"Gillian. Look at you." Cal whispered as she pulled her jacket off. He touched her arms and she flinched back.
"I'm fine." She said, pulling the jacket back on. She had forgotten about that.
"Matt did that. Didn't he?" Cal asked, staring at the bruises until Gillian covered them back up. "When?"
"Cal I am fine. They are just bruises. Seriously. How's you knee?" She asked, looking at his leg.
"The surgery went perfectly and I am perfectly fine." Cal said, stepping closer to her, "When did he do that?" He knew it wasn't when she had sex with him. That was a week ago and he would have noticed. This was more recent.
"You need to stop worrying about me."
"When did it happen?" He asked with a frown.
"Last night." She said, looking at the ground.
"He was at your house last night?" Cal yelled. "What'd he say?" Cal hissed.
She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away, "He just told me that you were in trouble and that I had to do it with him again, but I told him no and he got violent." Cal clenched his jaw and shook his head, "They are just bruises."
"He knows where you live Gill! He won't stop." Cal turned around and walked to his office.
"No. Cal, stop!"
"You don't even know what I'm doing." Cal said with a shrug as he swung open his office door.
"One bad decision will only lead to more." She said following him into his office. "Cal."
He went into his safe and pulled out his gun. "You should stay here."
"Cal don't you dare kill him." She said, following him out.
"Why not? It's only 15 years in prison. I can handle that." He said with a shrug.
"You are NOT serious." She said, following him to the front door.
"If you come then I can say that I was defending you. That he had a gun to your head. Then it's only ten years. But if it's self defense then I should be fine." He slipped the gun into the back of his jeans and walked out the door.
.:.
He held the gun in his hands with it pointed right between Matt's eyes. "What did you do to Gillian?" Cal yelled out.
"Cal stop." Gillian said from behind the wall behind Cal.
"So you did come? Well get up there so I can be charged with self defense."
"What are you talking about?" Matt asked with his hands in the air.
"Killing you, you bastard!" Cal yelled out. "Don't try to talk me out of it because it isn't going to happen!"
"Cal. Don't do this." She said, walking out and placing her hands on his shoulders.
He shrugged her off and said, "If you try to take this gun away then I will shoot." He looked at her quickly and then looked back to Matt, "What did you do to her?"
"Nothing! I had sex with her to save your ass but that is all!" Matt yelled back.
Cal shook his head, "What about the bruises?"
"What bruises?" Matt asked.
Gillian took off her jacket and Matt let his head fall, "Shit..."
"Yeah. Shit is right. I'm gonna kill you. You think that you can just USE her with my life in return? Hell no! You gave her those bruises and are trying to force her into having sex with you again!"
Matt smiled and said, "Well it's over now. Go ahead. If you end my life... you'll ruin yours."
Cal cocked the gun and Gillian screamed, "NO! Cal don't!"
"If I don't kill him he will find you!" Cal yelled at her.
"Stop!" She said, pulling him back.
The gun fired and Matt fell to the ground.
"Cal!" She yelled at him, "You are going to prison and you are going to loose custody of Emily AND The Lightman Group! Why the hell would you do that?"
Matt moaned and they both turned to look at him. "He isn't dead." Cal said, walking over to him.
"Cal stop! If you leave him now then it will only be attempted murder.
"Too bad I want him dead then, hey?"Cal asked, cocking the gun again.
Gillian punched his arms and pushed him up against the wall, "Do not do this." She hissed in his face, "I am already going to loose you for five years. Don't make it more."
He stared into her eyes and breathed heavily for a couple seconds. "Five?"
"Attempted murder. Let it go Cal. He will get caught because he has been shot. You will both go to jail which keeps me safe. Killing him will only put you away for longer." She said, starting to pull away from him.
He stared ather and nodded, "Fine." He handed her the gun and walked out.
.:.
"Are you an idiot?" Ben yelled, walking into the office.
Cal stood at the door with his arms crossed over his chest, "Maybe. Sometimes. Who's asking?"
"The FBI. Because you go to court tomorrow for attempted murder! What's that all about?" Ben asked, fuming.
Cal nodded, "Oh. That."
"Yeah. That." Ben hissed.
"It was Matt. I had to. He wanted to take advantage of Gillian again." Cal shrugged and began to walk away.
"No!"
"No?" Cal asked.
"It isn't that easy. You are going to go to jail for five years!"
"How long is Matt going?" Cal asked, stepping towards Ben.
"15 years."
"Why?"
"Attempted murder and torture and rape."
"I'm the attempted murder and torture?" Ben nodded, "I wouldn't call it torture."
"We want him gone for as long as possible." Ben said.
"And Gill is rape? THAT'S what they are calling it? Even though she did it voluntarily?" Ben nodded again, "Well alright. How did you get him?"
"Who?"
"Matt. How did ya catch 'im?" Cal asked with a smile.
"He's been on the run since he was with you all. We found him shot down in a warehouse..." Ben's voice trailed off and he looked at the ground.
Cal's smile grew and he said, "What did you just discover Benny?"
"You shot him..." Ben said, rubbing his neck, "And so we were able to get him. That's just great."
"So I'm going for five and he is going for 15. I'll take it." Cal said with a smile. He turned around, but Ben grabbed his arm.
"This isn't a game Lightman."
"No it isn't. But it just so happens, that it ended Matt's." Cal said seriously.
