"Good job, Shawn...I guess we don't need the girl no more..."
Nick doesn't get an answer.
"Jerk..."
He looks over to his two men, holding Abby, keeping her contained. "Kill her..."
A door slams opens, the light shines through, a shaded figure is seen...Nick squints his eyes trying to make out the person; the guards aim their guns at the man, leaving Abby behind them.
"Oh sure, you allow Shawn to kill him, but not me!?" Blake yells as he limps inside...
"Oh...it's you..."
"Yeah, thanks..."
"You let Jon go, and Shawn had to take care of him..."
"Which he wouldn't of had to do if...ah, forget it."
Nick looks over at the guards, and sees Abby is gone...
"Guards!"
They look back, and find Abby gone with an open door behind them.
They quickly run through the door, and about halfway down the hall, Nick says.
"Don't bother..."
The two men look back, confused.
Nick pulls out a pistol, and shoots at one of his men, sending a blast of green smoke in there, killing both men.
"...I'll do it myself..."
Nick walks down the hallway.
"Stay here, Blake."
Blake leans against the wall nearby some computers...
This was it...he had my girl, and I planned on getting her back...and killing the man who ruined my vacation, and killed my partner...
Jon budges open a jammed door...in front of him is a staircase, he runs up it, carrying the pistol. He finds himself in the middle of the coliseum.
"I don't get it, this was the way he went...I saw it..."
He looks around, seeing pillars, seats in the stands...greenery, dirt...but no sign of Nick...
He walks around the edges, to stay out of the open, he finds an open door, and he walks in, and sees Blake up against the wall...
"Oh it's you...YOU!!"
Jon points his gun to Blake before he can even move.
"I thought...I thought Shawn took care of you..."
"Yeah, well, things change..."
"For the worse apparently..."
"Where's Nick!?"
"Oh, he went after your pretty little gal pal."
"Which way?"
"Wouldn't you like to know...?"
Jon walks up to Blake and punches him in the face, Blake tries to punch back, but Jon sweeps his legs, hurting them even more.
He looks into the doorway ahead of him, and sees two dead men on the floor...
He runs up to them, and kneels down below to check their pulse
They had a pulse!
Jon flips one over to see a small bullet hole but, it had already clotted up.
"What?"
One of the men comes to consciousness...He gets up to see Jon kneeling down by his partner...Jon turns his face around...
The guard reaches for his weapon, but Jon punches him the face, knocking him out.
He quickly then continues down the hallway.
----Meanwhile----
Abby hides behind some boxes in a storage room, holding a crowbar...
Nick walks into the room...
"Abby?"
"I know you're here..."
"You can't escape me..."
He sees part of her hair behind the boxes...
"I built this hideout...Took me a while, but I know it like the back of my hand...even a storage room, and I know where your hiding, so why don't you just come out..."
He grabs the top of Abby's head, and pulls her up; she is trying to swing at him, but can't hit him from the way she is being held...she bangs over some boxes, and at the wall in front of her...
Jon here's the noise..."Abby..." He quickly runs in that direction.
"You're not very cooperative...I don't know what that guy sees in you..."
She knees him in the nuts
He quivers in pain, while still holding onto her...
"Now you're really pissing me off!
He grabs her and walks outside the storage room, which leads back out to the coliseum...
Jon quickly runs into the room, he sees boxes knocked over...a crowbar on the floor...and scratches and dents on the wall from where she was smacking...
He opens the door which heads back outside; he spots Nick holding Abby, heading back towards the weapons room...He follows him silently.
After moments, still outside, he is about ready to shoot Nick, he has the gun aimed, "One shot of this and..."
"Go ahead...shoot...those babies have enough blast radius to kill us both."
"Uh, damn nuclear pistol..."
He runs up behind him yelling, Nick turns around, and is shocked to see Jon who smacks him in the face with his fist. Abby falls down with Nick, Jon gets down to Abby and helps her up, she gets behind Jon...
"Abby, run..."
"But..."
"Run!"
She quickly runs away from the battle area...
"So...guess Shawn didn't have the will to finish you..."
"Once a cop, always a cop...there's no going over to your side..."
Jon slowly backs off of him, hoping to get some range between them. Nick finally gets up from the attack...
"Once I get you in my hands...I'm gonna torture you like I've never tortured anyone...and then I'm gonna kill the girl...right in front of you...or even better, torture her...quick kills are no fun, they..."
Jon shoots the gun; the bullet knocks Nick back against the wall.
"Don't even think about doing that to my girl."
He walks up to Nick, on the ground, there is blood smeared across the wall...blood starts to puddle up underneath him...but slowly turns from a dark red....to a greenish color..
"What the heck?"
Jon is suddenly swept of his feet by Nick. Jon falls to the ground, blood dripping on him from Nick who is staring right at him.
"How are you...?"
Nick looks at his blood, which is shining a green color...
"The nuclear pistol..." Jon thinks..."It's not a killer...it's a healer..."
He looks into the doorway, and sees two dead men on the floor...
He runs up to them, and kneels down below to check their pulse
They had a pulse!
Jon flips one over to see a small bullet hole but, it had already clotted up.
"What?"
"That explains the two men..."
Jon rolls over, and gets up, all dusty and dirty...
"Looks like your weapons aren't exactly what you wanted..."
