RECAP:

"Surrender Ken," Touya said looking at Ken who is unaware of a S.W.A.T officer on a near by tree ready to shoot.

"I guess I might, if Shuuichi would do me a favor." Ken said looking at Touya then to Shuuichi.

"I'll do anything if you'll let Botan go." Shuuichi said walking out behind the cop and in front of him.

"Good, then I'll let her go." Ken said looking at Shuuichi, "If you'll let me shoot you." Ken added watching Shuuichi carefully.

"I'm fine with that, just make sure you'll let her go." Shuuichi said standing to a place where Ken had a clean shot of him.

"Shuuichi, No!" Touya ordered but without warning two gunshot were fired.

Chapter Fourty-One: At Least 3 Different Cases

After two gunshot were fired time seems to stop for a while. No one move, everyone is trying to feel the situation until finally. Botan felt the hand that was restraining her loosens and Ken fell to the ground followed by Shuuichi himself.

"Shuuichi!" Botan shouted running toward Shuuichi and craddled his head on her lap, pain forgotten.

"I need a medic." Touya shouted walking pass Shuuichi and Ken. "Who gave you the order?" Touya added grabbing the colar of the S.W.A.T guy who had climed down from his position on the tree.

"Sir, I'm a S.W.A.T, I'm trained to save the hostage Sir." The S.W.A.T guy answered Touya.

"Yes, but you are also trained to follow the lead commander, as I remember the lead commander is Lt. Garson and he didn't give any orders." Touya said still holding the S.W.A.T guy in the colar.

"Sir, I'm sorry but I have no choice, the suspect was about to pull the triger and the gun was pointed directly on Mr. Minamino's chest. It was a now or never decision Sir." The S.W.A.T guy answered explaining to Touya about the measure of his action.

"I got it but next time, give a signal before you shoot." Touya said releasing the guy then walk to where Ken was being arrested.

"Don't I get to go to the hospital?" Ken aqsked Touya as he stop in front of him.

"It's just a shot on the shoulder no biggy." Touya said looking at Ken. "Take him." Touya ordered to the arresting officer standing beside Ken.

SHUUICHI AND BOTAN PART...

"Shuuichi." Botan said as tears fell from her eyes.

"Botan, I'm sorry." Shuuichi said reaching to wipe away her tear stained face. "Ken was right, I married you to avenge my father's death for my foolishment on thinking that he had killed my father, but I didn't plan on falling in love with you, which I did, because believe me or not, I love you Botan." Shuuichi added as he tried to put more pressure on the wound.

"Shuuichi, please, stop talking and save your strength." Botan said as she still held his head.

"Mrs. Minamino, we need to bring you and your husband to the hospital." One of the paramedic who had arrive said.

"I understand." Botan said as the medic help both her and Shuuichi to the ambulance.

After the first ambulance the second ambulance left with Sean and two cops as escort. Botan had told Touya about Sean when Touya had asked her how she was doing. Touya who understand had given his word to Botan that he'll help Sean so he would have a lesser sentence. So now Sean had been given a deal, a lesser sentence in exchange for standing up on court against Ken.

"I'm heading back to the P.D." Touya said to Jamie after the two ambulance had left. "Got to book Ken." Touya added motioning to the squad car that was leaving with Ken sitting at the back sit both hand are handcuff on his back.

"Okay, don't worry about me, I got this, beside I have back-up coming." Jamie said getting out her kit from the officer's car. "Can you drop this off to the lab and tell Mike to process it." Jamie added handing Touya an evidence bag with the 9 mm with a rush on the tag.

"Sure thing." Touya said before leaving with the squad car following behind his car.

HOSPITAL...

"Ma'am, I'm sorry but we need to get your husband to the operating room." A nurse said as she stop Botan from going further. "Also, we need to check you up." the nurse added seeing the bloodn on Botan's legs.

Before Botan could argue she was already being pulled by another nurse towards another direction. As Botan followed the nurse, she finally felt the pain again.

"Mrs. Minamino, are you okay?" The nurse asked when she had notice Botan stop and clutch her stomach in pain.

"My stomach, it hurts." Botan said and finally the realization that the baby might be in danger, now that the fear of Ken is gone. "I'm pregnant, my baby..." Botan added incoherently and before she could say something more, she fainted.

