Chapter 11

Peter Goldman sat across from Captain Sharon Raydor at the interview table. He had his smug look on his face. He watched as Lieutenant Provenza shut the door behind him and then the Captain began to speak. "Mr. Goldman, so nice that you could join us today" she said to him. She then read him his Miranda rights. He thought for a moment and watched as Lieutenant Provenza sat down next to Captain Raydor. "Captain Raydor, I was pleasantly shocked when the Lieutenant and two of your detectives showed up on my doorstep and dragged me away to come down here without even telling me what was going on" Goldman stated in his curious voice. "What are we here to discuss?" he added.

"Well, Peter, it has come to our attention that you might have been a bad boy" Provenza started to say as he looked at him. Goldman then focused on the Lieutenant. "Huh, well what one knows and what one proves are two different things. I've said that before and I'll say it again" he said as he shifted in his chair. He then looked back at Sharon. "Peter Goldman, you have been a thorn in the LAPDs side for a while now" Sharon started to say as she took out the photos that were discovered and placed them on the table in front of him. "What are these?" Goldman asked as he pointed to the pictures. "Oh, I think you know what they are. In fact I know that you know what they are and who you sent them to" Sharon said as Darth Raydor was starting to come out.

Back in the electronics room, Andy, Mike, Amy, Julio, and Buzz all look at the monitors. "He's gonna get it now" Julio said to no one in particular. "That's my girl" Andy said proudly to himself but everyone around him heard. Mike and Buzz started to laugh at what Andy just said. "What?" Andy said to them and shrugged. They continued to watch the interview. DDA Hobbs joined them in the electronics room. Andy looked up as she walked into the room. "What are you doing here, Andrea?" Andy asked her. "The Captain said that you guys might need a DDA, so I volunteered" Andrea said as she watched what was going on.

"I don't know what you are talking about" Goldman stated. "Really?" Provenza asked. "You see Peter, these four photos of the Captain, her son Rusty, and Lieutenant Flynn were all discovered in Philip Stroh's apartment yesterday" Provenza added. "What does that have to do with me?" Goldman asked. "I mean, Philip escaped from custody a couple of years ago. I had nothing to do with that" he continued to say. "Oh, we know you had nothing to do with his escape from the judge's chambers. But did you know that he was up to his old tricks?" Sharon added as she pulled out the newspaper article about the missing women in Monterey. Goldman looked at the article.

"Yes, he was up to his old tricks, he even attacked myself and Lieutenant Flynn" Sharon said. "Unfortunately for him, the only place he's going now is the morgue" she continued. Goldman looked up, "Stroh's dead?" he said as he looked at her. "Yes" Sharon said. "Self-defense ruled by the Monterey Police Department" she continued to add. "And I thought you would want due process Captain?" Goldman stated to Sharon. "Oh, I think I got due process for him" Sharon said. "But let's get back to the question at hand, shall we?" Sharon said as she looked over to Provenza.

Goldman continued to look at the Captain and the Lieutenant as Provenza continued to speak. "You see Peter, whomever sent these photos to Stroh knew where he was staying. And, added notes with the photos. Now, I'm not a forensics expert here but" as Provenza shows Goldman the report "the handwriting matches". Goldman was starting to get twitchy sitting there while listening to them. "Furthermore, there were fingerprints discovered on the notes and an envelope that was intercepted yesterday by our friends at the post office" Sharon said as she showed him all the evidence. "Those fingerprints came back to you, Peter" Sharon concluded and waited for a reply.

Peter Goldman looked down and took a deep breath then looked back up. "Okay" he started to say. "I'm sure you're really proud Captain" he snarled. "I did it; I sent those letters to Stroh. He wanted proof that you were still in LA" he confessed. "Why? Why did he want proof?" Provenza asked him. "He didn't tell me why" Goldman replied. "Who took those photos?" Sharon demanded. Goldman just looked at her. "Who took them?" She yelled. "One of my investigators did" Goldman finally answered. "How did you know where to send them to?" Sharon quickly asked him. "He was the one who got in touch with me" Goldman stated. "So you mean to tell us that while you were here defending Reverend Price, you were in touch with Stroh?" Provenza asked him. "Yes" was all that Goldman said. Provenza leaned back in his chair and looked over at Sharon. "But, you can't charge me with accessory to murder. I didn't know he was killing again" he added.