"I don't need weapons to finish you off."
Nick charges at Jon, full speed...
Jon flies back, he felt like he was hit by a train!
He gets slammed into one of the pillars, which shook when he hit it.
Nick holds Jon against the wall, he aims for the face, Jon dodges, and suddenly there is a big dent in the pillar...
"Looks like my weapons were exactly what I wanted....power."
"Crap..."
Jon punches him on the left side of his face, and then the right...It phased him, but didn't do any major damage...
Nick head butts him, and Jon gets knocked out of it, and Nick lets him fall to the ground...He puts his foot on his back, so he can't get up...
Jon lays helpless on the ground.
Abby watches from afar, in tears of what has happened...
Nick grabs Jon's jacket collar, and throws him into another pillar, the one that Abby was hiding behind.
Abby kneels down by him; Nick cracks his neck and walks toward them, slowly.
"Jon, please wake up..."
She looks back, Nick is approaching closer...
He grabs Abby's shoulder, and tosses her to the ground; he grabs Jon, who is slowly coming to.
"Yeah, wake up!"
He smacks him face first against the pillar, holds his elbow against it, and pulls his forearm back, breaking it.
Jon screams in the horrific pain.
"You haven't even put up a fight yet."
Jon falls to the ground...
"A pity...I thought you'd be so much more of a challenge."
Jon sweeps his legs across Nick's, but he doesn't budge him.
Nick chuckles, he grabs Jon by the neck, and starts to choke him...Jon gasps for air...
Abby looks up to see him losing...she is lying helpless on the ground...a tear falls down the side of her face.
In the last moments of Jon's life, a gunshot is heard.
Time stops suddenly for everyone...
Blood starts seeping out of the right side of his head, he drops Jon to the ground, which starts coughing, and trying to breathe in more air.
Nick feels the blood on his head, which is transferred to his fingers...it was a bright green...but started to lose its luster, as his darkened.
Nick falls to his knees, and then...to his death.
Jon finally catches his breath; Abby slowly gets up, and crawls over to Jon.
"You came for me..."
"Of course I did...I'd never let anything happen to you."
Abby hugs Jon, and Jon helps her up...keeping his arm as still as possible.
They look ahead of them and standing there, with a pistol in his hand...is Shawn.
Jon smiles.
They walk and meet each other.
"Guess I got here just in time."
"Does this mean we're cool?"
Shawn stands there...he reaches out his hand, and smiles...
Jon reaches out and shakes his hand.
"You know it bro..."
----One week later----
Back in New York, in the NYSO, Jon sits inside his office, his arm is in a cast; he is looking at a picture of him and Brad. Sadness overcomes his face...
A knock is heard on his door...Shawn comes in....Jon puts the picture back down.
"Hey, Jonathan..."
"Hey Shawn...did you get accepted again?"
"Yeah, they just thought I was lost for 3 years..."
"...yeah..."
"Why didn't you tell them?"
"Tell them..."
"What I did...joining Nick's crew, trying to kill you..."
"Because you're my partner, and you always will be...even if we aren't assigned with each other."
Shawn smiles...
"By the way...what made you change your mind?"
Shawn just chuckles, and leans against the wall.
"I just decided to looks at things from your point of view..."
"And that's all you needed?"
"I'm never going to truly know what happened in there...from what I saw at first, it looked like you ditched me...but I thought over what you said....I decided that...you really were my partner...and you'd never do that to me on purpose...and no matter what I saw, or felt, I had to trust that you were telling me the truth...I couldn't work with him anyway...once a cop, always a cop, there's no going over to their side...It's like my calling."
"I love you man..."
"You too brother..."
Shawn is about to leave, he opens the door..."Oh, Jon, I want to show you something..."
He calls someone over...
"What is it?"
Walking through the door is a beautiful brunette, blonde streak in her hair, holding some papers...
"Jon, this is Crystal, my new partner..."
Jon shakes her hand, and behind him Shawn is giving him a giddy look.
"Hi Crystal, nice to meet you..."
"Nice to meet you too, I'm sorry, but I have tons of work to do, I'll talk to you two later..."
She leaves..."Isn't she mega hot!"
Shawn says...
"Oh yeah..." Jon replies...
"You know I think she might be into me..."
"Yeah, maybe..."
"Well, I have to go; I'll catch up with you sometime."
"Yeah...see ya."
Shawn leaves and closes the door...
Jon turns his seat around to look out the window....
After discovering that the nuclear substance actually improved the body, and healed them of all wounds, we wondered if maybe they could be used in the medical field somehow...but afterwards decided that ...the super strength it gave them was something that shouldn't be unveiled to the world....we destroyed Nick's hideout, and every last weapon...We also went back to the garbage bin to get Brad...but he wasn't there ...Wherever he is, I hope he's okay...It ain't like him to hide out this long. What I am glad for though, is that we all made it out alive....I got a dear friend of mine back...and I get to spend my life, with the most beautiful girl in the world.
He pulls out an engagement ring box...and looks at the ring...
He then looks at another picture of him and Abby on his desk.
"Soon..." he says again.
----Meanwhile----
In a graveyard back in Italy, Blake stands in the pouring rain and thunder, and stands before Nick's tombstone...
"I swear, I will do everything in my power to kill the men who did this to you..."
"Goodbye....my brother..."
