T was all over now the true love of her Life was dead.

As soon as Michael has raised his hand to stop him she new one of the would not come out of this alive.

But as she watched the body fly through the air crashing into a nearby display her urge to cry out to stop him was overtaken by her urge to not be found out.

The truth then hit Maria DeLuca like a blow to the head. She had been putting her friends in danger for the love of one man.


Pierce........

*FLASHBACK*
"WHO ARE YOU?" she had shouted at the man who lay naked in the bed underneath her.

"What do ya mean Ria?" he questioned knowing clearly what she meant.

She rolled of him "Well I think your Deputy Jon Hanson but your not are you?"

He rolled over to look into her eyes "No I'm not my name is Daniel Pierce and I'm a member of the special unit of the FBI...oh and I'm hunting your friends! Is that what you wanted to hear huh? Is it Maria?

"No of course not its just a bit hard discovering the man you love is not who you thought he was!"

"You love me?"

"Course I love you" She replied taking his face into her hands and kissing him deeply

"Good cause I love you too" he replied kissing her back and lying her back down

"Show me how much Daniel," she whispered huskily

And they re-entered their own little world of lovemaking they forgot about everything and everyone.

*END FLASHBACK*

The tears she shed were not of sadness out of Michael dumping her but of anger at Michael for killing the only love of her life and great grief at the death of her love. Her true love

Daniel Michael (irony?) Pierce

Love that could never be replaced!
