Part 13 : Epilogue

Bailey was still on the floor with Tony and Sandy in his arms when Sam found him in the cellar. She pulled out her walkie-talkie and told the others to stop searching. She kneeled next to him and put her hand in his hair.

" They're all right." he said
" And you ?
- Hum, apart from the fact I've been assaulted by a little girl, I think I'm OK."

Sandy lifted her face at him. He kissed her on the forehead. "Sandy, Tony, this is Sam. She is with me". "Hi !" Sam said. She took Tony in her arms and stood up. Bailey moved to his feet, holding Sandy tight. They left the cellar and went up to join the others. They went out immediately and settled the children into one of the police cars outside the house. They didn't want the kids to see Miller.

Baldwin walked to them and gave Bailey the keys of the car.

" We'll clean the place." he said, " you don't have to stay. Take the kids to the CPD headquarters. I'll call the parents and tell them to join you there.
- Thanks Jerry. And ... sorry for your tire." The detective smiled. "Grace ?" Bailey called, "You come with us. I'd like you to examine the kids. John, we will wait for you at the station". The three agents settled in the car, and they moved off.

They arrived at the CPD headquarters a little after eleven. The Walsh were already there. Tony saw his mother and rushed into her arms. Sandy was holding Bailey's hand and she would not let it go. They all entered the police station very fast, as reporters were arriving. They went into Baldwin's office. Senator Walsh embraced his wife and son. Bailey sat in an armchair and Sandy immediately climbed in his lap.

Sam took the phone and called John to know the status. John Walsh walked to Bailey.

" Agent Malone," he started, " For the first time in my life, I don't know what to say." Bailey smiled. The senator hold out his hand toward him. "Thanks" he just said. Bailey took his hand. "I was just doing my job." he answered.

Virginia Wellow rushed into the room at this moment and Sandy jumped in her arms. The little girl and the young woman were both crying.

Bailey stood up and took Sam's elbow. "I think we have finished here." he said, "Let's go home now." They left the office with Grace. John was waiting for them in the hall. A police car took them to Chicago military airport, where the VCTF helicopter was ready to fly.

They boarded in, and it took off to Atlanta. The mood was rather cheerful on the way back. They were all relieved by the way the case was solved, and happy to go back home.

" Bailey, I think I underestimated you." Grace said. "After all, you may have intuition !". Sam and John laughed. "Bailey ?" Grace asked. As no answer came, she turned back and looked for her boss. Bailey was leaning against the cabin of the helicopter. He was sleeping.

" At last ..." Sam whispered. She moved close to him. The hell with what her colleagues could think. Bailey was the man she loved. It was the only thing that mattered now. She took his head and laid it delicately on her shoulder. He moaned. She gently stroke his hair. She took his hand and kissed it. "Shht ... " she whispered "Sleep my love. I'm here ..."
