I do not own…just this story and any character I add

Thank you so much guys wow the reviews are amazing. Okay so before I start this chapter I wanted to clear up a few questions. The man that was shot is not the agent that everyone is looking for at the moment. He is a pawn so to speak for the agent. This chapter will be of course filled with Vincent and Catherine as well as JT, Maggie, and Will. I will also be giving you an inside look into the agents mind as well as he still plans his move for his attack on Vincent and Cat. So I hope that cleared things up and once again thank you…and on with the chapter….

Chapter 21

Vincent woke to see JT standing at the end of the bed looking at them.

"Hey man, what time is it?" Vincent whispered to him as he moved from the bed careful to not wake Catherine.

"It's about eight. How is she?" JT asked him.

"Good, she had a rough surgery last night but the doctors say she will heal. The baby is just fine" Vincent told him.

"I'm glad to hear it, but we have something else to talk about" JT met his eyes.

"JT, now isn't the time" Vincent told him his voice firm.

"And when is the perfect time Vincent? When we all are dead?" JT snapped at him.

Vincent could feel his anger rising as he stood moving closer to JT.

"It will not come to that" Vincent took a deep breath.

"You can't expect to tell people and think that they can keep it forever. If murfield can find them they can make them talk Vincent" JT pointed at him.

"I will not talk about this now JT. Not with Catherine being the way she is or even here at the hospital" Vincent told him once more before shutting the conversation down all together.

"Fine, Jake wanted me to tell you we have a possible location on Agent Chapman. It's not definite but it's a good start" JT told him.

"Good, tell him to text it to me" Vincent said looking back at Catherine who was still sleeping.

"Will do man" JT shook his head before leaving the room.

Vincent looked down at Catherine who was still sound asleep even after everything that was said between him and JT. Vincent ran his hands through his hair. He needed a shower but that could wait until Maggie came.

Meanwhile in a hotel on the outside of town...

Agent Chapman slammed his fist against the door of his hotel in frustration. He had sent three other agents to handle something he knew should have been easy for them and yet here he sat planning his next move. He thought for sure that Agent Sinclair could have handled Catherine Chandler. He didn't care either way if she died but he wanted her alive enough for Keller to come looking for her, and then he would probably kill her. He ran his hand over his face as he took a seat near his computer and maps. He had spent enough time playing other pieces in a game he should have known would end badly. He clicked his computer on and looked for the one person he needed. Dead or alive Catherine Chandler was Keller's undoing and he would have her no matter the cost.

Maggie entered the hospital room carrying more flowers for Catherine. She was thrilled to see her awake and smiling even after everything she had went thru.

"Oh I am so happy to see you're awake. How are you feeling?" Maggie asked her as she moved to place the flowers on the window sill.

"I'm better, a little sore but much better. Dr. Patterson said I could go home in two days after the wounds start to heal" Catherine smiled.

"I am so glad, are you hungry?" Maggie turned grinning.

"You didn't?" Catherine accused her.

"Why of course I did" Maggie laughed as she handed Vincent and Catherine containers from the local burger joint in town.

Vincent smiled and lifted the lid to see a huge bacon cheese burger with fries and a pickle. Catherine smiled at him.

"Best Hamburgers in town" Catherine grinned as she fished out the pickle taking a bite of it and sighing in contentment.

"Oh I almost forgot the shakes" Maggie chided herself as she handed one to Vincent and Catherine.

"You are a saint" Catherine laughed.

"I know, but don't tell Will, he will think you're crazy" Maggie teased as she sat next to Catherine.

"Lips are sealed" Catherine mumbled as she stuck fries in her mouth.

After Catherine and Vincent finished eating Maggie sent Vincent home for a shower and some fresh clothes. Vincent smiled and hugged her before turning his attention to Catherine and kissed her deeply forgetting that Maggie sat nearby.

"You see that is what causes babies" Will chuckled from the door.

Vincent pulled back blushing at Will's words.

"Oh Will, your embarrassing the poor boy" Maggie told him with a stern look.

"Yes mam" he grinned before kissing her on the lips.

As Vincent straightened up Will tossed him a set of keys.

