Monica only grinned as the two woman kept walking past her, talking non stop and not even seeing her coming out of the fitting room. Katie Malloy and Demi Banon were each studying and reading from their schedules. It was only a few more days untill the big wedding between Trent and Monica, after months of planning, the last few days were always the crazyest. Walking up and down past each other and Monica who was trying to get their attention.

"Mom?! Mrs Malloy?!" Monica said trying to get the women’s attention.

"Now the flowers were hard to find so they’ll only be ready on Friday, which means we’re going to have to arrange the tables and chairs without them. Did you get hold of the caterers Katie?" Demi asked Katie still reading from her small book filled with information, not even hearing her daughter behind them.

"Mom!?" Monica once again called out.

"Yes, they said we have to stop by today to do the testing. Otherwise we’re going to have to be happy with what they give. I’ll do that after three, but we first have to make a stop at Walker’s farm to help with organizing the place." Katie said to Demi who was also too caught up in reading her information, also not hearing Monica.

"Mrs Malloy?!" Monica tried to get her attention, but nothing.

"I thought Trivette was supposed to do that?" Demi asked her.

"Yes, but he called me this morning saying he had a load of work to do. And he still hasn’t gotten in touch with the bands manager!" Katie answered her, making another note in her book. Monica then rolled her eyes, she then brought her two pinky’s to her mouth and whistled hard. Demi and Katie then finally looking at her, their eyes widened as they watched Monica stepping closer on the small platform.

"Well, what do you think?" Monica asked holding the sides of the dress and turning around. The dress was bright white. The top was sleeveless and decorated with hundreds of pearls just till above her waist which then spread out like a ball dress with a white satin material. Her back was also covered with pearls but split in the middle and was held together with thin bands crossing across each other. Her long black curly hair hung down made the women realize that the wedding wasn’t until Saturday, but here stood Monica who looked ready for the big day.

"O sweety! You look absolutely beautiful!" Demi said closing her book and her mouth hung open smiling. She and Katie stepped closer and started inspecting the gorgeous wedding dress.

"You look wonderful Monica." Katie said smiling at Monica.

"Thanks." Monica said happily. She couldn’t believe that in only a few days, she would to married to the man of her dreams, Trent.

"Now I think that her hair should be worn loose just like this, and the veil on top." Demi said stroking her fingers through Monica’s hair, trying all sorts of style’s but it looked best just loose.

"O yes absolutely! And we could spread the small white flowers all over her hair." Katie said straightening Monica’s dress. Monica only stood there still as the two women fiddled and straightened her out. She wondered if Trent was having as much fun as she was.

"Nah, I still think black would look the best." Carlos said waving his arm at Trent who standing infront of Carlos and Walker who were helping his get his tuxedo ready. But so far he had worn over five different types and none of them suited the two men infront of him.

"Yeah I think your right Carlos. Why don’t you go and try it on again Trent." Walker said sitting next to Carlos, Trent only rolled his eyes and signed as the walked back into the dressing room.

"Alright but this is the last time!" Trent said slamming the door shut, Carlos and Walker only laughed enjoying their time helping Trent get ready. After a few minutes Trent walked out again, wearing a black tuxedo, an long sleeved white shirt and a navy blue, buttoned, sleeveless french coat over it. And a black bow tie Trent staightend a little to allow the air to pass down his throat. A smile then appeared on Carlos and Walker’s faces as they stood up and walked to him.

"Perfect!" Walker said to Trent, who smiled and turned to the huge mirrors around him and almost looked proud of himself. There was a huge amount of excitement in him, he couldn’t believe that in only a few days, he would be married to the woman of his dreams, Monica.

"So, when can you pick up the rings?" Carlos asked him, tightening the bow tie on Trent’s throat. Trent the clapped his friends hands away and loosening the thing again.

"They said the rings would be done tomorrow." Trent said grinning at Carlos who then smiled at him.

"Good. Oh that reminds me, I’ll go pick up your tickets later this afternoon. I first have to meet Katie and Demi at the Ranch to help them with the decorating." Walker said.

"Thanks Walker. Hey, what’s the time?" Trent asked remembering something. Carlos then looked at his watch and answered him.

