A/N: Thanks to Peleinferno, TinaBaby, and watched 2 much tv for your reviews! You guys rock!!

Costa ran up to Karena as the crowd began to disperse.

"How is he?" she asked her voice still strained. She was wiping away the remnants of the tears on her cheeks.

"Not in the best shape of his life..." Karena's breath caught in her chest. "But he's going to be alright." She exhaled slowly. "Are you coming to the Luxor? He probably would like to see you." She looked back towards Brandon. She knew he didn't like her spending a lot of time with Criss, but much to Karena's surprise he gave her a small smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, let's go Costa." She turned around as they were walking towards the hotel and mouthed thank you to Brandon and Jade. As Costa opened the door to the hotel suite Karena saw J.D. and Johnny sitting on the couch, they both stood up.

"How is he?" Costa asked taking the words out of Karena's mouth.

"He's really sore. The doctors checked him out and they asked him just to come in for some tests but he refused." J.D. said shaking his head. "He wanted to walk to see you." He said looking at Karena.

"Why?" She asked, almost like a deer in the headlights.

"Something about owing him a kiss." Johnny said giving a laugh.

"He's in his room if you want to see him." Karena nodded and made her way over to the door and knocked.

"Come on guys I'm fine!" Came Criss' voice. "You act like I'm dying or something. You don't have to baby me!"

"Alright I'll just give my kiss to someone else then." Karena said with a smile. She opened the door quickly and saw Criss trying to sit up. "Lay your ass back down."

"I'm fine..." he said but it was strained. However, he did what he was told and laid back down on his bed. Karena shut the door behind her.

"That was amazing sweetie." She said sitting down beside him. "But I am glad it's over." He smiled at her. She touched his face softly and brushed his hair away from his eyes, slightly touching his forehead when something caught her attention. She placed her hand firmly on his forehead. "Criss you have a fever. Maybe we should call the doctor."

"No, I'm fine."

"You're too damn proud is what you are." She said slightly annoyed. She got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" He asked holding on to her hand.

"I am getting you a cold wash cloth, some tylenol, and a glass of water." She walked out of the bed room. Costa and J.D. were watching tv. "Guys Criss has a fever."

"Maybe we should call the doctor back." J.D. said hitting the mute button on his remote.

"Good luck with that, he won't let you. You know Criss." Costa said softly.

"Why don't you just call the doctor and ask what he thinks, don't have him come back here, just ask him what we can do." J.D. nodded and picked up the phone as Karena rummaged through the suite. Finally when she was walking back towards the door J.D. got off the phone. Karena paused and waited to hear what he said.

"The doctor said that he just needs rest and liquids and he'll be fine." J.D. said with a sigh of relief. Karena smiled and opened the door to Criss' room. He was half asleep but smiled as she came in.

"Hey there." He said slowly sitting up. "J.D. called the doctor didn't he?"

"I hate it when you do that." She said handing him the Tylenol, which he took without question.

"I told you I was fine." Karena smirked at him. He softly touch the side of her cheek. "What's this?" He asked. Karena looked at him, confused. "You were crying."

"My mascara ran, didn't it?" He nodded. She put her hand to her face trying to wipe the black streak off her face. He softly pulled her face close to his. The kiss was soft and perfect, it wasn't the fierce type of kiss from before, but a loving kiss.

"I love you Karena." He said pulling away slightly. Their eyes connected and she could believe how brown and incredible his were.

"I love you too." It was out of her mouth before she said it, and she quickly stood up.

"What's wrong?" He asked staring at her. This wasn't a reaction he had expected.

"That's impossible. You don't fall in love after a little more than a week, it just doesn't happen." Karena looked towards Criss who was staring at her.

"Do you love me?" He asked softly.

"Criss it's imposs..."

"Do you love me?" He asked more sternly. She sat down next to him and a tear fell from her eye.

"Yes..."she said softly. He pulled her towards him until she was lying in his arms.

"Then there is no need to cry." He kissed the top of her head. "I use to think it was impossible too." They both fell asleep for a few hours. Karena awoke to the sound of her phone ringing in her pocket. Criss shifted and fell back asleep quickly as she answered the phone.

