Buried in the Dark

Chapter 1 – The Past, the Present and the Future.

Nicole's POV

They've locked me in the dark for ages now. Well it seems like ages. Crap food and crap bedding. Typical jail cell I assume, nothing like an Australian jail. I'm off parole for the twenty-five years. God it's boring, I've met the loveliest people in here. Some of the most famous women murderers ever in American history that ever been committed. This one woman killed a whole family because they were pissing her off like hell so she shot them all dead. All of them have been up against detectives Goren and Eames. They all thought that I finally got him, messed up his life, god that was fun. Most of the women in here want revenge just as bad as I do. I have a good lawyer so I should be out in a matter of months. They will give Eames and Goren a big surprise when I'm at their doorstep. Or someone else…

2 months later … Alex – POV

Since Nicole has been locked in jail for the past five months it's been heaven for me and Goren. We have solved four cases in a matter of three months and it feels good. He has been himself lately and now I'm glad we finally have the bitch in jail. I smiled up at him as he came to his desk with two cups of coffee. He sat down and placed one of my desks and one on his.

"Thanks," I smiled at him.

"So how's the case going?" he asked "Getting anywhere?" he added, curiously.

"Nope," I answered, looking up on the internet.

"Get off the internet," Goren ordered. Damn! He always when I'm on the internet, I love it especially if I'm on the New Woman website.

For the past five months Deakins has been watching me and Bobby like a hawk since we put Nicole in jail I bet he suspects something is going on between us, yes we have been dating under Deakins and Carver's nose. Nicole knew it that was why she kidnapped me from The Shrine Restaurant and tied me up in a warehouse somewhere in Yonkers where she used to torture her lovers.

Unfortunately my ex-boyfriend Karl was in on it as well and he got killed by Nicole while Goren was trying to not get anyone killed. Well, most of the crap I went through I'm over it now. Goren and I are still in a good relationship better than before Nicole came back. Deakins glances over to us every five minutes; I think he suspects something is going on between us. If he knows he might not like it, but that's why we act so different from home than work. Just as I was going to ask if Goren what he wanted me to cook for dinner Deakins came over with a scared look on his face.

"Eames, Goren there is a hostage situation going on in St Mark's hospital," Deakins said, firmly.

"Shit, my sister works there," I cried out. "What floor?"

"Second," he answered, looking down. "Shots have been fired already, hurry, the FBI is on their way there," he informed us. I grabbed my coat and didn't bother waiting for Goren. He caught up as I started the car and sped away.

Third person POV

"Now, give me her," the person in the black mask said to the confused nurse. She looked like someone he had seen on TV before. Some sort of courage award, that's it! Detective Eames, she must be her sister or something. This just keeps getting better every time, he thought and grinned at the lady. His gun pointed at her, he wanted to see his baby, his baby Sarah that's all he wanted.

"Mr. Sutton, a restraining order has been put on you, you can't go near her or the baby," the nurse said, her name tag read, Kelly Rodgers. She must be married to the freak David Rodgers the fireman who got bravery award from 9/11. His grin widened as Kelly stepped back from him, looking scared as hell. Her sister must be coming soon. He could see the FBI was around somewhere waiting for him to do his move on Kelly. The other nurses were either protecting patients or hiding away from him, unlike Kelly was doing. She wanted to play hero, she can play hero with him, and if she moved a little he would put a bullet through her skull right then and there.

Then elevator doors opened and saw the two Detectives he loved. Goren and Eames. They were good together solving cases like a click of a finger. They both had their guns trained on him like a circus animal waiting to be executed.

"Let her go, Sutton or you'll be the one in heaven," Eames said firmly and glanced at her scared looking sister.

"Is that threat, Alex? It seems to be me that there were more threats than that to Wallace," he answered, smirking at her

"It seems like you're the only that cares about her," Eames smirked. Before he answered, he lunged towards Kelly and put his gun against her head.

"Let her go!" Alex shrieked. "Let Kelly go, she doesn't know anything Nicole," Eames ordered again.

"Sutton, we know what your game is," Goren said, firmly. "Let Mrs. Rodgers go and we can talk, you take us instead of her, please just let her go," he added, dropping his gun casually to the floor. Sutton looked from Goren and me to Kelly then to the gun. He grinned at them and pushed Kelly away from him. Alex hugged her sister when she went towards the elevators then disappeared into the building.

"Drop your gun, Alex now!" he yelled angrily. Alex glared at him then dropped it. "Kick over to me, same with you Robert," he ordered furiously, still had his gun trained on me and Goren.

