"What happened?" Elena asked Rude as he got out of the helicopter.

Rude shrugged. "I dunno, Rodrigo told him to check the surveillance video from the safe house-"

"Oh no…" Elena interrupted as she felt the blood drain from her body.

Rude grabbed her elbow to steady her when she started to wobble. Then she collected herself and ran as fast as she could towards their car.

"Tseng, wait! I can explain!" Elena cried out as she reached the car.

"I'm sure you can. I guess the joke's on me, wanting Reno to look after you." Tseng said in a bitter tone Elena had never heard him use before.

"That was all there ever was between us, I swear!"

"I want you and your bastard child out of my house by midnight." Tseng slammed the door shut and the car sped away.

Elena stood there, watching the car get smaller until it disappeared, tears running down her face.


"Where'd he go? I've got those reports he wanted." Reno said, coming over to her, a bunch of folders in his hand.

"He knows." Elena whispered, too much in shock to speak louder.

"Knows what? Oh crap…how'd he find out?" Reno dropped the folders he had been holding, cursing as he had to pick them back up and make sure they didn't get mixed up.

"Ro…Rodrigo knew. He told Tseng to look at the surveillance video from the safe house."

Reno paled. Things were getting totally out of control, even more than they did that night.

"I…I need to get to the house. Rude, will you drive me there?" Elena asked him as he walked over to them.

"Uh, sure." Rude said, still not sure what was going on. What could be on that video?

"Give these to Tseng if you see him." Reno handed the folders to Rude before hurrying off.


Elena sat in the backseat of Rude's car, so she could lay down and rest. Except she couldn't rest, anytime she closed her eyes she saw Tseng driving away or the beginning of her night with Reno.

"Harder!" Elena demanded. "Harder…that's it!" She clawed at the wall with one hand and clutched at Reno with the other as she felt herself explode. She had never felt anything so intense before.

Reno started to pull away from her and she grabbed at him. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked. "We're just getting started."

The worst part for Elena was remembering how she insisted that Reno violate her over and over again, and how she reveled in it.

Rude finally reached their house and he entered the code to open the gates. When they entered the house, Elena told Rude she would just need a few minutes to get her things. She saw the closed door to Tseng's study/office, and then told Rude he could give the files to Tseng and then wait for her in the car. Rude knocked on the study door as Elena went upstairs to the master suite.

"What do you want now, El-" Tseng angrily opened the door. "Oh, it's you. What do you want, Rude?"

"I was told you wanted these." Rude handed the folders to Tseng, then headed outside.


Elena opened the door to their bedroom, and the first thing she noticed was the mirror on her vanity table was broken. She went over and saw what broke it. Tseng must have thrown their wedding picture at it. The picture was still in the frame, but the broken glass was mixed in with the broken mirror shards.

She bit her lip to keep from crying and went to the closet, pulling out her suitcase. She put the maternity clothes she bought last week in it, and when it was almost full, she got their honeymoon album from her nightstand and put it on top of her clothes. She zipped up her suitcase and went back downstairs. Rude put her suitcase in the trunk and drove her where she directed him to. When he stopped, he turned to her.

"Are you sure this is where you wanted to go?" Rude asked her.

"Yes. Would you please get my suitcase and put it by the door?" Elena requested as she got out of the car.

When Rude had driven off, obviously not happy about leaving her there, she knocked on the door. When there was no response the first time, she pounded on the door. A few moments later, the door opened.

"Elena! What are you doing here?" Vincent asked in surprise.
