Chapter XIV

They arrived in Boston in mid-afternoon. They went straight to the house of his parents.

His cousin, had told him they would be there.

His father's body. would be at the funeral home until the funeral, but the family had gathered in the house. For the most part, to prepare the reception the next day.

Upon arrival at the door, they saw that there were many cars parked on the street, usually empty, the suburb where they lived.

Forbes's house continued to be the same, and Vincent could not help thinking about summer, had happened there, accompanying his friend.

When Jt was 18, his parents moved to Boston because began working at Harvard. He stayed in New York to study at the University there, sharing an apartment near the campus with Vincent ... but that was not an obstacle, that they should come see them frequently.

Vincent, parked his wife's Mustang, the only hole that was free and smiled. He turned to look at his friend and saw that he did too.

- Are we thinking the same thing ?. - He said as he stopped the car and the seat belt is loose.

Jt nodded.

- Many memories…

- So many...

Jt ran his hand over his face. He was visibly excited.

They left the car and were walking the few meters that separated them from the house. They went into the garden and were walking toward the door classic bright red.

Jt went setting in every detail. In the yellow color of the woods, that made her so special in all the houses on the street, and had been one of the things that her mother liked, when they bought; the wooden shutters of black color and its perfect symmetry, something that his father loved ...

He sighed when they arrived and looking at Vincent, who nodded, rang the bell. Immediately they heard hurried footsteps were heading there.

The door opened and a tall, very thin, freckled face and almost the same age, appeared in the doorway.

He smiled when he saw Jt and hugged him. He hugged him back ... and back slaps.

- Good to see you Dylan .- he said.

- Me too, but I would have liked it to be otherwise ... .- he told Jt.

They separated and Jt, looked at Vincent.

- Do you remember Vinny?

- Yes, yes, and more after your return to life ... .- he held out his hand and shook it effusively. Could tell they was happy to see them, but also saw that there was sadness in his voice -. As you will understand, it was a subject much discussed by my uncles ...

Vincent nodded. Dylan knew since they started coming to spend the summer at home. Julia's Family, Jt's mothers, was all Boston and had met many times with him in the city night.

- But, come; your mother takes around an hour ago by the Praetorian Guard of the Forbes family. Your aunts, and there is no way that the loose and you know, the "love" that she has them ...

Jt nodded, smiling.

They entered the hall of the house and noticed Vincent, a quick glance, everything was just like the last time he was there, more than 15 years ago. Each piece of furniture, every carpet, every picture, all the same and in the same place.

The room was on the right as one entered, the stairs in front and Theodore's office to the left. At that time, the two sliding doors giving access to it, were closed and yes, it was a novelty, because as he was, never closed. Down the hall was the kitchen and a small toilet. From the kitchen, it was acceded to the basement and backyard.

The bedroom, Julia's and a bathroom occupied the entire second floor and the attic was the Jt's,bedroom and therefore his, when they came to visit.

Dylan made them enter the room at that time, it was full of people.

Jt turned to Vincent and vocalize: "Family and close friends".

Nothing set foot in the room all turned to look there. Jt heard a lot of sighs, and within minutes, he was kissed, hugged, and squeezed together in feeling, so many times that he was unable to thank them all.

The father's family,was too effusive ... This consisted of three older sisters and two younger brothers.

With his uncles had never had any notable problem, but with his aunts, that it was another story. Too much sincerity and tactless, was what characterized and Jt came to pick them kind of icky.

The her mother's family. It was shorter It was only Julia and her sister Andrea, Dylan's mother.

Jt saw his mother sitting on the couch. As she saw them, said goodbye to the harpies and went to meet them.

He got up and ran to hug her son, Vincent remained in a discreet background.

He noticed a little on her. She was still the antithesis of his son. Small and thin, her hair was a little shorter than before and everything had turned white. Undoubtedly seeing already knew who his son looked like.

Theodore Forbes was a big, strong man who frightened alone with see him, especially if you are between 7 and 17 years and have failed an exam. He never raised his voice, but his tone when he spoke, leaving very clearly as felt - and in case argue with him used to have the last word and left no room for the reply; but along with that, Vincent always remember the facility had to motivate them to study, to which implicasen what they wanted to do and abusing it ... Julia also had that and Jt had inherited twice.

