(Giggle) Well I had to come up with some color. It was green to go with his clothes or something to bring out his eyes! Heh. Glad you like it SunKrux!

InuGhost- yeah sort of sad to see it end- but time for it! Just a last loose end to tie up.

Jimmy. Guess that Artie was trying to be supportive! :)

Ok people! Thanks to everyone for reading! This is the last chapter in this slightly epic story. Have to give a thanks to InuGhost and MarieRene for and the others for betaing for me.

Thanks also to Jahmen for taking a peek here and to Lynn for poking me to try to create a story with a lucky coin which got this whole thing rolling in the first place! Lol. Little did she know it would be a 25 chapter mega story. :)

As always- please give me feedback via whatever means desired. Again, my humblist thanks for reading and making me better.

Now- on with our team for the wrap up.

A week later Artie made sure that the entire team was free of activities on a Saturday night. He entered the TV room with a big bowl of popcorn and grabbed the remote. "Your program over?" he asked Pete.

"Yeah it just ended, um.. there something you want to watch? I can head upstairs." Pete offered.

"Hm..? No, no, I mean yes, but stay. You'll want to watch this." He turned to holler up the stairs, "Claudia! Its on!"

Seconds later Claudia thundered down the stairs followed by Myka. The older woman said, "Seriously? Its on TV?"

"Yeah! Well that's what Artie said!"

"What is?" Pete asked the group in general, getting only a suspicious look from his partner.

On cue, Leena entered the TV room and settled in the corner of the couch next to Artie. She helped herself to a bit of popcorn that he offered her. Myka took the opposite end of the couch and Claudia wedged herself in between her and her boss. Slightly flustered, Artie wondered how he ended up sandwiched, while Pete sat comfortably by himself on the end chair. Myka and Claudia both reached over snatching popcorn from his bowl and Claudia nestled into his side. She was close, but he surprised himself when he realized that he somehow didn't find the closeness smothering.

Before Artie could figure out a different seating arrangement, the TV special program came on. "A Special Report from QRT News" flashed on the screen. Seated dramatically by himself, Allan Crawford came on the screen. "Good evening. Tonight QRT News brings you the exclusive story of international intrigue." Artie hitched up as he recognized his own words again.

Leena said to no one in particular, "He has good aura." Artie grunted at the confirmation of his judgment. Crawford was someone worth helping out.

Pete leaned forward as he started recognizing details of the reporter's story. Myka started paying more attention as well. They looked at each other when the reporter revealed that the story was about the assassin who murdered the Nigerian Ambassador at the UN in New York. They both looked at their boss.

Artie purposefully ignored then and tossed a handful of popcorn into his mouth. He already approved the story and watched the entire program before it aired. Crawford kept true to his word and gave the entire credit to the FBI. Artie smirked at his teams' surprise and let them enjoy the telling of their story, even though they'd never receive credit for it.

At the end of the program the young Mr. Crawford said dramatically into the camera, "Thank you for joining me tonight. I'm Allan Crawford, your new special reporter for QRT news. Join me next week for another QRT Special Report."

Artie smiled to himself. Crawford used the story to negotiate his way into the network news. He made it out of Univille. If Artie ever had to get a story into the media, he had himself a good contact who could make that happen; that was on top of the brownie points that he scored by giving the credit to the FBI.

The senior agent sighed in satisfaction and looked at his team. Pete and Myka were sharing amused looks at the TV and each other. Claudia beamed at the two of them, excitement obvious on her face. He looked at Leena. The clairvoyant was calmly evaluating the team as well. She caught Artie looking at her and she gave him a relaxed smile. He smirked back enjoying the calm feeling that completing the case brought.

Fin.