"It’s five past one." Carlos said, feeling his stomach growling.

"Oh no!! I was supposed to meet Monica for lunch at one!!" Trent said quickly rushing back into the dressing room.
 
 

"I’m going to be late! I’ll see you guys later." Monica said running out the Wedding shop, with Katie and Demi watching her drive off with the black Porche.

After a few minutes she arrived and walked into the restaurant. She didn’t see Trent anywhere, but turned to bump into the blonde blue eyed man. Taken by surprise they smiled looking at each other.

"Sorry I’m late!" They both said at the same time, and then broke out in a laugh. Trent then placed his hands around her neck and brought her face closer, she closed her eyes as their lips touched. They soon then sat down at their table and ordered some drinks, Trent holding her hand rubbing it softly.

"Man, I never thought things would get this hectic before the wedding." Monica said taking a sip of her wine, Trent only smiled at her.

"Well, I know it will all be worth it. So how many guests are we expecting?" Trent asked her kissing her hand with the huge diamond ring.

"Aah! That reminds me, I have to tell mom to put out another 20 seats! The guys from the NYPD called me also wanting to come." Monica said closing her eyes remembering when they called her this morning. There already more than a hundred guests coming, that’s why the wedding would be held at Walker’s Ranch. There would be a huge white tent set up in the huge pasture infront of his house where the tables and band would be for that evening, and on the right side of the tent the wedding itself would be held just before 4 o’clock. A long white matt would be laid down in the middle of the wide aisle dividing the seats in two sides.

"Well, I’m sure we’ll have enough room." Trent said to her. He didn’t want her to worry too much about the wedding. Their friends and family would handle that, they just had to enjoy the time up to the big day. "Yeah I guess your right." Monica said smiling at him.

"So, did you get that band from overseas you wanted?"

Trent asked her taking a sip of his red wine.

"Westlife?! O yes I spoke with their manager yesterday. Their in New York on Friday for a concert, but they’ll be here for the wedding." Monica answered him. She wanted something totally different for the Wedding and she heard about the boy band only a few months ago and absolutely loved their soft and calm music. They were all to happy to preform at Race Banon’s daughter’s wedding.

"Good. And what’s this surprise band you’ve organized?" Trent said smiling at her. Monica then glared at him and then rolled her eyes.

"Carlos told you didn’t he?!" She said, she knew she shouldn’t have told him. It was all her idea to arrange a special band for the wedding party the Saturday night.

"Don’t worry! All he told me was that you arranged another band to preform at the wedding party. Don’t you think this is a little too much?" Trent asked her, he was a little worried about the expenses.

"Good. And no it isn’t too much. I want the very best of our big day. And don’t worry about the money, with my father’s inheritance, we’ll be able to afford anything. Besides..I think my dad would have wanted it this way." Monica said and her smile disappeared, she had so hoped her father would be able to attend her wedding one day.

"I’m sure he did honey." Trent said smiling at her, she looked at him and then smiled back. The memory of Monica’s fathers death still haunted them all. But they knew that Race would have wanted them to spare no money on this wedding. Everything had to be perfect and first class.

After lunch started their way out the restaurant towards their cars, Trent holding her hand. After a few feet they heard an alarm go off in the beauty shop ahead. Two men came running out of the store wearing black masks and running towards Trent and Monica. They stood ready and as they passed Trent kicked out his leg tripping the one guy to ground. Monica threw out her arm hitting the guy’s neck, he fell backwards to the ground gasping for air. Trent stood ready for the guy as he got to his feet again, he threw a right punch at Trent, but he quickly blocked him off and sent a round kick in the guys chest, he fell to the ground and didn’t get up again. Monica’s foot was grabbed by the guy still on the ground, she then brought her other foot around and kick his square in the face, him too not moving after hitting the ground. She then looked over to Trent who looked back at her smiling, and bystanders started cheering and clapping their hands at the couple. Two security guards came running out the store and glared down at the two masked men moaning in pain, lying on the ground. Monica then took out her badge from the back of her Jean and showed it to the men, who then bent down to arrest them.

"Never a dull moment huh?" Trent said walking up to her wrapping arms around her waist, Monica only laughed as they continued walking down to their parked cars.

