Look at me, 3 updates, 3 days in a row! :D! Enjoy :)
"Are you sure you're sober enough to have it back?" Hawkes asked "I wouldn't want you to accidentally shoot someone because you've still got alcohol in your system"
"Hawkes, just give it to me, I'm not going to shoot anybody, I just want to scare him" Flack replied keeping one eye on Marcus who was heading down an ally.
"Okay okay" Hawkes discretely pulled the gun from his pocket and handed it to Flack. "Just be careful with it"
"I will" Flack said sliding the gun into his Jacket pocket, keeping his hand on it "Now come with me, I'll need you as back up"
Hawkes nodded.
Together both men made their way across the street and down the ally they had just seen Marcus head down, the walked right to end the ally, it then split off into two directions "Which way?" Hawkes whispered.
Flack looked both directions, unsure which one to take, then he spotted a man in some sort of cap walking up the left path way of the ally. "That way" he pointed.
"Okay" Hawkes replied "You first"
Danny Lindsay and Lucy were now snuggled up on the couch watching Snow White. Danny had convinced Lucy to sit in the middle of both of them as that was the 'snuggliest' spot.
The bit with the evil step mother and the apple came on, Lucy turned and hid her face into Lindsay's arm. "Scary" she mumbled.
"It's okay Lucy, I'll tell you when it over" Danny replied, certain that she hadn't realised whose arm she had hid her face into.
Lindsay carefully wrapped her arm around Lucy "I'll protect you"
"It's over Luce" Danny told her.
Lucy looked up and saw she had been cuddled up to Lindsay "You 'tected me?"
"I did, I'll always protect you sweet heart" Lindsay told her. She swallowed "I protected you that night with Shane"
"You shooted him though Mummy"
"Only to save you Lucy, he was going to hurt you and Daddy, so I had to protect you, I couldn't stand there and watch him hurt the two most precious people in my life"
"Like how the prince protects Snow white cos he loves her?"
"Yes just like that" Lindsay smiled.
"So you're my prince?" Lucy asked cocking her head to one side.
"No, I'm your Mummy, I do the same job as a prince would though"
Lucy smiled "I like having you as my Mummy" then resting her head back on Lindsay's arms she snuggled up with Mr Rabbit to watch the rest of the film.
Danny looked over at Lindsay and gave her a big grin "I'm proud of you" he mouthed over the top of Lucy's head.
Back in the crime lab Mac and Stella were still in his office discussing what they should do next "I'm going to send a radio message out, letting everyone know that Marcus Casey is now a top priority" Mac told her.
"Okay, I'll get Adam to go through all the security footage, see if we can spot him anywhere on the streets"
"I'm also going to send someone to stand watch at Danny and Lindsay's door, I think he may try to take Lucy again"
"Do you think he would? Surely he would know we would be watching her like a hawk now?"
"Stella, I think this man is capable of anything and he will do what ever it takes to get what he wants"
Stella nodded "We better act fast then, before he strikes again"
Hawkes and Flack followed Marcus slowly from behind, they had no idea where he was going.
Marcus realised he had taken a wrong turn somewhere and was now heading towards a dead-end, he turned to go back on himself and that's when he noticed the two cops behind him. Reaching into his pocket he pulled his gun out.
"Put that down Marcus, we don't want anyone to get hurt" Flack replied taking his gun from his pocket.
"No, as long as you have yours then I'll have mine" Marcus told him.
"Look, we just need you to come to the station with us. You know what you did was wrong and one way or another you are going to end up in prison. So lets just go now instead of playing a game of cat and mouse, that you know we will win" Flack said still holding his gun up.
"You're awfully calm" Marcus laughed "Especially for a man whose sister has just been killed"
"How did you know about...It was you wasn't it? You murdered her? You killed Sam"
Marcus began to clap "Well done, gold star for you"
"How dare you clap, you sick son of a bitch. My sister is dead because of you, she did nothing to deserve that" Flack spat.
"She was your sister and you and all your little friends at the science club pissed me off big time by first killing my brother and secondly giving me all that fake money. I had brought her back to you, the kid, I brought her back in one piece and my reward is fake money? Your sister deserved to die just because she was related to your sorry little ass"
"No, No my sister never deserved any of this, if anyone should have been killed, it should have been me, I was the one involved in the fake money, Sam knew nothing about it, she doesn't even work for the NYPD She was innocent in all of this." Flack replied angrily
"Well, if you want to die we can make that happen" Marcus smiled placing the his finger on the trigger of his gun.
"I'll shoot you before you shoot me" Flack replied holding his finger on the trigger.
Hawkes watched, not knowing what to do. Flack didn't have his bullet proof vest on, had he forgotten that he hadn't? Hawkes knew there was nothing he could do. He saw the look in both men's eyes, the look of sheer determination, they could both quite easily pull the trigger at that very moment.
And one did.
