Chapter 4: Tombs.

The morning sun was filtering through the curtains of the Gentlemen's Club. JT had already been awake for a while. He was too worried to sleep a wink.

She wanted to stay with him, but had to rest .. plus he wanted to be alone. The day had been awful.

He got up at 5 in the morning desperate to see the hours pass . No more getting around to his head thinking how the hell they could fix this disaster. How to make Vincent did not have to answer for the murder of Windsor.

how much more I thought about it how much more that Gabe was given was right, he did it, he had killed to the Tori's father.

He sat in front of the computer screen with good strong coffee in hand.

Had no idea where to start. He remembered that he had not yet researched the names on the list that Sam had it encrypted in the pen. It was the file where it was saved and searched.

Suddenly the door burst open and Gabe came followed by two uniformed policemen. JT got up from the chair.

-JT Forbes has to join a police station -. He said as approached him. The police surrounded him

I do not think this is necessary ..

- Not yet in a position to tell me what is or is not necessary -. Shouted Gabe -. Cameras In prison it is clear that you were to visit Vincent pretending to be a lawyer. Impersonation, use of false documents ...

JT looked at him straight in the eye.

- What do you Gabe?. -

-Let me say first, you talked to him and then, where the hell is hiding ..

-No where is hiding ... - trying to appear calm when deep down was scared to death.

Gabe went to the police.

He Peeking around the house ... if you find anything suspicious tell me what ... - ordered.

When they left the room, approached JT.

-He could not do it alone, could not go away without help ...

JT gaze followed him first.

-I don't anything .. I also wonder not doubt the ability to take care of himself .. Vincent

- He could not do it alone! -. Yell again. -. What you spoke in prison?

- I do not have to tell you anything...-JT could not believe what he was saying.I felt like starting to sweat ... but there was no turning back.

Gabe watched carefully.

-Okay, let's pólice station. The FBI will be happy to ask.

JT was not intimidated.

-Let's the Police station.

At that time the two officers returned to the hall.

-We have found nothing ..

Gabe yelled.

'Never mind, let's go!... and Mr. Forbes with us .. - he headed to Jt a lovely fake smile, as he took him arm and led him toward the exit.


They did not want out of the tub but in the end, they did. Vincent was the first to react.

- Should we leave here, do not you think?

Cat was so comfortable on his chest that had no intention.

-No, I do not ... here nothing can harm us ... Also I was so worried you would not come ... -she said while she turned to look him-.I was so scared.

-Well, you see .. here's me, not being a fugitive from justice can resist your charms -. He owed his head and kissed her gently on the lips.

She laughed heartily.

- And You don't see, how I like that you can not resist my charms.- She kissed back.

-Cat .. really ... we have things to do .. for ..-suddenly directed his gaze to the soaked clothes lay on the ground .. - should dry it as soon as possible ...

Cat stood up carefully not to slip.

-Okay ..

Cat was wrapped in a towel and held another Vincent who knotted at the waist.

Shet took all clothes and she took the dryer. Put into operation. Then he picked up his shoes and left on the balcony. The sun would dry.

Meanwhile, Vincent took the backpack that was hastily recorded in the closet. Put it on the bed the few clothes he had left. Cat came at that time.

-I'll make coffee ... would you?

-Of course ..

She looked him up and down.

- What.? -. Asked him.

-You're great in towel ...

He approached her and hugged her

-I think you should breakfast like this ... and you will dress later.-She grabbed his hand and led him to the living room.


Tess was concentrated in the record of a case. They had been so late that they could spend a month buried in papers. And of course I could not have Catherine, one would have to make do. but it was good for the girls.

He began typing on the computer to make the report on a case of disappearance resolved when a voice behind him made him turn quickly, was JT.

-You don't going to recover her doing it ..

Gabe grabbed him and told him to climb the stairs that led him to the interrogation room.

-I don't do for that .. In case you have not heard, there's a murderer loose.

Tess got up and stood in front of them, before they began to rise.

-Gabe, what are you doing with him?

-Tess, you have a knack to get in the middle ...

-Tell me, where are you going with?... - I was getting angry at times.

-Tess leave it, it's nothing, answer a question and that's all .- Jt tried to reassure her -., Do not worry ..

Passed her and began to climb. She started to follow them but Gabe stopped short.

-You stay down .. do you understand?

-Gabe, someday I'll make you swallow that cockiness ..

He laughed in his face.

-Someday ... - turned and went behind JT and police.


Cat got into the kitchen to prepare two cups of coffee, while Vincent sat on the arm of the chair. He spent some time watching ..

- When you tell me what you think Gabe? -. Asked as he crossed his arms at chest height.

She stayed quiet with mugs in hand .. Take a deep breath and looked up at him.

-I was with you before ... and I think he was looking for someone or something ... It was he?

A Cat took him answer.

-I think yes..not fit me no more -. She emerged from the kitchen and gave him a cup. He sat in the couch.-Tess and I went to his house to ask him. At first he looked surprised .. but then, when he realize that we suspected him .. he changed. He started to say ... you were a murderer - his voice quebró.Vin sat beside her -. .. We all knew that, you had killed .. like many others .. and .. - She looked Vin while talking -. He had tired of covering for you ... better than you were in jail ... -

- Is there anything else? -. She looked at him surprised-. I notice Cat, what are you not telling me.?

Cat closed her eyes and leaned back in Vincent's chest.

-I told him that if I was returning with allwould be forgotten .. all he knew how to make me happy .. and I never have a life with you.

He stroked her hair still wet.

-In the background is what he has always wanted since I laid eyes on it .. to you ... only you .. all he has done for you ...

-I slap him..- she confessed.

-Really?! -. He asked surprised.

-I was so angry ... I felt cheated .. He turned and stared him -. Almost I leave you for him ... - kissed him.

He returned the kiss and hugged her as hard as he could.

-Vincent, Tess and I talked about how I could have done .. had access to the FBI because of my father .. had access to the corpse of Windsor and has reason .. But he did not recognize ... - sighed.

-Now I'll take care of it ..

Cat pulled away visibly shaken.

- 'No!'you will not do anything! .. - Su tone of voice in the discussion admitted ..-Vincent, he are causing you .. You are exactly what he wants, that you goes behind him ..

At that moment the phone rang. Cat rose.

-Is Tess ... - he told Vincent -. .. Gotta take it.

-Do not tell her I'm here ..

-No ... I thought - she slipped down phone ...: - Tell me Tess ..

-Just brought to Jt to the police station ...

- Who has been?

-Guess ..

-Gabe...

-Yes ... They're in the interrogation room with an FBI official.

Vincent saw his face reflected surprise ..

-Worst is impossible ...

-Do not worry I'll be around you ... I wanted to enter the room but Gabe has prevented me ..

- How have you seen JT?

-Well, seemed fine ... I don't know ... Have you already called Dana?

-No, not yet ... This morning Gabe came to search my house if Vincent was here ...

- Have you gone to see you tonight?

-No ...he did not come ...: - lied, the less she knew better ... Vincent made a face of circumstances ..

-Well, ... that he loses time, Vincent will be safer ... - Tess attempts seem quiet ... but it certainly was not.

-I wish ... I think it does not intend to let it go ..

-I don't believe that, but he may not with me, with you or Jt.

Cat sighed.

-No ...

