After dinner, Keleigh and Randy sat in the living room talking. She put some music on in the background as she hated silence. Since she was younger, she had to have music playing in the house. As they sat there, she decided to talk to him about the photos.
"Randy, you really don't let anyone see the photos right?" She asked as they sat there.
"No and K, I don't really watch you. I have once or twice but it's not something I do." He had watched once. He still had strong feelings for her as he had when they were kids.
"Good. I know you have seen me before but it's weird to think you watch me having sex with my husband."
"I know that and I don't really watch." He laughed. "So, how are you really?"
"I'm getting there. John and I are going to try for another baby."
"That's great, K. So, things are okay with you and John?"
"I don't know. We talked about things and worked some things out but I'm worried."
"About what?"
"Things. I just I feel us changing and I wonder if he loves me anymore."
"Why would you think he doesn't?"
"Since the assignment, he is distant a little. He is focused on work. I'm wondering what happen on the assignment. He didn't tell me much."
"K, I'm sure it's fine. Just talk to him about it." He knew John had cheated but he couldn't' tell her. He couldn't hurt her like that. He was thinking about what to say when he heard their song come on the stereo. "They're playing our song."
"They are." She smiled before standing up. "So, come and dance with me."
He took her hand and they began to dance to the music. The song was "With or Without you." By U2. They had danced to it when they were younger at one of Stephanie's boy/girl parties.
As they dance, he couldn't' help but think to when they were younger. They hadn't really dated but they had been together numerous times. After every break up or event, they would end up together. They had always been able to talk to each other and be completely honest with each other. But she was married now and he knew that they would never be together again.
The next few days went by quickly. Keleigh finally had a day off and she was going to bake something to send to John's dad for his birthday. She had started sending him things not long after she and John were married. She went into the kitchen and turned on some music and started making some cookies. She had the music up loud and was singing along with the music and never heard the door open and someone walk in.
"Hey beautiful." John said walking up behind.
"You're home." She said excitedly. She turned to kiss her husband. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." He laughed and kissed her again.
"So, did everything go okay in New York?"
"Yeah. We got some information."
"Great." She said turning the cookies off. "I'm glad it went well."
"Yeah. So, hopefully this will help get Batista." John said stealing a cookie off the baking rack.
"Yeah. Well enough of that." She said with smile before kissing him again. "I missed you and I don't want to talk about work."
She kissed him again and the kiss soon turned passionate. They had been apart for three days which was the longest since he came back from the assignment.
"Someone really missed me." He laughed pulling away a little.
"You have no idea." She said before kissing him again. "I want you so much right now."
"In the kitchen? I thought that was a no-no in your house rule book." He kidded her.
"Oh, I don't have any rules for that." She kidded back before kissing him again and then pulling away a little. "Now, take off the pants."
"I love when you get demanding on me."
"John, I'm horny and I want you. So, are you going to talk some more or are you going to take off the pants?"
He kissed her again and they were soon making love in the kitchen. They eventually moved to the bedroom where they continued things. Afterwards, as they laid there, she decided this was the perfect time to ask him something or really tell him.
"John, I was thinking that we should get a pet." She said as they laid there. She missed her cat and thought a new pet would be great for them.
"What kind of pet?" John asked.
"A dog maybe."
"Any certain kind?"
"A Golden Retriever."
"Okay, if you want a dog, let's get a dog."
"Yay!" Keleigh hugged him tightly.
"I love you silly girl." He loved how the smallest thing made her happy.
"I love you too." She kissed him. "So, let's go to the pet store and find us a dog later."
"Okay." John replied just as his cell phone went off. "Cena."
"John, it's Kofi, we think we have Batista on something." Kofi said on the phone.
"What?" John asked excited.
"We have a witness who is in our custody right now and says they saw him kill Morrison. The witness has made the statement and is in protective custody here at our office. We have him this time. You need to come down here now."
"I'm on my way." John hung up his cell phone and looked at Keleigh. "They have a witness who is at our office and is saying that they saw Batista kill Morrison. I have to go there."
"But we were going to the pet store and do some other things." Keleigh was sad that he was going to work when he had just gotten back from New York. "You just got back from New York."
"I'm sorry, K, but I can't pass up this chance to get Batista. We can go to the pet store tomorrow." He said getting up and getting dressed. He wondered why she was being so unreasonable this.
"Fine, go. Go get Batista." She said knowing he was going to do it anyway.
"I'm sorry about this. I promise I will make it up to you." He kissed her and left.
"Yeah." She said to herself after he left. She laid back down on the bed and sighed. "I will just go get the dog without him."
She got up and got showered and then dressed. She was soon on her way to the pet store.
John arrived at his office and saw Kofi standing outside the interrogation room.
"Who is the witness?" He asked walking up.
"Cody Rhodes. He says he was there when Batista killed Morrison."
