Thieves Without Honor
Lovely Day Turned Sour
Horatio brought out his cell phone to call Julia. "Julia," He greeted unaware that Julia was on speaker phone with Ron in the driver's side of the car.
"Hello Horatio," Ron put a finger to his lips signaling Julia to not mention he was here.
"Ron Saris is about to go down for the murder of Cathleen Newberry... bring him in, please." Ron narrowed his eyes.
"I can't do that Horatio."
"He's going to take you down too, sweet-" Ron cut off the phone call.
"You know," He spoke, "Julia I'm sick of this. We've been doing this your way, up until now, now we're going to do it my way," He pulled out the gun he had stashed in his white suit, "He's dead, dead, dead."
"Wait," Julia interrupted him, "You-you can't just kill a cop, you can't, ow-" He roughly grabbed her arm and shook her while cringed into herself.
"Why are you protecting him? Why?"
"C'mon Ron," She tried to plead with him.
"You still love him don't you?"
"Ron-"
"Look at me, tell me you still love him, don't you," He accused her shaking her.
"Ron-"
"Yeah, that's what it is,"
"I can make him disappear," She promised, but he just pulled her against him tightly, "C'mon, Ron." He hesitated. "I just need to make one call," She promised him.
"Yeah,"
"I only want to be with you,"
"Yeah well, it's a little long list to be with you." But he finally relented and let her go.
Julia quickly flipped open her phone, "I need to speak with who's in charge,"

An officer guided a blonde woman with brown and blue eyes wearing an expensive black dress into an interrogation room, with Lieutenant Horatio inside. They both stared at one another for a few moments before Horatio spoke.
"Where's Ron, Julia?"
"I asked you to let this go, Horatio."
"You are protecting a murder. What does he have on you?"
"This has nothing to do with him." She immediately got on the defensive side.
"Julia, I want to help you, but this is going to be my last chance." He looked up at her with his bright blue eyes begging her to take the offer.
"I don't need your help." She insisted, "Besides, it's too late."
"What-" He was interrupted when he saw Internal Affairs Bureau's officer, Rick Stetler knocking on the glass.
"I'm sorry Horatio," She breathed, "You may not understand this now, but it's for your own good."
He gave her one last look before making his way out of the room towards Rick.
"Rick,"
"US Marshal's office has just notified us that judge has just granted a warrant for your arrest."
"Granted to who?"
"Brazilian federal police." Rick took a deep breath, "They're in route to take you into custody, you're being extradited to Brazil this afternoon. They're charging you with murder, Horatio."
Horatio looked away from Rick and turned his gaze towards Julia, who was too guilt-stricken to hold his gaze.
After, once Horatio was outside and had given up his badge and gun, he was escorted to a black SUV where he was extracted to Brazil to face murder charges. Well, shit.

It was such a lovely day. The sun was out shining on the people as they walked passed each other, each having a different destination in mind. Some kids were playing games while their parents went through the outside market looking for fresh vegetables to feed to their families. If she didn't know any better she would say the scene looked to be out of a movie.
Jane sighed as she took her time walking along the sidewalk. Life was just... perfect. She and Luna had moved in with Julia and Kyle, their business was running smoothly so far, and she and Luna had more time to be together. This was probably the happiest she had been in her life, except for the day Luna took her away from her dreaded mother.
Luna was still coming to terms about having a mother in her life. She had spent so much time convincing herself she didn't need parents, but Jane could see the longing in her eyes even if she didn't admit to it out loud.
Luna still hadn't had any contact with Horatio either. She suspected it was because Luna was trying to give him some space after the whole fiasco with them trying to frame him thing.
Just as Jane turned the corner she felt something connect with the back of her head. Her unconscious body fell to the floor with a thunk!
She groaned when she awoke. Her head was pounding so bad she thought it would explode. She blearily blinked her eyes, adjusting to the light. She tried moving her hands, but they were bound behind her back, as were her legs were bound to the metal chair.
Where the hell was she? Where was Luna? What happened to her? She heard a door open to her right. She watched, utterly terrified, as her captor approached her.
"Hello Jane Doe," Wait, that voice sounded oddly familiar. She looked up at him. He looked to be around his early twenties, with blonde hair and gray eyes. He glared down at her, like she was a little pathetic ant waiting to be squashed by a boot.
"Who are you?" Her voice shook as she tried holding in the tears.
"You don't remember me?" He began circling her, like a shark with their prey, "I should be offended." He sneered.
Jane Doe's eyes widened once she figured out who he was. Oh, shit.
"What do you want?" She squeaked out.
"I want the Luna to pay for what she did, and I know exactly how to do it." He purred, running one of his fingers down Jane Doe's cheek, laughing at her as she cringed away. "Are you afraid." She just whimpered. "Good."
Luna, please help me.

Luna leaned back in her chair, rubbing her hands across her face. Their business was slowly starting to collapse. A lot of contracts had already bailed out since Derek's wraith, it was a miracle they were still afloat, and she hadn't told Jane either. She just didn't have the heart to take away her moments of peace.
She had found out from the news that some rich brat named Derek Rochet was arrested for trying to set the Lt. up for murder. She just sighed when she saw the blonde haired man behind cuffed and led into a police car. Such a pity. And she heard about how Julia had Horatio sent off to Brazil to face murder charges. Sigh.
She winced, reaching up to rub her heart, it hadn't stopped aching since Jane had left to take some time for herself.
She glanced at the clock, Jane had been out for hours now. Luna stood up and was just about to leave to search for her, when the woman of question walked through the front door.
"Jane," She greeted approaching her, "You've out for a while, I was just about to go looking for you." She whispered leaning forward to kiss her, but Doe dodged last moment and she ended up kissing her cheek instead.
She pulled back in confusion. She took a proper look at her. Jane looked as if she had been crying, and their was this permanent look of terror in her eyes. What the hell happened?
"Tesoro? Are you okay? Did something happen to you? Just tell me who hurt you and I'll find them." Doe shook her head willing Luna to just drop it. She had never lied to Luna before.
"I'm fine, it's just that with the move and your biological parents showing up as well as the tension between you and Horatio I just needed time to myself." She looked into Luna's eyes and lied straight to her face. She willed this sick feeling in her stomach to go away, before Luna could notice it.
"Okay. Do you need me to get something for you?" Her eyes were narrowed in slight suspicion. She could tell something was off.
"No, it's fine, I just have a headache." Doe quickly made her way out of her embrace and quickly making her way to their room, with Luna looking up in concern.
What happened to her?
Luna opened her eyes to the blinding light. She groaned rolling over, burying her face in the pillows. She blindly reached out for Doe only to come up empty handed. She raised her head. She was alone. That was not like Jane Doe. They always woke up together, it was an unspoken tradition. What the hell is going through that head of hers?
She made her way downstairs, maybe she was just getting something to eat? Luna peered into the kitchen spotting her mom, but no luck when it came to her lover.
"Have you seen Jane?" She asked.
Julia turned around to face her newly found daughter. "Yes, she said she had something she needed to do and to tell you she'd be gone for a few hours."
Luna nodded, something in her gut was telling her a different story. She'd just have to wait and give Jane Doe her space, she'd probably tell me when she's ready... right? She still has to deal with the fact that her mother sent her father away for murder. Everything seemed to be falling apart and Luna was struggling to pick up the pieces.
Where did Jane go anyway?
A/N: So, Horatio's been extract to Brazil to face murder charges and Jane had been kidnapped. Can anyone tell what's going on? I hope not, it makes for a better surprise later.
Thank you for the reviews my lovely's!
