Reynolds growled back as he sat down at the coffee table he shared with Lucheman who remained silent during that walking matter. He settled out the two large coffee cups on the table.

"One step ahead and your cover would have been blown off, Barnes.."

"I'm sorry sir, my curiosity had gotten the best of me.."Lucheman whose real last name was Barnes had sighed as he took his coffee with a firm smile."It's just that I walked around here doing my own thing for the guy, until I crossed paths with the crime scene. Where NYPD is working along with that female cop who just came back from the dead..A certain Cat Chandler, who used to be Homeland Security's most wanted fugitive on their list-"

"Not so loud. There's people here, Barnes.."Reynolds had rushed back towards the man who was in fact in undercover work were a lot of people walking in and out of the coffee bar and the news that a certain detective that had gone back from the dead was still fresh to the media, including shook him awake."She's no more of a problem to them now.."

"What makes you say that?"

"I'm just saying that DHS should have done their own job by then and none of this matter should have even happened. All that mess with the ex-A.D.A Lowan. And you wouldn't even be here doing this job, instead of Keller..Today.."Barnes leaned his back to the chair with a frown as he stared back to his surpervisor.

"And now all of them are under invastigation now, for letting a real serial killer getting away with murder. Killing an female cop and left Chandler's new partner down onto the streets and near dead.."Barnes had took a sip from his coffee."But did you even volunteered up to it?"

"I'm sorry?"Reynolds blinked in misunderstanding as if he didn't catched Barnes's answer, at all.

"The case. I mean. You had never meet Keller or even had any interest into his case or into Cat Chandler's drama social life, until a few months after I took the job. So, why?"

"I don't know. I guess, it must be from past mistakes.."It was quite the truth, however not much of it when a certain Thomas Chandler whom just a few minutes before he got pushed away by a car, had texted him that his own daughter Cat Chandler could be his.

"About Chandler? That troubled girl, the same one who once tried to flee away with Lowan once?"

"She did tried to have him protected. Despite having a dark past, Lowan was innocent and so was Chandler.."

"Even if she did killed an DHS Agent-"

"It was self-defense, Barnes and you know it. She had no other choice. It was either letting Hill kill an innocent man and end up blood onto his hands for the rest of his life or doing the other way.."Reynolds had tried to resolve him."Sometimes, you don't have much choice.."But Barnes wasn't buying it.

"Which is to have an hauntening file for life behind her back. Bipolar disorder or drinking disorder, Cat Chandler would to deal with it as long as she lives.."

'Which I would have to look for it..If I have to keep her safe..'The silver haired man swore to himself ever since he decided to step in back into town. Reynolds had been aware of the entire situation with Catherine Chandler starting as an Agent and as it was a way to be able to protect the late Gabriel Lowan from any threats. And to see how far she had grown upinto a fine and beautiful woman and he wasn't wrong to that part.

It all started by an very cold and this past November where everything had all occured up onto his face, once. He remembered after giving blood for those who needed the most as he always had done much like every once a year, Reynolds remembered crossing close to the ICU section, from where he couldn't helped himself but to take a peek through these invisible and glass doors, by pure curiosity. For a instant, he believed his own heart had skipped up a beat. Sitting close to an very uncounscious, sedated and heavily bandaged Vincent Keller who was into a coma with all these hooking machines and wires, IV and breathing tubes, after his undercover job had gone wrong, there was the woman he always had dreamed to find after a very longtime.

Catherine Chandler.

He remembered her this incridible woman who had come up everyday into this room where Keller had been under the famous John Doe name for protection, in case, if the butcher guy would come up again to show up his face and to eliminate the man who laid onto this bed, completely unmoving, expept his own slowling and moving chest. And Chandler was signed to protect him in every way she could, as an first job. An enjoying woman with a comforting smile who read stories to him everyday. Loved to share her love of her stories to an stranger, even if it sounded and looked weird for a couple and normal persons. She always had come up with a book or with her IPad with a smile on her face. She would always take off her coat as she avoided wearing the normal clothing nature of an true agent, by wearing a simple sweatshirt and her tight black pants with her comfortable winter boats and would sit down next to Keller as she would start to read or more like following up her story. Didn't mattered if she seemed tired or not,Cat hadn't given up on him, not even in one second thought and not even when she was caught up into Hill's awful mistake that had changed her life for good.

It was hard, but she somehow had the strength to kept on going by giving enough courage to those who needed the most, like Lowan and Keller. The two of them needed her support and it wasn't by crying or whining that would help them out of it.

Lisa Jackson, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Lisa Gardner, Nalini Singh, Christine Feehan, Sandra Brown, Camilla Lackberg and Gena Showalter and many others that Reynolds couldn't count of how many authors and stories Cat had tried to hide herself, her emotions, her fears and demons through them all. She always came back, bravely.

She looked so much like her mother. Vanessa. So fierce and strong. The one who would never put a stop to its face. No matter what. From what Robert remembered as he let himself fall into his memories.

She had Vanessa's strength, despite the danger she was pulling herself into it. Scared or not. She had no slice of any bad and dangerous behavior through her genes. Didn't mattered if that evil mother of Vanessa, Margaret Wu had predicted to happen. Oh Gosh, he really had despised that woman from the first sight he had seen her when she spotted them from afar, from many years ago when Vanessa was a young and simple doctor and him, an young and rookie FBI Agent. It was supposed to be a simple start of an real relationship, until he had heard that Vanessa was dating someone else back then. Thomas Chandler, the lawyer and the kind of man would make a nice husband and doting father someday.

