An: so here I am, I'm sorry about not updating for such a long time but I was really ill and then recently my Nanna has passed away so I've not been in the mood to write. I wanted to get some writing done though before this story becomes forgotten about so whilst I am ok I'm writing you this chapter :)

love you all and thanks for reading,

"Am I blinking flip going to a therapist!" Kate argued when Henry told her before she could come back to work she had to go through procedure and see a therapist.

"Kate you've been under trauma and I'm not aloud to let you come back to work until a therapist clears you!" He said calmly even though Kate was ready to throw his desk over his head.

"Trauma is what Brinley Cole went through..." She played her last card. "She was thirteen, Henry...I have a sister, I want to find out what happened to that girl..."

"I know, I've had this argument with Jacob when I tried to pull him off the case, a girl dies and both of you are suddenly targets, Kate if I could let you come back to work straight away I would no questions, but there's nothing I can do...I'm sorry..." He shook his head.

Kate sighed "fine..." She said in a 'everything is not fine' voice before stormed out of his office, if she had to go and see a therapist before she could help find a killer then so be it.

"Brinley Cole's parents just formerly ID the body..." Sam said scratching the back of his neck; it had taken him three days to find them.

"and?" Jake questioned.

"they said something about the Devil...then left..." Sam shrugged.

"A family who fears god and the Devil...why would someone kill Brinley? What could she have possibly have known or done that could've been worth her death?" Ronnie sighed; this was all wrong.

"Brinley wasn't the target..." Jake spoke up "no, the target is me and Kate...someone's playing a very dangerous, sick game here. They're playing on fear, for me, growing up it was religion when I got older it was losing the people I care about, after my cousin was killed four years ago the only family i really had was her daughter, my god daughter but..." That's when it hit him. "Oh my...I have been so thick..."

"what is it?" Sam questioned.

"the voice on the phone, I knew I had heard it before, I really knew it but the fear and screaming, that threw me so I couldn't put my finger on it, and after finding Brinley I..we all assumed that's who was on the phone to me..."

"what do you mean?"

"Brinley was warning." he took out his phone and dialed a number that was on speed dial. He put the phone on speaker.

The phone was answered put no one spoke, just breathing.

"Amy..." Jake said but no reply came. "Amelia..." His voice slightly louder, more worried but still in a way angry.

"Solved my little puzzle, Jacob..." A man's voice came through.

"what the hell have you done to Amelia?!"

"Oh nothing, yet anyway, she is quite safe..." The man sounded Russian, it was clear Jake knew him.

"You dare hurt her..."

"I have no intention on hurting her, Jacob, you though I can't say the same for..." There was a pause "you or your girlfriend..."

"Kate? Strackov, what the hell has Kate got to do with this?! This is just me and you!" he exclaimed.

"You stole five years of my life, now I'm going to take something from you, whether that be your life, or that of someone else."

"Where's Amy?" He asked.

"She's right here...Miss Thorne, he wants to speak to you..."

The phone was passed to someone else "Jake..."

"Amy? Are you ok?"

"Me? Yeah I'm fine never better..."

"I'm gonna get you out of this, kid..."

the phone was taken from Amy "not yet..." Strackov said "I'm not quite finished..."

Strackov hung up the phone and Jake threw his at the wall in frustration.

"What's going off?" Sam asked, him and Ronnie were unbelievably confused.

"My cousin's daughter, Strackov has taken her..."

"Who's he?"

"My first murder case...A man was found with his head caved in, the person the police arrested was Strackov, he said he wasn't guilty but there was too much evidence to prove his guilt. He was given a life sentence but some how got released after five years..." Jake explained sitting down. "the last thing he did was shout over his shoulder that he wasn't finished with me...he's not playing on fear, he just want's to get me back for taking five years away from him"

"So Kate's in danger as well..."

They all arrived at the CPS office's but Kate wasn't there .

"Henry, where's Kate?" Jake asked.

"therapist...why?"

Jake explained everything and Henry cursed under his breath.

"Jake Thorne?" Someone said from the door way. "This just arrived for you..." the woman handed him a package before leaving.

there was a note 'thought I'd send you a little clue, S'

Jake opened it immediately and pulled out the what was in it, it was Amy's hoodie.

"Great.." Jake groaned.

"What's that?" Sam pointed to a wet back near the pocket on the right side.

"Water?" Ronnie suggested.

"We'll get it tested..." Sam nodded.

"We need to get to Kate..."

Kate sat in the waiting room of the therapist, she hated these places, a childhood there and you'll see why.

"Kate Barker..." The person said and Kate followed them through to an office.

She sat down but immediately sensed something was wrong.

She looked around, where was the therapist?

"We have a mutual friend Miss Barker..." A man said appearing from a desperate door way, that's when Kate saw he had his left arm holding a girl, probably around fifteen years old and his right pointing a gun at her head.

"who are you?" she asked

"No time..." He sighed. "Now follow me, or this kid will never see her godfather again..."
