Peter and The Grand Finale...Part 2

Picking up right where we left off inside Peter's apartment. Cade has his hands like a vice around Peter's neck, squeezing tighter and tighter, rage fueling him Peter hacks and gasps as he tries to fight back but the lack of oxygen is making him weaker. Smoking all that pot is not coming in too handy now, his lungs are on fire, screaming at him for a hit of oxygen.

*Peter* "ACK..ack...GASP!...ACK!...gasp..."
*Cade* "Just give up Morissey...no one is coming to save you now!..."
Peter's eyes begin to roll back and Cade knows that look, this is not the first time he has choked the life out of someone, but that's another story...Peter tries to respond, and hopes to hell that Luke shows up to save the day.

*Peter* "Lu...ack!..gasp... Nnnn...gasp...ack..."
*Cade* "What?! Speak up Morissey I can't hear you!..."
Then Cade smiles the most evil grin Peter has ever seen. It's pure sadistic satisfaction, the crazy on his face spreading like wildfire and coming out with an evil laugh. A laugh so deep it vibrates down his arms, through his fingers and clenches tighter around Peter's throat.

*Cade* "You have no idea how happy this makes me, Morissey...."
Cade is so focused on only him and Peter in the room that he does not hear the light brush of fabric on fabric, as Shelby-Lynn comes out from behind the wall! She crawls on all fours towards the gun that is lying on the carpet before her.

 Cade meanwhile has nearly choked the life out of Peter, who kicks out some but is too weak to do anything else. Cade is strong, Luke was right, Peter underestimated how strong he is. Where are ya man?! Where the fuck is Luke?! Peter was so sure he would have come busting through the door already...

Shelby-Lynn creeps cautiously and quietly, her eyes focused on the gun. No way is she gonna let some crazy person take him away from her! Peter needs her now more than ever!

 She carefully picks it up, it's heavier than she thought it would be. Gripping it with both hands, she begins to raise the gun up...Her knees wobble a bit as she moves to stand.

 Shelby-Lynn takes a deep breath, she is shaking with fear and adrenaline. Peter will surely leave that other woman if she saves his life. No doubt he will fall in love with her for saving him...So, she has to save him. She has to!

Shelby is about to shout at Cade to get off of her man!
When suddenly the door swings open, Luke is shouting for Peter, having no idea what is going on. He pauses in shock in the doorway...

Shelby-Lynn panics and the gun goes off, and Luke flies back hitting the door. A crimson red line slides down and saturates his tattooed arm. All these moments flash by like the second hand on clock face...

Luke groans, his shoulder hot, the pain is intense...
Shelby is in shock at what she just did, gasping as she drops the gun her hands go flying up to her gaping mouth. Shocked and horrified.

 Cade is the only one aware of all that is going on. Peter is so weak it will take him more time to recover than it will take Cade to take control of the situation. He turns and grabs the gun, annoyed as to where the hell this girl came from?! No matter he thinks, she can not leave here alive.
 

And without a single hesitation Cade pulls the trigger, Shelby-Lynn's whole body flies back from the point blank shot to the forehead. The poor girl never saw it coming....Peter sits up barely having any voice at all he cries out...

*Peter raspy* "Nnnoooo!...."

 Then instinctively both Luke and Peter charge Cade. Separately they are too wounded to fight him but together there is hope. This son of bitch needs to go down!

Peter goes low for Cade's center of gravity tilting his shoulders busting right into his rib cage.
Luke focuses on knocking the gun out of Cade's grasp.

Peter grunts as he uses all his energy to take Cade down to the floor with him. Cade rocks back trying to fight this take over, he mentally scowls at himself, he may have jumped the gun too soon on revealing himself to Peter...

*Luke* "Your reign of terror is over Cade!..."
As the guys pin Cade down, a lifeless Shelby-Lynn lays where she fell to the floor. She did save Peter but it cost her, her life. Poor Shelby-Lynn, while she was not completely innocent, she did not deserve this tragic end.

Cade hits the floor with a hard thud, his chest deflates from the weight of the two men on him. Luke and Peter takes this as an opportunity to gain full control over Cade, making sure he cannot get up.
*Cade* "Ugnh!...."

*Peter* "Dont fuckin' move..."
*Luke* "Like I said before, we are not sick twisted fucks like you!
Cade finally regains his voice and looks at them both through his sunglasses, which are shifted halfway off his face.

*Cade* "Get the fuck off me!...fight me like a man Morissey! At lease Cooper had
the balls to go toe to toe...We all know who won that cock fight!..."
*Peter* "Fuck you!..."
Peter pulls his arm back in the heat of anger
then lets it fly across Cade's face. Hitting him so hard you 
can almost hear the crack of bone on bone.

Peter is angry, he is still not sure Cade was the one who attacked Willow, but he did just kill a young seemingly innocent girl. Just because she was in his way...Shelby did not deserve that. He swings again and again continuing to hit Cade until his knuckles bleed and ache.

Cade is surely a bit out of it now after receiving a rightful pummeling. The years have added way too much hate, anger, and extreme loathing between this trio. Too much history, bad history...The kind that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Peter leans back and catches his breath, Luke pulls up to a standing position, with his foot down on Cade's right arm. He does not trust Cade, not one bit...

*Peter* "Shit...Mother fucker!!..."
*Luke* "Feel better?..."
*Peter* "Fuck ya, I do!..but..."
Then Cade starts to moan, he was only unconscious for a moment. Luke presses his boot into Cade's upper arm, slowly leaning 
all his weight into it.