She and Reynolds decided to keep their relationship in a secret. So whenever they would go and work together, they would actually go out and hiding away as they kissed and hugged and made love, a couple few times, until one night when a very severe stricfull and in dark clothes Margaret had come downstairs, instead of Vanessa to open up the door where he stood up there waiting at the door like a blond haired teenager with a blue suit. Damn, he would never forget the way her brown eyes looked back up to him, like evil was a simple and natural way to express her features.

"Whatever this fling is going on between you and my daughter, you better end it and right now.."She said back after she eyed him with hard eyes up and down. Margaret folded her arms against her chest as he did tried to explain.

"Look, ma'am. Whatever my feelings are for your daughter aren't none of your bussiness. Please I do need to see Vanessa-"

"You would not see her ever again!"

"Ms Wu-"

"Do not interrupt me, when I speak! I'm telling you this and only for the last time.."He could even swore that her long black hair had slowly lifted up from her shoulders, like it would usually do for witches who were involved into witchcraft, which had creeped him out."Whatever fling you have with my daughter, you better end it right now..She has a fiance to marry and wouldn't certainly not be you. Robert..Ever.."He waited for more coming from this delusional woman, like she had known better than him. He tried to stay onto his guard.

"Or else what?"

"I would have to kill you by my very own hands and without any mercy.."Margaret was losing her mind, even if she stood up serious with her dark and wild eyes staring back him as they would aim and shoot him.

"You know that you can't get away from murder. One day or another, the authorities would find you burying these innocents.."Working with Bureau made him look tough, however he knew he had a lot to learn still.

"Just like you have done by letting yourself fall into the dirty bussiness. You think, I'd let Vanessa fall into your trap of love?"Speaking of learning, he did found out that Margaret had a way to become crazy here as if she could read people's mind. Just like his own as he looked stunned at this revealation.

"I have no idea of whatever the hell you're talking about.."Did Vanessa told her mother about this secret that he was somehow involved along with the government.

"Watch your mouth, here."Margaret had warned him as she raised an warning finger towards him."I had a dream about the two of you and it isn't any good as you can imagine. If the two of you keep onto seeing each other, bad things are gonna happen.."Like visions could come up true now? That was completely nonsense.

"Like what?"

"Sin. The Biggest Sin would slowly come up again into this house. Vanessa's house would possessed by bad human's kind and that would lead into destruction..All that because of you."He stared up at her like she was losing up her mind.

"You're losing up your mind.."But this woman looked like she had known more than him as she put the palm of her hand to the door as if she was ready to shut the door. However she did warned him about something important. Something he would never be able to forget anytime soon as her threatening voice tone gave him chills.

"If you really are in love with my daughter, do not ever come over or be near her all over again..And to let you know this, my dreams had always found their way to come up true..Any female of the Wu family that desobeys and sins are always gonna be cursed for the rest of theirs lives, by the very end.."Margaret had concluded before she slamed the door to his face. He couldn't get any other chances to see Vanessa ever since that day with Margaret warning him off. As days went on into weeks had passed, Vanessa didn't wanted to see him, until that day back at that coffee bar, where the two of them had to see each other, for a very last time. The very same one like it was today.

"I think it's better if we break things off, Robert.."Still into her blue scrubs from the hospital, Vanessa looked pale, tired and exhausted from what he had seen. Gone was the vibrant one he once had meet as she sat into her chair with a green mug of tea in front of her on the table while he hadn't touched his strong coffee mug when he just sat there, completely strucked.

"For you or for me?"Why did she wanted to break things of with him? Did Thomas had found out about the affair. She looked away from him as if she couldn't bare him looking at him with pity.

"Both of us, I said.."

"I don't understand, Vanessa-"

"I'm pregnant and it might be yours.."Sins never dies, do they? Expecially.

"You're pregnant?"With a nod she shrugged her shoulders as he added back."Well, it's something, we should celebrate. It's true, Vanessa, I'll help you out-"

"I have had nightmares lately. About this baby, Robert and it's not good as its been messing me up with my work at the hospital.."

"What are you talking about?"Vanessa looked back at him with worry. Her eyes were red from exhaustion. Giving an hint, that not everything was alright about this pregnancy.

"I had nightmares and I don't think it can be resolved. I have a feeling that I might will have twins in the later future. Girls, I believe which my mother thinks it might be a bad sign. It might be a sign of a certain sin that she knows from the family.."Oh yeah. The Wu family do have a curse as crazy Margaret had said before. Any women from the Wu family that sins and desobeys may carry an unforgettable sin for the rest of theirs lives.

"What about abortion?"Didn't mattered if she was two or six weeks, she was barely showing up. However Vanessa shook her head as the situation was more tough than that. Reynolds waited for her to tell the whole story and what he heard was quite shocking. His eyes widened in shock as her voice broke. She ran her fingers through her long dark hair, looking almost defeated.

"I can't do it. I did tried to get one. I had an appointement with a doctor, but once I came into the room, I felt a strong kick from my stomach and that pushed me away from the room."She looked up at him with frightened eyes."I cannot take them away, Robert. One of them is awful and threatened me that if I ever tried to get rid of them, they would go and try to kill me in my sleep.."They? They were barely alive and forming up yet. Since when fetus had their own voices tormenting their carrier's mind? What about him? What about the father in all this? Did he had a opinion to this?

"This is nonsense, Vanessa. It's your mother who gave these ideas. I'm telling that woman is a complete freak.."But Vanessa looked convinced that her mother wasn't crazy as she shook her head leaving him dumbstruck. Vanessa wasn't only a doctor, but a scientist who doesn't the belief or the time to believe into stupid fairytales about the aftermath of an affair, not even the existence of any stupid living God, until now.

