Riley looks at her phone while Lucas was at work during he night and another text came
Unknown - you can't get away from me and Lucas can't protect you deep down you know that I almost had you and his dad 4 months ago I can do it again
Slamming her phone down on the island
Riley - who the fuck are you could it be him all over again
She really wants to call Lucas
Unknown - don't do it you do it and I'll kill him
She looks around her are they watching me she thinks to herself
Riley - No
And another text
Unknown - you should have chose me I have waited and waited to be with you and you choose Lucas well I'm tired of waiting I'll do whatever to get you
Riley felt sick and in that moment she knew
Riley - I need to go get out of here for a while
She didn't want to she had too and that meant leaving the man she loves to protect her and him it wasn't an easy thing to do she starts packing what she left at Lucas' when she would stay over and at the station
Zay - you got the late night shift too luke
Lucas sat at his desk
Lucas - yeah
They start looking at unsolved cases and olds ones they couldn't solve but one among all stuck out like a sore thumb
Zay - the Anderson case
The best friends and NYPD partners look at each other
Lucas - not this one again not after what happened last night this is why I walked away last time
but almost losing his father and Riley to the case made him come back to work months after even if he was an ex-NYPD officer who left after the case
Zay - I think I know why we got the late shift after all he could be back to finish what he started months ago
Lucas looks at the case again
Lucas - not if we finish it first
That's the plan
