It was the curtain call and Clift Garrett had to put on a smile.

It was not genuine…

It was not even convincing...

It was rather a smile of disbelief…

"I..." Vulkie began. "I... I was furious,about what you did. You first made my life complete,Clift. Then,Makensie came in the picture. When I was driving towards your house,trying to leave a small note,I saw that Makensie and you pulled up the street and that she was hanging by your side. She was a bit drunk,perhaps a bit too.." Vulkie said and started crying.

"Did YOU shoot Makensie?" Clift asked,with almost shouting you.

"I... I was trying to aim at you,but I changed my mind. God,I changed my mind. She had ruined my "lovestory",she took me away from you,she..." Vulkie said,with a bunch of hicup in her voice.

"I have no choice left,but to "report" you to the police." Clift said and he began to walk away.

"Clift,please... You must understand..." Vulkie said,but Clift already made up his mind.

"It's over..." Clift said and with that,it seemed like Clift threw a rock through a Vulkie-window. Vulkie's life was shattered by this.

"Is Mak angry?" Vulkie asked and Clift sighed. "I don't know... But watch out for Giorgio... He's a tough guy to handle..." Clift said and with that,he left Vulkie's apartment,going back towards Cody...

Hours later, Makensie was sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed. Georgio was at her side, and Claudia, Makensie's nanny and housekeeper, had took Cody home.

Makensie turned her head, waking up, but still groggy. Looking over at Georgio, who looked like he needed a good sleep, she reached over and touched his hand. Jumping up, Georgio looked at Makensie, and smiled.

"Makensie! How are you feeling?", he said, straightening his jacket.

Makensie chuckled, and said, "I feel like I drank a case of beer lastnight or been run over by a Mack truck"

He patted her hand, and said, "I'm sorry this happened to you" Then, quietly, he added, "You do know, I will go after the person who did this"

As she looked at Georgio, Clift came in, saying, "I am taking care of it. I talked to Vulkie...."

Awhile later, after Clift explained everything, Makensie, who had no compassion whatsoever, said, "Took you from HER? I dont think she really had you to begin with, did she? I mean, come on, Clift...."

"I know...I know, it is crazy. No, she didnt HAVE me. You are the Mother of my son, and even though, you and I will never be together, you will always remain a priority in my life", Clift said.

Georgio, who had remained silent during this whole thing, looked at Clift. As tough as Clift was, he never knew how to take Georgio, and quite frankly, he did make Clift nervous.

"Clift, I don't care how weak you are to damsel's in distress. I dont care that this Vulkie had a umm moment of insanity. If you do not take care of this, I will be sure to take care of this myself...and in a way that isn't legal. I don't have a weak heart, like YOU have. I genuinely care about Makensie Brewer, and won't put anyone before her or HER son", Georgio said, his eyes turning dangerous.

Clift returned with, "I dont put anyone before them either, and I do plan on taking care of this. I've already turned Vulkie over to the police" *more*

Looking at Makensie, Clift said, "No matter the things I have done, or the woman I've dated, they havent been more important than you Makensie. I don't know why Vulkie thought there was anything between us. We just met 2 weeks ago, for Gosh sakes. I don't love that woman at all, and I never told her I did. I can't help how she feels though, as insane as it is"

Taking a deep breath, Makensie said, "I don't care one way or the other how that woman feels, or how you feel. I do think you have an obligation to me, to some degree. With that being said, I am glad that you turned Vulkie over to the police, and showed her once and for all, where your priorities are at. You also need to be more choosy with who you, ummmm, throw down in bed. You DO have a son, and you need to set a good example"

Clift agreed, then looked at Georgio. "You don't need to do anything more, Georgio. I have this handled"

"I hope you do, Mr Garret. One thing about me...I'm not like YOU. I don't melt at a woman in distress. You really need to grow a backbone, you give men a bad name", Georgio said. He never really cared for Clift because he saw him as a playboy, and a part time Father. Carlos was the one who was the real Dad to him, and Cody thought just as much of him. Georgio was almost envious because deep down, Makensie Brewer melted his heart. Only he was tough enough to over-look that, and just do what he was paid to do. To drive, and to protect...at whatever cost. Ofcourse, it did help that he had great feelings for Makensie. It made him ruthless toward anyone who harmed her, or tried to harm her.