"Cops playing heroes I loved that story," he sneered at them. "And they always end up dead in the end," he laughed at them. He loved the look on Alex's face. He knew her well enough to know she was scared. He laughed at the look on her face still. Sometimes he thought he was already in heaven when she turned up in the interrogation room alone. He always wanted to be with a woman alone, a beautiful woman that is. She sat down across from him as she decided to talk about the case with him. How they found his fingerprints on the evidence, the victim and god knows what else he touched. He wasn't even listening to her, he was to busy admiring her face than her words. Under the table he took off his shoes and stroked one of his feet with her leg. She jumped from the touch like fire on paper.

"Mr. Sutton if you do that again I'll put in contempt," she threatened. He remembered her saying to him. Her beautiful lips moved but he didn't hear a word she said.

"But I thought you wanted to play with me," he sulked like a three-year-old.

"My ass, I wanna play," she said sarcastically.

"You're just like your sister, cute, sweet and innocent and all else feisty," he smirked and licked his lips at her like a puppy waiting for its meal. She looked at me disgusted and threw open the door and found Detective Goren standing there waiting for her.

Sutton laughed out loud as he remembered the dark glare Goren gave him that day.

"I still think you're like her, Alex," he whispered. "Just a bit shorter that's all, I like the short ones always good for a quick fuck," he licked his lips at her. He saw her move towards me but Goren put his arm up to stop her.

"Look, keep her out of this? Did Nicole send you?" Goren asked him, firmly.

"Who else?" he smirked and aimed Eames gun at the detectives. Great I might get killed with my own gun, she thought angrily, how fucking thoughtful of him.

"Why?"

"Because she has connections okay," he answered in a rage tone.

"If you shoot you'll be going to hell with us," Goren warned him. Sutton arched his eyebrows at them. He seemed confused by Goren warning. Then he pulled the gun on both of them but then Sutton fell hard on the floor with a thud. A doctor was behind him and grinned at them as he looked from the detectives to Sutton.

Alex POV

Well thanks to that Doctor, Goren and I may have been killed with my gun. Sutton did eventually wake up in the interrogation room.

It was quite funny how he reacted to waking up there. I couldn't help myself making a baby comment about the way he slept. He just glared at me for the comment and leaned back in his chair.

That's when Goren decided to start the interrogating. I always admired Goren's technique in the interrogation room.

Well as all interrogations, Goren let me do the talking first before he came in for the kill but this time Goren wasn't doing as well he thought he would. It reminded me when we were interrogating Nicole Wallace but instead a male version of her.

Tell you the truth I thought that was scaring that there were more like her. It gave me more to think about when we finally stopped interrogating because his lawyer came in and busted our asses for talking to him with a lawyer.

We went into the observation room and talked with Carver and Deakins. They didn't think we'll get a good conviction out of him because we couldn't prove anything.

After our discussion with Carver and Deakins, they had to let Sutton go. We were pissed off but we had to do paperwork which I didn't really mind. When I arrived at my desk, Kelly was there grinning at me like it was the first day at school. I hugged her.

"I'm glad you're okay," I told her. Bobby came over and gave me a 'will you introduce us' look.

"Kelly, this is my partner Bobby Goren and Bobby this is my sister Kelly." Bobby and Kelly shook hands. Goren grinned at her.

"Trying to impress my sister, she has a husband," I murmured to him.

"Oh," Goren answered and still had the smile on his face.

"Wanna coffee?" I asked, Kelly.

"Sure, where is the coffee machine?"

"I'll make it for you," I insisted

"No it's okay, I need to talk to you anyway," she whispered to me and I followed her with a questioning look on my face. I saw Goren sit down at his desk and started doing the paperwork for the Sutton incident. We were at the coffee when Kelly gave me and 'he's hot' look and glanced at Goren. I shook my head at her.

"No, Kelly, I'm not dating him, I can't date him, Bobby's my partner," I lied to her, quickly. I know I just lied then but hey she has a big mouth she could tell anyone.

"Oh, c'mon, you always told me to go for it," Kelly teased her, boiling the water.

"Yeah, but he's a fireman," I reminded her.

"So, what?"

"You won't see him die in front of you," I said, regretting it as soon as it came out of my mouth. "Sorry," I added, quickly, realizing that I said one of the most stupid things to say, David, Kelly's husband almost died in 9/11 that's why he got that bravery award for saving people before himself.

