Maxie woke up with sweat dripping from her face. Laying on the couch in her livingroom, Maxie sat up. Seeing her sister sitting in the chair across from her, Maxie spoke. "What's going on? "
Georgie laughed a little. "Next time you wanna have wet dreams about your boyfriend, try not to scream his name so loud. Dad could have been home."
Maxie shook her head feverishly. That was NOT a dream. It had felt so real. With tears rushing to her eyes, Maxie stood up.
"I'm gonna get ready for dinner." Was all she said before rushing up the stairs.
Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang. Maxie answered it and was shocked at what she saw. Dillon and Diego were wearing the same outfits they had been in her dream.
Trying to shrug off the nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach, Maxie smiled. "Hey guys, come on in."
Dillon walked right past her and sat down on the couch, while Diego put his arm around her. "You look really beautiful." He whispered in her ear before sitting next to Dillon.
It was just like her dream. He was hitting on her again. Except, not AGAIN. This was the first time in real life. But he did it in dream land too.
Georgie walked down the stairs wearing a blue skirt and white tanktop. Dare she say it? The same outfit.
Maxie felt nauseous. Pulling her sister aside, Maxie hastily whispered to her. "I have to talk to you."
Georgie nodded her head before walking over to the bathroom. Locking themselves in there, Maxie spoke.
"Okay, you're going to think I'm in desperate need of a straigt jacket, but please hear me out." Maxie said whispering.
Georgie nodded her head laughing. "Well when you start a sentence like that..." she trailed off.
Maxie rolled her eyes. "I had a dream...and it's totally coming true. Except, in the end of the dream, Jesse got shot."
Georgie looked at her like she was crazy while sarcastically nodding her head. "How did you feeeeeeeel about that?"
Maxie playfully slapped Georgie. "I'm not kidding. Seriously,Georgie, I'm scared for him. Something bad's gonna happen. I can feel it." Tears formed in her eyes as she said this.
Georgie nodded her head, more sympathetically this time. "Okay. What do you wanna do about this 'feeling' you have?"
Maxie shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but we have to work quickly.When we walk back out there, Diego and dad are going to be into some in depth discussion about police...something. We have to find out where Jesse and Lucky are so we can help him...them."
Georgie nodded her head. "The things I do for you." She said as she unlocked the bathroom door and walked back into the livingroom.
Sure enough, they were beginning a conversation on police. "So, are there a lot of corrupt officers?" Diego asked, feigning interest.
Maxie signalled for Georgie to search Mac's office while they were talking. Georgie nodded her head as she dissapeared into the other room.
About five minutes later, Georgie came back mouthing 'the docks' to her sister.
Maxie nodded her head. "It's so hot in here. We should eat outside."
Mac agreed as he put all of the food in disposible bowls. "Sweetie, where do you wanna go? The park?"
When Mac didn't recieve an answer, he went back out into the livingroom to see Georgie, Dillon, and Diego.
"Georgie..." Mac began, but was cut off by his youngest daughter.
"Dad, I tried to tell her to just let you handle it, but she wouldn't listen."
Mac looked around the room. "Where is she?"
Georgie began to studder. "She's...She.."
Mac's face turned a scary shade of red. "WHERE IS SHE!" He was yelling now.
"She went to go help Jesse at the pier." Georgie blurted out.
Without another word, Mac furiously walked out the front door, slamming it.
When Maxie arrived, she hid by a bush. She saw both Jesse and Lucky put their guns down. With their hands in the air, they both walked backwards.
Maxie then saw a middle aged man with a gun in his hands, pointed right at Jesse. Maxie felt herself squeel, but quickly covered her mouth.
Shit. Too late. The guy with the gun heard her. Ripping her out of the bushes, she was face to face with Jesse.
His eyes widened. His heart began pounding. "Maxie...what the HELL are you doing?"
She looked over at him. "I don't know."
The man with the gun laughed before pushing Maxie over towards Lucky. "This your girlfriend?"
Jesse looked over at Maxie, then back to the bad guy, nodding his head. "Yeah."
The man laughed as he pointed the gun at Maxie. "Say bye-bye, boyfriend." He said, pulling the trigger.
Jesse automatically jumped in front of Maxie, causing a bullet to go through his chest.
Automatically, Mac rushed in, having surveyed the scene. He got a police officer to read the man his rights as he made his way over to his hysterrical daughter.
"Jessssseeeee." Maxie sobbed, shaking his unconscious form. "Please wake up." Tears were streaming down her cheeks, showing no signs of stopping.
Mac Knelt down next to his daughter, moving her hand off of his lifeless body. "Don't touch him Maxie. You don't know how badly he's hurt. Go get the paramedic from over there." He spoke to his daughter, slowly but urgently.
When Maxie showed no signs of moving, Mac spoke more firmly. "GO."
Maxie feverishly nodded her head as she shakily stood up, before moving, she kissed Jesse on the cheek."I'll be right back"
She whispered before walking towards a paramedic.
Mac looked over at the young man who was laying lifeless beside him. Mac began to speak. "Oh, Jesse. You've been seeing my daughter this WHHOOOLLLLEEEE time. You've gotta wake up so I can tell you that I'm demoting you back to that desk job." Mac said, laughing slightly. "You saved my daughter's life. And for that, I will be forever greatful. You are an amazing cop, Boudrey." Mac stopped himself, getting choked up.
Paramedics arrived and ushered Mac out of the way. "I'm sorry,Mr.Scorpio, you're going to have to move." One of them spoke.
Mac nodded his head as he made his way over to Maxie. Embracing her, she sobbed into his chest.
One thing was for sure. This was one long, hectic, dangerous rollercoaster ride. Buckle your seatbelts and try not to get killed.
