Tom Holland Imagines

The Lawyer (part nine) (Lawyer!Tom)

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I groaned and rolled over in bed, my alarm ringing in my ears as I blindly searched for the snooze button. 

"Wow. You are definitely not a morning person," A voice said and I opened my eyes. Tom was lying next to me, his right arm propped up to support him. 

"What time is it?" I asked, ignoring his remark. 

"Around seven, I've got to get to the office, we're interviewing Jack Patel today," He said and I nodded. 

"If all of these boys have a solid alibi what are we going to do?" I asked and Tom shrugged, shifting his position to rest his head on the pillow. 

"I don't know to be honest. It's been three weeks since we interviewed Camden and we aren't any closer to eliminating either boy," He whispered and I willed myself not to close my eyes and cuddle into the warmth Tom was giving off. 

Before I could dose off again, Tom's phone rang and he moved to answer it. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to wake up. 

"Hey," Tom said to the person on the other line, whoever it was talked fast and I watched as Tom's face turned pale. He looked over at me, uncertainty in his eyes as he ended the call. 

"Nathan Campbell ran away," he said and I felt my breath get caught in my throat. 

"W-what?" I asked again, but Tom didn't repeat himself. Instead, he got out of bed and hurried to put regular clothes on, I did the same. 

"His mother is tracking his phone, as of right now he's on a plane to Arlington, Texas," He said and pulled out his phone, showing me something that Juliet had sent him. 

"Why the hell is he going to Texas?" I asked and Tom shook his head. 

"I have no idea. Only a guilty man would run but he can't be that stupid, could he?" Tom mumbled and I rushed out of the room and grabbed my car keys off of the kitchen counter. 

"I'm coming with you," I stated but Tom shook his head, again. 

"Y/n, Robert will literally kill you if-" 

"I don't care what he thinks Tom! I can't just sit here while the man that rapped my cousin is on the run. I have to help!" I shouted and Tom nodded. 

"Ok," He whispered and we rushed out to the car and got in. 

I drove as fast as legally possible to the office, slamming the car door as  Tom and I ran inside. 

Juliet was sitting in Tom's office when we stormed inside, scaring her so much that she fell out of the chair. 

"Tom! Y/n?" She seemed surprised to see me. Tom sat down at his desk and I sat next to Juliet. "What are you doing here?" 

"I'm helping with the case," I stated but she shook her head. 

"But Robert took you off the case. You aren't allowed since Emma is your cousin," She said and I gave her a weird look. 

"I never told you she was my cousin, the only people that knew was Tom and Robert," I said and her face paled. 

"W-well I thought everyone knew after Robert took you off..."

I was quiet for a moment but brushed her weird behaviour off, I had more important things to worry about. 

"So, we need to get a team together and go to Arlington. I have a friend there on the force who can help," I said and Tom nodded. 

"The three of us will go and I'll get James Decker to come with as well, I trust him with my life and he's one of the smartest guys I know,"

"Alright, then let's get to work." 

-

The company I worked for had a private jet, it was seldom used but at this moment, very helpful. 

I sat next to Tom, my left leg bouncing up and down, my nerves off the hook. Tom placed a hand on my thigh, trying to pin my leg down which didn't work as I just started to bounce my right leg.

Juliet sat across from us, never taking her eyes off of me. I gave her a confused look, did I do something wrong? It suddenly clicked when I realised that Tom's hand was still on my thigh. I lightly pushed it off of me and crossed my legs. 

"Are you absolutely sure that Nathan is really the one we should be after? Maybe it's just a classic case of a teen running away," Juliet remarked and Tom shrugged, a sigh escaping his lips as he leaned back in his seat. 

"That may be but he is apart of a pending investigation, leaving the city is very suspicious," He said and Juliet nodded. Silence engulfed us as one of the pilots spoke over the intercome. 

"Ten minutes until we reach our destination of Arlington, Texas. Be prepared for landing." 

I just want to take this time to say that I am SO proud of Tom. He's been working so hard recently and deserves a much needed break until SM3! I hope he knows how much he is loved and supported by everyone around him! ❤️💙
