JoJo, and Logan were riding on their motorcycles on their way to the bad guy hang out. Brittany had told them how to get there once she calmed down.
"JoJo, do you want those guys as badly as I do?" Logan asked over the noise of his motor.
"Of course I do!" she replied. Logan nodded. He then looked ahead again. He smiled.
oOoOo
"What was that?" Kiara asked freaked out. Ponch turned his head, then heard a gunshot.
"Guys...I think...t-t-they found...us…" he tried to say.
"Well then let's run!" Jon yelled taking off. Kiara looked at Ponch.
"Can you…" she started. Ponch put his arm around her again. She smiled, "Let's go, honey," she said. She and Ponch were going as fast as they could. They could see Jon ahead, but then suddenly Jon was down.
"Jon!?" Kiara called.
"Ahh!" Jon cried grabbing his ankle.
"T-T-That's not...g-g-good," Ponch said. He was starting to feel awful again. Resting was nice, but moving too much hurt. Kiara looked at him. She could tell she was gonna be losing him soon.
"Hey, stay with me, Ponch," she said shaking him a little. Ponch looked at her his eyes beginning to close. By now she was practically carrying him. "Good thing you're not a big fat guy," she teased. Ponch just moaned slightly in response. "It was a joke, baby. I'm just glad that I can carry you. You're small," she said. Jon sat up a little.
"Well, this sucks. I can't run now.." he said. Kiara rolled her eyes.
"I'll help you," she said.
"Well, we should probably get going...before they catch up," he said. Kiara helped Jon up.
"Put your arm around my shoulder," she ordered. Jon did as told. Ponch noticed Jon's arm also around Kiara. He grabbed onto it. Jon smiled at Ponch. Kiara helped both of them walk. "You two are lucky I work out a lot and have some muscle," she said. Jon laughed.
"Sorry," he replied. They can hear the sound of footsteps getting louder.
"Dang it, they're getting closer," Kiara said trying to speed up. "This isn't working out," she said. She stopped then looked at Jon. "Can you stand on one foot for a second?" she asked. Jon nodded, a little freaked out that someone was coming closer. Jon stood on one foot so Kiara could do whatever it was she was trying to do.
"W-What...are you…" Ponch started.
"Ponch, hop on my back," Kiara said.
"What?" Jon asked more shocked than Ponch was. Ponch didn't ask any questions, he did as he was told. There was no arguing with Kiara. Kiara smiled.
"I bet it's weird getting a piggy back ride from me," she joked. Then looked at Jon. "Okay, if you need help walking I'm still here," she said. Jon nodded, he leaned slightly on her. Jon noticed how much faster they were getting places after this.
"Hey!" the person behind them shouted, coming a little closer. Kiara nearly died.
"He's gaining on us!" she cried terrified.
"Geez, it's like running after people who refuse to give up..." the person said.
"S-S-Sarge?" Ponch asked.
"Oh no honey, I'm not Getraer," Kiara said.
"N-no...that's...S-S-Sarge…" Ponch said. Kiara was confused.
"What?" she asked. She then turned slightly and could see the figure of the man. "Sarge!?"
"Yeah, of course it's me!" Sarge said, coming out of the shadows of the trees. Kiara rushed to him and hugged him. She began sobbing.
"The bad guys were arrested. There were a total of 4, right?" he said. Jon nodded.
"Yeah, there were four of them," he told Sarge.
"S-S-Sarge…" Ponch started reaching for his sergeant. Sarge smiled and pulled Ponch into a hug after Kiara set him down.
"I m-m-missed...you…" Ponch said. He squeezed Getraer tightly. Getraer grunted at that.
"C-Can't breathe, Frank..."
"M-Me either…" Ponch replied.
"C'mon, an ambulance is waiting back at the place.." Sarge told them. "You are all to be checked out."
"I'm fine, Sarge," Kiara said quickly.
"M-Me too…" Ponch tried.
"Uh-uh. All three of you are to be checked out. Kiara, that means you included. I've seen that slight limp. And besides, Ponch, even if you were talking normally, there was no way you'd be able to escape medical check-up. Brittany ratted you out," he said.
"Dang it," Ponch said. Jon hobbled over to them.
"I'm ready to go," he said. Ponch looked at him confused.
"You hate…" he started.
"I want to get outta here," he said.
"Come on, let's get going. Our friends are back at the place, waiting for us," Getraer said. Ponch leaned on Getraer waiting for Kiara.
"Hey, Sarge…" Kiara started then looked at Ponch.
"I'll carry him. You're probably tired," Getraer said before she could even ask.
