(NOTE): Hello dear readers,
I like to call these types of chapters (Fragments) they have some information before, during or after cases. I think i will use them to link some things together. I know they long, but they come with a reword?
So enjoy this one :)
Chapter 7: Fragment I
The next day the agents were back in Valoran at the headquarters. Caitlyn is at her office with Vayne Lucian and Ashe. Without knocking Jayce and Lux entered. The blonde woman is carrying two files in a hand and Jayce had a laptop and coffee mug occupying both of his. She closed the door as Jayce connected the laptop to the screen attached to the wall. He turned it on and sat down next to Vayne on the couch. The black sliding panels moved down covering the windows and the office is dark. Caitlyn took a glimpse at her wrist watch, eight sharp.
"Darius and Draven Blood, they also go by the blood brothers. Released from prison a month ago, two weeks before the shootings had started." She explained showing pictures of them in prison uniforms. "They were charged for murder and the use of brutal force." She then showed a picture of a man with a thick long black beard, dark black eyes and an angry look on his face. "This is Boram Darkwill, a drug lord. The founder of the organisation Noxus. If you ask why I know this? It is because I don't. He is a ghost and this is the only thing we know about him when Jason and I made the connection."
"So this is how they ended up in Noxus." Said Lucian in a matter-of -a-fact tone.
"Indeed, he was released after the evidence were lacking the 'potential'. That was in the same month when the Blood brothers were also released after guess what, the lack of evidence." She informed. Caitlyn assumed that the evidence were killed to ensure their silence.
"So that confirms their connection to the Du Couteau and what they want with him." Added Ashe.
"Well, it is about what Darkwill wants with Du Couteau's property." Corrected Lux.
"What do we know about Darius?" asked Caitlyn.
"Nothing, his time in prison tells us little. He was attacked by a group of other drug cartels calling themselves the Lokfarian Frost Serpents, wow fancy." She said snickering "He broke their limbs and detached their jaws." She showed a short film of him fighting the group taken form the prison cameras. He was calm, cold blooded and no sign of mercy or remorse showed on his face. After he had finished he sat on the bench and even the jailers were cautious when they approached him.
"Do we know where Darkwill is right now?" asked Vayne and Lux answered shaking her head to the sides.
"We will make it our priority then." Ordered the SAC

The lift stopped moving when it arrived at the crime floor she is working at. Quinn made her way to the working space after she had opened the glass door, the same atmosphere hit her like her first time here. The quit place had little people occupying it. There were the three agents she saw last time and another she didn't recognize. Now that team is back in Valoran the space will be filled soon of the other agents.
The woman is gazing at a paper in her hand so Quinn did the right and good thing, introduce yourself to the new teammate she instructed herself.
"Good morning." She greeted with a soft smile. The first thing she noticed is the scar under the woman's right eye, it spelled the number six in roman. The scar is not really visible as it was inked making it look like a tattoo. The other tattoo she saw is on the woman's neck. It shaped a gear, like that one they have at her house in the broken huge wall clock she and her father could never fix.
Dark blue eyes met her hazel brown ones. The woman is a lot taller than her now she is standing right in front of her. "Good morning." Greeted Alison back with a grin of her own. "You are the other new agent" she said pointed at her.
"The other?" she asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, I am the first one." cleared Alison smiling "Nice to meet you, Alison Goodwin." She introduced herself with a hand shake.
"Amelia Quinn, nice to meet you too." Taking the hand and shaking it.
From the right side Quinn spotted a well-known blonde "Oh look, I love it when I easily find the things i want." Rested Lux her hands on their shoulders.
"Things?" she asked while making a face.
Lux half-raised her eyebrows "Really?" she said earning a small chuckle form Alison. "Well boss needs you both in her office."
"She didn't say why?" asked Alison bringing her eyebrows together.
Lux only shrugged then waved when she walked away with Jayce mouthing a 'Good luck'.
#
They both walked the short distance to the SAC's office, the glass is blocked by the black tiles and she couldn't see anything from the outside. Alison looked over her shoulder to see if Quinn was still behind her "What?" asked Quinn when Alison frowned slightly.
