"Hello" A strong man's voice answered.

"It was told me, you want to talk to me. Well here I am." Annie introduced conversation.

"Oh, oh, the amazing Annie Martin Williams, such a pleasure meeting you. Well now that you are here, I suppose my situation is more complicated than a few moments ago, and my demands won't happen."

"Correct, so let's be clear, what do you really want? And what do you want with me?"

"You really don't like to lost time … Dear Detective Williams I want my sister free."

"I'm suppose to know who she is? Let me guess ... Hum... She is a criminal!"

"I don't like your tone, don't forget I have hostages and if I get bored, I will start killing!"

"Then, you definitely don't know me! Kill one and I will personally put a bullet in your head without a second thought. So cut the c-r-a-p and tell me what you want? I'm starting to lose my patience." Annie grumbled

"Chill out Detective, my sister was arrested 6 months ago in Amsterdam for murderer, but she was innocent. Of course the local authorities didn't lost time, looking all the evidences, I want you to look."

"And tell me, what makes you think I will find something new?"

"Because you worked 4 years at the French Judicial Police. You were a star, so you know how to see an ambush."

"Then again, why me?"

"Because your team has been doing lectures about kidnap's situations and you know for have integrity and see everything before you close a case."

"Fine, let's see. I need time and information! Start talking."

Z-Z-Z

After a while, the team investigated the case and wasn't happy with the findings.

"This is bad, really bad!" One of the Amsterdam's officers said.

"How are you going to tell him that Detective?" Other asked.

Annie knew in these cases, the truth, the whole truth was the best option, so she picked the phone and prayed for a miracle, but there was something she couldn't figure it out, a feeling, that something wasn't right.

"Yes? And what did you find out Detective?"

"The truth."

" And what are you going to do?"

"Me? I'm going to save those hostages"

"Really? And how do you intent to do that?"

"First, you are going to tell me who you really are! Then, why did you wanted me to investigated a case of suicide and for last why did you made me waste time… What's your real reason for be therein?"

"Oh well done Detective, but what makes you think I don't want to revenge my sister's death?"

"Because you didn't even asked me what truth I did find out, I didn't said she was innocent."

There was a moment of silence "Well, then I guess I lost ..." With that he hang out and after a few seconds, outside it was heard a gunshot.

Annie and Sam, rushed outside because they didn't understand what had just happened. He was lying, he doesn't sound like a kidnaper, he never spoke about the hostage or his demands, something was off. His accent wasn't Dutch at all, but his sister was arrested by Amsterdam police and her nationality didn't appear in any document, something was wrong. This smell a setting up, so she push his buttons, and he looked defeated, something that doesn't happen in this situation, a normal response, should have been anger.

She saw the 3 kidnapers laying dead on the ground near the entrance of the bank. "What the h-e-l-l happened?"

"They ran out with guns and a vest with explosives and my men had a clean shot, so I gave them an order." The Chief Inspector on the scene said.

Annie was in shock, what had she missed, did she saw the wrong signs, after a 3 hours conversation, this wasn't supposed to be the result. The Chief Inspector never said or did nothing, suddenly he decided to make a move... Why? She couldn't believe, she had just spending hours with the Dutch Police on lectures about these situations and they did what she had insisted that was wrong. No way ... Suddenly, she stopped! Something was off, there was something in the air. Everyone seemed not to mind with 3 deaths and it was to quiet.

The Chief's Department appeared from a van with a team and everyone except her team started to applaud. "Well done Miss Williams, amazing job! It was inspired see the way you handled the situation." The Chief said.

"You were amazing, and suspected a setting up, so many hours of training and you beat us! Amazing!" The Chief Inspector congratulated her.

Annie was looking incredulous to everyone, her team was the same. The Chief understood her confusion "It was a test to see the way you put your lectures on action. It was arranged with your boss when I found out you were coming. My people did a great job on keep it secret. I'm sorry, don't get mad, but everyone was asking to see Met's Kidnap Unit on action."

Sam, Annie and the others got out from their trance, some smiled, others compliment the officers, but Annie, she was p-i-s-s. "You got to be joking Sir! This is stupid! I… I didn't like a bit of this joke, you know my team could have killed them? We are freaking snipers!"

