"I still can't believe I actually caught one." Haven said giddily as Duke helped her off the boat after their latest fishing trip.

Duke held up her little fish and said, "One thing's for sure, this will definitely win the ribbon for teeniest catch." He laughed as Haven gave him a bit of a swat for saying that. "Who's being the smart ass now?"

"What can I say?" Duke said as he hopped over the boat, onto the dock, "You just bring it out of me."

"I highly doubt you have any issues on bringing that part of yourself out on your own." Haven replied with a smile and laugh as she spoke.

"True." Duke replied with a grin, "But it got you to smile." Duke pointed at Haven and laughed teasingly when she rolled her eyes and made her way down the dock.

When Haven realized that Duke wasn't following, she turned around and called out, "Coming?" with her hands raised out to her sides in an 'what are you waiting for' manner.

"In a minute." Duke called back, "Just enjoying the view."

Haven shook her head with a laugh because she hadn't met anyone quite like Duke before. "Take a picture, it'll last longer!" She said with a view and couldn't believe it when Duke pulled an Instamatic camera out of his pocket and said to her, "As you wish." Duke raised the camera up and took a picture of a laughing Haven.

Haven walked down the sidewalk as she looked at the picture in her hand of the one she took of Duke and herself with his camera after he took hers. It was only fair after all. If he could get one of her then she wanted one of him. The silly picture of her and Duke was even better.

"Hey!" Haven heard called out to her and saw Audrey and Nathan approaching. "Hey." Haven said back to her sister.

"Where have you been?" Audrey asked but as soon as she got close enough, she knew. "Ugh, fishing. Again?"

Haven slipped the picture in her bag as she said, "Is that a problem?"

"I don't think you spending so much time with Duke is a good idea." Audrey replied like the protective older sister she was.

"You don't even know him." Haven said with crossed arms and a scoff.

"Hate to break this up," Nathan said sarcastically, "But we have a call."

"That concerns me why?" Haven asked, unsure why Nathan was looking at her when he said they had a call.

"Because you're still deputized and if you want to keep it that way, you gotta put the hours in." Nathan replied and both Haven and Audrey looked at him with questioning faces. It made sense to them when Nathan added in, "The chief's words. Not mine."

"No way, Haven has loony bin?" Haven said with crass as they approached the building.

"Haven" Audrey said with a warning tone, "Haven has a Mental Hospital." she corrected.

"We prefer to call it the Freddie." Nathan added in and proceeded to tell them why and who founded the place...and why.

"Did that guy go into the water during the troubles?" Haven asked as they walked around the building.

"No." Nathan replied, "He was just crazy." Nathan then realized Haven had asked about the troubles and he looked at Audrey in question. "What?" Audrey said in response to that look, "I told you I was going to talk about about things with Haven." And that was that.

The trio walked around the Freddie and the place looked like a mad house, no pun intended. "Of all the times you bring me along." Haven muttered as she took a step back to get out of the way of a random projectile. Things that would normally make her scream were just run of the mill for her now. That's what happens when one lives in Haven for too long apparently.

Nathan called in for backup saying the inmates have taken over the asylum. Haven chuckled at that and Audrey raised her brows at her, "What?" Haven replied, "You're not telling me this isn't just like that movie we saw a few years ago." Audrey thought for a moment and really couldn't disagree.

Just then a nurse came over and gave them the gist of what was going on and said that someone was in side trying to calm them down. Right after she said that, a man was thrown through the window. While Nathan was also calling in for a medic, Haven muttered to herself, "He didn't do a very good job."

"Who's in charge here?" Audrey asked and the nurse pointed through the broken window. "That's him, that's the doctor!" Haven looked over at the window and thought the guy looked like one of the infected from 28 days later. She was about to say that aloud but Audrey stopped her when she said, "Don't even say it." Oh, Audrey knows her sister well.

Audrey and Nathan were stealthy as they went inside with Haven right behind them. "Can I leave yet? I mean, I'm not exactly qualified for this" Haven whispered as she followed them.

