The two figures in ski caps looked at her. "Why would we do that
now?" A deep voice said to her.
"What are you doing up here?" she was in a fighting stance ready to take out the two thugs.
"You think you can take us on?" the one that had been lower raised himself. He was taller than the other one by about a foot.
"I know I can."
-By the van-
"What's taking Nancy so long?" Ned was worried. She should have checked in by now and she hadn't. She had been gone for thirty minutes.
"I'm going to go look for her." Ned began to walk back to the place.
"Ned if she's in trouble, don't play hero." Joe warned. He knew the dangers of the job. He also knew that she had a good reason for not contacting him. He didn't like the one possibility that ran through his mind though.
Joe went to the com link station in the van and tried to contact her but he got nothing but static. "Shoot!"

Katie- I think I like to leave cliffhangers. They leave you guys hanging and me a place to start when I'm ready to start a new chapter. I'll try to make this chapter longer because I'm late in updating. I didn't realize that I was.
Dancer51- I'm glad you like it. If you want to know some of what happens like I told you in the previous chapter you have to read A Christmas Story. I hope you have fun and when you do don't forget to review it!
Chapter 9
Nancy stood poised ready to fight. The two men flanked her as best they could. In their minds they were thinking, "Oh two against one. This should be easy." They had another thing coming though.
Nancy rolled her eyes as she recognized the tactics that they were using. They were going to try to overpower her. She looked around the roof to take a brief note of what lie where before the fight actually started.
The taller man threw a punch in her direction barely missing her face. She stepped away from him only to be met by a firm body on her back. 'Oh crap.' She thought to herself as she tried to dodge the next blow to her stomach. There was no way that she could though because the other man held her in place. "
"Keep at her. This is going to be fun!" He encouraged his friend. Nancy went limp in the man's arm.
"Oh she was not any fun at all." He said before he felt a blow on his stomach. He let go of Nancy allowing her enough time to prepare for the frontal assault. She sent a kick toward the other man's stomach but he didn't back up as the other one had when he had his wind knocked out of him.
"You think that will work on me."
"Well I thought that it was worth a try." Nancy dryly commented as she did a roundhouse kick toward the man that was coming behind her. She spotted the door that led to the roof and came up with an idea. She only hoped that it would work.
The two men backed her against the wall. They didn't see the pole that stood there. As the stood in a line formation she was able to grab a hold of the pole for support and kick with both of her legs at their chest. They both fell into the elevator but not before one of them shot her leg.
Ned stood over them with his arms crossed. "Thought that you could get away huh?" They looked confused when they saw Ned. Then they saw Nancy step into the elevator and push the down button.
"Ned you want to do the honors?" She handed him a couple of handcuffs.
"I'd be honored." He grinned at her. "So you bagged them all by yourself. At least I don't have to worry about them lecturing me about playing hero. They'll be lecturing you for not calling backup." He made the wry comment before she threw his a deadly look.
"Don't push your luck. You're only here because he couldn't help tonight." She shot at him.
"Still touchy about earlier dear?"
"Shut up." She seethed. "You're still going to pay for that stunt."
"Oh what happened earlier?" The shorter one smirked.
Nancy pulled off the ski mask that covered his face. "If you speak one more time you won't make it to the station." She threatened when she stepped out of the elevator. "Give me your COM link."
Ned did as he was told. He wasn't about to get her anymore upset than she was already. "Guys we're coming out with a couple of perpetrators." She said placing it in her ears.
"Nancy you scared us. Don't you ever pull that stunt again?" Joe said over the com.
She didn't comment as she opened the door to the warehouse.
At the police station the two men were now in the interrogation room when Joe and Ned were in the interrogation room. Nancy was walking away from the bathroom when she fell down to the ground. When she tried to push herself she couldn't help but yelp with surprise form the taping that ran up her leg.
Chet of course was being talked to by the chief for his statement of where he was when the fight went down. Nancy hadn't yet been called into speak to him. "Miss, are you alright?" A male voice said behind her.
"I'm fine." She pushed his hand away before trying to getup again only finding that she wasn't bale to get up.
"No you're not Miss." He swept her up into his arms.
"Unhand me!" She squirmed in his arms.
"You need help." He answered her.
"Help? I'll show you help of you don't put down this second!" She seethed at him.
"Let me at least look at your leg before you do anything to me?" he didn't like the dangerous gleam in her eyes. At the moment he could believe anything that she could pull on him if she wanted to.
"Nancy what are you doing?" Joe came out of the interrogation room.
"Joe, will you tell this guy to put me down? He seems to not know the value of a woman's word." She hit the man's chest as hard as she could. Joe could see the man flinch.
"Nancy I think that you're being a little rough on him." Joe gulped before he looked at the officer. "I think you better find a place to put the detective down." He hated it when she got like this.
The officer found a couple of chairs by a desk to set her in. "What are you doing?" She growled dangerously at him.
Joe watched with some intrigue. "You know that she is less likely to kill me. If you tell me what you are doing then maybe I can do it?" Joe suggested. He had seen Nancy assess her surroundings. He knew that she had found something that she could use if she had to. The officer stepped back and told Joe what he had seen.
Joe nodded before he walked to Nancy. "Okay Nan. Don't kill me." He pushed up her pant legs to see where a bullet had hit her lower left calf. "Get me a clean cloth he ordered the officer. He ripped the sleeve off his shirt and pressed it against the wound. "You didn't say that you had been hit by a bullet."
"What's going on here?" The chief came up behind them.
"She's been injured sir." Joe answered not looking up from what he was doing.
"What was she doing that she was injured?" The man growled. "You know this is why women don't belong on the police force."
At that Joe got up in his face. "She is the one that bagged those two crooks. She did it by herself by the way." Joe turned away. "You better stop this really fast. Last time I checked there were women that worked in your station."
"They work as dispatch not as top detectives." The man kept his glare on Nancy and his arms across his chest.
Nancy returned it with a steely cold gaze of her own that was until she felt Joe put some peroxide on her wound. "Nancy we'll have to get you to the hospital." Joe informed her.
"Fine. Do you mind though telling me what you found out from the masked men?" She asked.
"They were stealing art from the museum right by the building. They're not the men that they were looking for." Joe informed her sadly.
In the early morning hours Nancy limped into the house and up the stairs all the while pushing away anyone who tried to help her. She went to Frank's room. She noted that Bess was asleep with her head lying down on the mattress beside Frank's sleeping form still handcuffed to the bed.
"Bess. It's time to wake up. You did a good job." She dismissed her friend.
"Thanks Nancy. You know he's a lot easier to keep an eye on when he is chained up."
Nancy would normally chuckle but she couldn't because her leg was hurting her "I'll get him unchained."
Frank heard Nancy talking to Bess and waited 'til Bess left the room. "Nancy you took too long. It was supposed to be a sting." He waited for her to answer. He could tell by the look in her eyes by the dimly lit moon that something had happened.
Joe entered the room. "Frank do you think that you could keep her in one place tonight? The officer, Ned and I sure had a lot of trouble trying to do that. Her left calf is injured." Joe disappeared before Nancy had time to throw something at him.
"You need to stay in one place huh?" He joked.
"If you don't shut up you're going to stay locked up like that until I deem you worthy to get out of bed." Nancy shot at him.
Frank became quiet while she fiddled with the keys in her hand. When she got the cuffs off of him he took her and laid her down beside him. "Frank what are you doing?"
"Keeping you in one place." He answered.
- - - - Okay well I was going to make the chapter longer but that seems a really good place to end it. You know the drill. You have to give me a good and honest review.
