August 2003

Over the past months Megan and Don had a happy start of their marriage and megan has started to accept the fact that Victoria has passed away. She still has her moments where she cries about her sister. But other than that she is OK. Don loves his wife but he also knows that she is pushing herself too hard because she wants to follow the family rules of becoming pregnant within the first year of marriage. "Megan honey it will come eventually." "When?" "Your young. Just give it time and stop pushing yourself so hard. I love you no matter what." "I love you too Don but that is what my mother taught us. We should not be dissapointed when our husband leaves us because we are not pregnant or do not already have a baby after a year of marriage." "Megan are you worried that I might leave you?" "Yes." "I will never leave you. I love you now matter what. You hear me?" "Yeah." "Good. So have yourself a break." "Ok." They go for a walk afterwards. Don does everything he can to ensure her that he really loves her and that he would never leave her. But she will still need time to be able to believe that after her mother had pressured her and her sisters so hard.

Zwo weeks later Megan´s parents come by and Megan´s mother starts the topic. "Megan so when will you give us a grandchild?" "I do not know mom. When the time is right I guess." "You have a duty Megan." The doorbell rings and Megan opens it. It is Colby and David. Megan leads them into the livingroom and Don says. "Colby and David what con we do for you?" "Look at the case file and tell me." Don and Megan look at the case file. "Colby is that true?" "I am still alive Don. Megan lets go. Get our things." She gets them and gives Don his things. "What are you doing Megan?" "Working." "I and your dad would like to see how you work." "Fine" says Don. They go to the office. Megan leads her parents to an area and tells them to wait there. Don says. "Simon get the file!" "Tom and Aaron get the guy." "Colby and I will question. David you call the ME and Megan call the victims family and the DA." Moments later the guy is brought to the question room and Don and Colby start questioning him." Half an hour later the DA comes by and Megan talks to her infront of her parents. "What do we have Agent Reaves?" " Possible suspect in 8 rape murders in Los Angeles in the past month." "Thank you Reaves." After that the DA walks to the questioning room and her mother talks to her. "So this is your job?" "Part of it. You will see the rest of it soon." "Good." Don comes up and says. "Guys gear up. He has an accomplice." H then talks to Megan´s parents. "You come too."

They all go to the place where the accomplice is. When they arrive they see the guy and a girl outside of the building. Megan sees that the girl is frightened and says to Don. "Let me talk to him. Me against her." "Megan." "Don please. That girl is not older than 15." "Ok go." She leaves her things in the car and gets out. The girl is exchanged for Megan. Megan´s mum sees that the guy is holding a gun to her gun. She says. "Get her out Don." "Do yourself a favour and keep quiet or I will arrest you for tampering the investigastion." He answers his cell phone and they tell him that there a 10 girls in the building. Don tells them to go in. They go in and get the girls and Megan. They are brought to an ambulance and her parents come running at her. The girls see that and hide behind her. She says to David. "Stop them! They are scaring the girls." David and Colby stop her parents. She turns to the girls and says. "They will not hurt you. We will call your families. Don walks up to his in-laws and says "do not tamper our investigation or I will arrest you personally. I told you to let us do our job." "She is our daughter Don." "So?. The girls are all under 15. They have been tortured and raped. They trust her and the paramedics because they are all women. So think about your actions." Megan walks up to Don with two girls. One on each hand. They are clinging to her. "Megan can they be questioned?" "No way. They are way to traumatized. Do they have to testify?" "I already talked to the DA on the phone. He said they would have enough." "Thank you Don." Megan and the girls walk back and she gives each of the girls on of her businesscards. Don sees it and says. "Megan gives every victim that she helps her businesscard for emergencies."

The DA arrives and Megan walks up to Don and the DA. "Agent Reaves the girls will not have to testify. But I would ask you to testify." "I sure will." "I will. Thank you." "Thank you Agent Reaves."