"Coming from the girl who is a better cat burglar than Catwoman herself and can talk her way out of getting arrested." Audrey replied as she looked at Haven. Just like Audrey couldn't argue with her about a fact earlier, Haven couldn't argue with her about that.

Nathan looked at each of them with furrowed brows. "Long story." Haven and Audrey replied simultaneously.

Getting back to the matter at hand, Nathan said "Well, we can't shoot the doctor and we can't go in that room...so why are we sneaking up on him?"

"Because Haven doesn't have a SWAT team, it has a dispatch lady that calls you hun." Audrey replied, "So we're following FBI protocol."

"Which is?" Nathan inquired.

Haven was the one that answered, "Engage the suspect verbally and mitigate". Audrey looked surprised to hear Haven say that, to which Haven said, "You act like I never listen to you."

"So, we're going to talk to him?" Nathan asked, once again breaking up Audrey and Haven's side sister conversations.

"Pretty much." Audrey replied, "Yeah."

Nathan looked unimpressed by her FBI protocol and Haven had to hold in her laugh because of it.

"Doctor Loucassi! This is FBI Agent Audrey Parker!" Audrey called out but was answered with a small table being thrown at their direction. "Okay...do you think we could tase him?"

Nathan got a quick look at the Doc's location, "I don't think a taser would reach."

Haven spotted a nearby medicine cabinet and went over to it, "Let's wing it then." She said as she pulled some bottles of ether from the cabinet, tossing one to Nathan and another to Audrey. "Ether?" Nathan asked with a raised brow.

Audrey loved the idea and kissed her sister's head, "I'm so glad you're not a criminal, because you'd be very scary if you were."

"Thanks?" Haven replied, unsure if that was a compliment or not before she and Audrey threw their bottles of ether into the room with the doctor. The ether seemed to be working because it wasn't long before the doctor was on his knees, coughing. Nathan threw in his bottle as well and that did the trick. The doctor was soon passed out after that one.

Nathan couldn't dispute the results and gave Haven a compliment, "Good thinking. You might make a good cop after all."

Haven narrowed her eyes a little in thought, "I honestly can't tell when you're being sarcastic." Granted she never actually wanted to be a cop, but still. She couldn't tell whether or not he was being sarcastic.

Nathan just smirked in reply, making it clear he wasn't going to let her know either way.

Nathan reported back that they had the doctor contained inside the Freddie and inquired about the security cameras while Audrey questioned the nurse about the patients. After his call he checked in with them, "Any patients missing?" he asked.

"Three." Audrey replied, "They were all in the room with him when the jungle juice spilled."

"If it did to them what it did to the doctor..." The nurse began then Audrey asked, "But do you really think that a drug spill could do this?"

"Eh, I've seen worse." Nathan said with a bit of a grin, "I went to college."

Haven approached just in time to hear that and couldn't help but say, "Maybe if my college was like this, I wouldn't have dropped out."

Audrey rolled her eyes at the two of them and got back to work.

"What are you thinking?" Nathan asked Audrey as he and Haven followed her.

"The doctor looked different." Audrey replied.

Nathan needed more than that, "How so?"

Audrey gestured to Haven and said, "You can say it now."

Haven didn't miss a beat when she said, "He looked like one of the infected from 28 Days later."

"Exactly." Audrey said as she made an emphasized hand gestured, "Like a combo of all of Haven's crazy."

"Hey!" Haven said, offended, thinking for a moment Audrey was referring to her.

"I'm pretty sure she was talking about the town." Nathan said to Haven and Audrey had a 'that's what I was going to say' expression on her face.

"Oh." Haven said quietly, feeling really embarrassed in that moment, "Moving on."

Nathan shook his head with a chuckle and spoke to Audrey, "You know, I think you like the weird. You both do, that's why you're still here."

