The following morning, Don showed up with the kids. "Dad, we're home, where are you and mom"? "In the kitchen son". Walking into the kitchen the kids seen breakfast all ready. "Dad...you cooked"? "I did, bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit bowls, and fresh juice".



The kids were confused, it wasn't often their dad cooked anything. Sitting down everyone began to eat. "How was your time with Uncle Don"? "It was cool dad, we got to go see Uncle Danny, and play pool, than we rented a movie, and had take out for supper". "Hmm...sounds like a great night".



Walking into the kitchen, Stella seen the kids. "Hi my babies". "Hi mom, how was your night, did you and dad have a nice time"? "We did sweetheart, thank you". Sitting down, Mac served her breakfast, with a cup of coffee. "Thanks Mac". "You my love, are welcome".



After breakfast, the kids headed into the den, to play video games. "I'm going to get going Mac, thanks for breakfast". "You're welcome Don, thanks for watching the kids". "Anytime Mac, they are great". "Thanks". Heading out the door, Don was blocked by King and Kong.



"Ummm..Mac, can you remove your beast's from the door". Laughing he said...."they want a walk, they do that to get you, to take them with you". "Smart dogs". "Mackenzie, Michael, Caroline, you need to take the dogs for their walk". "Coming dad". Putting on their leashes, the kids left with the dogs.



As they rounded the corner, they seen the car before it hit Caroline. "Caroline.....yelled Mackenzie in tears". Using his cell phone, Michael called 911, then his dad. "Dad...we are around the corner, Caroline was just hit by a car, hurry dad". Running from the house, they rounded the corner, and seen her laying there.



"Caroline....Caroline....". Not getting a response, Mac started CPR.

When the EMT's arrived, they took over, where Mac left off. "I've got a heartbeat, let's go, we need to move now". Loading her into the Ambulance, Stella got in, while Mac stayed behind, with Don, and the driver.



"What the hell happened"? "I'm sorry man, she came out of no where", he said staggering. "You bloody bastard, your drunk", yelled Mac, as he grabbed the guy, throwing him against the car. "Mac...Mac...", yelled Don, pulling him off the guy.



"This guy is nuts, arrest him, he tried to kill me". "Listen, if I was you, I'd shut my mouth, he's Det.Mac Taylor, and it's his daughter you hit". "Fuck you man, she shouldn't be on the road". That did it, Mac hauled off, and punched him the face, while choking him, with the other hand.



"If my daughter dies, I'll see you get the chair, do you understand me, you son of a bitch". "God damn it Mac, let him go, NOW!. Dropping the guy to the ground, Mac took his kids home, with the dogs. "Hurry up guy's, I want to get to the hospital, let's go". "We're coming dad, please calm down", cried Mackenzie.



Taking a deep breath, Mac grabbed his keys, and headed out with the kids. "Mom....yelled Mackenzie, down the hall, when they arrived at the hospital, how is she"? "We don't know yet love, she's still in surgery". "She's not going to die, is she mom, we aren't going to lose our sister"?



Embracing her daughter tightly, Stella prayed, that Caroline was strong enough to fight.


TBC....
 
It must have been six hours, before the doctor came out of surgery. "Mr & Mrs.Taylor"? "Yes...how's our daughter"? "I'm sorry, she didn't make it, she had massive internal injuries, we tried several times to stop the bleeding, but she just wouldn't clot, I'm very sorry".



As Mac and Stella held each other through their tears, they wondered how they would explain to Mackenzie, and Michael, they had lost their sister.



Coming off the elevator, Mackenzie said...."any word yet mom"? "I'm sorry sweetheart, your sister didn't make it, she died". Standing there in shock, as her tears poured from her eyes, they could hear her whispering...."no...not my sister, please mom, tell me there has been a mistake, not my sister". "I'm sorry love, I wish I could". Embracing her mother tightly, they cried in each others arms.



"Michael....are you okay"? Standing, trying not to cry, Michael nodded his head. "Son...it's okay to cry, don't hold it in son". Running to his dad, he broke, with giant sobs, soaking his dad's shirt, squeezing him tight. "It's not fair dad, it should have been me, bring her back, and have him take me". Gripping his son's face, he said..."Don't you ever say that again, this is not your fault, there was nothing you could have done differently, to prevent this". "I'll kill him dad, I swear, I'll kill him".



