"Sisterhood"
Detectives Becky Lynch, Paige and Charlotte rushed up the steps of a building and Becky kicked the roof door open! They all walked out with their guns aimed at the woman they have been chasing for weeks, Dana Brooke.
Becky-''Don't move, Dana!''
Paige-''You have nowhere to go!''
Charlotte-''Now hand over the suitcase of diamonds that you stole and no one has to get hurt!''
Brooke turned around to face them as she held the suitcase in her hand.
Brooke-''Well, if it isn't Charlie's Angels.''
Becky, Paige & Charlotte smirked.
Brooke-''You have been chasing me for weeks. But you haven't caught me.''
Becky-''Firstly, our boss' name is Bruce, not Charlie. Secondly, we will catch you and we will lock you up for a very long time!''
Brooke-''I don't think so!''
Dana pulled out a grenade and threw it at them, causing them to dive away from the blast! The grenade blew up as Becky, Paige & Charlotte took cover. After a moment, all three of the women got up and ran to where Dana was standing, but she was gone.
Charlotte-''Dammit!''
Paige-''Where did she go?''
Becky-''No clue.''
They were all frustrated as Bruce walked up behind them.
Bruce-''Ladies!''
They turned to face Bruce.
Bruce-''She get away?''
Charlotte-''Sorry, Captain.''
Paige-''She threw a grenade at us.''
Becky-''It was either get away from the blast or get hurt trying to take her down.''
Bruce-''It's ok. There's a tracker in the suitcase that she stole. We should be able to track where she's going.''
They all nodded and looked at the floor.
Bruce-''Hey, don't let this get to you, ok? You will catch her. I believe in you three.''
They all smiled and nodded.
The Precinct.
Paige & Charlotte went to the tech room as Becky went to her desk. Becky walked by Dean's desk as he was doing some paperwork. Dean glanced up and saw Becky.
Dean-''Hey, sweetheart!''
Becky kept walking and Dean stood up.
Dean-''Becky?''
Becky walked to her desk, took off her jacket and threw it onto her chair as Dean walked up to her.
Becky-''Dammit!''
Dean-''Hey, what's wrong?''
Becky-''That bitch got away! That's what's wrong!''
Dean-''Oh. I'm sorry.''
Becky sighed.
Becky-''No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-''
Dean kissed Becky.
Dean-''Hey, it's ok. I know you didn't mean it. I know cases can get frustrating at times. Especially when you chase someone for weeks on end.''
Becky-''What am I gonna do? I don't wanna disappoint the Captain, Paige, Charlotte or you, Dean.''
Dean-''Hey, you will never disappoint me. You are an amazing detective. You, Paige & Charlotte will catch Dana.''
Becky-''Thank you.''
They hugged.
Dean-''Stay strong, ok?''
Becky-''Thanks. I will.''
They smiled and Paige & Charlotte walked up to them.
Paige-''We got some bad news.''
Becky-''What?''
Charlotte-''Lee and Xavier can't follow the tracker in the suitcase anymore. Which means, Dana found it and destroyed it.''
Becky-''Great! Just fucking great.''
Dean-''Come on, ladies. You've been on Dana's tail for weeks, you should know how she thinks or where she might go next.''
Paige-''You're right.''
Charlotte-''Let's go to the conference room and go over everything about the case so far.''
Dean-''Why don't you ladies go to the park. Some fresh air will help you to think more clearly instead of being cooped up in conference room.''
Becky-''Right. Thanks, Ambrose.''
Becky grabbed her jacket and kissed Dean.
Becky-''See you later.''
The three women walked off.
Dean-''Good luck!''
They all waved at Dean as he smiled at them.
The Park.
Becky, Paige & Charlotte were sitting on a bench drinking coffee and talking about the case.
Becky-''Ugh! Why do I feel like we're getting nowhere?''
Charlotte-''Becky, don't worry. We'll-''
Paige-''No freaking way.''
Becky & Charlotte looked at Paige as she stood up and walked off.
Becky-''Where is she going?''
Charlotte-''I have no idea.''
They saw Paige walked up to two other women.
Paige-''Sonya?! Mandy?!''
They all screamed in excitement as they all hugged each other.
Becky-''Ok. I take it they know each other?''
Charlotte-''Weird. She's never mentioned them to me.''
Paige, Sonya & Mandy walked back over to Becky & Charlotte.
Paige-''Becky. Charlotte. I'd like you to meet Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose. We went to college together.''