"No." Audrey replied, "We're here because a woman that was here could have been our mom and the other our aunt. And I'd like to find out." Audrey covered it so Haven didn't feel the need to add anything in and just followed them down the stairs back to the truck.

Nathan, however, wasn't buying it, "Uh huh." Was his skeptical reply. "Right, and you run around in the Mystery Machine..."

Audrey cut him off when she heard something on the radio, "Nathan, shush." she told him so she could hear better. Thefts of clothing from clothes lines were being reported and Audrey looked over at Nathan and Haven. "What would escaped mental patients need?" she asked, though she knew the answer.

"Clothes." Haven replied and Audrey looked proud as she opened the door for her sister to get in. Nathan couldn't believe he didn't make the connection and hurried over to the driver's side so they could embark on the next step of their Scooby-Doo meets 28 Days later style mystery.

The trio arrived at the house where the reported thefts came from and a woman ran around from the back of the house. "Thank goodness! They're still here, they have my son in the back."

Nathan and Audrey pulled their weapons and Haven followed them to the back. What was found was...honestly surprising for Haven. One of the patients was bouncing on the trampoline with the young boy and the other had dandelions in his hair, enjoying the show. The dandelion man saw them and said "Hello there! He's always been a child at heart. Granted I would be in there as well if I was younger."

Haven's eyes widened as she said to Audrey, "The doc goes nutter butters and the patients get better?" Audrey was just thinking the exact same thing. This was definitely...not normal. Now the question was...what exactly was causing it and why.

They brought the men back to the Freddie and as they walked up the stairs Haven asked the one she referred to in her mind as the dandelion man, "So you're a florist?"

"Oh yes," He replied, "The weather up here is perfect for it." He then stopped and really looked at Haven, and Audrey beside her, "I remember" He said as he pointed at Audrey, "Snapdragons" he turned to Haven and said, "Lilacs. I remember." Haven thought this was really bizarre, especially since her favorite flower was indeed lilac. She didn't have time to think about that because the dandelion man didn't seem to be doing too well now.

Audrey and Haven both reached out to catch him as he almost collapsed. "He was fine..." Haven said, not understanding what could have reverted him back. Not only did the patients go back to their original state, but the doctor as well. The doctor explained what could have happened to him, but not the how. There wasn't a way his medication could have done such a thing like that.

The nurse came over to them and said Lily was still missing. "We have to find her." The Doc said, "She can be very violent."

Audrey looked at Haven but didn't get anything out due to Haven saying, "Don't say it. I'm putting in the hours remember." Audrey narrowed her eyes at her sister before they all headed out to find Lily.

On the way to the car, Haven sent out a quick text asking for something that she had a feeling she would need in the near future.

They went to Lily's home and found her husband, Ray just coming home with a bag of groceries. He thanked the doctor because Lily was fine and he was grateful. That changed when they went inside and saw the place ripped apart.

"She must have changed back." The doctor commented.

"How? She was fine!" Ray shot back at him.

The Doctor straightened up and said, "I don't know, yet."

"Where would she go?" Audrey asked Ray

"If she's back to the way she was, then she'd be anywhere with a piano." Ray replied.

"Why?" Haven asked him.

His face was sad as he replied, "She wants to compose music."

"Okay, let's find her." Nathan said as he headed for the door.

Audrey stopped him when she said, "Wait, Nathan. Maybe we should test his medicine to make sure it's what caused this."

"It's a simple test." The doctor added.

"Fine, you two test it out. Haven, you're with me." Nathan instructed and Haven nodded in agreement. Haven then turned to Ray and said, "We'll find her."

As Haven, Ray, and Nathan walked towards the Shiny Scupper, Haven asked "Why pianos?"

"She liked to compose on them. She said they felt...right." Ray replied.

"Right?" Nathan asked, thinking there was more to it than that.

"I don't want to talk about it." Ray replied and Nathan gestured for Haven to stay back, so she did. Haven was within earshot though so she heard Ray's story about the accident and everything that led up to what happened to his wife. It was a heartbreaking story.