"Stop this now, do you understand, stop Michael, your sister would not want to hear you talking like this". "But it's not fair dad, it's just not fair". "I know son, you are right, it's not fair, but we need to be strong, we all are going to need each other, to get through this". Still holding his dad, Michael thought to himself....."I'll get my revenge, you'll see dad, I'll get him".



While Stella held the kids hands, they walked into Caroline's room, to say good bye.


"Daddy....she looks like she's sleeping, sobbed Mackenzie, with teardrops poring down her jacket. Walking up to the bed, Mackenzie kissed her sister's cheek, and whispered..."I love you Caroline, and we'll see you again one day". Leaving the room, Stella could hear the sobs, in the hall. Kissing hr daughter good bye, and whispering her love, she went after Mackenzie.



"Dad....I don't want to say good bye". "I know son, but you have too, do you understand"? "Yes....". Walking up, Michael touched his sister's cheek, bent down and whispered...."I vow revenge for you Caroline, don't worry, he'll pay for killing you", giving her a kiss, he ran from the room.



With Mac alone in the room, he picked up his daughter one last time, holding her, rocking her, as he said good bye. "I know you are an Angel now love, in a special place full of love, don't forget, if you get lonely, or scared, look for Caroline, your namesake, she'll help you through it, and remember baby, daddy loves you, always and forever".



Placing his daughter carefully back on the bed, he covered her up, kissed her one last time, and left the room.

When they arrived home, and entered the house, they found the whole team waiting for them. "Without spoken words, Danny, and Flack embraced Mackenzie and Michael, while Sid embraced Stella. As Mac watched, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.



Mackenzie, was sobbing her heart out, with Danny, rocking her, as she cried, how unfair it was, her sister had died. While Michael, hid his head, in Uncle Don's neck, vowing revenge. Listening Don thought, Michael may not have realized, he was talking out loud, with his thoughts.



"I swear Uncle Don, I'm going to take mom's gun, and I'm going down to the station, and I'm going to kill him, for killing my sister". Don was becoming very concerned, signally Mac, to come listen. Walking over, Mac could hear his son's words, as he vowed revenge.



"Michael....come here please". Turning to face his father, with tear filled eyes, he said...."WHAT!!!. "You listen to me young man, killing that guy, isn't going to bring back Caroline, trust me son, you'll feel worse, killing somwone doesn't take away your pain, it only adds to it, allow your sister to rest in peace, how do you think she'd feel, if you did this, because, I can tell you, she'd be very disapointed".



Michael gave his dad the look that said "I don't care", and running to his room, he left them alone. "What do you think Mac"? "I'm not sure Don, I'll have to keep a good eye on him, he's to emotional right now to reason with, I'll try again later, he's hurting really bad, and hopefully it's frustration, and anger, he's venting".



While they all sat, and talked about arrangements for Caroline, Michael was in his parent's room, looking for his mom's key, to the drawer, that held her gun.



TBC..
 
"Com on mom, where did you hide the key, I know it's here somewhere". Searching through her drawers, Michael finally found it. Unlocking the drawer, he pulled out the gun, checked for the bullets, hid it in his jacket, and headed downstairs.



"Michael...where are you going son"? "Just out for a while dad, to see my friend Tom". "I'd prefer you to stay in tonight". "I know dad, but we have a project to finish". "Okay...back by 6pm, for supper". "I will dad, love you". "I love you too son".



"Oh...before I forget, I have something upstairs for Marie, I picked it up a while ago, I'll get it, and be right back". Heading upstairs, Stella walked into her bedroom, and noticed her drawer was ajar, looking inside, she seen her gun gone, running back down the stairs...."Maaaaac...Michael, my gun, the station".



"Calm down love, what is it"? "Michael, he took my gun, it's gone, we need to get him, I can't afford to lose another child". Calling the station, Mac contacted one of the officer's, and informed him, that his son would be meeting him there, and to have him sit and wait.



Arriving at the station, Michael walked in, and was stopped by Darren. "Hey Michael, your dad called, he said you are to wait here for him". Michael knew his father knew, trying not to panic, he sat down, and waited for the officer, to leave his desk.