Possibly the reason that they were together was that they felt the same passion for their work, but they had the same sense of humor ... A unique sense of humor where things always said with a double intention and where laughter used to appear minutes later.

Jt was physically like him, maybe a little smaller, but his brain and his heart were his mother.

Julia loved his son and Theodore also, but had never been a ordinary parents ... Just wanted their son was well and always supported him throughout, but as they felt I had to mature, decisions take him, including being almost adopted by Keller ...

For Jt, brothers's Vincent, were his older brothers, and Vincent ... I had not palabas to say what Vincent meant to Jt when they met and everyone sensed that Vincent also because not separated from then until he took the wrong decision, he could never take.

After embracing his son, she saw Vincent and ran toward him. She hugged him as strong as Jt.

- Vinny! .- Said his name as he let go -. God, I can not still believe it's you ... .-, took him by the shoulders and looked him up and down.

Vincent was left embraced by Julia.

He said nothing more, she simply went to his sister and his nephew and said something in his ear.

Then he grabbed both his arm and took them to the office of her late husband. She opened the door and ushered them close them again as the three were inside.

- It was a relief you came here ... they were going crazy staying .- said a moment, standing at the door.

She looked at the two.

- Are you great! .- told grinning; her eyes filled with tears, but made an effort to go away.

- Sit down ... ..- led them to the leather seats under the window.

Jt forced her to sit on one of them and he took the leather his father's,chair who was very close to the big table.

- How are you mama ?. - He asked as he approached her and sat in the middle of the two, and opposite the window.

- Well ... .- he said tightly catching air. It was something that could happen, your father, long ago, that prepared me for this. From the first, almost heart attack, I had assumed ... .- she crossed her legs and smiled -. He died doing what he loved best, teach ...

- No samples found gave wrong that day ...

Julia shook her head side to side.

- Not…. He was fine when he left ... .- sighed -. Had a staff meeting and went before me ... Normally we were both together ... - stroked his son's knee. Julius ...-. She closed her eyes and smiled. ... Jt. Still hard for me to call you that ..

He nodded.

- I know mom, I know ... .- he puts his hand over hers.

- I have made you come here to get out of that nest ... .- she looked toward the door. Because there's something I have to tell you ... Your father and I, we bought an apartment near the university a few months ago ...

Jt raised his eyebrows in surprise.

- I did not know anything…

- No need you to know ... .- sighed -. Anyway, I'm moving there as soon as all this is over ... .- she looked around -. All this, the house and the content is yours ... So your father and I decided long ago ... - she smiled -. I'll stay only things that bring me good memories ... .- she turned around and looked at the large table presiding the room. For example, that wooden box ...

The two young men looked out there and saw it. A box of light wood, with small drawings in the form of low relief with geometric motifs.

- The box that you brought from your trip to Rome? .- He asked his son, surprised.

She nodded.

- Yes ... there have been many years of leave messages there ... .- she looked back at Jt -. Everything is arranged in the testament ... He has left something to your cousins, but nothing more ...

Some other, I know that will rage, because they were handing the of your grandmother, but I do not care ..

- Mama, I do not need the Grandma's dishes .. .- told him staring at the walls of the office. Shelves full of books fills everything .. No need the grandmother, but never would shed any of those books ... pieces of the soul of his parents and perhaps his own, were scattered in them.

- Then you sell it ... Besides who knows if your future Mrs. Forbes might be interested? .- she winked, as he said it.

Jt bowed his head, and Vincent coughed.

Julia took a deep breath smiling.

- I see something happens here.

Jt licked his lips and rolled up his sleeves. It was not for less ...

- I was dating a girl a season ... nothing important. - He turned to Vincent ... .but he has married and is expecting twins - his friend realized he wanted to change the subject.

She grinned looking at Vincent.

- I'm glad Vinny! you deserve it ... and as for you ..- went to his son quickly -. You did not tell us anything ...

- It was not important ..

Vincent snorted, what he told Julia that was not exactly true.

- Yet it is rare that your father did not realize ... He had a sixth sense with you .- said to him.

- Mom, do not talk nonsense.

- No nonsense ... When we leave alone in NY was interested in knowing how you would from a distance ... and followed him always doing ..

She stood and crossed his arms

- Theodore knew that something was wrong with you, all those years when Vincent was given up for dead ...

Jt was not expecting.

- What are you saying?

Julia looked at Vincent before speaking.

