Author's note: dear readers, thank you so much for your reviews. This is gonna be a short chapter since it is about Pete and I don't like him very much, but I thought he isn't going to let Sam leave and then disappear forever as much as I would like that ;o).
Chapter 5
It was in the middle of the night and Pete Shannahan paced up and down in the Police Department in Denver. Within the moment he had found Sam's note, he went to his office and tried to track her.
"There is no way she is leaving me. She will come back. She is my wife. She will stay with me forever."
Noone left Pete Shannahan.
Looking at the monitor he murmured: "I knew it was a good idea to attach a GPS to her car. She is not going to leave me."
Pete snapped his fingers when a red spot blinked on the monitor. Suddenly the door slammed.
"She's with him. She's with him." He uttered between clenched teeth while he was leaving the Denver Police Department.
Sitting in his car he thought about Sam. Although she had never said something about O'Neill having a place to live in Minnesota, he knew it. And mentally he slapped himself on the shoulder for running background on every of Sam's friends; especially on her friends from work. He knew Sam and O'Neill had been close before the wedding but he himself had put that to a hold. Another mental slap on the shoulder. O'Neill wouldn't get the chance to take Sam away from him. Nobody would and she would get to know what it means to leave a Pete Shannahan.