Becky & Charlotte stood up and shook Sonya & Mandy's hands.
Sonya-''Nice to meet you two.''
Mandy-''Paige, Sonya and I were the three in charge of our sorority. Everyone wanted to be us.''
Paige smiled.
Sonya-''But it seems like you are part of a new trio, Paige?''
Paige-''Yeah, it's true. Myself, Charlotte and Becky are as close as sisters. We work on cases together as detectives.''
Sonya-''So, you finally did become a detective?! That's awesome!''
Mandy-''It's all Paige ever talked about in college.''
Becky & Charlotte smiled at them.
Sonya-''Come on, Paige. We have to have lunch and catch up.''
Charlotte-''Actually, we're in the middle of a case. Paige can't-''
Mandy-''Just catch her up on the details later. She'll only be away for an hour.''
Sonya-''Yeah. Besides, you two can work on the case together in the meantime.''
Becky-''Paige, you can't just-''
Paige-''Sorry, sisters. But I haven't seen Sonya & Mandy in years. I'll catch up with you later.''
Paige, Sonya & Mandy walked off.
Becky-''Paige! PAIGE!!''
Charlotte-''Unbelievable.''
Becky & Charlotte were angry as they left the park.
The Precinct.
Becky & Charlotte walked into the precinct as Styles & Jericho were walking out.
Styles-''Hey, ladies.''
Jericho-''Captain is looking for you.''
Becky-''Thanks.''
Becky & Charlotte went to Bruce's office.
Becky-''Captain, you wanted to see us?''
Bruce-''Ladies, have you....where's Paige?''
Charlotte-''On a lunch date with two college friends that she hasn't seen in years.''
Becky-''We tried to stop her, but....''
Bruce-''Is she serious right now?! We have a criminal to catch and she's having lunch with old friends?!''
Bruce stood up.
Bruce-''Un-fucking-believable!''
Becky-''Why did you wanna see us, Captain?''
Bruce-''Listen, Dana Brooke was seen outside the City's Bank 20 minutes ago.''
Becky-''Just outside?''
Bruce-''Yes, but drove away as soon as a security guard started approaching her car.''
Charlotte-''So, she's gone again?''
Becky-''The bank could be her next target. But the question is....when?''
Bruce-''Right. Ok, I want you two to go to that bank and keep watch. I'll send other detectives to watch the other city banks.''
Becky-''Ok, Captain.''
Bruce-''Go now. I need to call Paige.''
Becky & Charlotte left the precinct.
Reed & Shaw's Loft Apartment.
Carlo Reed & Michelle Shaw were in her room. Shaw was sitting cross legged in bed leaning against a large pillow as she was busy doing a 2000 Piece Puzzle of The Boondock Saints movie poster that Reed had made for her.
Reed was laying on the edge of the bed tossing the tennis ball up in the air and catching it as he smoked a cigarette. They were also listening to Bon Jovi's "These Days" album.
Reed-''Are you winning, babe?''
Shaw-''*Concentrating* I think so.''
Reed smiled as he caught the ball and looked over at her. He found her confused look to be extremely adorable as she was trying to figure out where the next puzzle piece should go.
Shaw-''Does it go here? *piece doesn't fit* Aww, shit.''
Reed smiled at her as she smiled.
Shaw-''I think I'm thinking too hard.''
Reed-''Why's that?''
Shaw-''My head is starting to hurt.''
They laughed!
Reed-''You did suffer a concussion, babe. Plus, you're probably just hungry too. *sits up* I'll go make us some tea and some sandwiches.''
Shaw-''Ok.''
Reed stood up and walked to the bedroom door.
Reed-''And no getting out of bed while I'm gone.''
Shaw-''Yes, Captain!''
Shaw gave him a salute.
Reed-''That's my soldier!''
They chuckled and smiled at each other.
Reed-''Heads up!''
Reed tossed the tennis ball to Shaw and she caught it. They smiled and Reed left the room.
Two Hours Later.
Becky & Charlotte were sitting in Becky's car watching the entrance of the bank at a good distance.
Becky-''Son of a gun! We've been here for 2 hours!''
Charlotte-''I know. Any word from Paige?''
Becky-''No. She's not answering my calls or messages. I'll call Kofi and hear how things are on their side of the city.''
Becky called Kofi and he answered.
Kofi-''Hey, Lynch. Any sign of Brooke?''
Becky-''No, I- *hears singing* Do I hear Big E singing?''