"Freak or not. She is telling the once in her life she had made a mistake about her wicked visions."She brought up her sleeves up to her elbows to reveal the purple spots on her forearms. Robert looked horrified."This is why we both need to stop seeing each other. For the baby. Babies, I mean.."Oh God. Twins that can't get to be taken away, because of a single affair threatened to hurt their mother, even if they still weren't born yet. They had a testement to make their way out to their carrier.

"What about Thomas? Does he knows about.."The other guy needed to know about the thing. The consecquences of their affair. Vanessa tried to calm down at this a breath and again and again.

"Not yet, but I'm gonna have to tell him one day or the other. And to tell him about the curse that my family carries on..My older sister Claire had her own dilemmas with her miscarriages and Lillian, I don't know if she can get pregnant with her periods that are not always straight.."

"Vanessa, you can't do this. You can't let them control you. You're a doctor. You're supposed to know better.."He leaned down to reach up one of her hands. Giving her some hope to not give up and fight. To not let the invisible twins taking ahold of Vanessa pushed him back as she leaned her back to her chair as she faced his pleading blue eyes.

"I know that. Trust me. I tried to do anything what I could,. To save us, Robert but I can't get away with it. And it would only get worse if we stay together. I guess that the sins that we both carry on our own selves, would find a way to punish us, someday.."She looked back up at him with a sad smile. "But don't worry, I got this on my own way. You don't have to be worried about me..Go on and live your life, Robert. I'll take care of everything."How could he even have the courage to move on, after receiving so such and horrifying news, like them? He heard rumors saying that Vanessa had brought up twins after nine months later through an very difficult c-section and that birth was sort of out from ordinary. The twins were both stuck up to one at another which made things hard for the doctors to get them out from their mother's was out while the other still locked inside of Vanessa'stomach. Which made him shiver into fear, by just to imagine the pain that she had to go through delivery and even with Thomas by her side.

Conjoined twins. Girls. And Catherine who appeared to be very bright, gentle and beautiful to him didn't looked like she had any chance to be evil. She looked very fierce and courageous when it came to the people she cared and loved about. It just wasn't possible. Reynolds had wanted to come back, at least when Catherine would have been eighteen, where he would be able to tell her eything under Vanessa's permission. However when Vanessa got killed, it was just complicated. Anyways, this was another story. It's about the other twin that worried him, the most. It scared him, even if everything turned out okay, after the delivery of the twins..

He wondered what happened with the other twin, since he only had seen Catherine around and not the other.

If everything looked just fine, then why the worry? Unless, Vanessa and Thomas had kept the good twin and got rid of the other. The bad one as the one who didn't wanted to be sacrificed or taken away, if Margaret had anything to do with it. Was it the price that Vanessa had to go through, because of their affair and the fact that she was engaged to someone else? That the children should suffer because of the adults's mistakes? After all Vanessa told him she couldn't get an abortion, because both of the babies had forbid her to do it or else her life would be threatened by them. The curse that she had to carry on.

What happened to the other pair? The other twin? Did 'It' died after it was born with Catherine? Or not?

Did it had anything to do with the two dead girls that the NYPD had found out, a few hours ago? Was it an act of revenge now that Vanessa and Thomas had both died and now that Cat had finally decided to come back, getting herself back into track after being gone for a very longtime. Would this matter affect Catherine, deeply? There were so many questions going through his mind, at the moment.

It's not that Reynolds believed in any of stupid curses coming from old generations, but the sins he had once made before in his life. He did believed that they were gonna catch him up one day, just like Margaret had told him. The Biggest Sin was about to come to his face and it used to be by hurting Vanessa's feelings and hurting Catherine's own as well, one day..

If he would ever has the guts to be able to tell her that she might be his daughter. A daughter who has to carry on onto her parents's own sins for the rest of her life.

"Sir?"Shaken, Reynolds looked back up from his memories as Barnes managed to bring him back to reality.

"Huh, excuse me, what were you saying?"

"When do you think that Ciccotelli and I are going to bring the butcher guy and his teamates?"Damn, he was so focused into his memories about Vanessa and the curse that Margaret had mentionned once that he almost forgot about the case that Barnes and his partner were both working on for months. Reynolds shook his head refusing Barnes to rush things quickly.

"Not now. I still think it's too soon.."Barnes just growled into frustration.

"It's almost been ten months, that we've been into undercover, already..One day, we'll have to bring them in..We have enough proof to bring them in.."'Oh, didn't you? Then, explain how your ass almost ended up by being discovered by the cops?' Reynolds had almost added up back. He gave the young man a hard stare.

"You might want to think it once again. Keller took the time he needed, but someone had blown up his cover, which cost a female cop's life and nearly finished for him as well too.."

"Keller was different, I can do things well better than he did-"

"Start to think more clearly, cause if you don't, it might end up bad for you, Barnes. The butcher guy is smart and is starting to think that someone is up to something against him. He believes that someone would bring him down, one day or another. So both of you and Ciccotelli need to be very careful."Reynolds warned him back unless if Barnes wished to ended up dead onto the streets like it had happened to Lafferty."Undercover work takes long as it should, but it's always better when you take your time than rushing things up too fast. You need that guy's confidence and once it's settled, you can take him down.."Hopefully, Barnes wouldn't end up like it had happened with Vincent Keller. The thought of an heavily and bandaged man lying onto his bed hooked up with wires everywhere to his body along with a beeping machine was enough for Reynolds to feel more bad than ever, including the fact that Keller didn't remembered what happened afterwards his cover being blown up.

