Note: Okay, now here's the next chapter and I don't mind getting tips and constructive reviews, but NOT critical reviews. So to Anon, thank you for your opinion, I know in life people can be like that, but people who do that I don't pay any attention to. So as you can see, I didn't hesitate to remove yours and Mary's comments. I think criticism is disrespectful and I won't accept it, and only people who tell me my mistakes nicely are the people I listen to. I have noticed on some other fics by other authors, that there have been some pretty rude reviews, as well (not by you, but others). So I just want to say to those people, that we're here to have fun and criticize all you want because it won't stop us from having fun and enjoying what we're doing. So I hope I haven't come across as a b**ch , because I'm really not like that, I just would like this place to be more peaceful and have people be respectful towards each other. After all, this place is just for enjoyment!

Anyways, thanks for listening, you all are cool, and enjoy this next chapter!:-D **

Mark could hardly believe what he was hearing. "Another accident?"

The chief nodded silently and cleared his throat. "Yes. No one was hurt, but we think it was a sign from Mike Pearson."

Mark cringed. Even a sign wasn't a good thing. "So what happened?"

"Well, it was Dr. Travis's car. It exploded about five minutes ago. Now it could possibly have been because something was naturally wrong with the car itself, but-"

"But you know and I both know that it was intentional," Mark interrupted.

The chief sighed and nodded in agreement, not wanting to admit the real truth. He knew that Mark was already upset with what happened with Steve, and now this guy was going after some other people close to him. All he knew was that he needed more protection for Jesse and Amanda and anyone else he could think of and stop this guy once and for all. He respected all of the fab four, and he wasn't going to let a deranged criminal get a hold of them. He would put a stop to that for sure.

"Well don't worry Mark, we'll get this guy if it's the last thing we do."

Mark looked off in the distance with concern and hatred in his eyes. "Yeah, but how much more? How much more is he going to destroy the people I most care about before we catch him?"

"I don't know, Mark. I wish I knew. But we're going to work around the clock to get him. You have my personal guarantee."

Mark shook his head. "As much as I respect you, Chief, that just isn't enough. Nothing will be enough until we finally catch this guy."

"Look, Mark, I hate to ask this, but what if by some chance it isn't Mike Pearson? I mean you have a lot of enemies."

"No. None like him. It's him. I can feel it. And he's going to pay. I'll make sure of it." **

Mike Pearson smiled as he drove away from Community General. Cops were swarming the place looking for any signs of and clues as to what happened to Jesse's car. They may not be sure who did it, but he knew Mark Sloan. He knew that Mark figured out it was him.

"Hope you're on edge with fear right now, doc, because as soon as I get done with you, you'll be way over the edge. So I'll see you in hell, Sloan. You can be sure of it." **

Jesse groaned, as he buried his head in his hands. "My car... My beautiful car... I can't believe Sally's gone..."

Amanda patted him on the back. "Aw, it's okay, Je- Sally?"

Jesse put his hands down and gave Amanda a snooty glance. "Well yeah, my car. Cool cars like that deserve to have names. But no. Now there's no more Sally, because Sally went KA-BOOM!! OH WHY?! WHY?!"

"Jessie, calm down! It's just a-"

"No! Don't you say it was just car! Don't you DARE!!"

Amanda nodded, and bit her lip to keep from cracking up. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. ...We could have a memorial service if you want."

Jessie looked up at her with disgust. "Cute. Real cute, Amanda. Go ahead, make jokes."

Amanda suddenly caught herself laughing, but suddenly stopped herself. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry, really, I'm done... For now anyway."

Jesse just glared at her when Mark walked in, looking as if he had aged ten years. Amanda and Jesse just sat in silence knowing how hard this had to be for him. He had hurt Steve, and could have hurt Jesse, and now Amanda or anyone else could be in danger. Enemies had come after him before, but none like this guy. He was totally changing Mark, physically and emotionally and they yet didn't have a way to stop this guy. However, they both knew Mark wasn't going to rest until this guy was caught, and that was a promise that was known without being said.

Finally the silence became too much and Amanda took the liberty of breaking it. "Mark?"

Mark continued to stare off into space and suddenly turned his head to face Amanda and Jesse. "I have to stop this guy if it's the last thing I do."

"Yeah, but Mark, this isn't healthy. This guy is tearing you apart," Amanda stated.

"Yeah, I agree, that's why I think I should stop him!" Jesse agreed.

"Oh yeah, that'd be real good. What are you going to do?"

Jesse hesitated a moment. "I know a little karate," he replied in a nervous voice.

Amanda nodded with a yeah-right look on her face. "Mm, hm. Well I think in that case even Steve would fight better than you, even in the condition he's in now."

"Aw, well at least I- SALLY!!"

"Who's Sally?" Mark interrupted, slightly confused.

Amanda rolled her eyes. "His car."

Mark slightly grinned, something Amanda thought she would never see out of him again. "Oh. I see. Well don't worry, Jess, we'll get this guy."

Jessie sighed and nodded, looking down at his hands. "Yeah, I guess..."

Mark rubbed his eyes. There was no guess about it. He was going to get this guy if it were the last thing he did. He admitted he was a little tired of thinking hateful thoughts, but when his son, and best friend's lives were threatened, that was enough to get his hateful side to surface. He only hoped that this would all end soon- before he hurt someone else close to him- possibly even kill them. But he would stop him before that would happen. He would make dead sure of it.