Makensie said, tiredly, "Please, please, please....not right now. When I get better, I do plan on having a talk with Vulkie. She will be behind bars, but, I plan on having my say with her"

Clift brushed his hand through his hair, and said, "I figured you would have to get your say. You always do"

Looking at Clift, Makensie smiled, and said, "You're right. I always do. That crazy woman tried to kill me, and I do have a right to say what I think about that. I never had a problem with Vulkie. You can bed her all you like, but, she will be made to understand that I will always be apart of your life, as we share a son"

Clift sighed, and said, "I do not want Vulkie. Especially after doing what she did. I have nothing for that woman, before or after this happened.

Makensie really didnt care one way or the other, she really didn't. All she knew and cared about was that Vulkie was turned in to the police...and that was really the safest place for her right now.

***One Week Later***

Still in custody,Vulkie was getting annoyed by the fact that she hadn't seen daylight for 7 days. 7 days! She couldn't use any make-up,she was stripped of her clothes and shoes and got an old jail suit one (one with white and black stripes).

Vulkie already received visits from some friends,asking why she did this. Vulkie always gave the same answer. "Love is so traiterous. A person can't go without it and with it. It's like a period of insanity. You will do everything for the person you so care for,that you don't seem to have a feeling of reality..."

Suddenly,the guard came in with some food. "Here,eat!" the guard grunted and he threw the plate on the floor. As Vulkie stared at a wall,she said : "Not hungry". "Fine,suit yourself" the guard replied.

Knowing that she was safe in custody and far,far away from the person that "left" her broken and the person that Vulkie "shot down",she enjoyed it though. Vulkie always made a chat with the person next to her cell,a "serial killer" who didn't remember what he did.

"Well,I'll tell ya,I'm innocent. Well,that's what I say. But they won't believe me,not for a million years..." the man said.

Just then,the door of the cellblock opened and there walked a woman in,slowly "limping" to Vulkie's cell.

As the cell door opened,she saw who it was. It was... Makensie Brewer.

"Hi" Makensie bluntly said.

"Hi.." Vulkie replied with a soft voice.

"We need to talk..." Makensie said and she sat across Vulkie and began to talk...

Makensie still felt slight pain from the old gunshot wound , but, all in all, she was much stronger now.

Vulkie looked at Makensie, nervous a bit, because she didn't know what to expect.

"I'm sure that you are surprised to see me. Considering that you tried to kill me", Makensie said, with a coldness.

Vulkie, who was by no means a weakling, swallowed hard, put her chin up, and said, "Actually, I'm not. I think I would want to confront who shot me, but really, I was thinking I'd see Clift first"

"No, you were hoping. Let me tell you something about Clift. Since you don't really know him. What, you've known him forrrr....what....almost a month?", Makensie said, grinning with mockery.

"I know this much sound crazy...", Vulkie was saying, before Makensie cut her off.

"Sound crazy? It IS crazy. How can you claim to love a man, who've you known for just a month? How, Vulkie? Why would you resort to trying to kill someone, even if you would've known him longer? You are supposed to be a professional detective, taking scum off the streets, not be apart of the scum!", Makensie was saying, getting angry.

Continuing on, Makensie said, "You were very selfish. I have a 3 year old son. Clift AND I have a 3 year old son. Whether you wanted to kill him, or me, you would've took from MY son. Do you know what it's like to have a child, Vulkie?"

From the look on her face, it was obvious Vulkie didnt so, Makensie resumed talking, "You would do ANYTHING to protect him or her. You would put your own life down....you would KILL" Makensie leaned forward, toward Vulkie, in emphasis to that last statement.

Vulkie looked at Makensie, and didnt know what to say, so she remained quiet.

"I don't know what problem you are having, and quite frankly, I do not care but, it will be at your best interest, and safety, if you stayed away from ME, AND Clift Garrett. I didn't take anything from you, do you want to know why? You can't take away something that never belonged to you in the first place. So, for future reference, when you decide to have CASUAL SEX with a man, don't assume you are in an instant relationship, claiming to love him with all your heart. You also might want to think of who you are messing with before trying to kill someone"

Vulkie was close to tears, and she said, "I know you won't believe this, but, I am sorry for what I did. I'm not a killer, Makensie. I don't know what came over me....."

