Chapter 07: Back home
Lucas was practically running – Pick up the phone, damn it –
- Fowler –
- Tom, it's me Lucas. I'm out – The private eye was going back to the hotel – Where are my stuff? All the things in the hotel room? –
- A couple of cops where here custoding the place, but now that they let आप go, they are gone –
- Okay, okay – Lucas was blocks away – And now? –
- Well, there are other guests checking in, we हटाइए your things here to my office. Wait; there is someone at the door –
Lucas heard some noises.
- Fowler? –
- …shaved his head…my car – Fowler कहा but no to the phone. After that was a click.
What happened? Car? Lucas thought to himself Fowler has his own park space
He ran to the other side of the hotel.
Lucas found the parking अंतरिक्ष for the "Security manager", a man with his shaved head was getting in the car.
The Private Eye snuck up behind him and in single movement pushed the man's head against the steering wheel.
- Agh! – The man complained, but didn't have time to react, because Lucas pulled him out of the car and hammerlock him.
- Hi Malcolm – Lucas told him – You're not a red haired anymore –
- आप again? – Malcolm told him very angry – How the hell do आप know my real name? –
- I told you, I've been following आप and I'm not the only one –

Later that day.
- How did आप know he was coming back to the hotel? – Fowler asked Lucas.
They were at the parking lot of the hotel.
- He's a desperate thief. I thought he might tried to recover the stolen files from my computer –
- आप almost break his arm –
- But I didn't –
- Still, I don't get it – Fowler told him – Why didn't just call the police and tell them? –
- Actually…-
- Mr. Douglas – A man in a suit approached them. – आप can collect your reward money tomorrow morning at this address –
- Thank आप – Lucas smiled and the agent walked away.
- Bastard! – Fowler कहा – आप did all this for the money. If I was a coward 5 years ago, आप were greedy and that hasn't change –
Lucas ignored the टिप्पणी दे – Good bye Fowler, good luck keeping your job –

Someone knocked at the door.
- Who's is it? – Cuddy asked
- I'm not room service for sure – Lucas said.
Cuddy opened the door. – You're here! I got your text saying आप were out –
- Not only that, I catch the real killer, and I solve my own case –
The Private eye had a big smile. – Want to hear the story? –
15 मिनटों later…
- Wow – Cuddy कहा truly amazed – आप do this for a living? –
- Not all the time. Anyway, tomorrow I can go get my reward for the federal government– Lucas कहा as he sitting down on a chair – the other payment went directly at my bank account but the assistant want to see me. He कहा it is a surprise –
- I think I had enough surprises for the weekend – Cuddy crossed her arms – I…never mind –
- What? – Lucas was confused
-Your sister कहा something over the phone –
- Yes? –
- That, 5 years पूर्व आप killed a man in self defense –
- Hurm…– his smile was gone. – आप weren't supposed to know –
- I understand is a touchy subject –
- I was never going to tell you. I don't talk about it at all. –
- आप didn't do anything wrong. आप were defending your self, right? –
- I don't talk about it –
- Lucas…-
- Listen Lisa, 2006 was an awful साल for me. Everything was messed up – Lucas stopped talking and he scratched his now grown भालू – I wasn't a cop; I wasn't a soldier, या a father defending his kids. I was a man that in a fight with another man killed him –
Lucas shook his head – I'm neither proud about it nor ashamed. But when people find out, they look at me different –
- Because आप look like आप couldn't hurt a fly –
Lucas smiled – That's was my mom कहा –
- Sorry for bringing आप down – Cuddy uncrossed her arms and walked to Lucas – You're are a good man and everybody that knows you, knows it –
- Thank आप for staying –
- Thank आप for taking me away –
Once again they were having a moment, but Rachel brought them back to reality.
- Mom, look – she pointed at one of her समुद्र तट toys on the carpet.
- I'm tired – Lucas कहा – How about room service tonight? –

