"Sisterhood" (P2)

Next Morning.
Dean woke up on the couch and rubbed his eyes as he sat up.

Dean-''Oh, damn.''

Dean checked his phone and Becky's phone.

Dean-''Nothing from Paige.''

Dean sighed, stood up and walked into the kitchen to see Amber making coffee.

Amber-''Good morning.''

Dean-''Good morning.''

Dean sat down and ran his fingers through his hair. Then Amber poured him a cup of coffee.

Amber-''Here. Looks like you could use this.''

Dean smiled and took the cup from Amber.

Dean-''Thanks.''

Amber smiled and sat down next to him holding her cup of coffee.

Amber-''So, you wanna talk about it?''

Dean-''Wish I could. But it's an ongoing case. So I can't, sweetheart.''

Amber-''Oh. But I actually wasn't asking about work.''

Dean-''Oh, what are you asking about?''

Amber-''Is everything ok between you and Becky? I know couples argue, but-''

Dean-''What makes you think we're having problems?''

Amber-''Well, when I got up, I saw you sleeping on the couch and Becky is asleep in the bedroom.''

Dean-''Oh, you got the wrong idea. We're not....she didn't send me to the couch last night. I stayed up to see if Paige would contact us and I fell asleep on the couch.''

Amber-''Oh, ok. Sorry, I didn't mean to assume that there were issues.''

Dean-''It's ok. I can see why you'd think that. But Becky & I are good. Great even.''

Amber-''Awesome.''

They smiled and sipped on their coffee. Then Becky walked in dressed and ready to go to work.

Becky-''Morning, guys.''

Becky grabbed her car keys, kissed Dean & Amber on their cheeks and went to the living room.

Dean-''Bec-''

Becky-''Bye, guys!''

Becky grabbed her phone and left the house.

Amber-''Wow. I've never seen her this distracted before.''

Dean-''I have.''

Amber-''When?''

Dean-''When you were kidnapped by Ronda.''

Amber-''Oh.''

Dean-''Sorry, I hate to bring up a bad time.''

Amber-''No, it's ok. It's in the past and Ronda is locked up in an L.A prison. I'm just worried about Becky.''

Dean-''Don't worry, it's her way of staying focused. She'll be just fine.''

Amber-''Thank you.''

Dean drank the rest of his coffee.

Dean-''Ok. Let me go shower and get to work. Do you need a lift?''

Amber-''No, thanks. Benji is picking me up.''

Dean-''Cool. See you later.''

Amber-''Ok.''

Dean kissed Amber's forehead and went to the bathroom to shower.

When Dean was done getting dressed, he walked into the living room and grabbed his phone and leather jacket. Dean left the house and walked to his car as he got a phone call. Dean answered it.

Dean-''Detective Ambrose here.''

Bruce-''You on your way to work?''

Dean-''Yeah. Why?''

Bruce-''Good. I need everyone in the conference room in about 30 minutes. We need to figure out a way to find Paige.''

Dean-''Got it, Captain. I'll be there in 10 minutes.''

Bruce-''Ok.''

They ended the call as Dean got in his car and he drove off to the precinct.

30 Minutes Later.
Bruce and the detectives were all in the conference room.

Bruce-''Ok, first off, have any of you received any word from Paige?''

Everyone shook their heads.

Dean-''No, Captain.''

Bruce-''Ok. Listen, we don't know what is going on between Brooke, the other two women and Paige. Now, because we haven't heard from Paige at all, we have to consider the fact that she might've been part of this from the start.''

Charlotte-''Captain, no! We shouldn't even think that!''

Bruce-''I understand your frustration, Flair. I do. But we've had that happen before with Seth Rollins.''

Becky-''But Captain, you said yourself that Paige had a terrified look in her eyes.''

Bruce-''I know. But it could've all been an act. Look, I don't want to believe that Paige has turned on us, but I've been in this line of work and have been doing this job for a damn long time!''

Everyone looked at Bruce.

Bruce-''All I'm asking you to do, is to keep your guard up until we know the truth.''

Everyone nodded.

Bruce-''Good. Now, let's get back to work and find Paige.''

Everyone stood up and left the conference room.


Meanwhile.....
Paige was standing with her arms crossed while she was staring out a window of an apartment building.

Paige-''What the hell am I doing?''

Paige whispered to herself as Dana Brooke walked into the room.

Brooke-''What are you thinking?''

Paige-''You don't wanna know.''

Brooke walked up to Paige.

