Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews guys. It feels good to be writing again. I missed my talleigh goodness! I got my schedule for next year, you would think it being my last year i'd want to take easy clases...but NO! Ugh, it be a miracle if I don't kill myself the first week.

Dislcaimer: Again I don't own anyone except for The Speedle kids, Johnny and his sister Gloria. And Valera and Eric's baby.

After The Dust Settles 12

Calleigh had gone to pacing the length of the living room now. "What's taking him so long?" she asked. But not to really anyone in particular. Valera had fallen asleep on the couch with her daughter lying across her chest. Eric was still reading the newspaper even though Calleigh knew that he had finished it hours ago. And Dennis and Horatio where watching some thing about World War 1 on the history channel. Calleigh sighed heavily once again and looked over as Olivia came down the stairs, "Mommy?" she asked softly.

Calleigh snapped her head in her daughter's direction and then picked her up, placing her gently on her hip. "What is it sweetie?" she asked. Olivia didn't say anything, just held onto Calleigh for dear life. Calleigh rubbed her back soothingly and rested her head against hers. "Your daddy's going to come back baby I promise." she said, maybe if she kept saying it over and over again out loud her mind would start to believe it.

Tim looked at Johnny like he was crazy. The Gloira he knew would never do something like that. But of course Johnny had become a lunatic why couldn't she. Tim looked over to the corner of the wharehouse when he saw a figure come out from behind a tarp that was draped over some rubble. "Gloria." Tim stated flatley.

Gloria smiled and looked over at Tim. "And I thought after this many years you'd forget about little old me." she said as she put on a fake southern accent.

Tim looked at her and shook his head, "You can drop that accent Gloria. I know your from Jamaica Queens." he said bluntly.

Gloria laughed a little and walked over to Johnny and placed her hand on Sandra's shoulder. "She could have been our little girl you know that don't you?" she said as she looked down at Sandra and then back up to Tim.

Tim shook his head a little, "I don't want kids with you, Gloria. Never have and never will. And doesn't that just tear you up inside?" he asked. Sandra looked up at Tim, a scared expression on her face. Tim raised his hand a little and winked at her. Sandra smiled slightly, knowing he must have had something planned.

Calleigh came out of the kitchen a few minutes later and handed Olivia a bowl of ice cream like she had asked for. "Here you go baby." Olivia smiled and took the bowl from her mother. Calleigh let out an impatient sigh and sat down on the couch. She looked up at the entertainment center and looked at the clock.

"Don't look at the clock, Cal." Eric said softly. "It'll only make time go by slower." he said as he finally placed the newspaper down on the coffee table and looked over at her. Calleigh didn't say anything and just nodded.

Tim looked over at Johnny and sighed, "Why don't you give me Sandra now." he suggested. Trying to keep a cool head.

Johnny shook his head, "I don't think so." he said as he pulled Sandra in front of him and placed a gun to her head. Tim panicked but didn't show it.

"Come on Johnny let her go." he said firmly. "She never hurt you. Its me you want remember."

Johnny smiled, "But you see Speedle hurting your kid will hurt you. So either way you look at it I win." he said with a small shrug. Sandra closed her to try and stop the tears from falling but it was useless. She looked up at Tim, her bottom lip quivering slightly. Tim thought his heart would break right then and there. He lost his nerve and reached into the back of jeans and pulled out his service pistol and aimed it at Johnny.

"Let her go right now." Tim said as he aimed the gun at Johnny

Johnny just laughed and kept his gun at Sandra, "You kill me I kill her." he said as he placed his finger on the trigger. Gloria smiled and walked around them, "Come on Timmy baby you don't want to kill Johnny." she said softly. "Just put down the gun and you me and Sandra can leave. Go back up to New York and have that family we wanted when we were younger."

Tim looked over at Sandra and then pointed his gun at her. Before he knew what he was doing he shot her in the stomach. Tim looked down at her slightly horrified as he watched her fall to the ground. He udnerstood now what it was like...how the other parents felt when he was on the job when their children were placed into tough situations. You'd kill for them. And by the looks of Gloria's lifeless body he had just done so. Tim pointed his gun at Johnny again, "Now let her go." he said angrily.

To Johnny and Tim's suprise Johnny let Sandra go and she ran over to Tim and hid behind him. "Listen to me sweetie. I want you to go to the hummer and call mommy." he said softly, keeping his gun trained on Johnny.

Sandra shook her head, "Daddy." she cried.

Tim shook his head, "Go ahead honey. Daddy's going to be just fine. Now go." Sandra looked up at Tim and then at Johnny and then quickly left the wharehouse

Johnny smirked, "So what are you going to do?" he asked. "Kill me."

Tim shook his head, "No." he said as he walked over to him. "I'm just going to kick your ass." he said firmly and then took the butt of his gun and hit Johnny over the head.

TBC...

God I just love angry Speed. And you haven't even seen the half of it. The rests all up in my noggin.