"Hello?" Karena's voice was hoarse and she wasn't awake yet.

"Kara, we need you to come back to the hotel right now." The tone of Jade's voice let her know something was wrong.

"What's going on?" Karena asked seriously.

"They have some news on... what happened to you."

"I'll be right there." She hung up the phone and took a deep breath. She didn't want to worry Criss so she knew she had to be in complete control of her emotions to fool the famous Criss Angel. She walked to the right side of the bed and kissed him softly. He opened his eyes slowly and smiled at her. "Baby I have to go to the Aladdin for a while?"

"Why, is anything wrong?"

"I think Brandon and Jade miss me." Karena smiled. "Feeling any better."

"Yeah a lot actually." He sat up and kissed her passionately.

"I'll be back later." The walk to the Aladdin was painful. She quickened her pace and her heart seemed to want to beat out of her chest. What had they found out? She wondered to herself. She put her key in the door to the hotel room and turned the knob. Jade was sitting on the couch beside Brandon, and a man Karena didn't recognize was sitting in a chair. He had dark eyes, but blonde hair. He was wearing a suit, which seemed to warm for Las Vegas.

"Miss Becker?" The man said standing up.

"Yes?" Karena asked walking over and shaking his hand.

"I am Detective Reese." He said shaking her hand in return. "I am here to talk to you about your rape." Karena squirmed.

"You came all the way out here? It must be important."

"We caught the guy who did it." Karena felt tears well up in her eyes and she knew she needed to sit down. Brandon led her to the couch and she put her head in between her hands.

"Who.. Who was it?" She asked looking up at the detective. He flipped open a small notepad.

"A man named Kyle MacGregor. Do you know him?" She thought for a moment.

"Yeah, I went to school with him." She shuttered.

"How do you know it was him?" Brandon asked.

"DNA match from the rape kit." He said sounding very matter-of-factly. Karena took a deep breath in. They caught him. "But there is something more." She shot her head upwards, a look of horror on her face.

"How can their be more? You caught the guy!"

"He is claiming he was paid to do it. Someone set everything up." Karena began cracking her knuckles.

"Has he said who?" She asked.

"Yes." He didn't even bother opening his notepad. "A Miss Lynne Williams." The blood drained from Karena's face so quickly that they all thought she might faint.

"That's impossible."

"I'm sorry ma'am it's what this man has said."

"Lynne wouldn't do that to me, she... she just wouldn't." She began to get angry. "What proof do you have?"

"She left a message on his phone. We found it to be rather disturbing. She tells him that everything's a go, and that you would probably be in the Library..."

"Is that all she said?" Karena asked staring at him. She knew the answer, there was something more. She could see it in his eyes.

"No ma'am, but I do not think now is the time or place..." Karena stood up cutting him off and began walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Jade said following her.

"Please..." Karena said tears threatening. "I just need some time on my own." They didn't follow her. She walked outside onto the bust street of Vegas. It was coming up on 5 o'clock and people were heading to dinner. She was lost in her own thoughts. How could her friend have done this to her? She had known Lynne for years, and they had been through so much. Karena had been walking for about 40 minutes when she looked up and found herself in front of the Luxor.

" Karena?" The voice didn't seem to register. " Karena." She felt a hand on her shoulder and she was jolted back into reality. Arthur was standing in front of her. " Karena are you alright? Brandon called me. He told me what happened." She broke into tears and pulled Arthur into a hug. "Come on, I'll take you up to Criss." They reached the door to the suite and Karena wiped her face.

"Hey guys." Costa said walking up behind them.

"Hey man." Arthur responded but Karena remained silent.

" Karena, sweetie, what's wrong?" He asked suddenly very concerned.

"I need to talk to Criss." Costa grabbed his key and put it into the door allowing Karena to open it, although she wished she hadn't. Criss was standing in front of the couch, along with a tall blonde. They were kissing fiercely. She just stood for a moment.

"Criss!" Costa's voice screamed from somewhere, but Karena kept her eyes fixed on Criss. He pushed the girl away from him and looked directly at her. She turned and ran out of the room.