"Just checking if you were still behind me." She replied
"Still?" now Alison didn't know if it is Quinn's way of using the minimum words possible to ask a question or it was her hummer.
"I can't hear your footsteps." Said Alison knocking on the door. She heard a come in form the other side when Quinn thanked her for the complement.
They entered and she found Ashe, Vayne, Lucian and the SAC in the room. Ashe moved her head to the side trying to look behind her, most likely at Quinn. She gasped surprisingly when she saw her.
"Ashley Grey?" addressed Quinn the frost eyed.
"Wow, I can't believe it." stood Ashe up walking to the woman. They hugged then the frost eyed backed a little to look at the woman's face "I thought it was just the name when I heard it." she cupped her face and Quinn chuckled lightly.
Alison saw the exchange, she also found the empty chair Ashe just left so she took the opportunity and claimed it and smiled to Lucian sitting on the opposite chair. the frost eyed didn't seem to care about that as she continued her conversation with the woman.
Alison nodded to the SAC and Vayne for a silent greet then Ashley made her way to Vayne and sat next to her on the couch.
"You missed the morning briefing, but your partners will fill you in later on." Announced the SAC handing Alison two identical papers. "Miss Quinn, it is finely good to meet you." Quinn walked to the desk and extended her hand for Caitlyn's then she sat next to Ashe on the couch. Alison handed her the other paper and there were information about a resent abduction. The name of the victim was redacted as well as the profiler's name.
"I want you to tell me everything about the side effects an abducted possibly tortured victim could go through." Explained Caitlyn.
Her expression the same she uses when she wants information about something she expected her agents to provide if given the chance. Her eyes were the same when she interviewed her. Ever the professional, thought Alison. Her eyes went to the paper in her hand and studied every possible information that was hidden behind the black ink.
"Is the victim alive or dead?" asked Alison leaning back.
"Alive" said SAC ,then she questioned back "How will that help you?"
"Let me elaborate." Answered Quinn almost immediately with a relaxed easygoing tone. She knew exactly what Alison meant "She is asking if the victim is FBI or CIA." Explained the woman earning a smile form Alison.
In a search and rescue situation the dead and the hopeless case are always the FBI agents, they will commit suicide if they can't stand the pain they are in, just in case they break and start talking about things they should not even think about. The CIA on the other hand are always Alive, the agent's training possibly contained some torturing procedures providing them some immunity against crucial and brutal assaults.
"If you mean it that way, then he is dead." Corrected the SAC herself on her previous statement. So the victim is a male and an agent concluded Alison form the words provided to her.
"Is the agent active?" asked Quinn, their minds were on the same track.
The SAC nodded.
Alison didn't like how Vayne and Lucian were quit this whole time. Do they know who the victim is? She thought that this was a test of some sort. Is this a new case? And who is this victim.
"Are we suspecting someone?" questioned Alison to that she saw Vayne smirk and Lucian reached for his inside jacket pocket, for his wallet and handed Vayne ten bucks.
Caitlyn had her eyebrows raised at both of her agents and Lucian only shrugged.
#
Ashe remembered the last time she saw Amelia, in north Valoran where her home is. It turned out that Amelia used to work for the Executive Assistant Director, code name Jarvan. Quinn had told her about the real reason behind her visit to the north. Indeed it was illegal for her to be there, but now that she knew for whom she worked, Ashe decided to ignore it. back then the Freljord had suffered from the civil war, queen Avarosa took over and ended the war between the clans.
During the negotiations between the clans Ashley was considered number one successor to the throne, but many objected and wanted her dead. Ashley The Avarosan was rescued by former what they used call themselves 'the hustlers' and Jarvan. Short after she knew who they were, Graves and Tobias. Quinn had never met the two, she didn't know who they were and they haven't met her as well.
"Well we can't underestimate the situation then." Said Lucian standing up to leave.