Trent headed back to Thunder Investigations to help finish a case. He, Carlos and Kim decided to close the business for about a week, just until Trent and Monica got back from their honeymoon. Monica soon arrived at the Dallas Police Department and as soon as she walked inside, she was surprised by a crowd of officers infront of her cheering and whistling with her arrival. She firstly saw the huge sign hanging from the roof reading ‘Congratulations!’, she smiled in seeing her friends, Michelle Summers and Mike Larry walking up to her.

"O you guys!" Monica said hugging Michelle.

"Hey, don’t look at me! It was her idea!" Mike said hugging her then and pointing at Michelle who only grinned at him. Monica only laughed as two officers came walking closer carrying a huge cake, shaped like a police badge and also read "Congratulations!’. Monica felt like breaking out in tears of joy as the cake was set infront of her, the candle’s burning brightly. Captain Harris then came walking closer as the whole force started cheering him yelling ‘Speech!!’. Harris waved up his arms for everyone to quiet down.

"Alright! Alright! Shut up already!" He said smiling and as soon as the room was quiet, he turned to Monica and smiled.

"I think..um...I speak for everyone here, when I say that you are one hell of a cop Banon. And we want to congratulate you on getting married this weekend. We’ll all be there to share your big day with you...." He said and someone from the back yelled "And the beer!" and everyone broke out in a laugh. "And the beer! But also we hope to see you back here really soon, so don’t go running off with a PI!" Harris said and everyone once again laughed, Monica laughing with them.

"Thank you everyone! You all have been such great friends, and don’t worry. I won’t be filling out my retirement form for a long time!" Monica said and with that everyone cheered her.

"So, blow out your candle’s already! Some of us haven’t had lunch yet!" Mike said his mouth watering for a piece of the cake, everyone cheering. Monica smiled and bent down, she took a deep breath and blew out all the candle’s. Everyone cheering and clapping their hands. Harris then handed Monica a knife and with the help of Michelle, they started cutting the cake and handing out pieces to everyone.
 
 

Trent walked up the stairs and as soon as he walked into the office, he was greeted by smiles. Kim sitting behind her desk and Carlos, as always, sitting on the couch reading the paper.

"Well hello there, Mr Soon to be Married!" Kim said standing up from her chair, Trent only smiled back at her, walked across the room and sat beside Carlos.

"So?! Tell us! Where are you going for you honeymoon?!" Kim asked sitting on the low table infront of the two PI’s. Carlos then also turned his attention to Trent, he also didn’t know where the dream destination was.

"Oh No! There is no way I’m going to tell you guys!" Trent said to them, taking the paper from Carlos who only grinned at him.

"O Please Trent!! Just a little hint!" Kim said putting her hands together, begging him. Trent only glared up at her, and Kim got her answer.

"Fine! Guess I’ll have to wait just like Monica huh?!"

Kim said standing up her arms on her sides.

"Yip." Trent said still looking at the paper.

"Anyway...." Carlos said lifting his one eyebrow and looking at the two, and then continues.

"What do we have on the new case Kim?" Carlos asked her.

"Ah yes! It may have taken me awhile, but I finally got something on this Antonio Lopez. Seems he still owes our client about 1.5 million dollars. Which would explain why he disappeared." Kim said walking to her desk and picking up a file. She hands it to Trent who reads a bit from it.

"And why our client, Victor Nolte wants to find him so bad." Carlos added taking the paper back from Trent who only smiled at him.

"Yeah, but there’s still something I don’t get." Trent said closing the file and looking at his two friends.

"What?" Kim asked him.

"Well, if you had over a million dollars, wouldn’t you have left town ages ago?" Trent told them, Carlos and Kim still not certain at what Trent was getting to.

"Yeah so?" Carlos asked him.

"Well then, what’s Lopez doing at our doorstep?!" Trent said calmly pointing to the office door. Carlos and Kim turned to see a man wearing a grey shirt and Jeans stand by their open door out of breath.

"I need your help." The man said trying to catch his breath, Carlos and Kim glared at Trent.
 
 

"Ok, and I want ten seats in each row. And the altar should be more to the left!" Katie said pointing at the small platform at the end of the white matt. Two men the walked closer and carefully turned the huge white wooden altar a bit to left.

