Chapter One;
The Present;
For STeve Sloan it had been a long day into the station. Being
called at around 3 a.m. to a come to a
crime scene. Steve was thankful to have been able to be home at
an early hour. As he pulled his truck into
the driveway of the Beach House he and his father shared, he
noticed neither his father or Pam were home
yet. Getting out of the truck and heading up the front steps of
the main part of the house he grabbed the
days mail from the mailbox. as he inserted his key into the front
door. Opening the dorr and evering the
house, he thumbed through the mail. Picking out the mail bearing
his and Pams name and tossing the
rest on a nearby table in the hall for his dad.
Heading down the stairs to the unit of the house that was his.
That he now shared with Pam since she
had recently moved in with him. Removing his holstered gun,pager
and badge and depositing them on
that table behind the sofa. He headed to where the phone and
answering machine were. He glanced at
the machine for blinking lights indicating a messge, but found
none. Disappointed to find none. As he'd
tried several times uring the day to call Pam at work. He had no
idea why but he missed her badly that
day. He wanted to hear her voice. But each time he'd called he
got her voice mail message.
He was off duty night and not even on call. He'd hoped that he
and Pam could have shared a quiet
evening alone just the two of them. It had been a hetic month for
both of them. Either Steve was involved
in giving testomy in a case that had gone to trial, was on an
undercover assignment, an investagation.
a stakeout, or at Bobs. Pam had also had her share of things to
keep her busy as well. Much of the time she'd spent out of town
on a business trip for the bank, a late or early meeting or a
function for the bank.
Every now and then it seemed their paths would cross, but only
briefly. Their orginqal plan was that if the
moved in together they'd have more time to spend together, boy
were they wrong. Steve thought to himself
this wasm't the way it was suposed to go at all.
Sighing, he headed in the direction of the kithen he got himself
a beer and headed towards the door
that led him to his patio. He gazed at the Ocean and listened to
the pounding surf and heard the mornful
cries of the seagulls.He smiled to hmself as he took a lounge
chair. still gazing out to the sea he let his
mind wander back to the day when he'd met Pam. She worked as Loan
Officer, opening accounts for
Major Corporations. At Seaway Community Bank in Malibu. it was
newly opened and he and his dad
both opened accounts there. He had some problems with his
checking account, noting was adding up
frustrated Steve gathered all of his papaerwork and to the bank.
Upon entering he signed in and took a
seat with other customers in a sitting area also waiting to be
helped. A women came from a corner office
with snappy brown eye and brown hair about 5'7, very attractive
thought Steve upon seeing her. She walked
over tot he sign in book and wrote something in it and looked to
the expectant customers and called Mr.
Sloan? Yes said Steve and got up to join this women. Hi I'm Pam
she said. and extended her hand
Hi I'm Steve shaking her hand. would you follow me? Pam said. She
led Steve back tot he corner office
and indicate for him to take a seat. He did so after she took
hers behind her desk. Now Mr. Sloan what can
I help you with? asked Pam. Please call me STeve he said. I have
a checking account and nothing
I seem to do matches with my statement or deposits. Okay she said
Lets see what we have here. Handing
them to her she took them and looked them over for a few minutes.
Finiaaly she looked up and said I'll
access your account on the computer. She found his information
within minutes Another few minutes
passed and finially Pam looking back at Steve said I think I have
the problem solved. You see the teller
transposed the deposit indicating to STeve on her computer
screen. You don't have any outstanding checks do you? Mr. Sloan?
ah no I don't think so looking at his last entries into his check
register. If you'll
give me a few minutes I'll have this all straightened out. At
that she rose and headed towards the teller area.
Within minutes she returned with the paperwork. I have corrected
the first deposit and entered the corrected
one. There she said handing Steve back his papers. He accepted
them and said Thank you and walked
out of the office.
After leaving the bank and heading towards the station, Steve
could not the image of Pam out of his
head. There was something about this women he liked and wondered
just how he could approach her to ask her to go out with him.
