Are You Mad?

"Sounds like you've been having an adventure up there in Montana." The voice of my old friend, Jaiden, said over my phone as I walk towards the station. "Yeah, it's been one wild ride." I said. "You should come visit!"

I hear Jaiden giggle before she replies. "I'll think about it. I bet Montana crazy is different from Texas crazy." She said and I laugh. "Speaking of Texas, Dakota told me you guys got a new sheriff that is from Texas?" Jaiden asked and I smiled. "Yeah, we did, his name is Beau. He's...he's something else." I said as I walk into the station. "That a good thing or a bad thing?" She asked. "Depends on the day." I said and she laughs.

"Nah, he's a good man." I said as I come upon Beau's office and see him sitting on his desk, talking on his phone which I could tell was on speaker. He looks up at me, through his window, and smiles and I smile back at him before I turn back to my phone. "Is he cute?" She asked me and I chuckled before I said, blushing. "He's very handsome." I said as I hear Jaiden squeal.

"What about you and your moose-man Texas Ranger? How's it going over there?" I asked her. Jaiden goes quiet for a second. "I don't know what you're talking about." She said, in that obviously lying tone and I chuckle. "Come on, fess up. I know you got a thing for tall guys." I said, smirking.

"Everyone's tall next to me. Even you." Jaiden said, probably pouting on the other end. "You know what I mean." I said and she sighs.

"Things are going fine. I've help out with his kids a couple times and he's appreciate it. Especially with his daughter, Stella. She's a firecracker. That's about it. No hallmark movie going on over here. We're just friends." Jaiden explains. "Uh-huh." I said, smirking and knowing that's about as true as the sky being green.

"Well, it's nice we both got some eye-candy at work." I said. "I suppose so. Though you obviously have way more of a chance with yours, than I do with mine." Jaiden replied and I frown at this alittle. "Don't sell yourself short like that. You won't really know how he feels until you go for it." I said and I hear her sigh. "Maybe. I'll think on it." She said. "Don't think too long, someone else might come along and snatch him from you." I said and I hear it go silent at the other end.

"Don't curse me like that." She said, deadpanned, and I laugh. "Well, I got to get going. Duty calls." I said. "Okay, I'll talk to you later." Jaiden said as I walk towards the door to Beau's office. "Say hi to Cordell for me. Or try to without exploding." I teased and I hear her scoff. "I'll try. Bye!" She said. "Bye." I laugh and hang up then walk into Beau's office.



"Who was that?" Beau asked me. "Oh, an old friend of mine back in Chicago. Met her through a case she was involved in." I said and Beau raised an eyebrow at this. "What?" He asked, confused. "Oh, there was a murder case and her and some of the victims friends all worked at this office company, so I got to interview her. Now, she's living in your home state, working on a ranch." I said and Beau whistles.

"Wow, that some move she made." He said. "Yeah, Dakota told me she was unhappy there at the office, so she got a job working at a ranch owned by the father of a Texas Ranger I worked with once." I said. "Really? And did you call him Texas too?" Beau asked and I smiled. "Nope, that nickname is exclusively to you. No, I called him moose-man cause the dude is like really tall...taller than you come to think of it." I said.

"Who is this guy? Sasquatch?" He asked me and I laugh. "No, but he did use to have long hair." I said and Beau raises an eyebrow at this then shrugs.



Then there was a knock on the door and we look over and see Poppernak coming in. "Hey. What do you got?" Beau asked him as he goes to sit behind his desk and I lean against it. "Here's everything I could dig up on the guy from the hotel shooting." Pops said as he holds out a file.

"Oh." Beau said as he takes the file and flips it open. I come up beside him and read over his shoulder. "Winston Turner." I said. "Linked to murders and kidnappings here in the States and across the border. He was muscle for a crime outfit run out of Canada." Pops explains as Beau continues to look through the file. "How does Avery figure into this?" Pops asked, confused.

"That smug sonofabitch saw an opportunity to steal $15 million that wouldn't get reported stolen." Beau said. "Maybe not to the police, but this outfit? They'll keep coming till they get their money." Pops said, worried. "I expect they will." Beau said just as another knock comes on the door.

"Sheriff?" Madge calls out and we look over at her. "Hey, Madge. Ooh, breakfast burrito time?" Beau asked her. "Kitchen's closed. I stopped serving men in 1999." Madge said and I snort out a laugh. "Oh, huh. Good to know." Beau said and I shake my head.

