A/N : A big big thanks to everyone who reviewed! You made my day ! Oh, and a little bit more info : Michael had, while taking the roster apart, taken a nail out of the thing and held it behind his back, using it to cut open Theo & Brad's arms when they attacked him. I'm sorry, that wasn't very clear in the previous chapter. Anyway, here's what happens next...
I love you all for reading this and (hint hint) I'll love you even more if you review! (there, that was subtle, eh?)
This chapter is dedicated to Me123me, for her awesome stories (AND power lines )

Sara + Michael
What happened next could've been plucked straight out of the Lion King. There's this scene where all the hyena's sneak up on their prey, while the prey is looking skittish and all… That's what this looked like. Theo reminded Sara of Ed, the hyena with the crazy laugh and slobbering mouth who was a bit psycho – and psycho wasn't good.
Apparently, 'let's tango' was the common expression used for : "Let's get the doctor all worked up while her savior screams helplessly". Kwame gripped Michael's shoulder and threw him to the other side of the room where Brad and Theo were waiting for him, as he neared Sara and stroked her face. He lowered his mouth to her ear and started to breathe raggedly on her earlobe.
"You know you want it, girl."
Sara threw her head forward so it collided with his and kicked him in the groin where it hurt the most. She stared as he flew backwards, then offered him a small smile. "You're right. I had been wanting to do that for ages, now." Her eyes met with Michael's as he was being attacked by the other two, but he was putting up a brave fight. Sara's hands, still tied behind her back, were working on the rope that bound her, with the small nail Michael had placed into her hands before he'd assumed his position before her. It wouldn't be long before she was free of her chains. Kwame let out a roar before launching himself towards her again, but Michael jumped at his back, forcing him flat onto the ground and holding a shard of broken glass to his face, he continued with an ice-cold voice : "Here's what's going to happen, Kwame…"
He paused for good measure and looked on proudly when Sara jumped up from the chair and ran over to the other two men, tying them up with the rope that had only a few seconds ago, bound her to the pipes. "…you and your buddies are going to be taken out of this room and put away in the SHU for the rest of your time here. If you have medical issues, your wounds are going to rot away, because if you ever go near my girl again, I'm going to make you wish I had just murdered you right here, right now. Are we clear?"
Kwame let out a low groan at the sound of feet running towards the infirmary with a steady beat of thuds. Sara had motioned out the window that it was okay to send in the forces at bay, and now that they were here, the end of the daily drama was nearing. It was time for Michael's last words on the matter. "You're despicable."
Sara softly smiled at him. "That's what I said, too."

Sara
It was all so reminiscent of the previous time there'd been a riot at Fox River. Once again, she was being led outside and a blanket was being thrown over her shoulders. Her father was there, too… But this time, he only hugged her and told her he was happy she was safe and then his eyes followed the curve her hand was making, holding Michael's in her own, and he held out his hand for Michael to shake.
"I owe you a lot, Mr. Scofield."
The importance of this moment dawned on the three of them. For sure, Michael wouldn't be seen as an ex-con by the eyes of her father any longer, but as the man who had saved his daughter from a certain death.
"It's not a problem, sir."
The governor nodded at him and after throwing a final glance Sara's way, he walked off to talk to the new warden. Sara brought Michael's hands to her lips and softly kissed his knuckles. " We have so much to talk about."
He nodded. "But let's just…be now, okay? Let me just hold you.." He spun her around so that her face was lying on his shoulder and their hands fell apart so they could rest on every inch of the other's body, "like this…and tell you that we're okay."
She smiled against him. "We're okay. You saved me again."
He pressed a small kiss to her hair. "You did the same to me."

Lincoln
He hadn't taken his eyes off of the screen ever since his brother had stormed off to save his girl. Any minute, he was expecting the news anchor to sadly report the death count at Fox River and how sad she thought it was that so many young people had been taken on this grayish day. But it never came…
What did come, was a knock on his door…he jumped at the sound of it and raced over to where…Henry Pope was standing. "Sir?" he'd asked amazedly, and the older man had just shrugged. "I don't want to be alone in the waiting." He'd plopped down onto the sofa and told the tale of how his wife was staying at her sister's for a few days, because she was caring for her sister's sick husband. Because Mrs. Pope had been a nurse before she retired and she knew how to treat him and…
Lincoln just didn't care. Up until the moment Henry started to talk about how Michael had shown up on his doorstep, much like he himself had done to Lincoln, and begged for Henry to help him save Sara. Now his brother was inside those prison walls – again – risking his life. Lincoln wondered when there'd be a day that the pair of them would be completely Fox River-free. He supposed it would never arrive. It had been a great part of there lives, even for the short amount of time they'd spent there. For sure, Michael would never have met Sara if it weren't for all this and if they were to be married... If Sara would forgive the both of them… He sighed. All of those 'if's were driving him crazy.
"Great news from the sights of Fox River State Penitentiary," The voice shook him out of his reverie and even Henry shut up. "Thanks to former inmate and now national celebrity Michael Scofield, the chaos has come to an end before any lives were taken. Michael Scofield had been lured to this place by the capture and hostage of Doctor Sara Tancredi, who has been reported to be Scofield's fiancée." Lincoln raised his eyebrows. Hm. "The man once again crawled his way into the state prison and reached the crime scene before it was too late. The three problem-stirrers were handed over to the National Guard and will be severely punished. Let this be a reminder to all the Fox River inmates who are incarcerated here : the facility has a new guardian angel now."
The camera swooped over the scene and stopped at the sight of two people embracing, standing still in the midst of all the chaos. They looked perfect together, and the two men behind the television set couldn't help but smile.
Okay, that was if for today, kittens... Please please please tell me what you think! I promise you the next chapter'll be long and will involve MAJOR talking...but first tell me what you thought of this one? I know I'm not that great at writing 'action', but I tried...