He'd glanced at her left hand and saw no engagement or wedding
rings. So he
was fairly certain she was unattached. Raching the station he
parked his silver crown vicotria in his spot
and got out of the car and headed into the station. He headed
straight for his desk and the mound of paperwork that waited for
him. It seemed that there was a file on every corner of his desk.
He reached for
the first file and began his report. Soon he had the last file in
front of him and was just entering the last
word into the computer when he glanced at his watch, 7 p.m it
read. time for dinner Steve thought to himself. Reports finished
he picked up his phone and dialed had dad. waiting for him to
answer Steve
signed his name to all his printed out reports just as he
finished the last one he hear Mark Sloan. Hi dad
came Steve, Hi Steve said Mark. Where are you? asked Mark at the
station, I thought maybe we could
meet at Bob's and have dinner said STeve. Sounds great replied
Mark, glancing at his watch about a half
hour? Mark asked Sure dad see you then said Steve. hanging up the
phone Steve stood and placed his
finished reports into the Captains box and strode out of the
office.
About a week later, Steve stood in the line at Seaway Bank
waiting for his turn at the tellers window.
When Pam came from the back of the bank and she spotted him. Hi
Mr. Sloan How are you? Pam asked
Fine Steve said and please call me Steve Okay said Pam anymore
problems with your account she asked
Nope none so far that is. said STeve Good glad to hear that and
she strode off towards her office. It was
Steves turn at the tellers window, once his transaction was
complete he walked towards Pams office she
had papers in front of her and was looking them over. Steve
stopped at the doorframe and knocked. She
looked up and asked Is there something I can help you with? Pam
asked. Ah yes er no maybe. said STeve a bit nervious. I wanted to
say Thank you for your help a few weeks ago. Oh no problem said
Pam
it's my job and your Welcoome. Steve paused a second longer Is
there something else? asked Pam
Yes said STeve I was wondering would you have dinner with me this
evening? Well er Mr. Sloan, Please
call me Steve he said Okay I'm really sorry I can't I have plans.
said Pam. Another time perhaps? asked
Pam Sure said Steve and with that he took off.
Yet again, another day not to long after that STeve was
struggling with reports again. He was just
reaching for another file, when his phone rang picking it up he
said in his usual tone Lt. Sloan. He listened
a few seconds to the person on the other end of the line and
replied Show me enroute, eta about 20
minutes. Hanging up the phone and grabbing his jacket he headed
for the door and his car. Arriiving at the secene within the
estamated time, he jumped from his car and weaved in out of
parked cars in the parking lot to a black & white. both
officers standing behind their car with guns drawn. Steve reached
the
two uniformed officers and showed them his ID Lt. Steve Sloan,
Metro Division. The one officer who identififed himself as
Officer Braven and this is Officer Wilder. So what do we have?
asked STeve. We
arrived at 1;15 p.m. after we got a call that the silent alarm
had gone off from inside the bank. Upon our
arrival we heard gunshots. What kind of guns and how many shots
and how many perps? asked STeve
So far there is one perp and one gun. sounded like a
semi-automatic. Any demands? asked Steve
Yes said officer Wilder. he wants a get away car in one hour or
he'll start killing a Bank employee or
customer every fifteen minutes until he gets what he wants.
Okay said STeve call dispatch and have them send out a command
truck,SWAT team and get some
extra man power to block off these roads. Yes sir replied officer
Wilder. Within minutes just what Steve
had asked for arrived. In the comand truck, Steve, Officers
Braven & Wilder all put on headsets as a phone
was being dialed from within the bank. Steve pushed the button to
talk. This is Lt Steve Sloan who am I
talking to? The guy with the gun said the man. I'd still like to
know your name said Steve. Mike.... my name
is Mike. Okay said Steve Mike who were you trying to call? he
asked My girlfriend replied Mike. Okay
do you want me to have her brought down here? Whats her name?
STeve asked. No and her names Jean.
with that the line went dead. All three officers looked at one
another. Once again the gunman tried to make
an outgoinng call. Mike said sTeve you are talking on a captured
line all your calls have to go through me.
Now have you reconsidered do you want Jean brought here? asked
Steve. No I want my get away car.