"As for work, Jenny has found Paige...Alive. Picked her up with Sunny Barnes." Madge informs and Beau, Pops and I had our jaws drop at this. "Paige is alive?" I asked, stunned. "EMTs are transporting her to the hospital. And Sunny is in holding here." Madge said and we all share a shocked look.


*3rd Person POV*

"What do you remember about where Buck took you?" Jenny asked Paige as they sit in her hospital room. "Um...Underground. In the woods." Paige replied. "Underground cellar or more like a bunker?" Jenny asked her and Paige sighs.

" It's...It's kind of blurry. I mean, I-I climbed out of there and just started running. I waved down a guy on the interstate. I was...in pretty bad shape." She replied. "Yeah. I saw. Let me ask you another question. Why not go to the Sheriff's Department? Why go after Sunny?" Jenny asked her. "Because she was in on it." Paige sneered.

"Paige, it seems to me that you avoided the police because of the stolen money." said Jenny and Paige gives her a look of disbelief. "Are you hearing anything that I'm saying? The psycho tortured me! He had hearts in jars!" She shouts and Jenny pauses at this. "I'm sorry. Hearts?" She asked.

"Yes. Like...human trophies. And I wasn't his first victim." Paige said, grimly, and Jenny couldn't believe what she was hearing.



*(y/n)'s POV*

"You know, if I were you, I'd be doing myself a favor, and I'd start talking." Beau tells Sunny, who still looked dumbfounded, as we sit in the interrogation room with her. "I don't understand. He's really gone? She said Buck's dead?" Sunny asked, upset, as she leans forward.

"We're still trying to locate where he took Paige." I tell her, firmly, and she looks down. "What do you know about the Bleeding Heart killer?" I asked her. "Nothing. I just can't believe this." She said, stunned. "Okay, well, we have Paige's statement saying that Buck kidnapped her and tried to kill her and that you knew all about it." Beau said, firmly. "I tried to help her." Sunny said and Beau leans back in his chair.

"How?" I asked her. "By keeping her safe from the people that she took the money from." Sunny said then she has a look of realization on her face. "I bet Buck found her up at the camp." She mutters. "You think he's capable of all this?" Beau asked her as he leans forward again.

"I don't know what to think anymore. Except I do think it's time for me to call my lawyer." She said, grimly. "You're running out of time here, Sunny. You gotta get out in front of this." I said to her. "Said all I'm gonna say." She said. "Okay. Okay. Fine." Beau said then he nods to me and we both stand up. "This is your one chance." Beau warns her but she doesn't say anything and we start to leave the room.

"One last thing." She said and we stop at the doorway. "Paige is alive. Proves Walter's innocent. Least you can do is let my boy out." She said and I turn to her. "That really what you're concerned about?" I asked her. "Maybe if I patch things up with him, he can help us find out where Buck's hiding. If he's alive." Sunny said then Beau and I share a look at this and he nods. "Let me see what I can do." He said and we leave the room and I shut the door behind us.

After pulling a few strings to get Walter out of prison and letting Sunny go, we began to search in the woods near Sunny's campsite and where Paige said she was held captive. Jenny was on her phone as we try to find this secret bunker.

"Cassie's on her way." Jenny tells us once she hangs up her phone. "The SAR team's K unit picked up Paige's scent out by the highway. Must've been where she, uh, stopped to look for a ride." Beau said as the three of us walk around and a few other officers go to the opposite direction.

"It's gonna be tough to locate a bunker in these woods." I remarked as Beau's radio goes static. "Sheriff, do you copy?" The SAR team lead called and Beau pulls out the radio. "Hey, go for Arlen." He said. "Dogs just lost the scent." He informs and Jenny rolls her eyes while I sighed. "Copy that. Keep me posted." Beau said into the radio then ends the call.

"We must be close. Let's fan out." Jenny suggests. "Yeah." Beau said until we heard footsteps behind us. "Hey." A voice said and we turn to see it was Cassie. "Hey." Beau greets.

"The deputies down on the fire road pointed me in your direction. Anything yet?" Cassie asked. "No. No, nothing." I replied. "Okay, well, we were missing two hearts." Cassie said as she pulls out her map and we walk up to her. "Here and here. They're further out than the other ones. What if the underground bunker is outside of the cluster?" She asked after she pointed at different parts of the map.