However, the doctors, including an very nice red haired nurse told him and his partner FBI Agent Dana Landon that the beating and torture that Vincent Keller took was enough and that the scars imprinted onto his body would probably take way longer to fade. But Keller wasn't a quiter. He managed to re-learn and to re-start on walking and gaining his strenght back without whining or crying, despite the pain from what Reynolds had heard.

"I'm sorry, that I cannot help anymore than I should.."The man had said with a defeated and tired sigh when he was still glued up onto his bed as he looked away from them, as his knuckles turned up white like the sheets of his bed, feeling completely ashamed of himself. He couldn't remember either the blow or the beating up. Short amnesia term was part of the head trauma. No wonder he ended up into a coma, for three months. But who can blame him? Certainly not him as the silver haired man took a sip from his coffee as Barnes followed up.

"Right. I mean; look what happened with Keller.."Barnes had rolled up his eyes, completely annoyed as the man in front of him gave him a lecture as if he was a kid and not an FBI Agent going undercover.

"Things were a little unsteady for him to control all at once. He couldn't always keep an eye to Lafferty. The two of them had known that this job wasn't going to be easy. Keller had a good background by going undercover many times, but he's not immortal to it and you aren't either. You only have one life.."However, the dark haired man with the blue eyes felt like his surpervisor wasn't telling more than what he should as he scoffed back to his face which left Reynolds confused."What?"He didn't liked to be mocked at, especially when it came to one of his best agents as Barnes folded his arms against his chest, staring up at him looking very challenging.

"Since when you had become so wise, Agent Reynolds?"Since when? Since he had found out that he may have not only one, but two daughters that had resurfed back. One that faked her death and the other that wanted revenge and it was by making the good one suffer, unless he does something to stop it and fast.

"Since I've figured out that I have a daughter. The very same one who has comeback from the dead and that I intend to protect, one day.."And probably to save her.He swore back to himself. If he ever finds her back, he might be able to protect her from the bad one. If 'It' was still alive and guarding her from afar. The bad twin who was thirsting for revenge and wasn't ready to give up on anything, until it gets back to Cat.

His sins may have had found its way to haunt him back, just like Vanessa told him once a longtime ago. However, he wouldn't give up without a fight when it came to his love ones.

...

If Tess had gatthered them all in this room was for one thing. The meeting room as she called it. She wanted to know their reports. It was the only and new thing that she had brought up when she became captain here into this departement. Demanding to know where each cop was doing onto their cases, but today it was completely different. They all were working into one and only case. The snatched up conjoined twins.

Not that Cat had remembered that part, but was glad to know this matter now, in case she may want to switch places with someone else. Sitting down with all these people made her feel uneasy, especially when she had Keller sitting next to her right side and with Tori who was sitting in front of her with Frank on her left side. A strong dark haired man with a trimed black beard named Nathan Webster sat next to Frank on the left side and that left an dark auburn haired man, James Hunter, who looked annoyed as he managed to stay silent as he sat to the end of the table as he listened to the M.E. Evan who was standing up to the backboard where all the pictures, including the dead twins and the suspects were all tapped up as he explained the situation.

"So you can tell that before they were snatched up apart, the killer made them starve a couple days ago?"Tess recalled back as she sat back down to her chair at the end of the table and at Cat's left side.

"Pretty much so from what Professor J.T. Forbes had concluded from his report. Unfortunelly I wasn't there to assist and work onto the autopsy, so.."That brought up Cat's attention to the embarrassing and standing man to the front.

"Why? What happened?"

"Let's just say my dignity caught up bad for me.."

"How?"

"He puked out his liver out, today, that's what happened.."The man named J.T. Forbes had followed up by answering Catherine's question as she turned her head over the guy. He was sitting at Keller's right side and close to James's chair who snickered up through his nose as the team had started to chuckle up a bit, leaving up Cat perplexed. Knowing that Evan had actually puked out after being so good at his job for a very longtime, until today.

"Puked out?"Cat looked back up at Evan who just shrugged as if it was no deal to worry. He looked back at her, before he followed up to everyone with a defeating sigh.

"Yes, I know. Ever since I became a daddy, I became a little sensitive at work, but I'll get over it. Do not worry!"

"Ever thought about going into parternity leave, daddy-o?"Frank smirked back to the medical examiner who just gave him a disgusting, but bored look.

"Are you kidding? Other than changing diappers and baby food, I'll be bored to death.."

"That's good to hear, just don't expect me to do your job, everythime you feel like you wanna to puke out your insides.."J.T. sighed out like he'd been holding up his breath.

"You may take that back, because soon or later you and Tess might have to go through the same thing like him, one day..I mean, a tiny little-"

"Hey, I just gotten married a month ago!"J.T. protested back as he elbowled back at Keller who was snickering back the professor who was now frowning at the people who were laughing at his face. Leaving Cat, Tess and Evan who just shook their heads, irritated.

"Never mind my overies or so."added back Tess as she tried to change the subject going back to the that didn't stopped the laughter to go higher as she rolled up her eyes. "What's next in here. Webster and Hunter, what are your reports? Did you managed to find Brian Wang, June's husband father to the twins?"But still Webster was still laughing as he punched his stomach trying to regain his serious face as his captain had asked him again."Need some water, Webster?"Calm, but a warning tone as he waved back, declining her offer. Clearing up his throat, he tried to talk without smirking here. As much as the others tried to calm down here.

