It took about an hour until we finally arrived at my condo due to the horrendous L.A. traffic. Traffic  was backed up to the downtown interchange bumper to bumper followed by the occasional "Fuck You Asshole!!' Shouts from angry drivers by this time of course Lauren was sound asleep in the passenger seat, her mouth slightly open I watched as her shallow breaths made her body rise and "are we here" she asked as she cleared her throat subtly her voice raspier than ever she looked around as if trying to familiarize herself with the area."Yeah i'm sorry I didn't want you top wake up I just need to grab a few things you can come in if you want" I replied with a half smile. Almost without any hesitation she unhinged her seat belt and exited the car  she walked around to my side but I was halfway to the door about to unlock it when I felt a soft hand grab mine. I glanced down only to see those striking green eyes staring up at me I used my free hand to fumble with the keys to unlock the front door. I opened the door and walked in before Lauren the apartment was still and quiet with the faint smell of cinnamon and cigars the same smell that I remembered at the bar  I said as I made my way down the hallway to my room I managed to grab a few things and a weeks worth of changing clothes and headed back down to the living room. As I entered the living room I noticed Lauren was holding a family portrait of me when I was 5 and my parents. I felt a bit uneasy she turned to me holding the picture with a raised brow "this you?" she asked I nodded "Your parents?" she asked with her eyebrow still raised. I nodded once again but I didn't say anything. I watched quietly as Lauren scanned the her eyes over the photo "Um, we should get going" I said instantly breaking her out of the trance that she was in. We got back into the car and headed to the mall, the ride there was quiet apart from the tunes playing on the radio. I stole quick glances of Lauren and noticed that how she peered of the window with her eyes slightly squinted due to the amount of wind flowing in. After about 30 mins of driving and dodging heavy traffic, we finally pulled into a parking space I placed the car in park and just as I was about to open my door Lauren stopped me as she gently took my hand I stared into her eyes waiting for her to say something. "Are you OK?" I found it odd that she would ask me that question I was fine or so I thought. 

*Time Forward*

We were about an hour into Lauren's shopping spree when I found her happily pulling me into an America Eagle Apparel Store. I was holding my bladder for a while until I had to release myself. I quickly excused myself from Lauren and made a B line for the restroom

"Narrator's POV"

Lauren scoped through Isles trying on a few sets of cut off shirts,tanks,tees and other things that brought out her very feminine and curvy shape, Just then she felt a hand around her mouth and someone strong pulling her into a dressing room "Shut the fuck up of i'll slick your fucking throat you psycho bitch"  Lauren's eyes flicked to the mirror where she was met face to face with the guy that she had brought home the same night that Fallon had come to  start her assignment  "Now princess we are going to stay here until you tell me where the fuck my brother is! or your sweet little ass is mine " he whispered harshly in her hear as his hands found their way to her butt he followed with a firm grip. she could smell the strong stench of alcohol on his breath. With his hand still firmly on Lauren's mouth, Lauren attempts to scream but her screams were muffled by his grip "scream all you want you fuckin' cunt of a lover that cop yeah didn't think I knew about her huh, I wonder how she'll feel if she knew that you were a psychopathic bitch!  she exclaimed as he thrust himself into her. At that moment Lauren ripped into his hand with her teeth causing him to cry out in agony therefore releasing her. Lauren ran out of the dressing room screaming bloody murder just as Fallon was re-entering the store.

(Fallon's POV)

I re-entered the store and glanced down at my watch only to look up and see Lauren running towards me screaming, I noticed that her once perfect clothes where now ripped and tears filled and also flowed down her eyes. When she reached me she latched onto me  screaming "he's here! he's Fucking here!" she screamed while trying to catch her breath her voice becoming more of a horse whisper than a scream. I looked at her with the face of pure confusion "Lauren what happened?! Who's here!"   Just then an angry male's voice cut in  "You fucking bitch I am bleeding!!" I glanced up and noticed a tall,lanky, dark haired guy walking hastily towards us holding his hand as it bled profusely onto the faux wood flooring of the store. After recognizing exactly who the guy was, I automatically threw Lauren behind me ,unhooked my  Taser gun from it's holster, set the voltage, and pointed it at him "Police Freeze don't you fucking move" I screamed the guy froze in his place The situation had become dangerous so I signaled to Lauren to hide behind a counter until I came for her. Suddenly the store was in a small uproar customers dropped their purchases ,screams from women could be heard yet I kept my gun drawn "Someone call  911 ! "  I hollered and glanced quickly to see a store clerk frantically fidgeting with her telephone attempting to call the police "Are you fucking serious you fucking Cunt! you're protecting that psychotic bitch! ask her where the fuck my brother is huh!"  I glanced back at Lauren only to see tears streaming down her face "I don't know what he is talking about!!" Lauren screamed her voice giving out between her words I turned back to the guy "Don't  you fucking move" I said glaring at him "You are protecting that crazy bitch too you have no idea what she is capable of she can twist your mind  man!"  he shouted his words stern yet slurred he began stumbling towards me. "Sir, I f you do not remain still I will be forced to use my taser to subdue you" I yelled out (First Warning given) but he ignored my it and continued stumbling towards me. My eyes caught site of something shiny buried under his shirt. I watched as he reached under his shirt and with out warning I Shot two prongs with the electric voltage to subdue a small horse deep into his body and watched as his body jerked violently he let out a blood curdling scream as he fell to the ground and just before he hit the floor, a silver 9 mm gave way and slid from under his pants. I quickly reacted and pulled out my hand cuffs I never went anywhere without my taser or cuffs. I quickly yanked both of his arms to bend behind his back I listened as he hollered in all of his drunken ness. "Shut the fuck up you piece of shit" I mumbled to him. After I cuffed the guy and stood up, my balance was reinforced by a pair of strong hands. I quickly spun around only to see 5 of my fellow officers  and one Officer Phillips a rookie like me smiling at me as he held my balance. I snapped out of my daze and stepped to the side "What do we have here" a seasoned officer with white hair  asked. looking up at me . I turned around and signaled to Lauren with my head to come over to me "We have an unidentified male with a firearm I would say possession with intent to cause fatal or bodily harm, assault, and public intoxication and disturbing the peace" I sounded really professional 

"He t-tried to r -rr-ape m-m-me "  Lauren said she stuttered between breaths tears still streaming down her face.  

"Holy shit that's the chiefs daughter"  the rookie cop said his eyes wide and wild with anxiousness

My heart was pounding at this moment I was pretty sure that come tomorrow the Chief would know about the incident so I did not bother calling him. I prepared for the worst being terminated on my first week  on the job. After Lauren filled out her report and gave statements to the officers we were on our way back to my car. Lauren was quiet the entire trip I tried to console her by holding her hand only to have her pull it out of my grasp and turn facing the window during the entire drive. In that moment I knew that there was nothing that I could do. I decided to go back to the house and start packing my things.
