Chapter XIV
Evan was observed himself in the mirror of his apartment in the east wing of the hospital, trying to get the hood of his tracksuit, cover him, full, face.
Although he knew that Heather was completely stoned when he arrived, did not want to risk, to recognize him. It was still too early for that.
He took off his tracksuit and put it on top of the leather sofa. He went to the dining room table and began to take stock of what it was going to be carried.
From the moment he saw Heather in that room, he realized, that his adventure was over. It was over pretending to be what he was not. He wanted to charge these unfortunate but now have to do it from outside. Get it out meant leaving him too, and the same would happen to Kevin.
Kevin.
He was having a hard time getting used to call him, for him, had always been Jeremy.
He had told him roughly who they were and they were doing. The surprise was great. An organization chasing another for nearly two centuries. Demencial.
He knew that fight against them was crazy so do not stop admiring them. And now also had Cat and Vincent.
The news that Thomas was not the biological father of Cat, was something he already knew. She found out it, seeing the files find in the hideout of Muirfield, when he helped catch Vincent. The day he died. The day he died, save them both. He also recalled that Vincent knew ... But how could that be?
He breathed deeply.
He would ask when it were in front ... and also have to ask if he would leave, to use his genetics to continue staying alive. He could not help but smile. A great question.
He hoped in the fact that sacrifice for them, he did earn points and also, that would leave the skin out, Heather, from there.
Anyway, the reunion would be very complicated. Kevin had told him that the father of Cat, one Robert Reynolds, his uncle, knew he was alive, but had told her. The reason was simple. If they had to remove it, she would not suffer twice and until to recently, did not know if I could trust him.
He closed his eyes for a moment. Sometimes it hurt like crazy. He was sure that would end up like those of Lowan, amber in perpetuity ... .the process was much slower, but it would.
He stopped in front of the table and saw all that was left above it. Small tubes and containers for samples, lined.
When he had decided to leave, he thought that he could not do it with empty hands. Had taken small samples of all the experiments to which he had access, as the samples were kept certain beasts, from Vincent, from Cat, and some other labeled with initials that had not been linked to anything or anyone.
He took one of the tubes and up to the light. Had gotten some of that sample, had long been watching Morgan was the only one who approached her and only one who could handle it ... Had not had time to study but he would. In the original container only put one thing, "R", nothing more.
He took a breath. Kevin had promised him that his family would help end all that rabble, was what they were hoping for years, but for that, he thought, was needed that could access a good laboratory.
Immediately, a name popped into his mind ... JT! Of course he could provide all that were necessary ...
What would come back to life? .. A normal life ... if he could return to a normal life ...
He shook his head vigorously from side to side ... better not think about that. Now he had to return to work and as he did, would prepare an injection of vitamins and over, with another vaccine, to re-inject tonight, taking advantage of the shift nurses ... Kevin was great distracting them ...
Could not last long this strategy, but give them time to think about how to escape with some assurance.
It took another tube on the table, reminded liquid pus from the infection, but nothing is further from reality. That was the paralyzing powerful than being integrated into the DNA of the beasts as a weapon ... .A bite and could not move, and injected into the right proportions caused the same effect ... Returned to leave it where it was caught.
White coat stood again, put everything in a briefcase, which kept under his bed and briskly, left his apartment to go to work, as did every day.
After leaving the office of Angela, Cat received a call on her mobile.
-Hello deary! .- Greeting you excited to hear his voice. She wore almost two days without seeing him and needed to hear, and other things too ... smiled, thinking that by now be satisfied with just that.
- Hi! I've missed you ... It was a shame that you have not been able to come and eat the club.
Cat sighed before answering. Tess and she got into that moment in the elevator.
- I know, but we had to go to a couple of places ...
Tess was beckoning to tell him the interview with Angela, but she refused .. vocalized a "after", before speaking with Vincent.
- It has made us very late and now I have to do some things .. We'll have something out there ...
- Where are you going? .- He asked, curious.
She smiled again, knew what he was going to say, as he knew.
- I'll go for the books of Rebecca and the cradle ...
- God! Cat ... you're obsessed with her.
She knew it.
- Yes, I am ... and I will not leave all that there ... We've already emptied almost all the other room and we caught some of the belongings died ... why I can not catch that?
Vincent, across the line, put face circumstances.
- You'll end up taking you all ... .- he warned- . I know ... you thought that's a shame ... they were her things ... I'm seeing the bed coming through the door of our new home ...
They left then to the street. Her car was parked right in front of the door.
- No ... I will not ... - she said, slightly annoyed at the same time, delighted that he knew to her so well.
Vincent gave a truce.
- Anyway ... I called you to give you good news that it may be even better.
Cat leaned against the car door while Tess went inside.
- Shoot ... - told him expectantly.
She heard like her boy laughing on the other side.
- Doc, told me that there may be a cure for me ...
Cat started screaming.
- What?!Oh my God! I can not believe it! ... How?
Tess sat already in the seat, looked at her like she was crazy.
Vincent continued.
- He told me there is a possibility, getting pure genes. The genes of which I come.
Cat, immediately, knew it.
- Your parents ...
- Yes ... my parents ... Mark has said he knows some people in the town hall and a judge who can handle this emergency ... Cat, this afternoon, late're going to Green-Wood to exhume the bodies .. would you want to come with me? ... Jt will be in charge of making the extraction of samples ... but I wish you were there ... it's not something nice ... And I feel bad for them this ... they are my parents ... - Cat felt sadness came over him.
- Do not worry I'll be there with you ... I will not let you go through this without me ... ..but, does the possibility is real? Really going to find a cure ... - she could not believe it ... did not know whether to laugh or mourn.
- Well, I think so ... but I can not assure 100% and certainly take your time ...
Cat tried to control. It was not sure ...
- Ok ... wait ... but there is hope and that's what matters ...
- Yes ... it is ... I'll call you when I know what time we have to be in the cemetery ...
- Yes ... you do ... I will come swift and fast ... I promise ... ..- took a deep breath -. I love you ... And although it can not work, I can not help but be very happy ...
He laughed again.
- I know ... I am too ... and I love you too ...
Tess from inside the car was beckoning for me to tell her what was happening.
- I have to leave you, Tess will kill me if I do not tell her everything at once ... see you later ...
