Chapter four
"Eagles and Angels?" Fernando asked looking up from the table.
"It's a... Program run by a Lisa. It's to pay respects to Dead cops." Ron said.
"I don't get it?" Fernando blinked.
"When you're in the field... You're an eagle ... When you die... You're an angel." Alex looked up.
"OHHH!" Fernando's eyes went big.
Emma rolled her eyes. She was sitting behind Lincoln. They had their hands laced under the table.
"Hey! The pictures are almost done printing." Bellick was looking at the printer.
Michael rolled his eyes pointing to the board for Bellick to pin them up, Katt didn't even know what to say before glancing up at Michael.
"So how are three wanted convicts going to get into a room full of pigs and not get found out…?" Katt said while glaring to Lincoln.
A phone now rung catching everyone off guard, Emma stared when she noticed it was her. "Oh me…" she jumped up letting Lincoln's hand go heading into another room.
"Emma, it's Self, I wanted to inform you that your father has been found dead in his apartment…" Don spoke slowly, his voice didn't seem to connect, "It looks like a suicide, but I think you need to watch your backs!" he spoke carefully, and Emma felt her stomach sink.
"You're saying The Company, they…" her voice broke, for once in her life she was getting along with her father, it wasn't true.
"I'm sorry to deliver bad news, but you have to keep…" Emma didn't hear the rest of what he had to say throwing the phone violently at the wall hearing it smash echo around the room.
"No…" she whispered to herself falling down the wall her knees coming up to her face, tears spilling over her eyelids. "No!" her crying now getting louder.
Michael, Lincoln, Fernando and Katt were all quick to rush to the other room hearing the crash, sitting in the corner was Emma curled in on herself crying.
"Emma, what happened?" Katt said softly going to move close to her friend, but Lincoln was quick to rush to Emma's side making Katt glare.
"Emma, who was it?" Lincoln asked touching her carefully, but Emma kept crying, her head refusing to look up.
Emma continued crying harder, Making the protective ball around her tighter.
Lincoln's fingers ran up her arm. "Emma..." He whispered again, Soft and careful.
"AHHHHHH!" Emma screamed like The Doctor did when The Master died in 'The Last of the Time Lords'
Lincoln jumped in surprise.
Michael, Fernando and Katt were all surprised. Katt reacted the quickest. She grabbed the phone that was on the floor, checking the ID with 'Restricted.'. "It was Self." She looked at them.
"Emma what did Douche bag say?" Lincoln whispered.
Emma felt dizzy, hyperventilation kicking in.
Katt got beside Emma fast. "Emma, Emma, Emma, in nose and out nose. In out." Katt grabbed Emma's tightly held hand.
"My, Dad, was, murdered…" Emma said slowly trying to remember how to breathe, but her chest hurt, "He died because he helped me… Help you!" Emma now pointed her finger at Michael.
Michael stood frozen before Fernando made a cross across his chest then kissing his cross slowly. Katt stared at Emma for a long moment, she knew that Emma never saw eye to eye with her father, but it didn't mean that she didn't love the guy.
"I brought him into this, and his dead because of me, I fail again!" Emma jumped to her feet grabbing her bag, "I need to get some air, no one follow me!" she snapped while heading out the warehouse leaving everyone behind.
"I'm gonna call Self, you guys start getting what we need to get into that event!" Michael now glanced to Katt shocked by Emma's walking out.
"I'll find her…" Katt said getting to her feet when Lincoln did as well.
"No I'll go…" he said while Katt placed a hand on his chest her eyes meeting his quickly before taking a deep breath.
"Linc, as much as I hate you, I think you are needed here, I am going to find Emma, I'll know where she'll be heading."
Lincoln glared. "I know her too!" He snapped.
Katt glared as well. "As much as I'd like to prove you wrong, it's about Emma right now. STAY!" She stabbed him with her finger.
She walked over to Fernando, grabbing his phone from his pocket. "I'll return it 'Nando." She smiled before taking off after Emma quickly who was ten feet ahead of her.
Emma stepped into the liquor store, her heart pounding in her chest as she walked down the rows of different types of booze, her hands trembled as she started to pick up a few bottles of JD walking to the counter she placed the bottles down before glancing behind herself, her fingers twirled her hair as the woman started to ring it up. "Cash or credit?" the woman said as Emma didn't think taking out her credit card, "anything else?" she asked as Emma snapped looking to her.
"Twenty Molbra…" the woman picked up the smokes ringing them up before charging it to the card, Emma sighed before taking the bags walking out the store, and her eyes kept glancing around herself.
