John looked at the photos again and wondered how he'd missed the clue about the left handed killer the first time. It didn't make any sense. Who would want to frame Ellie for murdering Phil? And was Drew in league with them? He sighed because he had no answers. He had to look and see if any of Drew's associates were left handed and go from there. He heard something from the hallway and looked up to see Allie standing there in the shirt he had discarded earlier.
"Hey, I didn't mean to wake you. I was just looking through some things." He said to her. He was debating about telling her about the left handed killer.
"I just woke up and you were gone. I thought maybe you skipped out on me." She said as she walked toward him. "Which would be strange since it's your apartment."
"I just couldn't sleep and I came in here and saw someone outside. I called my partner and he was sending extra patrols."
"Do you think it's Randy?" She asked sitting down by him.
"I don't know. It could have been him or Drew I guess."
"Is there something else?" She asked. "Do you regret what happened between us?"
"What?" He asked looking at her. "Course not. You have no idea how long I've wanted to take you to my bed."
"Really? You've thought about it?"
"Oh yeah. Through the entire trial when I was giving you the evidence and going over it with you. I thought about what it would be like to have you in my bed."
She smiled and kissed him. "Anything else on your mind."
"How can you read me so well?" He asked.
"I don't know. So, what's going on?"
He sighed. "My brother who has your sister sent me some information that I'm trying to make sure of."
"Like what?"
"Well, the killer was left handed. Ellie is right handed."
"That proves she's innocent?"
"Yes, it does. But it's just a starting place." He looked at Allie. "You know the law, Allie."
"Yes but its enough cause for an appeal. I can file immediately."
"Yeah you can but Ellie's on the run." She sighed.
"I know. But it's worth a shot. If I can get a hearing, I can introduce this. You can testify that a left handed person killed Phil." She replied.
"Yes, I can. Allie, do you know anyone who is left handed that might have killed Phil?"
"I can't think of anyone. Although, I don't know all of Drew's friends either."
"Well, we will figure this out. I'm just sorry that I never noticed before." He sighed.
"Why didn't you? I'm not blaming you. I'm just wondering."
"She was found covered in blood with the murder weapon in her hand. It looked like an open and shut case." He sighed. "The brass wanted the case done. We never noticed the left handed thing. And I feel like a jackass for that."
She leaned forward and kissed him. "It wasn't your fault. I looked at the photos too and I never noticed it."
"It's late. We should head back to bed."
"You just want to get me in bed again." She smiled.
"Did it work?" He smiled back showing her the dimples.
"Yes." She took his hand and they headed back to the bedroom.
Randy sat out front of John's house seething with anger. She was never supposed to know about the vasectomy. He wanted her back but he didn't want children. He just figured that they would get back together and when they started to try for a kid, she would just assume they couldn't have any. Now, he had to come up with a new plan. He hadn't done all he did to lose her now. Especially to some cop. He looked up as a police car drove by. He started the car and left. She couldn't stay with the detective forever. She had to leave sometimes and then he would take her and hopefully Finn as well.
He pulled into the driveway of the house and headed in. He knew he would be waiting for him. "You're late."
"Sorry. Got caught up."
"Stalking Allie and that detective?"
"Something like that."
"We have a lead on where Ellie is."
"How'd you get Copeland to roll on her?"
"Some simple persuasion."
"So, what's next?" Randy asked him.
"I want you find a way to get my son." Drew replied to him. "I want Finn. I don't care if you have to kill Allie and that detective. I want Finn."
"I won't kill Allie" Randy replied. "I will find the perfect time to take her and Finn. Then you will have him and I will have Allie."
"What about Detective Cena? I don't think he will go away."
"Oh, he will be taken care of."
"Excellent. Now, that I have Finn and Allie taken care of. It's time to deal with Ellie and whoever is helping her."
"Do you really hate her that much?"
"She never should have left me. She took my son from me and has kept him from me for the last few years. She's got to pay for that. I thought killing Phil and framing her for it would have done the trick. But it didn't. So now I have to take matters into my own hands."
"I don't want to know." Randy said. "I will work things out and get Finn for you and Allie for me. I just have to find the right time and be rid of that detective."
"I think I can help you with that. We will place an anonymous call and tell them somewhere that Ellie is. They will go there and Allie will be alone with Finn. You get them both and bring me my son."
Randy sighed. "Drew, I helped Ellie leave you. I didn't want you with her."
"I remember and I have never forgotten that." Drew smirked. "We had a deal. I wouldn't tell everyone about your problem and you would help me. If the MLB knew about your problem, you know you would be gone. Plus I'm giving you Allie. The one thing you want more than anything."
"Are you going to hurt Ellie?"
"You didn't want to know. Remember?"
Randy sighed again. "You can do this without hurting her."
"I tried that remember? I had Phil killed and her framed for it. But do I have my son? No, her whore sister got custody. I don't even have Ellie in jail. She's out somewhere. Now, I'm done playing nice. I want my son and nothing and no one will stop me."
"You make sure you watch your mouth about Allie. You don't scare me Drew. You lay a hand on her and I'll make for damn sure you get what's coming to you."
"I'm going to get what's coming to me. My son. Besides, I'm not the one with blood on my hands now am I?"
Randy sighed. "Just don't say anything about Allie. I told you I would get you Finn. And let me do that."
"Fine. You focus on that and I will focus on Ellie." Drew said standing up. "And I want my son soon."
Randy nodded and headed out. He had to figure out a way to get Allie and Finn alone before Drew took matters into his own hands and something bad happened.
