Part: 21/? – Sheamus Responds

OOOO

Phil rolled over in bed. He had only been able to rest for about fifteen minutes or so, but that didn't really matter to him. He wasn't actually all that tired and it was on Hunter's insistence that he finally laid down for a short amount of time. Carefully, he stretched out and took his cell off of the bedside table. The Caller ID read 'Commissioner Sheamus O'Shaughnessy'. Phil frowned. As far as Phil was concerned, he was off-duty until Beth and Jessica were arrested and prosecuted per Sheamus' orders. What could he want now?

Phil didn't waste any time. Immediately, he answered the call. "Hello?"

"Phil, I need you to come down to the station. I have some stuff here that we need to discuss immediately." Sheamus' tone left no room for questions. "Come down in about an hour, okay?"

Phil was silent for a moment, before he said, "Is there a reason that I have to come down? I thought that I was on leave until Beth and Jessica were arrested?" Phil asked.

"I have some pictures here that are very… interesting. I want to get your take on it before I make any rash decisions, fella. You have one hour." Sheamus said seriously. It made Phil's blood run cold.

Before Phil could say another word, Sheamus ended the call. Phil rolled off of the bed and dressed himself in some loose jean shorts and his favorite metallic silver sleeveless hoodie. He flicked the hood over his head and grabbed his phone, tucking it into his pocket. The drive down to the Chicago Police Station would be short, maybe an hour at most. If he was lucky, he could make it back for lunch. It may have been a little bit hard to believe, but Hunter was an excellent cook. Phil raced downstairs and told Hunter that he would be out for a few hours.

Phil slid into his car and started it, before he pulled out of the driveway and drove out. He was silent the entire way. He didn't want to jump to any conclusions, but he was fairly certain that the pictures that Sheamus had were the same pictures that Jessica had sent him of his little affair with Chris. Soon, Phil arrived at the Police Station and cut the engine. Phil climbed out and walked over to the front door, opened it, and was immediately blasted with cold air. Sheamus was waiting for him. He clapped a hand onto his shoulder and led him back to his office in the back corner of the station.

"What is this about, Sheamus?" Phil asked warily. He was incredibly tired and all he wanted was to be back in bed.

"Would you care to explain what the hell these pictures are?" Sheamus threw the newly developed photos down onto the desk. Phil slowly eased himself into the chair and looked them over. "Well?"

Phil looked at him with his wide, olive eyes. "I can totally explain." But then, he hesitated. Sheamus gave him an expectant look. "Okay… I took a liking to Chris. He found out that Jessica had threatened me and wanted me to stay in his hotel room."

"You want to tell me how Jessica Irvine has threatened you and why you didn't fill out an official report?" Sheamus asked. He looked frustrated but also worried at the same time.

"She… somehow, she broke into my hotel room and cut up all of my clothes. She had someone take these pictures of what should have been a private moment. And then she cut me." Phil said softly.

"And then you tazed her." Sheamus finished for him.

"Yes. I tazed her." Phil confirmed.

Sheamus ran a hand over his face and crashed in his own chair. "I should reprimand you for this, Phil."

Phil looked at him blankly. Phil was one of the best officers on the force and had never had to be reprimanded before. But he wouldn't plead with his superior officer and make it worse. "Whatever you believe is best, Commissioner."

"Do you really care about him?" Sheamus asked.

Phil was a bit startled by the sudden question. "What?"

"Do you really care about Chris Irvine?" Sheamus elaborated.

Phil was silent for a moment. He wasn't sure about the answer. But then, he touched one hand to his still-flat stomach and it all became incredibly clear. "Yes, I do."

"Then I can't really blame you – this time, at least. You're off the hook for now, officer. But if this happens a second time, don't expect me to extend the same curtsey." Sheamus said.

Phil's eyes widened considerably. "Thank you, sir."

Sheamus shook his head. "Don't mention it."