- See you later ... .- he said goodbye.
Cat hung up and with a beaming smile on her face entered her car. On the way she told his partner that Vincent had told her on the phone.
Tess was a little less enthusiastic than Cat.
Jt had told him countless times, who believed to have found and countless disappointments he had suffered. Disappointments that marked Vincent for a long time. Do not want that to happen again. Neither Vincent nor Cat. Her advice to her friend was that they should still keep your feet on the ground, until it really would work.
When they arrived, parked the car in the same alley and entered. Tess turned before doing so. It had seemed that she saw something move a few feet behind them. Remained focused attention and hold waiting to see him, but nothing happened. Cat called her from the inside, she shrugged and followed.
They reached the cell Tori and powered the device. A noise behind made them jump.
- What the hell was that? - Asked Tess slightly intrigued. Cat turned but did not care.
- Sure nothing ... let's hurry, I take it all home ... want me to leave before the police station ..?
Tess ignored her and pulled out her gun.
- Wait here! I'll take a look to see if I see something ...
Cat stood at the entrance to the tunnels while Tess to what she had said. She carefully looked at the stay where they were and saw nothing strange. Not a single movement.
Tess returned a few minutes.
- I have a strange feeling at the base of the neck, as if someone was watching me.
Cat caught her arm.
- We watch every move we make ... it's impossible for anyone to follow us without our knowledge ... .- told her.
- Ok .. .- shrugged shoulders not with conviction. Okay, let's go down ...
Cat smiled and the two descended the stone slope leading to the underground.
They took the books first, taking a couple of boxes that were left empty when they had inventory. After between the two climbed the cradle and gradually they were carrying the car.
When they were all placed between the trunk and back seat, Tess turned to her friend.
- This cradle will have to send the restored; the catch is noted that the wood will not hold much, very sentimental to put yourself with it. I really do not understand why you want to bring it.
Cat shrugged and smiled.
- I do not know ... but I can not leave her there ... I feel so cold that place ...
Smiling Tess went to close the door of the lab while Cat got into her car and started the engine. She waited for her friend to sit beside her and drove toward Riverside Drive.
At the same moment, in the corridors leading off the laboratory, the trapdoor leading down to the furnace, was opened and a shadow was hoisted to standing on the stone floor. Began to walk to the cell where Tori was dead and sought, groping, the hidden spring which had seen action a Cat.
After a few minutes looking for it, found it, triggered it and saw, as the wall moved. Pushed it a little to pass without more, began to descend into the darkness, lucky that did him no light.
She left Tess at the station and headed for the house. She would wait Vincent's call to go to the cemetery, meanwhile, ordered all they had brought from underground.
Also would check the kitchen and bathrooms, the top and bottom, were left as they wanted.
Amanda had been quick and had already restored the piano and the desktop. The bed would have to wait because she had to "in situ" as it was very difficult to move.
She entered the house, as she could the crib and left the room. Later would climb up, or better, she thought, and would climb Vincent.
She was going to go for the books, when her phone started to vibrate. It was a text message from Bob.
"..Cat ... Would you want to go down to the tunnels? ... Jacob wants to give us thanks for being with them after the death of his grandfather ... .I will be from 6 pm or so ... You yourself ... you know how it goes.
Your father ... ..Bob "
Cat read it several times. She was thinking awhile.
She wanted to go, but there was a problem. Vincent could call and there was no cover. Finally he decided she would go, sure would give her time. Mark had said it would all late in the afternoon.
She removed the thin black cotton jacket she was wearing and started pulling books from the boxes, while looking for a place to put them.
She was entertaining all the time putting things and making an inspection of the works. Everything was running great ... wish that things were not so complicated and enjoy this house like any normal couple. Maybe someday again ...
At 5 ½ or so, she put back her jacket and went to the basement.
Upon entering the tunnels turned to the right and pointed the flashlight way she had when was there with his father and Stuart. She knew they were going to meet him. She was setting in detail in the little things that again she ignored.
She opened her mind and senses to all the sounds and sensations that were coming to him. To begin, she noticed she did not feel cold. Contrary to what might appear as it was in a place where the sun never came, the temperature was quite nice.
She pointed her flashlight at a wall and discovered in the bottom three ducts. He touched them and saw that they were hot. She could not imagine where would that, but of course, help to create a home in the basement of Manhattan ..
Kept walking and the next she noticed were noises; noise in the pipes, as when you hit inadvertently iron radiator, that hollow sound so characteristic. Well that was what began to hear, or rather to realize that she was hearing. At first it seemed they were simple noises when she pay attention, smiled. They were talking ... It was Morse code was. And perhaps speak of her, because when you reach an intersection, she saw a light coming from the left.
Instinctively took her gun. The voice of a young boy brought her back to keep it in the holster.
- Catherine ...- loved to her, how he had to say her name -. I am, Jacob. Jacob Wells ... I came to meet you, don't worry.
As he spoke, approached her.
- Those noises I hear ... are what I think they are? ..
The young man, dressed in a long black coat, smiled in the light of lanterns.
- You are very clever ... .Although it does not create, we have a very efficient communication system ... among other things .. We have long been living here ... .- shrugged his shoulders. Well I practically all my life .. But let's not talk here ... let me invite her to tea ... .- took her arm and invite you to follow.
Cat smiled and let go.
They walked over endless tunnels ... he bring her to places not previously seen. At last they came to a room where the wind toward you could not hear, nor your own thoughts and a place where a huge table left evidence that it was a place of celebration ... There, Jacob said, once his mother and his father danced ...
Then followed another series of tunnels where they were waving to the people who were on the way, to finally reach the top of a ladder magnificent staircase made of wrought iron. Cat could not avoid an "Oh!" when she saw her. It was beautiful. They were descending steps, beautifully crafted with floral motifs, to an intense light that distinguished below.
They came to the room where she had met the other Jacob and from there, took what should be your room.
A large bed against the wall. A wall with a beautiful bay window with stained glass, crescent-shaped; shelves full of book and a sturdy wooden table and chairs. There were separate imitating classical sculptures images, and antique decorative objects.
Had not done anything more to come, when Bob came followed by a middle-aged woman, carrying a tray with three cups of tea and some shortbread, left everything on the table and after giving to Jacob, a kiss on the cheek out, saying goodbye to each other with a lovely smile.
