Chapter 12:
Hailey had instructed Greg to stay at the lab so that he would be under protection, he also knew that Nick could help her more than he could so he reluctantly agreed. She sat in her apartment reading her book feeling a little safer that she knew Nick and Brass, among other cops, were doing surveillance. She didn't have a picture of him, but Grissom gave Brass his name and it turned out that Jacob Malvoy had a record in the past and was able to get a picture from the files.
She was staring off into space when the phone rang. Ever since the first time she had hoped that Jacob would be leaving her alone, now as she heard the phone ring again she was hoping that it was Jacob. "Hello?"
"So you've got your little friend protected by the lab, huh?" Jacob spoke.
"I was hoping we could talk." She said bravely.
"And what would we be discussing?" He asked humored by her request.
"You obviously didn't come here to kill Greg, if you want me, why don't you come in here and take me. Do what ever you want to me, just leave him out of it." She said a tear sliding down her cheek.
"What if I take your boyfriend Nick instead?"
"Look, I'm willing to go with you, or do what ever it is you want me to do. If you want to kill me then come and do it, but leave them out, they haven't done anything." She said trying to persuade him to come in so Brass could arrest him.
"What's to say I don't kill you and then go after them?"
"Because I know you, and I know that you don't kill unless you have a reason to." There was a click on the other end and she knew that any moment now Jacob would be entering her home. She put the phone down and wished that Nick was there to tell her everything would be alright. She sat there not knowing how long it would be until Jake got there. Five minutes later there was a knock at the door. She walked over, raised a shaky hand to the door, and opened it. She was face to face with the man she hated most in the world. The man who had killed her best friends, and had made her life a living hell.
"Move." He said.
Nick and Brass saw a man fitting Jacob's description walk into Hailey's building. Nick crept out of the car and followed Jacob into the building, careful so as not to be seen. Brass had given Hailey a bug so that he could hear what was going on.
Hailey stepped aside and let Jacob in, closing the door. Jake removed his coat and she saw his gun attached to his hip.
"Come here sugar." He said. Hailey slowly moved towards him, unaware and frightened of what he was going to do to her. He leaned into her and kissed her. She had never felt so dirty in her entire life. Just then there was a knock at the door. He pulled the gun from his hip and pointed it to Hailey. "Who did you bring here?" He asked quietly.
"No one. I swear, I have no idea who it is."
"Get rid of them." He said walking to the door. She opened the door so that only her head stuck out, as Jake hid behind the door holding a gun to her.
"Hey." Nick said sounding casual. "I came by to see if you wanted to have dinner tonight."
"Not tonight Nick, sorry." She shut the door and turned back to Jacob.
Jacob was about to start his torture again when there was another knock. "Shit." Jake said. "Bring the fucker in."
"No, Jacob I'll get rid of him." She pleaded.
"It's to late for that."
She took a breath and opened the door letting Nick in. He walked in and saw Jacob holding a gun to him. "Hailey come here, come behind me." He said trying to protect her.
"Hailey. Here, now!" Jacob commanded snapping his right hand, the gun in his left. Hailey looked at Nick then hung her head and walked over to Jake. "Drop all of your guns." Nick unhooked his gun and threw it down. "Hailey get the detector from my jacket." She found a small metal detector on the inside of his jacket. "Now check him." Nick held out his arms as Hailey checked for weapons. His ankle beeped, "Take it off and throw it over there Hailey, or I'll kill him." Hailey took Nicks spare gun and threw it across the room. "Now get back over here." Jacob watched the two interact, he was being set up. He kept the gun pointed at Nick, who had his hands in the air, and called Hailey closer. He grabbed her by the back of the neck very forcefully.
Nick took a step forward but stopped when Jacob threatened to kill her. "Did you set me up bitch?"
"No, I swear."
"You're a fuckin liar, a fuckin lying whore." He roughed her up slapping her across the face. "You tried to trick me huh?"
"No." She said pleading with him.
"It was a fuckin trap." He said pointing back and forth from Nick to Hailey.
"NO! Fuckin' A. The trap wasn't for you." Hailey said from the floor.
Jacob narrowed his eyes to her. "What are you talking about? Two seconds ago you were beggin me not to kill him."
"The trap was for him. I wanted you think that I cared about him so you would kill him." She said nodding her head towards Nick. She stood up and walked over to Jacob. "He's the only one that would stand in our way. I need to get rid of him in order to leave with you."
"Let me get this straight. You got me here to kill him so you would willing leave with me?"
"Originally. But now that I see him, I want to kill him. I've had a little expierience holdng a gun and I kinda like it. It makes me feel all warm and tingly inside." She said moving closer. "I want to be with you Jake, and this asshole is the only person stopping me from doing so."
"So I'll kill him right here, right now." He said as he took aim.
"No, I want to 'take care' of him Jake. I want to have a little fun." Hailey said kissing Jacob hard on the lips, moving her tongue with his. "The only one I love is you. I never cared about him, he couldn't measure up to the best I've ever had, but hey a girls gotta get laid somehow. And the only reason I didn't want you to do it was because I know it will turn you on to see me do it."
"You've changed sugar. You're a bad ass now huh?" Jacob said getting a little turned on by her actions.
She reached down and felt his crotch through his pants. "You should see how bad I can be."
"First we get rid of him." he said, his gun still out stretched pointing at Nick.
Hailey trailed her hand along Jacobs shoulder, down his arm, and to the gun. "Let me baby. I know killing gets you hot, think of how hot you'll be when I pull the trigger."
Hailey took the gun and kept it aimed at Nick, as she turned her back to Jacob slowly.
"Ok, now shoot him." Nick yelled. But she kept the gun to Nick. "Shoot him Hail."
The corner of Hailey's mouth turned into a smirk. "Why would I do that Nicky?" Nick looked into her eyes and that's when he saw it. She wasn't faking. He didn't see the love he saw before. Her eyes held pure evilness.
"What about the plan?"
"There's been a slight change of plan."
Nick was scared for his life. His hands were in the air, he couldn't reach his spare gun or call for help. "I thought you loved me." He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
Hailey laughed out loud at this. "Love Nicky? Lust. I didn't love you." She laughed at the sight of his tears. "Awe he's crying." She pouted
"Real men don't cry." Jacob stated.
"That's right, and I need a real man. Someone to give it to me rough, the way I like it. Right honey?" She said over her shoulder.
"That's right sugar." Jacob was getting hotter by the minute watching his girl break Nick down before she put a bullet in him.
"Face it Nick, you've been had. You're just a sad, pathetic, little, and I do mean little, bitch."
"No Hailey you don't mean it."
"Get over it Nick, I don't love you, it was a game. You loose, and now its time for you to say goodnight."
"No Hail, please." He cried out, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I love you."
"I guess it just sucks being you then, doesn't it." Just as she finished she fired off a shot right into his chest. He fell to the floor in a heap. She lowered the gun to her side and watched as blood soaked the front of his shirt.
