Chapter 12: Like Her Daddy
Roger and Martin were setting at the table in Riggs's new home looking at wedding books. Everyone was over there to eat dinner. Riggs was looking at a three-piece suit that was all black. He handed the book over to Roger who liked it. They were planning their wedding. They had planned pretty much everything. They only had a few things to get. Trish walked over to them and looked at the wedding books.
"We almost got everything." Roger said and looked at his wife.
"You know that we will have to get a bigger house." Trish told her husband.
"Really why?" He asked her.
"Don't you want to live with Martin and your new daughter?" She asked him.
"Yea Rog, Don't you?" Martin asked with his chin in his hand.
"Well yea, course I want to." He said and looked at Martin.
Everyone ate and left, Roger told Trish that he was staying the night. She smiled and kissed him. Roger shut the door and walked over to Martin and kissed him. Eira made a face and then walked to her room. Riggs wrapped his arms around Roger's neck. Roger wrapped his arms around Riggs's waist and pulled him close. The kissed was full of passion. The kissed broke and the looked at each other with a smile.
"If you two are done then are you going to come in give me a kiss goodnight?" Eira asked for the hallway. Martin looked over and smiled at her.
"Be right there." He said and moved out of the hug. Martin moved to the hallway. Roger followed him. Roger walked to Eira's room and saw Eira in bed. Riggs was setting on the side of the bed. He leaned in and kissed her on the forehead.
"Goodnight, love you very much." He told her.
"Night, love you too Papa." She kissed him on the cheek. Martin got up and turned off the light and walked over to the door.
"Night Dad." She called out to Roger.
"Night." He said and moved to let Riggs pass by. Riggs closed the door a little.
He and Roger walked into the kitchen and started on the dishes. Roger could still see a smile on Riggs face. Roger walked over and stood next to him. Riggs looked over at him and narrowed his eyes at him.
"What?" He asked.
"You really do love her don't you." Martin smiled.
"Yea I do." He said with a huge smile that reach his eyes.
"Oh, I got to give you something." Roger told Riggs and moved to his bag that he had brought with him. Martin looked at him and sat the towel that he was holding down. He walked over to the table and was about to get some glasses, but Roger stopped him. Roger took Riggs's hand into his and put a ring on his finger. Martin looked at his right hand.
"What is this?" He asked looking at the two-birch white gold channel set men's ring with one diamond in it.
"Now you are my fiancée." Roger told him. Riggs looked at it and smiled.
"Rog it's supposed to go on my left hand." He told him.
"Yes, but I thought that you would want to keep yours and Miranda's ring on that hand. Just like I'm going to keep mine and Trish's on my left." Roger told him. Riggs nodded his and agreed.
They finished cleaning up and then went to bed. They got in bed and laid next to each other. Roger played with Riggs now somewhat long hair. Martin loved it when he would do this. It always put him to sleep. Roger smiled when he heard Riggs breath in deep and out. He knew that he was asleep. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
-Morning-
Martin woke up at the sound of the alarm on his phone telling him that it was time to get up. He got up and looked at Roger and smiled. He walked into Eira's room and woke her up for school. She got up and he went into the kitchen to fix her lunch and him something to eat. Roger walked out of the bedroom and over to the kitchen island and sat down. Eira came out dressed for school. She ate the food that Riggs had fixed for her. Then she heard Riana outside beeping the horn. She ran over and kissed Martin on the cheek and he kissed her on the forehead. Roger was not expecting for her to run over and kiss him on the cheek and ran out.
-Later-
Riggs and Roger were feeling pretty good about themselves. They had brought in some drugs that were in the back of a sports car. They were at Riggs's deck when Roger's phone went off. He looked at it and then at Riggs.
"It's Riana she is calling me on video chat." He said and hit the talk symbol and a man showed up.
"Hello Mr. Murtaugh and Mr. Riggs." Riggs heard his name and walked over to where they could see him.
"Who are and what are you doing with my daughter's phone?" Roger asked.
"Oh, she let me borrow it for a bite." He said smiling. The man showed both of them their daughters. They were tied to each other and were on the ground. Both of their eyes got wide.
"Now you have something that we want. The drugs you took today belong to me, and if you two want to see your daughters alive again. You will bring the bag to the warehouse that you took it from." The man said.
"You better do it before nine tonight or they will die, but first me and my boys with have some fun with them." The guy ended the call. Roger and Martin looked at each other. They had no choice but to take the drugs to the men to get Eira and Riana back.
-At Eight O'clock-
They walked into the warehouse that had sports cars all in it but there was a huge opening in the middle of the warehouse. Roger had the bag drugs in his hand. He and Riggs were walking side by side. They looked around and didn't see the girls.
"Where are they?" Roger asked. The man moved and showed the girls in the back of one of the sports cars that was running. There was a guy in the drives seat.
"Get them out of there and we will give the drugs to you!" Roger yelled.
"You give me the drugs and I will let them out." The man said. Riggs looked over at Roger. Roger held out his arm and a guy with a gun walked over and took it from him. The guy walked over to his boss and handed it to him. The man opened the bag and looked in and saw the drugs. He looked over to one of his men and nodded his head.
The driver got out and let them out on the same side. The girls were not tied now. Roger looked at his daughter and smiled. Riggs looked at his daughter and did the same.
