me."

[Jacksblackpearl]

"Yes, I know I can.. you said it before" she mumbled and took a step back, glancing at Sera.
She wasn't sure if she had to do this or not. If it meant that that idiot would get what he deserved than she was all for it, but she had faced this guy before and he was not just your average highschool kid. "I eh.. you need an answer right now?" she asked, not too sure of everything. If Tom would be there things were less terrible already. She knew he knew what he was doing, otherwise he wouldn't be a cop obviously... Still the idea of herself helping in an oficial police matter, she wasn't sure she was able to do that. What if SHE screwed up ?

[Jacky]

Tom shared a glance with Doug. An answer now would be most convenient, sure. But if, with a little more thinking time, the answer would more certainly be a yes, that time was worth it. So he looked back over to the girls, finding a compromise between what the team wanted (a quick answer) and what the girls needed (some time to think).
"Hey, what about this.." He suggested, "We're gonna get you two some coffee, you can think about it for a while and we'll get back to you some later."

Sera nodded, finally speaking up again as well. She felt this was more Stacey's problem than hers after all.. Stacey had more right to decide, since the killer wanted her first. "Okay." She now agreed though, eager for that promised cup of coffee.

[Jacksblackpearl]

"Good.. okay, thank you" Stacy mumbled to both Tom and DOug and watched them take off.
Stacy turned her glance at Sera "What do you think I should do? I think I know what to do but.. I don't want to take the decision alone" she admitted.
She felt small again, like the little child she was before when she made the big decision to run away from home. Back than she had noone to support her or even to talk to and right now she did and she wanted to make sure she was going to do the right thing.

[Jacky]

Sera shrugged, "It's your decision more than mine.." She said hesitantly. "The killer wanted you and Tom in the first place. But.. I think maybe it's a good idea, if they catch him, at least he won't bother us ever again."

[Jacksblackpearl]

"I know, I want to help Tom. But.. I don't want to screw up you know?" She expressed her worries about the plan. It wasn't as much the fact that the policeofficers might screw up but more that she might screw up. "I could do the wrong thing or something and bring everyone in danger.. that's what scares me most. I don't doubt that Tom'll do a good job, he's a good officer right?" she asked Sera, to be sure.
