"Gail."

"Steve."

"Please Gail."

"Don't you please Gail me. You got me into this mess."

"I know and now I'm trying to get you out of it."

"Mom mustn't be too happy with you."

"She's not but I'm trying to fix it. Please Gail, if you won't do it for me, will you do it for Traci." Gail shakes her head. "For Leo?"

Gail scrunches her face. "Oh, alright."

"Thank you. Now head home and pack some stuff before it's too late."

About a half hour later Gail returns to the station. Steve sees her and grabs her elbow to help bring her to a conference room, not wanting to let her change her mind. "Here, give me your IDs, gun, badge, and I'll lock them up for you and you can get them back when you return. Don't forget everything you've learned. You may need it, good luck sister."

Gail rolls her eyes at her brother and enters the room alone. She sees there's already a man waiting for her behind the desk. "I'm Claude Steel, please take a seat. You are officially Gail Peck no more. Your identity has been compromised. You are now Gladys Gilbert from Moonbeam, Ontario. This is all for your protection. You did nothing wrong. There are dangerous people out there who want to harm you and will try to harm you."

"Ok that's enough, I know what happened. I was there. Can I just get my new IDs and keys and I'll head out to wherever it is you said I was going."

"Normally we go through..."

"Yeah yeah yeah. I'll be fine. Thanks for the new name." With that Gail exits the room.

Steve sees her and heads over. "That was fast."

"Nothing you and I haven't heard before."

"I'm sorry Gail."

Gail, starting to get a little angry with all the apologizing, shrugs her shoulders. "Whatever." She then looks Steve straight in his eyes. "I'm giving you six months, tops, to fix everything so I can come home."

Steve nods his head. "Fine that should be plenty of time. Stay safe."

"Yeah, you too." With that Gail leaves the station to start making her trek to Moonbeam, Ontario.

Claude leaves the conference room and stands next to Steve. "Thank you for doing this. How did she take the news about not being alone?"

"I didn't get to that part."

"She's in for a surprise then." Steve shakes his head. "I need to fix this. I can't believe I let this happen."

"If there's anything else I can do to help, just call." The two shake hands and part ways.


Across town a similar conversation is unfolding. "Why do I need to go away, I'm just a doctor?"

"Unfortunately they know who you are and will try to get to you before you can cause them anymore damage."

"Me cause them damage? How? I was just doing my job…" Holly puts her face in her hands.

"And we thank you for all the work you have done. Right now we need to keep you safe and in order to do that we have decided the best option is to get you out of the city for a while. Lucky for you an officer who was made undercover also needs to escape, so she will be joining you." A slight pause. "May I continue with the formalities?" Holly nods her head. "You are officially Holly Stewart no more; you are now Heather Gilbert from Moonbeam, Ontario. We have set up bank accounts in your name as well as a house, job, car, and here are your new driver's license and health cards. We will have some documents waiting for you at the new house to get you better acquainted with the town and yourself. You are expected to lay low and act as if this new life is your life and blend in."

Holly continues to nod as she is bombarded with information. After the specifics are taken care of Holly asks, "How long will I be gone for?"

"We've been told no longer than six months."

"Six months! I am expecting some very important news this month."

"I'm sorry to inconvenience you, but this is for your own safety. Anything you had planned or are planning to do will have to be put on hold, for the next little while at least."

Holly shakes her head. "I can't go. I need to stay here. I will be fine. I can take care of myself."

"Sorry but this is no longer something you can control. You are headed to Moonbeam."

Clearly not impressed, Holly picks up her new IDs and keys, and heads out the door to be driven to the airport.


After an hour and a half flight, Holly exits the airport in Moonbeam and quickly finds the car that is now hers. She gets behind the wheel and makes her way to her new house. After getting turned around a couple of times, she eventually finds the right address and parks out front. She grabs her purse and gym bag, not knowing this morning she would have to leave so abruptly, and walks up the path to a single dwelling house. She gets out the key and unlocks the front door and walks inside. Out of habit from living in the big city she locks the door behind her. She walks into a furnished living room which leads to the kitchen and a sliding door that looks out on the backyard. Holly continues to survey the house as she checks out the main floor then takes the stairs to the second story. She is pleased to see the master bedroom with an en suite as well as a guest room/study and an additional bathroom upstairs. She makes her way back downstairs and heads out back to check out the yard. While examining the yard she creates a list of things to do in her head: go grocery shopping, read the documents on the kitchen table, and not freak out.


After nine hours of continuous driving, besides the occasional stop, Gail finally makes it to Moonbeam. She pulls into the driveway and looks up at the house. "Not bad," she mumbles. She grabs her bag and makes her way to the front door. She unlocks the door and heads in. She sees a living room, kitchen, closet, bathroom, and nods her head in approval. She opens what she thinks is an additional closet but is surprised to see stairs to a basement. She goes down to check it out. There's another living space along with a washer and dryer and other utilities. She heads back upstairs and goes to the first floor to look at the bedroom. She once again gives a nod of approval and makes her way back downstairs.


After returning from shopping Holly stocked the fridge and cupboards. She read over the various documents, she then went back outside to nap in the summer sun. Holly, having already found her new favourite spot in the back yard, decides to head inside to get started on dinner. She enters the house just as a blonde is making her way into the kitchen.


Gail, immediately on alert, goes to draw her service weapon, but forgets it's no longer there. She remembers Steve has it. Steve. She shoots the newcomer a death glare and demands "What are you doing here? How did you get in here?"

Holly holds up her hands. "I live here," Holly looks at Gail confused. "I was wondering when you would get here. I arrived almost seven hours ago. I was honestly starting to get a little worried."

"You just got here?"

"Yes, this morning I was in Toronto, but now I live in Moonbeam."

"Why?"

"I'm going to assume a similar situation that brought you here," Holly shrugs.

Gail pauses to think for a second. "Why didn't they tell her she was being paired with someone?" she wonders. Then she remembers she barely sat through the information she was just so frustrated, still is. "Ok, I'm" Gail looks at her hand where she has her new name written on her hand and reads off, "Gladys Gilbert. And you are?"

Holly puts her hands down and says, "I am now Heather Gilbert, but before I was"

"Hold it, I'm having a hard enough time remembering my own name let alone try to remember two of yours. Let's just stick with our new names for now." Gail pauses for a second. "Did you just say Gilbert?" She then notices two wedding rings on the kitchen table next to an opened file folder with sheets of paper.
