When we walked into the station everyone stopped and clapped for me. I smiled and blushed. "Come on stop." I laugh.

Clint walked over. "What in the hell are you doing here?"

"Chief said I could come in and interview the man who shot me," I said.

"Coop what are you going to do with her?" Clint laughed.

"Just love her." He smiled.

Clint smirked and patted Coop on the back while I went to talk with the Chief.

He told me that Gragg was in holding that I could go on in and talk to him. I walk out and get Coop and head to the room as Coop goes behind the two-way mirror.

I open the door and Benny looked shocked when he saw me. "Thought you killed me?" I asked.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked.

"It's going to take more than a bullet to take me out, Benny," I smirked.

"So what do you want?" He asked.

"I want to know why you shot me?" I ask sitting down.

"You killed my sister." He said.

"Come on really? Do you think that I as a cop would have her killed? Don't you think if I wanted to kill her it would be before now?" I ask.

"She loved you, you know." He said.

"Yeah right! Benny come on I'm no fool. She left me when I was four years old and I never saw her again until I was ten and she had that accident with Avah and almost killed my brother." I said.

"I didn't know it was your family she tried to kill." He said.

"Avah raised me and adopted me and is a real mom to me and Courtney didn't care about that. When she found out Avah was her sister she only cared if Avah got any money. She never even saw me." I said.

"If you didn't kill her then who did?" He asked.

"A lady that was her cellmate. I'm not sure what happened but she stabbed her." I said.

"Umm I'm sure it won't mean much but I'm sorry I shot you and I'm glad you are ok." He said.

"It's not ok Benny and now you get to spend some time in prison for attempt murder," I said.

"I guess that's what happens when you assume. It just makes me the big ass." He said.

"I guess it does," I said getting up and heading for the door.

"Violet again I'm really sorry." He said.

I walked out of the room and leaned against the door and shut my eyes. Coop came out of the other room and stood in front of me.

"V are you ok?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said as he pulled me out on the patio.

"How could he shoot someone when he didn't even have all the facts? I don't get it, Coop." I said.

"I'm not sure V but he's going to have plenty of time to think it over while he sits in prison." He said.

"Are you ready to go?" I ask rubbing my head.

"Yeah let me go and brief the chief and we can go." He said.

"Ok, I just want to sit out here a few minutes and collect my thoughts," I said as I sit down and he walked inside.

At least she won't have any other family out there now besides my mom and she can't stand them. She wanted to choke him herself. Saying I'm sorry just doesn't fix anything for me.

I place my hand over my chest where the bullet grazed me and thanked the Lord for saving me.

I sit there a few more minutes then went back in and over to my desk and waited on Coop. When he comes out I was more than ready to go home and rest.

By the time we got home, there was my dad's truck in the driveway and he was leaned up against his truck with Uncle Gray.

We get out of the car and I smile at both of them. "Hey, dad! Uncle Gray, what brings you by?" I ask.

"We just wanted to check on you munchkin and well Uncle Gray wants to check your wound," Dad said.

"Well come on in and I'll let you check so you can relax." I laugh.

Coop cuts the alarm off as we all walk to the living room. I sit down on the couch as Uncle Gray check my wound while Coop told them about Benny.

"He said he was sorry but that wasn't enough. I mean he didn't know it was mom she tried to kill but I don't think it changed things." I said.

"He's going where he needs to and you and your mom don't have to worry about him anymore. Wait is there more family?" Dad asks.

"I don't think so. No wife and kids we were told." I said.

"Well, munchkin your wound looks pretty good even though it's still bleeding some but its not really big. That should heal right over." Uncle Gray said.

"Thanks! I'm glad that's all it is." I yawn.

"We can leave munchkin if your tired," Dad said.

"Thanks, dad but y'all can stay and talk with Coop if you want I'm just really tired," I said.

"No, we can go. Your mom is waiting on me." Dad said.

I stood up and hugged them both and Coop walked them out and set the alarm while I was upstairs changing into my pj's and getting in bed.

Coop came upstairs and took a shower while I watched tv and I fell asleep before he ever came to bed.

I felt him cuddle me from behind and kiss the side of my face. I sank my body back against his and fell deeper to sleep.
