Disclaimer: Don't own anything

~~~~~Two weeks later~~~~~

      The bullet hit her and, she fell to the floor, as her world went black her last thoughts were to god praying he help her through this so she could stay alive, so she could stay with her family.

~~~~~One hour later~~~~~

      Margaret kissed Zack on the cheek and they said their good byes as they went to work.  Margaret had an assignment to do and it was to take pictures of Seattle streets and life.  She figured the last picture she could take of the Seattle streets was of the alleyway behind the penthouse.  She heard a noise she called out but no one answered as she was turning around she heard the click of the safety on a gun go off.

~~~~~Downtown Seattle abandoned warehouse~~~~~

      There are two people sitting down and talking about something.....planning something.....something bad. It's a man and women they look about mid twenties.  The guy starts to say something to the girl.....

Man: So we'll call detective Jacks Angelo and tell him we have reason to believe that she was the one that murdered his wife.

Girl: What if he wants proof?

Man: Well we'll tell him we don't have it but that two people can id her at the scene of the crime.

Girl: What if the guys back out and rat us out?

Man: They won't, not if they want there money.

(Girl smiles)

Man: So the plan: Call Detective Angelo tell him she was the murderer. Fax him a picture of her give him an address of where she lives and where the "witnesses" can be contacted at and once he believes she's the murderer he'll find her and he'll go as far as to kill her.

      An evil grin spreads across both their faces.

~~~~~Logan's Penthouse~~~~~

Nikki (running into Logan's office): Daddy go walk, go walk!

Logan (smiling): Nikolet do you wanna go for a walk?

Nikki: Yes peaze.

Logan: Okay grab your coat and we'll go.

      As they came out the penthouse building they both heard a gunshot noise that took there attention to the alleyway. Nikki started running to the alley before Logan could stop her.

~~~~~Abandoned Warehouse~~~~~

Man (with a cover up voice): Yes Detective Angelo please?

Secretary: One moment please.

Angelo: Angelo Here

Man: Yes I have reason to believe that Margaret Hanover was the one that murdered your wife.

Angelo: Wha---

      He hung up before he could say more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Before Jacks could do anything a fax came to him with a picture of the "murderer" and where she was going to be. He did some research and was off.

~~~~~Present~~~~~

      As her world went black her last thought was to god for him to help her through this so she could live.....so she could go back to her family. Nikki came running down the alleyway and Logan right behind her. What Nikki saw shocked her incredibly.

Nikki: Aunt Magwet.

Logan: Oh my god!

      He called 911 and ten minutes later the ambulance came and took her away. Logan informed everyone and they all met down at the hospital only to find out that Margaret had lost a lot of blood and if they didn't get her type within the next few days then her chances of recovery were slim to none. Not to mention the fact that she had lost the baby and everyone was devastated especially Zack but that was to be expected. The last thing Zack remembered was that Nikki was trying to make out the words of "Is Aunt Margaret going to be okay?" but since she's only one but still has genetically enhanced genes she's bound to be no clear. Max told her that she wasn't sure. After that Zack new what he had to do to save his wife.