"Thanks," she replied. Getraer had Ponch hop up on his back. Once everybody was ready to move, Getraer led them towards where help was. Kiara just kept her attention on helping Jon walk and following Getraer. Soon they made it. They could tell just by seeing all the flashing lights.
Ponch was starting to lose consciousness on Getraer. He couldn't go anymore.
"Hey, don't fall asleep on me yet, Poncherello. There's someone waiting to see all of you guys," Sarge told him, bouncing him a little.
"S-Sarge…"
"Nuh-uh. Don't even think about closing your eyes, either. I don't think she'll be very happy if you do..." Sarge said. Soon, they got out of the woods and they were in the flashing red and blue lights.
"S-S-She?" Ponch asked confused. His eyelids drooping a little. Sarge kept bouncing him.
"Ooh, she's a very special person, Ponch."
"B-B-Brittany?" Ponch asked. The funny thing was they were close enough to where all the people were, that Brittany heard that.
"Ponch!" she cried, running over to him. Sarge set him down, and Ponch hugged Brittany. He was almost to the point where he was semiconscious. Brittany wrapped her arms around her husband and felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Ponch, I was so worried," she said. Ponch hugged her a little tighter.
"Brittany!" Kiara exclaimed seeing her best friend. She was about to go and hug her when outta the corner of her eye she spotted Kyle and Ian. She ran to her husband and little boy. Throwing her arms around Kyle she began to kiss him. "I missed you!"
"And you think I didn't miss you?" Kyle teased hugging his wife. Kiara smiled and kissed him again.
"Eww!" cried little Ian. Kiara laughed, she knelt down and hugged her son.
"Hello, Ian," she said. He quickly pulled his mommy into a hug.
"MOMMY!" he cried. "I worried 'bout you.." Ian said.
"I thought I'd never see you again," Kyle told Kiara joining the hug.
"I always come home to my family," Kiara stated.
Jon smiled watching them. He wished he had a greeting like that. Instead he just stood there waiting to get into the back of an ambulance to go get checked out.
"Hey, Jon," Jason said clapping his hand on Jon's shoulder. "I'm glad you're okay," he said.
"Yeah, me too," Jon replied. He then turned his head and saw two more people going over to Ponch.
"Ponch, we need to get you some help," JoJo said grabbing onto his arm.
"B-B-But...B-B-Brittany…" he started to protest.
"She can come along too," Logan assured him. He smiled at Brittany. "The medics said ya could ride in the ambulance," he told her. Brittany couldn't find her voice so she just smiled her thanks. She followed JoJo, and helped lead Ponch to the paramedics. They had Ponch sit down while they checked his injuries.
oOoOo
"Man, I would kill to be outta here," Brian said standing up in his cell.
"Hey, this is all your fault, Dean," Bob said.
"My fault!? How's that?" Dean asked angrily.
"You're the one that let Jon slip through your fingers," Bob reminded.
"If I could go back in time I'd make sure you weren't one of the men working for me," Dean said quietly.
"I heard that," Bob growled.
"Well you really blew it this time, Bob!" Trevor snapped defending Dean. "If you wouldn't have let your temper flare up...you never would've tried to kill Dean. If you never attempted that, we would've been able to catch them before they were found," Trevor said.
"Oh, so it's all my fault," Bob said.
"Yes, because of you, the exit doors weren't guarded! Instead, you just had to pick a damn fight with me, and they got away!" Dean scowled. Bob was silent.
"Well, when I get outta here, I know what I'm doing," Brian said.
"What's that?" Trevor asked.
"First I'm getting as far away from Bob as possible. Second, I'm gonna go kill those CHiPpies. Every last one of 'em."
"I'll join you," Trevor said. Bob and Dean both stayed silent.
oOoOo
Brittany was in the kitchen, happily making cookies when there was a knock at the door. Brittany wiped her hands cleaned from cookie dough. Before she could go answer the door, Ponch beat her to it.
"Sorry," he said with a smile. Brittany giggled and stuck her tongue out at him. Ponch laughed then opened the door.
"Hi," Brittany said to the man standing in the doorway. She had invited him over. Ponch's eyes got wide he hadn't seen Jon in a week.
"Jon!" he exclaimed and hugged his best friend tightly. "I missed you," he said. Jon laughed.
"Oh, really?"
"Uh-huh," Ponch replied. Then whispered something in Jon's ear. Jon looked at Brittany. Then he looked back at Ponch and laughed. Brittany looked at them suspiciously.
"What?" she asked, her eyes slightly narrowed. Ponch smiled.
"Don't worry, baby it's nothing bad." Jon smiled.
"You'll love it," he said. Brittany just stared at him unsure.
"Believe us, Britt," Ponch said turning and giving her a hug. He played with her hair a bit. "You trust me, right?"
