`Till Death Do Us Part
*Note: This takes place right after November 24's eppy. Right after Sheridan moved her finger.
Theresa and Ethan stood talking in the chuch when Ethan heard Theresa say that if he told Luis that Theresa and him were in love now, he would not accept it Luis would send her away. "Theresa, do you really think that your brother would send you away?"
"Yes. Now that Sheridan is gone," Theresa lowered her voice in honer of the dead, "he feels that I should have nothing to do with the Cranes." Theresa looked up in Ethan's eyes and said, "Ethan, I just want you to know that you don't see Luis at home. He was so destraut."
"Don't blame me for this Theresa but I really can't see-" Ethan started before Theresa interuppted.
"No Ethan, listen to this. Maybe when I tell you this you will se how much Luis really cared about Sheridan." Theresa said before she took a deep breathe, "Mama could see Luis's hurt so she suggested he take a shower and go to bed, but Luis that he couldn't take a shower because he could still smell Sheridan's perfume on his clothes."
Ethan nodded his head before he said, "I know what he means."
"And that's just the begining. He took a walk after that he he didn't come home until the morning. Mama was worried sick. Luis hasn't slept since Sheridan died. Please, for the good of everyone, just wait a day or two." Theresa asked Ethan. "It it's any help, Luis was in love with Sheridan. He would of given his life for her. He has put his life on the line several times already. And I think that that's amazing because Sheridan is a Crane."
"I believe you Theresa. But I still put the blame-" Ethan started before Ethan interuppted once again.
"Do me a favor, and do yourself a favor. Don't cause trouble of Sam and Luis now. Now Sam. at least, will be trying to get the Drug Cartle. Don't forget Ethan who pulled the trigger. SOmeone hired by the Drug Cartle is the responisalbe one. Let them catch them first." Theresa comprimised.
Ethan thought for a moment, "Oh my gosh Theresa, I think that you're right. I've almost forgotten that they're the ones to blame too. I should really see if there is anything I can do to catch them."
Theresa smiled and said, "There you go! So will you please just wait a day or two to tell Luis?"
"Okay! You know I can never say no to you!" Ethan said smiling.
Just then they heard footsteps. It was Luis rounding the corner. Theresa quickly ran up to the doorway to meet Luis and Ethan went to the wall so that Luis would not see him. "Okay Theresa, you go ahead and wait outside. I'm going say one last goodbye to Sheridan..." Luis said looking more than a little upset.
"Okay Luis." Theresa said. Theresa hoped that Ethan and Luis would not fight or anything.
"Hello Luis." Ethan said after Theresa left.
"I know what you are going to say Ethan and I am not-" Luis started.
"No Luis. You deserve to say goodbye. I know that Sheridan did care for you. And I do apolagize, I know that we are all on edge about this whole thing." Ethan said. He knew that he really should try and be kinder toward Luis for more hope of Luis accepted him and Theresa.
Luis looking surprised more or less. "Uh...that's okay. I suppose I'm sorry too...yeah." Luis said. "Now, if you don't mind I would like to say goodbye to Sheridan."
"Yeah, okay. Take care Luis." Ethan said as he left.
Luis made a funny face to himself as he walked toward the coffin. He said to himself, "What's up with him?" Then he walked over to Sheridan's coffin sadly.
Luis said to her and himself, "I can't believe it took me so long to relize how much I needed her...."
****
Agent Freeman made his was toward the Church. He was becoming more and more
worried that Sheridan would be waking up. He knew that the tranqulizer would be wearing off soon. He had to get to the church so that he could get into the hearse so he could get Sheridan out before they buired the coffin. Eve had said that she gave Sheridan another shot of tranqulizer to tide her over. When Agent Freeman asked he when on earth she had time to do that she said that she had some sphare mintutes when she faked the autoposy.
Agent Freeman hoped that all this trouble and unneeded pain was worth it. They all knew coming into this that there was a chance that they still would not catch the drug cartle. But Sheridan still agreed that it would be worth is if she could finally be free.
Finally Agent Freeman arrived at the church. He saw that the hearse was ready outside. As he went in the church he saw Luis at the casket. Agent Freeman was immediately worried about Sheridan waking up and someone noticing. No doubt that Sheridan would be more than alittle fuzzy about where she was or what exactly happened.
"Luis." Agent Freeman said.
"Agent Freeman." Luis said.
"They're ready to take her to the gravesite. Lets go outside Luis." Agent Freeman said.
"Okay, I've said my goodbyes. I just cannot believe she is really gone..." Luis answered.