"According to the map, it's gotta be this way." She said as she points ahead. "Okay." Jenny said and we go towards the direction she pointed.

"Okay. Last one should be somewhere here." Cassie said then Beau points ahead and clicks his tongue. "Right there." He said as he points towards a tree that had a heart carved into it but it looked like it had aged for some years. "Good eye, Texas." I complimented. "Yeah." Beau said. "We're close." Cassie said and we look around and I noticed something behind the trees, something that looked metal and had steps.

"Hey, guys." I said and I pointed it out. "You were right, Cass. Bunker near the hearts." Beau said and we head over to the entrance of the bunker with our guns raised.

The girls and I take the sides while Beau climbs up on top then points to the entrance door. We stand ready as he pulls out a stun grenade, pulls the pin, throws it in the bunker and runs a few feet away before it explodes.

We then run in and climb down the ladder to get inside and immediately I see bloody shoe prints on the concrete ground. We pull out our flashlights and start to walk around, cautiously.

"Sheriff's Department!" Beau shouts but nothing. "Clear!" Beau shouts after looking around a room. "Clear." Jenny shouts as Cassie and I look around the large area, where it looked like a struggle had happened.

"Paige was lucky to make it out of here alive." Cassie said. "Yeah, there's definitely a sign of a struggle, but no sign of Buck. Sonofabitch is still out there." He grumbles as I see blood splatter on the floor.

"Hey, guys." Jenny calls out and we turn and see a shelf with aged and dirty jars in it. "What the...?" Beau mutters, horrified, as we get a closer look at the jars. There were tapes on these jars with names on them, female names. And inside the jars were human hearts.

Jenny turns one jar around and see the name Blaire on it. "Blaire Lucan." Jenny mutters. "Oh, my God." I whispered, terrified, and I look around at the others as they too looked beyond horrified at what we were seeing.

Later, after we got out of that horrible bunker, we got a call that there was a dead body in the woods, not far from where we were, and we head over there.

"I'll call you as soon as I can. Okay, thanks." Jenny said into her phone after we taped up the crime scene and her, Cassie, Beau and I surround the victim's body. "Hey. So the, uh, victim's name is Gabriel Irving. His neck was broken. Looks like the, uh, killer used his bare hands." Beau informed us.

"So, I just talked to his sister. He hunts up this way. His rifle and truck are missing." She tells us. "Crime techs don't believe that the blood smeared on his clothes is even his." I informed. "This is Buck." Cassie said, firmly. "You think he's making a run for it?" Beau asked her. "Maybe. I don't know." Cassie said.

"Mm. I doubt he'll stray too far. This is Buck's hunting ground." Jenny said and I noticed Cassie was deep in thought. "What are you thinking?" I asked her. "We have to go back to Sunny. She's gotta know something." She said. "Yeah, you're right. Alright, we'll set up a grid search in case Buck decides to ditch the truck and escape on foot." Beau said.

"And he's badly hurt, so what would be his next move?" I asked the others and they all had to think.



*3rd Person POV*

"Right. Yeah, no, no, I under...I understand. Okay. Yeah. Alright, bye." Beau said into his phone at his office as Carla comes in, looking upset. "What's going on?" She asked him. "Manhunt for Buck Barnes. I'm a little swamped right now. Can this wait?" Beau asked her as he hangs up his phone. "No, it can't." Carla said, in a firm but also fearful voice.

"I got followed today, Beau. And Avery left me some weird message." Carla said and Beau looks at her, concerned. "Wait. Who followed you?" He asked her. "Some cowboy. I'm telling you, it really freaked me out." She said, shakily. "Okay. W-Where's Em?" Beau asked her. "At work." Carla replied.

"Have you heard from her?" Beau asked her. "No, not since this morning." Carla said and Beau narrows his eyes, concerned.


Meanwhile, Cassie and (y/n) walk into the Dewell and Hoyt office, (y/n) went with her to maybe help figure out anything on Buck while Jenny and Pops went to go have a chat with Sunny.

But the moment they entered the office, it was dark. Almost like Denise and Emily had closed up for the day. "I'm back. Brought (y/n) with me." Cassie called out but no response.

