Last chapter! I know it's kinda dodgy, I don't think I've written such a bad ending to a story since primary school.
Thanks to anyone who's ever reviewed, it's really appreciated!
"So far twenty-eight bodies have been discovered in the field and the woods surrounding it. All in various stages of decomposition from various cases from over the last three years, they include the victim from your case and victims from the current serial killer case. Also at least a hundred illegal firearms have been recovered and numerous other types of weapons. Also all four of your kits have been recovered, two of which appear to have been blown up. Also bullets and casings have been found in the field and at the edge of the woods." Flack told them looking at his notebook.
Lindsay, Stella and Danny just sat in shock, trying to process what Flack had just told them.
"What the hell happened out there?" Flack asked breaking their train of thought.
"As we already told Danny, we aren't sure at all." Lindsay told him.
Lindsay and Stella filled Flack and Danny in on what they knew happened. Danny and Flack listened, amazed at what both women along with Mac and Hawkes had gone through the previous day.
When they had finished no-one was quite sure what to say so they sat in an awkward silence, Flack was pretending to read through his notes, Lindsay was playing with her hands, as was Danny and Stella appeared to be looking at something interesting on the clean hospital floor.
Luckily for them all a Doctor knocked on the door before entering the room. All eyes were immediately on him, hoping that he was the bearer of good news about Mac and Hawkes.
"I'm Dr Stevenson, Detective Taylor's Doctor. I'm pleased to inform you that Detective Taylor has been moved out of intensive care and onto the main wards; he should wake up soon. Also Dr Hawkes regained consciousness a while ago."
"Can we see him?" Lindsay asked.
"Yes, I'll have a nurse remove your IVs right away." The Doctor told them before leaving them alone in the room again.

All four of them stood in the corridor looking onto Hawkes' room. He was sat up in his hospital bed, his eyes looking over his own chart. His leg was in a plaster cast and there was a very visible scratch mark on his face. There was an IV in his arm and a number of monitors around him. He looked up from the chart and smiled when he saw them, signalling for them to enter the room.
Stella and Lindsay rushed over to him, glad to finally see that he was alright while Danny and Flack hovered in the doorway watching the reunion.
"Are you two alright?" Hawkes asked them.
"We're good, but what about you?" Stella asked him.
"Yeah, I'm good." Hawkes told the obviously in pain.
"Hawkes." Stella said strictly, knowing he was lying.
"Stella, I'm fine, just a little sore, that's all." Hawkes told her reassuringly. "How's Mac?"
"His Doctor told us he should wake up soon." Lindsay told him.

Hawkes woke up the next morning to find Stella asleep on a chair next to him, her head resting on his bed. He looked around and soon saw Lindsay curled up in an oversized chair, she too was asleep. Through the window he could see Danny and Flack talking in the corridor. Next to him Stella was stirring.
"Morning Stel." Hawkes whispered to her, watching as she realised her surroundings. Just then Flack and Danny entered the room each carrying a cup of coffee.
"Mornin' you two." Flack whispered.
"You look rough Stel, you alright?" Danny asked sitting on a chair at the other side of Hawkes' bed.
"Thanks Danny." Stella mumbled.
"We've just spoken to the Doctor and he told us that Mac's awake and that we can see him in a bit."
---
An hour later all five of them were crowded around Mac's hospital bed, Hawkes in a wheel chair, Stella and Lindsay were sitting next to him and Flack and Danny were standing at the foot of the bed.
"I've spoken to Detective Bains and he told me that over night they arrested nine people in connection with the discoveries in the field including the serial killer." Flack told them.
"That's a relief" Mac told them.
"That's not all. You four are all over the news." Flack said showing them the front page of a newspaper; the headline read 'serial killer arrested.' Sure enough there were pictures of all four of them and the serial killer.
"Oh man, I look really bad, how the hell did they get that picture?" Both Stella and Lindsay asked simultaneously looking at Danny and Flack knowing that at least one of them was behind the pictures being given to the press.
"Neither of you look bad, you look kinda cute Montana!" Danny told her trying not to laugh.
"I'm going to kill you Danny Messer!" Lindsay shrieked before throwing her empty polystyrene cup at him as the rest of the team watched laughing.