Katt walked out of another bar, Emma why have you failed me, Katt thought running her hands through her hair, she didn't understand, how can she just disappear, Katt now glanced to the phone seeing the time, she wished she could just think. Turning around Katt now had an idea to go checking booze shops.
Emma sat looking at the ships, she was sitting at a dockyard, she brought the bottle of jack to her lips drinking is slowly, her eyes stared blankly out onto the water, but she didn't cry, her eyes must have run out of tears, her head hurt, but she light up another smoke feeling it burn in her throat before exhaling it, drinking more, the pain wasn't so bad anymore, she could look at the water. Watch it like it was calling her.
Katt had given up. She was heading back to the warehouse before seeing the cargo crane. Loading dock, Upset, Emma...
She detoured fast and moved pretty quick scanning the dock yards.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMA???" She called.
Emma jumped from her trance she moved back more into the shadows. Katt now stood still watching her, "Emma, come off it…" she said while Emma stepped out holding the bottle and the smoke. "Why?" she said when Emma sat back down drinking more.
Katt now moved closer to Emma her hand took the smoke away throwing it to the ground, then went to take the drink, but Emma growled low. "Ok you can keep that one…" Katt said taking the other bottles before sighing. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." she threw the remaining bottles into the water. "You can't blame yourself for everything to go wrong Emma!" Katt said while Emma drunk more, her face was a blank page. "Emma, I'm the cold heartless bitch, not you!" she sat down watching Emma take out another smoke. "Emma you can't ignore me forever…" she said watching her friend lighting up.
"I want to be alone, is that so impossible for you people to understand!" Emma said finally before inhaling, her eyes harsh.
"Because you're a fucking emo and I'm not taking the chances!" Katt snapped.
"I'm NOT SUICIDAL!" Emma snapped.
"You. Are. An. Emo. Yes. You. Are!" Katt narrowed her eyes.
Emma stood up. Dropping the bottle it smashed. She pushed Katt back.
Katt stumbled but kept balance. "Go 'head do it again!" She said.
Emma hissed pushing her again. "LEMME ALONE!!!!!!!'' Katt regained her balance again before throwing the phone at her; Emma caught it before glancing back to her, he eyes filled with tears.
"You want to be a bitch fine! Just make sure you phone an ambulance when you make another accident…" Katt turned around walking away, she didn't need to deal with this shit, and Emma sat back down playing with the phone before glancing at the glass on the floor.
Katt walked back into the warehouse when seeing Alex Michael and Lincoln coming back, she tried not to laugh seeing them all in the uniforms. Alex's tilted the hat giving Katt a wink as she rolled her eyes, "Norry hunny, cops don't do it for me…" he now nodded heading over to Ron, his eyes were serious.
"Katt where's Emma?" Lincoln asked while glancing around, Katt now felt her eyes snap on Lincoln.
"She's made it clear, she wanted to be alone…" her eyes going to Fernando, "she's got your phone, I told her she might need it when she tries to off herself again!"
Lincoln slapped Katt across the face.
Katt's head went to the side. "Wow." She turned her head back looking at Lincoln.
"HOW DARE YOU! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" Lincoln growled.
"OI! BACK OFF!" Alex pushed Lincoln away.
"No. No. Please don't defend me." Katt stood right. "I don't fucking deal with emo shit! I try twice, I failed that. I DON'T CARE!" She stormed away.
Michael looked to Lincoln before hearing his phone ring, Lincoln and Alex were now both locked into a death staring contest.
"Hello…" Michael said slowly while he looked to the caller ID knowing it was Fernando's phone.
"Hey Michael, funny Fernando doesn't have Linc's number…" Emma said slowly, and Michael stared at Fernando who held his hands up. "Did you know you're number is under fish…" Emma added while Michael stared to Fernando even wider eyes.
"Emma, are you ok?" Michael said as Emma was now walking slowly back t the warehouse, she glanced around herself.
"Erm, yeah, can you pass me to Lincoln please?" her voice soft, so Michael took a deep breath passing the phone to an over egger Lincoln.
"Emma, where are you?" He said. His voice panicked, but Emma was more focus on walking straight.
"I'm on my way back; I just want to tell you, I am so sorry, I wish I could say to your face, Lincoln, I lost everything, I don't think I can live if I lose you…"
Lincoln was listening to her. He thought he might cry. He ran to the warehouse door looking out of it quickly.
Emma sobbed, because she could. "I love yo..." She froze seeing a man, watching her.
He started walking toward her. Emma looked paranoid. She dropped the phone and took off running fast over a bank.