-I will see if I can see JT. See you.

Catherine hung up and stayed back to Vincent. I was afraid to tell her. He got up and I approached her.

-Gabe has led to the station to JT.

-I heard it all ...

She turned.

-This is going to splash all .. JT'll help you out, right?

-Yes.. - was sincere -. ... But he did not know where I've been or where I am now .. .. You should have seen him, he doesn't doubt for a moment .. so yes, I was so scared .. Poor. ..

Vincent put his hands to his head ..

- If they go for me .. also they will go for you ...

Cat was quickly up to him and hugged him around the waist.

-Never think that .. I told you once, I'm in the car with you, ups, downs .. I love Vincent and I wont change .. I know.

He hit his forehead to hers.

- I dont know Iwould not do it without you

She laughed softly as he grabbed her neck.

-Me neither ... - kissed .. - I have to call Dana, need someone to help us in the FBI ... I think we can trust her and Sam is already in prison, She will be out of the protection program Witness ..

He nodded.

'-I'm going to dress ... - He told her away slightly.

-No, please dont dress ..-SHe beg him grabbing him as hard as she could.

-Cat .. please .. have a lot to do ...

-Ya .. but ... I do not want you to stay like this, forever .. - began to gently stroke his chest ...

The removed his hand.

-Cat .. you also should dress ... - and before he knew it was gone from his side.

- For the record, that's cheating -. Yelled it. With a sigh he sat on the couch and dialed the phone to Dana.

It took a while to get it.

-Si...¿Cat are you?

-Yes Dana, sorry to call you ..

-Oh! Do not worry .. now I'm driving to NY. Sam wanted to see, I have to talk to him .. but besides, I have seen the news .. "War Hero escapes from prison" .. Tell me, what happened?

-Dana is very long .. but I think I'll need your help, to be operational again? ..

-With the FBI never cease to be so ..

- When will you arrive?

-Give me a couple of hours ..

-Ok... in Jt's house?

-Perfect .. Cat .. forgiveness .. how to wear Sam?

-I do not know .. when he just realized what he had done, but even so, not if he was sorry ... - grabbed air -. ... You'll have to talk to him ..

- How hard is this -. Dana's voice had sadness -.I recover the man of my life ... I see ..

Cat smiled resignedly.

-What are you going to tell me ... I let you drive .. Bye.

- Then we talk.

She hung up and slowly left the phone on the table. She understood perfectly well what was going on Dana .. as would not understand?. She got up and headed to his room to find Vincent.

She found him putting a black sweatshirt and jeans ..all that he had.

-Cat, has already finished the dryer?

-I think so ..

-Could you approach my clothes? .. I have nothing more.

- ¿Could you go to your house to find you something?

-Gabe would know and what excuse going to put ..?

-Oh! is true .. everything is secure, your house, my house, the club ... all ..

-Also .. - he added -. I have nothing you want to keep that house ... that was a way of life that no longer want to have .. not think I will ever live there ...

-Is it true that my father gave it to you?

-Yes, it was a gift and alone for, wash my brains to kill in cold blood .. ah! and he paid very well ... very, very good ..

Cat walked over and hugged him again.

-So you're a rich man, Vincent Keller ...

-Say I have some money .. I had...before

-Jt had and has ..

Vincent suddenly remembered his friend.

- Poor JT! Not what I would have done without him .. by the way, you have to call Tess ..

-I will ... - clung to her neck and tried to kiss him .. he pulled away ...

-The dryer .. - reminded him.

Cat sighed.

- I'm going... You're sneaky today ...- she mutter to herself as she was going to get the clothes.

He heard the laughter of Vincent from the room.

-Yes .. you've already heard me.

She found that he had finished, opened it, took his clothes and took over the bed.

Vincent was taking his.

-From now showers no longer going to be the same ... - I said grinning and looking askance Cat.

-No, not for me .. - ducked his head slightly embarrassed.

Vincent approached her, grabbed her face and held it up.

Do not tell me you are now ashamed ..

-No .. just ...

- What .you are wonderful ... You do not have to be ashamed of anything .. - kissed her once, twice, three times until no longer wanted to come off ..

Again it was he who first departed.

-Cat have a few things to tell ..

-Yes .. I think yes.. your jailbreak for it ex..- sighing he said.

He walked over to his backpack, grabbed, Cat grabbed her arm and led her to the living room.

At that time the mobile shrugged, indicating that she had to take it. He nodded resignedly.


In the interrogation room when no one came. JT were made to sit on a chair. Gabe stepped out to call. A few minutes reentered accompanied by a man. This sat in front of JT. He left some papers on the table. Among those papers had photographs. The JT pushed.

-MrForbes, I'm FBI Special Agent Mark Newman -. He said while he showed his badge. . - These photographs were taken by the surveillance camera Rikers Prison. As you can see, it's you.

JT looked at carefully. Undoubtedly, he was. He seemed to talk to Vincent.

-I can say that to there, under the identity of a lawyer named ... - picked up a paper and read it -. .. Jason Smith

JT knew that it could not lie. It would be worse.

Vincent ... Mr. Keller called me to come to see him. Use this identity because he thought that I might not see otherwise

You're right-I could not have him ... - the agent kept moving the papers in the table above -. Can you tell me in detail that spoke?.

JT shifted uneasily in his chair. I look at Gabe, who stood leaning against the wall. His face was something I had never seen before .. a strange mixture of hatred and fear. It could not be just jealousy, here had to be something more.

-I asked him a very important favor.

The Newman agent leaned back in the chair

- You can tell me?

-Of course ... he asked me to come to his house to pick something up, not wanting to lose, if someone ... - Gabe looked outside to say this.-registering.

- What?

It took Gabe's eyes as he continued talking.

-A ring, an engagement ring ...

The agent picked up another paper.

-An engagement ring ... that's what I was looking? .. It parece que el demandado tiene la relación de un detective de Chandler, ¿no es así?

'Exactly -. Kept looking at Gabe. He was pale.

- Where is that ring now?

-In my house ..

- When did you get it?

-Yesterday afternoon ..

-Mr Forbes was yesterday ..where was you yesterday between 3 and 6 pm?

At that moment the door flew open. Tess came without asking. Gabe went to her.

Tess told you to stay down ..

She ignored.

-Mr. Forbes was with me ... the Chandler detective is a mutual friend and we were both worried .. I went to talk with him to his house.

- Swear that Detective Vargas?

Tess did not think.

-Of course ... -JT was amazed at his relentless security. It was impossible to doubt it.

The agent Newman looked closely at the two for a few seconds. Then he rose.

'Well, this is all Mr. Forbes can go, we'll see if we undertake some action against you ..

Gabe reacted immediately.

- You can not do that .. used a false identity to sneak into the prison.!

-Fiscal Lowan would you care to join me .. - came out of the room, behind Tess and JT.

The Prosecutor and Newman were left out.

- Why the hell did you release?

-Because we can not prove that Forbes will help you escape .. we can say that is a good bait .. need home surveillance of detective, Keller's house, and Mr. Forbes, you are responsible?

He pulled his phone from his pocket and started dialing as he walks down the aisle.

As Gabe went on behind JT and Tess.

- Wait a moment! -. Shouted.

He reach them. He was very upset.

- I know you've helped him.. but I swear, we're going to take and you can not do anything.
JT went on.