"Called the repair shop and the car will be fixed with in the week, but mean while here is a rental" Will told him.

"Thank you" Vincent told him smiling.

With one last kiss Vincent left the room heading home for a shower and new clothes. Maggie and Will stayed with Catherine until she fell asleep and then they went down stairs for some coffee. The guards stood watch as Catherine slept peacefully.

Meanwhile...

Agent Chapman smiled as he finished looking at the map. He stood up stretching before moving to take a shower. After his shower he emerged and quickly got dressed. As he looked over the map her heard a car door slam shut. He quickly shoved his things into his bag grabbing his gun and moved to the patio door. He unlocked it and quietly opened it slipping out and moving to his car. Suddenly the door for the hotel flew open and he heard the roar of a beast. He was tempted to make a stand for it but quickly moved to climb in his car. He had a plan and it would follow through, he just had to set up camp and make a house call. Chapman grinned before hitting the gas sending him into the small Tennessee town.

Vincent finally reached the house and climbed out of the rental car. He was impressed by the car to say the least, especially in a small town. Will had given him the keys to a large truck and he actually liked it. He thought maybe after he started work again he could get himself one, it would come in handy of that he was sure. As he walked up the steps the idea of a shower grew more and more important as well as getting back to Catherine and their baby. He opened the door and immediately went upstairs for a hot shower. After about ten minutes Vincent emerged feeling much better. He slipped on a pair of jeans, his boots, and a long sleeve shirt. He brushed his teeth and went downstairs. He entered the kitchen to see JT sitting at the bar with his computer.

"Hey" Vincent told him as he grabbed water from the fridge.

"Hey" JT told him looking closely at the computer screen.

"Look man, I am sorry I got so upset with you at the hospital. I shouldn't have done that" Vincent met his eyes.

"I would have done the same man. It's cool" JT offered him a hand.

"Look I know you're worried but I had no choice but to tell them. I am glad I did JT, Will is going to help us track down Chapman" Vincent grinned.

"Yeah, about that" JT started but stopped when Jake came in the front door.

"What is going on?" Vincent questioned them.

"I found Chapman" Jake told him his voice edging closer to anger.

"And?" Vincent asked.

"He slipped out as I came in. I manage to get a smell on him as well as this" Jake handed Vincent some papers.

Vincent looked at them for a moment before he snapped his head up at Jake.

"He ordered the hit on Dr. Chandler?" Vincent was stunned, how was he going to tell Catherine.

"That's not all, look closer?" Jake told him.

Vincent read on in disbelieve. This was getting thicker by the second. He brought his eyes back to Jake's.

"I am so sorry man" he told him after seeing Maggie's name on the list with a check beside it.

"Look again" Jake said grinding his teeth together.

Vincent looked at the last page.

"Catherine" Vincent whispered.

"Yes, he is after her as a way to get to you. If he can get her then he will have you exactly where he wants you. The only thing he won't see coming is me" Jake told him.

"You think he is planning something big" Vincent stated rather than asked.

"If Chapman has done all this so far I can guarantee he is going to something much bigger. He is waiting for all the pieces to land" Jake told him.

"I've got to go to Catherine, call me if anything changes okay" Vincent asked his friends.

"Of course, how is she?" Jake asked him turning.

"She is better. The baby was safe but she suffered liver lacerations which caused some serious internal bleeding. They say she can come home in two days" Vincent told him.

"I'm glad she and the baby are okay. Tell her we said hello" Jake offered him.

"I will and thanks man" Vincent smiled to him before turning for the door and heading back to Catherine.

Meanwhile just inside the small town...

Agent Chapman pulled his car into a patch of trees before climbing out and moving into the abandoned house. He didn't mind he had seen worse in many ways. He checked the house and found a table and chair as well as an old cot. He pulled them into a small room at the back of the house in case he needed a quick out. He pulled his gun from his holster and checked the bullets before setting it on the table. He then moved his attention to his bag removing the contents and setting them up in front of him. He had been patient enough to find out where Keller and Chandler had been as well as his nerd of a friend but now he was ready to settle the score once and for all.
