Chandler walked in the apartment and flicked on the light. He filled Monica in on his plan and they were going to leave tomorrow. Chandler dropped his keys on the table and started to walk towards his room. That's when he saw him.
" I'm glad you decided to come home. So… you like my wife. Huh?"
" Kevin."
" Chandler."
" What are you doing here?"
" Well, I decided to stop by a few days earlier than planned. Hey Frankie, could you come here for a moment." He snapped his fingers and a big burly guy emerged from the bedroom.
" Frank the drinker." Chandler mumbled.
" I had him follow you the past week since you had an unusual change in your voice. You weren't begging to come home anymore. From what I hear you've been getting kind of cozy with my wife. My wife! Chandler how could you do this! Stealing my wife behind my back, that's the kind of crap you see on talk shows but you never expect it to happen to you!"
" Hold on. What do you mean stealing your wife? You've got some never to still call her your wife! A wife is someone you love and care for; not someone you slap around when you feel like it!"
" Don't you catch an attitude with me! So our marriage is going through a rough patch. That doesn't excuse what you did! You have committed a sin and you've shown your disrespect for me. Frank, show him what we do to people who are disrespectful." Kevin sat back in the chair and Frank started to crack his knuckles as he moved towards Chandler. Chandler panicked and reached behind him and pulled out a gun. Frank stopped for a moment and put his hand up but then stated to walk towards Chandler again. Chandler tried to pull the trigger but it wouldn't work. Frank knocked the gun out of his hand and pinned him to the wall.
" You forgot the safety. You can't shoot if the safety's on the gun." With every word Chandler got a whiff of bad breath and whiskey blown into his face. Frank held Chandler higher against the wall and started to punch him in the side.
" Ugh! I can feel the internal bleeding."
" You like that Chandler! You want some more!" He pulled him into a headlock. His sweat was dripping from his armpit into Chandler's hair. He repeatedly slammed Chandler against the wall. Frank then dropped him to the floor and started to kick.
" Alright that's enough. I think we made our point." Frank stopped, sat down and pulled out a flack and took a gulp of whiskey. This was how he got the name 'Frank the drinker'. After every beating he gave someone, he would take a drink from his flask. He offered Kevin a cigarette.
" No, thanks. It's a nasty habit." Chandler chuckled at the irony. This man could commit federal offences, adultery, steals and hurts his loved ones but to him, smoking is a nasty habit. " Let's go. See ya around Chandler and you really should get some ice for that." As soon as Kevin and Frank left, Chandler limped to the phone and dialed Monica's number.
" Hello."
" Mon, get the kids and get out of the house now!"
" Huh?"
" Kevin's here and he might be heading over there. Go to the spot we talked about."
" Okay."
" Are Phoebe and Sam there too?"
" No, they took Ashley out."
" Call them and tell them not to return to the house. I'll meet you and Adam at the place."
" Okay bye." Chandler went into his closet and grabbed his police belt. He took his keys and headed out the door.
*****
Chandler swung open the door and ran to Monica.
" Hey, you got em?"
" Yeah," He replied. " Where's Adam?"
" Up in that office."
" I knew you'd lead us to her." Chandler turned around and of course Kevin was standing there with Frank who held Adam and had a gun to his head.
" Adam! I swear if you hurt him I will kill you!" Monica yelled. She lunged forward but Chandler held her back.
" Hello Sweetie," Kevin greeted with a smile.
" Hi, Satan."
" Did Chandler teach you to talk back to me? He must have been a great lay to make you become so rude."
" I'll show you a great lay! I'll lay my fist against your face!" Monica screamed. She tried to wriggle out of Chandler's grip but he held her firmer.
" Let her go! She knows what will happen if she tries to hit me. So what's all this about anyway. Why did you choose a warehouse to meet? Were you trying to make this into a scene from some low-budget action movie? Oh by the way, where's my daughter? I've got my son, but where's my daughter?"
" Far away from you. I'm not giving my sister to a but-munch like you." Adam added.
" See this really hurts. Now you're teaching the kids to hate me too. That's just low Monica."
" I didn't teach him anything. He's smart. He learned the truth on his own."
" I agree with that. The truth is that you are a corrupt, power hungry…. criminal." A voice came from the shadows. Monica and Chandler smiled at each other.
" And who the hell are you?" Kevin asked. A bald, middle-aged man with a stern look on his face walked forward. Frank pointed the gun at him and Adam took this chance to run to Monica's side.
" Joe Micheals." He flashed his badge and two officers appeared behind him and another one on the other side of Frank and Kevin. " Mr. Guy, I have been following you ever since you paid one of your associates to kill my brother. Turns out you've killed a lot more than that. 6 to be exact. Let's not forget all the money laundering and racketeering. It's like your running a mob. Luckily, I received a fax that had all of the records I need to bring you down."
" Yeah, you can thank me for that." Chandler beamed.
" You sneaky, son of a bitch!" Kevin yelled.
" So I've got a warrant for your arrest and three armed officers. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your decision." Kevin gave Frank a look.
" Hard!" Kevin pulled out his gun and grabbed Monica while Frank took down the officer that was next to him and the other two shot him down. Kevin had Monica and started to back away. " Put your weapons down or she's a goner." No one moved and Kevin looked at Chandler.
" Drop the guns!" Chandler yelled. They started to lower them. Kevin felt something on the back of his head.
" Turn around and you'll be a goner." Samantha said cooly. " You better leave my daughter alone."
" Okay, okay." Kevin let go of Monica and in one swift movement shot Samantha.
" Mom!" Monica ran to Samantha's side while the cops held Kevin. " Someone get her an ambulance!"
******
Moments later they all found themselves outside a hospital room. Kevin was taken away by a police officer and Samantha laid in the room on a white linen bed and was hooked up to numerous machines. Chandler held Monica and Phoebe sat close by with Adam and Ashley.
" Is Sam gonna be okay?" Adam asked.
" We don't know yet. The doctors have to tell us what's going on." Phoebe replied.
" Momma," Ashley jumped off the chair and ran to Monica.
" What's wrong baby doll?"
" I wan juice!"
" How about I take these two downstairs to get some dinner." Phoebe suggested.
" Thanks Pheebs." The three started to walk towards the elevator and Monica turned to Chandler. " So what happens now?"
" The trial. Kevin will probably get life in jail without you even having to go on the stand."
" Okay, but what about us? Where are we in terms of a relationship."
" Well, where are you going to live?"
" I think I'm gonna stay here. Where I can get a fresh start."
" Then I think I need a fresh start too." Chandler smiled. Monica snuggled closer to him.
" We can take things slow."
" Definitely. We have to think about Adam and Ashley."
" Yeah but I think this will work out."
" Oh yeah, why do you say that?"
" Because I have faith and you should too."
" Oh I do. I do."
The end! Yay! I'm thinking about making a epilogue but I'm not sure. So how did you like it? Review!!!!!