-I told you, Vin care only known ... he does not need anyone. And by the way, it seems amazing that you were able to do something like this out of jealousy .. leave her alone, Gabe .. So do not get anything.

Gabe looked at him defiantly.

-Although you may not believe I have not had anything to do with it ... but I'm tired ... Vincent does not deserve a woman like Catherine ..

Turned to leave were given, but he called back. Something was killing him inside.

-One more thing ... When Vincent bought the ring?

JT smiled.

-He bought it when he knew you did not have any future together, when he learned that Cat could only be with him ... With no one else ..

-And when was that?

-Right after you were home to try to convince him to get away from him .. that you were wrong, you missed security, trust in yourself ... something that Vincent has plenty-. He said choosing his words carefully; wanted ached as much as possible.

He stopped staring at JT and turned to Tess.

-By the way .. very good performance ..

- Why? Do you think I lied? Well you're wrong, and was with him ...-approached him and took his hand -., And I am ..

JT noticed Gabe expression. His look was a mixture of shock and disbelief ..

-Do not forget that you are monitored both.- He threatened them and stepped back into the station.

Tess took a deep breath.

-Each day costs me less lying ..

-I think I better go .. you have a job right? -. Asked JT

-Yes, I have work. -. replied -. Incidentally, is it true about the ring? Yesterday when I told him what had happened did not tell me a ring

-Vincent asked me to keep the secret. Do not say anything to Cat - warned -., Or kill us. He bought a ring the day of the dance; had just spent the night together and I knew I had to do something special. He was sure they would.

Tess smiled openly all that loved him.

- Oh! How beautiful! What it thought and give?

-I do not think, but it was a near possibility .. well, for now it can not be ...

Tess could not stop smiling.

-Every day I like your best friend .. You know ... our first child will call Vincent ...: - and this is saying goodbye to JT with a quick kiss.

JT froze, his face turned red and began to sweat.

- What?

Suddenly,I heard the laughter of Tess.

- Very funny! .. .- he yelled and shot out of the commissary.


Cat picked up the phone

-¿Catherine Chandler?

-Yes, I'm.

-We called him from Rikers Prison.

- Rikers -. Was shocked and scared once -. what happens?

-We regret to say that his father has suffered a ... accident.

Cat had raised the tone of his voice.

- What kind of accident?

-Other prisoners beat him last night.

- How are him?

-They have taken him to St Bemjamin to make a series of tests because it seems he had a couple of broken ribs ..

-Okay, thanks for calling.

Vincent was in front of her, had heard the conversation.

-My father has been beaten in prison and is in the San Benjamin ...- began to massage the eyes -. What do Vincent.?.

-Is your father ... - looked at it before asking -. Wanna go see him?

- Should .. I do not feel connected to the .. there is nothing to make me believe it deserves to go ..?

Vincent took her face in his hands.

Cat, I have something to tell you about your father ... something unexpected ...

- What?-. Tone was sharp.

-Your father is helping me ...

The expression on her face left no doubt that Vincent was surprised.

He sighed, leaned backpack in one, opened it and pulled out a transparent resealable bag.

-This is for you ... from your father ... and indirectly Rebecca .- he said as he gave it.

- What is? .. - he asked as he grabbed it. He went to the table, and will leave it there. He sat on the couch and Vincent did the same.

-This is the field notebooks of Rebecca. She was writing while researching in the north of Scotland.

- What investigated? -. Slowly pulled the three notebooks bag. I could not help but be attracted to them. He touched the top of the first and felt a small shock through her.

She closed her eyes until it was over.

-As I told your father ... was investigating myths and legends. It was kind of anthropologist and notebooks it is his work on Bersekers ...

- Bersekers story .. sounds like a faire tale.-she kept looking at the books.

-Yes, warriors of Norse mythology. A mythology that extends to the British Isles ... but better read it, your father asked me to give you the ... and also said I needed you to go see him.

Cat turned to him.

- What the hell made you my father ?-. Was full of curiosity.

Vincent smiled.

-Well .. when you get to Rikers was convinced that he had assembled all this. I could not think anyone else .. but, face it in front of me and realized that I was telling the truth. Failure would put me in jail, he would kill me ...

- She told you that -. Cat looked scared. . - What did you do?

-Nothing,you do not panic. - He smirked and stared -. Cat, he told me of the story of Rebecca, his family and his reasons for hunting beasts to hunt me... and he told me, who loves you and does not want you to get hurt bad -. sighed and took her hand crisscrossing his fingers with hers -. told him I came back to be together and that after all that had past we had no doubt we were made for each other...- saying this Cat's hand came to her mouth and kissed her -., and did not take it wrong .. he looked at me and said that you were above all that the best way was to have you help me .. That you had to continue with their work and I would have to be with you and protect you ..

- I can't believe it!

-I swear I wish I did not believe him, but telling the truth, he said, hunting me was not personal, it was just work, unless a beast. It became personal when he saw that you were related to me, that was something that could not tolerate but you must read Rebecca's notebooks, others are Reynolds'father and pendrive guess this will be your father.

Cat was taking everything and leaving them on the table.

- Where did you find it?

Vincent leaned back on the couch.

-He said if I had a need I could count on his Montauk home ... All this was kept in a hole in the front of the fireplace.

- Have you been there?

-Yes ... I slept there, what little I've slept.

Cat hugged him and rested her head on his chest.

-This is amazing.

-I know ... But I trust him ...He love you Cat, it's for that, you should go see him .. - advised her stroking his back.

-Ok..but in you wont move from here ...

He sat up.

-Cat...-it hurt so much ... I was going to say ... - I can not stay here .. and can not come with me.

She looked ...

She got up and started walking around the room.

-Vincent, I just recover, I can not lose you again -. Tears came to his eyes.

He rose.

-It is much safer for both of you to be here and make a life as normal as possible .. no need to suspect anything. And also from here help me .. If we ever have a life, a life together, the only option is to fight ... in this moment ... apart

She did not want to accept it.

-I do not want to part with you .. never again .. I'm scared that something will happen and do not come back to me .. I could not live without you ... My life would be meaningless ..

Vincent went to her and hugged her tightly.

-Always come back to you ...-slowly told him, he knew his voice soothed her. - Go see your father, talk to him ... and talk to JT .. I worry about what you can do Gabe. ..

Suddenly Cat separates him.

- Where are you gonna go? Do not you think go for Gabe, right? We have already talked about this ..

He shrugged.

-Not.. now ... I have to go find something ... but ..

- No ... let me handle it, please ...

He looked very serious.

-OK, it will, but if you swear me that you wont kill him.

He walked over to her and kissed her, his tongue touched her lips. Cat eagerly returned the kiss. They were kissing for a while, neither of us wanted to be separated, in the end, Vincent did.

-Cat .. I gotta go ... do not wanna, but I gotta go ..

She gave him one last kiss.

- Will you come tonight?

-I do not know ...

-I'll leave my window open ...

He smiled while jacket, hat, sunglasses and backpack was setting.

- How to get out of here?

Vincent headed to the fire escape.

-No guard rooftop ... plus they can not see me if I do not want ...

Before leaving the looked again.

-I love you ..

-I love you ... - she said.