Bob greeted Jacob and then to Cat. A she gave him a soft kiss on her hair.
As them approached to them, the teacups, was thanking them for coming to the small funeral they did in the tunnels.
- It is hard to think that is gone. Was the soul of this place ... ..- said sorry.
- He was a great man, Jacob ... .- assured him Bob - . I had to take care of extremely difficult situations. His life became endangered sometimes because people who live here, many of them fleeing from his past life, was most important to him.
Cat could hear as she savored her spice tea.
- Your father, how about wearing it ... I think it was not in the tribute, right ?. - she asked putting her cup on the tray.
Bob and Jacob crossed his gaze for a second.
- No ... my father is not much given to large meetings and usually takes the pain alone ... been through a lot ...
Cat nodded.
- Bob told me that your mother died when you were born ... and her name was Catherine, like me ...
Jacob took a while to answer
- Yes ... it is. Her name was Catherine, and very beautiful ... - he rose from the chair where he had sat down to drink tea - . This is one of the few photos I have of it ... - he approached a projection of the wall, which had exploited to create a shelf and picked up a framed photo in a beautiful silver frame. He handed it to Cat and she took it ...- was killed just after he was born.
- Who can be so cruel? ... - Cat asked, puzzled.
Jacob looked at Bob and he stared back.
- No ... It can not be ... Do not tell me they were ... - Cat could not finish the sentence.
She looked the picture of the mother of Jacob and for a moment, unable to believe what she was seeing. Her expression changed and amazement and disbelief gripped her.
She stood up, holding a hard frame, with trembling hands.
- It can not be ... This is impossible ...
Bob came to her worried, like Jacob.
When Bob took her arm, he realized that not only shook hands.
- What's wrong Cat? ... Tell me?. Please.
She looked up from the picture and looked at Jacob.
- Your mother ... is ... was ... my cousin Cathy ...
Jacob sat in one of the chairs in the room, staring at Cat. He had not said anything since then.
Bob, however, would not stop running around to another, trying to understand what was happening.
- I swear Cat, this is all new to me ... I ... I knew of your existence. - He looked at Jacob as he spoke -. ... when my father and a group of us, sent to hell, the old hospital that they had ... near where is now the Baker ... Jacob and his men helped us ... ..
- But you did not see my father ...
- No ... did not see him then ... and you know what happened next. We had a problem with Vincent, because we confuse ... but we soon realized it was a mistake ... The same Jacob took care to tell me everything and also told me that Vincent had found someone whom he loved so much, sometimes risking too much for her. So he had managed to get our attention ...
He turned to his daughter and continued talking.
- I can swear I never knew her name. One of the times I returned from London, down here to talk to Jacob and with him, and I saw you. A beautiful baby in the arms of his father ... I told him all that had happened. - he addressed Cat-. But I could never imagine you had no relationship with her.- Yes, we all know who killed her ...
- They killed Cathy ... - rose from the chair where she was, her head was spinning.
- It's very complicated Cat ... .- his father said.
Before he could continue talking Jacob approached her and grabbed her gently by the shoulders.
- Tell me everything ... .please tell me who was my mother. - Asked very seriously.
Catherine, looked at him with a lump in his throat. She sat back down. Jacob sat beside her.
Bob pulled back, leaned against one wall of the room, and prepared to listen attentively to what her daughter would tell.
At that time, Bob saw a huge shadow moving in the hallway, next to the entrance of the room. He bowed his head by way of greeting and stood there. He also wanted to hear, without Cat to see.
- First of all, .- she started saying ... want you to know that Thomas Chandler was not my real father if not Bob, here present ...mean blood ties do not exist but Thomas was my father .. He grew up me, educated me and always will be my father ... and therefore Cathy always be my cousin. All the Chandler's family is my family ..
Jacob nodded
- I guess that will be a long complicated story ... .. - said smiling slightly.
- Yes it is... - Bob said - . Cat, begin please ...
His daughter did it.
- My grandparents had 4 children ... .- began saying -. My Uncle Charles, two who died in Vietnam and my father. But my father was born when my uncle was 25 years, was married and had a daughter, Cathy ... My father was a surprise. My grandparents were married 19 years ... They had three grown children and then suddenly, when least expected my grandmother got pregnant ...
Smiled slightly.
- Had lost two children and were happy ... My parents born but just when served two years old, my grandmother died and shortly after my grandfather.
She took a deep breath.
- My uncle took control of the situation. Practically Cathy and my father grew up together. They studied the same career, the same as that his, law ... and the same that I had decided to do.
- Good thing you did not. - Bob said, smiling -. I can not imagine a lawyer ... and you're a great cop ...
Cat through him, with her eyes.
- Yes ... well ... .- she looked at Jacob -. My uncle was great with his law firm and had intended that the two would work for him, but my father got tired of his father figure. They had a great discussion, which was followed by many others and decided he did not want to work for him, took off to fend for yourself ... ..- she looked at Bob sees another -. Cathy and he kept in touch for quite some time ... even I have some photo with her when I was very young ... but every time they looked less and eventually broke off the relationship.
Jacob bowed his head, and asked.
- But ... why do you have the same name?
Cat could not help smiling.
- My uncle gave him his daughter the name of my grandmother and my father decided to do the same with her first child, the two had a Catherine in her family. He felt more right than my uncle, because he practically did not know her ...
"When Charles died, my father would not go to the funeral, was upset because no one told him he was so serious ... and when we learn that Cathy had died in the way she did ... Phew! My father happened fatal.. I remember those days like now ... I was 9 or 10 years, when it happened, but I remember my mother hug my father, while leaving the newspaper with a photo of Cathy over at the kitchen table ... was found dead on the bed in her apartment after missing months passed ... .- looked at Jacob.
- It was kidnapped, how was pregnant and kept her until she gave birth ... then killed her and took me with them.- Jacob explained.
Cat's eyes widened.
- How is it possible? And why? ...
It was Bob who spoke now.
- Because for them, Jacob, was very special.
- I do not understand ... ..- looked at his father waiting for a response.
He stood leaning against the wall and Cat noticed that occasionally threw glances toward the tunnel entrance to the room.
