I'd love to her those ideas
Well here comes next update, and this will be 2 chapters, because i want to keep you guys hanging again, over night
Chapter 19:
“Stella!” Hawkes came nearly running towards her, “I made some phone calls, found out who have escaped that you’ve had a case with.” He took a deep breath, “You’re gonna hate this.”
“Spit it out Hawkes!” She used to like the way Hawkes always had some sort of build-up before he revealed what he knew, but it was just driving her crazy right now.
“The only person that can be connected to you who have escaped the least year, is DJ. Pratt!”
It seemed like everything was put on standby while she realised what he had just said. “Tell me you’re kidding.”
Hawkes shook his head, “I’m afraid not, of course we cant be sure its him.” What were they going to do next? Just pray that they’d find him? “Told Mac yet?” Hawkes shook his head again.
At the hospital:
“Do we have anything except from the escape, possible motive, that can link him to you?” Mac looked at her with his usual sceptic look, she shook her head, “No, and we’re out of evidence, our best hope is that Flack and his guys will catch Pratt.”
Mac seemed to be thinking hard for a while, “He wont confess to anything even if you catch him. He will go back to jail sure, but it wont help us on this case.”
Chapter 20:
“No Stella, you are not doing it! No, No NO!” Mac was chocked that she even brought up the idea she knew that, “Mac, we have no other options, the kids are still missing, Flack and his guys aren’t getting any closer, they’ve searched for 2 days! We have to get this guy!”
Mac grabbed her healthy arm, held on tight, it did actually hurt “Stella listen to me! You was shot once because of that guy, I’m not letting you act bait!” He just held on to her arm even tighter, “Let go off me!” She twisted her arm out of his grip and marched out of the hospital-room.
What was going on in his head? He had never reacted like that before, and he knew exactly how she felt about it. She was going to do it, she wanted that creep caught, and they would have plenty of time to mace sure they had everything under control.
She felt the tears start to run down her cheeks, she wasn’t sure if she did it for the sake of the kids, or to prove Mac wrong.
The next evening:
Alright, just going to get a cup of coffee, Flack and his guys will be nearby, nothing is going to happen to you! Or at least that was what she kept telling her self. The fact is that she were so scared, he had shot her and Mac, why wouldn’t he just grab the chance and shoot her again? And hit her properly this time.
She were sitting in her office, only 20 minutes till she was going to be bait, to catch the creep that tried to kill her and Mac, and who might also be the guy that killed Aiden so long time ago, she felt sad, thinking about Aiden, somewhere, deep inside, she still missed her.
Her phone had been ringing off the hook, she didn’t even bother looking at it anymore, it had been Mac all the time, she didn’t want to talk to him, he really freaked her out, it was nothing like him. The tears had been going strong since she got to be alone in her office.
Jimmy had actually called her once, he was already back in LA, she hadn’t answered it. She couldn’t handle talking to him right now.
She looked at her phone, she knew Mac was calling to apologise, but he knew how scared she was of something like that, people she cares about, and trusts, suddenly physically hurts her. She was aware that it wasn’t serious, but Mac was one of the persons she trusted the most. How could he do it?
Her phone stopped ringing, somewhere she were relieved. She couldn’t talk to him, not now, not like this. She wiped the tears of her cheek, but they were still going strong.
“Stella, there’s an urgent phone call for you.” Flack entered the office, why hadn’t whoever it was just called her cell? She took a deep breath, tried to clear her head as she answered the phone, “Bonasera?” She tried hard to keep calm, but her voice was very affected by her crying.
“Stella, please hear me out.” It was Mac, he tricked her, he always did.
“I cant believe you did that!” She just yelled at him, she couldn’t control herself, he tried to apologise, “Stella, I’m so sorry about it, I don’t know…” She didn’t want to listen to him, she were too confused, “I don’t want to talk to you right now.” She threw the phone back to Flack and sat down by her desk.
“Stella we’d better get going.” Flack smiled nervously, he knew he shouldn’t interfere right now.