He kept looking at the place where just being him, then with a sigh he headed to his room to get dressed, grabbed notebooks before Rebeca. When he reached his room he left on the bed, looked at them and could not keep it open one. He began to read.

"Today I lost the baby. After the accident, I blend while, the doctor came to fear for my life. Was it horrible.I'm in bed writing because I dare not get up to go to my desk ..

Duncan has not yet come. I can still hear her scream when she saw me on the floor. I can not believe you were to push me, but he did, the stairs did the rest.

I feel so bad ... I had always believed we had a special connection .. never hurt me .. now I do not know what to believe.

I've been remembering the first days we spent in Scotland when I said that the berserkers had a special connection with certain women. They could have sex with many, but there was always one for which they were intended. One with which have a common life with a family.

I've come to feel well; chosen by Duncan to be with him.

But now hoping to have all that is left in those stairs .. and something tells me that my life with him also.

He feared change we are beginning to occur. "

Cat reread that paragraph a few more times. Something was hanging around his head .. a special connection ... special women who could give children .. something that had to be chosen by the berserkers ... what these women had what Rebecca had to be have been chosen ? What she had?

Cat realized she had been chosen by two beasts ... two beasts fighting .. Although Gabe no longer changed, deep down there was still something that had been ...

And which was the change that feared Rebecca and Duncan?

No time now to keep reading.

She closed the book, dressed quickly, and went to see his father.


It had been very hard to leave Catherine at a time like this, but what he had said was true, had things to do separately. But that night He'll back to her. I needed air when I was not with her.

He had woken up totally disoriented. He could not remember where it was. He got out of bed and saw that it was still night.

The first thing that came to mind, was her. As had happened that night without him. She not knowing where he was or if he was going to see her again. Looking to the still dark forest, he realized he could not run away and leave everything behind. Although it was logical that, leave her out of everything, I could not do it ... I could not think of how life would be without Catherine.

Catherine -. Said his name out loud as he closed his eyes -. Catherine ...

I had to go see it. Now!

As he ate a little of what JT had given him, grabbed his backpack and pulled out from inside the orange prison jumpsuit. I did not know exactly what to do with it. Without thinking twice I stuffed a bag he found in a drawer and leave it in the locker room. It was difficult to find someone out there.

I keep notebooks of the Reynolds family in the same bag. It would take a Cat, she had to read them. He returned the coat, gloves and hat, and left the house.

When he came home from Cat, noticed immediately that something was wrong. It was too early and she was not. He thought maybe he had slept at home .. Cat Tess but would not go anywhere if there was a chance he went to see her. When he entered his room he saw that the quilt was wrinkled. He had slept there on the bed and I could almost swear that dressed like him. She was waiting for him.

Suddenly, he noticed something he knew perfectly, and the heart of Cat beat alarmingly fast. He also heard a voice he knew well, Gabe. The apartment door opened. In a blink of eyes, put his backpack in the bedroom closet, under some blankets and he hid in the bathroom.

He heard footsteps going toward it. He got into the shower. Gabe entered the room and then glanced at the bathroom. Did not see it.

He will come .. - Gabe heard saying

- Or not?. Maybe he thought it best to flee as far as possible.

-Then you will be left alone again.

-Because of you .. -

-No .. things have ended as they had to stop. In the end I'll take ... but I can not guarantee whether dead or alive ... It's a dangerous fugitive and can not beating about nonsense. If you resist will throw to kill. Think about what I said ... I know everything about you.

- "You son of a bitch" ... his eyes turned yellow instantly. Deep breath and monitored. Now was not the time.

-Get out of my house right now ... - Cat heard told.

Then he heard the door closing shut.

He had a mad desire to go for it. But wait, did not want to rush. He could feel the heartbeat of Cat spotted her distress.

He heard footsteps going toward it. Then he saw her come and dry hers tears and ask for it and vacuum .. and could not take it anymore ...

He could not help but smile, remembering what had happened later.

It was cold and the road had been hard to be all covered by snow, but bring your memory all that had happened that morning what a wonderful warmth flooded inside.

He look carefully before making a turn more and would have arrived.

It was a visceral decision. The first thing that came to mind. Where could save the cursed gem? He was then so shocked by the death of Tori, I could not think clearly.

The road turned sharply to the bottom and there was the farm. The abandoned farm where someone had buried the mother of Cat, Vanessa.

While he was approaching it carefully, thought at first they had believed was buried there at Muirfield Rebecca, but now was not so clear.

He came to the grave and saw the calla lily that was engraved on it. Only someone who knew her well, and would have put that there. He smiled as he realized he already had the answer.

When he was hiding a small jewel left fielder blade against one of the walls of the shed .. He went and saw at once in the same place I had left. He took it and went out again. He reached down and removed the snow on the right side of the headstone. There shovel nail deeply, cleared the ground a few times, the gloves are off and reached .. Slowly pulled a cloth bag marón ... opened it and looked inside. The necklace with gem was inside.

He returned to him inside. He opened his backpack and pulled out the box that had found with Rebecca's papers. He pulled back the collar and placed it in gently. I put everything back in the bag.

He returned to bury in the hole he had made and covered him with snow.

He stood up and I took one last look at the headstone of Vanessa. All I could think was too lonely there. Someday, if they could, Cat and he will lead elsewhere.

He raised his head and sighed, looking back toward the road. He had to go. He had to go somewhere else as soon as possible. I had a horrible feeling since he had spoken to the Cat's father.


The Hospital of Saint Benjamin was a swarm of people running from one place to another when Cat came Depending could hear a bomb had exploded in the Russian embassy and were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The news surprised .. remembered the time he had been there .. it all seemed far away. We came to mind the image of Patrick, I smiled, he was a good kid. He could not help wondering what would become of his life.

Information and was taught his badge to the person who was there.

'I'm detective Chandler and I'm looking for an inmate who has entered this morning, Robert Reynolds.

Administrative click the computer name after consulted.

-It is under surveillance in the 205, second floor.

-Thank you.

Cat went to the stairs and began to climb.

Went into the second floor and was directed to the room of his father, he was a policeman at the door. It was going to address it when someone called.

-¿Catherine?

He turned surprised.

-¿Dr. Marcus?

The mentor of Vincent is directed towards it. He noted that he was concerned.

-Catherine, sorry to bother you ..but..I thought you was .. and I wanted to what happened to Vincent. I have read the newspapers and have seen the news .. but I can not believe I did something like that ..

She looked at him not knowing what to say ..

-Dr Markus can assure you he ... he ... things are not what they seem -. Oddly enough, to look into his eyes, he was not able to lie. That man conveyed honesty .. could not deceive.

-He has ... Vincent has secrets .. the last time he was here, he showed me .-Cat..if I can do something for him, please do not hesitate to call me. We appreciated very much, it was ... it's a great doctor and a great person.

Cat smiled gratefully.

- Many thanks Dr. .. really, it's too long a story, but when this is over, will come to tell it ... - she directed his gaze back room -. Gotta go ... Ah! and yes, we're together ..

He smiled at that.

-Glad Catherine .. I am glad so much...

Cat taught him the badge to the gate agent and entered.


A car sped away from the vicinity of the Russian Embassy just before the bomb will explode.

The driver looked at his companion.

- Was it necessary to do that many people will die .. -. Told clearly remorseful.

