Things couldn't get any better for Julia Andrew, the newest addition to the Jump Street team. She enjoys going undercover in high schools and gets along very well with her new colleagues, especially Tom Hanson who quickly became her best friend.
But...
Much to my dismay, things were pretty boring for me at the chapel. My last case had been solved two days ago and I was now waiting for a new assignment. Meanwhile, the only thing left for me to do was paperwork. Better than nothing yeah, but damn boring. And the worst part was I had just finished filling the last paper left on my desk which basically meant I had nothing to do with myself anymore now. I sighed in frustration, lifting my eyes up to study my surroundings, desperately searching for any kind of entertainment. My gaze wandered the room before stopping on an empty desk not far from mine.
Lia's desk.
I sighed again. If only she had been there. I missed her here. We all did. It felt like forever since the last time she'd been here, but fortunately she would soon return. In about ten days, she would be back and I couldn't wait for it. My eyes started traveling again, pausing on Harry's desk for a second. It was his turn to take care of Lia this week, so he was missing as well. This place was seriously depressing without these two. Luckily Hanson and Penhall were there.
Speaking of whom...
Flashbacks of the day Tom had brought Julia to my apartment suddenly came flooding back in my mind.I began thinking.

Flashback
"Jude ?"
"Hmm ?", I hummed, waiting for Julia to go on.
"Have you ever...been in love ?", she turned around to face me.
"Yes, I have", I responded. She turned around again so it was now her back that was facing me.
"Have you ever...been so in love...so madly and helplessly in love...that it ...terrified you ?", she very hesitantly asked again after a short pause.
---------------------
Lia was in love with someone, there was no doubting it. But how ? I mean, she barely even did anything else in her free time apart from hanging out with...
Hanson ?
My eyes widened in realization. It suddenly made sense. If Lia and Tom were secretly dating, it would actually explain a lot of things. His excessively protective attitude toward her for example, or the intense staring at one another, as well as their obvious constant need to hold each other. It would also explain why he was so devastated at the hospital the day she got shot. I mean, we all were, but Hanson seemed even worse than us all, like...broken.
Honestly the more I thought about it, the more I got convinced that these two were hiding something. And whatever it was, I was definitely gonna find out. Now the problem was if I confronted them with my assumptions, they would most likely both deny it, regardless if they were telling the truth or not. I would have to be smarter than this. I had to think of something.
