The next few days were calm to an extent. Bob remained in a coma but Reagan was doing better. She was recovering from the gunshot wound well. Randy, John and the rest of the department were hunting for Michael. There had been no signs of him since he held Kallie, John, Henry and Bob hostage. Kallie had called Krista in California and she was safe.
"Kallie, I wish you would go to California until we catch Cole." John said as they were getting ready to head to the hospital.
"It wouldn't matter. He knows where Krista is." She replied as she packed Henry's diaper bag.
"Alright, but do not go anywhere with the guards." He had hired two private bodyguards for her and Henry. He wasn't going to take the chance that Cole would go after her again and this time get her.
"I won't." She kissed him. "Now, let's go see my dad and Randy."
They headed out to her SUV and were soon on their way to the hospital. Once they got there, they headed to see Reagan first.
"Hey, you look better." Kallie said walking in.
"Thanks." Reagan replied. "My ex brought Max by earlier. It was great to see my baby."
"Good. I'm glad he did. So, are you heading back to Randy's after you get out?"
"Yes. I heard him you know."
"Heard him say what?" Kallie asked as she held Henry. John and Randy were talking outside.
"That he was in love with me." She smiled.
"Do you love him?"
"I do. I never wanted to fall in love with him but I am."
"That's great. I'm happy. My brother deserves someone great. Someone who won't cheat on him like his first wife."
"I'm afraid though."
"You shouldn't be afraid of Randy. He is a great guy."
"I'm not afraid of him. I'm afraid of being in love again." She turned to look out the window. "Love is great. It's great being in love but hurts so much when it ends."
"Not all love ends. Look at me and John. We have been married a while and are still in love."
"Do you regret how you and John got together?"
"No. I could never regret that. John and I were always meant to be. Do I hate that I hurt Chris? Yes I do. But you can't help who you fall in love in with."
"I just. I don't want to be hurt."
"Reagan, there are no guarantees in life. You have to take a chance to be happy. You love Randy and he loves you. Build on that, not the pain of the past."
"Good advice."
"I can give it every now and then." Kallie laughed just as John and Randy came in. "Well, I'm going to see my dad and let Henry see his grandfather."
"Thanks for coming by." Reagan said as Kallie and John left. She then turned to Randy. "So, I think we need to talk."
"Okay about what?" He asked sitting down in the chair by the bed.
"I heard you when you said you loved me. Did you mean it?"
He sat there for a minute. He hadn't thought she was awake enough to hear him. "I meant it. I love you Reagan."
"Good. Because I love you too." She smiled.
He leaned up and kissed her before sitting back down. "So what does this mean?"
"I don't know. It's new. I think we should let it play out and see where it goes. I don't want to rush and things end badly. I want us to take our time."
"I agree." He smiled back at her.
While Randy and Reagan were talking, John and Kallie were in Bob's room. There had been no change in his condition. They didn't stay long as John and Randy wanted to work on the case some more. They had to find Cole before he hurt anyone else.
Michael Cole had watched Randy and John leave the hospital. He knew this was his chance to be rid of Bob forever. Once Bob was dead, he could go after the others. He quickly made his way to Bob's room. He made sure he was unseen by cameras and witnesses. He walked into the room and over to the bed.
"It's time you pay for everything." Michael whispered as he got out the syringe. He walked over to the IV. "This is the finale. Once you're dead, I will kill the rest of your family."
Michael smiled as he injected the air bubble into the IV. He turned off the machine and placed his hand over Bob's mouth so he couldn't scream in case he woke up out of the coma. Once he was certain Bob was dead, he walked out of the room. Now on to the next stage of his plan, he had to lure the others into the trap.
He headed to the daycare center where Randy's daughter was. He saw her playing in the sandbox outside. He walked over to where she was. He saw that the day care worker was taking care of another child. He took out the rag with the cholform on it and placed it over her mouth. Once she was out, he quickly made his way to his car. He knew it was only a matter of time before they noticed she was missing.
A few minutes after she was taken, the daycare worker noticed that Camryn was gone. The whole daycare center looked everywhere and couldn't' find her. They called Randy and Kinley who came quickly.
"What happened? You were supposed to be the best and safest daycare in Boston." Randy yelled when he came in.
"I turned away for a minute and then she was gone." The worker said.
"I can't believe this." Kinley said as Mark comforted her.
"I'm going to find my daughter." Randy quickly left. He called John and told him what happened.
He made his way over to John's house. Just as he was, he got a called telling him that Bob was dead. He knew all of this was Michael Cole and it was time find him and killed him. It was time to end this once and for all. Just as he was on his was to John's house, he got a call from Cole.
"Hello." Randy said answering it.
"Hello Randal." Michael said.
"Where is my daughter?"
"She is safe for now. Here is how this will go. You will come to this address, 278 North Collins and we will see what we can come up with." Cole hung up before Randy could say anything.
Randy arrived at John's and headed in. He would need John and Jay to help him with Michael. He walked in and found Kallie crying. He knew the hospital had called her about Bob.
"You heard about dad?" He asked.
"Yes." Kallie replied through the tears. She looked up and noticed her brother's face. "What?"
"Cole has Camryn. He called me and wants me to meet him at an address."
"You're not going alone." John said standing up. "I'm coming."
"I need you and Jay. It's time to end this once and for all."
John kissed Kallie and told her that he loved her and Henry. Then he and Randy headed out. They called Jay on the way to the address and he said he would meet them there. It was time they all confronted Cole together.