- It's a complicated story ... He killed her, was a known criminal who had relationship with them ... .- he said.
- So? Have not told me why ...
-The Why I can not tell you ... there are things you do not know and this affects third persons ... I can't Catherine, Do not pressure me, please ...
Cat realized that his father would not go further and did not. There would be time.
Jacob continued.
- My father found her when she had given birth ... She said, who had a son and later died in his arms. He took her to her apartment and left her in her bed after saying goodbye to her ...
- How sad! I'm sorry Jacob ...
Jacob nodded and then smiled sheepishly.
- So ... we're family? .- Said slowly and very quietly, as if unwilling to disturb.
Cat nodded.
- Yes ... we are family or almost family. ... It is absolutely amazing ... - said, then added -. Jacob, I think I would talk to your father, I also have few memories of her.
At this, the figure had remained all the time in the tunnel, walked away.
Jacob looked at Bob.
- Now a little hard ... but do not worry ... You'll meet.
- Seriously, I would. - Change of subject -. In my parents' house I have some photos of her ... I could go looking, it is more. - she looked his watch -. ... Still had time. I'll go get them now ...
She rose from her chair and walked to the door.
- Not necessary ... - Jacob said, but you could tell he wanted to see those photos.
- I want to, do not worry, I too will come to me right ... That yes ... you can accompany me to my house ...?
Bob knew that was just as stubborn than him, so he shrugged and patted him Jacob on the back.
- Believe me, will be better to do ...
He smiled and went all the room.
It was past 8pm and had not returned him calls.
He was beginning to worry. The order for the exhumation of bodies, was already signed and had to proceed. Mark's friends were so efficient that the workers were already digging up coffins.
He and Jt were in a cold white room, waiting for them to arrive with the bodies. Mark stood as witness the exhumation.
Stuart had stayed in club in case you Dana communicated.
He picked up the phone.
-Please ... Cat answer me ... ..- was not.
Jt, tried to reassure him.
- You know her ... you will be bundled with a case of last minute ..
Vincent looked at him.
- Do not bother ... I know Cat and you too ... If she said she was coming, would come despite all ... ..- picked up the phone and dialed again. Nothing.
- I'm calling Tess ... - Jt, said.
He pulled his phone from his pocket of his pants and called. At the second touch answered.
- Yes ... Jt, ... have been a long time call me today ... - said wryly.
Jt, was slightly red.
- Yeah ... I've been busy ... Tess tell me something ... - Vincent followed him staring with arms crossed -. Is Cat with you?
- No ... since she left me at the police station I know nothing from her ... Why ..?
He explained in a few words that were waiting at the cemetery. She had been with Vincent that this would call when they were there, but not picked up the phone.
- How strange! Cat was excited about the possibility that everything went well ... something has to happen for her is not there ...
- Where she was going when she said goodbye you?
- To her new home, we had caught the cradle and books ... I know nothing more from her since then ..
Then, double door to the room where the bodies were to leave, opened and Mark came out.
- Jt, can already go ... everything is ready ...
- I have to leave ... Then we talked ... - he hung up without waiting to hear.
Vincent asked before it was.
- What?
- She knows nothing ... Cat went her home and no longer has seen ...
He said that, just before crossing the gates.
Mark stayed with Vincent. They were silent for a while. At the end Vincent asked:
- How were ...?
- Do not ask things you do not want to know ..- Mark said without looking up.
He nodded. It was true I did not want to know.
He took a breath and stepped away from Mark. He returned to phone the Cat. Again nothing.
- Fuck! . - He muttered -. Fuck!
Mark turned to him.
- What the hell is wrong with you ?. - He asked.
- Cat does not pick up the phone ... Said that would be here with me. - Now starting to get very worried.
At that time Jt, left the room with the knapsack on his back.
- That's it ... .has been difficult but we already have samples .. It was a great idea that will not enter ... It was not pleasant. Am I going to the hospital to take them ?.
- Yes, we go now ... Mark, are you could call your father? ... Just in case he knows something ..
He realized at that moment that his brother in law already had the phone to your ear, and looked nodding.
- Dad, I am ... Do you know something about Cat? Vincent has been trying to contact her and is totally impossible ... .- him said.
It was a few seconds listening. His expression was changing, as, he heard what his father told him.
- Okay I'll tell him ... to go there ... - he hung up and went straight to talk to Vincent, which he had heard the whole conversation.
- He told me that he too was waiting for her. The last thing he knows is that she went home to her parents to get some things, pictures and do not know what else, but has not returned and that about two hours ago ... .He will go in the car to the house tells you to meet him there.
Jt gave him the backpack to Mark.
- Go to Sant Benjamin and give it to Dr. Paul Markus, only him, then goes to the club; if you miss you'll call and Stuart, too ... right? ... We go home, we know where it is ...
Mark nodded and they both looked at Vincent but he was already gone.
- Oh my God! -. Exclaimed Jt. Took the keys pants pocket, said goodbye to Mark and darted toward his car.
Dana put the black monkey as the previous two nights and placed his escape in his pocket she carried in her top. Not today, looked at herself in the mirror ...
Had a crazy desire to again be what it was, and leave behind that hair and that body, although he could not fail to recognize that this liked.
She had always liked the "fieldwork", he was young, it felt good ... The uploaded adrenaline she felt when her life was at danger was magnificent. Had not realized until now how much she missed it.
She opened the door of her room and into the hall. The guard round to just go through what gave a margin of 5 minutes flat, to reach the stairs.
She stuck all she could to the wall to be covered by shadows and in less than three minutes was already down the stairs to the 2nd floor where the principal's office was.
The floors for those admitted with pathologies such as Dana, had a pretty relaxed security, primarily because it posed no risk. Women, mostly with lots of money to spend, they were capable of whatever it took so long to believe that they could regain 20 years younger.
She could not deny who treated her like a queen. A room overlooking the river, with a bedroom, a living room and a bathroom ... and all tastefully decorated, all kinds of personalized attention and a program for your case led to strict professionalism, dietitians, therapists, psychologists, etc. ... Everything to leave it as new.
Dana could not help remembering Bob's voice when he said what was costing the mission, even if a dummy account, prepared by the party who was in charge of finance in London. It was also true that they would soon realize that money does not really exist. So should hurry, great hurry.