Phil left the office with a small smile on his face. He was thankful to have a superior officer like Sheamus, because he knew that many others wouldn't be quite so understanding. He looked at the clock. Maybe he would make it back for lunch after all. Phil got back into the car and drove for a little while, before he came up to a gas station on the outskirts of Addison, Illinois. He went in and bought a bottle of vitamin water, a bottle of decaf Pepsi, and a chocolate bar. Once he was back in the car, he tore into the chocolate bar and devoured it in a matter of moments. Then, he unscrewed the lid on the vitamin water.

He pulled out of the lot, vaguely realizing that he was driving by his partner, Dolph Ziggler's, house. There looked to be a bit of an accident there, but he drove by too fast to really see too much of it. He entered Addison and drove a little while more, making sure that he drank all of his vitamin water. Hunter would have a fit if he found out that, for most of the time that he lived with his sister, he had lived off of Pepsi and sugar. That was, when his sister wasn't shoving meat down his throat. He wasn't a heavy eater, no matter how much his sister tried to make him into one. But he would try to eat better for the baby.

OOOO

AJ smiled at Dolph. It made him more than a little uneasy. "I'm so sorry that I ran into your car, Dolph. Do you want my insurance information?" AJ asked.

"You don't look all that sorry." Dolph mumbled. "Yeah, I'll take your information. I'll find mine too."

Dolph walked around to the passenger side of his car and opened the door, before he opened the glove compartment and took out his car registration and insurance information. He had barely had enough time to grab it when he felt a gun press to the base of his neck. He could feel the metal tremble against his bare skin. AJ was nervous. It was obvious that she knew he was a police officer, as she could see his badge. He wasn't exactly sure what her intention was, but when she jabbed the gun further into the base of his neck, he knew that she had done this before.

Slowly, he raised his hands over his head and allowed AJ to lead him over to the side of his car. She frisked him and was able to find his car keys in his front pocket. Quickly, she put them into her own pocket. And then, she drew the gun back and cracked him on the temple with it. Momentarily disoriented, she turned him around and cuffed him with his own handcuffs. They key to unlock the handcuffs was also in her pocket. However, when he came too, he was able to kick her in the knee and make her stumble back. That's when she shot him.

Almost immediately, his white button-down shirt was coated with a small spray of blood. He had been shot in the shoulder, but the actual pain had yet to kick in. It must have been the rush of adrenaline. Dolph frowned and tried to move his hands, only to realize that his hands were cuffed behind his back and every movement caused his his shoulder to crack and grind loudly. Suddenly, AJ produced a cloth and stuffed it into Dolph's mouth so that he couldn't speak or cry out for assistance. And then, she started to lead him over to her own car.

Cody chose that moment to pull into the driveway. "What the hell? Hey! Drop the weapon, now!"

AJ smiled at him sweetly. "I don't think so."

"You have ten seconds to drop the weapon or I'll shoot!" Cody ordered her. Obviously, AJ didn't take him seriously. She shot at him once and it grazed his arm painfully.

Dolph tried to spit the sock out of his mouth, but AJ drew him back and slammed his forehead into the side of the car. And then, she elbowed him in the side of the neck. Once he was totally motionless, she opened the door to the back of the car and tossed him into the backseat. There was already a towel there, almost as if she was sure that he would be shot before he would be stuffed into the car. Cody shot twice at the car, but AJ was able to avoid the array of of bullets to make it back into the driver's seat. The spray of bullets continued as AJ detached the car from Dolph's and started to drive off.

Cody let out a violent string of curses as he walked back to his squad car and called in the kidnapping with possible intent to kill. He gave the location and told that it was Officer Dolph Ziggler that had been taken. He also revealed that he had been shot, but it was only a small graze. He would follow in close pursuit until he couldn't see them anymore. Cody climbed back into the car and drove off after the car that had crashed into Dolph. In the distance, he could hear several sirens follow behind. Maybe they would be lucky and be able to catch the crazy woman before it was too late…