"Are you, Vulkie? Are you truly sorry? Are you sorry for almost taking an innocent child's parent away from him? I was told that you originally aimed for Clift, then changed your mind. So, Vulkie...if you TRULY loved him, then WHY would you want to hurt his son in that way? WHY would you want to end his life? ..and how did you ever think, that by trying to kill me, that would help you get Clift Garrett in your life? I will always be apart of his life, no matter who he chooses to be with. I am a priority in his life...as him and I have a history together, and we have a tie between us. OUR son. I don't think that I have to worry of the likes of YOU being in his life though. You pretty much ended that, the moment you chose to shoot me"

Makensie stood up, then said, "You are much safer in here, Vulkie. In the outside world, you will be looking over your shoulder daily. Also, if you ever try to hurt me, OR Clift Garrett....you won't be sitting in a jail cell. I'm sure you can guess what that means. I liked you in the beginning, until you decided to mess with my life, and those in it. Big mistake"

Makensie walked to the door, then turned to look at Vulkie one last time, "I meant every word I said"

With that, she left.

Vulkie stared at the closed door, knowing she did mean every word she said.

Regardless of what it was or wasn't with Clift, she still had a broke heart and knew that she ended anything good between her and Clift.

"Really though, what DID we have? He didn't really mention anything of love to me....", Vulkie was saying to herself. She grew angry, mixed with her hurt.

"How did I get into something liek this", she cried. As excited as she once was to meet Clift, she now regretted it.

As Makensie Brewer was painfully making her way down the steps of the county jail. She saw a old friend come walking up the steps.

" Charlie.....Charlie Cain is that you?" She asked.

" Mak...........Hey, How are you doing? I havent seen you in years." Charlie said.

" Me oh I've been better just finishing up some business here. What about you?" Mak asked.

" I'm just turning over the last peices of evidence on a case I just finished. Been real busy lately." Charlie replied with a smile.

"Where have you been Charlie I havent seen you in forever?" Mak asked

" I actually moved to London this towns got too much history for me. I'm only here for this case I'm working on. Then its back to merry ole London." Charlie said with a fake british accent.

Both friends laughed at that. " You know its great seeing you here, we should definately stay in contact more." said Mak.

" Well you might get more than you bargained for I was hired by a agency that is headquartered here. I might be stopping by more than you like. You had a son right? Charlie asked.

" I do his name is Cody, hes 3. I love it." Mak remarked smilling.

"Well Mak it was great seeing you but I really got to run. Lets see if we can meet up at the Tricky Mister later and catch up on old times. " Charlie said.

" Sure Charlie we can do that." stated Mak.

Mak finished her walk down the stairs and met her driver Georgio.

" Who was that Mak?" Georgio asked.

" That was Charlie Cain, he's a old friend." Mak said as they drove off down the road.

As she was going down the road, she thought of how nice it was to see Charlie. It's been YEARS, she was thinking.

Georgio watched Makensie in the rear view mirror. She looks tired, exhausted, he thought.

He continued driving, as he thought of Vulkie, and the nerve she had in intefering with Makensie's life.

Clift Garret. He always wondered why she wasted her time on that man. Why she even wanted him around, since he was just a part time Father was beyond him. It wasn't his business, of course. He was just the driver, and bodyguard for Makensie. A silent observer.

Violet Parr!!, Makensie said, as she sat up, craning her neck. "Stop the car, Georgio!"

He sighed, and pulled the car over.

Makensie quickly got out of the car, and ran up to her friend.

Georgio looked on, watching the people walk around town.

"Violet!! Oh my goodness! It is so great to see you!", Makensie said, hugging her friend.

Violet smiled big, and returned her hug. "Mak! Indeed, it is a great pleasure to see you. How is Cody doing?"

Makensie filled hr in on how he was, and everything that's happened up until now, as quickly as she could. However, she didn't tell her about the idea Clift had for her daughter. She felt it wasn't her place. Yet.

As they finished up talking, Violet said, "I really must get going, but very soon, we will do lunch. It'sbeen a long time"

"It is! I will be getting ahold of you soon", Makensie said, as she turned to walk back to the car.

"Two old friends in one day, Ive seen today", she said out loud. Makensie thinks, "I will take that as a good luck sign"

Getting in the car, Georgio said, "Violet Parr,was it?"

"Yes! How did you know?", Makensie said, shutting he door.

Georgio smiled, and said, "I wasn't ALWAYS a driver, Ms Brewer"

"Of course not", she said, chuckling.

They continued down the road, on the way to Makensie's Estate.
