Chapter 24

((CHAPTER INSPIRED BY THE SONG: Partners In Crime, see above.))

Months After The Chilton Incident. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sara stood by Hannibal, closing in on his victim, proud on what she had caught. Sirens wailed in the distance, Sara and Hannibal look towards the noise, Hannibal speaking. "Damn it, it seems our lamb has called the cops on us.." Sara grabbed a gun from the counter, cocking it, aiming it at the window, shooting the window and busting a tire. Turning around, Hannibal didn't see the victim anymore, letting out a low growl of disapproval. Sara heard the growl, knowing one thing and unsure of another. One, Hannibal was mad at her for not keeping an eye on them, and second, he was going to get 'punished' later. Snapping her out of her daze, she heard the front door being kicked down, cops yelling and running upstairs. "Come out with your hands up, right now!" Hannibal grabbed Sara, whispering a plan in her ear, before pushing her roughly against the wall, kissing her. The cops kicked down the basement door, revealing Hannibal and Sara, but also seeing where they had chained up the victim. "Put your hands on the air!" Hannibal got off Sara, hands up, but Sara held up a gun, protecting Hannibal. "We'll shoot!" She cocked the gun and pointed it, smirking. "Make me." "Sara Ann Walker, put the gun down." The police asked once again, before they cocked their guns, pointing at Sara. "So scared." She said, firing at the ceiling. Will heard the gunshot, jumping, "Sara!" he yelled, running downstairs before a rain of bullets Sara, one just merely grazing Hannibal. She dropped to the ground, "Hann.." She groaned out, Will seeing the display in front of him, pushing the cops out of the way, going to Sara's side."Will..?" He picked her up, holding her close to himself, Hannibal frowning at the cops. "Out of my home immediately." They nodded, leaving quickly and swiftly. Hannibal ran over to Sara, taking off his dress coat, covering her up with it, tearing up. "Sara...why did you do this.." He chuckled, kissing her lightly, Will still holding onto her. "To..protect....you.." She croaked out, before passing out of blood loss. "We need to take her in, Hannibal!!" Will shouted, angry that Hannibal let this happen to their fiance. 

A/N: Yes, I did cry writing the chapter, and No, Sara isn't dead. I wouldn't end my most popular fanfic that almost at 1,000 views so soon and like that. The end is coming, just not now. I did just say fiance. ;) When did that happen, who did it, I'll say in a FAQ chapter, if y'all wanna comment your questions, I'll answer them all.
