Hey guys!

Tomorrow I'm going back to classses so I'll be pretty busy and I decided to update today! so you'll get two chapters, which is more the equivalent of three, in a day! :)

ENJOY!

"Get this piece of trash out of my house" Mr. West ordered and the two detectives started pushing Beck to the door.

"Please stop, I didn't do it…No!" Beck insisted as the two cops made him walk but then Cal's voice stopped him.

"You know what's really interesting?" Cal suddenly asked and they all turned to him. "When I accused Beck everyone got shocked and felt either fear or anger or confusion but only one person stood out in the crowd, one person in the whole room felt relief" He commented and the gang looked at each other confused. "Strange, right? But if you think about it, it's the only reaction a person could have when he sees someone else taking the blame for his faults" He commented as he walked around the study and stopped next to Nathan.

"Nathan?" Mr. West asked, sadness and confusion dripping from his voice.

"Nathan, you stayed away from me all this time because you were afraid I would find out your little secret, right?" Cal asked and he stared back at him nervously. "I knew you were hiding something"

"I don't know what you're talking about" Nathan responded.

"You all saw that little shrug he did? It's involuntary but it means he doesn't believe what he just said" Cal explained. "And earlier when he asked who would want to do the kidnapping, his eyebrows said he knew the answer to that question…because it was him, he wanted to do it" He affirmed.

"This is ridiculous" Nathan affirmed. "Jade is my niece, why would I want to hurt her?"

"There it is again! You know the answer so tell us" Cal responded and turned back to the cops. "Leave that boy alone, he didn't do it" He said to them and Beck felt his soul coming back into his body.

"You just told us he did it" Detective Woods said.

"I lied, I needed to confirm my theory" Cal explained. "Just take the cuffs off, Beck's only mistake was to be a jerk to his girlfriend…" he said and turned to Beck. "I suppose this was enough punishment for you, son, if a guy treated my Emily like you treated Jade I wouldn't want him around her" He commented and Beck looked down ashamedly. "But I can see you love her so you may deserve a second chance but that's up to her and only her, now let's go back to you, Nathan" He said and turned back to Nathan.

"You're insane, I haven't touched my niece" He affirmed.

"That's true but you let someone else do it, which is pretty much the same" Cal responded. "Now I need to know why, I have a theory but I'm gonna need you to confirm it" He commented and Nathan stared at him coldly.

"What theory?" Mr. West asked. "Maybe it's wrong, maybe it's not him"

"Oh it's him, Mr. West, no question about it" Cal affirmed and Mr. West looked down completely heartbroken, he couldn't believe it. "Must be tough to be your brother's employee, right? Always behind his shadow"

"I'm not behind his shadow" Nathan said.

"You see that on his face and his voice? That's anger, a lot of anger" Cal commented. "I had my employees research the whole family and you've been making your way into the system along with Mr. West, am I right?" He asked and Mr. West nodded. "But you're always behind him and now that he's been gone, you've taken over his position…just like you always wanted, tell me Nathan, was it worth it? Was it worth to have your own niece tortured just so you could have that seat?" He questioned and Nathan looked down.

"What?" Mr. West asked and Nathan turned to him so Cal chuckled.

"This wasn't about hurting Jade, she was just in your way and you decided to use her" Cal affirmed. "You needed your brother to make mistakes in his job, releasing information about protected witnesses and releasing a criminal for no reason would have caused him to lose his job and maybe go to prison which would have left the spot for other person, for you!" He exclaimed and Nathan stared at him coldly so he smiled because he knew he was on the right path. "So you contacted a gang of criminals your brother had convicted, they would get the money and you would get the job and the recognition you've always wanted"

"Nathan…is that true?" Mr. West asked still in denial and Nathan looked at him.

"Yes it is" Cal affirmed and turned to the cops. "Research his house and all his phone records, I'm sure you'll find what you need"

"John, I…" Nathan started but John interrupted him.

"No, don't you dare say another word" He said full of anger. "My daughter was tortured and raped because of you! If you'd told me from the beginning, I would've given you what you wanted if you'd told me your intentions but you hurt my kid, you hurt my Jade…You betrayed your own blood!"

"I'm sorry" Nathan said but John shook his head as he tried to control his impulses.

"Get him out before I kill him" Mr. West demanded coldly and turned to the other side while the cops arrested Nathan.

"I'm sorry" Cal said sincerely and Mr. West looked down sadly.

"Thank you for helping us" John responded.

"No problem" Cal said and turned to the gang. "Let's go…" He ordered so they would leave Mr. West alone.

"You scared the living shit out of me" Beck commented once they were outside.

"You deserved it" He responded and Beck took a breath. "If you love her you'll wait, she needs time to heal, don't push her…okay?" Cal demanded and he nodded.

Beck decided to follow Cal's advice and give Jade time to get better so he stayed away from her house for the next couple of days, the same days she used to get used to being free again, it still felt surreal for her because she had been completely sure she would die. "Hey" Gillian said and sat down next to Jade in the garden.

"Hi" She said and smiled.

"How are you feeling?" Gillian asked.

"Better" Jade said sincerely.

"You do know about your uncle, right?" She questioned and Jade nodded. "Beck had nothing to do with this"

"He left me on the street" Jade commented.

"Yes, he did and it wasn't right but is that enough reason for you to reject him forever? Or to try to stab him?" Gillian asked and chuckled so Jade smiled and looked down. "He is not perfect but he loves you" she affirmed and Jade turned to her. "I think you should let him explain himself and see if you still want him around, it's your decision but you should look at all the possibilities before making it"

"I will" Jade said and smiled, Gillian smiled back and held her hand.

"I, umm, I'm going back to Washington" She informed and Jade's smile dropped.

"What? So soon?" Jade asked sadly. "Please stay more time"

"I can't, Jade, I need to get back to my normal environment and I also have a job, remember? I can't stay here for too long" Gillian commented and Jade looked down sadly, she didn't want to lose Gillian. "But hey, there's no reason to be sad…I'm not dying"

"But you're going across the country" Jade responded.

"It's where I live but you don't have to be sad" Gillian said and smiled as she held Jade's face sweetly to make her look at her. "You can come and visit me whenever you wish and I'll come and visit you whenever I can, would that work for you?"

"I'm sorry, Gillian, you…you don't have to do this, I'm acting like a selfish kid" Jade commented embarrassedly. "You have your life, it's not your fault that I am like this…and I don't even know why I feel this way, it's silly…I just feel that I don't want to lose you even though we met just a few days ago" she commented and chuckled a little so Gillian smiled. "I'm sorry"

"Don't be, I understand how you feel" She responded.

"I'll be okay" Jade affirmed and Gillian smiled.

"You know…If I had a child, I would like her to be like you" Gillian said sincerely and Jade stared at her with tears in her eyes before hugging her. They hugged for several seconds and then moved back to wipe the tears off their faces. "I'm not your mom but I can be your friend, would you like that?" She asked and Jade nodded. "Great, me too"

"I'm gonna miss you" Jade said sincerely and Gillian smiled as she stood up.

"I'll see you soon, Jade" She responded and walked away so Jade sighed sadly but smiled.

"You said goodbye?" Cal asked as Gillian walked towards the door where a cab was already awaiting them.

"No, I said I'll see her soon because I will" She responded and he smiled.

"Let's go home, love"

Jade was just sitting on the chair looking at the beautiful garden and thinking about everything Gillian had said about Beck, she was really angry with him but she loved him so she was conflicted. She was lost in her thoughts but then she felt a hand on her shoulder so she immediately flinched.

"I'm sorry, it's me" Beck said and she relaxed when she saw him but then she looked to the other side, he sat down next to her and simply stared at the trees in silence for several seconds but he finally decided to speak. "Jade, we need to talk…Please listen to me" He demanded and she turned to him emotionlessly.

"What?" She asked. "Are you gonna say you're sorry for leaving me on the street? I've heard it already"

"No, I'm here to say I'm sorry for not being the man you deserve" He responded and she stared at him slightly confused and surprised. "I'm sorry for not defending you from my aunt that day and all the other times my family treated you badly, I was a coward and a jerk and I'm sorry you had to do what I should've done long ago and called them out" Beck commented and Jade kept looking at him surprised, she'd never expected him to admit that was his mistake.

"Wow…that was unexpected" Jade said sincerely.

"Yes, well…it's true" He responded. "I finally told them I won't tolerate their behavior anymore, if they don't accept you then they don't accept me"

"They know what happened?" Jade questioned and he sighed.

"Yes"

"And what did they say?" She asked.

