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…

***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.

They pulled in the drive, that looped around in front of Makensie's house, and noticed a vehicle sitting there. Clift's vehicle.

Makensie sighed, and said, "I'm really not in the mood for anymore hub-bub. I'm tired"

"Do you want me to get rid of him?", Georgio said.

"No, that is fine. He won't listen anyway", she said, walking toward the house.

A thought came to Georgio, as he walked behind Makensie. Thinking to himself, 'I know where I've heard Charlie Cane's name. From Clift Garret himself. He couldn't remember though, if those two had bad blood between them, or were old friends'

They walked inside, to see Clift sitting on the floor, playing with Cody.

"Really, Clift. I really don't want company. I'm tired, and would like to take a nap", Makensie said, throwing her purse down on a chair.

"Oh, I'm company now, am I?", Clift said, standing up. "Don't worry, I just stopped in to see how you were.....and to see how your visit went with Vulkie"

"It was a blast", she said, dryly.

Makensie could tell there was something else Clift had on his mind, so she sat down, looked at him, and waited.

"Well.. that much is expected, Mak..." Clift could not explain Victoria's or Vulkie's actions even to himself and what will always be confusing to him. "I got Cody this."

He took out a huge toy car, knowing how much Cody loved car models.

That made Makensie smile. She always loved it when someone did something nice for Cody, and she knew that Clift compensated not spending enough time with his son with gifts.

Makensie spoke. "Well that is sweet."

"...and these are for you..." Clift gave her a bouqet of red roses.

"Thank you." Makensie said but did not comment further. Claudia came and took the flowers from Mak. Clift noticed Georgio standing there eyeing him. Georgio always made him uncomfortable, but Mak liked him well enough and so did Cody, and that was enough for Clift.

"Violet is in town." Clift spoke.

"I know, I just met her and it was wonderful..." Mak smiled. "Did you see her?"

"Yes. I went to meet her in the hotel she is staying at, The Broadway Plaza. I wanted to talk about Isabella... if I see Cody so very little, I see Isabella even less..."

"Oh? and did you tell her of your little proposition?"

"No... I'm rethinking that a little... I don't want that to end in disaster. Anyways I just stopped by to give you this and tell you I am sorry again for having involved you so deeply in my... personal life."

Mak wasn't too happy about hearing that Clift had a personal life separate from her. She longed to be his personal life.

"Anyhow, I gotta go. I'm meeting an old friend for dinner. Charlie Cain."

Mak wondered, does everyone know everyone else in this town. "Charlie? He's an old friend of mine too..."

"Well, you can join us for dinner this case."

Georgio finally spoke. "I'll escort you Mak, just to make sure your safe."

Clift raised an eyebrow. "Well, she's perfectly safe with me, I am a detective don't you remember?"

"Detective turned actor. But she wasn't safe the last time was she?"

"I see your point Georgio... Fine you can come." Clift said as he walked to the door and then he said over his shoulders. "... and by the way, I am an actor turned detective turned actor... an actor originally."

He nodded to Mak. "I'll see you at dinner with Charlie. We're meeting at the 21 Club."

Mak spoke weakly as she was very tired. "I will try to make it but can't promise anything."

With that Clift left deep in thought.

Clift and Charlie met at the 21 Club, and as they both greeted one another and took their seat, they saw Georgio come in.

Clift looked at him, wondering where Mak was at. Remembering how she always had to go to the restroom before they sat down, he decided that was probably where she was at.

"Good evening, Georgio. So glad you could make it", Clift said, dryly.

Georgio smiled, with no friendliness in at all, and said, "I know how excited you were to have me in your presence, while eating but, I only came here to give you some unfortunate news. Fortunate to some, though, ofcourse" He added a cocky smile.

Clift frowned, then said, "What is it? Makensie get a run in her nylons?"

Charlie grinned, and said, "Oh, Makensie is joining us, is she? How wonderful!"

Georgio nods, then says, "She WAS going to join you. She wasn't feeling well, as shewas getting ready, and decided to just go to bed and get some rest. She asked if she could take a rain check"

"Well, of course! I DO hope she is ok. I will check in on her on the way home", Clift said, with concern.

Georgio replied, "That won't be necessary, Mr Garret. I'm sleeping in the Guest House, but Im sure she will be quite alright, with a good nights rest"

Charlie didn't know what was going on, with the latest events concerning Makensie and the shooting, so he said, "Why such concern? I mean, we all get exhausted running up and down the streets looking for bad guys"

Clift looked at Charlie, then said, "I will fill you in later"

Looking to Georgio, he said, in an adament tone, "I will stop by on the way home"

"...and interrupt Makensie's sleep? ...and here I thought you were a compassionate man, Mr Garret", Georgio said, with a slight smirk.

Sighing, Clift said, "Very well, then. YOU win. THIS time, but if anything goes on with Makensie, that needs medical attention, you CALL me. Immediately"

"Oh of course. Who else would I call?", Georgio said, rolling his eyes.
