At the S.I.U., Rachel approached Harvey and said, "You must be relieved."

"Why's that?" Harvey said.

"Since your niece is out of danger," Rachel said.

"Rachel, her kidnappers are still out there," Harvey said.

"I just assumed..." Rachel said, glancing behind her. "Aren't those her police guards over there?"
Harvey jumped out of his chair and walked over to the officers. "What are you people doing here?" he said, "You are supposed to be on guard outside the home of Captain Bridges."

"We were reassigned," one of the officers said.

"On whose authority?" Harvey said.

The officer handed Harvey a piece of paper. Rachel looked at the form and said, "Harvey, it says that you authorized it."

"No, no, no..." Harvey said, rushing towards the exit, as Rachel followed.

The footsteps approached and there was no time to hide. As Lynette had feared, Nathan and Carl stood before them.

"Just stay calm," Evan said.

Nick pulled Lynette back a few steps and protectively stood in front of her. "What do you want?" he said.

"Get out of my way, old man," Carl said.

"I am not going to let you hurt her," Nick said.

Even though Nick couldn't hear him, Evan said, "Nick, be careful. Don't do anything foolish."

Carl laughed, "You aren't?"

"If you lay a hand on her..." Nick started.

"Nick..." Lynette said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Then focusing her attention back to the other two, she said, "What do you want from me?"

"You had to do it, didn't you?" Carl said, "You had to run to the cops and tell them all about us. You screwed up our plans big time. I'm not about to let you get away with that."

"You could just walk out of here and we wouldn't tell anybody," Nick said.

"Nice try Gramps," Carl said. He reached around and grabbed Lynette, "But she's coming with us."

Nathan walked by Evan and got a chill. Noticing his partner shiver, Carl said, "What's your problem?"

"I don't know," Nathan said, "Maybe, this isn't such a good idea."

"Would you prefer she gets us sent to jail?" Carl said, "Would you like that?" Gesturing to Nick, Carl said, "Get rid of him."

"What?" Nathan said.

"Get rid of him," Carl firmly repeated.

"Don't you hurt him," Lynette pleaded.

Evan suddenly tossed a cooking pot onto the floor, which made a clatter. Everybody jumped and in the distraction, Lynette was able to pull away from Carl. She ran over to Nick.

"What was that?" Nathan said.

"Who else is here?" Carl demanded.

"No one," Nick said.

"Oh, the pot just fell by itself," Carl said.

"Apparently," Nick said.

"Don't get smart with me," Carl said.

"Carl, let's just get out of here," Nathan said.

"What are you waiting for?" Carl yelled, "Shoot him. Shoot them both."

Nathan aimed his gun at Nick, but he was hesitant. Before he had a chance to pull the trigger, Evan kicked the gun out of his hand.

"What are you doing?" Carl shouted.

"I didn't do anything!" Nathan said, "The thing just flew out of my hand."

"Do I have to do everything myself," Carl said. He produced his weapon, when Evan pushed him from behind. Carl spun around to see no one.

"Carl...?" Nathan said.

"That's it," Carl said, "I don't know what kind of tricks you two are playing, but you're game is over." He took a few steps towards them, when Evan stuck his foot out and caused him to trip. Carl fell forward as Nathan stared.

"I think you better get up," Nick said. He was holding, Nathan's gun.

"Nick, careful," Evan said.

"Nick..." Lynette said.

Before he prepared to get up, Carl was reaching for his own gun. "Carl, don't," Nathan said.

Carl stood up, whipping out his weapon. "GET DOWN!" Evan yelled. Carl fired, as Lynette dived behind the counter, pulling Nick down.

"That counter won't save you for long," Carl said. He marched towards them, but Evan shoved him, against the counter as he doubled over it. Lynette grabbed some cooking spray and Evan pulled his head up as she sprayed it into his face. Carl was released and he staggered backwards. He tripped, causing him to fall, hitting his head as he went down. "Carl!" Nathan shouted. He bent over his partner, but he was unconscious.

In his fall, Carl had dropped his gun and Lynette went to grab it, but Nathan was quicker than her. They both straightened and Nathan had it pointed at her. "What are you doing?" Lynette said.

"You don't understand," Nathan said, "If I don't he'll kill me."

"Please, you don't have to... " Lynette started, when suddenly there was a clang and Nathan dropped unconscious to the floor. Behind him stood Nick, holding his weapon, a frying pan.

"That will teach them to mess with Nick Bridges," Nick said.

Evan smiled as Lynette rushed over and hugged Nick.
