Hope to hear some comments from some of you! No one in this story belong to me, I'm just borrowing them and they will be returned better than ever. Enjoy! "Let's Try this One Again" by: Marie (MidKnight) December 7, 1996 Part 1 -------------------- ( 96th Precinct ) Detective Tracy Vetter thought to herself. Tracy neared the man, who was backed into a corner. He was facing her, but because she was behind the lockers and shelves, he couldn't see her. Suddenly, Nick appeared in the locker room and he started to whammy the guy into putting his gun down. Tracy appeared out from behind the lockers, which knocked the guy out of his trance. "No!" the man shouted and raised his gun, firing a bullet into Nick before Nick lifted the guy of the ground by his neck. Two more bullets were shot into Nick, but they didn't phase him. Nick, being a little more than just upset, vamped out, eyes and all. He threw the madman to the floor, snapping his neck. Nick turned to face Tracy, his eyes still green, his teeth still bared, and extended. "Trace, I..." Nick's words were cut short when he noticed that she was sliding down the wall and a trail of blood following her,"Trace!" Nick said as he caught her in his arms before she hit the floor. He looked her over and noticed a bullet had gone through or missed him and had hit her instead, right through the abdomen. Grabbing one of the nearby clean towels, Nick put it over the bullet wound to stop the blood. "You..." Tracy sruggled to talk, as she gasped for air, but blood gurrgled her voice,"You could hav..have trust..trusted me." When she was able to manage finishing the sentence, she went unconscious. "Help! We need help in here!" Nick shouted at the top of his lungs. He also added quietly to Tracy, "You stay with me, Trace, I'm not going to lose another friend and partner." ********** End part 1. There's much more to come!