"That’s perfect!" Katie cried out the them. Demi was inside the huge open tent ordering everyone around to set the table’s just right. The tent open on the right side, and closed on the side of the road. The band stage was on the closed left side and the head table at the end, and the rest of the table would be arranged so to allow a huge dance floor, all of which on a man built wooden platform. Walker soon walked inside the right side of the tent, quickly stepping out of the way of two men carrying a huge box full of lights. They would be placed all over the tent to create a bright white atmosphere. Walker walked up to Demi who was telling the men where the lights would come up.

"Hi." Walker said coming up from behind her, Demi turned around and smiled at her late husbands friend.

"Hey Walker. Well what do you think?" Demi asked looking around the huge tent.

"I must say, you and Kate have really outdone yourself." Walker said amazed at what the two woman had done with the place.

"So what did Trivette have to do at work that was so important?" Demi asked him.

"Nothing I know of, he said you guys told him he didn’t have to come?!" Walker said not knowing anything.

"Oh that sneaky little!" Demi said but controlled herself.

"Walker, would you be so kind as you call your partner, and tell him to get his lazy little butt over here right now!" Demi said to him, Walker laughed and took out his cell-phone.

"It would be my pleasure." Walker said and with that he turned to call Trivette, who ten to one was somewhere goofing off.
 
 

Monica sat behind her desk going through a few files, just to finish up on a few things. She had already called her mother to set the few extra seats and she already arranged the accommodation at the Royal Dallas Hotel where all the guests would stay the night. Some of them old friend of her father’s, Trent’s family and friends and some of the officers from the force. Monica then heard a knock on her door and smiled to see Michelle walk inside and she took a seat at Monica’s desk.

"So, I called a few of the gals, and they said they’d join us on Friday night for your girls night out!" Michelle said to her, Monica only signed, she had completely forgotten about that.

"I really don’t see why we have to go to a male strip club, right before my wedding Michelle?!" Monica told her.

"Well if the guys can have a Batchelor party, when we can have out own little party." Michelle said smiling at the thought.

"Alright fine!" Monica said but stopped when her office phone rang. She picked the headpiece up and brought it up to her ear.

"Detective Banon.....Richard?? How are you?...Fine thanks, I didn’t expect to hear from you, your agent said you guys were too busy!.....Your joking! O thank you so much Richie! You have no idea how much this means to me! Yes that’s right, I gave your agent all the info!......Thank you again Richie! And I’ll see Saturday night,...alright...Bye!" Monica said and put the headpiece down with the biggest smile on her face.

"Richie?" Michelle asked with a grin on her face.

"I am not saying a word!" Monica said crossing her arms, and Michelle only laughed at her friend.
 
 

"So let me get this straight Mr Lopez. You didn’t steal 1.5 million dollars from Mr. Nolte, he stole the money from you?" Carlos asked the freighted man sitting on a chair at Kim’s desk, Trent and Carlos standing across him.

"That’s right. See me, my late brother and Victor, we was friend, ya see!? So, after my bro leaves me the money, Victor thinks he gets all my rich bro’s money! So I take it back from him!" Antonio said taking a sip of the water Kim had brought him.

"And then he hires us to find you." Trent said, laughing his ass off deep inside, he and Carlos glared at each other and tried to hind the smile.

"So, you guys are gonna find him, and beat him up right?!" Antonio added smiling at the PI’s, they only glared down at the him.

"Well, Mr Lopez I think it would be best if we found Mr Nolte first and sorted this whole thing out.." Trent told him, but everyone was then surprised when Victor Nolte came walking inside the office. He and Antonio shocked to see each other in the same room. Antonio jumped to his feet and pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Victor, who had also brought out his pistol as well. Trent and Carlos stepped back raising their hands.

"Which shouldn’t be a problem since he just walked into the office." Trent finished.

"Antonio!" Victor said holding his gun steady.

"Victor, you son of a ....."

"Hey fella’s!! There’s no need for this alright? I’m sure you two can work this out like gentlemen!" Carlos said smiling at the two, Antonio and Victor then both glared at him pointing their guns at Trent and Carlos.