Brooke-''Listen, once all four of us are out of the country, you won't have to worry about your stupid cop friends.''

Paige-''We? You said nothing about me joining you 3 leaving the country. I am not leaving with you!''

Paige started walking off to the bedroom doorway.

Brooke-''You don't have a choice!''

Paige paused in the doorway.

Brooke-''You leave and you lose everyone you care about at that precinct!''

Paige turned around to face Dana.

Paige-''I know that! But you don't need me anymore. You have your money. Just let me go!''

Brooke-''I can't let you go. Otherwise, you'll go telling everyone everything.''

Paige-''So, you won't let me go until you 3 are safely out of the country where the U.S police can't touch you?''

Brooke-''Exactly.''

Paige-''Then you won't hurt my friends?''

Brooke-''Of course not. Besides, I'll be way out of range to trigger the bomb that's in the precinct.''

Paige sighed in frustration.

Paige-''Fine.''

Brooke-''Good.''

Brooke walked out of the room as Paige was frustrated and worried about the fact that everyone inside the precinct are in danger.


Reed & Shaw's Loft.
Carlo Reed & Michelle Shaw were in her room. Shaw was sitting in bed reading instructions to start building a 3D Pirate Ship. Reed was by her desk placing a CD in the radio. He pressed play & Shaw smiled because it was Guns 'N Roses "Appetite For Destruction" album.

Reed-''So, are the instructions complicated?''

Reed laid down on the bed on his stomach facing Shaw as he leaned on his forearms.

Shaw-''It seems ok. It ain't rocket science.''

They chuckled.

Shaw-''If it was, we'd be here all year long.''

They laughed!

Reed-''Come on, we're not that stupid.''

Shaw-''I don't know.....I have my moments.''

Reed laughed, making Shaw smile.

Reed-''Ok. *stands up* I'm gonna go make us some lunch.''

Reed kissed Shaw's head.

Reed-''Yell if your ship starts sinking.''

Shaw-''*Chuckles* I will.''

Reed-''*Walks to the door* Just yell "Iceberg, right ahead"!''

Shaw-''*Laughs* Sure thing.''

They smiled.

Reed left the room and walked into the kitchen. Then his phone started ringing and he answered it.

Reed-''What's up, B?''

Bruce-''Hey, Carlo.''

Reed-''What's the matter, B? You sound like you're losing a case.''

Bruce-''You could say that. How's Mick doing?''

Reed-''Staying in bed like I want her to. She's busy reading instructions to build a 3D Pirate Ship.''

Bruce-''Good. And where are you?''

Reed-''Kitchen. About to make some lunch.''

Bruce-''Ok. I just wanted to check in on you guys.''

Reed-''You're too sweet, B.''

Bruce-''Have you two talked about Italy yet?''

Reed-''*Sighs* Not yet, B. But soon, I promise.''

Bruce-''Good. Well, I better get back to work.''

Reed-''Hold up. You sound really miserable, B. Tell me what's going on. Maybe I can help?''

Bruce-''I guess it couldn't hurt.''

Then Bruce told Reed about the current case and what Paige has done.

Reed-''That doesn't sound like the Paige we know. Becky & Charlotte must be devastated.''

Bruce-''They are. No one wants to believe that Paige has turned on us, neither do I. But after what happened with Seth *sighs* I just don't know.''

Reed-''I understand.''

Reed leaned against the counter.

Reed-''So, you're having trouble finding them?''

Bruce-''Yeah. They're hiding out somewhere, but we can't figure out where.''

Reed-''Maybe you're looking in the wrong places, B.''

Bruce-''What do you mean?''

Reed-''Most criminals hide in the obvious places like cabins and abandoned buildings. Dumb criminals will hide at home or a friend's place. But very few hide in plain sight.''

Bruce realised Reed had a point.

Reed-''One time while working undercover, Mick & I worked as musicians and had to be on stage in a big restaurant every night. We were keeping track of a mob boss.''

Bruce-''Yeah?''

Reed-''Anyway, we were hiding in plain sight every night. Not hidden away like ninjas like we usually do. Maybe Brooke & these other women are hiding in plain sight with Paige, B.''

Bruce smiled in amazement.

Reed-''You always find something in the last place you look, B.''

Bruce-''In the last place you look?''

Reed-''Yep.''

Bruce-''Reed, you're a genius!''

Reed-''Aww. Thanks, B.''

Bruce-''You just cracked the case!''

Reed-''Alright. Cool.''

Bruce-''I owe you one. Gotta go!''

