Ok everyone can thank laoisbabe for posting her chapter to Beyond the Veil early so I'm posting this :). Here is the final chapter!

Martin jumped out of the car and raced down the street, leaving a shocked Danny behind.

Dodging cars and jumping onto the sidewalk, Martin continued to run towards the cause of the traffic, a three car accident. He paused at one of the many police cars standing by and shouted over the noise to be heard. The police man nodded his head and took out his radio while Martin got into the front seat of the squad car and raced off, sirens blaring.

Danny reached for his phone and answered it. After listening to the person on the other line, he too abandoned the car and ran off in a different direction than Martin had previously taken.

Martin slammed on the brakes when he saw Danny running towards him. The agent jumped into the car along with Martin and they roared off towards the South Bronx.

Jack broke into a cold sweat while he watched Brian approaching him with a steel blade. Perspiration ran down his face in rivulets as he desperately tried to keep his composure.

Samantha limped painfully towards Vivian's car and slowly eased herself into it.

"I'm surprised the hospital discharged you so quickly." Vivian remarked as she weaved her car through the busy New York streets.

"They didn't." Samantha said through gritted teeth.

Martin's car pulled up to 184 Glien Road and he and Danny cautiously exited the Sedan, creeping towards the back door, guns drawn. Martin stood by the back door and signaled to Danny who opened it carefully.

Danny went in first, his eyes quickly adjusting to the dark. He stopped and listened as he heard Brian's voice.

Elena watched the computer screen anxiously, watching Brian approach Jack.

"Stay here." Vivian ordered.

"No, I'm fine." Samantha insisted, opening the car door.

"Samantha, I'm ordering you to stay in this car until I get back." Vivian said firmly.

Samantha rudely ignored her and got out of the car anyways, walking towards the building.

Vivian sighed and rolled her eyes, giving up.

"FBI drop your weapon!" Martin shouted, coming towards Brian.

"What would happen if I slit his throat right now?" Brian pondered, rubbing the blade gently across Jack's neck.

"I would kill you." Martin warned dangerously.

Brian stopped and considered. "What do I have to live for?"

"Brian, you have a son. Remember? Don't you want to be there for him?" Danny asked.

Brian smiled. "Finn. He looks so much like his mother." Brian pressed the knife more firmly into Jack's throat, causing Jack to cough.

"Brian stop, please." Samantha said as firmly as she could, one hand on her gun, the other pressed on her side where her sutures had split open and had started to bleed again.

Brian laughed, "This is priceless. Thank you for coming, I thought you were dead. Now you get to watch Jack die too."

"Brian, I brought someone with me." Samantha said, calling someone in.

"Daddy!" Finn cried, trying to run over to his father but Samantha held his hand firmly.

Samantha was nervous. Her son was in a dangerous situation but she had figured with three capable agents and herself, Finn would be safe.

Brian faltered, "Hey buddy."

"Mommy let go!" Finn said, wriggling. He stopped, however, when he saw what Brian was doing. "Daddy, you're not supposed to play with knives."

"I know, little man." Brian paused, "Can you take him out of here?" Brian shouted.

Finn looked up at Brian, hurt written all over his little brown eyes. "Why daddy?"

Brian hesitated, looking at his son's face and slowly lowered the knife, dropping it to the ground and raising his hands in surrender. "This is trickery. You can't do this!" Brian shouted as Danny roughly thrust handcuffs onto him.

"Brian Donavon, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Jack Malone, the rape of Amy Kalien and a million other things we haven't even talked about yet." Danny spat.

Vivian signaled the paramedics to come in, two of them running to Jack and one coming over to look at Samantha's wound.

Samantha shrugged off the paramedic and walked over to Jack, kissing him passionately. "I love you." She whispered in his ear.

Jack looked up at her and smiled as best as he could. "I love you too."

TA DA! Ok so thanks to my many reviewers, and PLEASE let me know what you thought of this grand finale. I would like 20 reviews :) Total, I mean. Not for this chapter. So now that I'm done I am open to new story ideas and possible partner writing, shoot me a PM and let me know because I want to start writing again! (Of course I do have to finish When Lines are Blurred WHICH is coming up to a big Jack um... what do you call it in the last few chapters. So don't abandon me!)

Thank you:
