Thieves Without Honor

Love and Regret

"I guess congratulations are in order," Julia stiffened when she heard him speak behind her.

Julia slowly turned around to face Horatio. He took off his sunglasses to look Julia in the eyes. She was currently at school waiting for the children to get out.

"You heard," Horatio nods, "The wedding was a little spur of the moment."

"Does Kyle know?" Luna probably knew as soon as they said I do.

"Is that why you've come, to lecture me about who I should be seeing?" She narrowed her gaze at him. She didn't know why Horatio thought she couldn't protect their children.

"Julia, Ron is after your money."

"My money?" She scoffed in disbelief.

"The money that you have made over the years doing what you do."

"Really? And what is that." She crossed her arms over her chest growing more annoyed and impatient with him with every word that fell out of his mouth.

"When you're gone he will eliminate the one thing that stands between him and that money."

"You're talking about Kyle and Luna. You don't think I considered that."

"I am not going to let that happen," He warned her. Horatio was going to take down Ron one way or another. He was not going to let him hurt Kyle, Luna or Jane Doe.

"You don't have a choice,"

"But where the children are concerned I do,"

Julia hesitated, weighing over her options carefully. "What are you proposing?" She said after a few seconds of silence.

"Do not go back home. You meet me at Miami shores airstrip at five pm today."

The bell rang and students began rushing out of the building. Kyle spotted his parents in a middle of a serious conversation a few yards ahead of him. He frowned. He could take a guess at what his dad was doing here.

"They are innocent," Horatio reminded her.

"We'll be there at five," She agreed.

Horatio walked past her to Kyle who was already walking up towards him.

"What's going on dad?" Kyle sighed.

"I need to talk to you."

"This looks serious," Kyle noted.

"It is serious," He agreed.

"Is it about Ron again?" Kyle just wanted this to end. He was done hearing about how Ron was dangerous. He wasn't thrilled at Ron being his step-father, but there was nothing he could do about it. Luna had told him at lunch, she had been keeping tabs on Julia when wedding certificate came up. He didn't like the way Ron would stare at Luna, like she was someone bug needing to be squashed. He tried keeping her and Jane out of the house when he was around.

"It's about Ron. Now listen to me I need you and your mother to leave the country for a while."

"What do you mean a while. How long is a while?" He immediately got on the defensive. He was not going to just pack up his stuff and leave, not when he finally found them.

"For as long as it takes." Horatio looked into Kyle's eyes trying to convey how much danger they were in with Ron running around them.

"Look, it took us our entire life to meet you, okay now you just want to send us away?" Kyle spoke for Luna as well. She hated change with a fiery passion and she was not going to like this on bit.

"Someday you will understand what I'm doing."

"That's what they all say, then they're just gone." Kyle snapped, sick of hearing the same thing before he and Luna were shipped to some other god awful foster home.

"I need you to trust me,"

"Yeah, they all say that too."

They both looked up when they heard a commotion. They saw Jane exiting the building with Luna right on her heels. They saw Luna grab Jane's wrist and spin her around until she was facing her. Kyle frowned when he saw the tears in Jane's eyes.

~11~

"Hold on!" Luna exclaimed before grabbing Jane's wrist and spun her around till she was facing her. "What do you mean 'I can't do this anymore?' What can't you do?"

"This!" Jane gestured wildly between them. "I can't pretend everything's fine anymore, Luna."

"What? What's wrong? Just tell me and I'll fix it." Luna shrugged, not seeing what the big deal was. All Jane had to do was ask and she'd fix it for her in a heartbeat.

"I mean the whole situation with everything. I can't take it anymore, Luna. It has to stop."

"I can make it stop, just ask." She tried comforting her. She'll stop whatever was bothering Jane Doe.

Jane closed her eyes, Luna still wasn't getting her message. She hoped she could get out of saying it out loud, but now she didn't have a choice in the matter.

"I mean us, Luna."

"What do you mean us? There's nothing to fix right... right?"

"Luna I'm just tired of this. The business is failing isn't it? Then there's the situation with your mom and Ron. The tension between us that's been here for days. It just... it's getting to me." Luna blinked, how did she know the business was failing? She hadn't told Jane anything, and she and Derek were the only ones who knew. And she hadn't heard of Derek since he was sent to prison.

