When the Police and Fire Dept arrived on scene, they seen the guy come running towards them.
"I did it... I killed Mac Taylor, his family , friends and blew up the Church. I killed 150 people, and I loved every minute of it."
As he seen the Media running towards them, they pushed him into the squad car.
"Hey... no... it's not supposed to be like this. You have to give me my five minutes of fame. Noooooooo..." he screamed as the Officers took him downtown.
"What have we got Jacobs?" "I'm not sure yet. All we do know is this is where they were holding the Ross wedding today. According to our suspect, he said there were one hundred and fifty in attendance. Including the Taylor's, Delko's, and Flack's."
"Christ... who's the suspect?"
"Charlie Lessing. It seems he took revenge on Mac Taylor for something that happened with his brother in New York." "Lessing? As in Dean Lessing?" "Yeah... that was the brothers name." "He's the one responsible for blowing up that bulding. I remember the story. Mac Taylor had to take him down, Don Flack was almost killed in that blast."
Looking towards the Church he seen the Fireman come out. "Excuse me... any survivors?" "We don't know yet. We've found two bodies so far, male and female. As for the rest of our teams... they are still digging." "Any idea who the two victims are?" "Not yet. We haven't had time to search for an ID."
Walking away, the Fireman went back to work.
"Excuse me Chief... Emerson just called from the squad car. Lessing's dead. It seems they forgot to cuff him, he had a knife in his back pocket. It had traces of C-4 on it. He slit his own throat."
"Great... now not only do we have to deal with this, we have to deal with IAB and their God damn investigation as to why Lessing wasn't cuffed."
Meanwhile in the basemet, Mac could smell the stench of blood. He wasn't sure how many of family had survived. Clearing his eyes he seen his wife, daughter and MJ all wrapped together. Checking them for a pulse, he found them alive.
"Danny... Danny... answer me." "Mac... over here." "Are you okay? Where's Don and Jess?" "They're here beside me, we're all fine. Even Nat and my two children."
"Michael and Lea can you two here me?" No response. "Caroline... Tyler." Mac could hear his grandaughter crying. "We're here papa, but I think Lea and daddy are dead."
Making his way over to his grandbabies, he found them wrapped together, but alone. "Where did you see daddy and Lea last?" "They were right behind us. But then we heard the boom and daddy pushed us down. Are we going to die here papa?" "No baby, no were not. Make your way over to your brother and nana."
"Daddy..." "Mackenzie, sweetheart, where are you?" "I'm right here Daddy. But I think...I think..." Mac could feel his daughters pain, he knew it couldn't be good. Reaching her side he seen three of her six girls and little Eric.
Over in the corner, he seen Eric trying to revive his three youngest daughters.
"Eric... Eric...stop Eric. It's too late." Mac was in tears. So far he was down his only son and three grandbabies. "Eric go to Mackenzie and the rest of your family. They need you."
Crawling his way back to his wife, they held each other and their children tight, while Mac covered his little grandbabies with his suit coat.
"Maddy and Adam. Maddy... Adam answer me?" "We're right here dad. We're all fine. Gray is with us." "Okay... good. Make your way over to your mom, okay."
As they made their way over, Mac, Danny, and Don checked on the guests. How many you have Mac?" "I have twenty so far dead."
"I have twenty five over here." Yelled Don. "How many you have Danny?" "I have ten."
"Alright... yelled Mac. That's fifty five guest deceased. My son Michael, Lea, and three of my grandbabies." Moving everyone together, they covered up the deceased, best as they could.
"I can't believe it Mac. Sixty dead. Christ... who the hell would do this?" "I don't know Danny, but you can bet when I get out of here, they'll be no stopping me from finding out."
Danny had no doubt about that, for Mac had lost his only son, and three little grandbabies to this psycho.
Once they were huddled together in silence, they could hear and see the cement, rubble and debris shake loose. "Papa... we are all going to die. They are never going to get to us in time." "Shh... come on MJ, we are all going to get out alive. Don't fall apart on me now."
"Is dad really dead?" "I don't know for sure son, it looks like he is, as Caroline said he pushed her and Tyler down the stairs as the bomb went off. I want you to stay here with your grandmother and the kids. I'm going to get Danny, Adam and Don, so we can start digging."
"No papa... you'll bring everything down on us." "No I won't son... trust me. I know what I'm doing."
While Mac and the others tried to dig, Sara, Shannon and Sharon wouldn't calm down. "Mommy... this isn't fair, why did our sisters have to die? Please mommy... why?" Mackenzie was trying to keep her sanity, but hell it wasn't working. The girls were pushing her already broken soul.
"Just be quiet Sara, God just shut up." Sara cried all the more. Reaching over Stella took her grandbaby into her arms. "Shh... it's okay Sara, just calm down love. I know you're scared." "I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean too...."
Before Mackenzie could finish, another tremor forced more rubble down on everyone. Screaming at Mac she yelled.... "God damn it Mac, just stop, you are going to kill us all."
Turning to face his wife, he could see his grandchildrens terrified faces.
Alright guys, we need to stop. I said stop." "Why Mac... we're moving things fine." "No... no we're not, all we are doing is bringing more rubble and debris down. We are also losing oxygen, the air is getting tight in here. We are just going to have too be patient. Hopefully the rescuers, can get to us soon."
Sitting beside Maddy, Adam held her. "Hey... come on Maddy, it's okay. I promise we'll get married as soon as we are out of here." "I don't want to wait Adam, she cried. I want to die your wife." Nothing but silence could be heard as Maddy spoke her heart out to Adam.
"We're not going to die Maddy." "We might Adam. Please... I love you so much, I have our precious child nestled within us. If we die, I want us all buried as Ross's."
The Minister crawled his way over to Maddy and Adam.
"Do you still have the rings Adam?"
Digging in his pocket he pulled out the two wedding bands.
While the debris, and rubble continued to fall, he married Adam, Maddy and Gray, making them a family . Giving them what might very well be, their last wish."