Reed-''Good luck, B!''

The call ended and Reed smiled.


An Hour Later.
Detectives & officers all parked their cars a few buildings away. They all got out & approached the same building where Dana Brooke threw a grenade at Becky, Charlotte & Paige. Everyone was wearing bullet proof vests as they kept a close eye on all of the windows of the building.

Bruce-''Listen, we don't know which floor they're on. So, I want everyone to follow me one floor at a time. And I want 8 people checking every floor. But keep in mind, this building is empty due to the damage on the roof from the grenade.''

Everyone nodded.

Bruce-''Ok. Let's do this.''

Bruce walked in followed by Dean, Becky, Charlotte and all the other detectives and officers. There were only 10 floors to the building. Once they got to the 9th floor, Bruce, Dean, Becky & Charlotte were about to enter the top floor.

Bruce-''Ok. Slow and steady.''

They walked into the hallway and heard the women laughing. Then they saw the last door open and they all quickly hid away in the other rooms because the doors weren't locked.

Brooke-''Come on, ladies. Our chopper will be here in 10 minutes. Let's get these bags to the roof.''

Mandy-''You sure the roof is safe to walk on?''

Brooke-''Just walk on the wooden planks that's covering the hole. Besides, the hole isn't that big.''

Sonya-''If you say so.''

Becky & Charlotte peeked into the hallway and saw Brooke, Sonya, Mandy & Paige carrying duffle bags towards the roof door. They walked up the stairs as Bruce, Dean, Becky & Charlotte stepped back into the hallway.

Bruce-''Come on.''

They all went to the stairs and heard the roof door close.

Becky-''Let's go.''

They all walked up the stairs. Dean opened the door and they all stepped out quickly with their guns aimed at the women who were standing by the ledge with their backs facing the detectives.

Bruce-''FREEZE!''

The women turned around.

Brooke-''Bravo! You found us!''

Becky-''It's over, Dana!''

Brooke-''Every time I end up face to face with you cops, you say that. And yet....I always get away.''

Then they heard a helicopter approaching.

Brooke-''And there's our lift!''

Becky-''Paige! Why are you doing this?!''

Charlotte-''I thought we were sisters!''

Mandy-''She has new sisters now!''

Sonya-''Yeah! Just leave her alone!''

Brooke, Mandy & Sonya all pulled out guns and fired at Bruce, Dean, Becky & Charlotte causing them to run for cover behind the building roof air vents. The women kept firing as the helicopter got close enough and 2 rope ladders were lowered down to them.

Brooke-''Sonya! Paige! Climb up!''

Sonya & Paige climbed up as they had the duffle bags over their shoulders and Brooke & Mandy continued shooting!

Once Sonya & Paige were in the helicopter, Brooke & Mandy grabbed hold of the ladders.

Brooke-''Bye, Detectives!''

Brooke threw a couple of grenades on the roof.

Bruce-''TAKE COVER!!''

The grenades exploded!

Paige-''No.''

The helicopter started flying away. But then Bruce, Dean, Becky & Charlotte stood up.

Becky-''You are not getting away this time!''

Becky & Charlotte ran!

Dean-''BECKY!!''

Becky & Charlotte jumped off the building and grabbed hold of the rope ladders!

Bruce-''Damn. Hold on tight, ladies.''

The helicopter swayed a little bit, but the pilot managed to gain control.

Pilot-''Get them off the ladders! The chopper can only hold a certain amount of weight!''

Brooke-''Just focus on flying!''

Brooke, Sonya & Mandy were about to fire at Becky & Charlotte, but Dean & Bruce started firing at them, causing them to move out of sight.

Sonya-''Dammit!''

Mandy-''Can't you shake them off?!''

Pilot-''I'll try!''

Brooke-''Then do it!''

Paige was beyond pissed off right now as the chopper was approaching the Ohio River.

Detectives and the officers were now following the chopper in their cars. Then Paige grabbed Sonya's gun as Becky and Charlotte were busy climbing up.

Sonya-''What are you doing?!''

Paige-''I'm gonna do what I should've done a long time ago. Join my sisters!''

Brooke, Mandy & Sonya smiled.

Brooke-''That's right!''

Becky & Charlotte climbed up to the open door of the chopper and saw Paige aiming a gun at them! They both froze in shock as the helicopter was flying over the Ohio River.

Becky-''Paige?!''

Charlotte-''Please! Don't do this!''

Paige-''Goodbye, sisters!''

Paige shot Brooke in her shoulder, making her drop her gun and Paige pistol whipped Sonya!

