Chapter 9

Sorry about the delay in getting this chapter done guys. I have been having a severe case of writers block. Reviews are always appreciated!

Both Amanda and Nick's captain and colleagues had been working hard to work through the list of possible people with a grudge and it wasn't an easy task the amount of times they had both been undercover. They were also checking surveillance videos in around both Amanda's and Nick's apartment. They were checking the list of names against where these people were on the day that Nick and Amanda were shot.

Nick and Amanda's Captains were at Brooklyn Narcotics. They popped their heads out of the captain's office. "Has anyone made any progress?" Asked Captain Roberts.

"We're still trying to narrow down the list. But I've got Morrow and Sevet working on placing the ones we have narrowed down. Where they are now and where they were when Rollins and Amaro were shot."

"Alright, good keep us both updated. "Oh and issue an alert to all surrounding police departments about Amaro and Rollins. If they turn up, we'll know."

Cut to Amanda and Nick who have just arrived in La Jolla

They had been travelling for the last couple of days before finally arriving in La Jolla. Amanda awoke just as they arrived.

"Mmmm" she moaned as she woke up.

"Hi" he smiled as he looked over.

"Mmm Hi." She said as she looked out the window. "Are we here?"

"Mmm hmmm yep."

"Wow, it's beautiful." She said as she took in the view.

"Yeah, it is" he said with a smile as he continued driving. "I thought we could grab some stuff from the market and then get settled in."

Amanda turned to face Nick and smiled "Yeah that sounds good."

Nick pulled into a spot just outside the market and he and Amanda got out grabbed a basket and walked inside.

"So you never told me how you ended up getting this place. I mean no offence, but this community seems a little pricey for a NYPD detective" She whispered.

Nick put his hand around Amanda's waist and pulled her in close as they wandered the isles picking up the items they needed and putting them in the basket. "He was a man who I helped get into drug rehab. He passed away and he didn't have any family so he left his place to me."

"Wow that was nice of him." Said Amanda

"Yeah he didn't have any family and we were close. I visited him in rehab, made sure he was okay and working the program."

"It sounds like he thought of you as a son."

Nick looked at Amanda and smiled. "I think he did too."

"He would have done a better job then some." He mumbled.

"Did you say something?"

Nick shot a small smile."Nah, nah nothing. Come on, let's go home" He said as they paid for the groceries and headed off to their new home.

Cut to Santiago

Santiago had made it out of Amanda's apartment and down the street, desperate to find an empty apartment, shopfront, something. He knew he couldn't go to the hospital; they would have been obligated to report a GSW.

He kept walking and walking for numerous blocks, he knew the police would be on the lookout for him. He had to get far away from Amanda's apartment as fast as possible. Then he realised that he had his cell phone still in his pocket he ducked into a nearby alley way and dialled a number.

"Pedro, where are you I have been shot. I need your help."

"Tell me where you are. I'll come and get you Jefe."

Santiago repeated the address back to Pedro.

"Stay where you are we'll be there soon."

Shortly after Santiago saw Pedro arrived. He came out of the alley and he Pedro jumped in the car.

"What the hell happened? I thought you were going to kill her." He asked as he took a look at his arm.

"Owww. Geez."

"So what happened?

"She's pregnant Pedro."

"She's what?"

"She's pregnant." He repeated

"And you couldn't kill her, because she was pregnant with your child!" He said as he started to clean and dress the wound using the first aid kit from the car.

Santiago didn't answer.

"Huh? Is that what happened? And how do you even know the kid is yours"

"She wouldn't lie about something like that"

"Really wouldn't she? I mean how well do you really know her Santiago? And you didn't answer my question.

"She had help."

"Who, who helped her and how did he help her you had her at gun point"

"He said he was her home nurse assigned from the hospital, if I didn't let him in red flags would have gone up."

"Alright, alright. We'll find her and you need to finish what you started."

Santiago nodded.

Cut back to Brooklyn Narcotics

Both Nick and Amanda's Captain's walked out into the squad room. "Morrow, Sevet? You two getting anywhere?"

"Yeah uh, we've ruled out a bunch of people, who were not in the area or locked up at the time of the shooting.

"They could have hired someone, did you check that out?"

"Yeah we had Girham and Beach check it out. Nothing came up."

"Alright so read off who you got left." Asked Roberts.

"Alright, we've got Victor D'Souza, Emile Bastion, Eyal Cohen, Cameron Delgado and Santiago Diaz.

"Alright 5 suspects, split them up and follow them down. Captain Briggs and I will take Diaz; you 4 sort it out amongst yourselves. I don't care who takes who, just get it done." He said as he and Briggs walked away.

"What are you thinking?" Asked Briggs

"The Diaz case was the last case Rollins was working when she was shot. So I say we start there."

"Who exactly is Diaz?" He asked

"He was a drug king pin. Rollins was to infiltrate his operations and gather proof to bring him down."

"Wait what do you mean was a drug king pin? He's dead?"

"Yeah he was killed in a firefight. Rollins took 3 shots to torso, almost died."

"Is it just me or are you getting the feeling that Diaz's death didn't stick?"

"Come on"

"Where are we going?"

"To get confirmation he's dead and if he's not, we find Santiago we find Rollins and Amaro.
