BANG!
Chris dropped the gun and fell to the floor.
Catherine looked over to the doorway and saw Brass with his gun pointed toward the spot where Chris had been standing.
"You okay Catherine?" He walked to her and helped her up.
"Yeah, Gil was shot though" she ran to him
Brass walked out of the room and came back with two paramedics and they took Gil to the hospital.
Brass led Catherine outside to another ambulance.
Catherine was sitting in the ambulance when she heard Lindsey calling her.
"Mommy, mommy" Lindsey ran to her mother and hugged her " Uncle Gil found you mommy, he promised he would and he did."
Catherine hugged the little girl and started to cry
"Mommy?" Lindsey wiped her mom's tears away " are you okay?"
Catherine nodded her head
"Yeah baby, mommy's fine. It's just that uncle Gil got hurt trying to help mommy and I missed you so much."
Brass questioned Catherine at the scene and told her she should go to the hospital. When Catherine refused telling him she was fine he offered to drive her home.
Brass walked Catherine inside and turned to her
"If you need anything just call me okay"
"Yes Jim I will call you f we need anything, but I will be fine I promise Thanks again though"
Brass turned and walked out
"Hey Jim" she called " Tell Gil thank you"
Brass nodded
"You know I will"
With that Brass got in hid car and drove off
Catherine locked her door and went to Lindsey's bedroom.
Lindsey was in be waiting for her mom to tuck her in.
"Mommy" Lindsey sat up in her bed " I told uncle Gil about Chris" she paused " are you mad?"
Catherine kissed her forehead
"No baby you did the right thing" Catherine hugged her " I love you" Catherine stood up to leave the room
"Lindsey"
"Yeah mommy"
"Why did you come home early?"
Lindsey sat up in her bed again
"I missed you too much and I was worried that he might hurt you if I was not here."
Lindsey lay back down
"Good night mommy I love you"
Catherine closed her daughter's door and walked down the hallway to the living room and sat on the couch.
She sat in the dark for a while and slowly her eyes bean to close and she fell asleep.
