It Started With Hello

Chap.136

Emma yells as she watches James body hit the ground next to Ms. O'Connor. Jason laughs as Mona's eyes turn to James "That's one down lucky for you I have three bullets left" Mona lay frozen on the ground watching James. This brought flashbacks of the day she found her husband bleeding out on their livingroom floor when she got home from work. How she fell to her knees into the blood holding him close crying so loudly until the neighbors called the cops. She felt like it was all her fault then because she was the cop she was the one that made to many enemies to count. And he was the sweet town veteran who wouldn't have hurt a fly that's why she moved here she needed to get away she couldn't go to their home again or the town they grow up together without feel pain, there was to many memories. And worse of all they never caught her husband's killer it was filed as a cold case and there was nothing she could do about it. James slowly open looking over at her with that dumb grin he always gives her. Why would he jump in front of her bullet like this? While she was distracted Jason points his gun toward her "Goodbye whoever you are" her eyes snap away from James to glare as him just as he shot the gun. She rolled out the way the bullet going deep into the ground she stands up quickly surprising him. Running towards him she wasn't about to let him get away with hurting all these people "Who the fuck do you think you are!" he yelled firing again just as Harry and Ms. Kit push through the trees. She jumps out the way of the bullet rolling on the grass before hopping back up. She grabs his wrist tightly taking his gun away turning him around and forcing her knee into his lower back making him fall to the ground. Harry watches on a moment as Ms. Kit and the doctors help Emma onto on of the stretcher and look over Mr. Hatter to check if he was ok. Jason rolled onto his back pulling a knife out his pocket she instantly shot his leg making him drop the knife to the ground "You fucking bitch!!!" he groans holding his bloody leg. She walked closer kicking the knife from his reach "I'm Mona O'Connor and you have a right to remain silent though I doubt it will do you any fucking good" Harry runs over pulling him off the ground giving her a nod. She smiles at him as he clamps a pair of cuffs around Jason's wrists "You got him Ms. O'Connor good job I'll take him into the station I think Mr. Hatter wants to speak with you" she raised a brow looking in James direction he was sitting in the back of one of the ambulance as Emma was loaded into the other. Emma called out to her making Mona look her way "Thank you Ms. O'Connor...thank you so much" she cried tears rolling down her cheeks Mona gives her a smile with a nod before making her way to James sitting beside him. She punched against his shoulder making him groan "Your a dumb ass you know that? You could have died today. Why did you do that?" he pulls up his uniform top slightly showing the tuff fabric "Bullet proof vest...you have no protection on Mona you would have died if I hasn't jumped in front of you. I understand you love your job but there are some things more important" she bits her lip realizing what he was saying was true but still thinks he was dumb for doing it for her. He climbs off the ambulance pacing back and forth a moment before facing her "You owe me one now...I'm taking you to dinner next friday at 8 because guess what? I actually really like your crazy ass" and just like that he turned walking through the trees. It leaves her shocked since when did he like her? She guessed it didn't matter they have a date next friday at 8 she thought with a stupid smile.
