Post Series Finale!
Sequel Ca...
AN: I know this has taken me a bit and honestly I hope I do this scene from Season 3 Episode 8 justice since I used it to help me describe what Mike was going through. This chapter also jumps a bit, meaning I feel like it doesn't flow as nicely as I usually like to have it but hopefully I still made it easy to read. As always hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!

The doorbell rang just as Bex had finished handcuffing Mike to the bed. "I'll be right back." Bex promised, squeezing his free hand.
Bex opened the door after checking through the peephole that it was a friendly face. Mike had shown her a group photo, long before the secrets ate away at the group of Graceland, and shown her which one was Charlie.
"You must be Bex. I'm Charlie. Wish we were meeting through better circumstances." Charlie stuck out her hand and gave Bex a bittersweet smile.
Bex gave her hand a firm shake and returned her smile. "He's in his room already cuffed. It's right past the living room."
Charlie nodded and set her bag down.
"Oh, and Charlie? Tell him I'm coming back? I just gotta grab some things from my car."
Charlie smiled, she knew that Mike had finally found himself a good one. "You got it, baby doll."
With that the girls went in their separate directions. Luckily Bex had an overnight bag in the back of her car, she knew she wasn't going to be at home for quite some time. Hopefully Luka wouldn't freak out when she wasn't going to be around for the next few days. She lastly grabbed a worn copy of The Wizard of Oz. It was her sister's favorite book. Bex carried it everywhere with her. She hoped the words were helpful for Mike during his detox.
"You've got yourself a keeper there, Mikey. Tell me you've scooped her up," Charlie said.
Mike chuckled. "I'm afraid not Chuck. I don't exactly have a stellar track record with dating on the inside."
Charlie laughed and patted his chest. "I've only spent maybe five minutes with the girl and I already know you'd be a real idiot if you let her get away."
Mike smile and squeezed her hand. "Thanks Charlie and thanks for coming down here."
Charlie placed a kiss onto his hand before standing. "Anytime, Mikey." She then walked out o find Bex writing on Mike's wall calendar. "What's that?"
Bex turned around looking like a kid who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. "Oh, it's just a reminder for myself of when the Capello's big sale is. I know I'm going to forget about it."
Charlie placed a comforting hand on Bex's shoulder. "You could just tell him, ya know. He's still Mike. You should tell him though before he won't be able to talk back."