Mandy-''What the hell?!''

Paige-''Let's do this, sisters!''

Becky & Charlotte smiled at Paige as she smirked.

Becky & Charlotte-''That's my sister!''

Becky was about to climb in, but then Brooke tackled her off the chopper and they both fell down towards the river! Detectives saw Becky & Brooke both fall into the river!

Dean-''BECKY!!''

Then Mandy tackled Charlotte off of the chopper and they went falling into the river!

Styles-''CHARLOTTE!''

Paige-''Ugh, what the hell?''

Paige grabbed Sonya and jumped out of the chopper and they went falling into the river!

Lee-''PAIGE!''

Bruce-''What the hell is going on?!''

Bruce, Dean, Styles, Lita, Kofi & AJ Lee all got onto a police boat and went straight to where everyone fell. Becky had her arm around Brooke's neck, Charlotte had her gun against Mandy's head as Paige had a hold on Sonya.

Bruce-''Nice work, ladies.''

Dean-''You're back on our side, Paige?''

Paige-''I never left your side, guys.''

Dean-''Awesome.''

They all smiled. Then Styles, Kofi & Lita pulled Brooke, Sonya & Mandy on board and handcuffed them.

Paige-''Sisters, I am so sorry.''

Charlotte-''We know you were forced to do all those things, Paige.''

Becky-''You have nothing to apologise for.''

Becky, Charlotte and Paige hugged while they were in the river.

Lee-''Uh, don't you girls wanna get out of the cold water first?''

They laughed and then got on board.

Bruce-''Good to have you back, Paige.''

Paige-''Thank you, Captain.''

Brooke-''It's not over, Paige.''

Paige walked over, pulled Brooke's phone out and looked at Dean.

Paige-''Dean, can you shoot this for me?''

Dean-''Sure thing. Just throw it.''

Paige threw the phone high in the air and Dean shot it to pieces over the river.

Becky-''Nice!''

Dean-''Thanks.''

Paige-''Now it's over, Brooke.''

Brooke glared at Paige as Paige hugged Becky & Charlotte.


The Precinct.
Becky, Charlotte & Paige were sitting in the conference room covered with blankets and drinking coffee to stay warm.

Becky-''I can't believe you jumped out of the chopper.''

Charlotte-''Well, Paige is a little bit crazy.''

Paige-''It's true.''

They all laughed as Bruce walked in smiling at them.

Bruce-''Good to see you three together again.''

They all smiled.

Paige-''Captain, did they find the bomb?''

Bruce-''Yes. The bomb squad along with their dogs found the bomb and took it away.''

Paige-''Oh, good.''

Bruce-''I'm proud of you, Paige. You did all of that stuff just to keep all of us safe.''

Charlotte-''And you were willing to leave the country with them.''

Paige-''What can I say? You all grew on me.''

They laughed.

Becky-''But Captain is right. We are all proud of you.''

Charlotte-''And we love you so much.''

Paige-''I love you all too.''

They all smiled as Bruce left the room and saw Dean.

Dean-''How they doing, Captain?''

Bruce-''Good.''

Bruce & Dean looked at Becky, Paige & Charlotte as they were laughing.

Bruce-''Their sisterhood is doing good.''

Bruce & Dean smiled at them.

Bruce-''Hey, Roman caught me up with what Seth said.''

Dean-''Yeah. He wants to fix things.''

Bruce-''That's good. It's gonna be a long road to earning everyone's trust again. But I'm sure he knows that.''

Dean-''I think he knows it too.''

Bruce-''Word of advice, Ambrose. Keep your guard up.''

Dean-''Wait, you don't think-''

Bruce-''I can't be sure. But trust me, I've seen men change while being in prison, but as soon as they're out, they go back to what put them there in the first place. Some people can't break the cycle, Ambrose. You know that.''

Dean-''I do.''

Bruce-''I've known Seth for many years, so I'm not saying he'll do the wrong thing again. But even I didn't see what he did coming. Manipulation or not, it shows you that he can be easily influenced by the wrong people.''

Dean-''I understand, Sir. I'll keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary.''

Bruce-''Good. Better to be safe, than sorry.''

Dean nodded and Bruce walked off to his office.

It was hard to hear, but Dean knew Bruce was right. Dean had to keep his guard up and watch Seth because for all he knows, this could all continue to be part of Batista & Seth's plan. Dean didn't want to believe that Seth is playing a dirty trick on him, but Dean had to take it into consideration.
