Chapter 26

"Drop the gun and put your hands where I can see them."

Don sighed dropping his gun and setting both hands on top of his head. He turned to the source of the voice to find the last person he expected to see.

"David?"

He started to lower his hands but they were quickly pulled behind his back and he felt handcuffs being fastened around his wrists.

"Don't blame David, I brought him here…" Terry said releasing her hold on Don's arm so he could turn around. "You are under arrest by the way so anything you say…"

"Get these damn cuffs off me." Don said, sending a glare strait through the smaller woman.

She glared right back, "As I said, you are under arrest and so I won't be doing anything like that until you have answered some questions."

David put his gun away and radioed to the men outside to stay out, the situation was contained.

"This is silly… come on, you know I am not going to do anything." He turned back and forth between Terry and David confused by the coldness of their expressions.

"Oh really? Then what did you come here for, huh?" Terry said.

Don turned to David hoping for some support but he just shrugged. David didn't really want in the middle of this conversation, he was already feeling strange about arresting his own boss.

"Where is…" Don started

"Where is the man you came to kill?" Terry asked crossing her arms. Don didn't answer right away so she continued. "We have him, thanks to your dad we were able to get here first. How did we manage that by the way? You didn't by any chance stop my your office on the way here did you?" Terry asked this question carefully. She couldn't believe she was standing here trying to question Don about a murder.

"No…" Don answered distractedly, "I had to stop at home for a different gun. I left my spare at work and I…" he stopped a little embarrassed, "I didn't want to use my regular service gun to…"

"Kill someone in cold blood?" Terry filled in.

Don didn't know how to respond. I am getting really tired of her finishing my sentences, even if she is right. He thought more about her original question. He wrinkled up his forehead. "Why did you want to know where I was?"

Terry met David's eyes and he nodded, "Agent Young was killed with your spare gun, her body was found a little while ago in a storage closet."

Don's eyes widened in horror, "You guys don't think I had anything to do with that do you?"

Terry let out a little of the breath she had been holding, she could tell by his reaction that he was innocent of that charge. She wasn't sure what she would have done if Don HAD killed the agent. "Not now we don't. The FBI on the other hand has an APB out on you. You have to let us help you."

Don shook his head quickly. "No, I can't get you anymore involved than I already have. It's like Charlie said the more you know the more danger you are in. Besides I can't have you stepping to the wrong side of the law for me. Its bad enough this guy has one agent under his thumb I don't want him to have three. Just get me out of these cuffs and let me go."

"Not gonna happen." Terry shook her head, "You are not getting rid of us that easily and you are not the boss here. First of all letting you go won't help. We can't let you kill Shepherd and if you don't your job isn't finished anyway. So here is the new plan. We work together just as we usually do. We don't go running off on our own and get ourselves killed and we don't get Charlie killed. We work together and share information so that we can figure out where Charlie is being held. Then we go get him together."

Don shifted his shoulders uncomfortable with his arms pinned behind him this way. He tried to think of an argument. "I don't want you both stepping outside the law with me."

"Too late." Terry said "We already broke the law, we just released a dangerous fugitive."

"Who?" Don asked confused.

"You," David answered finally unlocking Don's handcuffs.

I think this is my favorite chapter so far. I love Terry and Don stories but unfortunately this didn't really turn into one. Please let me know what you think. This is probably the last chapter this weekend. I will try to finish writing the story this week so you can all have the conclusion by next weekend. My plan is for an even 30 chapters so that means you have about 4 more to go but they may be slightly longer chapters just to wrap up the plot. Thanks for sticking with me. -Fishgirl