Whats happening with that? Mike asked I don't know said STeve I
think they are working on it. Just then
STeve heard in the background a women scream. Mike what was that?
steve asked Mike? MIke/ talk
to me said Steve. Just then he heard Mike yell 'WILL YOU SHUT
UP!"" I can't think he said. Mike whats
going on aske Steve. A lady in one of the offices, She's pregant
and I think in labor. Okay said STeve
will it make it easier if I take that expectant mother off your
hands? She really needs to go tot he hospital
said STeve. meanwhile STeve covered the mouth piece call for an
ambulance and paramedics. tell them
it's a Maternity call. Mike let me help you. said STeve Okay you
want to help come in here and take her
place. Okay said STeve. and the line again went dead. Getting our
of the van he asked for a kavlar
vest. he put it on and removed his gun and badge and handed them
to Officer Wilder. Are you trying to be
a hero Lt? he asked. No just doing my job trying to save that
women and all the hostages before someone
else gets hurt. You know Lt, there are sharpshooters on the roof
just walk him to the window and we'll take him out. Wish me luck
was all steve said and headed for the front door or the bank. One
officer stopped
STeve and said the paramedics and amublance are enroute. Okay
Thanks. replied STeve.
Steve went as directed to the front door and knocked, he was let
in by the Banks Manager Put your hands up replied the gunman.
Steve did as he was told and glanced around the room. cops eye
never
missing a thing. just then he again heard a scream. walking
towards the back office he entered to see
a very pregant Maryanne seated in a chair. on either side of her
was Pam timing her contraction and another women teling her to
breath. Steve squatted in front of the women and waited for the
contraction
to end before he spoke. How are you doing? Steve asked Whats your
name? She nodded okay and
said her name was Maryanne. I'm Steve he said Maryanne pointed to
the women on her left this is Ginger
and this is Pam she said. Yes I know said STeve we've met. Just
then another contraction came. both
went into their set tasks. At the end of the contraction Pam
stood and walked to Steve. How long have
we got? asked STeve I really don't think long. Her contractions
are about 20 minutes apart. We need to
get her to somewhere more comfortable suggested Pam. I have an
ambulance and paramedics comming.
said STeve. I really don't think theres time STeve, Pam said.
Just then another contaction came and it
came hard. Steve walked out of the office we need to get her to a
comfortable place. No shouted the
gunman you were trading places with her remember She's outta
here. It's not that simple replied Steve
she is about to deliver. Finially the bank manager spoke, theres
a couch in my office across the hall.
we can take her there he suggested. Good said STeve. Steve walked
back tot he room where Pam,Ginger and Maryanne were. We have a
place to take her he told Pam. Good Bud can you get us some
blankets?
asked Pam Sure he grabbed a couple of them from the closet in his
office and brought them back to Pam
Okay I need some help here she said looking at STeve and Dan.
then to Ginger Okay what do you need?
asked Steve. Inbetween contractions can you help Maryanne to a
standing position and Gail and Patty
hold this blanket up so Ginger and I can get her lower cloths off
in preperation of the delivery. Sure they all
said Just let us know when you are ready. Okay Maryanne can you
do this? Pam asked Yes I think so
if I have some help. Steve and Dan both took their places on
either side of her and helped her to stand
just then a contraction came and came hard. Gail and Patty
quickly held up the blanket while STeve coached her to breath
through it. Ginger and Pam quickly went to work at removing her
clothing Done they
said together and STeve and Dan led her to the bank mangers
office and the couch. Steve remembered
all to well helping Amanda deliver triplets when the nut case
walked intot he clinic across from GC with a
bomb strapped to his chest demanding to know what unsuspecting
women was having his baby. Once Maryann was on the couch, the
bank manager came to the door and said the ambulance and
paramedics
were there, To late replied Pam but I do need the OB kit she
said. and fast. The bank manager looked to
the guy with the gun, go go get it and nothing funny Mike said.
Bud the banks manager walked to the door
and unlocked it and grabbed the bag and closed and locked the
door. he brought it to Pam. Quickly Pam
went to work, she opened the box and got out a pair of gloves and
slipped them on. Just then Maryanne
had another contraction, I've got to push she yelled Okay said
Pam breath breath through it said STeve
calmly holding her hand and she was leaning up against him.
