They both knew their tensions were high as they calmed down from their tiff. Though they didn’t really fight, they knew it would end whatever they had begun if they continued. Haven knew then he really didn’t think that he deserved her in his life though he had wanted it for even longer than she had. She knew whatever he had done in his life, he had been trying to survive. She knew he didn’t have it easy or things handed to him like she had in her own life.
That didn’t change anything, though. She loved him for everything that he was and everything she knew he could be with

As he looked at them, he knew it was time for them to act. “They need me to come in.” Mack said, and she looked at him.“What?” Haven asked as she looked at him, surprised. “It is time to come out of hiding,” Mack said with a chuckle. “The main players are all taken in, including your cousin,” Mack said. “With the help of your brother, they found out enough to finally pick him up.”“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Haven asked as she looked at him. They both stood up, and he bent down to cover her mouth with

The drive out of the house was peaceful though Haven didn’t know what to really expect when the garage door opened up. She was hoping this wouldn’t turn into a huge thing where she and Mack were being chased down. There was no one there waiting for them to leave. She had to smile to herself that it was nothing like what she had thought it would be. Mack looked out the windows and was slightly smiling to himself. This might be the exact thing he needed to finally be happy and free from the other department. He really didn’t want his name attached to them and all that they had a hand in. He would forever be labeled as a dirty cop if this hadn’t happened.

The station house was busy as people were darting everywhere around the desks. It almost looked like they were over the number of people that could be in there. However, when Mack walked in, they all stopped and looked at him. He was standing tall and in a polo shirt and slacks that made him seem almost untouchable. This was different then what they knew him to wear. Women’s eyes went wide, and the men all had a shadow pass over their faces. It was like Mack was almost a demon or something to these people. It had to be because he had made so much work for them. Haven knew that this was going to be the thing he was remembered for the entirety of his career. He was the lynchpin to bringing down an entire police department and the criminal s

“Haven, what are you saying?” Mack asked as she stared in the direction of the man.“I have seen him recently.” She said as she looked at him. “Mack, you know I remember everything.” “I know.” He said as she looked at the older man, “She is a genius. She has a photographic memory as well. If she says she saw him, she did.” “Everyone here is clean, though.” The older man said as he looked in the direction of the man, and he took a large breath of air into his lungs. “He isn’t one of mine, though.&rd

“In the hospital, when a code is called, all doctors have to respond, even ones like me, if I am there.” Haven said as she looked at the man, “I was busy getting coffee and ice. The ice in the emergency room is always the best in the hospital. I have no idea why. I went to the one that was just arriving, and that was Mack. I looked at him, and he looked at me. We hadn’t seen each other in years, but he was the same. I said his name, and the doctor who took the lead heard me. I was reassigned to the other patient because of the friends and family policy at the hospital. You can’t work on people you know.” “Sounds like a good policy.” The captain said.

Mack walked out, knowing that this whole thing was mostly over for them. He would have more to do when he got back to work, but now he had to begin the process of getting her on board with everything that he wanted out of their joint lives. He smiled when he remembered the small things they used to do on campus when they were there. He looked at her and smiled, and with a sigh, “I think we have some things to do.” “Like?” she asked as she looked at him with her head tilted upwards. She had no idea of the things he was planning.“Can I drive?” he

“Haven, Will you marry me so I can have you for the rest of my life?” Mack asked as he slipped something on her finger. “I wanted to finish what we began years ago and make it so we can move on to newer and better things.” “Mack.” She said. “A few days. We have been together for a few days, that is it. What are you doing right now?” “No, we were with each other every day for the last decade and more.” He said as he looked at her. The look in his eyes was e

The flight to Vegas was quick, and he didn’t have a real plan for when they got there. He had time to think about everything and plan this out for her. The bright lights and people were enough to keep her busy for the moment. He looked up the where they had to go to and then started walking that way. He had an idea of the things that they needed, and luckily for him, she also had everything there. He smiled to himself, and then they were in front of the building. “This is your last chance.” He said softly. “Yes, because I chose to fly halfway across the country with you to say no.” Haven said as she started up the steps and then loo
