Thanks to those that reviewed and for the help that you gave me :P xx

Im really sorry for the long wait family and school and a bad case of writers block got me and a small case of Must-watch-all-of-Xena this is the final chapter it's a longish chapter for me. I hope its good i had to re-write it a bunch of times maybe 5 times but its 5:41 am and i have to be up at 10 so I stuck with this :P

Oh and if there is any spelling/grammar mistakes please tell me and i will change them :) X when i have slept i will edit the other chapters to make it more readable (so bare with me)

Enjoy

"Steve what the hell "

"Jinksy, oh gee, come on dude wake up" Claudia spoke while slapping Steve's face. Steve groaned before opening his eyes to meet brown ones, "Claude what you hit me with" her face fell "That's what you're most bothered about what I hit you with… Gee some friend you are" she spoke getting up holding out her hand. "That's not what I meant "Steve spoke while taking her hand in his "I'm just messing with you Jinksy."

"So Jinksy. How are we getting out of here?" Claudia asked. "We could sneak past them. And slip out the front door" he suggested. "How about you two stay for a little while longer" Spoke Wesley at the door startling the two agents. "Well that's just great, we'd love to stay but dinners soon so… goodbye… Wesley, nice meeting you , let's go Jinksy " spoke Claudia shaking Wesley hand before heading out the door. Leaving a stunned Steve and a stunned Wesley "Not too fast" Wesley spoke putting a hand on her shoulder "one day that will work ,one day" she muttered to herself "upstairs now, both of you " he spoke pushing them out of the basement and up the stairs to the main hall

….With Pete and Myka…..

"So you know what you have to do, no matter what's going on in there you do it. Promise me Pete you'd stay out and do your part" spoke Myka, worry gripping her voice "I don't see why I can't –"Myka interrupted Pete "PROMISE ME PETE. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or Claudia or Steve" Pete stepped towards Myka pulling her into a hug "Hey , I promise, I'll stay out and do my part, You're not alone, Remember you have me, Claude, Artie , Steve and Leena , So promise me you won't do anything stupid, if you do I could have an small accident with coke and your books , so be careful" She let out a small laugh "I promise…you ready"

"Yep"

….Back with Steve and the Crimson's …

"So nice of you to join us again" Spoke Carlos lighting up a new cigar "I must say Miss Donovan, you are smart. For your age, I must say I wish my boys had your brains. And Steven nice try at scaring me, but it didn't work; you just made your death a lot more painful" He stood, before leaning down to the agents who sat on the sofa, before whispering in to Steve's ear "you're going to watch me kill your friend"

Before Steve could get his hand round Carlos's neck, the lights went out and the door flew open "What the HELL is going on, Wesley GET THE GUNS" Carlos shouted as Wesley was hit with a blue light , he watched as his son fell slumped to the floor. Before the blue flash of light headed straight for him, sending him to floor like his son. "Okay Pete you can turn the lights back on… yea there're fine… Claudia, Steve you two all right" Myka spoke before being engulfed by Claudia "Yea Myks you know us" Claudia spoke letting Myka go "were fine Myka, Thanks for coming" Steve spoke looking round at the Crimsons on the floor something's not right.

"Let's get out of here the place , gives me the creeps and you Claude, need shower, you smell, bad" laughed Myka while slinging her arm round the redhead shoulders

"I don't think so" Spoke a man coming out the shadows "nobody leaves or Steve dies" Arthur warned gun raised at Steve "It's over Arthur, you lost, put the gun down, just let us go an-"Steve was interrupted "NO STEVE, it's not over I still have a gun pointed at you, STOP MOVING Myka is it ,I think that's your name, anyway stay where you are or someone will get shot, and it won't be me" Arthur spoke gun lingering on all three of them stopping Myka in her tracks.

"Dude just let us go, You can still win , let us go and you win" Pleaded Claudia as the gun still lingered on all three of them "I'm sorry , But you see I can't let you go BECAUSE Your friend Myka hasn't listened " He rested his head on his shoulder before smiling.

Steve watch how time seemed to slow down as the lights went off once more stunning all four of them, the flash of blue from Myka's teslar, The sound out a gun shot and the sound of two bodies hitting the floor, one after the other . Steve stood in silence not wanting to know who fell , For all he knew it could have been him , It wasn't , as the lights slowly can back on reviling Myka standing ,teslar slowly failing out of her grip ,Her face looking at where Claudia Stood, eyes wide open full of horror and blame. Steve slowly turned his head.

"Claude, CLAUDIA!" he rushed to her side, all he sore was blood lots of blood her blood , he found finally found his voice "Myka Call and ambulance, MYKA please" fear gripped his voice, he brushed some hair off her forehead before applying pressure on to her wound. "Steve, she's gone, just look at her, I'm too late again" spoke Myka who clutched the Phone as she knelt down next to him holding her hand tears slipping off her face "No, Myka this is Claudia, She never gives up, I won't let her"

"Claudia hey come on please, please breath Claudia don't give up" his voice filled with pain, sadness, tears dripping on to her chest one after the other "come on Claude"

"You lost me once but I came back you made me come back so you can come back please Claudia breath" His voice cracking and failing. "Steve, Stop she's lost too much blood, Steve please stop, please" Myka spoke pulling him slowly from Claudia. He struggled "get off me, she's not gone, she's not please, One more please, one more try" she let him go and left to greet the ambulance as it pulled up outside.

"If you leave me Claude, I'd never forgive you" and with that he punched her chest. Making Claudia gasp of air "Hey." He spoke softly looking directly in to her brown eyes, tears spilling down his face as he let the paramedics finally get her.

…... 3 weeks later…..

It was the day of the funeral, and Steve wasn't looking forward to it, "you need help there" a voice came from the door "No I'm fine Myka, really" he spoke facing her she was wearing a long black dress and he was wearing a black suit . Yep he really hates funerals "it's okay Steve. You know it wasn't your fault." She spoke looking straight at him. "Myka, I said I'm fine, stop worrying please it not about me today is it" He spoke passing her as he headed down to meet Pete , Artie and Leena "Where Claude?" he asked "She's already there" Pete replied " let's go .Out now all of you were late, Go" shouted Artie pushing them all out in to the cars.

"Hey"

"Hey to you to Jinksy thought you were going to miss it"

"I wish I could"

"Hey its Mrs F's grandson, so show some respect, she's family too Jinksy "

"Yea distant family Ow, Stop, Stop ow okay I take it back, Claudia, I take it back"

"Good now sing".
