Chapter 1

Her scream shattered the silence around her. The terror in her voice was
unmistakable and it brought an icy and dreadful feeling to everyone around it.

Several men ran up the old stairs of the coffee shop only to find a distraught Maxie. Her eyes were filled with tears, while her entire body shook with shock and fear. Jason, and Logan stood frozen and just shocked as Maxie.

"You have to cut him down! Please, cut him down!" Maxie began to sob uncontrollably.

Jason ran over to Maxie and tried to explain to her that Coop couldn't be moved until the police got there.

Logan just stood frozen unable to think or move. How could his best friend have killed himself? After everything that he had made it through? After everything they had made it through together? Cooper had been through so much and it was just starting to look better for him and now this? Logan didn't have any answers for his questions and he immediately felt the anger begin to boil inside of him.
How could Cooper do this to him? To Maxie? Cooper was the only family Logan new and Maxie needed Cooper more than ever right now! How could he be that selfish? Logan was brought back to reality by Maxie's cries. She was becoming hysterical. Without even thinking he ran over to her and puller her into his arms. She collapsed to the floor but Logan kneeled with her and held onto her tighter. She fell against him, sobbing and shaking.

"Logan, he can't be dead! He wouldn't do this, you know he wouldn't!" She pleaded for him to agree but all Logan could do was hold her tighter. He didn't dare answer for he knew if he did, he wouldn't be able to control his own sobs and tears.

"I know I know." were the only words that he could get out. His frame should tall and stiff. He needed to be strong for Maxie. Cooper would want that.

She began to get more upset by the second. She got up and tried to run into the room. Logan puller her back into his arms.

"Let go of me!" Maxie screamed. "I have to get to him, he needs me, he needs me." The tears were now surging down her face.

She began to hit Logan. She pounded her fits into his chest. "I can save him, let go, I need to get to him." Maxie kept hitting him. harder and harder. Logan just let her, until finally he grabber he arms and looked her right in the eye.

"Maxie, Maxie, look at me! Copper is gone, ok. There's nothing we can do. I'm sorry, so sorry but he's gone."

"No" Is all Maxie could say before collapsing against him. Logan just held her in his arms and let her cry.

The police arrived and surveyed the room and began to work. Mac and Lucky were among to rest of the task force. Mac ran over to Maxie and she got up and cried into his arms. Mac held his daughter tight, and told her it would be ok.

"No, it won't dad. Nothing will ever be ok again!" Maxie said in between the sobs.

Just then another Officer called for Mac, "Commissioner, we have something, you better come see."

"Can't you see I'm busy right now?"

"Trust me, you're gonna wanna see this."

Reluctantly Mac left Maxie with Logan, before leaving he said to Logan, "Take her downstairs she doesn't need to see the rest of this."

Logan nodded, and gently began to pull Maxie away from the door.

"No, I can't go. Coop needs us. We can't leave him." She stood her ground as best she could but her body was still unsteady.

"Maxie, Coop wouldn't want you to see this." He said as gently as he could.

"Come on, lets go downstairs, please Maxie please." Logan put his arms around Maxie and began to help her walk away.

Maxie resisted but she was soo exhausted she finally gave in. She let Logan take her downstairs.
