A/N: Hey people I'm back, sorry about the delay of the very last chapter! I haven't been on the internet or fan fiction for that matter in a month and drove me crazy every time I thought of how many stories I'm missing to read or write but I hope you forgive me. Please read and review! Thank you.

Chapter 5 – The Truth

Zane had tortured her, raped her and almost killing her, now even Lilly was doing the same thing but her mind now. She thought when she tasted her own blood. Great, now I'm licking my own blood. Just as Lilly's hand drew back for another painful slap; Bobby's fist collided with her head, knocking her unconscious.

"Bobby!" she screamed in joy, now knowing Bobby wasn't dead.

"Alex," he replied, staggering towards her, he sat down beside her.

"I thought you were dead," she whispered to him.

"I'm not, never," he answered, weakly. She wiggled over to him. He tugged at the tape on her wrists and ankles. She felt her body relax as the tape was torn off. She looked at Bobby and smiled. Before she could even register his smile, he fell backwards, revealing Lilly behind him with a gun pointing at her with her eyes screaming in rage. Alex didn't want to leave Bobby but she started to slide backwards to get away from the crazy woman.

"Just you and me, Alexandra, just you and me," she hissed slyly at her. She stepped over Bobby as she advanced on Alex. She kept sliding back on the cold cement, as she knew she was going to die in the disgusting place they brought her and Bobby.

"Lilly, there as got to be a better way to talk about everything," she said, calmly as she tried to. She had a feeling it failed as she saw the joy suddenly flutter in Lilly's eyes.

"Actually, this is the best way to talk to," she whispered, "ABOUT MY SON!" she shrieked at her, making Alex jump in fright. "Oh, how he loved you, he loved you from vice; he loved you more than me. That's what you took from me, my son, his life, his love and even his friends. Why do you think there are so many damn criminals in this city hit on you every second you catch them!" she screamed at her. Alex glanced back to see she was near a wall. Just as she looked at Lilly, she advanced on her and shoved her to the wall, the gun pointing at her forehead. Her hand closed around Alex's delicate neck. "Now this is when you beg for your life, detective, dear, yes this is it, your only chance of begging to me. C'mon I wanna hear you beg for your life." she whispered in her ear, making Alex's anger reach her throat. "This is your only chance I'll see you beg before you die," she added softly, giggling to her. Her anger took over her and she had the strength to shove Lilly back hard, not hard enough to push her over. Lilly laughed at her in pleasure.

"Don't tell me to beg, I don't need too!" she shouted at her. "You're the person who's gonna be the one to rot in jail for the rest of your pathetic life," she screamed at her. Her legs gave away; her strength was gone from her body. Every ounce of pain that contacted her, had taken over her now. She slipped down the wall to sit where she stood, looking down at the ground. She could feel Lilly's cold eyes on her every second. Lilly's laugh echoed through the silent room.

"Yeah, I'm gonna rot in jail because I killed you, I'm not the one who's gonna die in this pathetic place looking like a useless fucking detective! Who couldn't even save her partners life before her own," she hissed angrily at her. Another slap had caused pain her face again. Now she knew she would ever get out alive with Bobby. Then she could see a shadow behind her, a six foot shadow staggering towards them. She could see he had a pistol with him, aiming it at her head. Alex didn't want to smile because Lilly would get suspicious about her smiling suddenly. The gun he was holding was it was his, they must've not searched Bobby when they got to there destination. He put the gun to the back of Lilly Callahan's head.

"Don't move, Lilly, all else I'll blown your brains out," he hissed at her. "Drop the gun, now!" he ordered. Lilly drop the gun on the ground with a thud in front of Alex. She didn't have the strength to grab it.

"I thought you were dead," she shrieked at him, still facing Alex.

"Guess not," he answered. "Move away from Alex and keep facing the wall," he ordered her. Lilly did what Bobby said, glancing back at him every now and then. "Drop to your knees and put your hands on your head." Lilly did it and Bobby went through her pockets and found knife, Alex's gun and another gun. He put next to him and kept the gun trained on her. Bobby reached in his pocket and found his cell and phone and dialed Deakins number. It rang three times before he answered it.

"Hi, its Bobby, have you got a trace on this phone, please find us we have no idea where the hell we are," he nodded.

"Hey, thank god your both all right, its okay we have a trace on now, just for another minute and we'll find you," Deakins said, still sounding tense. Lilly was still facing the wall but she could still feel that Zane was alive somewhere in the room. C'mon Zane just last try and we'll win, she thought.

