Chapter 7

(Thanks to kp1185 for her suggestions)

Later that evening, everyone met at the beach house for some lasagna and to wrap up the case. Fortunately, nothing had burned while Sal was playing amateur stunt woman. She remembered the stove was on just in time, and had run back into the house to turn it off. Then she went back out to talk to the police. She had also filled the Angels in on everything. The grease and the glass had been cleaned up. Now everyone was ready to sit down to a delicious lasagna dinner.

Jill took a bite. "Sal, this is great! How did you ever learn to cook like this?"

"Grandma taught me."

"Well, she did an excellent job," Bosley commented.

The phone rang. Kris had set up the speaker in the kitchen. "Hello, Charlie."

"Excellent work, Angels. Sal, your attacker is now behind bars. His name is Frank Murphy. He's responsible for the rapes on the beach. His DNA matched the DNA found on the victims. His fingerprints also matched the ones on the photographs, so he now has a stalking charge."

"I am glad he's put away, " Sal remarked. "I really hated having to look over my shoulder all the time."

"I'm glad to have my little sister back," Kris put an arm around Sal. Jill nodded. She was busy chewing.

"Angels, we also did a sweep of the nightclub. Frank had been in there quite often, and followed women who left alone. That was where he found most of his victims. It also turns out the security was pretty lax in that nightclub. The police found several underage teenagers in there." Sal innocently looked up at the ceiling and started to whistle. She got an elbow in the ribs from Kris. "The nightclub was shut down."

"Darn," Kris interjected. "I was hoping to pick up my singing career again."

"Maybe another time, Angel."

"How did you get in the nightclub, Sal?" Sabrina asked.

"I slipped the bouncer a $20. It was easy."

"Don't you ever do that again," Jill told her.

"I won't."

"Kris, I understand your car was instrumental in catching Frank Murphy."

"Yeah, Charlie, about that........"

Sal tried to slip from the room. Kris grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her back. "I think Sal has some explaining to do."

"I hear you were quite the driver today, Sal."

"Yeah, I was. I only did it because I wanted to get that creep caught."

"Don't do it again."

"I won't, Charlie."

"Sal will be happy to help pay for the damages, Charlie." Kris spoke up as Sal shot her a dirty look.

"It's not necessary, Angel. The car was damaged in the line of duty. I'll take care of it, as well as damages to the refreshment stand, the lifeguard station, and the pier."

"Thanks, Charlie, but I think Sal should be held responsible."

"Angel, she helped put a dangerous man behind bars. That's compensation enough."

Bosley groaned as Sal stuck her tongue out at Kris. "So there!" she whispered.

Jill, Kelly, and Sabrina stifled a laugh. Kris glared at them.

"Sal, we're all very proud of you. Good work!" Charlie told her.

"Thanks, Charlie."

Charlie hung up.

"And we're all glad your safe," Bosley raised his glass in a toast. "Here's to Sal's courage and the successful end of another case."

"Here, Here!" The Angels and Sal agreed as they clinked their glasses together.

The end.


I know you're reading! Please review! Thanks for your help, suggestions, and reviews! I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. I'm taking suggestions for the next Sal story. A flashback episode was suggested to me. One about the Munroe sisters growing up. I have a few ideas starting with the birth of Sal and leading up to the deaths of the parents. I will figure in the dad's alcoholism and how he had a hard time holding a job because of it. Any trivia tidbits and mentions of Jill and Kris' past would be appreciated. Thanks!