Kofi-''Yep. He loves singing during stake-outs. Perfect way to pass the time.''
Becky smiled.
Becky-''Cool. But no sign of Brooke.''
Kofi-''Ok. Any word from Paige?''
Becky-''No. I don't know what is going on with her, Kofi. She must've shut her phone off when she was catching up with her friends from college.''
Kofi-''Paige is a detective. She should know better than to turn her phone off. Especially, during a case.''
Becky-''True. Captain is really pissed off with her already.''
Kofi-''Oh, man. You never wanna get on Captain's bad side.''
Becky-''Yeah. Ok, call if you see anything.''
Kofi-''Ok.''
They ended the call as Charlotte spotted something.
Charlotte-''Becky, check it out.''
Becky & Charlotte looked closer with their binoculars and saw Sonya & Mandy get out of a car wearing oversized hoodies. They put the hoods on and pulled down their ski masks and walked into the bank!
Charlotte-''Oh, crap!''
Becky grabbed the police radio.
Becky-''All units report to the city bank on 10th street! Possible armed robbery!''
Charlotte-''Let's go!''
Becky & Charlotte got out of the car and rushed over to the bank's doors.
Meanwhile....
Kofi & Big E heard Becky on the radio and they were about to drive off, but Kofi saw something.
Kofi-''E, hold on.''
Big E-''What is it?''
Kofi looked through his binoculars and saw Dana Brooke step out of a car dressed the same as Sonya & Mandy. But someone else was with her dressed the same.
Kofi-''Oh, my. It's Brooke and....''
Big E-''Who's with her?''
Kofi-''Paige.''
Kofi & Big E looked at each other in shock.
Then Big E contacted everyone on the radio about a robbery at the other bank. Half of the units went to one bank as the rest went to the other bank.
Kofi-''Let's go!''
Kofi & Big E got out of the car and rushed over to the bank doors to see what was going on. They saw Paige & Brooke pull out guns and shoot towards the ceiling.
Kofi-''What the hell is Paige doing?''
Kofi & Big E were confused as Becky and Charlotte were witnessing Sonya & Mandy doing the same thing in the other bank.
Detectives & officers arrived at both banks and surrounded them. Once the money was taken and put in duffle bags in both banks, Sonya and Mandy walked out as all the detectives and officers aimed their guns at them as Brooke & Paige did the same.
Bruce-''PAIGE! What the hell are you doing?!''
Brooke-''I'd lower those weapons if I were you, detectives!''
Sasha-''Not gonna happen, Dana!''
Brooke-''Fine then.''
Brooke pulled out her phone.
Brooke-''See this! All I have to do is press on this button and an entire building in this city gets blown to pieces along with everyone inside!''
Bayley-''Is she serious?!''
Brooke-''Damn right I am! Now, if you don't let us go, I trigger the bomb!''
Kofi-''It doesn't have to be like this, Dana!''
Brooke-''Let us go! Or I'll blow up a building.''
Bruce-''Stand down!''
Everyone was frustrated, but they had no choice.
Brooke-''Oh, and radio your men at the other bank and tell them to let my girls go.''
Bruce used his walkie talkie, told Dean everything.
Dean-''Got it, Captain.''
Dean looked at everyone.
Dean-''Everyone stand down and let them go! Captain's orders!''
Everyone lowered their weapons. All the detectives and officers watched in anger as Brooke, Paige, Sonya & Mandy got away.
An Hour Later.
Detectives were in the conference room with Bruce.
Becky-''Why? Why the hell would Paige do this?!''
Charlotte-''It's not like her. I've known Paige for years....this is completely out of character.''
Styles-''I agree. Captain, there has got to be an explanation. Maybe they forced her or threatened her. Or they're blackmailing her with something.''
Bruce-''I was thinking that too. I was there. I saw the look in Paige's eyes....she was on the verge of crying.''
Dean-''So, what now? Dana has a random building in the city rigged to explode if we go anywhere near them.''
Lita-''Paige must find a way to contact us and give us their location. But if she is being watched like a hawk, then we can't do anything.''
Jericho-''Our hands are tied.''
Everyone knew Jericho was right.
Bruce-''Well, until we receive word from Paige, we can't risk going after them. All we can do, unfortunately, is wait.''
Everyone nodded sadly. Their friend and their colleague was being held against her will and forced to rob banks and who knows what else she'd be force to do next. Becky & Charlotte were devastated that they couldn't help their sister.
