Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, unfortunately.
Summary: "Man, I'm telling you, just call her! I bet Rory is thinking about you too," Parker said. It's time to love everyday. Rory/Tristan romance thrown with some Lorelei/ Luke romance. Rated MA for later language and sexual innuendos.
Recap: "Great, we'll get someone to follow him right away before we do anything. Then we'll question him tomorrow. Would you be up for following him?"
"Whatever I can do to help solve this case. Is it alright if Tristan comes along? He was in the army with me," Bruce said and putting in a good word for Tristan.
"Two sets of eyes are better than one," the boss said.
Chapter 12: Finally Some Action
Tristan and Bruce had been waiting for three hours for someone to come out. The house only had one light on and it looked like it was an office. Then the light turned off and the front door opened. The guy locked the door and got in the Chevy.
Once the car turned into the road, Bruce turned the car on. He put the lights on but dimmed them as low as it could go. They followed until the suspect pulled into a factory. Of what Bruce told Tristan, the factory had been out of business for thirteen years and hasn't been used since.
They got out of the car and peeked inside the factory. They saw the suspect and several weapons. Bruce finally had some evidence so he snapped a couple pictures. Bruce told Tristan to stay there so he could get something from the car. Bruce came back with a small video camera. Bruce stuck it to the wall and angled it towards the suspect.
Once they got back in the car, Bruce said, "I put that camera up so we would know when he left. We're going to go back to the house and check for more evidence."
"Can we do that?" Tristan said a bit scared and excited.
"Technically no but when we know that the suspect isn't there we can. We just have to be on high alert. We believe someone else is working with him," Bruce said.
"Ok then, what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Tristan said.
Once they got to the house, Bruce picked the lock and got inside. It was just one floor so it probably won't take so long, Tristan said to calm his nerves down. Bruce took the left side of the house whereas Tristan took the right. Tristan opened the first door and saw a bedroom. The second door was a bathroom and when he shined his flashlight he saw blood. He used the watch that Bruce gave him to communicate if they saw anything. Bruce was there in a second and took a swipe of the blood and sealed it in a baggie. When Bruce opened the shower curtain they saw a man bounded and gagged. Bruce took the tape off and then the rope to let the man speak.
"Levi should be back with some type of weapon to kill me. You should leave," Troy said with panic in his voice.
"Who are you and what's your relationship to Levi?" Bruce asked sternly.
"I'm Troy Spelling and I was helping Levi but once I found out that Rory was pregnant, I've been helping her. It didn't help much since she lost the baby," Troy said.
Tristan was shocked. He had no idea that Rory was pregnant. When they had sex they used protection and Rory took the pill. He never thought that someone could still get pregnant.
"I'm guessing you're the boyfriend. Rory should still be alive. Levi never had any intention of killing her, at least, not that I know of," Troy said.
They heard a car door slam and Tristan and Bruce booked it out of there. Tristan was climbing out the window when the bathroom door opened and Levi was standing there. Once he saw Tristan he roared in rage and grabbed Tristan's leg that was still in the window. Levi pulled and pulled but Tristan's leg didn't budge. Levi slammed the window down onto his leg until he heard it crack. Tristan's leg was bleeding and the bone was protruding through the skin.
"Go Bruce! I'll be fine," Tristan said, gritting his teeth from the pain.
"I never leave a follow comrade behind," Bruce said, helping Tristan get up.
"Well you might have to tonight," Tristan said and hopped to the car.
Levi was outside in an instance with a knife in his hands. Levi ran towards them while Bruce pulled his gun out quietly. Bruce aimed and fired. He got Levi right in the gut which made Levi stop. Bruce and Tristan made their way to the car when Tristan roared in pain and fell. The knife was right in his lower back.
"Go Bruce! One of us has to get out of here. Go!" Tristan yelled.
"I'll be back," Bruce yelled through the car window. He pulled the trigger twice towards Levi and left.
One of the bullets had gone through the right hand of Levi, leaving a hole in the middle. Levi was undisturbed by it and dragged Tristan into the house. They walked into the office and the wall slide open. Levi threw Tristan down the stairs and Tristan blacked out instantly. He didn't even hear Rory whimper in her sleep.
"What do you mean that Tristan got captured?" Bruce's boss yelled.
Bruce was in his boss's-Greg- office telling him what happened. He knew he would get reprimanded about it. Bruce knew that he wasn't supposed to go in the house but he took the chance and risked his best friend's life. Bruce knew it was his fault and he knew he would get fired for his irresponsibleness.
"He was injured in the leg and couldn't walk s0-," Bruce said but got interrupted yet again.
"You went into the house, found a man wounded, interrogated the wounded man, had a fight with the suspect, and left your best friend behind. After this case you will be demoted. You will be my assistant until I feel like you deserve your job back," Greg said and left the room.
"At least I still have a job," Bruce said to himself.
"Let's go Dessen! And bring my coffee," yelled Greg.
Bruce grabbed the mug from the desk and ran up to his boss. Bruce followed Greg everywhere and his fellow co-workers were laughing at him. His co-workers would even ask him to fetch them stuff and since Greg said it was fine for Bruce to take their orders. Can this day get even worse, thought Bruce?
"I can't believe that idiot got Tristan injured and captured!" fumed Lorelei.
"Lore-," Luke tried to say but Lorelei kept on ranting about the idiotic FBI agent, Bruce.
"I mean who would do that to a best friend?" Lorelei said.
"Lorelei!" Luke yelled and she stopped in her tracks and looked at Luke. "All we can do is hope for the best and wait."
"Well I hate waiting! Waiting and I don't go together," Lorelei whined.
"How about we try and forget about what happened today and focus on tonight. The food is getting cold and I know you hate it when your fries get cold," Luke said, trying to calm Lorelei down with the prospect of unhealthy food.
"That's true. I hate cold fries but I love my shake all cold," Lorelei said and dug in.
Luke looked at Lorelei and shook his head. He loved Lorelei but her choice in food was so unhealthy. Luke couldn't wait to show Lorelei the bathroom that he set up earlier. He wanted tonight to be special and to not talk or think about what was going on with the FBI.
AN: Here's the other chapter! I have poll going on, on my profile page. It's about what kind of book, movie, or TV show you want to read next. I also won't be updating this story unless I get reviews. When I don't get reviews, I don't get inspired to write so it takes me awhile (ages). So review! You can even say, good job and not go into details! I like anonymous reviews too!And you never know. More reviews might mean longer chapters. :0 Think about it. :)
