Episode 5, Chpt 4

Gang Headquarters.

Elizabeth wakes up to realize that she's hanging from chains next to Reese. Mick walks up to her and slaps her across the face to help her come to faster. Reese also comes to slowly at the sound of the commotion next to him.

"I'm dissappointed in you Kat. What's this detective got that I don't huh? Jen saw the two of you together at the hospital, and the first thing Mr. Do gooder did here was come straight back for us." said Mick

Elizabeth glanced over at Reese, who was watching her and Mick.

"You had to do it your way" Elizabeth whispered to Reese.

"Oh yeah, because your plan turned out so much better".

"Yeah! Nothing like chains to bring out the romance" said Mick, laughing.

Elizabeth snapped her head back around to Mick, glaring.

"And what about all that crap you fed me? 'We're harmless, we don't hurt people'?" asked Elizabeth.

"Oh that? Yeah I was just trying to get you into bed." Mick smirked.

Elizabeth looked disgusted, and Reese was a mix of emotions.

"You really didn't know about the bomb did you?" Reese asked Liz.

"Of course not, how could you think I would?"

"Half the time I'm not sure what to think about you, thats the problem"

"Hey! Lovebirds, we're not here for you two to work things out." Mick hated being ignored.

Mick takes the tazer out and turns it out.

Sam's car

"You think Elizabeth's okay?" Jaimie asked.

"I'm sure she is, she'll send us a message if she's having problems."

"That wasn't very convincing. You know what, I think I should go in"

"No, we should wait for her to tell us when"

"Sam."

"Look, go in to soon and you're going to blow her cover."

"And waiting here doing nothing and we risk her never coming out again, just like mom. I'm not going through that again."

Jaimie finally opened up the car door and got out.

"Jaimie wait."

"I'm going in" Jaimie said, shutting the car door.

"Damn it". After a moment Sam then opened his door, Jaimie already close to the building way ahead of him.

Headquarters

Mick runs the tazer underneath Elizabeth's jaw, shocking her. She grits her teeth and tries to bear the pain. Reese flinches as he sees it.

In the other room, Jaimie walked into the building and right up to one of the guys that is on guard outside the room that Elizabeth was hung up in. He tried to pull out his gun but Jaimie knocked it away quickly, then they began to fight hand to hand. Sam finally caught up, and quickly knocked out the other guy that was headed towards Jaimie. Jaimie then finished with the man she was fighting, and they started to make their way to the back room.

Back Room, Same time as Jaimie and Sam are fighting the men in the other room.

Elizabeth takes a big breath as Mick takes a break from the tazer. He stepped even closer to her, reaching his hand out to rub her cheek.

"See Cat, this isn't about interrogation. I don't really give a damn what you've been up to. This is kinda like sex, it's all about losing yourself in the moment. And I'm enjoying every inch of this."

"Yeah? Well then why don't we skip foreplay?" said Elizabeth. She used the chains to her advantage and lifted herself up to kick Mick in the chest, knocking him to the ground. The other guy pulls his gun, but she quickly kicks it away. The other people standing guard at the door ran over to Elizabeth as she was freeing herself.

She took out the other two men, then took the gun and shot the top of the chains where Reese was being held up, and Reese dropped to the ground and removed the chains.

After hearing the commotion, Jen walks in and grabs the tazer off the ground.

"I'm going to enjoy this" said Elizabeth, walking towards her ready for a fight. She didn't get the chance though as Sam and Jaimie stormed through the door, and Sam knocked her out from behind.

"Liz, you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm good, pretty sure my covers blown" she said, laughing.

With their backs turned away, Mick takes the time to stand up and jump through the window going to the outside of the building. Reese takes no time his gun from the floor and jumping out after Mick. Elizabeth sees Reese, and quickly goes after them.

Mick tries running, but crashes into some barrels outside of the building, falling to the ground. Reese catches up, trapping Mick between him and the wall.

"Go ahead and run!" Reese shouts. He lifts his gun and points it at Mick.

"Reese, wait!" Elizabeth calls out to him, then runs up next to him.

"Looks like your partners come to lend a hand" Mick taunted.

"She's not my partner and I don't need a hand"

"Reese don't do this, your a cop" Elizabeth said, worried Reese was actually going to shoot him.

"Not tonight I'm not" he answered, not taking his eye off Mick.

"Look I get why you want to see this guy dead, but if anyone should do it, it should be me."

"She's right. You don't have it in you." Mick continued to taunt him.

"Reese, this is what he wants, to make you a killer."

"I don't give a damn about what he wants"

"I know I was riding you hard about loosening up and not going by the book, but for God's sakes don't do it right now"

"Why should I listen to you?" Reese asked, quickly glancing at Elizabeth but making sure not to turn away from Mick.

"Because you were wrong. We may just be learning how to work together and get along, but like it or not we're already partners. This is what we do."

"You seriously gonna listen to her?" Mick asked. "She's just some stupid bitch"

Reese quickly takes the gun and slams it into the side of Micks head, knocking him out again.

"Well, that wasn't by the book" Elizabeth stated, smirking.

"He was getting on my nerves"

Reese leaned down and put the handcuffs on Mick. Elizabeth turned to leave. After she left, Reese looked over to find that she'd left the cell phone on the barrel next to him. He took it, and placed it back in his pocket.
