A new chapter which will put out more clues and attempts to answer questions as well. Can you spot the clues and questions and if you do so then point out where. I'm interested in hearing your theories.
Inspiration came from the song "Bleeding Muddy Water" by Mark Lanegan which appeared in the latest episode of the scimitar.
Also a new original character appears which will have a small yet pivotal role, the name of the character is inspired by a person who I am very good friends with and is on FF.
Also a crossover character will appear most of you will enjoy.

[One Week Later]
Red was inside a dark lounge and reading a newspaper until he sensed someone coming and he closed the newspaper and threw it in front of the person
"You did something to piss her off Alan"
"This is why I came to you"
It was Fitch. The headline reads "3 Politicians died in Japan" and the pictures were of 3 politicians from Fitch's Alliance.
"To tell you the truth, I shouldn't even have to be here. I could've easily send some of my people to kill you after lying to me…..twice"
"Ray, if it's good business then I take my chances"
"So sending a drone to attack her was good business?"
Fitch didn't answer. Red laughs
"It bit you in the ass, snakes typically do that sort of thing"
"Ray, I'm going to cut to the chase, I need that asset of yours."
Red looked at Fitch
"She wouldn't be of any use to you Alan"
"She may not be as good as Brenda Gonzalez but she from what I hear needs some answers that I can give her in regards to her situation and I've known her to be the best in being a pest to people."
Red looked at Fitch
"Why should I help you now?"
"Remember what's at stake Ray, this girl has our entire playbook. Our asses are fried"
"Correction, yours and that alliance of yours, my ass is already fried Alan. If I hadn't known better, for the first time, someone has made you paranoid."
"Remember Ray, The threat is Brenda. We eliminate her and then we could go business as usual"
Red thinks about it
"I notify her that someone has a contract for her."
Red gets up and leaves
[The Post Office, Clarice's office]
Clarice was on the phone with someone. She wasn't using her office phone but a personal one.
"Have you found her yet?"
"Ha yes, she's quite an adventurer my dear Clarice."
"Please, don't kill her yet"
"You have doubt on me I see, that's just insulting"
"I'll talk to you soon"
Clarice hangs up as Liz walks in. Liz was wearing all black and a new black V-neck t shirt on. What is surprising though is that she is also wearing the gold necklace that Divine gave her months ago back in Los Angeles.
"You wanted to see me, Clarice"
"Yes Agent Keen, we got updates on the Divine case"- Clarice says as she turns on a small tv screen that was in her office. It was report on the three politicians' death in Japan.
Authorities still try to put together the deaths of 3 major world renowned politicians in their respective hotels rooms in Japan last week. The coroner's report suggests that the politicians died of a drug overdose but never say which drugs were found inside their system. Witness say that those 3 politicians were spotted in an event in a nightclub where drugs might've been involved. Their identities haven't been revealed yet at this time. However, there has been theories out there that their deaths aren't accidental, in fact many say that it's just another assassination committed by Divine whose real name is Brenda Gonzalez, who we must remember is number one on the FBI's most wanted list. The FBI has described her as one of the most ruthless killers but as one of the best in the modern era. If the politicians deaths were caused by Divine then that event is one of the reasons she's is dubbed by the FBI as criminals alike as "The Ruthless Rattlesnake Assassin." That's it for me we send it back to the newsroom.
Clarice turns the T.V. off as Liz tries to process of the footage and commentary she just saw. She realizes that what she saw is what Divine meant about going hunting. Hunting as in killing whoever was planning to kill her.
"Let me ask you a question agent keen. Why didn't you arrest her that day in Guatemala on top of the mountain?"
Liz looked at Clarice and said
"She gave me the tape recorder where is proven to be innocent of cooper's death"
"I know that's why she is cleared of that murder. But, still as an agent's duty to arrest the suspect, guilty until proven innocent."
Clarice looked at Liz
"Let me ask you Liz, is there something that is going on with Divine that you aren't telling me or the rest of the task force?"
"No"
What I have with her, nobody will know. I'm not giving her up
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Then I have no reason to doubt your word or skills agent keen"
Liz then asked her a question
"Where's AD Gonzalez?"
"Ha she took on a leave."
Liz then thought In other words, she quit. So she asked
"Why?"
"Having the last name Gonzalez and being Brenda's sister brought her to scrutiny from the rest of the FBI despite of her father's legacy which is now tarnished because now many wonder how much her father knew. I can understand her, she paying for the sins of her sister. That's why I took over this task force secretly. That good news is that the public doesn't know of her previous stint of her time in the NSA/DIA. The attorney general says it's too risky due to the Snowden Effect, The fact that Brenda was even involved with the NSA could destroy that organization for good."
Liz at that point realized that Divine quite literally brought the whole U.S. Government to its knees much like a kidnapper does to a hostage. But then that brought another question.
"Do you know where Brenda's sister is?"