"Grey and Goodwin, you two stay" -ordered The SAC then she nodded to Amelia- "Parks and Vayne will take care of you." She informed looking between Lucian and his partner.
Ashe sat down where Lucian stood up from seconds ago, she looked at her partner with suggestive eyes, but she shrugged. Caitlyn spoke and they listened.
"The Du Couteau sent his elder daughter and son to clear somethings out. I sought him, told him if he really isn't involved in all of this then he should cooperate with us." She eyed her "Is there something between you and Katarina Du Couteau?"
"What?!" surprised she questioned "No there…." She then trailed of.
Her partner snorted and Ashe glared at her. Alison looked away. Caitlyn didn't say anything, still with her natural expression she wanted for both of them to speak.
"…Here goes nothing" surrendered Ashe sighing heavily to the stupid grin on her partner's face. "We…I….well….. there was a kiss."
"She made out with her."
"She started it."
"Oh, so you cooperated!"
A cough form the SAC shut the both of them up. "That is not my point. I want you to do the questioning, the usual. So again, can you do that?"
"Did I ever disappoint?"
#
Caitlyn had left her office heading to the elevator, she pressed on the Butten to call for it and after three minutes he door opened to the sides as she went inside, hitting the button to the seventh floor and heading for the forensic labs. She had thought about what happened in San Diego. The bullet she firing from her rifle ending Julio's life. If she didn't do it in time, she would have lost another agent.
The elevator reached its destination and Caitlyn stepped out. She took a left and walked in a short corridor. A receptionist greeted her and she returned it with a smile. He stammered as he informed the lab about the SAC, she didn't even smile that wide and even avoided any eye contact so why is he so nervous.
"Hi, Cait" a sweet voice called form behind her and she turned to face the women she knew the voice had to belong to her. Soraka grinned softly and she stopped just in front of the agent. "What can I do you for you?" she then asked.
"Can you examine these for me?" she requested handing over a two plastic bags. In the first one were three red pills, in the other small see-though was a bullet. "My agents don't know about this and I would like to keep it this way, am I clear?"
"Crystal"

Ashe asked herself how it is possible for a person to get even sexier when wearing casual clothes. Katarina Du Couteau arrived at the floor they were supposed be at half an hour ago. It wasn't the working floor she and her team were stationed at. This one is just below, they use this if they receive guests and other non-agents. The crime department held the first six floor making the seventh is shared between the forensics and the CyWatch. From the eighth to the fourteenth the officials and high seats were. The last and fifteenth floor the elevator could reach from this side of the building is the director's office and the main FBI management.
Katarina made her way to where the two agents waited for them.
"Miss and mister Du Couteau, thank you for answering to our call." Greeted Ashe the siblings. The adopted son didn't walked next to her, he was walking behind her.
"I am here to clear our name agent, so please let's get started." Their eye locked for seconds and Katarina half smiled.
There was this totally fierce cropped black faux leather biker jacket, completely killing it in sleek looking beauty with exposed silver zip pockets. Teamed with skinny jeans to cause a little chaos in the frost eyed brain. She broke the eye and the hand contact. "Follow me please." She walked and Alison had already opened the door the small room.
"You can stay outside with me." Alison blocked the door way with her arm after Katarina had stepped inside. The woman turned around and nodded to him. He followed the agent back to the hall and sat on the couch.
The room didn't have any windows and there were no cameras, this is not and FBI questioning. This is a questioning the independent special team askes anyone who is willing to share some useful information.
There is a table in the middle with two chairs, Katarina sat on the one facing the door and Ashe sat in front of her. Then it begun.
"Tell me about the arrange marriage your sister was involved in?"
Katarina looked to the side and sighed "Here we go."
"You can't answer that?" questioned the agent then there was a small eye contact that Katarina broke leaning back in her chair.
"They had stolen some documents, if given to the right person they will destroy the company." I swear on Avarosa's bow she is lying.
"Where they at the mansion when we were supposed to meet your father?"
"No, but they threatened him if he to say anything."