Ginger said she's about four minutes apart
Ginger looked to Pam are you ready. Yep I'm ready. Okay Maryanne
on your next contaction bear down
and push. She did as she was told to but in midstream stopped, I
can't she said yes you can said Pam,
STeve and Ginger. Okay said Pam I see the head, okay Maryanne
push, good said Pam I've got the head said Pam rest a minutes she
coached Maryann, take your time. Okay are you ready? Maryanne
noded She pushed again okay good one theres a sholder, turn for
me baby turn said Pam okay theres
the other sholder finially the whole baby was prensent. Ginger
held a blanket for the baby while Pam
cut and tied off the cord. Maryanne laid back agaisnt STeve
exhusted Good job he said to her Pam looked up and said to
Maryanne it's a girl. Congratulations they all said. She took the
offereed bundle
as Pam finished her work. Steve propped Maryanne up against some
pillows and walked out of the office
It's a GIRL he announced. they all clapped. Suddenly STeve
noticed Mike engrosed with something
happening outside, STeve saw his chance and he jumped Mike from
behind effectively pinning himi to
the floor. the gun went fling STeve pulled out his cuffs and
helped him to his feet just as the Bank Manager
unlocked the doors to let the wating officers in. Once he'd been
recited his rights and hauled off the
paramedics and ambulance crew was let in to take mother and baby
to Community General.
Steve led the gunman out to a waitng patrol car and returned
inside the bank. He walked to the
bakc office to find Pam filling out paperwork on a clipboard and
a patiently waiting Paramedic. She finished
and handed the clipboard back and the man headed out the door.
Steve walked up to Pam and that point it finially hit her as to
what happened. that she just broke out
into tears and into STeves waiting arms. She been so worried
about Maryanne that she had blocked out
the rest. Steve waited a few minutes for the tears to sibside and
led her out of the bank only first to stop by
her office to retrive her purse.
Once outside and away from the bank she calmed down and apoljuzed
for her actions. None needed
replied STeve you did what you had to do and you were under
preasure and it's just a let down. She wiped
her tears and blew her nose. She felt better. Steve told her
she'd need to come downtown and give a
statement and she said okay. He could see she was still shaky so
he offered to drive her to the station.
Steve led her to his company car, opened the door and once she
was in closed it. walking around to the
other side and got in. After they were on their way to the
station, Steve asked where did the medical knowledge come from? I
am a Registered Nurse in Obstretics, from back home and also a
liscensed
Paramedic. I see said STEve, so why? she didn't let him finish Am
I working in a Bank? she said. Yes

an Ob?gyn I was a nurse for a private
DR and also worked at a local Hospital in Providence. I went to
Nursing school nights and worked for
Seaway Community Bank there days. Doing the samething i am now. I
relocated to LA about 6 mos ago
when they opened this branch and haven't quite gotten around to
find out required courses I need to take
to get my Nursing Liscense upgraded for here. Oh said STeve.
Finialy reaching the station, STeve
pulled the car into his space and got out, he walked around the
car and opened the door for Pam and helped her out.
Together they walked into the Station. Steve took her to an
Intergation Room and got her a cup of coffee
and arranged for a transpriber to take the depisiton. Once it was
given and typed she signed it and was
ready to leave. Steve told her he'd have another officer take her
to her car back at the banks parking lot.
but on one conditon he said. Okay whats that Pam asked That you
have dinner with me tonight? Okay
Pam simply said. Steve glanced at his watch about an hour? he
asked I have a couple of loose ends
to take care of first. Okay said Pam But you need to give me your
address said STeve Oh thats right
replied Pam He got out his pad, ready? she asked Ready he said.
Okay it's 20235 Ocean Blvd in
Malibu. Steve jotted it down then looked at her questioningly,
Whats the matter she asked. You did

Beach House there with my father, Dr Mark Sloan. Pam looked at

back to her car. Steve leaned over and gave Pam a kiss on the
cheek and said see you in an Hour. Okay

walked out the door.
