Sparta Heat

Nineteen - End Game

( "Fallin'" by Teenage FanClub ft De La Soul. Throwback to '93...Bye Bye David :)

David's men sat and leaned on desks and walls pointing their weapons at the jail cells. They had an arrogance about them - like they were sure of a certain outcome and just non-chalantly hung around waiting for it. It was strange, and Virgil turned to Bill, and Bill shrugged; he had no idea what the hell this was.

David was still walking around with his hands behind his back, furious Frankie was not at his immediate disposal. He hated waiting, he had a plane to catch, and she was going to be on it with him; where they could be alone, he could be alone with her.

'Where is Lieutenant Jamison?" David asked both Bill and Virgil, his face pressed up against the cell bars.

"Not sure." Bill began "I didn't see him this morning." He was only lying a bit. They were all in the conference room hours ago, but he had no idea where he was now.

"Is he on duty? - I urge you to think about your answer before it comes out of your mouth. Because if you lie, I will know. I'll not only kill you, I'll also kill all the young officers upstairs in the conference room; And that gentleman, that will be on your hands. So, again: Where is Lieutenant Jamison right now?"

Reba got out of the Ford Roach rented and cursed that her brand new heal got stuck in a pot hole in at the back of the station.

"You'd think they'd fix this lot, it being the police and all." Roach smiled at her and took her hand.

"Come on beautiful, we were supposed to be here hours ago, they're probably done."

"Well sugar pie." Reba purred "We would have been right on time had you not came at me like a hungry mountain lion." She fluttered her eyes at him and he sighed.

"Well my dear," He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple smiling. '"If you didn't bend over in front of me in that little dress of yours all those times I wouldn't have come at you like a hungry mountain lion." She giggled and looked up at him. Reba kissed his nose as they walked from behind the station to the front doors.

When they rounded the building past the large Sparta Fair sign, Roach grabbed Reba and moved back around the corner.

"Roach-"

"Shhh. Wait a minute." He watched a few men hanging around the squad cars in the front. There was an elderly couple that tried to get to the doors and the men stopped them, shaking their heads and pointing to the front of the building. The couple nodded and the men waved to them and went back to hanging around the cars.

"There not letting people in." He whispered to Reba, who already had her phone out texting.

"Goddammit, signal dropped. I'll call if I can-"

"Just wait for a minute." Roach watched them, thinking. "Rebs, you have your gun?"

"No it's at the Oaks – you?"

"No. Shit."

"What are they doin'?" Reba watched them suspiciously. "Who's that comin'?" They watched a squad car pull up and Reba almost yelled out before Roach covered her mouth. She struggled and he held her tight.

"Reba, shhh. They can't know we're here!" He whispered as loud as he could.

"But that's Frankie and Lonnie in that car.." Roach felt awful seeing her eyes tearing up.