Haven was just about to excuse herself when Duke came out of the Shiny Scupper with a big fish...ornament...thing. Haven really hoped it wasn't a taxidermy, or whatever the process was in regards to fish, kind of fish. Because that's just creepy.

Nathan laid right into Duke the second he saw him, "Where'd you steal that from?"

"Came with the happy meal." Duke replied as he walked past Nathan, and Haven covered her mouth to hide her snicker.

"Yeah, right." Was Nathan's response to Duke.

Duke sent a wink over to Haven then turned to Nathan. "You caught me Nate. The Scupper was giving it away and I was planning on using it to decorate the boat. Now, do I need a permit for that officer?" After saying that, Duke grinned in an 'I thought so' manner and went over to his truck to load up the fish.

Nathan approached Duke like he was going to say something and Haven cut him off from doing so, "Nathan, come on." Haven held her hands out in a 'are you seriously doing this right now' way as she looked at him.

Nathan decided that it wasn't worth it and waved Duke off, heading back to the Scupper. Haven thought that was going to be it, but Duke continued on by saying, "You know what's fascinating, Nate? You get a badge and get to harass me."

Nathan simply replied, "Because you're a low life criminal."

Haven was not going to get caught in the middle of this and said, "I'm out." as she held up her hands then went over to Ray, "Let's check inside." Haven followed Ray in as she shot both Nathan and Duke glares. Duke didn't like the fact he had offended Haven, but that's just the way things were between him and Nathan.

Duke approached Nathan and gestured towards where Haven was as he said, "New partner? I have to admit, I like her better than the old one."

Nathan didn't like where this was going, especially since he knew that Haven and Duke had been spending time together. However, he stayed silent to see what Duke was going to say next.

"Let me ask you something." Duke said as he moved his hand over his chin, "I mean, does your other partner know you're not" Duke pulled his hand away from his nose as he made a Pinocchio reference, "a real boy?" Nathan still wasn't giving Duke a reaction so Duke then asked, "Does she know about the things you've done?"

The exchange between Duke and Nathan was cut off when Haven and Ray came out of the Scupper and Ray said, "Hey, she's here." But Nathan and Duke still seemed to be staring each other down.

"You're both big boys, contest over." Haven said sarcastically, hoping that would finally diffuse things.

"Have a nice day Nathan." Duke said to him before he headed back to his truck.

Nathan passed Haven on the way inside, "I'll be right there." She said before going over to Duke. Nathan wanted to stop her but he had to take care of things. He didn't like the idea of leaving Haven alone with Duke, but he obviously couldn't stop her.

Haven looked back to make sure Nathan went inside before closing in on Duke. "What was that about?" she asked him.

"Hello to you too." Was his sarcastic reply. Before Haven could say anything else he said, "You didn't tell me you were a cop." as he gestured to the badge that was clipped on her bag.

"I'm not. Audrey made Nathan deputize me. It was either that or me breaking the law to find out what was going on with her cases." Haven replied, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Keep your friends close and enemies closer kind of thing."

"You're not a fan of the police system I take it?" Duke asked, not knowing this part about her.

"I'm a fan when it works in my favor." Haven answered honestly.

Duke chuckled as he pointed at her, "You. I like you." he then reached into his car and handed her the item she asked for earlier. "Consider this a few days early birthday present."

Haven took it from him and pulled the taser out of the paper bag with a pleased smile before she put it into her own bag. "Thanks, Duke. I appreciate it."

"Anytime." Duke replied, meaning that, and got into his truck. "You coming by later?"

Haven grinned playfully, "Maybe."

Duke raised his brow, "Maybe?"

Haven grinned again, "Maybe."

Duke shook his head with a chuckle, "Maybe it is then." He started up his truck and drove off, giving Haven a wave through the window as he did.

Haven waved back before she patted her bag, knowing the taser was safely inside, then headed into the Scupper.