"Calm down Detective. We could never let things turn to that Detective Williams! We knew what we were doing."

"Really? Looks to me that you all do not have a clue about how closed you were to death! This is insane, I don't have words … It's just irresponsible and risky! I'm sick with this.. guys, I…I'm leaving to the Hotel." Everyone asked her to stay, but she walked way without look back, she hated be manipulated and deceived! Her boss was going to hear! D-a-m-n, she couldn't believe! It has been a while since someone had trick her.

Their time in Amsterdam was finishing, just a few hours, and she hadn't spoken to Louis, see him would be a shock and all that bad feelings would came out, but he was the only one who knew the Jones almost as well as she. She didn't find the strength to come back to the Hospital, so perhaps was for the best, because she never needed him in all these years and he may even know nothing about this murder. She put her head under the hot water in the bathtub and forgot about the world.

Z-Z-Z

"Are you sure? She only said Scotland?"

"I'm sure Louis, what is Scotland?"

"The reason she quit and disappeared." Louis said to Rebecca.

"Care to elaborate …"

"Do you remember Detective Ben Hayden?"

"That name isn't strange but I don't…"

Suddenly the door opened, Dorn peeped "Am I interrupting?"

"Michel! Not at all, I was about to call you, come in, all of you!" Rebecca said, seeing Tommy peeped behind Dorn.

"Well, well, look at you, you look gorgeous!" Hickman joked.

"Don't make laugh, your awful man, my rib hurts." Louis said half-smiling.

"Good to see you smiling Major." Eva encouraged.

"Thank you Eva, and I'm sorry for all the stress I put you through. But as you can see I'm fine." Everyone said it was nothing, they were sure it was just a scratch. The team seemed relieved about Major's condition, except Tommy, he was lost in thoughts, when Arabela poked him." Hey, are you ok?"

"Hum, yep, I'm fine, just relieved to see Major ok."

"Ok … but is something more in your mind isn't it?"

Tommy hadn't time to answer because Major was watching everyone and his eyes had stopped on Tommy. "Tommy is everything alright? Something happened when I was unconscious?"

"Yes Major, it is, I'm just happy to see you well, you gave us a big scare!"

Major still look at him, knowing that was truth but not all of it. "Right, so nobody have questions about my visit when I was asleep?" The effect was immediate in everyone, he knew Annie could mess with a saint's nerves, she used to, but a lot of her had changed, but her entries were her signature so…

"About that, we really think is nothing of our business" Sebastian tried to break the silence in the room.

"Yes, I agree with Sebastian, although I'm surprised to never had heard about her, since she was your last partner in France." Dorn looked serious at Louis, trying to figure out why, because he was sure something really terrible must had happened between them.

"It's a long story, is something unfinished, I was hoping she could come back by now, but I guess she must be on the airplane."

"And how could you know that?" Rebecca always kept the suspicion that Louis said he didn't care about her anymore, now she knew he was lying, and have a confirmation could be good.

"Well … I have been following her since she left London."

"Liar Louis."

"You really know me so well, my love. Fine! I have been following her since she left Judicial Police for 4 years ago. And I know she is here, because she was training Amsterdam police …"

"Training? What kind of training?" Arabela was curious, what does that girl do, so young and training a police department, must be important.

"Annie is on Met's kidnap unit, she is the team leader and the negociator."

Everyone went from shock, to surprised to laugh, in Tommy's case.

"She is a team leader? Major that's impossible! She doesn't even look like she has age to drink here."Tommy replied.

Louis laugh, if Annie heard that, well Tommy could be on the floor screaming in pain, now this new Annie he couldn't know, but perhaps a gunshot and walk away, any way Tommy could be suffering. " Ah Tommy, you could be surprised with her talent, and she doesn't look that young, if my memory doesn't betray me, she just did 26 years old, so she can drink!"

"Wow, 26? And she already is a team leader? How?" Sebastian was amazed, but that same time intrigued.

"Annie started worked in police at 18 years old, and she is that good Sebastian, she was made to be a police, daughter of a Scotland Yard inspector and a Navy Admiral, she learnt how to shoot before reading. And from the look on your faces, I see she did change a lot, but still knowing how to introduce herself." Louis mocked the surprised team.
