Hey everyone,

This is the first part of a Tom and Margo fanfiction story I have

thought of. I also think this could make a neat storyline on the

show if the writers ever decide to give them a story. This is my

first fanfiction so let me know what you think or if you have any

ideas as to how it should continue. Also if you are writing your own

fanfiction about atwt then I would love to read it. Please post it

here or send it to me at mandy5820@aol.com.. Anyway, here is my story.

Every Minute Counts

Chapter One

Place: Tom and Margo's house

7:30 am Monday

Margo: Casey, hurry up, you are going to be late for school.

Casey: Alright Mom I am coming

Margo and Casey say goodbye and Margo starts getting ready for work.

Tom: You got anything special going on today.

Margo: No, I have a stack of paperwork on my desk that I have to

finish.

Tom: Ok, good luck. Have you taken your medication?

Margo: Yes and I have the afternoon dose in my pocket like I always

do. You know you don't have to worry, I am doing much better since I

had the liver transplant.

Tom: I always worry, honey but I am glad you are doing better.

Margo: You are such a good husband. (she looks at the clock) OMG I

am going to be late. I love you.

Tom: I love you too. Try to take it easy.

Margo: bye

Margo leaves and drives to the station.

Oakdale Police Station

8:00 am Monday

Margo: hey Jack, please tell me this is going to be a slow day cause

I got a ton of paperwork that Hal has been badgering me for.

Jack: sorry to spoil your fun Hughes, but I am afraid I just got a

call about a break in and with Hal out of town we need everyone we

can get.

Margo: Ok. What are the details?

Jack: Barbara Ryan called earlier and said that she thought someone

had broke into her house and was still lurking around.

Margo: Ok I will go check it out. Are you going to follow me there?

Jack: Yeah, Ill be there as soon as I can. Please be careful.

Margo: I will

Outside Barbara's Home

9:00 am

Margo shows up at Barbara's house and at first doesn't see anything

abnormal so she looks around when suddenly she hears this weird sound

coming from the back of the house. She pulls out her gun and with

her brain in cop mode she carefully goes to the back of the house.

Margo: (shouting) Who's there? I am a police officer and I am armed

so I suggest you show yourself.

Just then someone dressed in all black comes from behind her and hits

her in the head knocking her to the ground and her gun to the side of

her. He then drags her unconscious body away.

to be continued...

Who attacked Margo?

Will Tom and the other police officers find her before it is too

late?