"Then we'll go somewhere. Just you me." She reached placing a hand on shoulder, "I promise not to ignore you and you can decide where we go for how long. You can plan out every detail if that's what you want." Luna whispered staring into her eyes.

"I can't go away with you Luna. Not now... not ever." Jane swallowed back the bile in her throat.

"W-What? But..." She stuttered slightly. She could feel something shifting in the atmosphere, like a bond was about to be broken.

Jane took a deep breath, mentally and emotionally preparing herself for what she was about to say next.

"I can't do this, Luna." She admitted, "I can't be with you and slap a smile on my face and pretend everything's fine when it's not. Luna I'm not-"

"No," Luna shook her head in denial cutting her off, "Don't say it." She begged her, "Please don't say it." But she saw it in her eyes, the dreaded words that could take down even her if they were spoken.

Jane looked right into Luna's eyes and said, "Luna I'm not in love with you anymore." She whispered slowly reaching up and taking off the gold heart necklace Luna had given to her when they first had declared their love for each other at the docks.

She gently placed the necklace in Luna's hand, folding her fingers around it. "Give this to someone who deserves it." She whispered, reaching up to place a final kiss on Luna's cheek, before turning and walking away. Leaving the woman she loved behind.

Jane tried holding in her sobs as best as she could while rounding the corner of the school building. She placed a hand over her mouth to stop the wails from coming out.

Why did I do that? Why did I hurt her? I can't go through with this. Seeing Luna's face twist into pure gut wrenching pain was too much for her. She had to turn back and apologize.

Just as she was about to turn around and run back to Luna and beg for forgiveness, she slammed into a hard chest. She gasped looking up into Derek's eye's. The one who wanted revenge so badly for the loss of his father.

"Good job Jane," He sneered, "Now all we have to do is wait for your precious Luna to sink into a dark abyss. That's when we'll kill her."

"What? No! You said if I did what you wanted you'd leave her alone." She lunged at him, but his bodyguards, more like thugs for hire, held her back tying her wrists together. She was then carried off to the black van, with her fighting them every second. For Luna.

Oh God, what did I do?

~11~

Luna watched as Jane walked away from her, She couldn't move, she couldn't scream or shout out to her to stop. To come back to her. Her mind began swimming in a void of nothing but heartbreak, so this is why some people kill themselves when their lovers break up with them, it just too fucking painful to bear.

Il mio tesoro, please come back to me.

She didn't realize she was hyperventilating until Kyle approached her. "Luna," She think he called out her name, but she didn't care. She just wanted her Jane back... her little doe. What did I do? Was I too controlling with her? Did I push her away? When did it all go wrong? What happened?

"Luna, what's going on? Where's Jane going?"

Suddenly the pain rescinded at the sound of her name, and all that was left was pure anger. Anger at Jane for leaving her. For rejecting her love. For the business collapsing. For mom getting married to Ron. For taking the damned contract that led them here in the first place. But most of all, she was angry at herself for pushing Jane away.

"I'll tell you what's 'going on' Kyle." She sneered, finally looking into his eyes. Kyle felt frozen when she glared at him with such anger it made him take small step back. "Jane Doe is nothing but a little bitch, who will stomp on anyone to get what she wants."

As soon as she said those words she instantly regretted it. Jane was nothing short of kind and gentle, no matter how much she was hurting Jane didn't deserve to be called that. But she was too pissed off to care or to take it back at the moment. She has never been this angry in her life, and quite frankly she didn't know what to do with all the hate coursing through her blood stream.

She clenched her fists together, being mindful of the necklace clutched in her right hand, and took a deep breath. She tried fighting back the anger and hurt as she stalked past Kyle and her parents.

I'm not in love with you.

She had no idea where she was going, but anywhere was better then here.

A/N: *Ducks behind desk* Holy shit. Did anyone else see that coming? Well it looks likes Jane and Luna are no more. What a shocker! Thank you guys for you love and support.

Reviews? It makes me happy! :)
