I apologize to those who want to know how Jack did it-saved the day; however, my main concern is Tony and Michelle. I am writing this for them. Sorry.
Also, an another note, I really don't know that much history concerning Bill but for the sake of this chapter, he is a widower.
BTW, those that have inquired about the folder, it's revealed in another 5 chapters or so. Stay tuned!
Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 8, the Release
An hour and a half later news came in that that Jack had contained all of the viruses—he had been shot in the shoulder but nonetheless he would be OK.
At this news, Michelle was able to let out a sigh of relief. Now she could finally concentrate on herself. She walked over to Bill. "Do you have things under control here for a couple of minutes?"
"Take all the time you need Michelle. And bring Tony with you. Whatever you need, you know we're all here for you."
Michelle smiled. "Thank you for being such a gentlement about this."
"Tony? Michelle all I wanted was to see you smile again. And if Tony can do that instead of me-"
"Your wife was one of the lucky ones," Michelle gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'll turn off the monitors in 4." Michelle hugged him again and went to find Tony.
Tony was not feeling too happy right now. Logically, he knew that there was nothing going on between Michelle and Bill but that didn't stop his heartstrings from being pulled when he had seen Michelle kiss him.
"Chloe," Michelle said as she came over, "Can you handle this on your own for a couple of minutes? I need Tony for something."
"Of coure," Chloe walked back to her station.
"Come on," Michelle grabbed his hand and proceeded to interrigation room 4. on the way, they passed Bill who nodded at Michelle.
What the hell, Tony thought only he didn't have much time to think because as soon as the door closed behind him, Michelle pulled him in for a kiss. Which was just fine with him.
"Bill turned off the monitors. He said to take all the time we need," Michelle whispered in between kisses.
"I'm liking the guy more and more."
"He's been a good friend," Michelle panted before opening once more for a kiss. Finally, she pulled back and rested her head on Tony's shoulder.
Tony felt more than heard her sobs. He let her go until she was done then he started giving her butterfly kisses on her face.
Michelle smiled tentatively at him. "Tony, remember before when I told you about my father?"
A dark cloud suddenly formed in Tony's eyes. Though he would never admit it to anyone, he had had nightmares about what that man had done to his beloved.
Michelle noticed the change in his demeanor right away and took a deep breathe before continuing. "I never told you his name."
Tony felt his heart drop. This was not going to be good.
"It's Michael. Michael Richards."
