Two weeks later, Cuddy feels so much better, emotionally that is. Physical, she is exhausted.
- आप could nap in here– her assistant tell her – I won't tell anyone –
- No, the दिन is almost over –
Cuddy is sitting on the little सोफ़ा, सोफे in her office. Moments like this, she misses her old office.
The phone rings. – I'll get it – Jonah says – It's Mr. Douglas –
- Hi –
- Hi Lisa, I got your message, I couldn't answer –
- It's okay…Are आप busy tonight? –
- Well…I'm watching the game with Tony and Zach –
Cuddy wonders why men say "the game", like everybody knows what game is on.
- Are आप mad at me? – Lucas asks her.
- For आप hanging out with your friends? No –
- Anything else? – Lucas insists – You've been अभिनय weird lately, if आप don't want to see me, if there is something I did… –
- We both did it –
- What? –
- Nothing…lunch tomorrow? –
- Okay, bye – Lucas hangs up.
Cuddy sighs.
- That's the face of a woman hiding something – Jonah says very sassy
- I'm not hiding anything – Cuddy loves her fabulous gay assistant
- Are आप cheating on him? –
- No…I think I'm in प्यार with him –
- आप say it like it was a problem – Jonah puts his hand on his hip. – आप don't think he loves आप back? –
- I'm pretty sure he does –
- Is there another man या woman involve? –
- Not anymore –
- So? Why are आप so nervous? –
- I don't know, my प्यार life has been… eclectic. A few months back I was heartbroken and now…–
- Dr. Cuddy, believe me, having those kind of problems, makes life fun –
- I'll tell him everything tomorrow –
_____________________________________________
- So the priest said: Only girlfriends निगलना, निगल, निगल संकलन – Tony is telling a dirty joke – and the man answered: It was my wife! –
Zach and Tony laugh at the joke. They are in Lucas' apartment drinking बीयर, बियर and watching the game.
- Did आप hear the joke? – Tony looks at Lucas.
- Yeah, sure – The detective tells him – Talking about wives, do आप want to marry Kelly? –
Tony spits his beer.
- Subtle as always – Zach says
- Did she tell आप something? – Tony cleans the spilled beer. – Because I do, I do want to marry her. But I had a long engagement in mind –
- Do आप have a job to support her? –
- I make money, good money, what is it to you? – Tony gets defensive – You're not his dad –
Lucas observes him – Just looking out for my neighbor – he smiles.
Tony frowns – You're an odd fella, did आप know that? –
- Nah…- Zach says – I can tell something is bugging him, what is it Lucas? –
- Nothing I'm fine, let's watch the game –

The अगला day.
- Hello? –
- Good morning, are आप Julia Cuddy? –
Lucas is making the phone call using a disposable cell phone.
- Yes –
- Hi, I'm calling from Saint Kilpatrick's hospital. I'm trying to reach Dr. Cuddy, your sister. Do आप have a number या address where I can contact her? –
- What is this about? –
- A patient here was treated द्वारा Dr. Cuddy, we just have some सवालों –
- Who are you? –
- Uhm...Dr. Marlowe – Lucas comes up with the name द्वारा looking at the hat, Cuddy gave him.
- Well, sorry Dr. Marlowe, my sister is on a sabbatical, she is travelling. I could give आप her e mail, but that's all –
- Thank आप very much –
Lucas hangs up.

Cuddy knocks at the door.
- Hi, come in – Lucas opens the door.
- Ready to go – Cuddy is a little bit nervous. Lucas notices how she is playing with her bracelet.
- Everything alright? – Lucas takes his jacket.
- Yep – Cuddy stops playing with her jewelry – Let's just go to that place that आप like, you'll order the steak, I'll order the salad, and then I'll forget that I'm vegetarian and eat a piece of your स्टेक –
Lucas smiles – Okay –
_______________________________________
On the hallway they run into Tony and Kelly
- Hi guys! – Kelly says very enthusiastic. – Going out? –
- Just for lunch – Cuddy answers.
- Have fun –
Lucas nods.
Tony and Kelly go to their apartment.
- You're quiet today – Cuddy tells Lucas.
- I'm just thinking… –
Lucas sees a man in the lobby. He doesn't recognize him as a neighbor. The man has a टोपी on and is looking at the mailboxes.
- Hello – Lucas says loud and clear to the man.
- हे – the man keeps his head down
Lucas opens the building door for Cuddy, she walks down the steps, but Lucas stays at the door. – What is it? –
- Stay here, no wait…go to the car –

Lucas runs back to the building, but it's too late. He is on the hallway when he hears the gunshots followed द्वारा Kelly's screams.
He gets to the apartment the man he saw on the lobby is pointing a gun to Kelly.
- Hey! – Lucas yells, the man turns around and points at the Private Investigator.
Lucas holds the gun with his left hand, the man shoots again, but Lucas directs the gun away from his body.
- Fuckin' bastard – the man says as the struggle continues. Lucas hits the man with his right hand in the face, knocking him over. The detective jumps, and puts his knee on the man chest, but he wont' let go the gun.
- Goddamed it! – Lucas hits him again and again until the man loses consciousness. It all took seconds.
Lucas looks at his left. Kelly is crying, and laying on the floor is Tony, dead.
- Come here – Lucas moves Kelly away from the body. He takes his cell phone and dials 911
– There's been a shooting –
Lucas holds her and she cries on his shoulder.
– Everything will be alright –