*Luke* "Don't fucking move...or snap your shoulder..."
Cade only groans he is still a bit off. Peter layed into him good.
*Peter* "I think I may have some rope we could tie him up. I'm sure the
cops are on their way by now..."
But before the two can make a decision, James and Hayden come guns outstretched before them, eyes wide and attentive, bodies primed for action. They both shout out as they see Luke and Peter standing there in the living room of the apartment.

*Hayden* "I need y'all to step away...Hands up guys."
Peter instinctively lets his hands fly up and Luke turns to address the two detectives, he can't raise his right arm because of the gunshot wound. He is doing his best to not focus on the pain, at the moment adrenaline still pulsing through his body.

*Luke* "I can't I've been shot in the arm, and there is a gun on the floor here with Cade's
fingerprints all over it. So I'm not moving my foot off this fucker till you cuff him...Last thing we need is for him to take someone else out"
Hayden and James quickly nod in agreement with each other, then cautiously make their way over. Noticing Shelby's body as they walk. Peter whispers to Luke...

*Peter* "Shit, never have I ever been so fucking happy to see the cops..."
Luke chuckles but stops, just smiles instead. Hurts too damn
 much to move the pain in his arm is getting worse now..
Once Hayden and James reach where Cade is laying, Luke steps back and away. James commands Cade put his hands up

*James* "Let's go, hands up and don't even try anything..."
Hayden keeps his weapon out and pointed at Cade while 
James slaps the cuffs on him.

*Peter* "Hey man, you okay? You're starting to look like shit..."
*Luke* "I feel like shit...the pain is getting worse..."
James and Hayden get Cade up on his feet and begin to 
read him his rights.

*Hayden* " You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used 
against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford 
an attorney, one will be provided for you..."

 *Cade* "I know what my fucking rights are..."
Hayden finally holsters his gun while he 
responds back to Cade.

 *Hayden* "Oh I'm sure you do...but I still gotta remind you...You just made a whole lotta peoples day by getting caught...haul this lowlife away James. The scales of justice have prevailed
today, this is the end of the line for you."

 James pulls back and clenches are hard the cuffs that are digging into Cade's wrists, then forcibly turns him to walk out the door with him. Hayden begins to follow, he wants to secure Cade first before they move on.

 *Peter* "What the fuck man?! Luke needs medical attention..."
Luke tries to wave his hand off like he is okay. He too wants Cade locked away where he can never see the light of day again. 

*Luke* "I'm fucking fine...It's worse than it looks."
*Hayden* "The EMS is on the way...You sure you're good?.."
*Luke* "A few more minutes is not gonna make a difference."
*Hayden* "Okay...As soon as I get Cade secure we will need to
 get your statements. I have CSU coming up too..."
Peter is stunned by Hayden's lack of concern.

 *Peter* "He needs to go to the fucking hospital not get questioned!.."
*Hayden* "Peter, I know you do not like it but it is what it is. As soon as they get here
they will take care of Luke and take him to the hospital..."
*Peter* "I want to go with him...I'm not fucking sticking around to be detained
for hours and hours this time!..."

 *Hayden agrees* "Okay, okay...I understand, It's fine I ain't got no problem with that.
Besides, I'm sure you're anxious to go see Willow now that she is awake...."
 Peter stops Hayden mid sentence.

 *Peter* "Willow's awake?!..."
*Hayden* "Yeah, she woke about less than an hour ago. Jennifer is on her way there
 to question her now. I'll have her talk to you two while she's there."
 Then Hayden follows James and Cade down to 
the squad cars waiting below.

 *Peter with relief* "She's fucking awake man!..."
*Luke smiles* "That's great, I'm happy for you. And I'm glad we caught her attacker. I'm sure she will be relieved to know Cade is now behind bars..." 

 Peter scratches his head and looks down at Shelby-Lynn's body. He hated the fact that she was stalking him but she did 
not deserve to die...Luke looks down at her with deep sorrow.

*Luke* "Poor girl, she is young. Cade is a fucking animal..."
*Peter* "I know, I confronted Cade about him attacking Willow, and
uh...I don't think it was him."
Luke steps out and away from the doorway he was leaning against. Now shocked to hear this news, Hayden seemed so sure that 
Cade had to be the one who attacked her.

*Luke* "What the fuck?! I thought it was Cade...You think it was her?!..."
 *Peter* "I don't fucking know! She showed up outta no where and saved my ass. I was beginning to believe it was Cade too, but when I asked him straight out he did not know what I was referring to..."

*Luke* "But Hayden said that who ever did it was a taller than Willow, bigger, stronger...
They totally ruled out her being a suspect..."
*Peter* "I know!...The only other suspects were me and...."
Then Peter's eyes go wide as he realizes who 
really is Willow's attacker. Luke is looking paler, 
maybe that wound is as bad as it looks.

 *Luke* "What?!...Oh...OH!...You mean..."
*Peter* "Yes! Pencil Dick!!.."
But Luke looks like he is about to topple over, Peter quickly gets around him and helps him walk to the door, he can hear another siren wailing, the EMS must be here now.

 *Peter* "We gotta get you to the hospital...Laura is gonna have my fucking hide...
But at least we stopped Cade..."
*Luke with slurred enthusiasm* "Shhiit!...Fuckin' A!..."
*Peter smiles* "Fuckin' A..."
