The dark room was filled with moans of pain, it was a woman's voice. She wanted the pain to end, she was minding her own when she was taken. She was tied, her hands on the arms of table and her feet together. She was fearful, when she heard footsteps coming toward her.

"How is my princess now, ready to hear the stories end." her captor said.

She tried to get away, she didn't want to die, she had a life ahead of her. The captor just laughed and pulled out a needle filled with animistic which would put her in a dark sleep. When her eyes closed the captor reached to the table beside the longer table and brought a scalable up and went to the woman's eyes, and tears were filled with blood.

Whittney was with her class on the play ground, she smiled when Iruka sat down beside her watching his own class. It was great that they each had about 7 kids each, Whittney had Hinata in her class while Naruto was in Iruka's. They like it that way because they knew their children were safe, then when the heard a child scream they both stood up.

A few kids went strait to the two teachers, some were crying. The two noticed with fear that their own children weren't there.

"Iruka I..."

"Stay with the others, I'll get Naruto and Hinata."

Iruka found the children in the castle of the playground, Hinata behind Naruto who was staring at something. When Iruka saw what the two were seeing he grabbed them both and ran back to Whittney and then gave Naruto to the woman who saw that he was shaking they deiced to call the parents of the other kids then they called 991.

"Hurry up, we need to get there." Stated Kakashi.

"I'm going as fast as I can, I'm just as worried as you." stated Marco.

They didn't say anything else until they got to the seen, the other parents had taken the children leaving Iruka, Whittney, and their children. When Naruto saw his papa he ran to him and Marco let his arms down and pulled his son into his arms. Whittney ran over also Marco reached his open arm to hug his wife closer to him.

Kakashi jumped and surrounded his arms his daughter and husband. He kissed Iruka's forehead and then picked his daughter up and kissed her too. He then looked at Marco who was having his own reunion with his family.

"Are you alright?"

"Kash, were fine but Naruto and Hinata found the body..."
"Hush, don't think about it, I'm going to take you two home."

"Kakashi, what about the case..."

"The chief said when we heard the call to make sure our family got home safe and a good night rest."

Marco was having the same talk with his family, and Whittney nodded she knew about cops sometimes taking time for families. She just nodded, she took Naruto and headed toward the car.

Naruto was tucked in his bed, he was being stubborn. He crossed his arms and said again to his parents.

"No, I'm not tried." stated the boy.

"Naruto please, mommy and daddy had a long day today." stated Whittney.

"No..."

"Naruto Minto Phoenix listen to your mother." stated Marco.
"No." Marco sighed and looked at Whittney she nodded and then left the room leaving the boys.

"Alright young man what's bothering you?"

"That lady that Hinata and I found..she was dead wasn't she...mommy was scared why?"

Marco sighed and went to his son's level, he patted his head and took a breath.

"Naruto, you know that I'm a detective, well mommy and myself are worried that my work might put you two in danger. Today it was too close that's why mommy was scared."

"So that's why mommy was scared." Marco nodded at his son and kissed his head.

"Yes, and I'm glad I have such a smart boy. Now go to sleep."

"Good night daddy love you."

"Good night my little fox."

Marco found his wife drinking, he sighed and walked over, and put his arms around her waist.

"Dr. Pepper, how many glasses did you have?"

"I'm going on my third, and don't tell me it's okay my son saw a body." Marco nuzzled her her neck.

"I know, but our son is stronger after all he has your strength." he replied and kissed her neck.

"Yea, and your good looks, hum, Marco can you stop kissing my neck." Marco lifted his head and nodded and kissed Whittney's lips.

Whittney melted into the kiss and put his arms around Marco's neck. Marco deepened the kiss, he loved it when they did this, they let go when they need air. Whittney whispered close to his lips.

"Bedroom, now before we dirty the kitchen."

Once again the loud music that graced the morgue Kakashi, Law, and Ace the FBI officer on loan, what was weird that Marco wasn't there. Kakashi thought to himself karma is coming to get Marco as payment for all the times he made fun of Kakashi being late. When the doors of the morgue opened all three men looked at the said man who seemed to be proud of himself.

"Okay, what happened an old lady stop you to help her cross the road?" Ace asked knowing about the excuses that Kakashi had used.

"Hey, don't make fun of me." the said person replied.

"Sorry, Whittney was a little wild and wouldn't let me go."

"Wait you got laid last night by my sister?" Ace said his eyes wide.

"Ace, there married and don't you complain we do it also." stated Law as he scolded his husband.

"Alright enough of sex life lets get to the body." stated Kakashi.

"Right, okay what you have Doc?" asked Ace who got a glare as an answer.

"Victim's name is Roseann Vine a six grade teacher." stated Kakashi.

"About 30 correct, she was also was bound like the others, I'm running a tox screen. Her eyes were sewn up. I cut the thread and found that her eyes were taken."

"What's up with this guy and taking toes, and now eyes." stated Ace.

"I agree in the sleeping beatuty story it was true loves kiss that wakes up the princess, so why would he take her eyes?" asked Kakashi.

"I don't know that's what you three are paid for."

"Okay thanks Law, and lets get to the crime board boys." Ace said as he walked out the door.

"Why does it feel like were going to get a headache because of your brother-in-law?"

"Because he's one of the reasons that Whittney was glad to get out of the house."

"Well we just have to work with him, and find this son of a gun who's killing people and hopeful before one of our love ones get kidnapped and killed."
