Without You - Part 2
3 years later

Jason: * sitting in a interrogation room waiting for Officer Stokes to come back *
Mallory: * sleeping in Jason's arms *
Jason: * looks down at her and smiles *

It was tough for Jason and Julia raising a baby at a young age but they had help from Ralph and Alex, they couldn't get any happier that they were there for them. Julia hasn't heard from her mother nor her brother ever since that day but she didn't care about it. Sadly 1 year later after Mallory was born, Jason and Julia decided to go out to get some coffee and all of the sudden after they ordered their drinks a man was demanding the cashier to give him all the money with a gun in his hands and Julia sacrificed herself to save the love of her life. Jason was crushed when he watched Julia die in his arms that night and now he has to raise his little girl all by himself but still has help from his brother and Ralph. Mallory is now 3 years old and Jason is trying his best to raise his little girl now that Julia is gone.

Stokes: * walks in the room with a soda in
his hand *
Jason: * looks up and see's him *
Stokes: * puts the soda on the table and opens it for him *
Jason: where's your gun, your vest, your badge
you off work or something
Stokes: well no I only wear my vest when I'm in the field and you can't really have your gun on in this room and I'm not a cop so I don't have a badge, I just have an ID
Jason: you still represent the authority, everything I hate just like you probably hate me
Stokes: now hates got nothing to do with you man you know what I really hate right now it's kinda eating me alive * sits down *
Jason: * carefully sits up straight trying not to wake up Mallory *
Stokes: a few days ago, a police officer lost his life on my watch because I didn't have his back and he had a wife and two kids, when I went to the funeral to pay my respects, his family asked me to leave I hated that you know but I got involved in law enforcement because I want to try and help people and that's the only reason I'm here man is trying to help you out
Jason: * remembers the day Julia's mom and her brother came to her funeral but asked them to leave for what they did to her *

Mallory: * starts fussing * dada
Jason: daddy will be right back, baby
Ralph: * goes with Jason *
Jason: * clenches his fist * you guys have some a lot of fucking nerves being here
Smurf: we just wanna pay our respects and saying that we're sorry
Andrew: if that's okay with you
Jason: * scoffs * yeah right after a year of leaving her in the middle of the streets now you came here for respect and saying sorry
Smurf: yes
Ralph: yeah well that's all just bullshit
Andrew: Look we just want to—
Jason: * tries to hold back his tear *
how could you do that to Julia, she needed you, she loved you, she has been there for you Andrew and that's how you repay her for choosing to stay with your mom instead of your very own sister
Andrew: I just—
Jason: You two need to get out here now and don't come back ever again
Smurf: like hell we are

Andrew: * leaves with her *
Jason: * breathes heavily *
Ralph: * pulls Jason in his arms *
Jason: * starts crying uncontrollably *
——————————————————————
Stokes: Jason are you okay
Jason: uhhhh yeah I'm okay just remembered something
Stokes: do you have a brother named Alex
Jason: * sighs and nods *
Stokes: well if you really love him and you don't want anymore people to die, you need to go ahead and tell me where he is right now
Jason: they're going to kill him, aren't they
Stokes: not if I can help it
Jason: I didn't have anything to do with the bombs I swear, I just bought the airplane
Stokes: I believe you but what's the deal with your brother
Jason: when the cops arrested Ralph...Alex snapped, Ralph was like a father to us, he was a decent man and the cops treat him like a low life
Stokes: so your brothers waging war against the entire Las Vegas Police Force because of the way that Ralph was treated
Jason: he told me he was just going to throw a scare in the cops not blow them up
Stokes: okay look all you're guilty of right now is buying a model airplane and that's not a crime last time I checked but it is a crime to make bombs and go around trying to kill people like your brothers doing so you got to go ahead and tell me where he is Jason
Jason: I can't
Stokes: why not
Mallory: * wakes up and rubs her eyes * daddy
Jason: shhhh it's okay Mallory go back to sleep everything's fine
Mallory: * nods and goes back to sleep *
Jason: * kisses her head *
Stokes: she's the reason why isn't she, Jason
Jason: * sighs heavily * yeah she is
Stokes: look if you really want to protect him and your daughter...you've got to help me get him into custody as soon as possible before somebody else get hurt, especially Mallory
Jason: * looks down at her *
Mallory: * snuggles in his arms *
Stokes: where is he
Jason: he's got a house in old Henderson
Stokes: where
Jason: on Landon
Stokes: Landon, good man * quickly stands up and leaves *
Jason: you better hurry that show at the funeral was just fireworks compared to what's coming