अगला morning.
- Are आप Penny… – Lucas read the piece of paper – Kane? Are आप Penny Kane? Eddie Kane's widow? –
The woman looked at Lucas. They were at the funeral home.
- Yes I am –
- Hi, I'm Lucas Douglas Private Investigator – He sat अगला to her on the bench. – I was there when your husband die –
She frowned – Why? What happened? –
- I was investigating someone, and your husband was his bodyguard. Then things got messy and a bad desperate guy killed your husband. I'm sorry –
The woman looked at the casket – Eddie got the bodyguard job to make some extra money to fix our roof –
- Oh –
- The police कहा that the FBI got the murder? –
- Yes, he was wanted द्वारा the FBI. Don't worry; he'll pay for his crime. That's why I'm here –
Lucas took out his wallet.
- I catch him and they give me the reward money. A week पूर्व I wanted this money for a vacation with my girlfriend, but now she broke up with me, well we are on "break" but I don't think… –
- Stop – the woman told him – Why are आप telling me this? –
Lucas handed her a check – I'm so sorry, I really am. I didn't know your husband, I really don't know you, but आप should know that Eddie thought of आप in the end –
Lucas stood up – Goodbye Mrs. Kane –
Cuddy and Rachel were waiting outside.
- Everything okay? – Cuddy asked
- Yes, only one और stop –
Lucas अगला stop was at the office of Rodger Inc.
- With this audio file – the assistant कहा with an usb flash drive at his hand – Mr. Brooks will have to pay millionaire fine –
- Good. I don't like him – Lucas कहा – आप know? I could ई मेल आप the file –
- Yes, but I wanted to congratulate आप personally for a good job in behalf of Mr. Rodgers and his new bride –
- Okay – Lucas shrugged.
- And we have a uhm…plus…for आप –
- Ta dah! – Lucas कहा when he pointed at his new SUV. – A bonus with my pay. It's bright new, has a 6.2 एल V8 engine, 403 hp, 20-Inch Chrome Wheels rear-seat DVD entertainment system and satellite Radio and –
- I got it – Cuddy कहा – It's a nice ride –
They were outside of Rodgers Inc. Cuddy and Rachel admired the car.
- So, want to drive back to New Jersey with me? – Lucas asked.
- What? That's और than a 1000 miles –
- 1043 miles, 21 hours of driving, but we can make stops and it'll be two days –
-You're crazy. I'll take a flight back, I thought we were going to the airport after this –
- Plane tickets are expensive, the stress of going to airport security. Look Rachel can be on the back watching a Sesame सड़क, स्ट्रीट DVD. – Lucas opened the door and help Rachel to get in the vehicle – It'll be fun. Just like this weekend –
- On this weekend your girlfriend gave आप an ultimatum and आप were accused of murder –
- But I bet आप stop thinking about House – Lucas smirked.
- Yes, this trip helped me to not over think the issue– Cuddy leaned against the SUV – आप don't want to think about Jessica –
- No – Lucas leaned too – I have to break up with her, face to face. It won't be fun –
- You're only delaying it – Cuddy told him. At that moment Rachel started to jump on the seat.
- She can't do that in a plane – Lucas told her.
- I don't know – Cuddy was not convinced.
Lucas gave Cuddy, his best smile – Come along Lisa Cuddy –
____________________________________________
Cuddy felt the sun on her arm. She was going back to New Jersey, back home; with Lucas behind the wheel.
She looked at the back सीट where Rachel was sitting. The toddler was enjoying the sight.
- Did आप call your mom and sister? – Lucas asked her.
- Yes, they know I'll be there in a few days –
Cuddy stared at Lucas.
- What is it? – He felt her eyes on him.
- I didn't तारीख, दिनांक आप for almost a साल to prove a point – she finally said.
- I told you, I don't need an explanation –
- Just listen – Cuddy told him – You're right. I knew I had feelings for House, I knew आप and I weren't on the same page. But I couldn't quit the way आप made me feel –
Lucas smiled – What do आप mean? –
- When I was working at the hospital, I had all these thoughts running through my head, all these doubts. Many times, I went back घर thinking about breaking up with you, thinking I needed to be fair with आप –
Lucas pulled off to the side of the road. – But? –
- But then आप held my hand and अगला thing I knew – Cuddy sighed – I was in your arms and आप made the rest of the world disappeared. I guess that's the reason I went to आप after the "incident" with House –
- Well, this road trip has gotten a lot better – Lucas said. – I feel better –
- See? I wasn't a कुतिया, मतलबी –
- Still…-
- Hey! – Cuddy pushed him a little – Let's go, keep driving –
On the radio, the very appropriate "Road to nowhere" द्वारा the Talking head was playing.
- Any ideas of what do आप want for your life? – Lucas asked her.
- I have a few, but I know I'll be okay –
Cuddy smiled again, she was going to be okay.
The End.
Hurm…I'm not sure if I like how this fic turn out, but endings were never my strong.

Leave me a review? Please?
