"Young Love"
by Sue

**Part Four**

Setting:  Los Angeles, California

In the suite of the Beverly Hills Hilton...

          Jonny Quest just stood there stunned, and speechless.  He opened
his mouth in total shock, but couldn't find the words.  He couldn't believe
what had just happened.  He couldn't believe the mess he had made.  He stood
there frozen in the direction of where Jessie ran off.
          "Jonny, I don't think I can work for you and your dad anymore,"
said Race who was deeply hurt.  "You have ruined everything, Jonny!"
          "Race, please, you've got to understand...," pleaded Jade.  
          "No, Jade!" shouted Race in anger as he turned to Jade.  "I have
had enough of you!  Jade, you can just go to hell!"  And, he stormed out of
the suite.
          "Jonny, I'm sorry...I...," said Jade with tears in her eyes.
          "Jade, just forget it!" said Jonny.  "Thanks to my stupidity, I've
lost a good friend and the only girl I have ever loved!   I have never loved
you!"
          "Then, why did you kiss me?" asked Jade.
          "'Cause I was stupid!" shouted Jonny in anger.  "Jade, I think you
should just stay out of my life, and just go away!"  And, Jonny ran out of
the suite.
          "Jade, I think you have caused enough problems," said Benton
sternly.  He had heard everything.  He handed Jade a plane ticket.  "I think
you should leave.  I have already booked you a flight for a oneway ticket to
Japan."
          "But, Benton...," pleaded Jade.
          "No, Jade, just leave," said Benton.
          Jade just stood there confused and dazed, and didn't know what to
do or say.
          Hadji came out of his room.
          "I heard everything," said Hadji.  "What a mess.  I guess, Jonny
didn't listen to my advice."
          "What do you mean, Hadji?" asked Benton.
          "Jonny, told me everything last night," explained Hadji.  "He told
me how Jade and Jessie came to him, and both told him they're in love with
him.  Jonny told me that he had always loved Jessie.  And, I told him he
should choose Jessie, and not Jade.  I don't know what happened."
          "Oh...God.  Hadji, you go find Jonny, and I'll go find Race and
Jessie," commanded Benton.  "We still have to go the precinct, and meet
Captain Hoffs."
          "Okay, Dr. Quest," answered Hadji.

In the lobby of the hotel...

          Jonny walked into the lobby, and spotted Race and Jessie sitting on
the sofa.
          "Dad, how could he do that?" asked Jessie sobbing on her dad's
shoulder.  "I...thought he loved me.  I never loved anyone else, but Jonny.
 How could he ruin my life, and break my heart like that?"
           "I don't know, sweetheart," said Race trying to comfort his
daughter.  "I can't believe he would do that."
           Jonny walked up to Race and Jessie.
           "What do you want, Jonny?" asked Jessie in anger.
           "I came to apologize, Jess...Race," pleaded Jonny.  
           "Jonny, there is nothing you can say that can repair the damage
you have made," said Jessie disgusted.  "I've decided to move to Peru, and
live with my mom."
           "Yeah, and I'm goin' with her," said Race.  "I just have to tell
your father I can't work for you two anymore."
            "But, Race...Jess," pleaded Jonny.
            "Just go away, Jonny," said Jessie coldly.
            Jonny just stood there in shock, and speechless.  Then, he walked
out of the hotel, and took the car.
            After Jonny had left, Hadji came to the lobby looking for Jonny.
 He spotted Race and Jessie, and walked up to them.
            "Race...Jessie, have you tow seen Jonny?" asked Hadji.
            "Who cares, Hadji?" asked Jessie and still upset.
            "I do, Jessie," said Hadji sounding quite annoyed.  "I thought
you  did, too."
            "Well, after what he did to me, he is no friend of mine!" said
Jessie painfully.  "Jonny can just go to hell!"
            Benton arrived at the lobby, and walked up to the Bannons and
Hadji.  
            "Have you guys seen Jonny?" asked Benton with much concern.
            "Yeah, he just left and drove off," said Race with a straight
face.
            "Well, aren't you going to go after him?!" asked Benton annoyed.
 "Race, I hired you to look after my son!"
            "Well, I'm not his bodyguard anymore, or yours!" shouted Race in
anger.  "I'm quittin' as your bodyguard, Benton!"
            "Race!  You can't be serious!" shouted Benton.
            "I am serious!" shouted Race. "After what you son did...I just
can't work for you anymore!"
            "Look, Jade is the one at fault for putting ideas into Jonny's
head!  Not Jonny!" said Benton in anger.
            "Yeah, but your son is old enough to say no!" said Race annoyed.
 "Jess and I are gonna move to Peru, and live with Estella.  We feel it's
better this way."
            Benton looked at his watch.
            "Now, I have to call Captain Hoffs, and tell him we can't make
it," said Benton annoyed.  "You know how upset he's going to be?"  Benton
turned to Hadji.  "Hadji, take the other car, and continue to search for
Jonny."
            "Yes, Dr. Quest," answered Hadji as he left.
            The Bannons and Benton walked back to the suite.
            "I wonder if Jade had left yet," said Benton just as they arrived
at the suite.
            "I hope she did," said Jessie.
            Benton, then, opened tthe door to the suite, and they all walk
into the silence that filled the room.
            "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Jessie as she saw Jade's
body hanging on from the light fixure on the ceiling.
            "Oh, dear God!!!" said Race in horror and shock.  "Jade!!!"
            "I can't believe...I don't understand," said Benton in total
shock and horror.  "Jess, call 911!"
            Jessie ran to the phone.
            Race picked up the plane ticket from the floor.  He slammed his
fist on the table.  
            "Jade, why?!  For God's sake, why?!" shouted Race in despair.
 Then, he started to cry.