"Denise? Emily?" (Y/n) called out as Cassie goes to one of the desk lamps to turn it on but nothing. "That's not good." (Y/n) mutters as she walks around the desk to see the laptop was off as well.

Then Cassie's phone buzzes and she sees that it is Beau. She goes to answer it and puts it on speaker. "Hey. Is Emily with you?" Cassie asked him. "No, I-I was calling to see if she was still at the office." Beau said and Cassie and (y/n) share a scared look.

"Well, (y/n) and I just...we just got here, and no one's here." Cassie said as (y/n) looks around the room. "All their stuff is here, but...Something's not right." (Y/n) said. "I'm on my way to you two right now." Beau said. "Okay." The girls said and Cassie hangs up and her and (y/n) share a frightened look.

"Oh, God. What do we do?" Carla asked, shaking with tears, once Beau ends his call. "Listen to me. Stay here. Keep your phone close to you. I'm gonna go find her. I promise." Beau said as he gathers his jacket and keys. "Okay." Carla cries as Beau runs out of the office and the station.

"Someone flipped the breaker, cut the power, and then broke in here." Cassie tells Beau and Jenny as they walk into the office. "Great. So no power, no surveillance footage." Jenny said, annoyed. "No." Cassie said. "Okay. Let's think. Why take Denise and Emily?" Jenny asked.

"It's got to do with Avery and the money he stole. I need to find him." Beau mutters. "Any idea where he might be held up?" (Y/n) asked him. "Carla will know." He said. "Do you want me to go with you?" (Y/n) asked him. "No. Get a response team ready, okay? But I don't want anybody doing anything without checking with me!" Beau shouts, panicking, the last few words as he walks out of the office. The three girls share a worried look.

Beau knocks on Avery's hotel door a couple of time but no answer. Not having the patience, Beau kicks the door open to see Avery standing there, jumping back in fright. "Where is she? Where is she?!" Beau asked Avery, angrily, as he grabs him and shoves him against the wall of the room.

"Who?" Avery asked. "Emily! Someone took her!" Beau screams and Avery stares at him, frightened. "No." He mutters, shocked. "I swear to you, Avery, if anything happens to her, I'm gonna destroy you." Beau growls and Avery holds his hands up. "Just wait, wait. Look, I'm meeting Tony tonight, to make the deal, alright?" He said.

"Does he have them?!" Beau asked him, angrily. "I...I don't know. How do I..." Avery stammers, scared. "Where's my daughter, Avery?!" Beau shouts but Avery just stares at him, fearful, not having answers. Beau lets him go and runs a hand over his face before he glares back at Avery.

"I'm gonna go with you to this meeting." He said, determined. "I can't turn up with law enforcement, can I?" Avery said, quickly. "What?" Beau asked, confused, but Avery continues. "That'll be bad for everyone. Look, everything's planned. Let's just stick to the plan, alright?" Avery exclaims.

"You think that I'm gonna let you freelance on this, Avery? You're gonna wear a wire. You're gonna wear a wire, and I'm gonna listen to every word that is said in that meeting." Beau said, determined. "I know you have no reason to trust me, but you have to believe me when I say to you that...that I...I want Emily back, too. I want her back!" Avery exclaims as Beau watches him.

"Then, man, you better start listening to me. You better start listening to me and do exactly as I say." Beau demanded and Avery stares at him then looks down, not having any other choice.




*(y/n)'s POV*

"Denise's phone was ditched on the side of the road half a mile from the office." I said to Jenny and Cassie as we walked back into the station. "Wait. So we can't track them." Cassie said and Jenny and I share a look towards her and Cassie sighs. "We'll find another way." She said just as Pops comes up to us.

"Hey. Yeah, someone just called in, said they saw a man fitting Buck Barnes' description leaving the Four Corners Quick Mart." Pops informs. "I'll check it out. You two focus on Denise and Emily." Cassie tells me as she points at me and Jenny then she leaves.

"Any activity at Avery's house?" Jenny asked Pops. "Nothing so far." Pops said just as Beau walks in, looking angry but determined. "Hey. Did you find Avery?" I asked him. Yeah, I found him." He grumbles as he walks past us and into his office. Jenny and I share a look before she shrugs. "Go talk to him..." she tells me and I nod as I go into Beau's office and shut the door behind me.

