CH-5

After leaving 'DAWN', Jax went to the music store down the road, the interior was bigger than it seemed from the outside.

Behind the counter was a man in his 50s, closer to the entrance was a young woman organizing the CD shelves.

"Jax is that you? said the man behind the counter.

"Hey old man it's been a while", said Jax with a small smile.

"Who you calling an old man, brat" he yelled back.

"He's talking about you Dad, look around there's no one else here tonight", said the young woman while trying to stifle her laughter.

"How've you been Amelia?"

Jax knew Amelia and her father, Paul well, as a kid he came here with his father to buy a few CDs, he had also bought his first guitar here. Paul had taught him how to play but after a few years, he realized that Jax had gotten better than he was.

He had seen Amelia a few times back then but their first real meeting wasn't so pleasant. It was a few years ago before Jax had left Forks.

-------------------------

At a small restaurant, Jax was having dinner with Charlie.

"So you want to take this scholarship to that highschool? Why though I don't understand." Asked Charlie with a confused expression.

"Well, normal classes will be the same both here and there and there's a Muay Thai gym here in town, but it's small and they're more focused on self-defense or getting some exercise done and stay healthy so they don't compete in tournaments." Explained Jax.

"I want to compete against others and even fight people older and more experienced than me."

'Honestly, I just want to know how my fighting skills from my previous life compare in this world.' So while Jax was saying one thing he had a different reason.

"So don't worry it isn't because I resent you and mom or some weird reason like that, and I'll come and visit on weekends and holidays."

"Fine but you're not riding that damn bike you aren't even old enough yet."

"Aw come on Dad you know I drive safer than most people."

"Yes I know, because I had to pull you over myself you're not old enough to even have a license."

Before he could continue to scold his son Charlie got a call.

"Sorry, Jax I have to go back to the precinct." Said Charlie after he hung up

"It's fine it is for work, after all, go I'll get home on my own"

After they left the restaurant Jax was walking back home, even though it was dark he didn't feel afraid or paranoid, hell he felt at ease, it was one of the reasons he preferred nighttime to daytime. The darkness that would leave other people paranoid cleared his mind it was why he decided to walk home instead of calling a cab.

While he was lost in thought trying to remember the net verse to the song he was humming he heard a scream, it came from an alley up ahead when he got there he saw a woman who had fallen on the ground she had blood dripping down the side of her face, she was clutching her sides and coughing out blood.

Above her was a man trying to regain his balance and was trying to say something but was incoherent he seemed drunk, he had just pulled out a pocket knife with his right hand.

Having seen this Jax got angry not only had someone interrupted his peaceful moment but he saw this scene. The two things he hated the most were rapists and abusive boyfriends/husbands.

"HEY ASSHAT, LEAVE BEFORE I MAKE YOU," Jax said through gritted teeth was fuming he had just recognized the woman on the ground it was Amelia.

"Who are you ... you're ... you re just a kid ... don't try to be a hero she's mine you hear me MINE" when the guy finished yelling he ran at Jax.

As he was swung at, Jax dodged to the left, he reached out grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his opponent's back, he kept twisting until he heard bone break and the knife dropping to the floor, once he did he pushed the man away from him just hard enough to create adequate space to kick him to the side of his head, not with his foot but his tibia.

It was over in seconds after the guy fell to the ground, unconscious, Jax took off his belt and tied his hands behind his back.

He turned around and out his phone as he called 911 he checked up on Amelia.

"911 what's the emergency." a woman answered in a calm voice

"Yeah, this is Jax Swan the chief of police is my father, I need you to to send 2 officers to my location and an ambulance it's at ---- in one of the alleys."

"Ok Jax calm down my name is Gloria help is on the way can you tell me what happened."

"I am calm, pissed off but calm, a man attacked a woman, her ribs are fractured it could be a pneumothorax but she is breathing for now."

"And the culprit?"

"I knocked him out so he'll be napping for a while, I'm guessing you already notified my father could you tell him to relax cause I'm fine"

"Will do"

After a few minutes passed a patrol car arrived

"You're finally here, don't forget the knife on the ground, it belongs to that guy and the statement can wait till morning, you can take hers then too."

As the ambulance arrived and Jax got on it with Amelia, but before he could close the door a patrolman asked Jax:

"Wait here's your belt back"

Jax laughed "You a rookie? That goes to evidence, for now, you may need it in court also tell the chief I'll be at the hospital."
