 She woke with a start and didn’t know why she was wide awake. She listened in the darkness and heard his soft breathing behind her as she had been somewhat pushed into the wall. She couldn’t think of the reason why she was so awake, though. He was not restless, nor were there any noises in the house or any alerts going off from the cameras. Nothing seemed to be out of place except for the man in the back of her. She was still getting used to the idea of him being there in her life. She didn’t know if he wanted this to last like she hoped though he was certainly acting like it. She didn’t know what the future held for either of them, but she would enjoy this time with him for everything it was worth.

 The two followed the same routine the next day though they both were getting tired of being in the smaller room. Haven was starting to lose her calm and collected self. She wanted to do something that would end this once and for all. She looked at Mack, who was waiting for a phone call from the other department on some information. He understood better than most about the statement, hurry up and wait. She did not. “I want to do something.” She said as he looked at him.“Oh, really like what?” he asked with his eyebrow raised and a grin taking over his face.

 Mack had the beginning of the plan in his head. He was going to do this without getting her involved. The major players were all on board except her. The one who didn’t know what was going on all around her. She could make this very difficult. “I want to go back to work.” He said as he laughed as his fingers got caught up in her hair as he was combing through it.“I can see that.” Haven said as she knew that he was a planner, and he liked seeing things through to the end. She had watched him in the past two days, and he hadn’t changed at all since the days he would schedule out everything, and he even tried to get her to have a

 She looked at him, “Well, then it is our private joke.” She smiled at him. “Mack, I couldn’t imagine my life without you in it then or now.”“Good because when this is over, I am showing off the fact that I got you.” Mack said as he nuzzled in closer to her, “No one would believe it that I could have someone like you.” “Stop.” She said. “You do realize I am just as flawed as you are.” “You’re better at hiding it.” He said with a chuckle. “But I know you have your faults, Haven.

 They had no idea what it was like outside the room. She thought it might be a cold rainy day by the way she felt though she also knew that it could be just because they were trapped in the room and she wasn’t moving like she normally did. Haven knew that Mack was getting even more restless than she was. It wasn’t like either of them to want to just lay around for days on end, but there wasn’t much either of them could do. “You need to shave,” Haven said as he looked at her, and she looked away from staring at him for five minutes straight.“Why?” he asked with a chuckle.

 The following night he received the phone call he had known was coming. The other department had gone through the footage of his apartment that his secret cameras had picked up, and in the process, they found five different officers and higher-ups placing things there that they found. Mack had known all along that they were there to plant things there to discredit him from anything he would and could say about them. Those five were being dealt with by the state police at the moment. Some of the other officers were confused about the reason they had been called in for questioning, but it was soon apparent that the ones who were being asked the questions were low level in the grand scheme of this. Soon the doctors were also pulled in, and differe

  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