-Three months I've been buried alive in that damn building .. I want you to fly as high as possible ... - stuck his head out the window. - Damn bastards to die! .. I've been waiting for this so long ..!

-Your bosses have insisted that had to be done as soon as possible ... but I never thought they were so .. direct ..

-By the way, you have not told me yet ... - suddenly ducked his head when passed a convoy of ambulances and patrol cars. He turned to see as they walked away..-not ... you tell me ... -he followed. - That have me out of there?

-We have to watch a woman .. she take us to our goal .. her boyfriend who just escaped from Rikers .. so you see it is very important for those who have hired us ..

He opened the glove while he watching the road and held out an envelope.

-Here are the pictures and all the documentation, they have given me this the morning when I'm told to come for you ... I have no idea when or who to put the bomb ... I was told they would take care of get you out of there ..

His partner took the envelope.

- Ah! they also said that we would be happy to take care of it .. Is the daughter of a policeman and an FBI agent.

Pete took the pictures. Just seeing them started screaming.

- The mother who bore them ... and I knew that this chick was a bitch ...-. hit the dashboard of the car with his fists -.! Knew, I knew ... I swear I will kill you! Damn .. bitch!

Patrick had not yet seen the pictures did not understand the outburst of his brother.

- What, you know her?

-Is your girlfriend .. Mara. . - Threw a photo -. Did you remember her? Is cop, is called Catherine Chandler ... and we have to take what we want.

Patrick looked back at the road. I could not believe it.


Her father was sitting up in bed. It had a complement inflamed eye, split lip, an ugly scar on the jaw and below the pajamas a band wrapped around his chest hinted.

Reynolds was trying to get some sleep. Her eyes opened the door to hear anything more. He smiled and tried to sit up, when he saw his daughter.

- Did you come?

-Yes ... I called Rikers ... - came as he spoke to bed .. - They said you had been beaten.

Cat was confusing in know how to behave.

He could not pretend concern about a person who had done them so much harm. But on the other hand was what he had told Vincent. The had helped. And he had been honest .. grabbed air.

- How are you feeling?

-Better, now that you have come ..

- Why have you stuck?

-I do not know ... must have someone drop you bad .. but the least I see you again ..

-Bob ... - smiled as he said -. Yet do not be fooled .. I could not forgive what you did to Vincent .. but you've helped .. and he asked me to come see you. He says he has not lied.

- Have you seen him?

-Yes..n ... He told me your conversatio and give me notebooks and everything else Rebecca ...-helplessly sat on the bed.

Reynolds did as he had not noticed.

-They're yours. It is your inheritance. I hope that you find many of the answers you seek .. and maybe so you can understand what I did. And forgive

-That will be a bit tricky ..

He got up and started walking around the room.

-There are questions that are not in your books ..-She said looking at him -. ... You really wanted my mother? Why have you left ?... and...- Tears filled his eyes -. Did you have something to do with the death of my father .. Thomas?

He shifted uncomfortably in bed.

-Catherine ... the relationship between your mother and I ... was complicated, but I can assure you that I loved with all my heart. The main problem arose when our interests have become incompatible.- Swallowed. He was drying his mouth -. Could you get me some water?

-Sure -. Cat went to the table and filled a glass.-.. Here you go .-Gave it.

Bob drank slowly and returned. She sat back on the bed.

-When I met your mother She was worked for Muirfield ... did all kinds of experiments. I was working on missing children ... many children in a short space of time. What we found led us to Muirfield ... that was the first time I saw her, I had to question her ... It was love at first sight, but you do not believe that .. smiled watching her daughter who seemed quite skeptical about . - I mean you.

The next day, I went to see her go alone. A week later I got her out to dinner and two months later we were living together. They were the happiest days of my life.

Cat realized that he meant it. There was longing in her voice.

And what happened?

He lay back on the bed.

-Investigating the case reached an impasse. The tracks ended at Muirfield but there was nothing we could use ... until one day a patient attacked your mother in front of me. Was a boy of about 15 years, his eyes turned yellow .. you change your body .. all that... I knew what it was .. When I asked Vanessa told me it was the side effect of a number of vaccines. Of course I did not believe it ... but your mother if you believed it, did not know where it came from that. We discuss because I told him that had to kill all those who had presented these symptoms .. She said she was trying to synthesize an antidote to neutralize the side effects. . Bit her lips -. That was not enough .. I had to kill them ... and I did.

Cat put her hands to her face

-Your mother ... Vanessa broke up with me, said he was a murderer and did not want to see me again ... I never had a chance to tell the real reasons for all that ... - sigh -. Already knew Thomas, were old friends ..I guess the pain took her into his arms ..

cat jumped.

'Sorry .. but my mother wanted to my father...

-Yes ... yes .. of course I have no doubt .. but it was too fast. A few days after I received a separate letter. She told me she was pregnant and did not want me closer to her or the baby.

-And you did ...

-Cat ... it was .. I did a lot of damage .. I went to see the work soon after, just told him I respected his decision, but once you were of age, I would say you.

But she died ...

-Died ... - him bright eyes shining, tears? -. I know that did next ... saving children ... trying to save animals as "your" Vincent. When everything went haywire Muirfield was dedicated to ending the loose ends .. and she was one of the ends. I could have protected her, because I was always watching her; but just then he was not at home ..

- How did you hear ?

-I called your father and I decided that you had enough with the loss of your mother.

Cat stood staring at him.

- What do you know of the death of my father?

-What I was not ... and Muirfield either .I had spoken with him for 24 hours before, he had decided that it was time you knew the truth ... but he did not get to be with you ..

-No .. I saw as trampling...It was horrible .. -. A tear slid down her cheek.

He tried to hold her hand, but she pulled away.

-I had nothing to do with it .. - Cat doubted his sincerity -. I came here looking for Lowan and I met Vincent and you with him... I could not believe that the person who was helping to the beast was you. As he had retained him.. I had not stopped saying his name ..

Cat came up to the window. I could not look at him ... he did not deserve to see her mourn ..

- You know what you did to me that day?, you trashed me ... you took what you wanted and more you turned him into everything he never wanted to be a ruthless murderer .. do not think I can ever forgive you ..? took everything! ... My only hope was to find it ... and found it but look what it cost me that he come back to me, and now that we had gotten ... everything breaks again.

Bob watched. She was devastated, angry and certainly loved that man more than her own life.

-All that move the beasts are much more complicated than it seems .. but he could also be Lowan ..

She nodded.

-I know .. Gabe is determined to kill Vincent .. he don't give me .. I made it very clear ...-She put her hands to her face -. It'scrazy.

-Cat ... - he said, getting serious -. Read what Vincent has given you. There are things that you will mark the way to go .. You have to help each other if you want this to work ...

-The two are very committed to the same ... what are you afraid of me?

Cat crossed him arms.

-Just list like your mother ...

-Thank you .. what is it? What I find in this book?

Bob sighed

-That left him in the hands of Vincent he has to tell you ...

Cat would not insist, was something that had been hanging over his head all the time he had been there.

-Okay .. I'll read it and talk to him .. when I can, but I will ask you something and I hope you are sincere.

Bob joined everything he could. Cat saw the pain reflected in his face.

- Did you bury my mother where she is now?

He smiled.

-Yes ... I went .. Fake a building permit and ... I took her ..

- Why did you do that? I've been bringing flowers to an empty tomb for years .. it was very unfair on your part ..

