"YOU LET HER LEAVE!" yelled Eric.
"I'm sorry Detective Delko. I...I fell asleep."
"Yeah and because you fell asleep there is year old baby in the break room that doesn't hae a mother or father." started Eric. "Would you like to see what he doesn't have anymore. This is a picture of them at their wedding. A month ago. And this..." said Eric as he took two pictures out of a folder. "Is their crime scene photo's. This." said Eric pointing to Calleigh's photo. "Is what you let happen. She faught back. She was stabbed...and she was going to her son's room to protect her son and she got a bullet in the head."
"I'm sorry." said Tim. "I...I never meant for this to happen."
"But you still let it happen." said Rick. "I"m sorry detective Sanders...but i'm gonna need your badge and gun."
Tim gaped at Stetler but obeyed. He sat his badge and gun down on the table and walked to the door. "Tell James...i'm sorry."
"Son of a bitch!" yelled Eric as he threw the photos across the room. He went to say something else but Stetler's phone went off.
"Stetler. mmhmm...were? Alright...if you have to take him down you do it. We'll be right there."
"What?"
"Patrol found Jack in a Chevy pick up truck trying to head out of Miami-Dade County. Patrol's chasing him now."

Alexx sighed as she walked into autopsy. This place wasn't for people she didn't know anymore. It seemed like in the past month she had done autoposy's on everyone she knew. Alexx un zipped the body bag that held Calleigh Duquesne. Alexx's breath caught as she saw the blood on the side of Calleigh's face. Alexx's eyes trailed down her white tank top that she wore and spotted the stab wound. Alexx shook her head to get the screams out of her head and picked up her camera and began to retake photo's of Calleigh's injuries. When Alexx was finished taking pictures she undressed Calleigh and put her clothes into evidence bags. But when it came time to pick up the scalpel...she couldn't. She couldn't cut into another one of her friends. Not again.

Alexx smiled as she saw James playing with a stuffed Elmo and Tigger. Alexx sat down next to him on the couch. "Hey buddy."
"Hi."
"You like Elmo don't you sugar?"
James nodded and gave Alexx a look like 'hello where have you been.' Alexx smiled at the look that reminded her way to much of Tim. "Listen baby-"
"I'm 'ungry."
Alexx smiled. "Well let's see what we can do about that."

"Relax Delko were gonna get him."
"Yeah...kepp telling yourself that Rick." said Eric as him and Rick stepped out of the black SUV and towards the shot down pick up truck. Eric approached the driver's side door and opened it. He saw Jack lying down on the seat, he grabbed him by the collar and through him on the floor. "You son of a bitch."
"You must be Delko...sorry about your wife."
Eric had it and kicked him. Jack hissed in pain he was shot in the arm and was bleeding heavily. "I think I need to get to the hospital."
"Well you can wait." said Eric as he picked Jack up roughfly. "You killed my wife...and 3 of my best friend's. I think you deserve to suffer first."

"Look...we know how you did it...but I wanna know why."
Jack just starred at him and continued to hold his bleeding arm. Eric laughed and picked Jack up by his arms and through him up against the wall.
"Delko..." warned Rick.
"Back off Stetler."
Stetler did as told and watched Eric continue his interrogation. "I want an answer."
"They had to pay."
"They?"
"Well that package really was meant for Speedle. It's not my fault your wife was in the wrong place and the wrong time."
Eric sneered at Jack he had it with this guy it was killing him to just stand here and look at this man. "Listen...jackass." said Eric angrily. "Do you have any idea of the damage you've caused?"
Jack laughed and Eirc tightened his hold on Jack's injured arm. "You took a mother away from her daughter. A little boy's parents away from him. Somebody's soon...somebody's daughter. How can you live with yoursef?"
Jack smiled. "Well...I sleep peacefully."
It was taking everthing Eric had in him not to shoot this guy right now. "You know what...I can't even look at you. Frank...get this animal out of here."
"Yeah...come on let's go asswhole."
"I need to get to a hospital." said Jack again.
"Yeah...i'll see what I can do about that." said Frank sarcastically.
Eric sat down in a chair. "You ok Delko?"
Eric nodded. "What happens to James?"
"Well he goes to his grandparents in New York."
Eric nodded. "And what happends to me?" started Eric. "I just lost 5 people who ever gave a damn about me."
Stetler sighed. "I'm sorry."
Eric nodded. "Yeah...me too."

Tim gapsed for air. "Honey are you ok?"
Tim shook his head. "I...I..."
"Tim honey you had a nightmare calm down...just breath."
Tim shook his head again. "A guy from...a old case...stalking us...we got married and Tyler and Valera got killed in a explosion...then H died right in front of me. I took H's place. Then I died right in front of you. And Jack came after you and he stabbed you...you pleaded for him not to kill you or to hurt James...but he...he put a gun to your head anyway...we got married...but only for like a month...and there was this FED who was supposed to watch over you after I got killed and he fell asleep and that's when you got killed. Calleigh it-"
"It was just a nightmare baby." said Calleigh as she kissed Tim's forehead.
"It felt soooooo real."
"Nightmares generally do."
Tim sighed and ran a shaky hand through his hair and pulled Calleigh to him. "I love you..."
"I love you to...now you should get some sleep were getting married tomorrow."
"You mean were not married yet?"
"This dream really messed with your head didn't it."
Tim nodded. "I'm gonna go check on James." Calleigh nodded and Tim kissed her deeply. "I love you."
"You just said that like 2 seconds ago."
"I know...but I wanted to say it again."
Calleigh smiled and kissed Tim lightly. "I love you to."
Tim smiled and went down the hall to check on his son.
