A/N- In memoriam Detective Jessica Angell, lived with her heart full of love. Poor Flack he's never gonna be the same.
Chapter 2 – Closer to the Truth
Stella and Danny arrived at the scene to see Jason and Penny sitting in the back of an Ambulance while a paramedic bandaged her arm to stem to blood flow while another placed a fluffy blanket around her near naked form.
Stella: 'PENNY? Penny! Oh thank god!'
Stella ran to the ambulance with Danny a little behind, just as Mac, Lindsay and Hawkes got out of their truck. All three looked at each other as they saw Stella pull they girl in the ambulance into her arms. She then stepped back and pulled out her phone while the girl cried into Danny's chest. Once Stella had finished the call she hugged the boy and said something to him. Suddenly Dt. Angell ran over and pulled the boy into her arms. Finally Mac, Lindsay and Hawkes decided to find out what was going on.
Mac: 'Stel you gonna tell us what's going on?'
Stella: 'Guys this is my daughter Penelope, Penny this is Mac Taylor, Lindsay Monroe and Sheldon Hawkes.'
Penny: 'Hi, Danny it's hurts. And I'm really cold.'
Danny: 'Its okay baby, they'll take you to the hospital in a minute. Jess just needs to ask you and Jase some questions.'
Angell: 'Honey, what happened?'
Jason: 'Mom stop fussing I'm fine. It's on tape anyway, Cole makes us tape them coz there's no adult with us. But 3 guys walked in with .45's, they were wearing ski-masks. But the second guy knew us, well he knew Penny. First guy reeled him coz Penny wasn't meant to be there. Anyway one of them shot Owen in the leg coz he was throwing around Penny's shirt.'
Penny: 'I shot the first guy, the other two noticed. Ryan tackled the third guy so he executed him. So I shot that guy in the chest and leg. But not before he shot me in the arm, broke the bone. Weirdly same place as last time.'
Mac: 'Where'd you get a gun?'
Penny: 'Sinclair. Jase left his bag by the door so he couldn't get his.'
EMT: 'We need to transport her now. Do you have all you need Detective?'
Angell: 'Yes thanks. Look after her. Where are you taking her?'
EMT: 'Queen of Mercy'
Jason: 'I'm going with her. You're going to be alright baby! Dan you coming?'
Danny: 'Yeah! Stel I'll call when it's done. Just don't go inside, Jess you either. I'll see you both at the hospital. Mac look after them!'
When the ambulance had disappeared from sight Angell broke the silence.
Angell: 'Stel she'll be fine she's a Messer.'
Stella: 'Yeah. If only Louie could see her now.'
Mac: 'You can explain at the hospital, for now we have a scene to process.'
Angell: 'Ben and Owen have already been transported to Queen of Mercy. Ben got shot in the leg; Owen got the butt of a gun in his throat and shot in the shoulder.'
Lindsay: 'How come Penelope was only in her underwear?'
Angell: 'She always changes after school; Jason said it was 'coz she couldn't play in her uniform. So she changed into jeans and a skinny top most of the time.'
Stella: 'I'm gonna take the perimeter. I don't think I could stand to see Ryan like that.'
Hawkes: 'Did they know you were a cop?'
Stella: 'Yeah. Penny and Jase got used in an undercover op last year. Some drug smuggler. Headmistress Cole informed the other students that they're parents, me and Jess were away on police business so they had gone to a safe location and were NOT to be contacted.'
Angell: 'and then Danny calls Penny like an idiot. Nearly got them both killed, good job Penny knows how to act. So Sinclair made them a drop, giving them both service weapons.'
Lindsay: 'I'll stay out here with Stella; we need to head to the hospital in a while.'
Hawkes: 'Surgery should take 4 hours so Stel you need to get her some things and be there when she wakes in recovery.'