"No, its okay, probably true," she answered firmly, in a flat tone. The kettle screamed and she poured it both for her and me. I felt bad but I didn't want to see Goren die in front of me, ever. But every time we walk out of this office there's a chance one of will die no matter what the situation is. I kept thinking about one day one of us will die in the line of duty, like my husband did years ago ever since I started working in Major Case.

"So, who's Wallace?" Kelly asked, suddenly, giving me a questioning look.

"Just someone Goren and I sent to jail for life," I answered, looking at me coffee, while stirring it.

"Did she get to you and Goren somehow?"

"She knew everything about us, about our lives I don't know she did it, but she did. She's never getting out of jail," I explained to her. "Hopefully," I added, quietly, glancing towards Goren. He seemed occupied with a pile of paperwork in front of him. I smiled at him.

"You love him don't you?"

"Sure do," I replied, still staring at him.

"So how's baby Zach going?"

"Yeah, he's doing great, he can almost walk!"

"That's great, is he at childcare still or is someone babysitting?"

"Both," Kelly grinned at me. I saw my nephew three times a week. Even though I felt good doing something for my sister, I still felt attached to Zach. It felt like he was my son, my little bundle of joy, but unfortunately he wasn't. He will only know me as his Aunt Alex not mommy. I always knew being a surrogate will be different than being a real mother. Oh well, maybe I will be a mother someday with the right man, not hinting anything!

Anyway Kelly left half an hour later because David was home for dinner. I sat down at my desk and glanced across at Goren. He seemed in his own little world, although most of time he usually is. A pile of paperwork was sitting on the side of my desk that I wasn't planning to do for the next two hours but I had nothing else to do. An hour past and it seemed like paperwork just kept getting bigger rather than smaller.

When I started to answer a stupid question that was facing in front me but Captain Deakins came over, breaking away our concentration from paperwork. He had a look of horror and disgust on his face. He had a tape in his hands, just a normal videotape.

"Alex, Goren I think you would want to see this," he said, handing Goren the tape. I followed Goren and Deakins into the interview room and put on the tape.

The picture was blank at first, then a familiar face came on the screen that made me throat dry.

It was Nicole Wallace. One an only bitch of the year. Teasing and manipulating Goren like a fish that wanted to be fed. She seemed to get power over people by knowing what hurt them the most, who they cared about and secrets about them that no one else knew. Her voice was like I heard it yesterday. Her voice seemed to capture Goren eyes by a second.

"Clap, clap for getting Sutton at St. Mark's hospital and bringing him in, almost getting killed by your own gun isn't that a warning for you, Alex? To keep away from Goren or anyone else that loves you? I thought you would have at least gone upstate to your daddy's house, good on him for double dipping; tell him he should get a medal from me,"
she smiled at the camera.

I started to wonder how in the hell she knew where the right camera was to look at. My skin crawled and I felt like screaming or smashing the TV but I managed to stay still listening to the sly voice of one the disgusting criminals in history.

"Now, Goren you have a very little sidekick with you all the time? Ever wonder what she's thinking when you're sleeping next to her? God, that's right you leave in the morning every time you sleep over her place because you two have to keep it a secret?" she smirked, "Oops, did that just slip?" she giggled.

"Don't worry it's not over yet there's worse to come for you both," she laughed until the sudden picture fuzzed.

I just stared at the screen not wanting to catch Deakins eyes. I could feel the tension rising already; I could Bobby getting uneasy because he started tapping his hands. I slapped his hands to stop, I don't know why in the hell I did but it was already pissing me off. I tried to look innocent at first then I gave up.

Still Deakins didn't say anything; I wish he would so I could stop thinking about what I was going to do with Nicole. Kill her would be good but I will get sent to the same jail, probably then I would be in deep shit with all her criminal friends. Deakins cleared his throat loudly, I had feeling he was trying not to make a fuss over from what he just heard.

"I'm putting you both in a safe house, in New Jersey," he told us firmly.

"But-" I started.

"Don't argue I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear anything," he cut me off harshly and walked out of the interview room. I glanced at Bobby in concern.

"He's right," Bobby murmured, taking my hand gently.

"That means she wins if we go," I stammered, angrily. "I don't want her to win, Bobby, she screwed with your mind, now she's screwing with my mind, I ain't gonna let her win," I told him firmly.

"I promise she's not gonna go near you if I'm around," he promised.

"That's what you said last time," I blurted, regretting it immediately as it came tumbling out of my mouth. A glint of hurt washed in his eyes has his head turned away from me.

"I'm sorry, Bobby," I whispered and hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek. He looked at me and smiled.

"This time I will be," he whispered in my ear. I knew he was keeping the promise until all of this was over.
