hey, i got this idea while watch grimm season 3. They never told us why Eric went to so much trouble to capture one grimm. This story continues through the 3rd season with my own story line. Includes all the grimm characters with my own OCs.

Chapter 1

Parking his jeep outside of his and Juliette's house, Nick quickly jogged through the lawn. The rain was beginning to pour buckets on Portland, with cold autumn breeze sweeping the ground. A quick look at the garage showed him that his girlfriend was not yet home. Not a surprise considering the unusual number of terrible animal attacks which had been reported throughout the day. It seemed all the animals had chosen to go rabid at once.

After taking a quick hot shower Nick changed into a pair of loose pants and a t-shirt. Then he remembered he hadn't eating anything since morning. It seems to happen so often since his encounter with Baron Samedi and coming back from the dead. He could survive for a far longer period without food or water than considered natural. But it didn't mean he should walk down that path. Going through the refrigerator he soon found a dish filled with the leftovers of yesterday's lasagne. He sat down on the comfy couch in front of the TV with plate filled with food and a coke.

He had half fallen asleep while watching a CSI recap episode when his phone began to ring. Looking at the caller ID he was surprise to see the name of the caller. Why would his Captain and the resident Royal in Portland Sean Renard call him in the middle of the night? He and Captain had grown closer after the recent events with removing Adalind's spell and their own Walking Dead deluxe episode. But something still made Nick reluctant as to fully trust the man. He wondered if it had something to do with him being a half-Zauberbiest. But then, he didn't think that Grimms entirely trusted Royals in the past either and vise-versa.

Hank was already at the crime scene with Captain Renard when he arrived. They said they had already seen the bodies but accompanied him back in to the lavish grand suite of the Centurion hotel. It was hard looking at both of them, and not openly talk about the side story with which they knew this crime was connected. Another Royal in Portland, What, were they going to turn Portland into their favorite vacation destination?

Smell of death overpowered his keen Grimm sensors even before he walked into the richly furnished bedroom of the suite. Crimson blood was spattered on every available surface with two bodies laying on the pricy carpet. One by the bed and another by the tall windows. It seems the royal who had occupied this room or her bodyguards had given a hell of a fight to the intruders.

"So what do we know about this royal?" Nick murmured Hank in a as he handed him the wallet and a mobile phone they had found in one of the dead intruder's pocket. It was empty except for a few hundred dollars, not that he expected to find an ID card in it with something that say Verrat. The phone was an easily disposable ancient cheep Nokia with only one contact number.

It was Captain Renard who answered his question. "We know it's a she by the video tapes and a few cloths she had left behind. The identification details she'd given when checking into the hotel turned out to be fake. And apparently she's here alone with no guards.

"Why would a Royal come to your Canton alone? I thought you guys had some rules about visiting other royal's Canton." Nick asked checking the head wound the thug had received from the royal woman. The weapon of death seemed to be something heavy yet not sharp.

"We do, but they don't stop many from trespassing. We must find this Royal before the people who sent these thugs does. I don't want blood of another royal to be forced on my hands after what happened with Eric. They don't know anything about my hand in his death but some might get ideas if something happened to her."

"Didn't your spy tell you anything about the identity of the royal?"

"No, he only said that a member from the royal families would be visiting my Canton soon."

Nick's face darkened when he stared to see the whole thing in a different angle. "What if Eric had told other royals about me, what if that's why this royal is here?"

"Nick, do you think a royal would come here alone to kidnap you if they knew Eric couldn't succeed doing it with a fleet of goons. Besides I don't think Eric would have told anyone about you, that's not the way the members of our family work."

They had to stop their conversation there as Wu walked closer to them with a plastic evidence bag containing a small silver key.

"Found this on the floor next to the safe, it seems our lady had dropped it when she was leaving in a hurry." Wu said in his usual neutral voice.

"Looks like a key of a Safe Deposit Box." Hank injected his idea while examining the key.

"Yeah, but it has no mark to say which bank it belongs to." Nick muttered. he stuffed his hands in the back pockets of his jeans and stalked to the window. Boy, was he getting tired of investigations regarding the Wesen world?

"We might need to find out what's in that locker. Wu, have a team of two check all the backs in Portland to find out which locker this key belongs to." Captain Renard ordered sergeant Wu with a commanding voice which Nick knew had been bred in to his bones since birth.

"Aye, aye Captain." Wu said with a fake salute and strolled back to the guys from the forensics department.

"God I wish I could joke when I'm in a crime scene." Hank said with a shake of his head.

"One Wu is enough for this Precinct, mate. No need to give him a twin." Nick muttered with his eyes glued to the bewitching sight of nighttime Portland through the window.