"Or maybe not..." Carlos said and he and Trent shared a look, Kim kept still behind her desk.

"Listen guys, why don’t we...." Trent tried to say.

"Shut your mouth pretty boy!" Victor yelled at Trent, who got a grin on his face.

"What did you call me?" Trent said stepping closer to Victor who saw the evil look in Trent’s face.

"Uh no!" Carlos said and with that he swinged his right leg around, kicking Antonio’s’ gun from his hand. Trent then used the distraction and also brought his leg around and kicked Victor in his face. He dropped his gun and it slid under the desk, where Kim picked it up. Antonio tried to throw a punch at Carlos, but he quickly ducked as Lopez’s fist swung by, Carlos came up again and returned his fist in Antonio’s face, he stepped back and Carlos brought his right fist from under and gave Antonio a hard uppercut in his face. Antonio flipped backwards crashing onto the small table were the laid. Trent blocked off Victor’s fist and threw a few left and right punches into Victor’s face, he fell to the ground and laid there moaning.

Kim then came around all freaked out.

"Oh no!!" Kim said coming around the desk walked towards Trent and Carlos who were busy catching their breaths.

"Don’t worry, we’re ok!" Carlos said out of breath. Kim then walked right passed him towards her small broken table.

"And I got this at a sale too!" Kim said kicking Antonio off the broken pieces of wood. Trent and Carlos could only laugh at the redhead as they started cleaning things up.
 
 

The officers escorted the two mobsters out the PI"s office, Monica and Michelle then came walking inside seeing the two beaten up men being dragged outside. They turned and smiled at their two PI’s who walk up to their two Detectives. Monica wrapped her arms around Trent and kissed his soft lips, Carlos kissing Michelle as well.

"I swear you guys have a habit of getting into trouble!" Monica said to Trent and Carlos who only gave her a innocent look.

"Now this wasn’t our fault!" Carlos said and the other just laughed. They all then headed down to the street and watched as the officers helped Antonio and Victor in the cars. The two still swearing at each other, the PI’s and Detectives only smiled as they made their way to Butch’s Bar.
 
 

Once inside they were greeted by regular faces, and they took a seat a their favourite table. Butch then soon after came up after the waitress brought them their drinks.

"Well hi there guys, you get in trouble again?" Butch asked them, after seeing the police cars drive away a few minutes ago. Monica and Michelle then smiled at Trent and Carlos who only lowered their heads and everyone laughed.

"So the wedding still on for this weekend? I am still invited aren’t I??" Butch asked turning to Trent and Monica who were sitting next to each other, Trent with his arm around her waist.

"Sure is Butch, and yes we saved you seat." Trent said taking a sip from his beer.

"Good. Say by the way, where ya’ll go’in for your honeymoon?" Butch asked and instantly everyone looked at Trent who still had the bottle of beer in his mouth, he swallowed the beer and smiled at them.

"That’s what I’d like to know Butch." Monica said looking at Trent.

"O no you don’t. It’s a surprise. And the only person who knows is Walker." Trent answered them, and they all rolled their eyes, Trent then leaned forward and kissed Monica who smiled at him. If Trent wanted to keep it as a surprise then it should. Monica’s cell-phone then started ringing and a suspense went off between them wondering who it could be. Monica took it off the side of her Jean and answered it.

"Detective Banon.....Yeah.....where......alright we’re on our way." She said and with that she hooked the mobile phone back on the side of her Jean. Trent and Carlos looked at each other and knew that their time with their women had come to an end.

"What’s up?" Michelle asked her partner.

"There’s been a bomb threat about five blocks down the street from here. And they want us to go check it out." Monica told her and she saw the look in Trent’s eyes. Monica leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

"Sorry baby, it’s my job." Monica said to him and Trent tried to smile at her, he couldn’t help but always worry about her the minute she had to leave his side.

"Yeah I know, it’s just....never mind, you two had better get going." Trent tried to say but then hesitated.

"Ok bye guys. Come on Michelle." Monica said getting up from her seat, Michelle kissed Carlos but he wouldn’t stop kissing her passionately and Monica had to grab Michelle’s arm to pull her away. The two Detectives the quickly ran out the Bar and got into Monica’s Porche and raced off. Trent then played with his beer bottle for a while before looking up a Carlos who said nothing.

