Mike then says, "I could kill that bitch". Grey shakes his head and says, "I know but she's in my custody. She's under my protection now". They walk back upstairs where they see her again. She looks at Grey and says, "They beat", she gasps for air and shakes her head, "they breathed". Grey smiles at her, knowing what's going on. Finally she says, "They breathed the shit out of me", very slurred. Mike laughs and says, "Man she's slurred". Grey laughs and sits her in a chair because she's sliding everywhere while talking trying to stand up. Grey after sitting her in the chair and balancing her he laughs again then says, "You're going to sue them for them defending their kids"? She slurs something they can't understand. Grey shakes his head. Then motions to follow him as he's leaves. As their leaving Grey puts his hand in the air and counting with his fingers as he says, "Three. Two. One". Just then Beverly falls face first onto the floor. Mike looks at him as their leaving and says, "Why did you put her up in the chair if you knew she was going to fall"? Grey smiles and says, "Hey cops can have fun to". They step outside and close the door. Outside Grey looks at Mike and says, "That wasn't illegal". Mike nods smiling and says, "Yeah I have fun pissing you off". Grey frowns at him. They hear sirens racing towards them Grey smiles and says, "Here come the Cavalry". He laughs to himself Mike just looks at him weird A few minutes later the cops show up there's three cars. One man Mike only assumes is the lieutenant walks up to Grey. Who just motions his head to the door and says, "She's inside". The mayor who steps out from inside and walks over to them and says, "Well thank you guys. I feel pretty confident that I'll get the seat". He sighs then continues, "She spilled the beans to me about my competitor Jim Holiday. He was trying to get proof that the club is harmful to kids that they're still getting raped here. So he paid her knowing that with her long rap sheet she'd do anything for a buck. He told her to seduce a bunch of kids make it look like a member raped all of them". He smiles big and says, "But thanks to you Grey she failed". Grey nods and says, "Thanks I see this kind of stuff all the time. Though it's usually some drug dealer trying to blackmail a former client to pay back some debt". Mike fills in, "Or a snitch". The mayor shakes his head, "No those they kill". Grey nods agreeing. Mike looks around and says, "So what now"? Just then the cops walk out with Beverly in custody she looks at them and yell, "Pervert". The three ignore her not knowing which one she's talking about. That's when Samantha and Kim step out both with groggy looks and says, "Sorry" to each Mike and Gray. Who smiles and pats their partner on the back. The mayor smiles and says, "Well I figure you guys need to get them home I'll let you go thanks for the help". He shakes each of their hands and gives both the girls a kiss on the cheek, then leaves. Mike looks at Grey who is looking down at Kim longingly and says, "Well you're a cop, Gray. So why don't you take her home. I'll see that Sam's family knows. I'll call them on the way home". Gray nods but says, "Call before you leave or when you get home. It's against the law to call while driving". Mike smirks knowing he's doing his job so he says, "Well I can let Sam drive while I call". He smiles at him. Grey just smirks again and says, "Yeah let a twelve year old drive a car that's legal". Samantha gets excited though thinking she's going to drive. Though she's still sleepy. Mike smiles and says, "Well I figure her parents want to know where she is so I'll let her call". Gray shakes his head and says, "No she's still affected by the drugs you better". Mike defeated nods and picks up his phone. After a couple of rings her mom picks up and says, "Hello. Oh God please tell me Samantha's ok don't let this be that call". Mike keeps opening his mouth to answer but she keeps talking, "Oh God where is she. She didn't get hurt did she"? She pauses for a second then says, "Oh wait who is this"? Mike quickly takes the break to say "I'm Mike Sam's fine she'll be at my house in ten, be there". Then hangs up before she can reply. Gray hangs up his phone also and looks at Kim and says, "Maybe saying this is Officer Litten was a bad idea your mom freaked". Kim just laughs lazily. They go to their cars and gets in. Mike hears Kim say can we use the sirens again"? He's answered with a laugh and says, "No your parents are already scared to death. If they're at my house and hear the sirens they'll freak". Kim nods then sits down. Soon after she's seated her head falls to the side. Mike looks at Samantha who's also passed out. He sees Gray fasten her seat belt then starts the cruiser and leaves. Mike leaves also.
