A/N: This is related to the episode of PD that aired on 3-27-19 but obviously different than what actually happened. I don't own any of the characters.
Targeted
Intelligence had been investigating shootings and so far, the only thing they could come up with was Hank was an intended target. He was with Ray Price when he was shot and all the other victims Hank had worked with. Darius Tatum was the shooter. Superintendent Kelton kept sticking his nose where it didn't belong. This was Hank's case and if Darius was after him, then he was going to make sure that they could talk face to face. Hank's biggest fear though was Darius going after Olivia and Noah.
"Sarge."
"Yeah."
"We have a location on Darius Tatum."
"Where is he?"
"Your house."
"Shit! Gear up and let's go! He better not lay a finger on Olivia or Noah."
The team geared up and headed to Hank's. Darius had gotten into the house and was holding Olivia and Noah at gunpoint.
"What is it that you want?"
"Shut up, Bitch or I will kill both of you!"
Darius slapped Olivia and seeing that scared Noah. Hank and the rest of the team arrived at the house. Kelton was there as well.
"Brian, why are you here? This guy is after me and that is my family inside that house."
"That is exactly why someone else should be handling this case. What if he decides to shoot you, your wife or your son?"
"That's exactly why I need to do this. It is my job to protect my family."
"Then don't screw it up."
Hank glared at Kelton, got out his cell phone and called Olivia's phone. Darius answered.
"What the hell do you want, Voight?"
"I know what happened to you but I can help you."
"Why should I trust you? If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gone to prison in the first place. You lied to me!"
"How about I come in, you let them go and we talk? Just you and me."
"You can come in but I'm not promising that I will let them go. Just you though."
"Ok."
Hank handed Jay his gun and took his vest off and walked slowly toward the house. Kelton told the others that as soon as they could get a shot, they should take one. Darius had unlocked the door, so Hank opened it and walked in. He had his hands up and showed Darius that he was unarmed. Hank didn't like to see his wife or son with fear in their eyes. It made him angry that his family was being held hostage in their home and he didn't like seeing Olivia with red marks on her face. That meant Darius had hit her. When they saw Hank, they both had tears running down their cheeks.
"Let the boy go."
"No. I want him to see both of you die."
"You can't do that. Whatever this is, it's between you and me, Darius. They had nothing to do with it."
Darius went over, slapped Olivia again and put a gun to her head. Hank was starting to lose his patience. He promised himself that he was going to be a better person for Olivia and Noah. He did not want Noah to see him lose his temper. He had lost so much already and he hadn't really gotten over Al's death. He wasn't about to bury another wife or his 6-year old son.
"Darius, please let them go."
"I can't do that. I'm not going back to prison."
"Let them go and you can hold the gun to my head. How about that?"
"No one is going anywhere."
"As things are right now, you will be facing jail again."
"You lied to me! You promised me I wouldn't go to prison in the first place."
"I had no idea that was going to happen."
"Bullshit!"
"Darius, let the boy go. Please."
"Alright, fine."
Darius untied Noah and then Noah ran out of the house. Hank was relieved that he let Noah go but he still wanted Darius to release Olivia.
"Now, let her go."
"Nope. I think I'm going rape her and make you watch."
"You don't want to do that."
"Oh but I do."
Hank looked at Olivia and he could tell she was scared. He had all he could do to maintain his composure but his main concern at that moment was her safety. All Hank could do was distract Darius and try to get him to release Olivia and give himself up. Darius stepped away from Olivia as he and Hank were talking and Hank knew he was about to break.
"Tell my mom I'm sorry for everything."
Darius had raised his arm to point the gun at his own head when someone from outside shot and hit Darius. Hank grabbed Olivia out of the way.
"You ok?"
"I think so."
The team ran inside.
"Sarge, Lieutenant, are you two ok?"
"Yeah. Who shot him?"
"One of the guys Kelton brought. As soon as you headed toward the house, he said if someone could get a shot, take one."
Hank untied Olivia, helped her up and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, Hank."
Hank kissed her and then Noah ran in.
"Mommy, Daddy!"
Hank grabbed Noah and held both of them.
"Thank you for rescuing us."
"I wouldn't have had it any other way. You know that."
Hank kissed Noah's head and then he kissed Olivia again. They put a call into the Medical Examiner and then Brett and Foster looked at Olivia and Noah. Hank went to get some clothes for all of them and made reservations at a hotel until things got taken care of at the house and they decided to go back to the house. Maybe it was time for them to look for a new place. All that mattered was that his wife and son were safe in his arms.
As always, reviews and suggestions are appreciated.