The first day, well rather the first evening was dedicated to observe everything around him, locations, directions ... it was important bearings and always know how to get to your room ... or the nearest exit.
The second and dared to leave the room monitoring the security of the area and you pass got some information. The third fell directly to the principal's office to investigate those huge files, where the idiot had boasted of having the hospital's history, including medical records that were no longer there ... .That "out there" sounded very strange.
Anyway, she was a very cautious woman who knew when she should keep their distance and did not trust too stupid appearance of the gentleman in question, and as read dossiers of Helen Baker and Adam, had one eye on the door and the hand in a wonderfully sharp letter opener that was found in the desk.
With what counted was not to have to go back ... That was dangerous, but she would.
Then follow her original plan, try to reach the top floor, wanted to know why your doctor climbed there everyday accompanied by a security guard and then down, accompanied by another. What kept there for having to relay?
While still thinking about all this, he came to the office door. Had been fixed the second day security cameras let many free slots and many shades uncovered. She was sure that these models do not have infrared vision ... anyway had to take risks and for now, things had gone well.
Forced the door with little trouble and went inside the office. She pulled a small flashlight and began to search the archives ... she had no time to lose.
Possibly not find anything. It was unthinkable that had any reference to Rebecca. She had died a lot of years, did not understand that they had asked her to find this dossier ... unless of course, there was something that you had not counted and knowing Bob, sure it was.
Began looking in alphabetical order but found nothing. Closed the filing of the R and pulled back to see the whole office. It had to be a very old file.
She smiled ...She had found it. She glanced at the door and saw nothing through the rough crystal. He walked slowly toward a small wooden drawers. Each drawer would be 80 centimeters wide and 60 deep and about 6 tall.
It had all the earmarks of having many years. Built sure when yet people worried that the furnishings were beautiful, not only practical.
It was opening the drawers one by one and smiled again ... were worn red folders with names on the back. It was taking them out one by one ... until just open the third drawer she found it.
"Rebecca Reynolds ..."
She was shocked when she realized that occupied the whole of the drawer.
She pulled it out carefully and put it on the the hell was that!
When she was about to open it, saw from the corner of the eye an oscillating light reflected on the glass of the door. She closed the drawer that had just opened and threw himself down with the dossier hidden by the huge table who presided at the office.
She heard the guard checked the door. Good thing had bothered to put the lock on the inside.
He watched for a few seconds eternal flashlight pointing to the inside and then as the light slowly, was fading.

She watched for a few seconds eternal flashlight pointing to the inside and then as the light slowly, was fading.
She stayed there. She sat on the floor and placed in front of her the thick dossier. Opened it and began to read the elegant and fine letter which had been written.
When only takes about 4 pages realized the enormity of what she was reading and knew she must make copies
Placed them in pairs and was taking pictures ... Reached 10 minutes after the last. 154 pages, numbered perfectly ... took the photo.
She take a last look at the last page of the file and heartbroken, again ... While at the pictures, had been there a few times ... how could they have been so bastards! ... Do not want to think about Bob reading, or Stuart ... Oh my God Stuart! .. And Cat ! ... this was a real bomb.
Keep everything and after checking that no one was left the office, made her way to the stairs that lead to the West Wing ... had to access the top floor.
As she climbed the stairs something caught her attention. For the windows facing the street could see the goods issue, something made him set ... A movement, no, three movements ... .Three men dressed in black with what looked like backpacks had jumped high security fence and deeper into the night ... Beasts ... where the hell would you go?
She let it run for now. She climbed to the top floor and stuck to the door. Did not know she was going to find, so took a deep breath, closed her eyes and pushed slowly. The door opened smoothly.
She pulled her head a little and saw that overlooked a corridor, to the side, turned to the right and the other left. There were no cameras.
It was dimly lit and there was nobody. She left and began to tread carefully, so I knew about the plans for the hospita, on the left had to be the elevator and right ... she was going to find out.
Was walking slowly, when she reached the corner, leaned slightly and saw a door at the back and a guard arming standing before her. There was nothing more, nor anyone else.
Was thinking how to get rid of stored there when the door opened and the manager came out. He stood standing in the doorway and said goodbye to someone. Dana could hear the name and had to be silenced ... could not be true.
Heard later as the door closed and steps were to her. She began to run and came to the door to the stairs before they gave around the corner.
She closed gently, leaned on it and let your breathing to relax. She could not believe it.
Started down the stairs thinking how the hell she was doing it. For what seemed, not only Kevin was out, accompanied from the hospital.
Upon arrival knew she was not there. He did not hear her heartbeat.
Anyway, went inside the house and tried to track her movements. After a few seconds, he could feel her, entering the basement. He went downstairs and felt like she had been rummaging through a pile of boxes.
He followed her as she turned up the stairs and out into the street to her car.
Just at that time Bob and Jt, each with their car.
He approached the Mustang, while they parked. He turned back to Cat and realized that he could no longer tracking it.
Something was blocking the same way that Mark had done when he got in the car, after shooting the person who had attacked JT ...
Someone wearing a gem, had taken Cat. It had taken her and made sure that Vincent could not follow.
- Here I take ... - told to Jt and Bob, who had approached -. I can't continue tracking. Whoever did, wearing a gem ...
- A Gem! If you have been Gabe's have taken the Consortium ... but I do not understand, Cat was on notice that they could go for her. - said Jt.
Bob then intervened. His face contorted with concern.
- It's my fault ... Cat had discovered something that had left so amazed that she forgot his own safety. She said goodbye to me to come to the house of their fathers ... did hastily and without thinking, sure ...
Vincent looked at him with anger reflected in his eyes.
- I often think that what worst that could have happened to Cat and me, is you. - Was to him quickly and was about to grab the neck, for the second time, when Jt stopped him.
- Vincent! Now the bad are others ... We have to find and the more better. - Said while clutching. Vincent was controlled.
His eyes were still yellow when stopped looking at his father in law. He turned slowly.
- Start a search her ... I will do on my own ... And if you need to enter that damn hospital I swear I will. Telling Stuart ... if he loves me, looking me ...
And before Jt could start talking, he was gone again.
- Well, at least we have a site about where to look ... .- Jt said with such certainty
-Where? - Asked Bob.
