Portland,a rainy city where the team decided to settle down,for now anyway. Nate had taken Sophie and Claire on a trip to Paris to get away for a while after he recovered from his injuries and took down the ones who murdered his father. Nate opted that they get a bigger apartment that the three of them can share. He was more open now about his relationship with the grifter and was more accepting of things that were transpiring between the two of them,no doubt about it the man was in love. Sophie was happy,she got to go to Paris and bond with her daughter over shopping and sightseeing,not to mention more time spent with Nate. Claire had finally settled in and had just turned thirteen before their move to Portland. Much to her protest her parents had put her into a private school and was forced to wear a uniform that she hated. All in all she was happy,she had Eliot training her how to fight and Hardison teaching her how to use her phone in ways she had no idea she could. Then there was Parker much to her parents disapproval,was teaching her how to jump off of buildings and pick pocket. The three others settled in perfectly fine as well.

Parker had the tall ceilings of the brewery to test out her new gear and Hardison has turned the place into a high tech machine,literally. Eliot of course took over the kitchen and had Amy helping with the Patrons. They had no client meetings until later in the day so they took the morning off,Claire had left for school already and by the time afternoon came her parents finally made it out of bed. Nate was standing in the kitchen as Sophie came behind him wrapping her arms around him.

"Good morning Handsome,or should I say afternoon?"

Turning around in her arms he brought his arms around her smiling as he laid gentle kisses along her jawline. "Afternoon,morning who cares." he said pulling away from her to smile.

"Keep that up and we will end up missing our meeting with the client." She grinned lightly watching a matching grin form on his face.

"Don't give me any ideas Sophie." He laughed lightly at the front door opened and Claired walked in rolling her eyes.

"Seriously? I do not want to see my parents making out when I Get home from school,talk about being scarred for life."

Nate grins letting Sophie go as he leans on the counter staring at his daughter. "Seriously? like I want to hear my daughter complaining when I get up in the afternoon."

"Very funny Dad." tossing her back pack on the couch she disappeared into her room to change out of her uniform. "When is the client meeting?"

Sophie grins watching the two of them,they seemed to be in a staring contest as blue matching eyes stared at each other. "Enough you two." She says with a smiling forming over her lips.

"He started it."

"I did no such thing."

Shaking her head she grabs her jacket."Come on before we are late." Nate and Claire both followed her out the door as Nate drives to the brewery.

"Can I stay for the meeting?" Claire asks as they walk into the back of the brewery.

"No this time kiddo." Nate says pointing to a desk for her to do her homework at.

"But dad,you said-" He cut her off.

"I said if you got your homework done.

"Mom?"

"Hey,don't drag me into this,it's your agreement with your father." Sophie watched as the thirteen year old gave a pout.

"Not this time Claire,do your homework." Nate said as the two disappeared into the front of the pub to deal with their client.

"Homework huh?" Parker's voice sounded but Claire couldn't see her.

"Parker?" She asked looking around.

"Up here." She said as she descended from the rafters landing on the table next to Claire.

While Nate and Sophie were dealing with the client Parker kept Claire company while she did her homework. "I have something,I think I should show mom and dad but I might get in trouble."

Grinning Parker gave the girl a look. "Report card?" She asked as Claire nodded.

"I got an F in art,of all subjects,mom is going to kill me."

"Why am I going to kill you?" Sophie asked as the two came back into the room.

"Well,that's my cue." Parker said taking her leave.

"Here." Claire handed the report to Sophie who handed it to Nate.

"Art? Claire you got an F in art?" Sophie asked looking to Nate.

"And she has a D in history." His blue eyes moved to his daughter who knew she was in trouble.

"I'm sorry,they aren't my strongest subjects." She looked down.

"You know the rules,no going out with your friends after school,it's straight home and homework only." Nate said as Sophie nodded in agreement.

"But,I was going to go to Jenna's party,you said I can go."

"We said that before you got the F,no more arguing or it's no computer and cell phone too." Sophie said beating Nate to it.

"This is so unfair." Claire said in a growl that sounded like Eliot's making her parents smile slightly.

Later that night Nate had helped Claire with her history homework while Sophie was upstairs doing something that she didn't want the other two to know about. It took nearly thirty minutes for her to grasp the concept of her work before she finally finished her homework and called it a night. Turing the lights out downstairs Nate climbed the steps to find Sophie in their room sitting on the edge of the bed. Coming into the room he sat next to her placing an arm around her,he could tell something was wrong but kept quiet letting her take her time.

"Nate I have something to tell you." She said looking to him with a strange look he's never seen before.

"Soph,what's wrong?" He asked as he began to rub her back in a soothing manner.

"Mom,Dad..I need to show you something." Holding a piece of paper in her hands Claire stood in the door way.

"Another report card?" Nate asked as Sophie's demeanor changed as soon as clear stepped into the room.

"No,Trevor." At the mention of the name Nate stood up moving to her taking the note from her.

"When did you get this?" He asked staring at her his eyes full of worry and concern.

"What is it?" Sophie asked as she came to his side.

"Princess,I haven't forgotten about you or what your father did to my friend. Remember that pony and puppy,I bought them for you. You just have to come and see them,I will get you and your parents for everything that you put me through. I'll see you soon Princess." Nate read off the note as Sophie's eyes widened.

"Nate,what are we going to do?" She asked a he stared down at the paper.

"We wait for him to show his face." He said with determined look in his eyes,this time to keep his family safe and to get Trevor once and for all.

[A/N:Just to get everything started,I bet you are wondering what Sophie had to tell Nate,aren't you. Ah,no no,don't lie I know you were wondering. Don't worry,I promise to tell you soon. No,I do. Seriously I do. Lol,any way that is your introduction,a bit on the family oriented side but trust me just like with Part one it will become action packed and dramatic. Hope you enjoy it so far :)]
