A Love Triangle { Chapter 8}

[ quick note]: I apologize to my readers for the long wait for chapter eight of A love triangle. I've been distracted dealing with issues in my personal life that made me distant from writing for awhile. I hope this makes up for it. ~ Ms.Jackson

The next day Raquel and Michael were in the car together working, but weren't really speaking to each other unless if it had to do with their job.
Then suddenly they got a call for a robbery at a liquor store so as Michael
Sped up in the car and turned on the siren he noticed the man was running away.
So as Michael tried to catch up with him by car the man hops over a fence as Michael parked the car as he jumped the fence while Raquel went around to try and catch him, but as she was running she didn't notice the man was hiding behind a wall as he punched her in the face as she fell down then the man pulls her up by her shirt collar while holding his hand gun to her temple.
As Michael came running and saw that the man was holding a gun to her head he took out his gun as he yelled " DROP YOUR WEAPON!" The man ignored him as said " screw you man, I'll drop you and this bitch right here".
The man was sweating a little as his eye was twitching while his hand was shaking a little bit as he was holding the gun, he was high and Raquel noticed too.
Raquel, then yelled out to Michael " Michael be careful he's high!"
The man got mad at her as he hit her with his gun as he yelled " shut up bitch!".
Michael kept his composure as he kept his gun pointed at the man
Then says " drop your weapon, you don't have to do this...."
The man still didn't listen as he said " fuck you, I am not gonna go anywhere without my money!"
Michael felt nervous for Raquel, but kept his composure as he calmly said while having the gun still pointed at him " sir you need to calm down, now put the gun down...."
The man then shot at the ground near Michael's feet, but didn't hit him as he said "screw you! I won't go anywhere without my money! I need my money! "
Michael tried to calm him down, but since it wasn't working he began to grow impatient and scared for Raquel's sake as he said " put your fucking gun down now! Now!",
But the man still didn't listen to him as he then pointed his gun at Michael and yelled " Fuck You!" Raquel then stomped on his foot then elbowed him in the groin as she grabbed his arm to remove the gun from his hand then pushes him face-front against the wall as he broke his nose on the brick wall as Michael and Raquel pin him up against the wall and hand cuff as they read him his rights and threw him in the car as they drove to the police station to lock him up then went back on the road.
While they were in the car Raquel was holding her nose with tissue since it was bloody Michael looked at her and said " it looks like it could be broken, I think you need to go to a doctor...."
Raquel rubbed the blood off of her nose with her tissue and said " I'm fine....." Very coldly, but Michael raised his eyebrow as he looked at her and said " are you sure about that?"
Raquel then sniffled and said " yes I'm fine!"
Michael looked at her and said " why are you getting mad at me all I was doing was checking to see if you were ok?"
Raquel got upset as she said " look i don't need you checking up on me and I could've handled myself back there!"
Michael rolled his eyes as he said " yeah like you were doing such a good job with a damn gun being pointed at you by man who was high on PCP!"
Raquel rolled her eyes as she threw her bloody tissue at him and said " oh screw you!"
Michael then looked at her as he said " oh screw me? Screw you! You're being ungrateful and immature for not giving me the least gratitude for saving your ass--"
Raquel then cut him off as she yelled " stop the car!, pull this shit over!"
Michael then said " what?"
Raquel then yelled again " pull this damn car over!"
Michael pulled over as Raquel got out of the car and slammed the door as Michael ran out the car after her as he yelled " hey! What the hell is wrong with you get back in the damn car!"
Raquel then yelled " screw you! I'm not going back in the car with you!"
Michael then said " are you crazy? You're gonna get us fired if you don't at least ride back with me"
Raquel just sat down on the bench with her hands covering her eyes as tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Michael, paused as he looked at her while rubbing the back of his neck while looking down at the ground feeling upset knowing there was a deeper reason why she started crying and it wasn't because of the man that was gonna kill her, but about something else.
Michael sat down next to her as he put his arm around her and said " ok look Raquel I'm sorry for the stuff I said back there I was being insensitive I know it's hard working together after....you know?...."
Raquel sniffled as she cried a little more as Michael held her close and kissed the top of her head and said " hey c'mon now stop crying you'll be fine, I promise...."
Raquel sniffled as she wiped the tears away then softly said " Michael?...."
Michael rubbed her back as he softly asked " what's wrong?...."
Raquel exhaled as she said hesaitantly, " I-I....I think I may be pregnant...."