"Is he willing to testify?"
"Yes, if we grant him immunity and place him in witness protection."
"Are we?"
"Yes, Jerry is working it out now."
Jerry came out at that moment. He saw Kofi and John standing in the other room.
"Cody is ready to make his statement. He has immunity from prosecution and we are placing him in witness protection."
"Can I take the statement?" John asked.
"Yes with Kofi there to make sure nothing is said that shouldn't be."
John and Kofi headed into the room and took Cody's statement. John realized that they finally had Batista. After his statement, the warrant was issued for them to arrested Batista and they had a search warrant for his house and business to find evidence.
Keleigh headed to the pet store and looked at the dogs they had. She found a Golden Retriever puppy that was perfect for them. She got the dog and everything to go with him. Once it was loaded into her SUV, she headed home. She was still upset that John chose to go to work when he had just gotten back.
She arrived home and took the stuff in then got the puppy out. She was trying to decide what to name him. She went in and put the doggy bed in the guest room and filled the food and water bowls.
"What can I name you puppy?" Keleigh said picking him up and snuggling him. "I think I will name you Simba. Do you like that puppy?" The puppy licked her on the cheek. "I'll take that as a yes."
Keleigh laughed and put Simba down. He began to walk around the house looking around as she called it. She made her way into the kitchen to what she had to make for dinner. After looking, she decided to order some Chinese. She ordered John something even though she had no idea when he would be home.
After taking Cody's statement, John and the team headed out to arrest Batista. They found him at the club and arrested him. He smirked when John arrested him. He knew it would never go to trial. He had a feeling he knew who the witness was and it would be easy to make him not remember.
"Sit." John said putting him in the interrogation room.
"You have nothing Cena." Batista said to him.
"I have a witness who saw you kill someone and now you're going down." John sat across from him.
"You are pathetic. You make me your whole life. What does your wife think about your obsession with me? Does she know what you did with my sister?"
"Leave my wife out of this and leave her alone."
"I take it from that she doesn't. What would she think if she knew you cheated on her? Have you no shame about anything? You are married that is a big commitment. Do you love your wife? I mean, you must not love her too much if you cheat on her. My information says your wife is very beautiful. Maybe I can meet her and tell her all about her husband." Batista knew this would get John angry and he would lose his temper.
John pushed the table out of the way and started attacking Batista. Kofi and Chris ran in and pulled the two apart. Jerry walked after them.
"John, go home. You have done enough." Jerry said to his top agent.
"Jerry, I want to question him."
"No, go home now." John walked out and headed to his desk. He knew his action would come under review and possibly hurt the case against Batista and he knew that was what Batista had wanted. He had taunted him about Keleigh and knew John would lose his temper.
John headed home like Jerry told him too. He couldn't believe that he lost it with Batista. He let Batista get to him and he should have been stronger about it. He pulled up into the driveway and saw Keleigh sitting outside on the porch as a Golden Retriever puppy ran around the yard.
"Hey, baby. Did you get Batista?" Keleigh said when he walked up. She had gotten over him leaving to an extent. She decided to let it go.
"We did but I don't know if it will stick." John sat down beside her and the puppy ran up to him. "Hey, puppy." He picked the puppy up.
"This is Simba, our new pet." Keleigh petted the puppy on the head.
"I see. So, you went to the pet store."
"Yes, I wanted a puppy and I figured I would go ahead and get one because I had no idea when you might be home."
"I like him." He said noticing her tone. He knew she was still upset about him leaving.
"Good. I ordered Chinese. Yours is in the refrigerator. I can heat it up for you."
"Thanks." He followed Keleigh inside with Simba in his arms.
He put the puppy down and washed his hands. He was still thinking about how he might have ruined the case.
"John, what is going on? You got Batista that is what you wanted." Keleigh said as she heated up his dinner.
"I think I might have ruined it." John sat down at the bar.
"How?"
"He started taunting me about you and I lost it. I attacked him."
"Taunting you how?"
"By asking me if I thought I could protect you. He said if I came near his sister, he would go after you. I have no intention to ever see Mickie Batista again." He couldn't tell her what Batista really said without telling her he cheated.
"He is a criminal. I'm sure the case will be fine."
"I hope so. K, I'm sorry about going to the office. But you understand how important it is to catch him right?"
"I understand. Yes, I was mad at first but I thought about it and I realize he needs to be in jail. So, I'm not mad anymore."
"Good. Because I love you and I don't mean to put this case ahead of us but I want him in jail."
"I understand. Let's just make the best of the rest of the night."
"Deal."
He ate dinner and they headed into the living room to get to know the puppy. John felt bad that he left to get Batista. He hoped that he had done nothing to get Batista out of the charges but he feared that he had. Something told him that Batista would somehow get out of these charges.
