Hello guys! This is my first fanfic so please go easy on me. ^_^ I've had this idea for a while and I'm just too lazy to write it down but since it is summer I decided to finally write it down. I completely got addicted to BBC's Sherlock and got the idea from The Reichenbach Fall. So here it is!

Disclaimer: I do not own 39 Clues or any of these things except for the idea.


A hot day today. she thought. The air-con is on full blast yet sweat trickled down her skin. The sun was shining furiously bright. The cab came to a halt. She looked at the meter. Grabbing some cash from her bag, she handed it to the taxi driver. Thanked him and walked towards the entrance. When she stepped inside the cemetery, she felt cold slowly crept across her body. She felt cold and alone because she really was alone. She walked slowly among graves of dead people she had no idea about their identity. Only the tapping of her shoes was heard.

Amy saw the familiar curve down the stoned path and entered the garden. She was welcomed by the scent of different flowers. Flowers of all sorts and colors bloomed elegantly. It was funny that even though there's a beautiful garden in the cemetery it still looks sad. She walked and found herself still alone. She sat on the grass. Took some flowers from her bag and laid in on the grave in front of her.

Evan Tolliver
19XX-20XX

"Hey, Evan. I miss you. So much." She struggled against the silence as she tried to find words. She was never really good at striking up conversations. Well, she grew up like a sociopath, avoiding everyone. Suddenly, the sun shone. She looked up. The once cold looking cemetery became brighter and more alive. How ironic.

She smiled. "Evan, you bastard. I'm fine. It's still the same. College is fine. Nothing new. No problems there. Not that there's really no problems. It's just that I can handle it."

After a brief silence, she continued. "Well, the others? They're fine, of course. Jonah was still the star that he was. No. Sorry, he became a brighter star. More music. More awards. Even more movies and films to act in. He's all over the world."

"Hamilton will be the leader of the Tomas. 'Will be' because, obviously, his dad is not yet ready to retire from his job. But anyways he will retire and Hamilton will be the next in line."

"I haven't heard much from Sinead. I think she's in the middle of an experiment being an Ekat. So she can't really keep in touch regularly while Ned and Ted are slowly recovering. I don't know how but she told me they're getting better. Maybe it's because of her experiments and inventions. She did love them so much."

"Dan is fine. Still childish. Imagine a grown man with the head of a child. That's Dan. Nellie is helping out Fiske with the Madrigal business which is running fine, by the way."

"Hm, who did I miss? Ah! Ian. That idiot went missing again. He never went to any meetings of ours so we assumed he went missing again. We sent people to look for him but no one found out what he was up to. He's not dead too. We managed to contact a Lucian stronghold. They told us they still receive orders from their leader. I don't know what's been going on in his mind. No one does. Even during the clue hunt..."

The Clue Hunt.

She never thought that the clue hunt would lead to something as close to destroying the world. And it's all because of just one bottle of serum. A serum that can make anyone stronger, quicker and smarter. It can make one's abilities tenfold. A serum that started off as a protection for a man's family. It turned into something that kindled the fire of greed in everyone's heart. Everyone stumbled just to have it in their hands.

It's a good thing the Madrigals were there. The balance. It proved itself to be the balance itself among the branches. It was the one to unite the four rival branches that was once and now one big family. Even the serum needed the Madrigals to stabilize the serum. Without it, one would surely be dead...

Dead.

Natalie's body jerked violently as the electric current shoot throughout her body. Ian screamed and quickly went to his sister's side. He started performing CPR on her but after a few failed attempts. The truth was something Ian could not comprehend, though it was crystal clear.

Natalie Kabra was dead.

Amy saw Evan fall to the ground. Terror rained down on her. Evan was on the ground with blood flowing out of his chest. H managed to open his eyes and smile at her.

"Boy, this sucks, right?"

Pictures of people flashed in her head. People who were both innocent and friends. People who had nothing to do with the Cahill business. People who were once their enemies now their family. People who were killed by the Vespers.

The Vespers...

She inhaled sharply at the thought of just the word. She closed her eyes. She saw the triumphant face of Vesper One as he inserted the last gear into the Doomsday Device. The smug look on his face when the Cahills were outnumbered. The look of terror when he saw Isabel Kabra's supernatural being flowing into the room. They fought vigilantly as the Doomsday Device exploded around them.

