Behold! Here's the next-to-last chapter everyone!
Cragen's Pov Hoax
It was late when I went to bed. Everyone had left. Munch went upstairs to the rooftop and I went to bed. I hadn't slept for more than thirty minutes when Munch came bursting into my office. I jumped up from my bed and reached for my revolver, but I let a sigh of relief go.
"Goddamn John, you sure know how to scare people," I said, but the look on his face told me he was in no mood to joke around.
"What is this B.S. that I'm hearing from Amy she's leaving!" roared Munch.
"What do you mean she's leaving?" I asked.
"Being transferred! Back to Homicide! In the Bronx!"
"Oh," I said and went to my desk and looked around in my first drawer.
"This what you mean?" I said, holding a document up for him to see.
He took it from me and read it over.
"This…this…this is fake? A mere hoax?" Munch asked disbelieving.
"Why do you think 'void' is printed lightly in gray below the document?" I asked.
"Nice job," growled Munch, but then he grasped his left side and fell to his knees.
I scrambled to him. "John, John! Are you okay!" I asked worried.
"I'm fine. The doc said I couldn't overreact to things for a while. That bullet in the stomach area, it's taking that side a little while to get back to normal again," he grumbled to me.
I grabbed his arm and helped him up.
"Whew! I'll be glad when my body starts acting like its old self again. But now's not the time to be worried about me. I'm worried about Amy."
"What happened?" I asked.
"She took your prank joke seriously. She left my place and cleaned out everything she owned. I don't know where she went. She didn't tell me."
I walked slowly back to my desk and rummaged through my drawers again and pulled his badge and gun.
"I thought she had those," Munch said.
"She gave them to me. Here, since you're back on the force, take them. Give me fifteen minutes and then we'll go look for her."
"I think I can manage, Captain."
"Not in your present form. Besides, we'll have better luck if there's two people."
Munch rolled his eyes. "Fine then, your funeral."
I looked at him. "What?"
"She probably won't hesitate shooting you if we do find her."
The last chapter is almost done! Be patient everyone!