"Not much enough. We just couldn't find the guy back at his work place. Most of his colleagues had told us that he had taken a few days of vacation to Cuba.."

"A few days? Before Benvers had found the girls? Wang had left the city?"

"Quite like that.."James had spoken out for the first time as a thick accent mostly coming from Scotland was heard from him."The guy's marriage was on its way to fall over.."

"Probably because the unstable wife couldn't handle him around, so he took off, I guess.."muttured Tori from her corner.

"But now the bodies were found, he might need to come back and to talk here. Or else he'll be a suspect.."Evan added back.

"How about his co-workers, at the firm? What did they say about him?"The female captain waved back that question.

"A few told us, that Brian was an excellent worker. Always on time, been cooperative, nice and rough at times. Managed to hide his stress by going out to the gym close to the firm. A good profile. He never made any whining complain about home or his wife or kids. No family emergency, unless he had declared that factor, which he never did.."Nathan followed back.

"You guys are gonna have to reconnect with him once he comes back to the states.."

"Like we have much choice, here.."

"How about you, Chandler and Keller; how did it went with the nice cooperative aunt and the unstable wife?"Tess had went onto another subject of the case as Cat managed to find the right reply to answer back, but couldn't get any satisfying answer that wouldn't get herself into a laughing matter. Like getting herself kicked by an unstable woman.

"If you're asking about Chandler's ribs by now, I believe we had an interesting and so pleseant event and by going civilized thing, here.."Keller had added up as he leaned back to his chair with a frown as he looked down to the file lying down onto the table and right in front of him, trying to play innocent which he wasn't. Cat just rolled up her eyes, annoyed and tired but mostly because of the strong painkillers she took earlier as she and Keller drove away from the hospital, after getting herself checked by one of his exes. A quite sensitive red haired nurse, Alex Salter who was kind enough to help her out and for free.

And had talked a lot. Especially about her ex-fiance's changing behavior.

"Let's just say we had a good and fair event.."She touched the bridge of her nose to brace herself for an headache to come up with the humiliation that was about to come up.

"No wait, you got kicked by the evil and delusional cousin, here?"Frank looked interested as Cat tried to defend herself and on her own.

"I tried to go by nice here.."She waved her palms up as her partner had cut her off of the record as he grimaced back, fakely. He shook his head in denial.

"Which failed. We had to drop off to the hospital before we came back up here.."Tess blinked up in surprise at that point as her attention went back to her ex-partner and the very same woman who had never let herself getting beaten up without a fight, and after ten years into the law enforcement had never let someone beating her up. "You got kicked up, back up there?"However, Cat just stood silent to that comment.

"That's why you called for back-up?"Tori had asked as Keller just shrugged like it didn't mattered.

"What happened?"Tess ignored the red haired female cop's question while her attention was focused on her ex-partner who sighed in defeat.

"We came into June and Brian's house, only to find Lillian, my aunt who had let us walk into the house and then we chatted saying that the twins were found dead, this early morning.."

"Or more like picked up from the lake, this early morning.."Keller had corrected back as Cat went on with her report as she tried to ignore Keller's interruption of her own speech. Trying to look natural, despite wanting to kick this guy who was sitting next to her as he played up with his pen on the table.

"As I said here. We got into the house and we talked. Lillian told us that she had no idea about the abduction of the twins, until they had disappeared. She also told us that June had a quite good and weird behaviors going on ever since, she had been a teen.."

"Such as?"Evan had asked as he folded up his arms against his chest.

"Bipolar disorder.."

"Let's just say; madness disorder runs into the family.."Keller had yawned at this answer and stretched his shoulders back, which Cat followed. Be patient, as she reminded herself.

"Which she had been taking pills to control her disorder, but gave up after she gotten pregnant. Lillian had said that she and Brian had been trying to make a family, but failed a couple times, until she had the twins.."

"Sickened and glued up twins-"

"Windsor.."The female captain warned up back to the ex-heiress who sat back to her chair with her arms folded up to her chest as she pouted at this warning tone. She kept her mouth shut as the storytelling kept on going on.

"However, there was something else other than having the mother out of the pills because of the pregnancy here.."Keller came up back right before letting Cat follow up.

"And what is that?"

"Let's say she's a total different person when she's out from her pills.."Keller had followed up with an uninterested look right back to his captain."She's into girls..Tess.."Which the female captain gave him a strange look.

"I have nothing against lesbians or gays, here. None of us do.."That didn't left her any different at all.

"Not like that. Let's just say that somehow Lillian and Brian had managed her to 'cure' her from her sickiness over girls as she was under the influence of the pills, here. Making her go 'all stone' If you know what I mean.."At this point, Cat tried very hard to not growl or to slam the table into irritation here. Really, Keller was being an total and mocking jerking ass, now. So much, that made the invisible pain from her ribs appear through her grimace.

"Cat, do you..Do you believe that?"Tess's voice was worried but also on guard as she tried to explain herself, once again like she always felt too. Cat looked back up.

"I don't know. I don't know if June was pretending to be sick or not or the fact that she got brainwashed or so whatever. There are other people that we need to seek and talk onto.."

"Like pasts doctors and friends? Female friends?"Webster had suggested.

"Like that Natasha St-Clair, the woman that she was into her while she was pregnant or later after that. Lillian told us that the two of them had an affair behind Brian's back.."

"One way to be out of control here.."J.T. had sighed a few seats away from her."We're talking about a possible brainwashing matter here. There could be charges against Lillian and Brian.."She followed up by hoping to convince the people around here, even if she didn't felt it.