"Well, my dad yelled at me and said I wasn't the man he'd raised because he would've never left his girlfriend walk to school after a fight" Beck admitted. "My mom has been really concerned about you, she felt guilty...she thought you would die because she caused our fight by inviting my aunt, she's really sorry and my aunt, well, she…she didn't really care, she said they'd probably taken you because of how you were dressed and that you deserved anything you got, she also said they'd done me a favor by taking you away" He admitted ashamedly and she smiled ironically as she shook her head upset. "My parents called her out on her misogyny but I want nothing to do with her and I doubt she'll be coming back" He said sincerely and she nodded.

"She can rot" Jade responded. "Your parents sound less awful, though" she said and he chuckled.

"They're very sorry and they asked me to tell you that they'd like to see you and apologize in person" Beck commented and she sighed.

"Do they know we broke up?" Jade questioned and he looked down.

"I was hoping that would have changed by the time you meet them" Beck said and smiled so she chuckled a little. "I also forgot to mention you tried to kill me, that would have probably had funny responses" he commented and she laughed as she covered her face.

"I'm sorry…I don't know what I was thinking" Jade said and looked at him.

"It's okay, I get it" He said and smiled at her. "I've missed your smile" He commented and she sighed. "I love you, you know that, right?"

"You do?" Jade asked.

"I do, more than you think" He affirmed and held her hands. "But I'll understand if you don't want me back, it's your decision" Beck said and she stared at him for several seconds trying to find the slightest sign of lies or doubt in his face but she felt he was being honest so she simply hugged him; he smiled and hugged her back. "Oh god, I've missed you" Beck said sincerely as he kept her close and stroked the back of her head.

"Ow!" Jade said when his hand touched a part of her waist and she broke the hug.

"What's wrong?" He asked confused.

"Nothing, it's just…they kicked me a lot and it still hurts" She said and he stroked her face gently but felt anger running through his body, she could see he felt bad for her so she looked down sadly.

"What's the matter?" Beck questioned.

"What they did to me…it was horrible" Jade commented and tried to keep the tears inside but just thinking about it made her want to cry. "I don't know if I can forget it, everything reminds me of them and whenever I close my eyes I see them and I hear them laughing and cheering while I suffocated or drowned or ached after the beatings" she said with a few tears streaming down her face.

"You will, Jade, you're strong and this won't destroy you" Beck affirmed as he looked into her eyes and then hugged her. "And I'll be with you every step of the way, you'll see things very differently in a few months I promise"

"That's what Gillian said…" Jade commented.

"Well, she is a doctor so she must be right" He responded and she chuckled.

"I suppose so…"

One day Gillian was in her office just doing the finances of the company, that was one of her duties and it kept her distracted. It'd been two months since the kidnapping and she was doing okay with therapy but sometimes the memories hit her and sometimes she had nightmares about it so she preferred to keep her head busy with other things.

"Good morning, love" Cal said as he walked into the office and she turned to him.

"Hey" She responded and he gave her a peck. "How are you doing with all this stuff? Do you need any help?"

"Oh you're here to help me?" Gillian asked surprised. "That's a first"

"No but I can tell Loker to come and give you a hand" He responded and she chuckled as she shook her head so he smiled.

"Hey" Torres said as she and Loker stood by the door.

"Hi" Gillian said and they just stayed there so she looked at them confused "Do we have a new case or why are you two standing in my door?" she asked, they looked at each other and then at Cal. "What are you all hiding?"

"I have a surprise for you" Cal commented and she stared at him disconcertedly.

"Someone's here to see you" Loker said and they stepped to the side so Jade walked into the office. Gillian immediately stood up and walked towards her with a smile on her face.

"Gillian!" Jade exclaimed and hugged her.

"Jade, I'm so happy to see you…You look great!" Gillian said nicely as they held hands.

"Thanks, so do you" Jade responded.

"What a nice surprise, are you here by yourself?" She asked.

"Yeah, Mr. Lightman said it'd be okay for me to stay at your house for a couple of days" Jade informed and Gillian turned to Cal so he faked a big smile and she chuckled. "Is there a problem with that? I can stay in a hotel, don't worry"

"Oh no, there's no problem! It'll be lovely to have you there" Gillian said sincerely and Jade nodded.

"I like your office and this place is so cool…Loker showed me the cube and everything you do, it's amazing" Jade commented.

"Well yes, it's fun when I don't have to do the taxes and payments" Gillian said and chuckled.

