A/N: Ok here's chapter 10. I'm running out of things to say in my author's note so this one will be short (famous last words I know).

Thank you to all my reviewers! I'm going to continue to update as fast as I can, but classes start again next Thursday so my update rate will probably be slower :) But until then I will continue to update quickly :)

This one is for last chapters lone reviewer pkmoise.

Enjoy!

Mick walked slowly into his apartment building. He sighed as he pressed the button for the elevator and waited for it to arrive. He didn't know how he was going to tell Natalie that one of her staff had been found, and that she had been murdered. He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for his floor. He leaned against the wall, trying to think of an easy way to tell her, but there were none. It was never easy to tell someone they had lost a friend.

He stepped out of the elevator and walked along the hall to his apartment. He stopped to listen. Inside he could hear voices; female voices. He typed his code into the key pad and entered his key into the lock.

Inside he found Natalie sitting on the couch talking to Beth. Both women turned to look at him as he entered.

"Hi," Beth smiled.

"Hi," Mick replied as he took off his coat and hung it on the hook. Natalie smiled at him, but didn't say anything. Her smile soon faded when she saw his eyes.

"Mick, what is it?" She asked. She stood up and went over to him and placed a hand on his arm, trying to comfort him. He looked at her and shook his head sadly.

"They….they found one of your staff, Jacqueline Hertford. I'm sorry, she's dead," he watched as her eyes filled with tears. She took her hand off his arm and put it over her mouth to stop the sob that threatened to escape.

"No, it can't be, it must be someone else," she cried. Jacqueline was like the sister she never had, she meant the world to her. She didn't want to believe that she was dead, but deep down she knew it was true.

"I'm sorry, I really am," Mick didn't know what to say. He placed his hand on her back and lightly patted it. Beth came over and wrapped her arms around Natalie, pulling her into a comforting hug. Natalie cried into her shoulder for a minute then pulled away. She wiped her eyes with her hand then turned to Mick who was standing in the kitchen staring at the sink.

"I want to see her," she announced. Mick looked up at her; shocked. Natalie sniffed and pulled a tissue out of her pocket. She wiped her eyes again then her nose.

"I don't think that's a good idea," he had to convince her otherwise; he knew it would really hurt her to see the condition Jacqueline was in.

"No, I need to see her," she persisted. Mick saw the pleading in her eyes and he gave in.

"Ok, I'll take you to see her," he mumbled.

"Thank you," she replied sadly. She went to the spare room and grabbed a coat out of her suitcase; she hadn't taken anything out yet, she wasn't sure how long she'd have to stay. When she walked into the living room she saw the look of sympathy and sadness on Beth's face.

"You can come too if you want," she said to Beth.

"If you want me to I will," Beth answered. Natalie thought for a moment then nodded.

"Ok, we better get going," Mick said. He pulled out his phone and called Guillermo to tell him they were coming. Beth took Natalie's arm and they left the apartment headed for Mick's car.

It only took fifteen minutes for them to reach the morgue. Natalie paused as everyone else climbed out of the car.

"Are you sure you still want to do this?" Mick asked softly. Natalie looked at him then nodded.

"Yes, I need to know that it's her," she replied. She climbed out of the car and locked the door.