"And that was for the reason of why you gotten yourself beaten up?"Evan followed up back. She groaned back.

"June tried to challenge me, while I tried to stay on my ground and had told her to come up with us to the station.." It was her word against theirs. Damn.

"Why?"

"Because she had slapped her. Assaulted her..So I went outside to call for back-up-.."Keller had cut out the man's questions all over again. That brought up a nerve here for the embarrassed woman here who held herself from kicking him out.

"And the fight took place. Keller managed to bring an end to it and had the officers to bring her up here..The end.."Cat concluded by pushing Keller's word out of her way. Which earned her an wondering look coming from her irritated partner as he raised up an eyebrow. Like he could cut her off in anytime he wanted so.

"Well, that's a hell of a good and made up story, here.."Frank had sighed, still trying to digest everything coming form a made up fairytale that just told the dark haired woman. "No wonder that girl was giving me the creeps ever since she had been brought up here.."He winced into fear as he was stuck into the cold."She looked like an mad woman coming up from an korean horror movie with her almost naked over there.." Webster looked up perplexed as he had missed something very important for a moment.

"She is still locked up behind bars? I thought she would have had left by now.."

"After she had assaulted a cop, she may have to stay for the rest of the night here and under her lawyer's recomandations, she'll have to keep her mouth shut, for now on.."Tess rolled up her eyes again as her team was slowly starting to loosen up into other things that weren't important.

"Alright, anyone else, would like to add anything important, here?"

"Federal agents are going nuts by protecting drug dealers-"

"It's not what I asked here, Gaines. I meant with the case.."The hunk man just moaned into defeat while Nathan proposed his idea, which sounded way better to Tess's itching ears.

"Hunter and I are still waiting for Wang to show up. So Miss St-Clair is next to our list.."So the meeting with Miss St-Clair was taken away from her and without her consent? That surprised Cat.

"Good. It'll keep from Chandler and Keller away from her, for a moment. I mean, we do not want any other accidents coming up, don't we?"She gave Cat a long stare as it was a way to make her shut up from saying more, than she wanted to.

"Frank and I would go around to the streets and ask the people if they had seen anything else weird around the Wangs's neighbourhood.."Tori proposed as well as her partner followed up with another option, that everyone including Cat had completely forgotten about.

"You almost forgot the babysitter, that Angela girl, who is still missing here.."Damn, the babysitter. How could they had the guts to forget her as well?

"Good thinking Gaines. Add up Angela Mendez to the list, her family would want to know about the twins's case had re-opened today.."Tess followed up back and turned to look around to J.T. and Evan who were left apart from the club.

"J.T., Evan, any news about the toxicology results?"She tried to sound hopeful even if the two guys weren't so much.

"I don't know about that point. I only know that it might take a couple more days to know about the results. I mean it's not like on TV.."J.T. was good professor, but he wasn't a magician. He just couldn't make things appear from two snapping fingers, like he would have had wanted. Neither was Evan.

"We don't have any proof of any knife or pistol, onto our hands. Even if the girls looked like they had been snatched apart by an kitchen knife. We still don't have any evidence.."It was true. There was no crime of evidence at the crime scene, other the girls that had gotten themselves snatched and into blood. The mark of a bloody crime was there, but nothing to demonstrate, anyways.

"Okay, take the time you need to collect more evidence that you can find with the autopsy until we have the toxicology results.."Tess sighed as her attention went back to Cat and Vincent, looking tired."What about you guys? Find anything interesting and I mean other than dealing with a drama queen like Mms Wang here?"

"We do have Wang's psychologist's number and name. Dawson. Looks that she may have a few answers to tell us back, from tomorrow.."Say that again? Cat looked back at Vincent who avoided her surprising stare, like he wasn't impressed as he folded up his arms to his broaded chest.

"Tomorrow? But I thought we were going by her cabin, tonight!"

"Don't get your hopes up yet..You still remember that you got your ass kicked by an lunatic today.." He whistled up back at the terrible and not forgetting memory as Cat tried to defend herself over him.

"I got painkillers. I look fine now-"

"That's what you said, a few hours ago and yet, I had to drag you up to the hospital to shut you up!"

"How dare you-"She had tried to cuss him off as he turned his head over her, to reveal his most frowning face that she ever had seen and that made her look angry. Thinking he could get away with that. With just one look.

"And you're still whining here which makes my ears bleed..Give yourself a break, wouldn't ya?.."

"I'm not whining-You're just-"

"Okay, I think we've heard enough here. How about we all go back home and get a few hours of sleep? I'm sure everybody might need it. Especially Chandler is feeling a little tired, here, no?"Tess tried to clear things up, but that didn't stopped the new duo from arguing to one at another.

"Couldn't agree any better.."Vincent scoffed as the woman right next to him gritted through her teeth. She felt herself boiling like a fury and only at him as his laughing eyes were staring right back to hers.

"Don't you ever shut the hell up?"

"Okay. The meeting is over here. Everybody is dimissed here!"Tess had rose up from her seat as everybody stood up to leave the room, but when it came for Cat to leave she got held up from Tess."Not you, Chandler. Come over to my office, we'll need to speak up about a few things here..Just to make it clear.."Once again, she was caught into trouble as she moaned into disgust which made things for her partner way more fun for him as he rose up and took his file as he leaned down to her side.

"Well, unlike you. I do know; how to keep my mouth shut.."Keller said up close to her ear before he headed away along with the others. His breath had made her shiver through her rushing blood which she hated and almost liked about it. Which she cursed herself, silently as she clutched her eyes shut, feeling so ashamed of herself by letting herself fall for a jerk, even if she didn't wanted to.