- I do not think I'm wrong if I say that Vincent is about to come at this time Gabe's apartment ...
And he was right.
Evan had asked to Kevin to come down to look tissue, two corpses, which were in the chamber. It was vital that they take samples because they were part of the special cocktail that were injecting Heather.
When you leave, if they did, they would have to deal with the possible side effects of this and had to know, against which they were fighting.
Enter the chamber had always given respect.
There was extracted tissues of many corpses and never was nice.
He passed the first columns at the numbers on the doors and against the list in which each number had its corresponding name. The number 22014- Tory Windsor ... And 78011- Helen Windsor.
While looking at the list, he saw a name that made him stop ... 43014-Sam Langdon ... Dana's husband ...
He could not help thinking how awful it all was, but could not afford to waste time ... had to take what they had sought and going away from there.
Furthermore, the list of matches, saved by Dr. Schneider in his office. He was the head doctor and he alone had access to it. He must return it before he returned from his meeting with the council.
He had taken when he left the test reports all day above table ... lots of pages.
There were only about 10 minutes.
At that time he found the door of Tori. He opened it and pulled out the tray with the corpse. Stared a moment the white sheet covering her. He disliked remove those sheets, never knew what was going to find underneath.
He took a breath and did. The red hair of the girl stood greatly in contrast to her pale skin. It gave the impression that he is asleep ... but it was not ... He shook his head from side to side ... What a waste of womanl! he thought up a little the savannah and saw that practically had not been touched.
Took the packages and took a sample of hair, nails and traces of saliva if any ... He keep everything in a clear plastic envelope and put a T.
He take a last look before putting on the savannah, put back the body in place and sealed.
He kept looking for the door of the mother ... When he found her he proceeded same, except that it was much more unpleasant. The body had already been utlizado a few times and was in a rather bad condition ... He covered it and closed the door quickly.
He climbed to the first floor and went at top speed Schneider's office. Leave the list in the drawer, trying that everything was as it had found and headed for the door. As he left he almost collides with him.
- We just leaving the reports on the table .- told improvising.
The chief-doctor was deeply absorbed in his thoughts and barely noticed him, he just nodded and closed the door of his office as he entered.
Kevin smiled and reached for the elevator that led him to the floor of his apartment.
Upon entering, took samples from his pocket and put them in the bottom of your desktop. He washed his hands and went down to dinner when he heard the sound of the phone that kept behind the headboard of his bed. It was after him.
Nothing hook heard the voice of his uncle.
- Kevin ...
- Yes .. Tell me what happens? You should call me ...
- I know ... but we have a problem ...
Kevin sat on the bed.
- What problem?
Bob took a few seconds to answer.
- Cat has disappeared ... believe that Gabe has her, but we are not sure ...
Kevin turned to get out of bed and started walking around the room while her hand to her head wearing.
- Bastard ... We should have killed ... God! Wait till I tell it to Evan ...
- No ... do not tell, for now ... You have to find out if she's there ... Vincent just go to his loft and has not found anything ... Maybe he has contacted her for her sister and she has agreed to something ..
- Or simply, he has led her ... I'll take a turn around there if I hear or see something ... I'll try to pump something to Morgan or admissions girls are discrete but with the right finesse, you can always get something ...
- Thank you ... I know you are very busy with Heather, but we can not allow them to have a Cat ...
Kevin thought for a moment.
- Uncle Bob ... just one more question ... .. - consisted say it -. If things get ugly and I have to choose ...
Bob immediately answered.
- Need I tell you?
- No, you do not ... - Said shaking his head -. Fuck! . - Exclaimed -. ... Okay ... I leave ... I will call you as soon as I know something.
He hung up ... did not want to think. He left his room, would go to dinner and investigate, but then I would go to help, Evan, with Heather ..
Bob went down to the tunnels as he heard, like Kevin, swore by active and passive that there was no Cat. He had reached the same boss of the hospital and was very clear that they knew nothing about her.
At this point and after all that, they knew that was Gabe. Vincent and Stuart had gone out to see if they could track him but it was impossible, prevented the gem.
Mark, using the surveillance program FBI had found Gabe's car, parked in the south, near Battery Park. The two beasts had just go there. It had been difficult to persuade Vincent that they had to work together but in the end, Stuart, had. Getting into his head.
Jt and Tess had taken the car and were touring hotels and pensions to see if by chance, was hiding in one of them.
When Bob saw that things look bad, it was decided to seek help elsewhere.
He rushed out of the club, he headed to the house of Cat, and went into the tunnels. He had to ask for help at all sites as possible.
It came just to see how Vincent walked away from the central chamber. He called him before he left.
- Vincent !, I need your help, my daughter, Cat, has disappeared ...
He felt like he took air. He knew that those words did much damage. He did not turn. The other people who were in the room came from there and left them alone.
Bob continued.
- I know I do not ever want to get into this ... but please, I beg ... help me to find her ...
- We do not want more problems ... .- he said in his deep voice -. These people are very dangerous ... I know very well ... and have much to protect ...
Bob went to him just when Vincent turned around. Although he knew what he was going to find, always did the same to see it. The impression took her breath away.
He cleared his throat before speaking. He watched him stabbing him blue eyes.
- We've looked at all the places where he could be and are now touring the city flying blind ... we need your ears ... please ... her husband, Vincent, is going crazy ...
When he heard the name of the husband of Cat, seemed to react. His expression ceased to be so hard.
- Is called Vincent, like me? - He went to one of the chairs and sat -. And she is Catherine Chandler ... - He covered his face with his huge hands. The memories of a life that disappeared, returned with all its pain to pierce his soul.
Bob returned to approach him.
- Yes ... I know it's unbelievable, I know ... but please, do not let history to repeat ... you heard that she is family ... your son's family...
Vincent looked at him with glazed eyes. They were a few seconds of silence at the end, he got up and slowly nodded.
- Okay ... I will ... He approached a door and shouted a name.
- Devin!
Immediately a man of similar age to Bob, appeared in the room.
- Robert, this is my brother ... Jacob's son... - then headed to Devin -. He is ... a friend who has a big problem. - He approached his brother and took of the shoulder -. Let's get in touch with everyone ... We have to find someone ...
