Manhattan opened the cap to the gas can again and looked at her rope. She went over her check list again. Life raft, check. Long rope, check. Ladder time, check. She grabbed the rope and started shoving it into the gas can, leaving enough left to give her time. She spread the remained rope out and grabbed the end. Taking the lighter into her hand, she took a breath with her eyes closed. She opened them and lit the rope on fire. Manhattan dropped the lighter and hurried up the ladder. She grabbed the yellow life raft on the floor and hurried out the door, landing on it when she jumped off the boat. It knocked the wind out of her when she hit the life raft hard.

She was still gasping for breath when a gun shot went off. It hit the water a foot away from her raft. Manhattan turned onto her back and grabbed the gun she took from Tommy. Ross was the one shooting. She pulled the trigger five times, watching as the gun fell from his hand when she hit his arm and shoulder. Her heart started beating frantically when she saw Ross starting to get up again. The raft was getting further and further from the boat, but she was still wondering how good his aim was.

When he stood all the way up, he was clutching his arm. "You bitch!" He screamed before lifting his gun again. At that moment, the boat went up in flames. Manhattan turned over onto her stomach again to block herself from the bright light.

"NO!" Olivia screamed as Fin slowed the boat down to a stop. She stood up and started running to the front of the boat, about to jump into the water.

"OLIVIA!" Elliot yelled before grabbing her waist. He pulled her to him, letting her bury her face in his chest. He cupped the back of her head as she sobbed into his shoulder. He let his tears fall, dripping onto her shoulder. "She's gone."

Olivia held him tighter as she sobbed. "No."

Fin dropped his head to the steering wheel, finally giving up. John dropped back into the cushions of the boat. Elliot rocked with Olivia, looking out at the remains of the boat. He froze when he saw the yellow life raft bopping up and down in the water. "Fin?" He looked over at Fin to find him slowly sitting up. "Fin, what's over there?"

Everybody looked out at the wreckage and saw the life raft. "It's a life boat." John breathed. Fin started the boat again and slowly drove out to the life raft.

~Manhattan~

Manhattan groaned turning back onto her back. She looked at the gun in her hand before tossing it into the lake. Her legs were throbbing as she lay there, eyes closed. The crackling of fire surrounded her until she heard a faint motor. She lifted her neck to look around. Her eyes widened when she saw a motor boat. When it got closer, she smiled seeing her parents. Grimacing, she sat up and grabbed the boat when it was close enough to her life raft. "MJ!" Elliot breathed. He watched her face screw up in pain as she stood up. He put his hands under her arms and lifted her up.

"Hey Daddy!" Manhattan teared up before sitting on the edge of the boat. He put her arm around his neck as he put his behind her back and under her knees. He lifted her into the boat and sat down, her legs resting in Olivia's lap. He wrapped his arm around Olivia.

"Hey baby." Olivia smiled, tearing up. She cupped the side of her daughter's face as she snuggled closer to Elliot.

Manhattan hugged them tighter. "I missed you guys." She sobbed.

"We missed you too." Elliot breathed, kissing her head.

Fin started the boat back up again and headed back to the lumber yard. He tried to make the ride as gentle as possible as they went over the small waves. When they reached the concrete landing. John grabbed one of the poles, sticking out of the concrete, to steady the boat. A few swat members and FBI agents helped steady the boat as well. Olivia got off first and helped Elliot off while he carried Manhattan. He went over and sat her down on a gurney before looking her over with Olivia. "Honey, you don't have a scratch on you." Olivia breathed.

"I'm the one that blew up the boat. But, there's definitely more than a scratch." Manhattan said, panting when she situated herself.

"You... blew up the boat?" Elliot asked slowly. Manhattan nodded, running a hand through her hair. "How did you do that?"

"I lit a rope on fire and put half of it in a gas can. When the rope hit the gas, that would explode and hit the engines." Manhattan said, scratching her neck. "I've watched shark movies enough to know that."

Olivia rubbed her back before kissing her head. "I can't believe you knew how to do that."

Manhattan shook her head. "I can't believe I thought of it out there." She looked out at the lake and then back at her parents. "I killed three men; I... killed my rapist." She teared up.

"Honey, you did what you had to do." Elliot breathed, cradling her against his chest. He looked at Olivia with tears in his eyes.

"I'm going to go check on Carrie. I'll be right back." Olivia said, rubbing Elliot's back. She kissed Manhattan's head before bounding off.

Elliot rocked gently with Manhattan in his arms. "I'm so sorry I let this happen."

Manhattan shook her head. "This isn't your fault."

"This isn't your fault either." Elliot whispered.

Manhattan pulled back enough to look at his face. Her eyes were red and puffy, her hair mused. She shook her head. "I'm not so sure about that." She let out a sob before Elliot brought her to his chest again.

"MJ, this isn't your fault. Baby, you did not ask for this. They forced you." Elliot said, tearing up as his voice started to crack. "It's not your fault. I promise you that. What happened is never going to be your fault."

"I love you, Daddy." Manhattan sniffled, holding him tighter.

"I love you too, MJ." Elliot breathed laying his head on hers. "So much."

Please review! You guys are great! For those of you that read my story Yielding, Elliot is going to be in the story. He just won't be in it every chapter.