- When we heard you were dead, Jt came to live here, a few weeks ... was broken. - His son, hear her, bowed his head.

- Mom, he already knows it ...

- Yes, but what he does not know, is during that time you were asleep on the living room couch ... virtually no set foot on your room ..

Vincent put his hands in the pockets of his pants and looked at his friend, who was still with his head down.

- When he returned to NY we were very worried about him ... but, surprise! .. When he returned a month later ... everything had changed ... he stayed in his room. Your father, whom he did not miss anything, he was always telling me since then that you spent too much money to live you alone ..

Jt raised his head quickly.

- How does he know that?

Julia smiled.

- Your father was always aware of you although ... it can not seem to give the impression that we leave you out in the Keller's home, but I just knew it was the best that could happen to you. They teach you another way of life different from two crazy science ..

She took Vincent.

- I can never thank you enough ... .- she said.

Vincent smiled remembering those years. Very happy years, with all his family present.

- We made happy ... imagine what would have become of me without him ...

Julia pulled away.

- The fact is that when we see you on the news ... I was in the kitchen and started screaming ... your father came running worried and I can only indicating that see television ... He stood still watching and only said one thing: "It is good to know, that taking into account that there were two, also not spending so much ".. and left the kitchen, leaving me freeze, at what he was insinuating ... I always thought that Julius hid us something with that obsession we left a hotel , every time we went to see you ... the famous shared apartment was nothing other than the place where he hid you ... "

She looked at the two.

- You were together all that time ...

Vincent nodded.

- It's very complicated to explain, but if it had not been for him ... I ...

Julia took his arm and then took her son. He started walking leaving him talking to Vincent.

- I guess what amnesia was not true.

- One part yes ... ..

- No need to tell me more ... I know both very well, and I know that if it happened, would be very powerful reasons ... I know you always do the right thing. - He took air strength.- and now let's go back to that nest of vipers ... We have to comply with the protocol ...

Jt grinned and nodded as they opened the door.


Ethan descended the stairs slowly. He closed the trapdoor as he could. Did not want to give an advantage to anyone who could hide in the shadows ... I was sure of being alone, but not by others to be cautious and also thought smiling, he could see in the dark ...

He came to what appeared to be the basement of the building. The low ceiling prevented him from walking normally. It was not a problem to keep track of her.

The floor was wood, but could see that beneath the slats was stone. Unpolished stone. It was a rectangular space of just over 15 square meters, with walls lined also with dark wood slats ...

He went to one where the trail Lynn was clearer. As he walked in that direction, he could see it was filled with rodent droppings and saw a lot of curious yellow eyes, who followed him.

Why that be had taken her there? I did not understand anything ... Suddenly, something crossed his mind.

What if it was a trap? ... What if a handkerchief was a lure to bring her up there, and there was more than curious eyes watched? .. He denied, shaking his head vigorously ... It was quite impossible. He would know it.

He considered the idea of leaving, for a few seconds, but then undone. His senses could not deceive him.

He kept looking for something to give him a clue where ellestaba. He looked around the walls and in the northeast corner of the room saw something that caught his attention. One of the wooden panels on the north wall was moved. He tried to remove carefully and saw that it was not a single panel, but seven or eight together, with each other. He turned and saw a descending ramp.

The ramp was of the same stone, the basement floor.

Without thinking he started down.

He had just dropped a couple of meters when he reached a tunnel covered with green and white floor tiles . Subway tiles appeared, but noticed that the walls were rock hard, without any decoration.

Suddenly all your senses focused on one thing. Just notice her, it was close He could feel her intense smell and could almost feel the softness of the skin of her arm, her neck.

He walked forward along the tunnel. Every step he felt she was closer ... Could be alone hidden, for that animal at one those tunnels? He could not believe it, but, on the other hand, where he could live, something so terrifying? ..

The tunnel down for a few meters, to ascend and descend again a couple more times, until he came to the entrance of forging a long bridge.

He was astonished to see it ... what did that down there? He leaned over the railing and saw that had incredible depth to the bottom "maybe it is the right way to get to hell," he thought.

Still he is looking at the abyss, when he caught movement across the bridge. He turned and saw Lynn, she got into a tunnel. In a blink he had crossed to the other side, following her.

One thought occupied his mind. And he had her.