"You're right, Peter, but we can get you on violation of privacy, specifically on intrusion of solitude" Provenza stated to him. "That's not a criminal offense. It's a civil rights violation at best. You know about those don't you Captain?" Goldman said directing that to Sharon. "We can also charge you with harboring a fugitive because you knew where Stroh was at, you were in communication with him" Sharon added as she glared at him. "A fine at best" Goldman said being all smug.

Sharon looked up at the camera in the room and Andrea took that as her cue. "Well, this should be fun" Andrea said as she walked out of electronics and into the interview room. "Well, Peter Goldman, I am going to charge you with those counts and we will take it from there" Andrea said as she walked into the room. Provenza stood up and walked around the table. He motioned for Goldman to stand up as well.

"This is going to give me great pleasure, but I think I'll let the Captain place the cuffs on you" Provenza said as he handed his cuffs to Sharon. "Peter Goldman, you are under arrest" Sharon said as she placed the cuffs on his hands behind his back. Two uniform officers then came in and took him down to booking. "We will see what sticks" Andrea said to Sharon as she walked out behind the officers. Sharon turned around and shook Provenza's hand and they both walked out of the room.

Everyone walked out of the electronics room and congratulated the Captain on a job well done. "I just wanted to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication to this team, I really do appreciate it and every one of you" Sharon said to them. "You're welcome Captain" Amy said as she went back to her desk to start on some paperwork. Mike did the same thing. Julio asked if he should call off the two SWAT officers from her condo. Sharon nodded to him and looked back at Andy who was speaking to Provenza.

"So, did you get Patrice something when you guys got married?" Andy asked him as he scratched the side of his face with his finger. Provenza just looked at him and said "No, she got me, that was her present". Andy just looked at him and shook his head as Provenza walked back to his desk. Sharon looked at Andy inquisitively and gestured for him to follow her into her office.

She walked into her office and shut the blinds. Andy followed her in and closed the door behind him. She walked up to him and gave him a kiss on his lips. Andy embraced her even more and deepened the kiss further. They broke apart when the need for air was strong. "I'm so very proud of you Sharon" Andy said as he smiled to her. "I'm just glad it's over" Sharon said as she rested in Andy's arms and laid her head on his shoulder. They just stood there in her office holding one another. "Why would Stroh want proof we were still in LA?" Sharon asked him quietly. "I don't know, because he was a sick bastard?" Andy said as he continued to hold her and rub her back.

A couple of minutes later, there was a knock on her door. The two of them pulled apart. Sharon fixed her blouse. "Come in" she said. Provenza walked in carrying paperwork, "Captain, here are the reports of our investigation all ready for your approval" he said as he placed them on her desk. "I'll see you guys tomorrow at the courthouse?" Provenza asked. "Yes Lieutenant, see you there. Everyone else can leave too" Sharon said. Provenza nodded to Andy and then closed the door behind him.

Andy looked at his watch; it was now 1:30 in the afternoon. "It's still early. What do you say we head out of here and head back to your condo and change" Andy said as Sharon smiled back at him. It was still early out. "I want to take you out tonight for dinner and maybe some dancing" Andy added as he pulled her in for a kiss. "Okay, just let me pack up my things and we can go" Sharon said as she walked back to her desk to gather up some stuff. She grabbed her purse and the two of them headed out of the Murder Room and towards the elevators.

Once they were inside the elevator, Andy held Sharon close to him. They stepped out and headed to their car. "Oh, um, I'd like to stop on the way home and buy you something special, for tomorrow" Andy said sheepishly to her as they got to their car. "Okay" she said as she smiled at him while he opened the car door for here. "Oh my gosh!" Sharon exclaimed. "We need to go to a jewelry store and buy our wedding bands" she said as she sat down on the passenger side. Andy leaned into the passenger side where Sharon was sitting. "Sharon, relax" he said as he caressed her hand and leaned in to kiss her. Andy got an idea as he went around to the driver's side and got in. They pulled out of the parking garage and he headed towards the 101. "Where are we heading?" Sharon asked as Andy pulled onto the 101 and headed west. Andy just smiled at her and continued driving. "You'll see" he said.