The lowered his head guiltily.

- Cat...I'm sorry., But I could not trust that the Muirfield out of there .. Gone were his other bodies of workers .. do not ask me why but ... well you was not for the want but it is. First I checked she was still in and then I take her to a safe place ..

- Sure, in the middle of nowhere?

-For this reason ... no one would look there .. But, I see you found her.

-Yeah ... Gabe noticed that the tombstone was broken and then we got it all ..

There was a tense silence... Cat remember Dana soon.

-I have to go ..

Bob looked.

-Please..you come see me .. again...

Cat didn't know what to do or say.

'I'll try ... - ducked his head and left the room as he heard as ambulances approached the hospital.


When he reached the club, JT was alone.

-Hello!. -Cat was surprised to see it -. Did not know you'd be here .. I was still with Gabe.

'-I do not mention CAt, It's enough hard for me to remember ..

- What would you have said the FBI?

-I was just; your ex, it has been crazy, but eventually had to swallow ... I guess they want me to was a bait .. when I arrived there was already a "strange" car parked across the street with two guys inside ..

Cat is look out the window. Yes, there were.

- Did you say something Gabe?

-No, just threatened me .. nothing more, but Cat, is crazy .. is obsessed with you and Vincent, I think it can do anything.

Cat went on.

-Dana is coming - I look at his watch. -She has to be falling.

- Will it help?

She nodded.

-Yes .. saw the news and could not believe it ..

-Now ... if it were not true I neither believe me .. Cat, will be very dicifil out of this -. Began gesturing while spoken -. .. Need a scapegoat to blame someone .. and could not defend .. come on, it would be better to blame a dead ..

Cat shrugged.

Well, then we have to look for one ...

She stood in front of the face of circumstances.

He glanced ..

- Has it been something else? -. Asked.

-No .. but wanted to ask you a favor ...

The crossed arms chest and sat on the arm of the couch.

-You tell ...

- Could you do me a genetic test?

- Why? do you want for something? ...

Cat swallowed before speaking.

-We say I have a bad feeling ...

- With respect to what?

JT realized that was not going to put easy

-I think that I also have the gem..

JT stood up and approached her. I look into her eyes, I was not really scared lying. He breathed deeply resigned.

-Okay ... I'm going to do .. then you will tell me all, ok? We are not to waste time.

He went to his desk .. He took a stick to samples, a syringe and a tube.

-Sit on the chair. Arise left arm sleeve.

Cat obeyed.

With practiced skill that gives you extracted some blood that was left in the tube saved. He closed.

He picked up the stick and gave it.

-On the inside of the cheeks.

Cat did and then gave it.

JT put it in a bag for samples. He put everything in the small fridge.

-It's done .. - sighed -. I hope you're wrong.

-Me too ... On the one hand, it was true, I wanted to be wrong, but it may be that that was the one way to be with Vincent ... to be with him forever ...

-By the way, Vincent has been to see you? . - JT's question brought her back to reality.

She smiled

-Ok .. no need to tell me more -. It was anticipated JT before she started talking.

At that moment the door opened and Dana.

- Hi there!

- Dana! ..-Cat went to her and hugged her. In many ways it felt identified with it.

Dana left her and went to greet JT.

He extended his hand, he is the narrow tightly.

-Glad to see you alive ..

And I'm glad to be alive ..

He turned to Catherine.

-Cat .. should go. I want to see Sam -. Headed to JT -. Sorry we leave so soon ..

-Do not worry, I get it perfectly ..

Catherine looked at him.

Well .. are you doing what I asked you? -. She reminded him.

-Don't worry.

They said goodbye to him and left the club together.


Made the journey to Rikers in car Dana, meanwhile Cat he was by counting all the things that had happened since she left, the people Sam had killed tried to create their own beasts, how they caught their back to Vincent, and his arrest.

He also had to confess that Vincent himself had killed him in self defense .. but ... The worst thing was, he understood that he had killed his chest knocking the heart.

Dana you are deeply impressed with it that counts Catherine. It was too much information to assimilate quickly

They arrived at Rikers when evening fell already. Presented their credentials at the entrance and they had no problem accessing.

Dana introduced herself as his wife and as FBI agent give when asked who wanted it. Cat remained quietly in the background.

The posed a square room with one window protected with bars.

In the center was a table and four chairs. They were waiting about 15 minutes for Sam appeared. He was escorted by two prison guards, wearing handcuffs.

The look on his face said it all when he saw Dana.

The guards sat him and tied his wife to a small iron bar that was bolted to the table.

-We'll be out there if you need us. . - He told the two -. When I finish let us know.

-Thank you ... - Dana thanked him.

Immediately outside the guards, Sam began to sob.

-You're alive ... You're alive ... Dana .. I'm so sorry I've done ... you really have to believe me ..

Dana at first controlled attempt but could not see well. He took her hands.

-Sam, why did you? You've killed so many people ..

The bowed his head.

-I know .. but I was so devastated by the death of Adam ... I could not think clearly ... I just wanted to pay for what they had done to us ..

- Sam .. but you were about to kill me ...

-No .. no ... I just wanted to die them .. you and I have gone before ..

Cat did not believe that ... the bomb was to all less him.

Sam...You cheated me .. Those moments just thinking about you..only you proposed marriage to escape .. How could you do this?

Dana is broken by the pain. The pain of what the man had done to her life, and the pain of seeing him in such a state.

Sam looked into her eyes.

-Adam's death ended all the good that was in me, Dana, after all we went through could not let them go .. had to pay for what we had done.

Dana had tears in his eyes.

-And you did not realize you were becoming one of them ..

Sam under the eyes.

-I noticed when almost done with them ... and I had nothing more to do with my life .. but ... I had to die - he turned his head toward Catherine -. ..

Vincent prevented ... Dana, I had to have paid for what I did .. with death.

- God! What madness! Sam .. do not know if I can ever forgive you ...-Dana separated from His hands ..

she returned to watch the Cat.

- Do you want to ask him something? .. he was the archaeologist who work with us when we were investigating the jewel ..?

Catherine nodded. He pulled a chair to the table. Sam leaned back.

- I haven't to tell you anything ...

Dana hear faced him.

-You will if you want me to forgive you someday ...

Sam walked over to the table,

Cat began to speak.

-Sam .. need to know how you arrived at those tunnels what do you know all that?

The answer soon, I look at Dana before doing so.

- "I suppose you have told Dana that was kidnapped while working for them.. So was I took when I was trying to date bones that had been found at a site in Denmark .. the issue was American and all I found was delivered.. here in NY to date it.

Apart from the bones into multiple fragments of a gemstone ..

Dana told me that looked very much like a jewel that was associated with a serial murder.

He had spent a little over a month since our son was dead .. I obsess with it, worked hours and hours ... almost was not going home. "

Dana nodded while hear him.

Sam continued.

- "I found that the bones had a 1000 years old and who had a special genetic code .. They were a strange animal and human .. I've never seen anything like that .. I wrote down everything and even thought about publishing a study .. but A few days later, some guys came to my office and when next thing I knew I was in a car .. Then I left one of the dungeons you have seen in the tunnels .. I think I was there about one year .. locked, only .. desperate. they feed me, they gave me water .. but nothing else .. was hell.