He got into the tunnel where she just walked in, expecting to see her away but did not see her.. How was it possible, if you had not spent enough time, so she reached the curve? ... He closed his eyes and continued feeling her

He took the ramp on the right at the next intersection and saw the fleeting movement of a dress folding the next bend He went behind his desire without realizing that he was moving into the depths of the tunnels.

Right at the bottom, next to a door carved into the rock, he saw her. Leaning against the stone wall with her hands covering her face.

At that time, a metallic clink began to be heard. At first the gale blowing, barely made it audible, but gradually, was increasing in intensity.

The tinkling became more sharp and fast, while Ethan, noticed that other sounds equally acute, joined it..

The room produced a very particular echo and everything was multiplied by 100. Ethan had to make an effort to concentrate. His ultrasensitive senses were beginning to feel overwhelmed by the noise that riveting inside him like a knife. He transformed himself, without realizing.

Lynn saw that he turned, looked at him and pierced the door carved into the rock at his side.

He tried to ignore the pain produced this cacophony that threatened to drive him crazy, and to go for it, when he felt something digging into his back.

He turned in time to see the red plume a tranquilizer dart on his shoulder. He looked up and could see over the place through which he had entered, a series of arches that reached the high stone ceiling, and the highest, two men with pistols pointed darts.

He was going to jump for them, but the noise again become stronger, and the tenth of a second he lost in the confusion that followed the crescendo, made two darts nailed in his chest and one of his legs. But still, he knew, he had the strength to jump on them and kill them, before he lost track of her.

But he could not, because he felt that something big bore down on him in the same place where Lynn was gone ... He rummaged just in time to fend off his attacker. A roar escaped his throat while another escaped his attacker's throat.

He knew without seeing it well, it was none other than the incredible being who had taken her. The two fell to the ground. He opened his mouth baring his fangs and attempt to bite him in the neck, paralyzing him for. The bite failed because his prey could escape in time, but continued to attack.

The men who were in the upper arches had stopped throwing darts. Ethan imagined they did not want to hurt the animal that was struggling.

The animal hit him hard in the stomach and saw a gash where he felt the blow. He smiled. It would be cured in seconds. shirt and ripped jacket to his adversary, saw as the wound is closed while going to the triumphant gesture.

- You can never me. - He said with guttural and deep, from the beast.-. I've never had a hunting trophy on the wall, I think you're the first ... .- as he said that the scar was closed.

He was prepared to jump on Vincent, who was waiting with the prepared claws, baring his powerful tusks.

But then he felt her near again, being close, and turned in time to see her , walk with a transparent chiffon long dress. The beast held his breath ..

It was an angel, wonderful and disturbing ... and he wanted her with an ardor that devoured inside.

Animal forgot and went to meet him. The noise was pounding his brain ... but no longer felt. He only saw her. Only, he felt her.

Lynn went to him slowly, watching as slowly, the man returned to take control .. "That's ... Well ... let go tranquilizer doing their job ..." She thought .

When they arrived at each other ... Ethan smiled and touched her face slowly, she fixed her blue eyes on him slanted eyes. They said nothing. He bent his head to kiss her and she did not pull away.

At the precise moment Ethan's lips were about to touch the Lynn hers had a moment of weakness, because he felt he wanted to kiss her. His eyes turned yellow and his whole body shook, but then, the image of Vincent reading to children and their looks when he found reading Wuthering Heights, made could resist the desire.

He closed his eyes and opened them again became blue ... She raised her right arm all she could and brought it down hard on his neck, sticking a syringe with twice the dose of darts.

Ethan could not do anything because was not expecting ... The noise had destabilized, darts had made him lose reflexes, small fight with Vincent entrusted and the arrival from her, had made him vulnerable ...

A few seconds to feel the prick her legs failed her neck and fell to his knees. She grabbed Lynn's legs, but it was useless, he had no strength ... Before Vincent came to her, he was already lying on the ground completely unconscious.

- Without him, we have practically nothing ... .- he said Dana when he had finished telling everything


She sat on the bed of Rober's bed, covered only by savannah .Bob moon was at her side, lying, stroking her bare back.

That was the place where he had left after entering it in the house, when she had fainted. When he realized it was okay, let it rest for a while. He sat inthe chair he used to read at night, when he could, and just watch her sleep and woke to expect.

When he did, he sat on the bed at once. Robert realized he did not know where he was. He went to her quickly.