"Of course I trust you," she said. Ponch smiled.
"Great! Then don't worry 'bout a thing. And uh...make sure you are not busy next Saturday," he replied.
"Well, there goes my idea of going clothes shopping.." she said.
"Clothes shopping? If you go clothes shopping again we won't have room in our closet to even reach in for clothes," Ponch teased.
"Yeah, can't you just do that today?" Jon asked.
"Only if you guys don't want any cookies," she answered Jon.
"Well, I don't need them," Jon said looking down and patting his tummy. Ponch laughed.
"Oh whatever, Baker," Ponch said. He then stared at his stomach. "Maybe I don't need 'em either," he said. Jon laughed and hit Ponch in the stomach.
"You kidding me!? You're the smallest one in this room," he said. Ponch looked over at Brittany with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Nah, it's fine. More for me and JoJo!" she joked as she went back to the kitchen. "And none for either of you!" she called when she got in there.
"What? Why?" Ponch asked following her.
"Well, you just said a minute ago you didn't need them.." she smiled.
"I changed my mind….I mean...Jon thinks I need them," Ponch said with a smile. He got in front of Brittany. "Hey, you wouldn't say no to giving me a cookie, would ya?" he asked.
"I don't know, I can..." she said, moving around him. Ponch followed her.
"Brittany," he said. He got in front of her again and pulled her into a hug as best as he could. "Please?" he asked giving her sad puppy eyes.
"Oh, I dunno...hmm" she said, pretending to think about it. "I did promise JoJo I would give her some, though..."
"She won't eat all four batches," Ponch said.
"Yeah, but Logan might want some..." she said.
"Even both of them together wouldn't want four batches," Ponch replied.
"Then there's Kiara, Kyle, and Ian..."
"Kyle and Kiara don't eat cookies," Ponch said.
"Ian does, though," she told him.
"He's three years old. He won't eat a dozen cookies!"
"Oh gee, i forgot there's no such thing as saving some for the next day.." she giggled.
"What? Do people even do that?" Ponch asked with wide eyes. She nodded.
"Yes, Ponch, there are people who do that," she said. She managed to get free and go to the container full of cookies. Ponch looked confused.
"Wow, what a bunch of weirdo's."
"Oh hush and get over here and choose four cookies, would ya?" Ponch laughed.
"I only need one," he said coming over and grabbing one cookie.
"It's just too bad Jon didn't want any. I guess we have extra cookies then," she said.
"What? I want cookies," Jon said coming in.
"Nope. You just said earlier you didn't need them!" she told him.
"Yeah...and you…" Ponch started but then stopped. "Never mind, no sense in upsetting Brittany."
Brittany rolled her eyes as she turned to put some cookies in a small bag. She turned back to Jon and handed the bag to him.
"I know you said you didn't need them, but hey, what's life without yummy treats?" she said.
"Ooh…" Ponch said with a huge smile. He reached over and grabbed a cookie then handed it to Jon. As Jon tried to take the cookie, and then he noticed Ponch was holding onto it a little tightly. Jon looked at Ponch. Ponch laughed, when he let go he broke off a piece. Jon rolled his eyes.
"It looks like someone took a bite of the cookie," he said. Brittany laughed.
"Or broke a piece off," she joked as she poked Ponch in the arm. Ponch shoved that piece of cookie in Brittany's mouth. She mumbled something as she chewed and swallowed.
"What was that?" Ponch asked.
"You better sleep with one eye open," she told him.
"Why?" Ponch asked. She didn't answer. Ponch smiled.
"Hey, I know you don't like food being stuffed in your mouth...but that's good stuff, Britt." Brittany slightly glared at him. Jon noticed this and huffed a slight laugh. He knew better than to comment, because he didn't want to be the next victim.
"Well, I think this is my cue to leave," Jon said backing away. Ponch looked at him.
"Come on, Baker. You can't just leave now," he said.
"Sorry, Ponch." Jon gave Brittany a hug and whispered in her ear. "Have fun with him, okay? And uh...don't be too mean." Brittany only smiled. Then she and Ponch led Jon to the door. As soon as he left Ponch turned to his beautiful dark haired wife.
"You're not gonna hurt me, are you?" he asked. She only smirked, a mischievous look in her eyes. "Oh c'mon, Britt…" Ponch said. She just smiled. Ponch made a face at her. Brittany laughed, and led Ponch to the living room. Ponch smiled.
"Eh, don't worry, I'll get you when you least expect it," she said as they took a seat on the couch.
"Dang...well I guess I'll always expect something," Ponch replied with a smile. Brittany laughed and pushed him off the couch. Ponch looked up at her and they both began to laugh. It was great to be home again.
