Title: Buried

Epilog
Two days later Lucy and Tim sat in the living room of his house. They were both on medical leave. Lucy still recovering from the initial kidnapping and wounds suffered and Tim from the encounter with Booker. A college basketball game was on the tv and Lucy was content to sit next to Tim on the sofa snuggled next to him.
"I still can't believe Booker was a D.A."Lucy commented.
"Lower level D.A."Tim pointed out. "Still he had enough clout to know what was going on with the LAPD."
"I'm glad they found Reynolds."Lucy remarked.
"Me too. Now West's Dad can wrap everything up and throw it in a dark hole."Tim replied.
They'd found Reynolds at a bus station in Orange county about to board a bus for San Diego.
"Jackson told me his Dad told him everything about that I.A investigation. West's partner at the time was the one they were looking at. Which was why Jackson's Dad was in the rumor."
"Things still tense with them?"Tim asked.
"I think they're on the way to mending things."Lucy said as she turned to face Tim.
"Good."Tim acknowledged.
Lucy saw him wince as he shifted. Tim had been right; the bullet had grazed him. Still the injury was painful even with the brave front Tim was putting on.
"Need the pain meds?"Lucy asked as she eased herself away.
Tim smiled as he pulled her back.
"No, I have the best medicine right here."Tim responded.
Lucy returned the smile as he kissed her. They were still figuring things out, but Lucy knew that the future ahead would be a good one.
