¨I´m detective Susan Schertz and this is my partner Mike Lodd. I´m going to need you to tell me what happened¨ a woman came closer to Elise and Miranda. The later had the girls to each of her sides hugging them as if they would disappear. They´d decided to go to Miranda´s office leaving the other police man to investigate the area looking for the other man while another team assessed the living room

¨We had been playing cards when Mira here had to get the door and left for a little with the dog following. We were telling jokes and out of nowhere two men showed up and one held Cass. They tried to leave but Patty rushed in and cornered him separating them so they couldn´t rush out. They had been screaming at us and that´s when Mira and Mary showed up¨

The twins were openly crying but secured with their mother near

¨Sweeties that must have been scary, do you remember what happened?¨ Detective Schertz asked both girls trying to be gentle with them

¨We were waiting for mommy to come back and Patricia had gone to check on her. We were laughing when a man ran in and grabbed my sister by the shirt and tried to run away with her but Patty wouldn´t let him¨ Caroline started talking since Cassidy had remained quiet with tears streaming

¨I know it´s hard sweetie but could you tell me your side?¨ the woman asked Cassidy who nodded and talked with hiccups

¨He pulled me and started yelling that we get Patty away. They wanted to take me away but mommy and Maria wouldn´t let him. ¨ Cassidy said struggling

Since their stories were similar the detective decided on another approach, she knew there was something they weren´t telling her.

¨Madam, would it be alright if I spoke to you alone?¨ detective Schertz asked Miranda who nodded

¨Darlings could you please go with Elise for a little while so I talk with the detective?¨ she said softly giving them both a kiss to the forehead. They waited until the three made their way out before starting questioning Miranda

¨I had gone with Mary to look for her dressing case when we heard my girls screaming and Patricia barking so we rushed there to see a man holding my baby with a knife and my friend with my other baby being protected by our dog¨ Miranda said with tears in her eyes

¨How do you know the woman who got injured?¨ Detective Lodd asked with a stern face

¨She´s my girlfriend´s best friend. They´d stayed here a couple of days ago ¨ Miranda couldn´t believe what had happened, it seemed surreal to be in this situation so she started retelling everything that had happened

¨What does your girlfriend needs to decline?¨ Detective Schertz asked but they were interrupted by a crazy looking Andrea along with a scared looking Clarisse who went straight to Miranda who started crying and held onto Andrea tightly making both detective stand

¨Where are the girls? Are they ok? Are you? What happened?¨ Andrea asked quickly and with desperation

¨Elise, yes, yes, two man with knifes tried to take either them or me to make you decline publicly¨ Miranda said crying; she couldn´t handle the many emotions she was having at almost losing her precious girls

¨I assume you´re the girlfriend then, and who are you madam?¨detective Lodd asked exasperated

¨I´m Clarisse Renaldy, Andrea´s grandmother and Queen of Genovia. Have you caught the man who threatened our family? Joe¨ Clarisse said sharply at the shocked detectives before turning to Joe who went straight into the room

¨How did you know to come?¨ Miranda asked while leading them all to sit back down

¨Elise called desperately and said there had been a problem and that the police was here but she hanged up to get back to the girls. Why did she called from Mary´s phone?¨ Andy asked softly and got more scared when Miranda retailed the whole events

¨Oh, god where is she? What happened? I need to get to her!¨ Andy started to get even more desperate and started crying scared for her sissy

¨We need more information before you can all go madam¨ Detective Shertz said and made them stay for at least 2 hours of questioning

The very moment the policeman left Miranda´s townhouse Andrea left quickly with Elise and rushed towards the hospital leaving Clarisse with Miranda and the girls. Joe had secured the perimeter the moment the Queen and the Princess arrived and had 2 bodyguards following Andrea and Elise as well.

Both girls had been next to their mother the whole time and were now calm enough to be playing with their video games in front of the two adults.