Argh, just shut up, Cat!

...

"Looks like you're getting along with Keller here.."Inside of her office, Tess who sat behind her desk stared right at back at Cat who kept on pacing around the place back and forth, trying to calm down her nerves.

"I do not, at all. And like I told you; he's being an ass. A total ass.."

"Sorry to tell you this, but nobody wants to work with him. Neither is Webster who used to be his partner and besides, Webster has to watch over Hunter who is an recovering alchoholic just like you.."Ouch. That was off of the record here. Cat stopped her pacing and sat down onto one of the visitors's chair with a grunt of pain coming from her sore ribs.

"I guess, I have no choice here.."

"And besides, I don't really have much time to hire anybody else here as an homicide detective, here. Special Crimes unit are all packed up. I'm sorry Cat.."

"It's okay. I can handle being an homicide cop, but not Keller. That guy is gonna make me explode into a beast!"

"Talking about exploding a beast here. What the heck happened with your cousin?"Turned out that was the real reason of why Tess wanted to talk to her, in private. Cat tried to giggle like a nervous sixteen year old girl for answer, which did not worked as her ex-partner shot her a unimpressed stare.

"Talking about families issues, here. I had no idea of how far it would have gotten till now.."

"Seriously, Cat..I thought you had this under control.."

"Which was true. Everything went alright with aunt Lillian until June had shown up. And almost naked and drenched.."And in a mess, she almost had added back.

"Talk about being crazy here.."Tess cursed under her breath, which Cat tried to not let that comment affect her. With the countless stories she had created to save her own skin by lying once in a lifetime, it wouldn't be easy for her to let everyone believe into her own telling of truth.

"I don't know if all the brainwashing thing is all true or the fact that June has a couple personalities under her skin or whatever. She did attacked me and right in front two witnesses.."

"Your aunt and Keller had seen it.."And everybody would be talking about it for days. Of how a tiny and usually strong woman had gotten hewrself beaten up by an crazy and trophy and unstable woman.

"Look, if it goes out way more too personal, I might have to pull you off this case.."

"I'm fine. I'm telling you, other than sore ribs. I am okay.."But the female captain didn't looked so convinced as she shook her head.

"You don't look pretty fine to me..Cat.."Tess observed back."Ever since you got back up here, I've given you a chance to take the service, however you do look different now.."Just how different, exactly? Cat narrowed her eyebrows. If it was for a sensitive matter or that she annoyed anybody else, she deserved to know it.

"Define by being different, here.."

"Well you do look pretty emaciated and exhausted. You don't look like you ate.."

"I had coffee, green tea and painkilliers, today..I didn't have had time to eat.."

"That's not a meal.."Tess closed up her eyes shut as the words that had came out earlier just slipped. She didn't meant by calling her crazy thing or looking pretty crazy after she gotten herself released. They just slipped out. Accidents always happen when they are at least excepting to occur.

"Tess-"

"That's not what I meant.."

"What do you mean?"Cat watched her friend snapping her eyes open as she came out point clear about this question. Coming back to the real problem.

"What happened back at the cabin? The one close to the crime scene?"That stopped Cat into moving. Did someone had said anything about the event that had taken place a few minutes after the forensics had taken the twins's bodies away? How come it ended up into Tess's hearing? Unless that partner of hers had said something behind her back. Calling her crazy..

"Did Keller told you?"

"Nope, I'm just asking. Gaines told me that you've believed you've seen someone inside of that cabin.."Tess answered back with a short reply. But it meant more than that as she could sense it. Cat leaned back to her chair with a sigh feeling completely exhausted. Keller told her that there was nobody into that cabin and that she had made that subject on her own to attract attention. The truth might as well say that she has gone up crazy.

"I don't know about that anymore..Why do you think I'm going crazy?"

"After spending seven months into a psychiatric ward, it might be.."Once again, the words just slipped, but Tess meant them this time. She massaged her temple as tons of bricks went through her shoulders. A tons of trouble that her friend made her go through, recentely as she tried to explain.

"Tess, I-"

"Just go home, Cat and get some rest. You'll need for tomorrow if Brian comes back from his little vacation and the fact Dawson would have to consider herself as an suspect, if she has anything to do with June's situation..The noisy brats had their junk this evening, if you know what I mean.."She had reffered to the tons of journalists over the press conferrence that took after the interruption at the interrogation room with Lucheman and Reynolds.

"Tess, I-"

"Save your strenght for tomorrow and don't go and try by playing hero here. I have enough stuff onto my plate like keeping you out from an certain Agent here. Don't talk and stay quiet as long you're still living and for real this time.."The way it had come out from her mouth, Cat looked a little deceived even if she tried not to. After all, the faking death was sort of the plan that she and Gabe had tried to plan off by leaving the country as they would start their new lives away from here and to protect the people they loved away from the danger, but it didn't quite worked when Gabe failed to the explosion after he had gotten her out from the limousine. Cat couldn't deal it with his death as she rushed away from home. But not into another country, but into psychatric ward to help her on dealing with her demons even it meant by doing into the hard way.

"You still haven't forgiven me, aren't you?"Her features had sobered as the female captain looking back down to the pile of papers that she has been working ever since this morning.

"Nothing like putting dirt onto your empty grave which has been removed, recently. No, I think it's the lying thing that has hurting me and not only me, but to Keller as well. Which, I don't know how long you're gonna keep on going and lying to his face.." Not when her partner didn't wanted to do anything with her. And something had told her guts that Tess had figured all the truth out. Yep, she had found out the truth which Cat tried to apologize and explain. It turned out to be an habit for her lately.

