Breathe (Tom Hanson 21 Jump Street)

piece of the puzzle.

I hate everything about my father and yet I am waiting to sit across from him in 10 years. When my father was locked up when I was 16 I promised myself I would never see or talk to him again. But it seems now he is the only one to help me with the Valley family. I look over at Tom for a second and he gives me a reassuring smile as a door slams. I look up to a man I do not recognize. My once fit father was chubby and grey. He smiles big as he walks over to the table. "Quinny! I knew you couldn't stay away." He says taking a seat with his hands still in cuffs. He looks over to Tom. "Is this your boyfriend?" He asks and I get frustrated. "I am not here to catch up dad." I say and he completely ignores me. "How long have you guys been together?" He asks Tom and I just shake my head. Was he trying to play the caring concerned father? I smack my hand on the table hard commanding his attention. "STOP! I don't know what you think is going on here but you are only a source to me nothing more!" I say forcefully and he smiles. "Yes, sweetheart. What do you need?" He asks with a smirk. "I need to know everything about the Valley family," I say and he leans back laughing. "You want to stay far from Chris Valley and his gang." He says and I feel the blood boil. "Unfortanly father that's not possible since you murdered my family." I say and I see a shift in his eyes. Almost guilt but it was something else like he was defeated. "I didn't kill your mother or my son." He whispers. I couldn't believe it! He was lying straight to my face. "Stop Lying!" I yell. He looks up in disbelief. "What do you remember about that night?" He asks leaning forward. "John came in and told me to hide and be quiet then there was banging, you were screaming at mom. Then I came out and you were holding a gun." I say feeling the anxiety of the night fill my body. "I was trying to kill myself. But your mother tried to stop me." He says I shake my head no. "Then why was she beaten and blooded?" I ask. "Your brother John brought her in from the parking lot. The Valley family was sending a message to me." He says. "Comply or your family will die." He continues. "I was going to end it all until John pulled the gun away and it went off in his chest." He says as tears start to form in his eyes. "And here I am paying for the mistakes I have made for torturing my family." He says as tears fall. I didn't know if I believed him or not. I have always seen my father as a sick man who was broke and killed the ones he loved. "Anything you want to know about the Valley I will tell you." He says in defeat. I was confused about what he just confessed. I could feel anxiety rise in my chest and things were becoming tight. I get up quickly walking out the door. I could feel Tom follow behind me. Suddenly things around get black and I fall to the ground.

I could feel myself sweat as I come to. "Hey, hey your okay." Tom says I open my eyes to my apartment. I sit up quickly but an overwhelming headache sets in. "Hey, careful. You hit your head pretty hard." He says touching my forehead. "What happened with my dad? Did we get the information?" I ask and he smiles at me. "Yeah, I got it all. But it's a lot deeper than we thought." He says and turns to him curious. "So it turns out that the Valley's reach is further than the high schools they pay off most of the Police departments to give a blind eye to all of their trades and businesses. " he says and I shake my head. "So we don't know who to trust." I say and he nods. "Jump streets are the only ones we know who aren't paid off." Tom says. "Then we start there." I say and Tom looks down. "What? What is it?" I ask and he looks straight into my eyes. "Nobody knows where Judy is." He says and my heart starts to race. "What are you talking about? I thought she went to get you that night?" I ask and he shakes his head no. "She never made it to me and I couldn't find her that night." He says and brings my knees to my chest. "Fuck!" I say bringing my hands to my face. The overwhelming amount of guilt fills my body. I fall back into the bed feeling depression fill my body. "Quinn, we are going to find her." He says and I wish I could believe him but part of me feels that she is gone. 

I couldn't sleep thinking about Judy and if she was safe or not. I had the TV in the background as I pace the open area of my apartment. Suddenly there is a loud banging on my door my attention becomes hyper-focused. I walk over to my door slowly when it bursts open and men charge in. I am grabbed roughly as Chris Valley walks in looking around the apartment. "God Quinn you look like your mother." He says and I feel rage fill my body and I try to attack him but I am held in place. "Oh and feisty too." He says coming over to me. He places his finger on my cheek. "If you want to see your friends alive you will walk out this door to the SUV downstairs without a fight." He says and I shake my head. "You're not going to get away with this!" I say and he smirks. "I already have sweetheart. you are the last piece of the puzzle." He says motioning to the men to take me. I am swept out the door to the SUV. They place a black bag over my head and shove me inside.