"Do you really trust Avery on this?" I asked Beau after he told me what he found out as I lean against his desk and he stands up, gripping his football between his hands in a tight hold. "It's the best lead we got, so I'm gonna have to." He said.

"So they took Emily as collateral." I said. "Yeah, that had to be the move." Beau said as he sets his football down on a shelf then goes to sit next to me on his desk. "I cannot believe that I let this happen." He mutters, upset. "This is not your fault. We'll get them back." I tell him as he looks down, distraught. A look I was all too familiar with as I remember seeing the exact same look on my face in the mirror after Liam was killed.

"You know I'm here for you." I tell him, softly, as I place my right hand over his left hand. "That's my baby." He whispers, tearfully, and I felt my heart break at this as I see unshed tears in his eyes. "It's your call. Whatever you want to do, I got your back. And so does Jenny and Pops." I said to him and he looks down as he thinks then raises his head.

"I gotta play this thing out with Avery." He said. "Okay. Then...Then that's what we'll do." I whispered to him as I move my right hand to his back and run it up and down his back, soothingly, then take his hand in my left hand.




*3rd Person POV*

Donno and Tonya were working at the diner when Beau and Avery walk in, Donno looked over at the knife not far from him as he decides whether he needed it or not. "What's the story here, gentlemen? Old husband bonding with new husband? Came by to sample one of Donno's famous sandwiches?" Tonya asked them, cheerfully. "No, not exactly." Beau said. "Yeah, I didn't think so." Tonya said as Donnie reaches for the knife.

"Relax. I'm not here to arrest you." Beau assures Donno, making him stop. "Well, no sandwiches, no arrests. I'm all out of guesses." Tonya said, still in her cheery voice. "There's been a new development with tonight's meeting." Avery said. "My daughter has gone missing." Beau said and Tonya's cheery demeanor changes to shock.

"So has Denise. Somebody has taken them." Beau adds. "Put 'em on a milk carton." Donno said, plainly, and Beau glares at him. "Sounds like a job for law enforcement." Tonya said. "I know about your deal with Avery, okay? And I need you to back him as planned. He needs to make that deal with this Tony, okay? 'Cause the only thing that matters to me is that Emily and Denise do not get hurt." Beau tells them and Tonya and Donno share a look before she looks at Beau.

"And what are we getting out of it?" She asked. "No arrests. Thought we covered that." Beau said, a hint of annoyance on his face. "And the money's yours. All of it." Avery said and Tonya lightens up at this. "You got yourself a deal." She said as she holds out her hand and Beau grasps her hand. "Then we're on the same page? Emily and Denise do not get hurt." He reiterates, firmly. "Yeah." Tonya said and they finished shaking hands then Beau holds a hand out to Donno.

"Donno?" He asked and Donno thinks. "I don't like it. In bed with law types and sneaky English. He probably hunts foxes." Donno said and Tonya walks up to him. "One last job, Donno. That's it. Then we're out." She whispers and Donno looks at her then back at Beau before he groans and shakes Beau's hand.

Once they were done, Beau walks out. "Scottish." Avery corrects Donno and he follows Beau out of the diner.


*(y/n)'s POV*

"Emily's missing?" Dakota asked me as I talk to him on the phone. "Yeah, her and Denise, who is the secretary at Dewell and Hoyt agency." I said. "Damn...how's Beau handling it?" Dakota asked me and I sighed. "Not well. He is trying to put on a brave face but..." I stopped then sighed. "It's just crazy here. And then we have to find Buck."

"That is blowing my mind, right there! Buck is the Bleeding Hearts murderer? That's just...wild...he seemed like a calm, cool collected man." Dakota said. "Yeah, well, looks can be deceiving." I said.

"How are you guys gonna get Emily and Denise back?" Dakota asked me. "Well, Avery is supposed to meet these guys that might have her. Apparently, Luke and Paige stole some money from this guy and they've been looking for them. Then Avery was able to get his hand on it and these guys targeted him. Beau is hoping in this meeting we'll get them back." I said and I hear Dakota sigh.

"Damn, just sounds like one big mess. Do you need me to come back? I can drop everything and Harry and I can come back." Dakota said and I shake my head. "No, I don't know what is gonna become of this or how messy it's gonna get but I don't want Harry in the middle of all this." I said, firmly. "I do appreciate it though."

