I slid from Josh and curled up next to him on the bed in the motel we'd stopped in. His arms comfortably wrapping around my naked form.

"Its good to get a break from the old fart and B." I moved my head to kiss his neck.

"It does, shame we had to work though we could of had lots more fun." I said running my hand over his chest and scars.

I'd been with Josh almost two years. Blade really trusted him now and Whistler, well he was Whistler a bad tempered old coot, but he knew what he was doing. But with the trust Josh had gained came more responsibility. More and more vampires were popping up all over the country. We'd been sent out to clean house in Chicago. It had gone easily enough and as we'd done it so quick we decided to have ourselves a little break Josh and I. I was just starting to drift off when both mine and Josh's cells started beeping. I grabbed mine as Josh complained about having no peace and time to ourselves. As I opened the message my heart skipped a beat. It was an alert saying HQ had been discovered and was under attack.

"Shit! Josh get up and get dressed now!" I shouted scrambling from the bed and yanking my clothes on.

"Summer? What's happened?" He asked pulling on his clothes.

"The base, someone's found it. We got to get to Blade."

We drove nonstop and got there the next night. What we found didn't bode well. I stepped from the car in silence, I couldn't believe it. I ended up crouching hugging my knees. The place was burnt to the ground. Well more than likely Whistler had blown the place up, it was the first thing he did if we moved to new premises, rig it so if we were discovered it would blow. Question was? Did Blade and Whistler get out before it blew? I felt breathless, like someone had knocked my legs out from under me. Everything we had worked so hard for was gone, just like that.

"Summer…" Josh crouched beside me wrapping his arms round me. But I knew we couldn't linger, police tape was still up and we couldn't risk getting caught we had to carry on the fight. That is once we found out if they were dead or not. "Come on, we need a computer and then I can hack the police system see if they have them." I nodded and stood with Josh getting back in the car.

We sat in an internet café Josh doing his thing with the computer as I sipped my coffee. At first when they sent us to Chicago I wasn't happy about it. I protested, we never split like this before and I didn't think we should start now, but Blade and Whistler insisted. Then I thought of the alone time me and Josh could have. We would actually be alone, no chance of Blade or Whistler walking on us.

"Summer…Summer Blade's alive." I smiled thank god we just had to hook up with him and it would all be ok.

"What about Whistler? If Blade's alive then," But I caught the look on Josh's face.

"No…he was shot by some of the agents and then he got caught in the blast. Damn." There was no time to mourn; we needed to get Blade out of FBI custody.

"Where are they keeping Blade? He'll be allowed a lawyer." I still remembered my law studies, after all before Deacon I had been training to become a lawyer.

I dressed primly in a trouser business suit, my hair up tightly in a bun, with understated make up. Josh said he barely recognised me and that's what I was hoping for. If the FBI knew what I looked like the last thing I wanted was to be caught by them right there. I walked up to the reception desk and flashed a pass.

"I'm Dana Willows, I represent the man you know as Blade. I suggest you allow me through to him or I'll have you up on breach of his human rights." I didn't miss a beat. Two guys, clearly FBI agents walked in.

"Well you can't lady,"

"Really? I think you find that by law he is entitled to a representative and I am it. So let me see my client." I snapped my voice ice cold.

"He isn't here. Dr Vance took him to the nut house."

"What? Where, I demand you tell me right now. You had no right in allowing my client to be taken before being allowed legal counsel!" The other agent shrugged as if to say tough luck.

"He's been taken to County Psychiatric." I turned on my heel and marched out to the car down the street. I slid in next to Josh and pulled my hair from its bun.

"Something's not right here. He's been taken to a psychiatric facility. That should never have been allowed. We got to move. Remember there were rumours about vampires involved, patients missing."

"Shit, B could be in serious trouble. Gears in the back you change I'll drive." I nodded and slid into the back and started putting on some proper clothes.

"Got a feeling the FBI agents that were there aren't involved, they seemed pretty pissed that Blade had been taken. Nor did they give a shit if his human rights were being violated." Josh laughed. "What? What's so funny?"

"That you're actually worried about B's human rights."

"Bite me." I grumbled.

"Anywhere you want baby." I smacked him upside the head and climbed back up front. As we pulled on to the street I noticed a man and a woman about our age, both armed and heading stealthily on to the premises.

"Whoa, park here. Keep an eye on them."

"Hey you think they be like the back up?" I looked at Josh confused.

"I saw something in one of gramps computer files about back-up, like what you call…sleeper cells or something. You think that's them? If they all got the message that HQ had been blown then,"

"Then they would assume we're dead too and Blade is all on his own." Josh nodded pleased with himself. I leaned over and kissed him. "We'll just wait and see if they come out, give them half an hour if they ain't back I'm going in."
