Shane stared at Francesca and let every expletive and fantasy she had of hurting the woman run through her mind. Minutes passed in silence. A loud hammering of a fist on the front door startled the three of them.

Open up! LAPD!! Francesca Wolffe we have a warrant for your arrest. Open up! The pounding began again as soon as the words were spoken. Shane ran over to the door and opened it. She was immediately pushed to a wall and her arms were pinned behind her back.

Hey! Its not me thats Francesca over there, she said trying not to struggle. Three men in flak jackets with weapons drawn made their way towards Francesca. Jack stepped back and put his hands in the air.

Who are you? one of the men yelled at Jack.

Im with her, he responded, nodding towards Shane. In the mean time, Francesca was being shoved face down on the couch. Two men pulled her arms behind her and roughly placed handcuffs on her wrists. Not one word was spoken by the woman until they had her standing and were walking out the door with her. They had begun to read her the Miranda when she cut the police officer off.

Save it I want my attorney. The man continued to talk and just shoved Francesca in front of him. Shane stood with her back against the same wall she had been shoved into and watched the scene with relief. A man in an ugly brown suit was led into the house and looked at them.

These are the two, one of the men said to the obviously senior officer.

Im detective Connerwhat are you two doing here? he questioned looking back and forth between Jack and Shane.

Im friends with the woman she shot. I knew the ***** would run and I wanted to make sure she didnt, Shane said in honesty.

Are you crazy or something? She just shot a woman and youre here making sure she didnt run? What was to stop her from shooting you? The man shook his head in disbelief as he spoke.

Thats why I brought him, Shane said starting to feel the adrenaline leave her body.

It was still stupid. The detective turned to speak with one of the other officers as Shane walked over to Jack and hugged him.
