Theresa quickly walked through the police station. That morning after falling asleep she had gotten a call that Fox had been arrested. Thoughts began to run through her mind. What could have went wrong? She thought Ethan had did what she told him and left so Fox wouldn't have hurt anyone.
"Theresa." Luis said as she appeared around the corner.
"Luis, where is he?" she asked out of breath.
Luis nodded towards the interrogation room and let her in. He closed the door behind her and Theresa walked over to where Fox was sitting.
"Fox, what happened?" she asked.
Fox didn't answer her.
"Fox, are you ok?" she said trying to give him a hug.
Fox moved away.
"Fox, please don't do this." Theresa cried out desperately.
"You did it." Fox said through clenched teeth, angry at Theresa's betrayal.
"I did what?" Theresa asked wanting answers.
"You picked up that phone and called Ethan and it was all a trap."
"What do you mean it was a trap?" she pressed on.
"The police were there waiting for me! Ethan...Ethan had on a bullet proof vest." he said angrily.
"Oh God." Theresa said standing up. "Fox, I swear to you that's not what I meant to happen."
"I don't care if it was what you meant to happen or not! You betrayed me."
"No no no. Fox I didn't betray you." she said in between tears. "I, I called Ethan so that he would leave the mansion so you would get there and see he wasn't there and leave. I didn't want you to throw your life away, Fox."
"Well, here I am." he said bitterly. "Its all because of you."
"Fox, please, please believe me. I would never..." she began to sob hating that Fox believed she betrayed him. She pulled herself together and sat down on the table in front of him. "Look in my eyes." she said softly.
Fox hesitated but did as she said.
"I did not betray you." she said truthfully.
Fox looked in Theresa's eyes and the iron wall that he was trying to build suddenly melted. "God, I'm so sorry that I even thought you did." he said taking her face in his hands and kissing her. "I love you so much that it was breaking me inside to even think that."
"It's ok, we're going to get through this together." she said smiling as she felt Fox's kisses shower her face.
"Look," Fox said stroking her hair, "I want you to take the kids out of the country, ok? I want you to go to one of the vacation houses until all of this is over, alright."
Theresa pulled back and immediately began to shake her head. "No, no. I won't hear of it!" she objected. "I'm staying here with you, you need me."
"Look, the only way that I can make it through this hearing peacefully is knowing that you and the kids are safe. That's all that matters to me." he said pleading with her.
Theresa looked at him and sighed. "Fine. Fine, we'll go. Just promise me you'll be ok."
"I promise." he said kissing her.
They were suddenly interrupted by Woody. "Excuse me but I have a case to put together." he said motioning for Theresa to leave.
Theresa nodded and slowly began to walk to the door. Just as she approached the door she turn to Fox and he mouthed 'I love you' to her. He blew her a kiss and Theresa caught it, promising to forever cherish it.

Theresa paced back and forth through the hotel suite. It had been two weeks since she had last seen Fox and it was driving her crazy. Her arms felt empty and her heart ached for him. The hearing was taking too long and she was angry that Ethan insisted on pressing charges against Fox. She had to do something. She hated waiting for results when she knew there was something that she could do to get the results she wanted. She quickly picked up the phone and arranged for a babysitter to stay with the kids. She was going to pay a visit to Ethan.

Ethan sighed as he heard the knock on his door. "Gwen, I told you I'm busy." he said angrily as he took a sip of his drink.
"It's not Gwen." a familiar voice said.
The door suddenly opened and Theresa stood in the doorway. Her eyes were glazed over and she looked as if she were in a trance.
"Theresa." Ethan mumured quickly standing up to greet her. He paused when he looked down at her right hand to see her holding a gun.
"Whoa." he said taking a step back. "Why do you have a gun in your hand?"
A tear rolled down Theresa's face as she looked at him. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" she asked him.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Ethan, I know that you think destroying Fox is a way to get me back..." she said drifting off.
"Look, why don't we talk about this when you're not holding a gun." he said trying to reason with her.
"No." she yelled. "I know what you're up to Ethan. That night that you called me away from my family made me see. You think if you destroy Fox I'll run into your arms."
"Look, Theresa...all I said was that I still care for you-"
"And you care for me by setting my husband up, Ethan? Ethan, I told you to get out of the mansion...hell, out of town if you had to but what did you do? You put on a bulletproof vest and you called the cops. How could you do this Ethan?" Theresa screamed angrily.
"Fox doesn't love you, Theresa. Not in the way that I do." Ethan answered calmly.
"That's where you're wrong. Fox DOES love me, but you're right about him not loving me the way you do. Unlike you, Fox is the only one who can love my heart and soul completely. You never came close and you never will."
"Now that we have that point stated, put the gun down." he said pointing at the gun.
Theresa shook her head and slowly lifted the gun as more tears began to flow. "I'm giving you an ultimatum. Either I kill you right now or you drop all charges against Fox."
"Theresa! That's impossible!" he yelped.
Theresa fingered the trigger, "About me killing you? You don't really need lessons to pull the trigger on a gun, Ethan."
"Theresa, you're just really hurt right now-"
"Stop telling me how I feel! Now answer my ultimatum."
"Fine." Ethan said seeing that she was serious. "I'll drop the charges against Fox."
"Good." Theresa said still not letting go of the gun.
"Did you hear me? I'll drop the charges so put the gun down." he said nervously.
"Not until I see you call the station right here, right now and tell them." she demanded.
Ethan looked at Theresa and sighed. He reached over to the phone and dialed the number to the police station.
"Sam, it's Ethan. Yeah..everythings ok, I just uh, I want to drop charges against Fox....Yes, I'm sure....Yeah, I'm just having second thoughts thats all....Alright....bye."
Ethan turned to Theresa as he hung up the phone. "There."
Theresa closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief as she put the gun in her purse.
"You're so brave." Ethan said admiring her. "That's what I love about you."
"Thank you Ethan for dropping charges." she said sharply. "It was a pleasure doing business with ya." she flashed a fake smile and quickly left.

Fox sighed as he threw his keys down on the table. It had been a long couple of weeks and he was glad to finally be home. Suddenly Theresa came bounding down the stairs to meet him.
"Fox!" she said excitedly. She jumped into the arms of a suprised Fox and wrapped her arms around him tight.
"Theresa?" he said letting go. "I thought I sent you out of town."
"I know, but I couldn't stay away." she said smiliing. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too babe." he said kissing her. "I'm so glad Ethan dropped the charges. I wonder what made him do that."
"Yeah, that was nice of him." she said innocently as she remembered the night before. "But lets not think about that right now."
"Let's concentrate on something else." Fox said as he pulled her lips into a firey kiss.
"The kids are sleep." she said in between kisses.
Fox just moaned as the kisses got more passionate.
Theresa suddenly let go to get a breath of air. "Welcome home." she whispered.
Fox smiled and pulled her into another kiss leaving all his worries behind.
"Theresa." Luis said as she appeared around the corner.
"Luis, where is he?" she asked out of breath.
Luis nodded towards the interrogation room and let her in. He closed the door behind her and Theresa walked over to where Fox was sitting.
"Fox, what happened?" she asked.
Fox didn't answer her.
"Fox, are you ok?" she said trying to give him a hug.
Fox moved away.
"Fox, please don't do this." Theresa cried out desperately.
"You did it." Fox said through clenched teeth, angry at Theresa's betrayal.
"I did what?" Theresa asked wanting answers.