- Calm calm! I'm ... you're home ... . - She hugged her while, her face with her hands was covered and began to mourn.

- You can not imagine what they have been these months ..- she said, sobbing, hugging him tightly.

- Tell me ... - said, as he stroked his dark hair then -. Tell me slowly ... and do not be afraid, I'm here with you ...

She took a deep breath and still pressed closer to him.

Bob, let it calm down and that was gradually stopped noticing that mourn.

A few minutes later Dana was released from his arms and wiped his face. Bob offered him a glass of water that was on the nightstand. He had left him there while he slept. She accepted it pleased. He drank the whole glass and asked for more. He smiled and refilled it.

- Thank you. - She said she handed back the glass. He left on the table and then, sighing, began stroking her face.

- It starts where you want ... Or if you want to sleep ... no problem. - He whispered slowly.

She took her hand and pressed closer to her face.

- You better tell it all ... I need him out ...

He nodded.

Dana bit her lip and cleared her throat. Then, slowly, she rose from the bed. She needed some distance to tell him everything.

- I impersonated an FBI agent during most of the time spent in Washington ... - she said, walking toward the window

Bob just looked at her without saying anything ...

I knew her for some time and was relatively easy to go home and get their credentials. I dyed my hair red and I got contact lenses ... They were so eager to help and to show that everything was transparency, which did not bother to check whether it was a real FBI agent. To see identification, they simply had ... But I knew that things could be complicated ...- turned -. Now, after getting this.- said backpack resting on the floor of the room against the wall -. I finished ... I was just, I will not go back ... Nothing keeps me there ... and I just want to be with you ... .- sat back down on the bed and hugged him resting his head on his chest-. A man helped me get all the information I have ... I was the one who told him everything, and forcing him to get me there, to get to copy entire databases of the Hospital and everything surrounding that hospital ... I had to kill one of the security men with your magical blisters ... and at the end when we were almost at the trees ... shot him twice and killed him ... "

Bob, to hear her, feared collapse again, but she did not. She just stood close to him ...

- "While I fled ..- she said a few seconds later -. I only had in mind, that Peter had died because of me ... and I realized I could not bear the thought of dying without seeing you again ... Robert.- raised the head and looked into his eyes -. I want to grow old with you…. I know I can not promise anything ... and there is still a lot to fight, but we may have an opportunity ... and if not ... I want to die by your side ... "

Bob took her face in his hands and staring in the eyes said:

- Oh Dana! Dana! For the first time in years, I want you all over. I want a future with you, and I'm afraid of losing, losing to Mark, Cat, children ... Until to Vincent ...

Dana smiled and kissed him.

- You get old, Bob Reynolds ...

- Same Mark told me ... .- said smiling back -. I want to die in many years ... and that you're with me when that happens.

He kissed her, anxious to make it clear what he felt for her

She returned it with equal intensity.

They turned a moment, each other and turned to look at the eyes. They are just light a flame that had long been off.

Dana picked up her black sweater over her bottom and pulled it over her head.

He did not need that should tell no more.

They made love all night ... For a long time they were not together, but then their bodies recalled the other and everything flowed.

When they decided to rest, Dana was telling him in detail everything she had learned and now, as Bob stroked her back, she made it clear that without Peter would be very difficult to prove anything.

- The files has no name and IP addresses can not be traced, Peter told me ... It will be difficult for us to link with them. I guess to recognize him as your employee will erase any record of him ...

Bob got up and sat beside her. They kissed.

- Do not worry, we will find the way ... .- he bowed his head, grabbed her hand and squeezed -. He has appeared an agent of Scotland Yard ... so looks have always been attentive to what my family in London sent them, unofficially, of course, but they have been ... and now, perhaps, after the affair of Baker, we can do something against them ...

Dana's eyes widened.

- Scotland Yard? I can not believe ... that's fantastic ..- said smiling frankly surprised.

Bob smiled at once, but calmed down a bit.

- Well, it's something important, but the people there, have much power, and yet we can not launch from the rooftops.

Dana nodded.

- I think Peter told me something determines funding came from London ...

- Can be…. Now we just have to try it ...

He turned and grabbed the nightstand, his watch.

- It is still early to call a meeting ... but we have to tell them everything ... when before ... They are ready, sure they find out that Peter was not alone in this.

Dana nodded. She was sure of it.