Tess got home when was morning and the first thing he saw were the pictures with Catwhich had in the cabinet of the room. She sighed ... it was a very hard night.
A quick shower would and would go looking for her. They knew what they meant that bastard and if he carried out the only way to help Cat, would inject the antidote as soon as possible ...
Jt stayed in the club preparing one in case was necessary, but first had to find her.
She got into the bathroom and undressed. She showered with cold water. Needed cleared. As I did, kept thinking that is what Gabe would. If he had not led to Baker ... Where? ... One option was out of the city ... take her away ... If I had done that, never find her ... No ... He was obsessed, would want to convert her soon. He would want it to be yours as soon as possible.
A place where anyone bothering them ... suddenly remembered something. All the times she had felt that someone was following this morning ... y.¡ Oh! My God! Knew where he had her ... right in front of their noses. In the place where ever seek and that also explain, because he had a gem in his possession. He had stolen.
It was clarified quickly. She put on, a clean jeans and a gray shirt, and taking his gun and the keys to his car, sped her home.
As he walked down the stairs to the car, took out her mobile from her pants pocket and dialed Jt. He waited a few seconds, but was desperate to see that he was not answering. She hung up and wrote a text message ... trust him to see soon. Sure he was also in the shower.
She ran as soon reached the street. Her car was parked on the next block. No time to lose.
They had all night walking around the city and Jt was tired, aside from sad and worried.
Vincent looked at the screens with facial recognition software, from to time.
They did not know where to look.
Bob had left hastily for the club and no one knew exactly where. He had spoken a few special friends, but nothing more.
Mark had gone from hospital to hospital in case she entered in any of them by some accident. He had not yet returned.
He had gone to his room to shower and change clothes when mobile,
started ringing. He had left on the bar.
Vincent got up to catch it but I'm late. Tess, who was calling.
had already hung up.
He would call back when a text message came:
"Jt, I know where Gabe has a Cat ... Go to lab Sam ... I'm going over there" ..
Vincent quickly put the phone in his pocket and climbed the stairs two by two to find his friend.
While everyone was going crazy trying to find her. Catherine awoke in a bed ... A bed with a white blanket ... She tried to incorporate but realized that was tied. She could not move.
Everything was dark around. Only lighting a few candles allowed to define contours, but only that.
It took a while to remember what had happened.
She had left his parent' s house with a folder with pictures of Cathy and family of their father.
When she went to get in the car someone had grabbed her from behind and had put a handkerchief with chloroform in the mouth.
She closed her eyes, something told him that he knew the person who did it. Gabe.
She looked around confused and amazed discovered, they were in the place where Rebecca was withheld so long. How he had discovered it? Then she remembered the feelings that had had Tess in the morning that someone was watching them..
She had to get out of there asap.
At that time, a shadow moved. Cat watched as his eyes sparkled. An intense amber colored staring at her.
- Have you woke up? I'm glad. - He went to the bed.
- What the hell are you doing you bastard !?. - She screamed.
He sat on the edge of the bed and immediately covered her mouth with his hand.
- If I were you, do not cry ... but I know that no one can hear you I find most annoying.
She twisted.
- No ... Cat, , do not ... not worth it .. I could crush you with this hand and do not want to hurt you ...
He approached her and tried to kiss her.
Cat, turned away.
- Well, I see you're not going to cooperate. - Cat realized then, that carried a knife in the other hand. He ran the tip of her neck, making it drop towards her fine cotton jersey purple. He cut the cloth and continued to fall.
- You can not imagine the hours that have passed since you left me, dreaming to have you all to me ... ..- whole continued cutting until the bra - . Recalling those nights in Mexico ... .
Cat, stirred. She did not want to remember anything. In doing so she deflected the knife cutting her just slightly beside her right breast .
Gabe saw the blood came out of the wound, bent down and licked . Closed his eyes delight in the taste.
- Cat, you and me, are the same ... we have a wonderful life ... those bastards ... - His expression changed into he hate when mention them - . They want for them, but are all mine and always will be ... Vincent has nothing that I can not give you and will not arrive in time .. I took a gem that store so that's out . Can never track me ... . Cat, , I know, you wanted me ... you will do it again ..
She shook her head.
He smiled .
- Anyway, we will fix it right now ... I have that uncovering mouth ... If you scream rest assured, that I'll get your sister and tear up before you ... .- he withdrew his hand, slowly. Cat did not scream . She believed very capable. She stared at him and realized how much he had changed. There was so much determination in his eyes that, for the first time, felt fear of him.
Gabe took a small suitcase under the bed and opened it. He looked around .
- Never thought I had something under laboratory ... who lived here? .- He asked . Looks like a woman ... .- looked Cat.- . well ... I do not want you to scream...
He pulled out a syringe and vial.
Cat knew what it was.
Gabe approached her and stroked her face. Cat spat at him .
- You're a fucking bastard ... and although I inject me that ... never love you ... I can just wanting him ... I can only love him ...
He took off Cat saliva and in a fit of rage gave her a slap ... Cat felt like the side, which had crashed, burned .
He took the hard shoulder and jabbed the needle. She grabbed her head with the other hand.
- Look ... Look! From now you stop being who you are ...
And he pressed the plunger.
Cat felt like liquid entered his body. He could not help a desperate cry out of her throat.
-¡NOOOOOOOOO!
Gabe angry at her reaction, punched him . Cat, fainted ..
When he finished injecting the serum, sat beside her and watched her .
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and was there with him, and now, was docile, I could do with her what he wanted.
Later, when she woke up, they would some difficult days, but by then they would have gone to NY .. They would be far from everything and everyone and she would definitely be his mate.
He removed the blanket that covered it, and the knife ripping finished sweater. He saw the delicate black bra that she wore. He stroked it. .
Smiling, he began to undo the buttons of his shirt.
Then he heard a noise imperceptible to an ear that was not his. The front door had opened . Closed his eyes and inspired .
Fuck! it had someone upstairs ...
One of the children appeared, suffocated, Vincent's room .
- They have heard a woman scream near Riverside Drive, near the old factory ... Devin has told you to go to the room.
Vincent put on his black coat and headed there. When he arrived, Jacob and Devin watched an old map of the tunnels ...
- Have heard a cry ?. he asked, nothing more arrive.
