It's not as bad of a cliffhanger as the last one, but I still really want to know what they decide to do.

Last update guys-thanks for reading and commenting throughout!
Keith turned back to the object of his hatred “Whatever it is, I’m sure we can get it for you.” Joley struggled unsuccessfully to get away. Keith shook his head slightly, telling her with his eyes not to fight him “All I want is to get out of here with the drive.” The man said, his eyes wild, his breathing now erratic. “I’m sure that we can arrange that.” Keith’s eye darted to one of Paul’s men moving in behind the man, who noticed it at the same time. “I said I will blow her head off!” he said pressing the gun further into Joley’s head causing her to cry out. That was all it took “Joley” he said firmly enough to grab her attention. Words weren’t necessary for what happened next. Looking in his eyes, she nodded and went limp just as a shot rang out. Keith’s hand was steady as he lowered the smoking gun. It didn’t matter in that instance that he’d never fired a weapon, all that mattered was that the woman that he loved was safe in his arms. He looked on as one of Paul’s men took on the lame job of making sure that a bullet between the eyes killed the gunman. “I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere.” He chuckled sarcastically to Keith. “Joley?” she turned at the sound of her brother’s voice “OMG Conner, are you ok?” she hugged her brother tightly, aware of the wound at his shoulder. “I’m ok, I’m ok, I’m just sorry that I dragged you into this whole mess.” “Oh it’s not your fault Conner you can’t control the actions of others.” “Thank you for taking care of her; And for saving her.” Conner turned to shake Keith’s hand. “No problem, I’m just sorry that it started with me kidnapping her.” He chuckled. “I told you I’m fine, now let me go!” They all turned to see Rebecca fighting off EMT’s. Keith laughed; his sister always had been one with her own mind. “KEITH!” she squealed, launching herself into his arms. Trying to keep himself from falling over he said “Hey kiddo, how are you? Are you ok?” “I’m fine, now that you’re here-I knew that you’d come for me.” Tears now streamed down her face. He held her tight as he realized nothing could have stopped him from going after his sister. “I hate to break this up, but you all are going to have to come in with us and make a statement.” Paul said interrupting the reunion. “Of course” Keith said turning to him. “How’s the Senator?” Joley asked the Dr. in her kicking in. “He’s ok, but as soon as the EMT’s get done patching him up, we’re going to be hauling him in.” Shaking her head, she said “That’s so sad.” “What’s going to happen to Sandy?” Conner asked watching his former friend being carted off in handcuffs. “She’s going away for a long time, unless she pleads temporary insanity.” “Did she say why she did it?” Paul shook his head “She was just so blinded by rage and grief that she’d do anything to get back at Senator Briggs, including getting him killed-did you know he was on that list?” he asked Conner. Conner shook his head “No I didn’t really read the whole thing, just realized what it was, and well you know the rest from there.” “Unfortunately, well let’s go and get your statements so you all can get the heck out of here.” Once they were free to go, Keith and Joley sat outside FBI headquarters; the silence was almost deafening. “Well thanks again for saving me, and Conner for that matter.” She said “Nothing you wouldn’t have done for me.” “True, except I wouldn’t have kidnapped you at crowbar point.” This made him chuckle. “Forgive me?” “Yeah I guess” she said with a laugh. “Thanks; Listen Joley-“ “Keith!” Rebecca came running up “What is it?” he asked concerned. “I talked to mom and dad and we’re on the next flight out, which means we have to go right now. Thank you again” she said to Joley and Conner, who’d just walked up. “Well I-“ Keith started to say when Conner interrupted him “We should get going too Joley, I want you to get some proper sleep.” Nodding she looked at Keith and Rebecca and said “I guess this is goodbye, good luck to both of you.” That began all of the thank yous and goodbyes and before they knew it they were headed in different directions; Rebecca and Keith to the airport, and Joley and Conner to the nearest hotel. Weeks passed and things got back to normal for Joley; well as normal as could be expected given her ordeal. She was grateful on some level, because it had brought her and Conner closer together. They met for lunch at least once a week now; matter of fact she’d just come from meeting him. He’d been concerned that she hadn’t gotten passed what had happened to her. What he didn’t realize was that what she hadn’t gotten passed was Keith. At first she’d figured that it was the circumstances that they’d been thrown into. Especially that last day when they’d said goodbye. She’d forgiven him for taking her at crow bar point, to which he’d laughed and said thank you. He’d been going to say something else when Rebecca walked up and told him about their flight. She thanked Joley and Conner for everything, and before she knew it, Keith was gone. To this day she wondered what he would have said if Rebecca and Conner hadn’t walked up. ‘Guess I’ll never know’ she thought to herself as she walked into her office. “Dr. Masterson?” her receptionist Caroline interrupted her thoughts “Yes Caroline?” “While you were at lunch, a gentleman came in looking for you, and I told him that you were at lunch, but he insisted on waiting, so he’s in your office.” “Thank you Caroline, I’ll take care of it.” Heading to her office, she wondered-could it really be him? She got her answer when she got to her doorway and was greeted by the back of a blonde head examining her framed diplomas. “I can guarantee that they’re real.” She said startling him. Turning he chuckled “I don’t doubt that in the least-remember I’ve seen you in action. So how’ve you been?” “Ok” she said as she walked in and dropped her briefcase on one of the chairs “and Conner? How’s he?” “Conner’s fine, Keith what is this all about?” she had to get to the bottom of this. “What’s what about?” “This” she said gesturing at him “You flying half way across the country-I’m sure it’s not for a consultation.” “Well actually I do need to consult with you, you are a Dr. right?” “Yes, what’s wrong?” “Well I’ve been having these chest pains.” “Chest pains? Where? For how long?” she started to grab for her medical bag. Grabbing her hand, he stopped her and put her hand right over where his heart was. “Right here” he said looking into her eyes. Realization finally hit her. “Oh really?” “Yes really, you see I think that part of my heart is missing, and being a Dr., would you say that that is healthy?” She shook her head “So then what are we going to do about that?” “I think I have just the thing.” She said as she kissed him.
