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…

(sorry for the I-stuff. It's meant to be third person,but I'm currently writing for 2 stories... -.-)

Clift felt the impact of bullet against Mak's left shoulder as her body shook violently against his and as she fell to the ground screaming in pain. He quickly took her in his arms and was horrified to see so much blood gushing out of the bullet wound in her shoulder and soaking her beautiful evening dress.

"Mak are you okay? Makensie can you hear me?" He started to shout out loud. "We need some help here!"

Mak opened her eyes for a few seconds. "Cody..." She said. "Clift, go get Cody, make sure he's okay..."

"Don't be silly Mak, he's just fine!" Clift suddenly looked around to see where the bullet came from and saw a woman standing in the shadows seemingly dazed and confused. The woman quickly got into her car and drove away before Clift could recognize her.

Mak had fainted by then and was still bleeding very heavily. The bullet had pierced through her shoulder and went right into the window of a ground floor apartment.

'The revolver used must be a very strong piece,' Clift thought. He could not stand by watching Mak bleed any longer. He carried and got into a cab real quick and drove to the hospital.

Once he checked Mak in and made sure she going to be well taken care of his thoughts went to Cody and to the attacker. He eventually decided to go to Cody first, knowing that Cody would be shocked when he woke up the next morning and his mommy wasn't there.

Makensie was still very groggy when she awoke. 'That must've been some night I had.....', she was thinking, until she focused on her surroundings.

She started to jump up but the piercing pain in her shoulder made her sit back quickly.

"Relax ,Ms Brewer", a male voice said.

Her driver, Georgio.

"What am I doing in here?", Makensie said, a bit confusd.

Georgio said, "Well between being a little tipsy, and the pain you suffered, no wonder you dont remember. You were shot in the shoulder, as you and Clift were getting out."

Makensie's thughts went to her son, "CODY!"

"Now,now, just relax. Clift went to him lastnight, and he should be her with him very soon"

Makensie put her head back on the pillow, and said, "Who would want to do this?"

Georgio said, "I'm no detective, but, doesn't take a genius to figure this out"

He handed her a note, and as he handed it to her, he was saying, "Apparently, Clift made someone very jealous. I found this on the curb, where the car was. The direction of where the shooter was at"

"Vulkie??? Why, she is supposed to be a professional! ..and why would she be so upset? A relationship??? I hardly call one romp in the bed, a relationship. They just met..and they have no history with each other. Why on EARTH would she be THIS upset? Is she some kind of maniac?"

Georgio shook is head in thought, and said, "Sounds like it"

Makensie's ruthless side started to come out, and she said, "Well, I tell you what...no woman is going to act like that and get away with it. Clift is the Father of MY son....we have a history together, unlike HER, and she will pay for what she did to me"

As she said that, she heard, "MOMMY!!!!"

Cody came running in, jumping in her arms, causing Makensie to wince in pain.

"Hold up there, slugger. Mommy is in great pain right now", Clift said, behind him.

Clift walked up, caressed Makensie's face, and said, "Are you doing ok?"

"i'm fine, I guess",Makensie said.

Clift looked at Georgio, and he knew what that meant.

"Come on, Cody, ol buddy..lets go out tothe lobby. I will buy you something to drink", Georgio said, holding out his hand for Cody to grab. He winked at Makensie, and stepped out.

Clift looked down at Makensie, and said, "I dont know what I'd have done, had I lost you. Whoever the bastard is, who did this...he will pay"

Makensie handed the note to Clift. "Its a she...and if you dont get to her, I will"

"Vulkie??, Clift said, in shock. "Whu would SHE do this? I barely know her. A relationship?"

Dryly, Makensie said, "Apparently she thinks one romp in the bed makes the thing a RELATINSHIP"

Clift's face turned beat red, with anger. Him and Makensie may not be committed but, she is the MOther of his son, and he still holds her very special, and NOONE messes with that. As the Mother of his son, he feels it is his responsibility to keepher safe at all times, no matter what.

Makensie knew that look in his eye. The look of rage.

"Are you going to be ok? I believe I have some business to take care. Vulkie will pay for this, one way or another. Her and I never had a relationship, and her doing this to you just proves how unstable she is, and how dilusional (sp.) she is. Noone is going to take you away from me....EVER", Clift said, as he stormed out the door, on a mission.

Makensie doesnt think that he meant to say those last few words, but, he was very upset at what happened. Worried at how close it was for Makensie being killed, and very angry at the person who did it.

She turned to the window, as Georgio cae back in to watch over her. He not only was her driver, he was professionally trained hitman. Retired ofcourse, but, he was trained to kill, which was why he was also Makensie's bodyguard. He was ruthless, and that is why she liked him so.

Georgio interrupted her thoughts, saying, "I know that look. I used to have that same look of evil, when I wnted after someone"

She looked at Georgio, then said, "What if Cody would've been there? What if that bullett would've hit Clift? Or hit me in a spot that would've killed me? Cody would be out of a parent. NOONE interfers like that, and gets away with it"

Georgio said, "Maybe Vulkie had a brief moment of insanity, and she just..."

Snapping, with fire in her eyes, she said, "I dont give a DAMN what she was going through. She was just a bed buddy for one night, and she has the right to act in an inconsiderate way? Oh no no no...if Clift doesnt take care of this...I will"

Makensie started shaking violently, in great pain. She heard Georgio holler for the Nurse, then something about getting in contact with Clift, then she was out cold.

Clift knocked the door upon Vulkie's apartment.

After a few more knocks he kicked the door open and walked in angrily to see Victoria huddled in a corner crying. He mellowed slightly. His weakness was a damsel in distress.

Clift walked over to Vulkie and sat next to her and started speaking. "Vulkie, is it true? Did you shoot Makensie in the back because you thought she was trying to steal me from you."

Vulkie turned to him with watery eyes. "I love you, Clift Garrett... I cannot stand the thought of you being with that woman..."

Clift held Vulkie's hand and calmed her down. He realized that Vulkie was too vulnerable to be any danger or threat of any kind and he was not sure that it was her who shot Mak.

Clift spoke to her gently. "Sweetie, it is okay. People have feelings sometimes that are over powering. I know that... we all have been in love once."

"Thanks, Clift... I really feel lost right now."

Clift held Vulkie's hands and looked into her eyes. "I need you to tell me if you actually shot Mak. Was it you? If so, why did you do what you did?"

Oct-20-2009 10:29

"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...

Oct-20-2009 12:28

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*

Oct-20-2009 12:39

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"

*more*

Oct-20-2009 12:46

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.
