Chapter Two


"Gimme that." Eric said simply nodding to the yellow pad in Davis' hand. When Ty hesitated, he shouted. "Come over here and give it to me!"

Ty eased over holding his hand right hand as he made small steps over to him. With his left he eased it back with every step getting it closer and closer to his holster. "Okay, okay. I'm giving it to you." His fingers were mere millimeters away from his weapon when he saw Eric's hand shoot up grabbing him around the neck turning him around so his back was to him.

"You think I'm that stupid, pig?" He said looking at Sully who had pulled out his own weapon during the brief struggle. "Toss your weapon and your belt over behind me in the kitchen doorway."

"No." Sully said seeing Ty's eyes on him the entire time. "You toss your weapon over here and let him go. No good is going to come outta this if you don't let him go."

"I can't do that now, can I?" He growled placing his gun on Ty's temple still shaking.

Sully saw his partner's eyes widen as he glanced to the side seeing the end of the gun in his vision before back at Sully. Sully kept still and didn't move a muscle as he spoke. "You don't want to do that Eric. You don't want to shoot him. What good is it going to do but get you into trouble?"

"You know our plans! It's too late. No one was supposed to be here." Eric said tightening his grip. "If you leave, you'll tell everyone and you can't do that. Everything's gonna be ruined."

'Our plans?' Sully thought not sure if there was someone else in the house. "I won't tell anyone about your plans. Neither will Officer Davis there, will you?" Sully asked.

"Unh-uh." Ty forced feeling the hand tighten.

"You're both liars. Toss your stuff over now, do it!" Eric said before lowering his voice. "Or I'll kill him and whoever else I can before 'they' shoot me. Toss 'em over."

Ty felt the grip around her neck strengthen even more. Eric's fingers were digging painfully in his throat starting to close off his air. He would have said something but this man was ready to shoot anyone in the room. His eyes met Sully's who was looking at him apologetically as he slowly undid his weapon belt. So many thoughts and questions were racing through his mind telling him not to take off his belt but he knew he wouldn't let Eric touch his partner. He couldn't risk seeing Ty get hurt and possibly watching another partner die.

'No.' Ty mouthed seeing him slide the gun over to the doorway before he did the same with his belt.

"Okay Eric, I took off my weapons. Now let Ty go." Sully said making sure to use his his name. There was a better chance Eric might see Davis as a real human being with feelings instead of just a cop.

"Okay, you too."

Ty realized he was talking to him as he reluctantly did the same tossing his only weapons, his only sure fire defense, to the side in sorrow.

"Okay we gave you our weapons, what do you want?" Sully asked keeping an eye on Ty who's face was starting to turn an unpleasant shade of red.

"Sit down over there against that wall." Eric motioned with his gun pushing Ty forward to Sully who caught him before he could fall.

Davis wanted to say something but he was overtaken by a fit of coughs. What did the handbook say about this? Sully gently tugged his sleeve pulling him to where Eric wanted them to go. Ty looked at Sully ready to pull away but Sully's eyes told him a different story; 'Stick together and don't try nothing stupid.' One that told him to follow suit. Ty saw Eric wasn't looking directly at them as he was going through their gun belts and looked down to Sully's ankle with his eyes before looking back up silently asking if he had a back up weapon. Sully shook his head to the silent question. Unlike Bosco, he didn't feel the need to carry two guns all the time. One had been enough for the past twenty years. Had been.

Eric kept his gun on them as he looked through their stuff looking for the right tools. 'Can't let them leave.' The voice said as Eric's hands grabbed the two silver bracelets. "I know. I definitely know."

Sully looked at Davis who shrugged not knowing who the hell Eric was talking to as they watched. Eric turned around tossing the two pairs of cuffs at them. "Officers, you're gonna put those on. One of you is gonna be cuffed to that radiator and use the other pair to cuff each other together. Do it." He emphasized his point by raising his gun to eye level.

'Damn it.' Ty thought seeing they had no choice. He'd only been on the job for one year. His mind went blank when he thought about how to deal with mentally unstable people. 'Carefully. Very carefully.' He cuffed himself to Sully's right wrist before looking at Eric again. "Why are you doing this? We didn't do anything to you."

"It's called punishment." Eric sneered seeing the quiet shock on his face. "You don't know me but I know you. I know why they sent you here."

"You don't want to do this." Sully said looking at the handcuffs that were in front of him. "We can still walk out of here Eric."

"Don't make me cuff you myself, Officer Sullivan." He said watching the older cop cuff himself to the cold metal radiator. "'They're' jealous of my success so they joined your side. You're with them." He scoffed looking at Davis. "I know all of you."

"What do you mean?" Sully asked. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes at Ty who seemed to be stuck looking between the gun and the front door. He wasn't going to be much help but Sully wasn't even sure about himself. "We've never met you before today."

'He's asking too many questions.' A voice said. 'He's going to sabotage everything we've been working on.' Eric nodded knowing he was right.

"How?" Sully asked getting a shaking gun get turned on the both of them. Sully swore his heart froze and he felt Ty stiffen beside him seeing where the weapon was trained.

"It's not hard. They tell me who's trying to get me. You're asking too many questions. They don't like you so I can't let you leave. I just can't." Eric said swiveling his arm to aim and pulled the trigger.


What happened? Only I know until I post chapter three. Please review and tell me what you think. I had to leave you with a cliff hanger:)