Then when I thought that the madness had seized me .. a man came to see me. Tony Barnes was called and told me that he wanted to work. I said no .. but I promised him to serve me who killed Adam .. and I promised that suffer the worst of deaths. "

Cat interrupted.

- How was Barnes?

Sam shook his head.

-I do not know .. just saw it this time .. and was not in condition .. nothing was more dead than alive. Then only saw helpers ..

Sam continued.

- "They brought me the remains of excavations to the study ... I saw many hybrid skeletons of all ages .. from 10000 years until a year ago ..

I told those who were responsible for the death of our son ... I was told as I was taught .. Then kill studies Muirfield and your friend JT -. Said addressing Cat - were very good good. Your connection with the beasts was no doubt .. as he wrote his studies .. JT knew one..one alive .. My "bosses" decided they wanted to make their own beasts .. we obtained serum and most of them stayed and I got my revenge on it.

-But the serum .. JT was little .. and everything you used your right?

- Catherine...the important thing was the blood of the beast. At first they did not want to kill the beast ... just wanted his blood ..,but they were out of hand.

Sam put his hands to his head ..

-These people are very dangerous ... do not know what I've come to see ...-was putting on nervous-

- Know..where you worked for them? Where are they hiding?

-NY tunnels are endless and you will not believe but have plenty of life .. life ..

Sam stared

-Do not go down there ... will not get out alive .. and if you ever decide to pick up Vincent ... kill them before they do .. because they'll kill ..

A shiver of fear ran back Cat

Sam returned his gaze to Dana.

-Dana.. I can't think to recover . .. I do not deserve you; You always think everything I did for Adam ..

- Why Adam? .. he would not have wanted you to do it .. To him you'd be a murderer like for me ...

He froze at that. He began to call the guards ..

- Get me out of here! This conversation is already finished!

They entered and after letting go of the table took him away .. Before leaving he turned to Cat

-Do not go down there .. or you'll be dropped to worst hell...

When he was gone, Dana began to mourn inconsolably. Cat held her until relief as she tried to absorb what I had heard.


Gabe walked quickly down the hall had 125 all day talking to the FBI.

He had said countless times that the suspect, Vincent, was extremely dangerous and if not taking exceptional measures could never catch him.

The prosecutor's office felt like the FBI, there was no justification for such a high level of monitoring; with a couple of agents near the apartment of Chandler detective, one in the vicinity of the house of mr. Forbes and occasional monitoring was home, it was more than enough.

His face was all over the newspapers and TV stations in the country. It was impossible not caught. I could not go.

They were totally wrong. He knew what he was capable of Vincent. Of course he could disappear, I had once done. With that kind of vigilance never would catch him. They would not do anything else. He would have to handle on your own.

He had nothing more to do there. Headed to the stairs, I saw from above Tess picked up his jacket and left. Thought to follow, but it was discarded. She was too smart; incordiante, but ready and pillaría.

Had given his word that Vincent Keller end up in jail and had to comply.

After leaving Catherine in his home the day of the arrest of Sam, he was furious. He didn't understand their behavior. Vincent was a beast with a killing instinct. He could never change that. I could not understand how he had returned to his arms. The could give him anything she wanted, they could have a life together.

He recalled that he had been attracted by it nothing more to see it in the gym when the police had come to hunt the vigilante.

It was so delicate, so beautiful. Then he had been unable to identify the feelings that inspired him, but now he realized that from the moment he saw something inside him got hooked to her.

After, when she saving his life,it identify with appreciation .. but gradually saw that I could not take his eyes off her .. she was so perfect, beautiful and wonderfully balanced ... He was falling helplessly to avoid it, even knowing that she was hopelessly in love with Vincent.

When Vincent started to change for the worse, he realized that he had a unique opportunity to get her and I take advantage. Vincent put it on a platter.

And she was his .. While were together everything was great .. Being with her was something fantastic, he felt complete at his side. Those days in Mexico, when they made love for the first time it was as if all her wishes came true and he swear that they would never leave the snatched away. she was his, and the first he had to do was get her away from Vincent.

Gabe shook his head as he sighed. That was his mistake to force her to choose. He could not bear the thought that she could be with another. With another that would never make she happy.

That night when he went into her building after leaving the car in the garage realized that there was a limo parked in the door. Came out extremely strong and tall man who was approaching.

-Mr Lowan, sorry to bother you but someone wants to talk to you .. - He went to him.

Gabe looked at him surprised and cautious.

- Who are you?

Someone inside the limo on the rear window.

It's my chauffeur and bodyguard .. Mr Lowan not worry, not going to happen anything .. would you mind doing me a favor and take a ride with me? .. I assure you I will be back soon ..

I could only hear, clear voice and accent. He saw no one.

- Why should I?

-Because we have a common enemy, Mr Lowan ..

Gabe river.

- What enemy?

Keller-Mr .. and its exceptional qualities.

He went pale. Part of him was scared, but still opened the door and entered.

He met a man about fifty years, this concern was thin, with pale skin and little hair he had red hair. Gave off confidence on all sides.

-Mr Lowan, we offer a deal ... I will give weapons. Mr. Keller to pass a long time in jail .. do not want to kill him, for now.

- Who are you?

-That's a very complicated question .. say I represent a society that needs your help.

- Why should I help '?

-Because if you do not get rid of it, you never have to .. Catherine Chandler

Gabe looked at him a few seconds.

-What I have to do ...

The red-haired man pulled out a briefcase. Inside was an envelope.

-These are remnants of the clothes he wore Mr. Windsor on his death, on them there are clear traces of him.. The FBI is about to receive an anonymous call stating that Vincent Keller is related to the kidnapping of his daughter Tori ...

Gabe took the envelope.

- How have gotten these footprints? Windsor's body was cremated.

The red-haired man smirked.

-All ashes are equal and the security measures of certain sites leave much to be desired. These bodies can not be destroyed.

Gabe could not believe what I was hearing .. bodies? thought .. A chill ran down his spine. She tried to concentrate on the envelope.

-And how the hell do I do that?

He has resources ... not the first time that manages tests right, Mr Lowan?

- What to take with Vincent go to jail?

Your correspondent is back in the car seat.

-Well ... let's say that Mr. Keller is causing us a lot of trouble, need this out of circulation for a while and with all the mess that is to be formed, will be a long season .. entertaining him and his friends. We have to keep them away from us.

Gabe hearing "friends" came to him the image of a head Cat.

- Did not you will hurt Catherine, right?

-No, we'll leave it to you .. except that get in the way when not need ..

-If both he bothered .. why not kill him?

His correspondent was surprised to hear the question.

-No .. nothing further .. Mr Lowan, Mr. Keller is a beautiful and unique .. you can not imagine how special it is for us.

Recalled, the chill that had tour again at these words. No damage, but something told him not to be like Vincent, if I ever fell into his hands.

-Well, do we have a deal? Will?

He had thought a few seconds. She had not liked anything that guy .. but the image of Catherine, while he would love to, came to mind ...

He did everything they was told .. It was a long night full of nerves. He had come home a little time before I got Cat.

He had a moment of regret when he saw her so broken but when she assumed it was him .. all the humiliation, anger and jealousy out ... I had no more doubts. I'd go for him. And now, he learned that the beast has bought her a ring ... I never would consent.