¨Mommy?¨ Cassidy paused the game and turned to Miranda unsurely

¨Yes baby?¨ the white haired woman turned to her daughter. She´d been speaking about the possible suspects and had been sharing ideas

¨Is Maria going to be ok?¨ Cassidy asked with tears in her eyes

¨I´m sure she will darling, Andrea is going to make sure to be there with her and we will do everything to help her. She will let us know ok?¨ Miranda said softly with tears in her eyes still on high alert. She was proud of her daughter for her empathy. She couldn´t believe she almost lost her babies

¨I would like to see her mommy¨ Cassidy said softly standing up and going towards her mother to hug her

¨I know baby but she´s in the hospital right now. We will see her whenever we can is that alright?¨ Miranda answered and got a nod from the girl who went back to play with her sister

¨I´ve spoken with Charlotte and she has informed me that the other man was caught at a hospital trying to get help from Patricia´s bites¨ Clarisse spoke lowly enough for the girls not to hear

¨I wish I hadn´t had her vaccinated so he´d get dog rage. Who would do this Clarisse?¨ Miranda asked with tears in her eyes

¨I have my suspicions Miranda and I will make sure they get what they deserve. No one messes with my family and gets away¨ the Queen said before adding ¨Why don´t you gather your things, you three will stay at the consulate. I don´t feel reassured at you staying here even with the security staff we´ve placed¨

¨But what about Patricia?¨ Caroline said softly. The twins had made their way towards them and caught them by surprise

¨My darling girls, this precious hero will be coming with us. Go get your things all right?¨ Clarisse said softly while hugging the twins and calling Charlotte to settle things at the consulate and Joe to arrange things so they would all go.

-.-.-.-.-

Andy and Elise rushed into the ER and went straight towards the entrance desk asking for Mary who was still in surgery to try and get the bullet out of her shoulder. They were sat at the waiting room with and Andy was silently crying at the situation while Elise was slowly getting out of her shock

¨I can´t understand Elise, why would they do that? My family Elise¨ Andy whispered softly drying her tears

¨I don´t know Andy, I can´t believe what happened. I don´t even know what would´ve happened had Mary not been there¨ Elise said with tears in her eyes.

They spent a couple of hours waiting in silence when a doctor went to them

¨Is either of you Mss Andrea Sachs?¨ the doctor asked making them stand desperately

¨I am, how is she? Is Mary ok?¨ Andy asked with fresh tears in her eyes

¨She´s out of danger; we performed surgery on her shoulder and were successful in removing the bullet. She has a fractured rib but it has not made any other damage but we will have her monitored for a couple of days to prevent internal injuries¨ the doctor said

¨Can we see her?¨ Elise said straight away

¨Of course but she´s under a strong sedative so she may not wake up for a couple of days¨

Both women made their way to the room to see Mary lying in bed sleeping with a sling on left shoulder while the rest was covered by a sheet but they could still see her chest was wrapped to prevent any harm from movements on the woman´s trunk

Andy went straight towards her best friend and caressed her face while crying ¨What the fuck am I supposed to tell everyone back in Argentina! Gosh… I need you to be ok sissy, I can´t lose you¨

¨Andy… breathe, please, she´s ok now¨ Elise hugged the younger woman while they cried and decided to let Miranda and Clarisse know the news

At the news of Miranda and the girls staying at the consulate Elise simply told Andy to go to her family and she would stay

¨She´s my fucking sister! I´ve never actually told her how much she means and helps me! I can´t leave Elise!¨ Andy said while crying and holding the Latina's hand softly while Elise hugged her with silent tears

¨Andy, the rest of your family is already safe in the consulate. The same family Maria made sure was safe so you could still have them. Go to them, I´m staying to make sure she has company¨ Elise said finally convincing the younger woman.

Andy having one of the bodyguards that had followed them drive her; Elise sat right next to the sleeping woman. She couldn´t understand why anyone would do something like this. Deciding to defend her family in the way she could she got out her phone and laptop to investigate.

¨They want to play dirty…I´ll give them dirty¨ She said to herself and contacted someone she´d always hoped she never had to contact again.