"It's not that easy, Tess. I didn't had much choice. A lot has been complicated-"

"No, it's not. You're the one who makes it complicated than it already is.."Tess argued back and with one warning finger she added this."One last chance, Cat and if I hear that you're having any other trouble with the case or with anyone else, I'll have to pull you off for getting too much closer..Understand?"She had concluded as the not so innocent cop nodded briefly. Still looking sober.

"And now, whoosh and go home.."Cat nodded back as she rose up from her seat and headed towards the door. Just as she touched the door handle, she took a peek from her shoulder as she checked Tess who was now rubbing her eyes,looking beaten up by fatigue such as she was here, but it didn't stopped her from doing her work.

"I heard you got married. I'm happy to hear that, Tess. For the last ten years, everyone here had been expecting me of getting myself engaged to Evan. Well it did turned out the other way, no?"She tried to lighten up the subject as she watched Tess's shoulders shrugging off.

"Everybody changes, Cat. Everybody here did move on onto theirs lives. Like I have and so did you.."

"Yeah. So have I.."Cat whispered back as she turned her head away, on oppening up the door as she moved away from the office quiet enough to not disturb a mouse. But as she soon stepped out she spotted three people talking down onto the first floor. Three familiar voices. Cat walked up closer to see and to her curiosity she spotted both Frank, Tori, that guy J.T. and Vincent as they were cracking up some jokes and laughed all together. Oh God. Keller's laughter was nothing than from what she had heard earlier, when he had made fun of her through the meeting room. It was all natural and real here. All simple when she had seen this smile cracking up to his features and how these hidden dimples looked out great, despite being hidden through his heavy stubble that covered up his jaw and cheeks. He looked young and refreshed here and she was the one who got the chance to see it. How madly her heartbeat was struggling on staying normal and not to burst out of her ribcage as she just stood up there, by looking down and listening to them as she almost wished that she would have wanted to be a part of it. Like the times when she had felt free.

Just like it had been before.

"Looks like it's Red Bird's turn to pay off the tour order, this time.."Frank cracked up to Tori's smile who switched up into a shocking stare.

"Why it always has to be me, that I have to pay off the beer?"

"Because, you're the youngest of all of us here, and the richiest-"Tori just put her hands onto her waist as she eyed him with a frown. Which made Frank laugh even more. For him, she did looked like a little just liked to annoy her.

"You do remember that I got disowned, huh? I mean, my father got rid of me ever since I got here.."What, how did this happened? From the magazines and news papers, Tori and her wealthy father, Curt Windsor had always seemed to look close as father and daughter at the Wall Street center. Cat wondered what changed the relationship between them so that the red haired woman had ended up different.

"Still, you got gold money onto your hands, kid, which means that you pay for the turn, tonight.."

"And besides, we would be too drunk to drive ourselves back at home, might as well need an sober driver to keep us from getting ourselves into trouble.."J.T. dragged up back as the hunk turned to look at him with a smirk.

"Afraid of the toughy and little wife, Forbes?" The guy in here scratched the back of his hair, nervously.

"Not much. Just want some fresh air after dealing with death lately.."After all, he did do all the job after Evan did rushed away to puke his insides out, in hurry.

"Why don't you just ask Hunter or Webster?"Tori asked again.

"Cause Webster had ditched us fast, before we even noticed, Hunter has his own issues with the booze and Chandler is not a solution since she is being surpervised like a tiny and unstable kid and by the law. So you're the only one left.."Keller had followed up back with the same cracking smile. That asshole, telling his buddies that she looked like a undiciplined kid. He was making her frustrated. And Cat had known that he enjoyed that.

"And besides, who can resist this beautiful lady's smile here? Nobody can, but me.."Frank tried to flirt back as he put Keller back into his place who rolled up his eyes.

"Really funny, Gaines.."

"Let's just get going.."The red haired woman groaned as she was being surrounded by uncontroling testerones here. Cat had that feeling when she and Tess were the only ones being paired a team. The very first and female team to work against men here in ten years. She didn't blamed Tess if she was still angry with her after all the lying and the faking death thing along with Gabe. And her mother's unforgettable sins that caused everything to begin with.

Which form up a hole inside of her heart.

And with Vincent Keller's hard stare towards her, wasn't making things any easier than that though. And speaking of the devil here, the man looked up to reach up her surprising eyes as if she got caught off guard. His handsome features and hauntening eyes had locked up with hers. They managed to make her feel trapped and paralyzed through its strong power and making her feel relax as his hardnest stare had loosened up. Which her heart couldn't helped but to skip up a beat as Vincent managed to take her breath away. It couldn't just fade away. He looked so lost as he continued to stare up onto her eyes, like he went back into his mind for a moment.

"Hey Keller, are you coming?"Frank's voice called from the entrance as he, Tori and J.T were waiting for him to come over.

He stood up down there, looking up at her for a longtime and almost felt like an eternity, until he managed to move away from her emerald eyes as he joined up the others and left the station.

Leaving her almost breathless.

...

I know, I know. It's not much. But I felt like I should put on Reynolds's background story with Vanessa and how they had broken up. Like it was mentioned back at S2. Over here, Reynolds wants to make amends by protecting Cat from the evil twin. And Lucheman? Tadah!

You liked VinCat's fight? I sure did! And boy, she hates him for making her feel so great and fulled of desire. Her hormes went wild here.