To the true inducers cared little to Vincent leak .. it seemed they had everything under control, but he did not. If he could not have her, no Vincent would.

But first get it, dead or alive, and he did not care.

Under the stairs slowly. When he had come down, saw the police left a note in the of desk Catherine. He walked over and read it. Took it and put it in his pocket, immediately afterwards he left there with a smile.


Beginning to fall when the sun reached the cemetery where they were buried Tori. The Windsor had an exaggerated white marble mausoleum.

Lawyers and the little family that had took care of everything. He brought her a bouquet of white roses night after the funeral and left it in the door.
He wished with all his might that she had forgiven him. Forgive him for not protecting her and not love her as she wanted.

The memories of all that had happened echoed in his head, the images and sounds of that fateful day.

He walked slowly, I could still see some people walking among the tombstones and mausoleums rich.

The pantheon of Windsor was huge. A colossal classical structure. Columns with Ionic capitals framing the entrance. The door was a thick black glass. You could not see anything of what was inside. Vincent was reflected in it. What he saw was not any fun, I was tired and haggard. And they had not even been two days.

Waited patiently until to be alone.

When he became aware of it, went to the door and freed the beast. Clear the lock broke. He slowly walked inside. There was not much light, but for him it was more than enough. He left his backpack at the entrance and began to search for the tomb of Tori.

He saw an urn for ashes over a table in the center of the pantheon. Curt were the ashes of Windsor. He took ... he immediately felt something that was not Windsor.

He looked around scared.

There were mothers, grandparents .. the pedigree of Windsor.

In one of the niches could read Helen Windsor, died in 2011. That could be the mother of Tori .. I looked closely and saw that the stone was broken .. inside there was nothing ..

Just opposite noticed something that caught his attention. There was a niche with marble on the floor. The slab was halved.

Vincent was running toward him. No, it could not be ... could not have come this far. He took the marble slab and could clearly read the name: Victoria Windsor 1987-2014 ... The bestial instincts Vincent awoke with more force than ever. He threw the plate and took the coffin from the hole. When he was out, easily tore the wooden lid.

His suspicions were confirmed. It was empty. Vincent stood up took the coffin and threw it against the wall. At the same time, anger and sadness came over him, he looked up and a piercing roar came from his throat.


Cat came to her apartment when had already done at night. she was tired, it had been a hard day. And the conversation with Sam had left very touched.

She pulled out her phone from her pocket. It was off. She recalled that it had been off when she entered the hospital to see her father. She lit it and put it in the stand in the entrance along with the keys.

She removed her jacket and went to the bathroom, needed a good shower. She had hopes that Vincent showed up that night.


He came through the window of his room.

Cat was asleep. I noticed in your beats and how she breathe. It was nice to see it as well .. so relaxed. So far from everything.

He put the bag down took off his jacket and began to undress. When he finished he got into bed with her, he hit everything he could and hugged her. Cat woke up in the moment that she notice.

- Vincent ... you came !-. Said, speaking softly. She turned around to face him. It was dark but even so you could see in your eyes that something had happened.

Something bad.

- What happen? . -She asked. The response by the kiss; eagerly kissed and hugged her as hard as he could.

And as he kissed her began to undress. After what he had discovered, he needed to be with her. He needed all his body and soul gave.

Cat did not resist, she leave him to. she did not want to stop ... she could not help make every second she spent with him, but I knew something was wrong.

When they had undressed and was looked at each other knowing exactly what the other felt. Vincent was placed on top of her while Cat crossed her legs behind ... He grabbed her hips and penetrated her ... He closed his eyes, he felt so safe, so powerful in her.. Cat threw her head back to feel him. But Vincent can not move, I was just there, still .. She approached him and kissed him ..

-Vincent. Whether it is .. then ... now enjoy that we have each other.

When you hear it, suddenly woke up, Cat was right ... they had each other.

He buried his face in her neck deep breathing her scent, while it was moving more and more quickly and Cat with him. Their breaths were accelerating,until no more could..

They were cuddled up in bed when Cat asked.

- What's happened?

He closed his eyes. She noticed that he was sad.

-Your father told me something that left me very worried ... I have gone to the tomb of Tori ..

Cat sat up, still had trouble talking about Tori ...

- And?

-His body was not there ... - he could hardly speak -. Catherine, they've taken her and not just her, her mother too ... and the ashes of the urn were not the Windsor .. Do not ask me how this is .. but it was that they were not his.

Cat mouth with her hand over her mouth.

- My Dod -. She rose from the bed and began to walk around the room ..

Vincent was surprised to see her so upset.

- What's wrong with Cat?

She stopped and looked at him.

'I've been watching my father .. and I said that he -. Put much emphasis to say it -. ...He was who changed my mother an another grave. He took her to protect her from Muirfield ... they feared might take her. . - She was almost crying. - But Vincent, if someone is doing this and Muirfield is gone .. who does to take them away ...!?

He stood up and hugged her.

-About your mother, I thought so .. that stone was special, who had buried her He loved her..

Cat looked at him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

-I'm sorry about Tori ...

He kissed her on the forehead.

-I know ... sorry I could not protect her .. never been able to protect her.

Vincent...- she stroked his face .. - not is your fault .. Today I also talked to Sam ..

At that moment the phone rang. Cat not remember where you left off.

At the entrance.

Cat went to catch... what would have happened? It was almost midnight.

-Yes? Hello? ... He returned to the bedroom.

They were slow to respond.

-Cat, I'm Gabe..

- What the hell you want to these hours ?.- She was very angry.

-I'm your sister, ...

Cat opened his eyes wide, and stared at Vincent.

-What's with Heather?

-I have just been at the airport .. because you were unable to locate .. I've done a favor ..

Taking a deep breath before speaking. Vincent had begun to dress. Cat got up and grabbed his arm, shaking her head.

- Where are you? .. What do you want?

-I want you to come .. I'm in Vincent's house-boat ..

- Why there?

-Let's say this is a neutral ground ..

-No.. you can think of to hurt ..

-I dont never do .. we only maintain a pleasant and enlightening conversation ...

- Put her! Gabe?

He had hung.

She began to look nervous messages that she had. There were... 5 voice messages from her sister. She opened one of them.

-"Cat going to NY today, we have to talk about something very important... not scared is not bad heard the laughter of Heather ..-I arrive at 11:15 pm, can you please come get me ... let me? a message, I will now embark. I love you ".

Before she could do anything, Vincent was fully clothed, had put his jacket and headed for Window ..

-Vincent .. no .. no .. I will... certainly not hurt me .. can not go ..

Vincent did not understand reasons.

-I'm tired of all this .. I'm going to end right now ..

Cat stood in front of him.

-No, it sure is a trap .. will be waiting to go with me. All NYPD will be there ...

-Cat, I'll go, try not to hurt .. but I can not promise anything.

He came out of the window and disappeared.

Cat went into the bedroom as fast as she could dressed. She took the keys to his car, her gun, turned off the lights and opened the apartment door.

Suddenly, a shadow pushed. She fell to the ground hitting his head, was slightly dazed and dropped the gun.

A hands grabbed her jacket and lifted. A deep voice said in her ear:

-Hi Mara! you can not imagine the desire I had to see you again ...

She tried to speak, but could not. Felt a blow to the neck and then all was darkness ...

To be continued ...
