Pain Of The Heart

Vanessa knew that someone should so it would mine as well be her. Looking over at Hailey she began. "So I was told not to tell you, thing is I need to as your partner roommate and friend." Hailey held up her hand "then why are you if shouldn't" that was when it she heard it another song that reminded her of Hank and his wise words. "Glory Of Love by Peter Cetera" funny thing is she could make this her wedding song. Giggling where her mind went to. All she wanted was to run into his arms. Seeing how Hank had Lucia that would be bad. They would really need to take it slow. Plus Hank and herself would be good, but then again as his kitten. Giggling again, Hailey looked over at Vanessa "sorry was thinking something funny." Hailey looked straight ahead of her. Heading back to the station house. Vanessa grabbed her arm. "Look, you need to know this before you get out of this car." Taking a deep breath, Hailey was shaken her head. "Someone threatened Sargent's life. Lucia is up there as well. So far the bomb tech's could not find anything in the house. Still he and Lucia are under safe protection." Before Vanessa could explain more Hailey bolted. Trudy grabbed her. "you can not go up there until you been restated." Trudy knew it was painful for the girl to hear. All she could was hug her. So Trudy just this one did something kind for the girl, climbing the fourth step with Hailey in tow, Vanessa finally catching up. "When people say do not tell anybody that includes Hailey that means do not tell Hailey." Hailey bolted passed Trudy noticing that nobody was there, then she seen the little girl with the caramel color hair big brown eyes with freckles that was when Lucia seen her, took off with her doll in her hand and cried into Hailey's arms.

Hank stood in the door way of his office, his daughter begging to see the "pretty lady" again. Hank showed her photos of the girls in his unit her finger landed on Hailey's. Yeah guess his daughter knew as well. Now here was Hailey in the flesh. Though he knew by the look Trudy was given Vanessa she told her. Great now Hailey's was going to worry about him now. Just what he needed someone to lose sleep over himself.

Not wanting to break up the bonding moment he waved his finger to Vanessa that was when she was walked into his office. With the door closed, along with the blinds. "Do you know why I told everybody not to Hailey? For one she is not a cop, two, she will try now to get a gun to protect me, third, she treats that little girl like a sister." Hank knew daughter would not be the right set of words for anybody. But that is how he sees Hailey's reaction to Lucia. Bad enough they have yet to find the people who hurt the little girl. That was when Hailey opened the door. "What if the people she ran away from found out you adopted the child decided to put a hit on you?" Hailey's thinking process came to her as the child slept.

Hank leaned forward just then, "if that is the case how would they know where to look. My name is really well known, then again so is messing with my family." Hailey knew that was true to the word. Vanessa for some reason felt like the conversation ended. "What if they work in the state department? Think about real quick what if the girl was a seller to someone higher, Sargent found her under his desk, with no next of kin. They hired someone to kill her parents I mean its no so far fetched."

"Alright then Vanessa go look into that", Vanessa got up and shut the door. That was Hailey ran into his arms and cried. Hank kissed her head, as he held her. His kitten was safe, one down two more to go. Hank knew he had a family protect so help him he fight like hell.