Bob turned to leave, the clock on the nightstand, and turned toward her . He smiled, noting, still in her cheeks, the blush of her last orgasm. He stroked her neck.

- You are tired…. You want to sleep. - he said to her.

She walked over and patted his lips, as she said, smiling:

- No ... I do not want to sleep.


Cat awoke from a dream in which she saw herself, mounted on a boat and surrounded by people who did not know, navigating a sea covered in fog, when he heard the sound of her cell phone. Had just received a message. She quickly got up thinking it was Vincent.

She checked the time. It was just the 4 am. An hour a bit strange to send messages. She lit the light of her bedside and read it.

"Catherine, I'm Jacob, the bird is in the cage. Everything went well"

Cat's hand went to her mouth. Ethan had been captured!

They had done it. He leaned back in his bed with the phone in hand, thinking of the consequences of this. It could go right or go very wrong. She did not want imagine what would be a horde of beasts like him, were there to look ... A horror. She closed her eyes. Could he really be of use? ... she was not so clear as Vincent.

He looked back at the time, worried. She shrugged and decided that it should send as soon as possible. If he was asleep, she would read in the morning upon waking ... and if he was awake ...

She pressed the button and forwarded it.

Vincent was lying on his bed when he was to spend the weekend at the home of Forbes, he stared at the ceiling of the room. He had tried to sleep but it was useless. He could not stop thinking about two things. How they would have gone to Vincent and others trying to catch Ethan ... and his wife.

The one was concerned, the other was pure longing.

He sensed that if they had not called him, was that everything was ongoing, and that children and she were good but it was hard not having her around. He was so accustomed to sleeping on her side now, that if she was not there with him, it was as if he lacked something of himself.

He closed his eyes imagining her in bed, lying on hm side sleeping peacefully. He smiled. He could also imagine, lying on her side, looking him and completely naked. Not…. better to leave it ... This was no time ... He had to attend a funeral ...

He sighed and stood, he, on his side. Jt was sleeping, quiet, right in front of him.

He had to get some sleep or you going to do very long night.

It had been just over five minutes since he had thought the latter, when a sharp sound made him sit up. His phone.

He picked it up from the table where he had left off, right next to the bed.

They could only be them saying something about Ethan. He read it, was Catherine and I was right, it was about Ethan. They even had caught!

- Good! .- He shouted without realizing it. He looked at the bed where his friend was asleep and did not see movement.

He read the message ... Then he came another, quickly turned off the sound, looking back at Jt. Nothing, everything quiet.

"I imagine you'll be asleep ... Just tell you that I really miss you and love you"

Vincent quickly replied ..

"I'm awake. I can not sleep without you next to me!

He waited a bit and then saw Cat, again wrote.

"I can not sleep without you ... They have caught Ethan. You know what can cause all this, right?

He answered.

"Yes, I know, but trust not regret. I am convinced that we end up helping to find Stanley and others. Remember that we have the advantage of Lynn"

"Lynn ... but she may also suffer a lot. You know, how it works, this kind of relationship between beasts"

Vincent smiled. Noticed that Cat never forget what Tori.

"Not so bad, Cat, but we will have a considerable advantage with Lynn on our side.

"It may be so .("

"Do not think Tori, thinking, Lynn use, to handle"

"Okay, I'll try ... I just hope nothing happens to her.

How was everything? ¿Jt? "

Vincent settled down, better in bed.

"Okay ... Sad, like his mother but is normal"

"Yes it is"

"How are you?

"Well ... I've been in the morning with Evan in the hospital for some tests to make me ... .."

Vincent frowned.

"Do you really have been all day at home?

Cat took to answer.

"Cat?"

"Yes.."

Vincent shook his head from side to side.

"I do not believe you. Then I'll call Mark to confirm me"

Cat exhaled loudly.

"Okay, okay, I went out to do one thing ... but was little time .. When you come back you what I tell all ... But I'm fine ... that's what matters."

"It's impossible that you're quiet"

"You know me"

Vincent stared at the ceiling for a moment and closed his eyes. I'd give anything to be with her ... .jt needed him but he needed her ... so much that came to scare.

"Vincent ..."

Cat had sent him another message.

"Tell me.."

"I think we sleep ..."

"Yeah ... but before ... tell me you're wearing," he wrote smiling.