"C'mon Alex can you stand up," Bobby asked her, giving her one of his hands to help her up. Lilly smiled at herself to know Zane was in the room trying to figure out what to do. A scream suddenly came out of nowhere and she knew who's it was. It was Alexandra's scream of fright.

"No, Zane, get away from her," Bobby shouted angrily. He suddenly grabbed Lilly and pointed the gun at her temple. Zane saw his mother being held up by Bobby.

"Mother," he screamed in fright. Alex was had a knife to her delicate throat, she seemed more weak than anyone in the room.

"Go for it. Zane, go for it, kill the bitch first then get rid of him," Lilly encouraged her son, her eyes sparkling in joy. She finally had Alex in a position to kill her in front of her partner or lover, one of them anyway.

"NO, don't do it, you don't have to, do you wanna go back to that place again? Zane, do you want to go back?"

"FUCK NO!"

"Then let her go, now," Bobby said, trying to sound calm.

"NO, I will not. You know why? Because it's exactly what I wanted! Revenge! For 8 whole years I wanted this moment to come and now it has," Zane screamed at him, pressing the knife to Alex's throat. She started to choke. "That's right my pretty, you suffer as much I did in jail," he whispered in her ear.

"Just let her go now!"

"NO!"

"Do it now Zane do it now! Now! Kill her now!" Lilly shrieked at him. "She's helpless as he is," she added, laughing her head off like a witch. Bobby pressed the gun hard on her temple.

"You know what pisses me off the most about you Zane?" Bobby asked him, striding towards him and Alex. Zane stepped back as he advanced on him.

"That you're not the one who wants to kill, Alex, right?" he asked, curiously. Zane looked from Alex, to Bobby, to his mother several times.

"Yeah, I do," he shouted back.

"NO, you don't, your mother does," Bobby shot back.

"Yeah, and so do I," he snapped at him.

"He bloody well, does, Detective," Lilly replied, angrily and struggling against him viscously.

"If you want to kill her, you'll have to kill me first," Bobby yelled angrily and shoved Lilly towards her son. She kept her balance before she could fall over. He heard Alex tried to yell something but he chose to ignore her. Lilly laughed hysterically at him, even though she didn't intend of killing Bobby but why the hell not now? He asked for it, now was the time to make Alex see what she had to do for revenge.

"Give me the gun, now, Bobby, if you wanna die, to sacrifice your life for her, then give me your gun," Lilly ordered him, heatedly, leaving her hand out for him to give her the gun. Zane was still holding the knife to Alex's throat; he didn't want anything to happen to her. It was better him dying than her; she deserved to live more than he did. He started to hand the gun over, before he could a swarm of uniform men and women came in and arrested Lilly and Zane Callahan. A group of police surrounded them and mange to get Alex, still alive. Deakins was behind the whole group and went straight to Bobby, to see if he was all right. Bobby went with Alex into medical care straight away. Alex was put onto a stretcher heading straight to the nearest hospital.

"I'm coming with you," he yelled, following after the paramedics. He caught up in time to grab Alex's hand and jump in with

Two weeks later

Bobby and Alex were sitting at Bobby's apartment drinking coffee in silence. They didn't want to talk about the experience they went through the past couple of days. Alex's arm was broken in four places, making it hard to drink her coffee. Bobby had a fractured leg in his foot but it would heel in two weeks, while Alex had to wait two months before her life could get back on track. Alex knew how much he loved her, when he wanted to give Lilly his gun and make them kill him instead of her. She loved that in him, he would let himself die before someone else. She suddenly put her good arm over the table and put her hand on his. He smiled at her.

"Thank you," she said, squeezing his hand tightly. He returned the squeeze and smiled at her. A tear went down her face in joy of seeing Bobby alive and well as she was. She was glad she even got out of the place alive with Bobby. "For saving me," she added to him and leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips. He saw the bruises on her face. Lilly had done so much to her he didn't know how to respond to that.

"I need to tell you something," Alex said softly to him. Bobby squeezed her hand tightly.

"What did he do?" he asked, in curiosity.

"Zane, before you- woke up- he-he," she hesitated before she went on. She had tears in her eyes, now flowing down her delicate face. Bobby suddenly knew what she was gonna say. He didn't need to hear it but he couldn't help but to keep silent to let her say it.

"He raped me," Alex finally said, tears silently rolled down her cheeks. Making her eyes look darker than before. Bobby stood and sat beside her and hugged her gently. She leaned on him, making her sob into his chest. Now all he wanted to was to convict Zane and leave him in jail forever. He held on to her tightly and he would never let anyone hurt Alex again.