The nurse caught her on time and called for help. As help came, they wheeled Botan to the emergency room to save the baby that the nurse found is in grave danger.

OPERATING ROOM...

"I got flat line!" The doctor shouted as the heart monitor went flat.

TOKYO POLICE DEPARTMENT...

Touya went in his desk to see if the report of the said accident on Shuuichi's company had been left on his desk. As he saw it, he read the report and as he goes on a smile slowly formed in his lips. The smile stayed on his lips as he walk towards the interogation room where Ken is being held while a paramedic fix his bleeding arm.

INTEROGATION ROOM...

"Ken." Touya said as he entered the room.

Ken grunted, more from Touya's nerve of greeting him than the pain the paramedic is causing him in stiching him up.

"Hey, you don't have to talk to me, I already got you in many charges." Touya said after waiting for the paramedic to leave which is fater 15 minutes later.

"Really, then why am I still here? Shouldn't I be in jail by now?" Ken said taunting Touya but Touya knew better.

"Very funny Ken but don't worry, you'll be in jail soon. I just want you to know that we're trialing you at least with more than 3 diffrent cases which will send you to jail without parole, and if we're lucky maybe we can make it into death penalty, that would be even better." Touya said before leaving Ken to the two officer who escort Ken back to his cell.

As Touya walk back to his office, his cellphone rang and it was Jake, calling him about the SUV that was used for the drive by. According to Jake, the car was owned by the suspect Ken Ikusawa and the reason why it took him so long to track it down was because Ken was smart enough to cover his tracks but not that smart that he slip.

Touya smiled again after Jake phone call. He'd been smilling so much in just one day. Touya flip his phone on and dialed Jamie's number.

PHONE CONVERSATION...

"Caine." Jamie said as she answered her phone.

"Jamie, it's me Touya, did you saw an SUV in there?" Touya asked as he went to his desk and look at Jake's report about the SUV.

"Yeah, and I've done a preliminary check and found one shell casing, who ever cleaned it didn't clean it well, anyway we're towing it to the garage right now to strip the car and as for the bullet shell casing it's the same shell casing founbd on the drive by an AK-14." Jamie said as she watch a CSI Truck pulling the SUV towards one of their empty garage to be strip and search thoroughly.

"Good, I'll ask someone to drop Jake's report about the SUV to you." Touya said before saying goodbye to Jamie after she had thank him.

END OF PHONE CONVERSATION

HOSPITAL ROOM...

Shuuichi woke up feeling very weak but his weakness was replaced by worry when he realized he was in the hospital room and he didn't know what happened to Botan. Shuuichi sat right up but then clutch his chest in pain.

"Where's Botan?" Shuuichi cough out in pain to Sam who was sitting on a chair beside his bed while at the same time trying to ignore the pain as much as he could.

"She's in the other room, she'll be having an ultra sound this morning." Sam said pushing Shuuichi to lay down while Shuuichi reluctantly did.

Sam had been checking up on both Shuuichi and Botan, he even went to Sean's room who according to Botan was a nice man. He was in Sean's room when Touya questioned him and Sean gave his sentence. He even found out that the doctor's almost lost Sean when he had flat lined, good thing they could save him.

"What's wrong? Is she okay? Is the baby okay?" Shuuichi asked quickly as he struggle to get out of the bed but failed because of the pain making him groaned instead.

"Botan is fine, but as for the baby, the doctor don't know yet, that's why they are doing the ultra sound to find out." Sam said and then added. "Also, Botan ordered me to stop you from doing anything stupid."

"But..."

"Don't worry after the ultra sound, Botan would visit you and tell you everything, but for now, you need to rest." Sam said finally convincing Shuuichi who relax on the bed and slowly close his eyes from exhaustion and to think he didn't do anything but tried his best to get out of the bed and go to Botan.

ULTRA SOUND ROOM (A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHUUICHI HAD WOKE UP)...

"Are you ready for the ultra sound?" The doctor asked Botan when he had entered the room.

"I'm a little scared actually." Botan answered truthfully even though te pain was gone, there is still no guarantee that the baby is okay.

"According to your check up last night, the baby is still there, we just need to be sure that his okay." The doctor said. "There's a difference between knowing the baby is still there and the baby is okay." The doctor added to further explain.

"I guess we need to get it over with." Botan simply said.