"How are you doing?" He asked me after a moment of silence. "Fine, why?" I asked. "Well this pretty similar to what you went through. I just wanna make sure you're in a good headspace." He said and I frown. "Honestly? I'm nervous and scared. All I want is to get Emily and Denise back but I'm afraid we're gonna fail...that I might fail again." I said, my voice trailing off at the end.

"Hey, don't think that! You guys will do good and this meeting Avery is going is gonna go well and you'll get Emily and Denise back safe and sound." Dakota said, optimistically, and I smiled. "Then you'll be a hero to your cowboy prince." Dakota teased and I rolled my eyes as I scoff. "I'd punch you right now." I said and Dakota laughs. "Well, good thing there's hundreds of miles between us then." He said and I roll my eyes just as I see Beau and Avery coming in.

"I better go...looks like it's about game time." I said. "Okay, be careful and keep me updated." He said. "I will. Love you." I said. "Love you too." Dakota said and I hang up my phone.


*3rd Person POV*

That night, at the bar, Avery, Tonya and Donno walk in to see Tony and his crew sitting inside, waiting for them. "Tonya." Tony greets. "No serenade this time?" Tonya asked him and Tony just smirks.

"So, who are these, uh, guys, hmm?" Avery asked as he looks around to the men. "Yeah, well, that's Tex." Tony said as he gestures to the tall older man dressed up as a cowboy. "And these are The Toronto Triplets." Tony said as he gestures to the three men sitting around him.

"I believe you're acquainted with them, Donno." Tony said as Donno glares at him. "They're not real triplets." He said and Tony chuckles.

Meanwhile, Beau, Jenny, (y/n) and Poppernak were sitting in a surveillance van, listening into the conversation from Avery's wired microphone. Poppernak was sitting close to the door of the back of the van, Jenny sitting next to him, Beau sitting next to her and (y/n) on his other side.

"Ask about Emily and Denise, damn it!" Beau growls as he holds some headphones in his right hand. "He's letting us know how many people are in there. This is good." Jenny assures him. "Yeah, that sonofabitch thinks he's a lot smarter than he really is." Beau grumbles. "Stick to the plan, Avery. Stick to the plan." He mutters and (y/n) places her right hand on his left hand.

She runs her thumb over his knuckles and, immediately, Beau grabs her hand and holds it, tightly, and she continues to run her thumb over the back of his hand.

"Since my man vanished, and your kneecaps seem in fine shape, Avery, I'm going to assume that you offered Tonya and Donno here a better deal than I did. With money that don't belong to you." Tony said. "Where's my daughter?" Avery asked him, firmly, and Tony smirks.

"Where's my money?" Tony asked. "You get half. That's the deal." Tonya said and Tony chuckles. "Really?" He asked. "Only if Emily's safe." Avery said. "And what if she's not?" Tony asked and Avery pulls out a gun and aims it at Tony.

"I'm not gonna ask you again. Where is my daughter?" He asked as the triplets stand up and aim their guns at Avery and Donno pulls out his gun, aiming it at them. "Just put the gun away." Tony said.

Hearing this, shocks Beau while Jenny starts to stand up. "What the hell's he doing?" Beau asked, confused. "He's got a gun." (Y/n) said. "Hey, do we move?" Pops asked and Jenny looks over at Beau, getting her gun ready. "Your call." She said and Beau sits there, closes his eyes and shakes his head. "No, not until we get a location on the girls." He said and Jenny shakes her head and Beau looks at (y/n), wondering if he made the right call.

"Did you take his little girl, Tony?" Tex asked Tony. "What the hell is it to you, Tex? Take the money, take the ride." Tony said and Tex stands up. "I draw the line at kids." Tex said and he holsters his gun and starts to leave. "The hell are you doing?" Tony asked him.

"What's it look like? You're welcome to shoot me in the back, but I don't believe you will." Tex said as he turns to Tony then he tips his hat. "Adios." He said and he leaves the bar.

Tony then stands up and sighs. "Just put the gun away. 'Cause I've got a deal for you. The only one you'll get. Now, you prove to me that you have the money and that you can transfer our half to us right now...and I'll tell you where Emily is." Tony tells Avery, who stares at him for a moment before he lowers his gun.