"Hey! Amy!"

She felt a hand on both shoulders. She snapped back to reality. She was daydreaming again. More like 'day-nightmaring', if that even existed. She rest her head against her knees. She hugged her knees close to her chest.

"Amy..."

Jake weakened when he saw the crying form of Amy Cahill in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her. He waited until he felt her calm down a bit.

"It's okay, Amy. It's okay. It's all over now." whispered Jake into Amy's ear.

Jake was right. It's over. The Vespers are gone. The world recovered itself from the damage. The Cahills did too as they stayed strong together as a family. The gang was alright. The time of mourning has passed. They need to move on. She needed to move on.

They stayed like that for a moment. She finally pulled away. She looked into his caring eyes. "Thank you." she said to him.

He nodded and then got up and grabbed her stuffs. "I'm going to wait in the car. Just tag along if you're ready to go." He walked away and went to his car.


Jake sat in the driver's seat after putting her things at the back. He felt that she needed time alone so he left. He liked her. Way back then when they were together doing Vesper things. He likes her a lot. He wanted to tell her but he was there. Evan was there. Jake knew he can't interfere with their relationship but he just can't stop liking her. Especially when he saw he had a chance.

Jake picked up a manuscript. "I'm guessing the 'Apology' is written in the margin of one of the manuscript, in Latin."

"That has to be it!" Amy threw her arms around him. Jake pulled her tightly to him...until they both realize what he was doing. They snapped apart as if they had been shocked, but their eyes met again. Amy's face was flaming and even Jake looked a little flushed. They tilted closer and closer together, as if some magnetic force was pulling them. They both leaned, the space between them growing smaller and smaller. And their lips touched.

He opened the glove compartment and grabbed a small box from inside. He opened it. A silver necklace sat inside. He opened it and the lid opened. It was a watch and there's a paper in the lid. He wasn't sure whose picture to put so he just put a quote.

"The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny." - Paulo Coelho

He promised to give that to her when the time comes. When she's ready because he is ready. He just needs to wait and he believes the wait is worth it.


Amy stood in front of Evan's grave. Her eyes a bit swollen from crying. It's a good thing Jake was there to comfort her. He's a good guy but she wasn't ready. Not yet. There are too many things to take care of.

Herself. Dan. The Madrigals. Family.

And that cursed Ian Kabra.

That idiot really has guts. How dare he just walk off like nothing happened? How dare he just walk away from all the problems? He didn't even tell her. Not that he should but he should at least tell someone he was going to suddenly disappear from the face of the earth.

Suddenly out of nowhere, she heard a flutter of wings. She quickly scanned the area. Nothing unusual but a bird wouldn't flutter its wings unless it was agitated or someone surprised it. But there's no one. Not a single soul except for herself. She looked harder for any unnecessary movements or shadows, still nothing. She felt her phone vibrate.

Urgent. We need to go. Attleboro texted. I think they found a lead.
-Jake

She was out of words. She quickly pocketed her phone and did another quick scan. Still, she found no one. Maybe she was just imagining things. Maybe all these reminiscing went to her head that she's hallucinating. With that, she spun on her heels and ran towards the exit.

Jake quickly drove to Attleboro. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Amy kept on shifting in her seat. She was looking out the window with her brows furrowed. She kept on looking at her phone as if it might explode at any second. She became like this as soon as he told her they had a lead on Ian.

"Amy? Are you okay?" Jake asked.

Amy raises her eyebrow in confusion. "Huh? I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You seem very nervous."

"No, I'm not. It's just so hot."

Jake stole a glance at her. Her red face was covered in sweat. Her hair was also messy and tangled with sweat. But her expression was hard to read. It was like a mix of anxiety and anger. She was staring at the window. Her mind far away from where they are now. Clearly it wasn't because of the heat.

It must be because of that Ian Kabra. Who's that guy anyway? I know who he is but who is he to make Amy this nervous? There must be something that I do not know. Jake thought.


He shifted uncomfortably. He cursed under his breath as he saw her scan the area with trained eyes. Why did a bird have to suddenly flutter away from him? Stupid bird!

When he was sure he was alone, he went down the tree. That was close. He was almost spotted. He knew he needed to talk with them but not now. Not yet. It's not yet time. There are things he still needed to do.

To be continued...