"Don't move Michael, I just have to check on something, I'll be right back, okay"? "Sure Darren, I'll wait". Once Darren was out of site, Michael walked past the desk, down the stairs, and into holding, moving cell to cell, he found the guy, he was sleeping off, what was left of his drunkin state. As Michael looked at him, he pulled out the gun, and aimed it.



"Hey...hey...wake up you piece of garbage, NOW!! As the guy awoke, he seen Michael, and realized, he was holding a gun. "Put that down boy, before you hurt someone". "You don't remember me, do you"? "No...who are you"? "I'm the brother of Caroline, the young girl you killed with your car". "Oh...big deal, that's what she gets for walking on the road, what are you going to do, shoot me"? he laughed.



Cocking the gun, the guy realized, he was really going to do it. "Hey kid...come on now, this isn't funny, put it down". "YOU KILLED MY SISTER", he yelled, as he aimed. "Michael....put down that gun now, Michael". With tears pouring down his face, Mac watched his son's finger, begin to squeeze. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......running towards his son, he knocked him down to the ground. "It's okay son, it's okay". "Caroline....Caroline...Caroline". "I know son, I know it hurts so much, but trust me son, this isn't the answer, he said rocking him.



"What's going on down here"? yelled the Chief. "This kid tried to kill me, he tried to shoot me with his gun, look, it's over there, see it". Walking over, the Chief picked up the gun, looked at it, and said...."He tried to shoot you, with a water gun"? "No...he had a real gun, he said he was going to kill me, for killing his sister".



"Is this true Mac"? "No...my son was upset, and in alot of pain, he's venting his frustation, he would never hurt anyone, my son is innocent". "Don...is this true"? "It is Chief, we got down here, and found the Taylor boy, upset, he was just trying to scare the guy". "No way man, he had a gun, I'm telling you, it was real".



"You listen to me, you killed a child today, a detective's child, with your drunkin state, so don't think, I wouldn't have thought twice, about letting him do it, so shut your mouth, and sober up, you have a hearing at 10am, and I can garentee this child, you won't be walking the streets, for a long, long time".



Picking Michael up in his arms, his dad, took him home.



TBC....
 
On the way home, Don passed Stella her gun. "Thanks...it's a good thing we got there in time". "It is Stel, or it would have been worse". "I'm sorry mom, I never meant to touch your gun, I just feel so angry, and lost without Caroline". "I understand that Michael, but what you did, was more than wrong, and you will have to be pumished for it".



"I know mom, I understand, just don't hate me okay". "Michael...I could never hate you, either could your father, we understand your pain, and hurt, as we feel it too, but killing someone else, would not have eased your pain, the love from your family, is what will heal you, together in understanding, comfort and love".



When they got in the door, Michael ran upstairs to his room. "Stel...leave him love, he needs time, time to realize what he did today was wrong. Knowing Mac was right, still didn't ease the pain of her heart, for that was her son, her baby, trying to cope with the unjustice in the world.



With the house quiet, and the kids in bad, Mac ordered King and kong, to watch Michael's door. Heading back to bed, he heard the pup crying at Caroline's. "Shhh...hey little boy, come on now, how about you sleep with Mackenzie, she'd like some company. Opening Mackenzie's door, Mac placed the pup on her bed.



"Mackenzie, I have a little friend for you". Openeing her eyes, she seen the pup. "Was he crying at Caroline's door again dad"? "He was sweetheart, I thought he might snuggle with you, he needs some love". Taking the puppy in her arms, Mackenzie snuggled it under her blanket, and while stroking the little puppy, it fell into sleep.



"Is everything okay Mac"? "It's fine love, go back to sleep". Wrapping his wife in his arms, he closed his eyes, said a prayer for Caroline, and fell asleep.

As the years progressed, life for the Taylor's became easier, and even though the death of Caroline was still fresh in their minds, they all knew life had to move forward.


Michael became a Detective and worked for the NY Crime Lab, eventually taking over for his father. He did marry, and gave his mother and father two beautiful granchildren, one boy, and one girl.


Mackenzie went on to be a Professor of Medicine, and in her spare time, lectured Alcoholic's on the danger's of Alcoholism. She also married a surgeon, and gave her parents triplets for christmas.

As for Mac, Stella, they enjoyed their retired days, with their grandchildren in their NY home, with King and Kong, who were still going strong.
