AN: Okay this is kinda short, but I'll make up for it. Please Review!!!
Mac woke up soon after his death, which he was thankful for considering the fact that he knew the police would be coming soon. It was slightly painful but he got up and walked over to Richie just as the younger man sat up gasping for air.
"Get up," Mac said. "We have to get out of here before the cops come."
Just as he said that sirens were already being heard in the distance. It wasn't like the dojo or antique store. He had neighbors and some of them were nosey. Hell even the ones who weren't would have called in gunshots.
Richie cried out as Duncan pulled him to his feet. "Take it easy Mac, I've never been shot before."
"Get used to it," The Highlander told him. "It probably won't be the last time."
The two men scrambled out of the door. They quickly went downstairs and took off in Duncan's TBird.
"Where are we going?" Richie asked.
"The warehouse," Mac said rounding the corner. "Connor will know to meet us there when he see's all the police cars."
"I thought Connor was taking care of McDaniels."
Duncan glanced over at his young friend. "I somehow doubt that McDaniels showed up."
Richie was almost healed, but his heart was still pounding. He didn't like where Mac was going with this. He didn't like it at all.
"You think it was a setup?"
Duncan nodded.
"But why? Connor was obvioiusly willing to meet him?"
"McDaniels mind is twisted Richie. He's sick."
"So are a lot of other immortals," Richie stated. "What's your point?"
Duncan sighed. "My point is that this is all a big game to McDaniels and Dri is just a pawn that he plans on using for much bigger plans."
"But I still don't understand why if Connor was willing to meet him? Why does he need Dri?"
MacLeod pulled up to the warehouse.
"When he saw Dri and Connor together he assumed that Dri was someone Connor cared about. If he can hurt Connor it makes taking his head that much more fun for him."
Richie's face paled as they got out of the car. "He's not going to.I mean.What if he?"
Duncan walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down. We both know that Dri can take care of herself. She's been through enough to know how to handle the situation."
"But McDaniels is stronger Mac. She can't take him."
"He also won't hurt her until he knows that Connor is either waching or listening. Even so she knows how to bide her time. She's safe for now."
Richie nodded. They walked into the warehouse and immediately felt the presence of another immortal. Mac swung around and had his sword half drawn, as did Richie, when Connor walked through the opening.
"Connor!" Duncan exclaimed. "We weren't expecting you so soon!"
"What's happened?" Connor asked.
"Dri's gone!" Richie said angrily.
He had felt reassured when Mac had talked to him a few moments ago, but now that he saw Connor he felt anger rising inside him. He was furious at the situation, but more so at Connor. This was all his fault.
"Richie, calm down," Duncan said.
"McDaniels has got her! How the hell are we going to find him?" He half yelled.
"It was a set up Connor," Mac said calmly. "Only instead of it being a set up at the bridge to get you, it was a set up to get Dri, and it worked."
Connor walked past them and sighed. "I didn't think he would do something like this. I knew he had been eyeing the young girl, but I didn't think he wanted her so badly as to do this."
"How did you get here so fast?" Richie suddenly asked.
Connor turned around and Richie walked up to him.
"You knew he was going to come after her didn't you?!"
"I had my suspicions when he wasn't at the bridge, yes. Although when I went back to the apartment it was too late to do anything. I must only have been seconds behind you. I could not have stopped him."
Richie looked back at Mac and smiled.
"He couldn't have stopped him Mac. Did you hear that?" He said as he turned around and gave Connor a right hook that sent him staggering.
Richie took another step towards Connor when Duncan grabbed him.
"Let go of me Mac!"
"Not until you calm down!"
"This could have all been prevented and you know it!" Richie screamed. "He knew that bastard was here and he let himself be seen with Dri!" He was still struggling against Macs hold.
"It's all right Duncan," Connor said when he regained his footing. "Let him go."
Mac hesitated but let go. Richie jerked away from him and walked up to Connor.
"What are you going to do? Hit me again?" The elder Highlander asked. "If it will satisfy you go ahead."
Richie stared at Connor, fury in his eyes. He was clenching his fists, his breathing heavy.
"You think I'm proud of this," Connor continued. "You think that I don't know that this is my fault? Trust me boy, you hitting me doesn't bother me, but the more time you waist, the more time goes by that McDaniels is with Dri."
Richie through his hands up. "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm just worried about her."
"We all are," Mac said coming up and putting a hand on his shoulder. "Come on. Lets go see Joe. Maybe he can help us find out where she is."
"That's your watcher friend isn't it?" Connor asked.
Duncan nodded. "He probably knows who's been watching McDaniels. At the very least he can give us his files."
Richie nodded and the three men walked out and got into the TBird. Next stop, Joe's Bar."