- Yes ... But it is in the area boarded up recently. - He said, his son.
- The one who has held her, has chosen a place where you never would investigate ... . - He approached the table where he was deployed map and saw his brother marked the place ...
- We can not be accessed from anywhere ... .
Vincent turned and left the room .
- Let's check ... .
A few men and Jacob went with him.
- Devin ... someone come to the surface and call to Robert, will it go up ..- indicated to Devin. He nodded and pointed to a young man who quickly left the room with a phone in hand.
They went to the place they had been told and when they arrived, they saw the concrete wall in front of them . It was quite impossible to pass it ... .Vincent hit it pure helplessness ... His enormous strength was not enough.
When Tess came and opened the door, it was with great care. The gun in front of her at all times. She turned on the light and was down sections of tunnel to reach the laboratory .
As had been so blind . Was right when afternoon, she felt someone following them. The son of a bitch was there with them and it sure was down to Cat, where Rebecca was prisoner ..
She walked slowly toward the cell where Tori died .
Suddenly the lights went out. Everything went black and a voice came from behind her.
- I heard you at the same time you have opened the door.
Tess turned ready to shoot anything that moved. She was at a disadvantage against him, so she had to be quick .
Did not have time .
She never knew exactly where wine but when she wanted to realize, was attached to one of the thick stone walls. A blow, had wrested the gun and something he had done in his hand, because she felt excruciating pain ... .
One of the hands of the beast, oppressed his chest, crushing slowly . She tried to move but could not. She looked ahead and darkness which reigned in the lab I can only distinguish Gabe's yellow eyes .
- It is an unexpected pleasure to be with you, here and now ... .how you've known where find me ?.
Tess tried to speak but the pressure exerted by Gabe on his chest stopped her. Her voice was barely a whisper when she said:
- You're not as smart as you think ...
He laughed heartily.
- Really? .. Well, I'll let one thing clear ... you're late ... Cat is already mine and nothing to do Vincent or you will change anything ... I'll take this damn city and be happy ... very happy .. and the children she has are mine not his ... .
He looked down . Unlike her, Gabe could see her perfectly.
- It's a shame that you will not be able to say ... give anything to see his face when that will know. - He laughed again. - . You can not imagine the happiness I feel right now ... I have a Cat ... . Vincent suffer as ever ... and I know that someday we find, and kill him, while Cat helps me do ...
He continued to watch her closely.
- And now, I will finish with the heaviest and unbearable person that I've come across ... .- approached her so much that Tess felt like those eyes dug into hers ... do not know how eager had ... you're no match for a man like me ... .- raised his hand. His claws were toward the Tess's neck.
And I was about to cross it when suddenly he heard a shot. He stood still. Something was wrong. He loosened the weight on the Tess's chest.
This started laughing.
- Gabe ... may not be clear to you, but the small gun, who gave me father when I was 18 years, yes.. The had good reason ... never know that can be helpful ...
Gabe saw it at that time. Tess was targeted to him with the left hand, it carried a small caliber pistol ... almost looked like a toy ... He looked at his belly, and saw that came out, plenty of blood ...
He straightened. Tess was pointing to the lights that were his eyes and he was sure she was going to shoot.
- I know your body heal that wound ... ..- said to him -. But this, no ... .- and pulled the trigger.
Just before she did, Gabe jumped to her and in that moment, the sound of the shot mixed with a deafening roar. Heat from the fire flooded everything and both disappeared, swallowed by the smoke and stone ...
To Be Continued ...
Thanks to all and to all those who have read ... and Yes, know there is no VINCat in this chapter, but the plot was asking me to do other things ... but I guarantee that the next will and good ... .for now I leave, a little preview ...
Big kiss Beasties ...
"... She left the box, that, Jt had given her in one of the steps of the stone staircase. She did very carefully ... still felt like her hands trembled and his head suddenly began to spin.
The thunder rumbled with all the power of the storm, falling at that time in NY.
She closed her eyes. Another sound, deeper, more intense, full of sensuality came into her mind ... Bummm ... Bummm, Bummm. Smiled ecstatically .. could it be? Yes ... it had to be ... the Vincent's heart... turned around and stepped onto the porch.
"... She left the box, that, Jt had given her in one of the steps of the stone staircase. She did very carefully ... still felt like her hands trembled and his head suddenly began to spin.

She closed her eyes. Another sound, deeper, more intense, full of sensuality came into her mind ... Bummm ... Bummm, Bummm. Smiled ecstatically .. could it be? Yes ... it had to be ... the heart of Vincent ... turned around and stepped onto the porch.
He clung to a wooden pillars when, noticing the air in her face, another, dizziness through her.
She saw at once .. back to her. Was kneeling on the floor, his face in his hands ... The white shirt and black pants were soaked by heavy rain, had adhered to his body. Knew he was crying, crying for her.
Suddenly, she saw him lift his head and rise. Cat smiled, she knew that he I was hearing his heart.
He turned and their eyes met.
She can not hold back any longer and went to him ... And he went out to meet her.
Halfway, embraced. So strong that almost lacked breath ... but they did not care, were together again.
Nothing more touching Vincent felt the rush of energy that ran him whenever he was near Tori ... but this time multiplied by 100.
His eyes turned yellow and was amazed as the Cat, too.
She was feeling the same burst of power, need and desire that Vincent felt. she savor with delight ... now understood everything.
Vincent clutched to her face. His voice dripped with despair when he spoke:
- What did you get that bastard ...?! I swear I'll kill him! .- Shouted wind and storm, as he pressed her against his chest.
She stroked his back trying to calm him.
- No .. Vincent ... now do not think about it. It's me. I am here, alive, with you and I am like you ... I feel what you feel ... I want the same thing you want ... I want you, as I never wanted you ...
He kept looking at him with infinite sadness.
- But I don't want you to be like me ...
Cat put her hand in his mouth. He closed his eyes, seeing that touch on his lips.
- Then we'll discuss ... Now no ... Now I don't want to think.
She clutched his neck and pulled him toward her. Vincent, although they also, desire threatening to devour him, resisted ... but she kept trying ... she stood on tiptoe and looked like never before, and he surrendered. They were two animals ready to devour one another.
He bent his head and kissed her, opening his mouth to her ... "
