And Shepherds we shall be

For thee, my Lord, for thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti

The two men prayed as they aimed there silenced desert eagles to back of the man's head. The moment they finished the prayer they pulled the triggers simultaneously the bullets crossing and exiting his eye sockets. As the man's body fell to the floor the killers placed a coin over each eye for his passage to the afterlife.

So I was on a break from Don, I liked him I really did, but he'd already lost two women he really cared for and due to this I felt he was smothering me. Wanting to protect me all the damn time. Be the one to go first in case some crazed psycho tried to kill me. I was far too independent for that kind of bullshit. Don ag teastáil i ndáiríre a thabhairt dom mo spás. I was glad that Niks and Danny were getting along famously and me and Don did outside of work, most of the time, but during work not so much. Plus I didn't think Angel's visits and calls were making things easier. I didn't care for Angel like I did Don, but he was as good as family. I was sat in Lily O'Brien's Chocolate Café for my morning ritual. I needed a Salted Lily to kick start my day when my cell went off.

"Lieutenant Lake,"

"Hey Lee, we got a homicide in Hell's Kitchen, 46th street."

"OK Don I'll be there as soon as." I got my Salted Lily to go and headed on out there. There wasn't much to report when the CSI's finally turned up. "Dead guys D'Angelo Bianchi, he's a known Italian runner, does all the shitty jobs for the Italian Mafia. Only problem is, he's been killed in the Westie's area. The shit is going to hit the fan pretty quick Niks." I told her as she walked towards us hand in hand with Danny. She looked like she had just woken up which wouldn't surprise me.

"This is looking like a gang war Danny." I rolled my eyes hardly a gang war when there was only one body. But if Don wanted to think it was that then he could.

"Well this should be interesting. What else have we got?" Danny asked as Niks yawned. I really hope she hadn't had another nightmare.

"Right now, nothing. No witness's or no one that is going to admit they seen anything. And no weapon, no camera's we got diddly squat." I sighed pocketing my notebook. Niks and Danny got to work as me and Don left to go talk to nearby businesses.

"Hey Lee we good?" Don asked walking beside me.

"Sure Don why wouldn't we be?"

"Well it's just…" I knew he was going to bring up Angel and whether me and him (Don) were dating.

"Look Don I like you, but I can not deal with you shadowing me constantly when we're on cases. And then there's the whole jealousy over mine Angel's friendship."

"I'm not jealous, I just don't understand why you two need to talk to each other all the time." He sighed exasperated.

"Because he's one of my best friends, he's like a brother to me and he's still trying to get over the death of his mother." I glared at him. Why couldn't he understand this? "Look we'll talk later we got a case to solve you take the store I'll take the bar."

"Lee we should," I held up my hand as this was exactly what I meant.

"No Don I'll take the bar and you the store, end of." I said walking away from him and into O'Flatherty's Ale House. I walked in and all eyes turned to me, but seeing it was me they turned back round. I did notice two guys that didn't turn to look though. I said I'd take the bar as I came he frequently just to get away from Don and everything.

"Jimmy," I said sitting down on a bar stool.

"Lake little early for you isn't it?" I smiled at him.

"5pm somewhere Jimmy, but I ain't here to drink." I move my jacket slightly to show my badge meaning I was on a case.

"Oh bout that dead body, nothing to tell ya Lake. Sorry ghile." As he said it his eyes wander to the two guys that hadn't turned as I walked in. I had never seen them before they were definitely new. They paid little attention to what was going on around them just talking in hushed tones. Looking over them they were brothers, about the same age early thirty's maybe, dirty blonde hair and icy blue eyes. One had a thin tache and the other was clean shaven. The one with the tache looked up at me our eyes meeting a small smile curling his lips. I smiled back lightly he was a good looking guy after all. I shouldn't think like that as they could be persons of interest, but a girl could appreciate a fine looking man as long as she didn't touch. My shot up as Niks walked in.

"Lee, cagna che diavolo sta succedendo con voi e Don?" I walked over to her grabbing her arm.

"Niks this is an Irish fucking bar do you see how these guys are looking at you right now? And what the hell did you just say?"

"What is going on with you and Don?" I rolled my eyes at her and pulled her to the bar, Jimmy knew as I had told him, he was good guy Jimmy and as a bar tender he tended to lend is ear for anyone who needed to vent their frustrations.

"Nothing, he's crowding me and this jealousy over me and Angel is crazy. Yes I get he lost Jess and Aiden, but I'm not them I can't deal with him getting in front of me and trying to protect me. I don't need it. I," I stopped as I saw the new guys get up from their table. The guy with tache looking over and smiled before walking out. My eyes didn't leave the door. If Niks hadn't have come in when she did I may have been able to talk with them. I snapped back to what was being said when I heard Niks cursing in Italian under her breath.

"Listening now?" I nodded. "Don is only doing it because he cares about you, a lot."

"So what Niks? He carries on and I'm not going to be just annoyed with him, but I'm going to end up hating him." I saw Jimmy pick something up from the table the two guys had sat at.

"Well the way you keeping glancing at that table and the door where those two guys just left, I'd say you've already moved on from Don, so tell him don't string him along."

"I'm not and I don't know them Nicola," She cut across me annoyed with me as I'd used her proper name.

"Right, I know you spend a lot of down time in this bar and you expect me to believe you don't know them?"

"No I don't know them, they're new and I actually thought they may have some information on our homicide, but you brought your Iodáilis ass up in here and they left. I bit my lip I shouldn't have snapped like that at her. "Nikki I'm sorry I," She cut across me boring in holes into me.