"We go?" Trent said to him, Carlos then glared at him and smiled.

"Let’s go!" And with that the two PI’s got up and raced after their women.
 
 

After driving a few minutes Monica spotted a swat car parked outside an old Bar downtown West End. It looked abandoned and everyone around the Bar had been ordered back by the two officers on location. Monica pulled over by them, switched off the powerful engine and they got out.

"What have got?" Monica asked them, the two officers then turned to them. They were both standing behind their cars for cover.

"We got call saying that there was a bomb in the building." The one on the far side said.

"Was it made by a drunken barmen?" Michelle asked the two rookies, who both looked at each other and then answered them.

"Well Detective, he did sound a little strange." The other one said. Monica and Michelle rolled their eyes, they couldn’t believe they had been dragged away from their two men for a false call.

"Well then we won’t know anything if we don’t check it out. You two stay here." Monica said taking out her pistol and Michelle then followed her across the street to the old Bar. The wooden door was closed but Monica first knocked on it when it opened by itself. Michelle then signalled her as the two Detectives entered the building. The two officers still hid behind the swat car, guns drawn and all. They then turned hearing a car approaching. They then saw a blue Corvette pulling up behind the Porche and two men got out, one blonde hair and the other brown. They both walked up to the officers and wondered what they were doing hiding behind a police car.

"You fella’s ok?" Carlos asked in his usual sarcastic way. One of the officers then took a deep breath stood infront of them.

"I’m sorry sir, but your going to have to stand back. This is a police matter." One of them said looking very nervous.

"Yeah we know, is Monica and Michelle in there?" Trent asked them pointing at the Bar. The officer then lost his cool and franktacly started to panic. How did these guys know about the bomb threat. Then raised his pistol and pointed it at Trent and Carlos who only grinned at him.

"Put your arms in the air! Now! You have the right to remain silent!....." But before he could continue Trent slitely turned to the side and then like lightning grabbed the officers gun from him.

"And you have the right to shut up!" Carlos said, the other officer starting to panic too.

"Guys it’s ok! We’re friends of Detective Monica and Michelle!" Trent told them, trying to calm them down.

"And we’re not going to hurt you." Trent said handing the officers his gun back, he took it from him and put his back in it’s carry case on his side.

"Well, the um Detectives headed in there. They think it just might be a false alarm." The other one said stepping closer. They all them glared at the building, but were strucken when a huge explosion rocked the area. Trent, Carlos and the officers been flung a few feet back. Once on the ground Trent looked up at the burning building.

"Monica." Whispered Trent in shock. He then saw the look in Carlos’s face as the two men jumped to their feet and started running towards the building.

"Call an ambulance, Now!"Carlos yelled back to the shocked officers who were still getting up from the ground. Trent covered his face of the hot burning flames, there door was totally burned and there was no way to get inside. They then had to step back a few steps as the flames grew worse, they kept looking for a way inside, and soon after they heard the fire truck approaching the area. Some of the firemen stepped closer trying to get Trent and Carlos out of the way. But they refused to leave, they had to find Monica and Michelle.

"No wait! My fiancé is still in there!" Trent said trying to get loose of the firemen who was holding him, tyring to drag him back. Carlos then stepped in and tried to get Trent loose.

"Let him go! Let him go!" Carlos said getting Trent loose, the fireman then helped the other bring out the huge hose to get the flames out. Trent and Carlos stood there as the building kept burning. Four firemen then got the door cleared and made their way inside. After a few minutes of almost going on the verge of panicking, the two PI’s saw a figure appearing out of the blazing flames, and saw two women being helped out of the building by the firemen. Trent and Carlos immediately ran closer and hugged Monica and Michelle who were still coughing the smoke out of their lungs and were almost black.

"O thank God! Are you ok?" Trent asked Monica holding her face in his hands, Monica then just smiled at him through her dirty little face.

"I’m fine!" She said and Trent hugged her tight again.

Carlos also making sure that Michelle was ok.

"What happened?" Carlos asked them confused at how they had come out of there alive.