"Don't worry, darling, I'll care of it…You two go get coffee or something" Cal suggested.

"I am going to take that offer" Gillian said and grabbed her purse from the desk. "Let's go, we have lots of things to talk about and we could watch some movies and eat ice cream and tomorrow you can come with me and see what we do more closely, we currently have a case involving a senator and his ties with the mafia, you'll get to see everything we do up close, would you like that?" She asked.

"Yes, sounds great" Jade said excitedly and Gillian nodded with a smile on her face as both women made their way out of The Lightman Group.

"How's therapy?" Gillian questioned.

"It's alright, I'm doing better" Jade said, "And you?"

"I'm doing okay too, it's difficult...but it's all going well" She responded. "Don't stop going, it'll help you"

"I won't" Jade said and sighed. "You know, I have a lot to tell you"

"Like what?" Gill asked.

"Well, first of all my dad has a boyfriend" Jade commented but Cal had already told Gillian everything so she wasn't surprised.

"And you mind it?" Gillian asked.

"Um…I don't know, I mean I don't really care that he's gay…I just don't understand why he's lied all this time, I feel I don't know that man...it's like living with a stranger" Jade responded. "I also know my mom killed herself because she saw him, I think he didn't tell me because he thought I would blame him"

"And you do?" She asked and Jade thought about it.

"I don't know, maybe if he hadn't lied to her she wouldn't be dead" Jade commented. "But maybe I wouldn't have been born either"

"Jade, we've seen footage of your mom in family videos from before she died and…he was not the cause" Gillian affirmed ad Jade turned to her confused. "Your mother was depressed, what she saw was just a trigger but she would've done it eventually even if she had never found out about your father's homosexuality" she informed and Jade sighed sadly as they got in Gillian's car.

"I'm still getting used to his real self, it's weird to think of my father as a homosexual…it's not that it's wrong and I don't judge him for it, I just never imagined it" Jade commented. "Things are so different now, my dad has changed since he told me the truth…He doesn't look at me like I'm a mistake anymore, I don't know why…and even that feels weird, I was so used to feel his judgment on me all the time and now he seems to like me more and he smiles and…I don't know, it's so strange" she explained.

"Your father hid his feelings from you for a very long time, he's just letting himself be free and you'll get used to it like with all changes" Gillian said and Jade smiled a little. "Now tell me about happy things, how's school? How are your friends?"

"It's all fine and they're okay, busy with plays and projects" Jade responded.

"And what about Beck?" Gillian asked as she drove.

"We are back together…and things are different, even his parents treat me better" Jade commented gladly. "He's been really supportive but he jokes about my stabbing attempt a lot" she said and Gillian chuckled. "What about you and Lightman?"

"It's been…good, it's a little weird because we work together and we've been friends for years but I think we are doing well" Gillian explained and sighed.

"I'm glad, you deserve to be happy" Jade said, she was usually never so nice to people but Gillian was special to her. She turned to her and smiled sincerely.

"You deserve to be happy too, Jade" Gillian affirmed nicely. "And you will be, it's all gonna be good and today we are going to have a great time"

Gillian and Jade continued seeing each other periodically and texting or calling, sometimes Gillian would take a weekend off to go to Los Angeles or Jade would travel to Washington D.C., she especially liked to do that because seeing Gillian at work was interesting and fun for her. Sometimes she even took her friends with her because they wanted to see it themselves so they all learned things and tried to apply them but it wasn't so easy for them.

Gillian and Jade had met in really inconvenient situation and they'd been through a lot of pain together but that had caused them to bond really fast and develop a unique love for each other. They were friends but not only that, Jade saw in Gillian the mother she'd lost but needed and Gillian saw in Jade the daughter she'd always wished to have but hadn't so they were both happy to have each other in their lives. In the end being a target for the actions of others had been a scar in both of their lives but also a blessing in a way because the bond they'd created would last forever.

Yay kind of a happy ending!

You guys knew who the mole was from like four chapters ago and you guessed what was going on in the last chapter with Cal using Beck as a distraction, it was kind of obvious but I expected you to be even a little surprised haha I guess I'm not really good at plot twists.

I do hope you enjoyed the story, though. It was my first crossover and I had fun with it, I hope you did too.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! Remember to make it long please, tell me your thoughts on this chapter and the story as a whole, I really enjoy seeing your comments, favorite parts and all that! :) xx
