"It doesn't look like he's gonna show." Penhall predicted sitting in the passenger seat of Hanson's Mustang.

"He'll show. He needs to get out of town, especially since Jude escaped." Hanson mentioned.

"But still, he could have changed his mind about leaving tonight."

"Doug, he doesn't know that we talked to Parker and Stone." Hanson said feeling frustrated. "He'll show."

The officers sat in the shadows surrounding the pier waiting for Greening to show up. It was already 12:30am and no show yet. They were beginning to think he changed his plans until a red Oldsmobile crept up. It was Charles Greening in a different car, no less. He ditched his car in the gravel-covered parking lot and walked up to the pier. He looked down at the water with his suitcase clenched against his chest like an arm full of books. He spotted his illegal speedboat and began walking to the edge of the dock. Fuller picked up the radio and ordered the other officers to move in before Charles got into the water. Hanson and Penhall jumped out of the car and followed Fuller's lead.

"Freeze!" The officers shouted pointing their guns.

"Drop the suitcase!" Fuller yelled. "Put your hands up where I can see them!"

Charles dropped the suitcase and put his hands behind his head. Penhall patted him down for weapons. Hanson grabbed his handcuffs and read Greening his rights.

"This time, I guarantee you won't be getting out." Hanson said clasping the handcuffs on Greening.

Charles turned around and looked into Hanson's eyes. "Don't be pissed because I had an intimate 24 hours with Judy."

"Nothing happened other than the fact that you roughed her up." Penhall snapped.

"What can I say? She was a bad girl." Charles said with a smile.

"I should wipe that smile off your face." Hanson said as Ioki pulled his arm to hold him back.

"Thank you Officer." Greening said sarcastically.

"Thanks for what?" Hanson asked.

"Thanks for leaving her alone in her apartment last night. If you never would have left, I never would have had the opportunity."

Hanson and Greening eyed each other with hatred until Fuller walked up.

"That's enough!" Fuller said interrupting Greening's mind game with Hanson. "Get him out of here!"

The Jumpstreet officers watched with relief as the police car drove away with Greening in the backseat.

Ioki put his hand on Hanson's back. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I guess. I'm just glad this is over." Hanson answered.

"Good job guys." Fuller congratulated them. "Hoffs is safe, Greening's caught and nobody's dead."

"Thanks Captain." Penhall said.

The officers started walking back to their cars when Fuller stopped Hanson.

"I know you were tempted to snatch his heart out of his chest back there. Thanks for keeping your cool." Fuller expressed.

"I realize that I haven't been particularly pleasant today, but I was anxious to catch him."

"No Hanson, you were worried about Hoffs."

"Well, that too." Tom smiled.

"So, you and Hoffs, huh?" Fuller cracked a smile. "I didn't know that you two were a couple."

"Well, we've been dating for awhile. We were going to tell you, but…."

"Don't worry about it Hanson, it's your life. I'm happy for you two."

"Thanks Coach."

"Why don't you head to the hospital to see how she's doing?" Fuller said walking back to the car. "Keep me posted."

"I'll see you tomorrow!" Tom shouted back to Fuller.

Fuller walked back to Hanson. "Why don't you take a couple of days? Take care of Hoffs for all of us."

Tom smiled as he watched Fuller walk away.

"Excuse me, what room is Judith Hoffs in?" Tom asked.

"Sir, it's too late for her to have visitors." The nurse answered.

Tom flashed his badge. "I'm her partner and my Captain asked me to see how she's doing."

"Oh, I'm sorry officer." The nurse scrolled the desk chart. "She's in room 511 right down the hall."

"Is she sleeping?"

"No, actually she's been pacing her room. She should be glad to see a familiar face."

Tom knocked lightly on the door. He opened the door slowly and saw Judy sitting on the bed flipping through the channels on the TV.

"Tom!" Judy jumped off the bed. Tom greeted her in the middle of the room and hugged her tightly. He planted a few kisses on her lips and hugged her again.

"Thank God you're here. I was going insane." Judy joked.

"Let's get you into bed." Tom said walking her back to the bed.

"Tom!" Judy blushed as Tom smiled.

He pulled the covers up to her chest and sat down next to her on the bed. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, actually better than fine." She said sitting up in the bed. "For some reason, they just wanted to keep me here for observations."

"They just want to be safe."

"I know, but I'm busting outta here tomorrow. I hate being in the hospital."

"I'm sorry about what he did to you." Tom said touching her face gently.

"Just a few cuts and bruises. I'm a fast healer." She said with a smile. "Don't worry about it."

"Um, did you…I mean did he…" Tom couldn't get the right words out without embarrassing Judy or himself.

"No Tom, he didn't rape me and we didn't have sex. Nothing happened." Judy answered quickly.

Tom let out a sound of relief. "Thank goodness." Tom said kissing her forehead.

"So, did you guys catch him?"

"Yes! Yes we did. As we speak he is on his way back to prison."

"I guess that means I can relax." She said looking away from Tom with disbelief.

"He won't be getting out anytime soon." Tom said looking into her chocolate eyes. "You have nothing to worry about."

"That's what I thought before." Judy pulled a few strands of hair behind her ear.

"I promise that you'll never feel unsafe with me Jude."

"Thanks Tom."

"Fuller gave me a few days off, how about we take a trip to the beach or something?" Tom insisted.

"That would be great! I would love to get away." Judy said kissing Tom. "Just not to the Caymans, ok?"

Tom and Judy laughed together at the now amusing situation they just survived.

"Why don't you get some sleep and I'll be back to "spring" you in the morning?"

Tom pulled up the covers around Judy again and kissed her softly on the lips. He walked out of the hospital feeling relieved to know Judy was ok. Greening's comments still disturbed him. What if he would have stayed with Judy that night? Greening never would have snatched her and Judy wouldn't feel nervous about going home. All these concerns ran through Tom's head as he drove home for the night. He didn't want to alarm Judy, but the thought of her being alone in her apartment worried him.
