Lyssa starts packing her clothes and gear for her meeting in Connecticut with Vince McMahon Saturday when Jake comes up behind her and hugs her tight.

"I don't want you to leave," he whispers and kisses her cheek.

She sighs and leans into him, "I'm gonna miss you Jake."

"Are you gonna come back like between shows?" he asks.

"No, I'm staying at the hotels along the way. I need to stay as close to Orton as possible. And i can practice more and focus on training and my mission. I can't come back and run patrols and everything while trying to fit gym time in and figure out my plan."

He whimpers and his grip on her tightens, "I hope you find out fast so you can come back."

Lyssa doesn't say anything at first and Jacob notices.

"You don't want to come back?" he asks betrayal lining his heart.

"No of course i want to come back. But i have a feeling once i get started, I'm gonna want to keep wrestling. Come back between shows you know and use wolf everyday and some training and see you. I just don't think I'll want to quit," she says.

"I understand, at least you would be around, just leave for a few days come back," he picks up some of her clothes and helps her pack.

They finish jamming her stuff in then head outside for her last patrol before she leaves. They race to Sam's house to fetch Jared for the border patrol and make it to Sam's house panting. Jake looks over at Lyssa and whispers, "Dammit stop panting, it's turning me on."

She laughs and shoves him playfully as Jared comes out.

"Ah the happy werewolf couple," he laughs. "Ready you two?"

"Sure sure," they reply laughing and transform.

The three run around their borders finding nothing once again and report back to Sam.

Everyone is waiting outside Lyssa and Jake's house as she carries her suitcases out to load her truck. She's then bombarded by her wolfen family and friends.

"Come on guys," she says smiling, "I'm not dying, I'm just on a mission, and i happen to get to do something I've always dreamed of."

"We know," Seth says his lip quivering, "But we're gonna miss ya!" He holds onto her waist tight as Collin and Brady fight to get their turn to hug her. After they finish their fight Jared and Embry come up to hug her goodbye, followed by Paul who is trying to pretend he doesn't care but is failing as tears drip down his cheek. Next Kim and Emily her her tightly whispering goodbye and good luck. Then Leah steps up and merely acknowledges she's there and mumbles a goodbye. Next Sam comes up pulling her into a embrace.

"You can do this we're counting on you! You're like my lil sis ya know that?" he asks, "My tough, pain in the ass little sister." He grins and pats her on the back, "Go get em wolfy."

Lastly is Jake standing to the side trying to keep in the tears. He hugs her tight refusing to let go. Embry and Sam pry him off her and she leans forward to kiss him.

"Bye Jake," she whispers.

"Bye," comes out of his mouth sounded broken. "I love you."

Lyssa freezes for a moment before turning back around, "I love you too."

She climbs into her truck and is about ready to leave when Jake comes up to the window.

"That Randy guy better not try to hit on you," he says trying to grin, "Cause if he does i'll have to kick his ass."

She laughs and replies, "I only got eyes for you my wolfy."

She doesn't know how wrong she is.