Ashe cocked her eyebrows to see where the green-eyed was staring. Katarina looked her in the eyes and chortled "Why are you sitting over there?" she asked playfully. The table didn't leave a huge space between them, Katarina can reach for the women with her hand if she sat straight in her chair.
Ashe arched her eyebrows even further and opened her mouth to say something but she closed it.
"Come over here." Said Katarina huskily.
"No." declared Ashe glaring at her "Your father is-"
"My father is innocent, why would he sent invites to FBI agents if he is 'negotiating' with criminals. He even helped you find your man." She interrupted with a serious tone, but still calm and even. "So are we done here?" she asked. Katarina Du Couteau has a point.
Ashe didn't say a word when she stood up nodding and heading for the door. Katarina walked behind her. When she reached for the key unlocking it, a body leaned on the door preventing it from opening. Ashe lifted her head up to seek explanation for the behavior, but Katarina held a hand out and locked the door again.
Their eyes met and she backed when the green-eyed approached her like a predator nearing its prey, her back hit the corner and arms imprisoned her there. "I can't." she denied in the most coherent way manageable.
Katarina moved closer, she rested her forearms on the wall and between them is the platinum blonde head, but she wasn't touching her. "Why not?" she asked in a low rough tone making Ashe swallow. Ashe's lips made a thin line and she didn't say anything. "Look at me."
Katarina waited when the woman raised her head and the jade green forest met the wrath of the winter. They are pure and glowed brighter than any gem her sister had bought in her entire life. She gritted her teeth, she didn't know where she is, lost in that icy storm. Katarina saw a sign of relief in the woman's face and her eyes dropped to pink icy lips. She wetted her own.
The frost eyed didn't resist when Katarina leaned forward to kiss her vehemently. The fire in Katarina's mouth melted her lips into a rhythm Katarina played.
Slowly Katarina moved her hands from the wall and placed them on the very slim waist bringing the women closer to her. Even slower her lips parted from the melted ice. "You can walk to the table, or I will walk you to it"
What is she even talking about, Ashe didn't hear the woman speak, only the butter-soft lips move. She looked at the table, then back to the lips. She tangled her fingers in flames of hair and around the woman's neck bringing her in for another kiss. The hands on her waist tightened and she was lifted up. Ashe sustained herself around the red-haired's hips when Katarina carried her to the table.
She sat her down and Ashe's light blue shirt was untucked form her pants, Katarina's hands moved and oh gods they are everywhere. They started from her ribcage, thumbs creasing on the sides of Ashe's lean abdomen to fall around on her loin. They went up to her shoulder blades tracing on her bra unclasping it, then Katarina dragged them down along her spinal column and at the same time she cocked her head to the side. A tongue invaded her mouth.
They met for the second time. Katarina decided that this is how an angel should taste like, if they ever existed. And they did, she is kissing and touching one.
The frost eyed felt the fingers on her hips slip under her loose pants? She didn't know when Katarina had unclasped her thin belt and unzipped the zipper. They stopped just before they could go lower. Ashe's own hands are tangled in red silky mass. Nails dug in the back of the green eyed neck that elected a breathtakingly groan from her throat.
The angel gave her all the approval she could wish for, so she took full of the fleshy buttocks in her hands. The nails in the back of her neck dug deeper and the angel released a muffled moan in her mouth.
Ashe wanted more, she sought more contact with this good kisser making her all hot and bothered. Fast they were, first it was Katarina's jacket then her black sleeveless top revealing the round shaped breasts covered in a black lase bra. The dynamic bended over abs, the right side is painted in a beautifully curved tattoo that went all the way down under her leather pants. She bit on her lips softly savouring in the athletic curves feeling the burnished amber skin she touched with her hands and Katarina smirked. A smirk that Ashe decided it is the way Katarina used as a smile, and wow how beautiful she used it. The red-haired drew closer hands on the shirt unbuttoning the obstacle in her way.
And she saw it. the blue shirt fell seductively from the angel's frame along with the already loose bra. Her mouth is open and she is in a trance, the alluring curvy with cottony feel skin connected to the creamy one. the angel purified her with the touch "Ashley….." and the frost eyed lifted her head to search for the voice inside the rainy forest . "I don't want this to be just physical" she confessed.