"Guns down, boys." Tony tells the triplets and they do so. "You too, Donno.I think Avery's being very smart. And we're even about to be friends." Tony said and Donno lowers his gun as Avery holds up his phone that holds the information of the money.

"All I have to do is enter the amount and hit send. Now you tell me where my daughter is." Avery said to Tony. "Wow. You must really love that girl." Tony said. "Yes. Yes, I do." Avery said. Tony chuckles and then, as quick as a flash, Tony pulls out his gun and shoots Avery twice in the chest. Avery goes down and drops the phone.

Hearing this, Beau slams his hand on the table then turns to the others. "Move!" He orders as they all stand up. "Right behind ya!" Jenny shouts and they get out of the van. "Move in!" Pops said into his radio.

"Well, now that we've got the amateur out of the way, I think we can, uh..." Tony said then Tonya pulls out her gun and shoots Tony in the chest, making him fall. This then caused a gun fight as the triplets then start firing but Donno pulls Tonya down. He picks up one of the tables and uses it as a shield and starts firing at them men while Tonya shakes.

"You okay?" Donno asked her. "Yeah, I think so." Tony said. "Cover me! Reloading!" One of the men said and Donno stands up and fires several times at the triplets as they fire back at him.

Eventually, Donno kills them all then he starts grunting and falls to his knees. "Donno?!" Tonya exclaims as he falls on his back. "No, no, no, no, no! No, no. No, no." Tonya gasps, panicking. "I'm alright." Donno grunts in pain and Tonya places a hand on Donno and noticed blood was coming out of his side.

"No. Help! Somebody help him!" Tonya shouts as she looks around as Donno starts to breathe heavily. "You remember when you...When you stabbed me with that stick?" Donno asked her and Tonya cries. "Of course." She cries. "Not killing you was the...best thing I ever did." He said and Tonya leans in and kisses him on the lips.

She pulls back and he looks at bit stunned as sirens began to wail in the distance. Donno then falls in his back and starts to pass out. "No. No, no, no, no, no. Stay with me. Okay, Donno, stay right here and stay with me. Look at me, please. Please, somebody help!" Tonya cries as Beau, Jenny, (y/n), Pops and other officers come into the bar.

"Nobody move! Sheriff's Department!" Beau shouts and Tonya looks up at them. "Please help!" She cries and Jenny and Pops go over to her. Pops helps Tonya up as Jenny calls on her phone.

"Hey. We need a medic. Call an ambulance." She said as Beau and (y/n) look around. Beau looks at Avery's dead body while (y/n) goes up to Tony, where she noticed that he was still alive. "Beau!" She said and Beau turns to see Tony as he groans and chokes on his blood.

"Where is she, huh? Where is my daughter?" Beau asked Tony as he kneels down and grabs Tony by the collar of his shirt. "I-I...I don't have her. It was...someone else." Tony was able to say. "Who? Who?!" Beau shouts, angrily, and Tony whispers to Beau the answer before he dies.

(Y/n) stares at Beau before he lets go of Tony, stands up then turns to her a look of fear etched on his face. "What is it?" She asked as Jenny walks over to them. "Buck has them." Beau said, stunned, and (y/n)'s and Jenny's heart drops at this.



You can feel it from my heart

From here on after

Let's stay the way we are right now

And share all the love and laughter

That a lifetime

Will allow

Denise and Emily, tied up and their mouths taped up, were in the backseat of Buck's truck, whimpering in fear, as he listens to this George Strait song. "I could cross my heart, And promise you." Buck sings along. "Oh, that's good. Sing it, George! Ain't this good?" Buck asked the girls as they sob and whimper.

"Sunny and I danced to that song at our wedding. Man, oh, man, she had white cowboy boots on under that dress, the little minx. Had 'em embroidered in blue thread with our wedding date. June 21st. Summer solstice. Longest day of the year." Buck reminisces and Emily lets out a muffled scream.

"You know what? You need to be quiet. Listen to me. 'Cause I am the Alpha and I am the Omega. But right now, if you don't mind, I've got an important call to make." He said as he pulls out his cellphone.


Sunny Barnes looks out the window to see the officer still sitting at her driveway until her cellphone rings. She looks at it to see that it is a blocked call. "Buck? Buck, is that you?" She asked, worried. "Buck?" She asked again and he responded with just three words.

"Are you mad?"