As everyone stepped out of the confernce room and headed to the desks, Dean got a text message from someone asking him to meet them outside the precinct.
Dean went downstairs and walked outside as he looked around. Then he saw Roman Reigns leaning against the trunk of Dean's car.
Dean-''Hey, brother.''
Roman-''Hey, bro.''
Dean walked over to him and they hugged.
Dean-''I thought you didn't come after I didn't hear anything from you when I got back from Texas.''
Roman-''Sorry about that. Trying to process everything after I spoke to Seth.''
Dean-''I understand.''
Roman-''You wanna know what we talked about?''
Dean-''I'm all ears.''
Roman & Dean sat down on the trunk of Dean's car and Roman told him what he & Seth talked about.
~Flashback~
Roman & Seth sat down across from each other as Seth was in disbelief that Roman was there and also worried about what Roman was thinking.
Roman-''How you holding up?''
Seth-''I....I'm hanging in there. Keeping my nose clean.''
Roman-''Good to hear.''
Seth nervously took a deep breath.
Roman-''You ok?''
Seth-''Huh? Yeah, I-I'm fine. I just....''
Seth sighed.
Seth-''Why aren't you asking me why I did what I did?''
Roman-''I was leading up to it. I didn't want to just corner you with questions straight off the bat.''
Seth-''Oh.''
Seth looked down at the ground completely disappointed in himself.
Roman-''You can tell me why you did all those things whenever you're ready, brother.''
Seth slowly looked up at Roman.
Seth-''How can you call me that?''
Roman-''Call you what? Brother?''
Seth nodded sadly.
Roman-''Well, that's because I know it wasn't my brother that did all those things.''
Seth-''But it was me.''
Roman-''No. You would never do something like that. The Seth Rollins I know....would never turn his back on everyone that loves him.''
Seth-''But I did.''
Seth said as tears filled up his eyes.
Roman-''You were manipulated by a man that uses mind games to control his men. You didn't do anything wrong.''
Seth-''Yes, I did. I shouldn't have fallen for his tricks in the first place. I'm smarter than that. *looks at the table* At least I thought I was.''
Roman-''Hey, you are smart. Why do you think you snapped out of it as soon as you were away from him?''
Seth-''What does it matter? Everyone at the precinct is furious at me. Captain, Styles, Bayley.....Dean.''
Seth said Dean's name in a whisper, but Roman heard it.
Roman-''Dean's not mad at you. He knows what really happened to you. Plus, Reed & Shaw can confirm it too. They worked with you during that time and they've told Dean and Captain the change they saw in you and how it happened.''
Seth looked at Roman.
Seth-''If they saw it happen, why didn't they stop it?''
Roman-''For one thing, they couldn't blow their cover. But also, they had no clue. They thought you were just that good at working undercover. They had a gut feeling something wasn't right, but they never saw Batista do that to someone before.''
Seth nodded, understanding what Roman meant.
Seth-''Roman....what do I do now? How do I start to try and fix things?''
Roman-''The fact that you want to make amends, is already the first step.''
Seth nodded.
~Flashback Ends~
Dean-''He talked to you a whole lot differently than he did with me. But at that point, everything was fresh. The pain. The disappointment. The regret.''
Roman nodded.
Dean-''Glad to know he wants to fix things. Or glad to know he admitted it.''
Roman-''Do you wanna see him again?''
Dean-''Of course. But like Carlo said, I trigger all that pain. I don't want to upset him and kill the progress he's making.''
Roman-''I understand. But how is he supposed to ask for your forgiveness if you two don't talk?''
Dean looked at Roman, knowing he was right. But Dean wanted to wait a bit longer for Seth to let his anger go before going to see him again.
Later That Night.
It was just after midnight when Dean arrived to check on Becky. Ambrose walked into the living room to see Becky sitting on the couch drinking coffee and staring at her phone on the coffee table. Dean sat down next to her.
Dean-''Hey. I thought you were sleeping.''
Dean could see Becky was crying.
Dean-''Why don't you get some sleep?''
Becky-''No. *rubs her eyes* I have to stay up in case Paige contacts me.''
Dean-''Tell you what, I'll stay up and keep an eye on your phone while you sleep, ok? I'll wake you up if anything happens.''
Becky-''Promise?''
Dean-''I promise.''
Becky-''Thank you.''
Dean kissed Becky's forehead. Then she went to bed as Dean decided to watch TV and drink coffee to stay awake.