Wait what? Did she just confess to me? Wait, wait, wait I wanna hear her say it again "What do you mean?" she spoke the words creasing with her lips teasingly.
Katarina's own flattened as she looked down, thinking and Ashe waited. "I …like you" she admitted face reddened a lighter red than her hair, holy Avarosa that is sexy. Thought Ashe.
"I like you too" Perfect exotic natural eyebrows rose at the words and she smiled connecting their foreheads. Slowly the melted ice wetted her dry lips when they kissed again.
The lips moved from her chin placing neck kisses on every inch hands on her breasts moving on the same rhythm with her mouth. The responses escaped her mouth melodically. She moved lower tongue licked down on her chest stopping between her orbs. Mouth around a stiff nipple sucking and the tongue licked it, then switched her attention to the other. she stimulated them leading her further into her arousal.
Lower she went, fuck hurry. Her pants are on the ground and the red haired is on her knees. Katarina moved the underwear to the side and took in the heat. Ashe found Katarina's predatory eyes gazing on pink, slightly red flesh. Her breath heaved when she saw Katarina lick her lips slowly in desire. She bucked her hips, telling Katarina she can do whatever the hell she wanted.
Katarina ran her soft piece of flesh along the line, then it pressed on it and repeated the same motion over and over again. The delightful noises showed the ecstasy in her eyes and actions. She used fingers to spread the pink lips. Ashe felt the tongue drawing portraits around her entrance and she sung her approval to it.
"More" demanded the angel and Katarina complied. She withdrew and stood up lifted a leg to the side and her fingers found their way inside the rainy heaven. Ashe whimpered and the moans volume were roughly lowered by her lover's lips.
Katarina broke the kiss and found a shade of pink paint on the icy face, for fuck sake she is cute.
Ashe can't take it anymore "ah…ka...al…hmmm" and she forgot how her mouth is supposed to form words. The only things it is forming, are the responses to the assaults the invading fingers caused. They curved and pressed on all her right spots, even though this is their first time, Katarina made her body move in ways nobody could. Then it hit her, she shivered, rocked her hips on the fingers even deeper. She is at a bless. Katarina brought an end to her orgasm with fast swift pumps.
Katarina backed away slightly "Are you alright?"
"Give me a minute" using her hands to help her stay standing on her watery legs. Her eyes went higher taking in the figure in front of her. She reached with her arm and grabbed the woman by her belt bringing her closer "My turn."
Katarina laughed "I'm all yours princess."
#
Openings, there are openings everywhere. Vayne ducked, stepped back and observed her opponent. The way he jumped in his place, the way he swung his left arm. There was this slow movement in them when he wanted to land a punch, she could see them before he even started his swing.
"If this is your way to tell me you have feeling for me, I can't wait when we get to the showers."
Then there it was, she spun around and at the same time she grabbed his wrist moving until she was behind him, back to back while holding his wrist. He groaned in pain and tried to turn around to free himself, but a hand from behind him took is full of his tank second he is in the ear his back found their way on the ground and he cried out.
The people around them clapped, laughed hard at him, whistled and someone said 'you deserved that'.
Caitlyn entered the training room to find Tobias on the ground rolling in pain and the one delivered to him is flexing her muscles.
"My turn." Called Amelia walking towards the really pissed off for no reason woman.
Caitlyn walked to where Lucian Ashe and Alison are sitting, she greeted them and leaned against the wall. Tobias made his way to where they were sitting "What is wrong with her" said pointing at the agent who is about to fight another person.
The sparring match started, neither of the women refusing to attack. They circled around switching between stances and waiting for an opening. The new agent is a professional when it comes to hand to hand combat, but the one she is facing is even better.
She stared at Quinn, perfect stance, patient, sharp eyes and graceful. She moved peacefully, well aware of her opponents ability. Vayne's Aikido is something Caitlyn enjoys watching.
