Thanks so much for everyone's reviews :D it's lovely to read your nice comments :)


Rogue's POV

After the kiss, and believe me that was one hell of a kiss, Vic and I walked for a few more minutes through the trees.

'My brothers and I found this place when we were young. It's quite cool because hardly anyone knows about it.'

'How long until we get there?'

'We're here' Vic said pointing to an old looking tree.

I wasn't quite sure what to say because, to me, it just looked like any other tree, nothing special about it at all. Vic laughed at my expression.

'You have you climb it. Close your eyes.'

'What? Why?' I ask, but I do it anyway.

'Just trust me. I'll help you climb the tree.'

I was kind of scared about climbing the tree with my eyes closed because it dramatically decreased my sense of balance but Vic kept his arm around me at all times so I knew I wouldn't fall. Finally Vic told me to sit down on the branch beneath our feet and he sat down beside me, holding my hand.

'Okay, now open your eyes.'

I did as he said and gasped. The view was absolutely stunning; we were so high up you could see everything. I didn't realise how late it was getting, we much have spent hours at the café, since the sun was setting on the horizon, showering everything in its path in a warm golden light.

'wow…it's beautiful'

'I know. it's even better when the sun is setting.'

'I feel… I feel like I'm on top of the world!'

'You're on top of my world.' Victor smiled

I throw back my head and laugh 'seriously, what movie did you get your lines from? You're so cheesy!'

'You love that about me, don't deny it.'

We stayed in each other's arms in the tree for a while, not really talking, just appreciating the view. Vic reluctantly said we should probably make our way back since it was getting late and it was about half and hours walk back to the café. It didn't take long though because I challenged Vic to a race when we got nearer to the café. I won, much to Vic's annoyance.

We arrived back at Vic's parent's house a while later, it looked as though everyone was in the process of making dinner when we walked through the door.

'Did you two have a nice time together?' Asked Karla

'Oh yeah, it was wonderful! Vic brought me cake and danced with me and then he kissed me.'

'Awhhh sweet!' Exclaimed Sky

'Rogue, I thought you said you weren't going to tell them' Vic groaned.

'Sorry' I laugh.

'That doesn't sound like Vic, are you sure it's not an imposter?' Asked Xav

Vic scrolled though the messages on his phone and moaned. 'Two missed calls from work. Better ring and see what they want.' He sighed and left the room. I started helping with dinner although I was only allowed to cut the carrots up seeing as everyone is convinced that I can't cook.

Victor came back into the kitchen after about 10minutes looking pale and shaken. He sat down at the table and took a swig of my beer.

'What did they say, Vic?' Asked Saul worriedly.

Victor took another gulp of my drink. 'You know I told you about that girl they found dead? The savant who was all cut up and left at the side of the road?' He said, looking down

'What about it?' Asked Saul

'They've found another girls body. Another savant. She was found in an alley on the outskirts of Colorado. She was….She was decapitated. Only 17.' Vic looked like he was going to be sick.

Karla gasped 'Oh god! How could someone do that?!'

'Do they think it's the same guy?' Asked Trace

'Yes. They're investigating as though it's a serial murder. Just thought I should warn you, you should be careful. Don't go out alone.'

Vic squeezed my hand tightly. The other brothers were holding the soulfinders close to them.

'Are you going into work?'

'Yeah. They want me to look over the crime scene photo's' Vic shuddered

'What about Rogue?' Asked Karla

'Will you come with me? I could do with some company.' Vic asked me, smiling weakly.

'Sure'

'We'll stay at my house for a bit, until this case is sorted.' He said

'I haven't unpacked my stuff yet so I'm all ready to go'

'Good. We need to leave in about 10 minutes' Vic said, smiling apologetically at his family.

This time we took Vic's car instead of his bike. It was one of those official looking cars with blacked out windows, probably a work car. He was playing music loudly and concentrating on the road really hard. Vic didn't say much during the car journey and I realised it's because he was scared: scared of losing me. I squeeze his leg reassuringly and rest it there for the rest of the journey.

The building where Vic works was very official looking, with people running around wearing suits and drinking coffee. I felt very much out of place in my Giraffe top.

'Agent Benedict, go straight through to S6, Mr Farrelly is waiting for you.' said the receptionist.

'Thanks' Vic muttered at took me through a number of corridors until we reached room S6. There were five men in the room, all wearing suits and sorting through a mass of paper.

'Benedict. Finally.' Said a powerful looking man with grey hair.

'Sorry, Sir. I only just got you messages.'

'And who's this you've brought along with you?' He said looking a bit annoyed.

'This is Rogue, the girl I told you about.'

'It's lovely to meet you sir, sorry for intruding like this.' I smile and hold out my hand for the man to shake. He seemed to soften slightly when he shook my hand.

'Call me Gerald.'

'So do we have any leads yet?' Asked Vic, taking a seat at the table and going through the piles of paper.

'Well we think the fact that both girls were savants isn't a coincidence and shows that the murder has knowledge on savants or is one himself.' Said one of the men at the table

'Well that's a start' said Victor, skimming through the sheets of paper.

'Both the girls were a similar age which is another trend.' Said another man.

'And they were both killed in the same area.' Finished Gerald.

Vic and the men around the table went into a long discussion on possible leads, suspects, witnesses and other information, none of them really including me. Instead, I picked up some of the information pages on the victims and the suspects and slowly read through them, which took a long time since the suspect list was incredibly long. After a while, I saw a trend, maybe one that the men missed.

'Umm…I think I know something which might help.' I say timidly, which is very out of character for me. Only Victor hears me, the other men continue talking, or arguing.

'Shut up a minute. Rogue has something to say.' He said to the men. Everyone's eyes turned towards me, looking annoyed and impatient.

'What is it Rogue?' Asked Gerald

'Well, I noticed that both the girls had soulfinders…and I was going through the list of suspects, and out of the suspects who are savants, five of them haven't found their soulfinders but one of them did, Harry Dernick, but his soulfinders died recently.'

The men look at each other confused but Vic smiles slightly, like he knows what I'm getting at.

'Okay…assuming that Harry is the killer, maybe he killed the two girls out of…well sort of revenge since they had soulfinders and he didn't.'

Vic smiled at me 'I think she has a point, sir.'

'I think so too, Benedict. Right, were going to use this as a lead. I want every piece of information you can get on Harry Dernick. Passports, character reports, everything. Rogue, you're good. Fancy working for me?'

'Are you offering me a job?'

'Yes. I need more people on my team like you.'

'Not just yet though, Rogue still needs to take it easy for a bit, after Afghanistan' said Victor.

'Of course. Start whenever, Rogue.' Gerald smiled

'Right let's make a start on this case.' Declared Victor and started issuing tasks to the other men around the table.