"Wait this is not the cocaine! It's powered sugar." The man yelled, and the men started to shoot at Mating and Roger who moved to one of the sports cars and got out their guns and started to fire. Riggs looked over at Roger.
"Really, you couldn't give them the real stuff."
"I am still a cop." Roger said, and Riggs rolled his eyes.
"Put the girls back into the car!" The man yelled out to the driver. The driver grabbed Riana and Eira grabbed her knife that was in her boot. She thrusted upward and cut the drivers throat at the jugular and the man fell to the ground holding his neck. She reached down and grabbed his gun. She pushed Riana to the drives seat of the car.
Soon most of the men were dead, but there were some that was still alive. Riggs had gotten his gun knocked out of his hand and now was fighting hand to hand. Roger was now doing the same. He hit guy that he was fight and saw one take off running. Roger ran after him.
"Eira what are we going to do?" Riana asked her as a bullet hit the car. Eira looked and there were only three men left. They one that Roger was running after, the one that her father was fighting, and the men's boss who was about to shoot Riana in the head.
"Get down!" Eira yelled and Riana did and Eira shot the boss. She leaned in and told Riana what to do next. Riana did what she was told to do. Eira made her way to her father who down on the ground getting choked. She raised the gun and shot him in the head. Riggs looked over and saw his girl and smiled a big smile.
"That's my girl." He said and got up.
Roger was outside down on the ground. The man was standing over him. The man got his gun and held it up.
"You know, I was going to fun with your girl tonight." He said and Roger's blood boiled with anger. Just then a sports car hit the guy and he went flying across the ground. Roger looked up and it was Riana in the drives seat.
"Huh I thought the airbags would go off." She told herself. Roger got up and walked over to the car and opened the door.
"What are you doing?" He asked her.
"Eira told me to hit the guy." She told him.
"Yep she is Riggs's daughter alright." He said to himself and Riana.
-Later-
They all were in Avery's office as well as Doctor Cahill. Avery was pissed off at all of them but the doctor. He looked at the two men that were standing behind the chairs that the girls were setting in. He looked down at the girls.
"Do you have any idea what I have to do now?" He asked. Riggs and Roger looked at each other.
"I don't know thank us, the girls." Riggs said, and Roger agreed with him.
"No, I have to take your daughter in cause she killed someone." He pointed at Eira.
"What!" Riggs said getting angry.
"She saved my life!" He yelled out and pointed his finger at Avery. Doctor Cahill saw a ring with a diamond on it on the same hand that he had up. Then she heard Roger's phone go off and looked at it. It had a picture of Riggs as the background. He eyes got wide.
"SHE KILLED SOMEONE!" Avery yelled and stood up.
"I SAVED MY FATHER!" She yelled at him and stood up. He looked at her.
"She is just as crazy as you are." Avery said that to Riggs. Martin was getting mad now. Roger could see this and move over and grabbed his arm and Riggs looked at him and then calmed down. Cahill was shocked at this.
"She saved her father's life Avery." Cahill said and they all looked at her.
"But…"
"No, she saved him and told Riana what to do to save her own father." She added. Avery sat down and looked at the girl.
"Fine, I will let it go this time." He said.
"Good…now how long have you two been engaged?" She asked Riggs and Roger.
"What?" Avery asked.
"Well Riggs has a new ring on his right hand and Murtaughs phone's background is Riggs's picture." She said knowing that they were together.
"You know, you can be a know it all when you want to be." Riggs said looking at her. "Engaged for a few weeks now." He said with a smile. Avery looked at him and then at Roger who said.
"And we have had been dating for about five months."
"And ten day and 3 weeks." Riggs added. Roger looked a Martin and smiled. Riggs smiled back.
"You keep it from me that long?" Avery said.
"Yea we did." Riggs said looking over at Roger.
"Okay all of you get out." Avery said still in shock. Everyone left the office to go home.
"Riggs?" Doctor Cahill called out his name. He turned around and walked over to her.
"I want to talk to you tomorrow." She said, and he nodded his head.
-Next Day-
Martin was setting on the couch that was in Doctor Cahill's office. She was setting in her chair. He looked at her and smiled.
"We have not talked in a while have we?" She asked him.
"Nope, Had no need." He told her.
"Are you happy with Murtaugh?" She asked.
"I would not be marrying him if I wasn't." He said with a smile and looked at his new ring.
"Riggs?" He looked at her.
"Why did you adopt Eira?" She asked him.
"Because Miranda told me that Eira needed me, and I needed her. That we could heal together." He told her.
"Really, when did she tell you this?"
"I when I was going through detox and again when I was laying there on the floor with a bullet in my head. Then she talked to me while I was in recovery that night." He said the truth.
"So, you adopted a girl because your dead wife told you to?" She asked him.
"Yes…and I…didn't want her to end up like me." Riggs told her and looked away.
"Like you?"
"Yea…always in pain, but now I don't feel the pain. I felt a little bite of it when me and Rog first got together. Then it went away when I decided to adopt Eira." He told her.
"Is that a terrible thing?" He asked wanting to know.
"No, it's a good thing. That means that you are healing." She said with a smile. He looked at her and smiled back.
"Good." He said still smiling.