Agent Freeman really didn't like keeping Sheridan's family and Luis in so much pain from a death that really didn't happen. "It'll be okay Luis, things will get better." He ment that honestly. For the sake of Luis he would try and see if he could get him alone for a moment to tell him that Sheridan is alive and explain the whole setup to him. He knew that he would be taking a risk by telling him but he thought that it would be worth it if Luis didn't have to endure the pain. With any luck they would catch the killers within the day.
Luis left quietly. Silently. The men closed the coffin and put it in the hearse.
Agent Freeman hung low and nodded at the driver before he stepped in. Agent Freeman quickly opened the coffin and shook Sheridan. Sheridan slowly came to and she said, "Where am I?" Agent Freeman answered her question and tried explain that everything came through as planned so far.
Sheridan then said, "Where is Luis? Does he know?" Sheridan was almost wide awake now. She had stepped out of the coffin and sat next to Agent Freeman.
"No, he doesn't know yet but I am going to try-" Agent started before Sheridan interuppted.
"He doesn't know yet? What do you mean he doesn't know yet?! So he thinks that I'm dead. He is doing alright though isn't he?" Sheridan asked with much concern.
"Well, I can't say he is doing very well. He has not slept since you 'died'. He'll be okay once he finds out the setup."
"Okay, when will you tell him?" Sheridan asked. "Do you think you can arrange for me to see him?"
"We might be able to arrange something. For now though, you will stay in the apartment above the police station. Sam says that he can get food up to you. With any luck we'll catch the idiots and you'll get your life back." Agnet Freeman said.
"Yes, I hope so." Sheridan said. She really couldn't wait to see Luis's face when she tells him that she is alive and kisses him. It would be so wonderful. She just hoped that it would come soon.
They pulled up the police station. They went around the back so they could get her in unnoticed. Everythin went smoothly. Sheridan told Agent Freeman to get Luis down here ofter the burial. Agent Freeman said that her would do everything he could.
Sheridan went up to her room and made herself comfy.
****
Sheridan paced back and forth. She hoped that Agent Freeman managed to get Luis alone to explain everything to him. It was then that she got a knock at the door. She took a deep breathe and opened the door.
It was Agent Freeman.
"Any news? Did you tell him?" Sheridan asked quickly.
Agent Freeman made a face as he said, "Sorry, there were to many people around so I couldn't get him alone. Don't worry, I'll let him know tomorrow. I really got t go now though."
"Okay." Sheridan said as he left. The wheels were turning in her head as she shut the door.
"There is no way I can sleep tonight knowing that Luis thinks I'm dead." Sheridan thought out loud, "I've got to get to him, and I will."
****
The afternoon passed slowly for Luis. He just wandered the dock. He really could not think. He returned home and ate supper. His only meal he remembered to have the whole day. Mama was not to come back from the Crane masion until late tonight. The Cranes had some benifit to go to and the house had to be perfect. Luis was just glad that she was doing it for extra money. Theresa was with Whitney. So Luis had the house to himself.
He knew he had not slept in 36 hours, but he was not tired. All he could think about was the fact that Sheridan was gone. Gone.
Then, in the middle of the night, Luis heard a knock at the door. He had no idea who it could be. He really didn't care, it's not like he was asleep or anything. He was just lying on the coach staring at the ceiling wide awake.
So he got up to answer the door.
As he opened the door he was amazed to find Sheridan in the doorway. "Wha...how..." he said at first stunned, "Oh I see, I fell asleep didn't I? And this is all a dream..." Luis said to himself and Sheridan.
Sheridan smiled and said, "No Luis, this isn't a dream, I'm real. I'm here."
Luis looked at her for a moment and shook his head and rubbed his eyes, "Is...are you...are you alive?"
Sheridan smiled and said, "Yes, it was all a setup. Everything. Agent Freeman woke me up in the hearse. I'm alive. We pulled all this to catch the drug cartle. I'm not supposed to be here so you must let me in before anyone sees me."
Luis backed away from the door and let her in. Then he shut the door, turned to her and said, "So this isn't a dream? You're really here?"
Sheridan smiled even brighter and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, a long, passionate kiss. Sheridan broke away and said, "Now do you believe me?"
Luis smiled and hugged her close. "It is you!" They kissed again and Luis was happier than he ever was.
They both sat down on the coach and Sheridan explained everything. They knew everything would be okay in time.
But for now, they were together. They would catch the drug cartle and Sheidan would be free.
Luis and Sheridan would be together forever, `till death do us part.

Luis made a funny face to himself as he walked toward the coffin. He said to himself, "What's up with him?" Then he walked over to Sheridan's coffin sadly.