So Vayne dashed forward going for her wrist, Quinn saw though it and immediately almost at an impossible reaction time moved herself from the hand and was behind Vayne and they were back to back. She prepped herself and sent a foot to Vayne's right calf. But the woman lowered herself to swipe a left leg to tackle Quinn's.
She jumped and landed on two hands then again on her feet. The people were cheering for them and Caitlyn smiled. The thing that amused her is that they didn't touch one another in that whole encounter. Then it clicked, Jeet Kune Do. Wow, thought Caitlyn. Now this is a person worth watching fight.
"Nice one." Said Vayne smiling.
"Thanks."
"HI, Soraka." Called Ashe when she saw a stunned woman standing just in the door way. It was definitely on purpose.
It made Amelia turn immediately to see if her goddess just landed on earth, but that is why Ashe called. Without a warning Vayne's right hand found its way on the left side of her neck pulling her towards the assaulting woman. She made a mistake when she used her left hand to stop the pulling, because Vayne's grabbed her wrist.
Amelia is in the air then her back is on the ground and she tried her best to muffle the groan that was on its way out of her mouth.
"Never let your guard down." Said Vayne with a smirk.
"Get off of me." Demanded Amelia with an unimpressive face.
"My turn." Called Alison as she high-fived Quinn when she made her way to the group to sit down pouting.
"Thank you." She said to Ashe who winked at her before Soraka could make her way to them.
"Hey Cait." Greeted Soraka with a warm smile, "The report you asked for." handing over a file signed by the head of forensics herself.
Caitlyn took the file form the woman as she heard Ashe, Lucian and Amelia admire audibly. Their eyes were on the fight that just started. Alison is against the restless Vayne. Her eyes shot wide at what she saw, there is her best agent unable to make the woman fighting her flinch.
Alison didn't dodge one single hit. She can't they are too fast, But that was not it, the woman took all of it. Vayne is hitting a brick wall. Alison blocked and reflected all the attacks thrown at her. Her body acted as one unite, a weapon. Arms were acting like a sword and a dagger and if one elbow connected to Vayne's body, it would hit her like a hammer. Even though she was in a boxer stance her body moved differently, Muay Thai. It is mixed and Caitlyn never seen someone move the way Alison did.
"Wow, she is good." Admired Lucian.
"Kick her ass." called Ashe encouraging her partner.
A moment passed, then Alison jumped aiming both her fists on Vayne's chest. The woman reacted flawlessly, ducking just under the arms and pushed herself up again. Vayne's back connected with Alison's exposed stomach and her hands gripped on the shirt until Alison hit the floor on her left side.
"Oh Comon, this was my favourite." Cried Alison at her ripped shirt exposing a well-toned back.
"Who wears a loose shirt when sparring?" asked Vayne and claiming her third victory today. "Who taught you how to fight?" she offered a hand to help the woman up.
"Says the one that just broke my unbearable attack." Said Alison avoiding the answer.
They walked to the small group and Vayne greeted Soraka as she introduced her to Alison.
Caitlyn told them all they will be meeting at Viktor's tonight to welcome the new audition to the team and a small celebration to the closed case.
"Where is it?" asked Amelia and Caitlyn could see Alison asking the same question.
"I will pick you up" offered Ashe looking at Quinn "Your house is not far from mine right?" and Quinn nodded.
"You," pointing towards Alison "Live near the boss's and Shauna's, so one of them has to pick you up."
"I can't" said Vayne shacking her head to the sides "Lux and I have problems… Crownguard stuff." Explained heading out of the small gym room.
"Well sheriff, it's all up to you."
(NOTE): Omg i wrote then rewrote this chapter so many times. I hope i did them some justice there, it is not the last time come on i just got started. If you think that the last part is long, well it's Caitlyn's POV and she really looks at everything. Next chapter should be up soon.
Thank you for reading and as always leave a review to share your thoughts about the chapter.
P.S. these two songs inspired the Ashe and Katarina (don't fight it by Melano and LUV by Tory Lanez)