Cat in bed laughed. She looked at herself ... flannel pajamas, with latest buttons undone.

"Nothing and you"

Vincent also laughed.

"Nothing…." .- He wrote.

"Oh!"

Vincent phone stuck to his chest when he heard Jt was moving in bed. Wait a few seconds and again wrote.

"Do you think that when I come back, we can ... you know?"

Cat shrugged reading it.

"I do not know ... Then I'll ask him ... I guess if we are careful ..."

Vincent nodded.

"We'll have ... I miss you so much" ..

- What the hell are you doing? - Jt asked then, turning on the light.

Vincent closed his eyes.

- Nothing, could not sleep, Cat either.

Jt smiled.

- I see ... .- he put his glasses. Sending them text messages late into night ... oh! How cute!

- Wait ... - he said somewhat embarrassed that he had caught. They had come to a funeral, maybe it was not the time for messages -. I say goodbye now.

"Cat, I must leave you ... I just wake Jt, uppps"

Cat laughed heartily.

"Okay do not worry ... you ... you know ... I'll try to get some sleep ... I love you"

"I love you too ... sweet dreams!"

Cat stood for a while watching the last message from her husband.

- Sweet Dreams. - said loudly to the phone. She left it with a sigh above the table and covering her up to her neck, she tried to sleep ... Trusting in her dream had a Vincent naked beside her.

Jt leaned against the headboard of the bed.

- Something has happened?. .- He asked worried.

Vincent was placed on its side.

- No….

Jt stared.

- There are things you have not told me, right?

Vincent looked down and cleared his throat.

- Occasional but I swear that very few. - He said effusively latter -. What has happened with the Consortium I've told you everything, and Murray, and of the bastard that he wants to take my children. - his blood boiling just thinking -. What we have not told you is that, can hurt many innocent people ...

His friend nodded.

- It has to do with that weird blood sample that gave me Cat, a few months ago ...

Vincent thought for a few seconds but in the end, nodded.

- Yes ... it has to do with it ... .- he sat on the bed -. I swear if I could I would tell you everything, but we can not ... for now ...

Jt shook his head from side to side.

- Do not worry…. We all have secrets ..

Vincent was astonished.

- Do you have secrets? .- he thought of the behavior so rare that his friend had in recent days ...

Jt stood still staring straight ahead. If he wanted them to be honest with him, he would have to be with them.

He sighed and began to speak.

- After Gabe abducts Cat, I took some locators that Mark gave me the FBI and placed in your mobile ... I knew perfectly well where you were going when you went through the night, those infamous days when you were away from Catherine ..

- Jt, by God! . - Vincent's face with her hands over her -. That is why you threw me those looks ...

His friend nodded.

- What I was pissed off that you lied to me ... and I will spend my not you was mum. - He pursed his lips, unable to avoid the anger that oozed each of his words -. I followed all your movements since then ... and I know that the day you brought me that sample, were coming from a place that can not exist ... because according to the locator you were standing in the middle of 4th Avenue ... and I think it's impossible ...

Vincent drove hard the air from his lungs.

- I can not tell you….

- Secrets and more secrets ... is normal, I also had mine. Do not you think ...? - He rose from the bed -. I'm thirsty.

He went to the dormer window facing west and opened a small fridge underneath.

- Mom, I love you ... .- He pulled two beers -. You want one?

Vincent nodded.

He opened them and gave it, then sat back down on the bed.

- Bob knew long ago started saying some people.- Vincent after taking a sip of his beer -. They are a fairly large group that hides the tunnels NY. A network where they join, abandoned subway tunnels, culverts, and spacious rooms excavated in the rock ... something totally amazing ..

Jt was looking at him with his mouth open.

- Are not you're lying, right?

Vincent shook his head from side to side.

- And ... Can I go see him ?. .- He asked.

Vincent shook his head again.

- No, for now ... maybe, someday ... You have to understand that I should not have told you ... Their survival depends on that few people know it ...

Jt got up from the bed and began pacing around the room.

- Wait ... .- said -. Then, they were the ones who saved Cat, when the lab collapsed ...

Vincent nodded.

- And it is, where Lynn is now ...

Jt stopped and stared.

- Tess is trying to hunt Gabe ...

Vincent suddenly expelled to hear all the beer, which he wore at that time in the mouth.

- WHAT?!

Continued ... very soon ...)