"I'm afraid that no, I don't know"
Does Divine know about this? I have to ask her about it. Damn it, why hasn't Red called me yet. - Liz thought
[3 days Later: London, England-Wembley Stadium]
Divine is sitting in one of the benches of the gigantic and yet empty Wembley Stadium. It looked so huge since there wasn't anybody in site. She was wearing a black hoodie, black jeans, black boots and her hair was down and as always wearing her gold jewelry and the silver cross earrings. She had an envelope on her hand that read
DNA Results
She took a deep breath and opened the envelope and then read the results and she smiled while thinking
The Search is over
Smiling in pure joy, she got out her burner phone and called someone
"Hey I got the test, I'm your daughter. It's 100% confirmed. I can finally call you mom now. I know, I never thought it would be you though. I suspected but ever since I got the letter from my adopted father. I knew I had to go to you. I always appreciated what you two have done for me"
As soon as the other person on the phone started to say some stuff, Divine got a little nostalgic and said
"I know, it's a shame my father isn't here to share the good news. I just wonder why he never told me the whole truth though. I guess I can understand him now. Don't worry I won't appear in your family's life due to my standing. I know that your family and my father's family are different and while they accepted me, I'm not sure yours will…I understand mom. Ok I'll talk to you soon. Say hello to them for me though. Thanks"
Divine hangs up as she put the results away. She smiled as her search for her biological mother is now over, she wants to share this news with someone but she remembers, she has nobody she could trust with that sensitive information. While she did give Jennifer that letter Hector written for her, she outlined in black the information that was only reserved for Divine's eyes which included the names of her biological parents and her origin.
The truth is she didn't trust many people with that information. If Roger, Christine, Edgar and Sofia were still alive, she would run to them to share the news but they aren't around anymore. Even though Christine came later and was with Roger for a short time but Divine took a liking to her for her funny and yet shy personality and the fact that she stole Roger's heart. It was a plus in Divine's book and quickly embraced her to become part of the group. Only for her and Roger getting killed in Moscow, it made Divine feel guilty again. Despite killing Luciano and Naomi, Her team's death still haunt her. But she shakes those thoughts aside
She thought on the people she could share the DNA info with. Jennifer, not really, although she is hiding her due to the war that's she's in and the fact she's biologically Red's daughter. It wasn't in her favor to do so.
Then there was her hit squad. They are the only closest people to her but not that close like her original team was. They met Roger during their traveling in 2012 and were like traveling buddies but Divine knew that her hit squad it's business. While she knew about them and their lives, they didn't know much about her other than what she has told them which is very limited to begin with. But her hit squad understood that Divine was private about her life and they respected that. Same can be said about Jamie, her weapon's dealer and Wilbert's brother.
Then there was Edward Snowden. The only person who she met during her time in the NSA that was close to Divine. She felt apprehensive since he didn't know anything about what Divine truly was until she found him in that Russian café shop when she came to him for Liz's real father's name. She would call him later.
Then Elizabeth Keen popped into her head. The thought of her shook Divine in her boots.
The moment in the car was something she kept repeating over and over again much like the Los Angeles 24 hour binge and the Guatemalan Waterfall mountain affair. Although the car scenario confused her, she thought that Red and Liz were one attached union and yet Liz tempted her to kiss her and to some extent have sex with her in the car. Although she wanted to share her vulnerable side to her, she wasn't sure what Liz felt for her if Liz actually felt something for her at all. She took out her gold karat necklace where she had a gold cross and the gold angel wings ring that Liz gave her in New York. That day that she saved her life. It's a moment that Divine to this day cherishes dearly.
She is scared; she doesn't want to be rejected by Liz. She didn't know what to think at this point.
But then, she felt somebody approaching her and then she spoke
"Your wife sent you, didn't she?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"I saw you in the airport, so I noticed. Besides let me remind you I actually was your bodyguard along with my team in that elopement ceremony in France in exactly 7 years ago today"
Divine turned and it was Hannibal Lector. He sat next to Divine
"I heard about your little ruffling with those politicians Divine how crude of you"
"Do not preach your morality to me Hannibal. You may have slowed down your ruthless side and of eating flesh but believe me I could care less of what you say. I have no compassion for anything in this life."
Divine got up and walked as Hannibal followed. They were walking in the soccer or football field grass.
"So what's the agent to you"
"Who?"
"Elizabeth Keen?"
"My business with her is none of your concern."
"I would say that she's your emotional trigger isn't it"
Divine smiled but it was the same dark smile that she gave when she knocked Meera and Samar on the ground in the tunnel.
"I have no trigger. Stop trying to figure me out Hannibal. Shrinks tried to analyze me for years and yet couldn't put me together. You won't be the exception to that."
Hannibal just looked at Divine with a small smile
"I knew a girl like you would have no trigger. If she was your trigger you would be angry with me. A bad girl aren't we"
"I always was. But tell me, did you kill Daniel?"
"Like you ask"
"What time is it?"
"It's 7 pm here"
Divine smiled again as they approach close to the exit of the stadium.
"The dominos are about to fall lector it's only a matter of time"
Then all of a sudden a shot was fired that hit Divine's left arm. Lector took out a gun as they both saw a woman shooting at them. Lector shoots as Divine and Lector ran as they could and went to Divine's car and they both got in as they drove off quickly.
[Back in America]
A man was exercising until he saw a group of men approaching him. He realized that they were coming to kill him but he took out his hidden gun and shot them all and then a pick-up truck comes in the court yard and he jumps in the back as he and the passenger shot the guards and run off.
[Post Office]
Meera appeared in Clarice office while Liz and Clarice were profiling Divine again.
"We got a situation"- Meera says
Clarice and Liz got up and went to where the rest were that's when Aram spoke
"We got word from 4 different jails and all have confirmed that everyone we have captured alive in Operation Lone Star have been murdered all at the exact time at 10 am except for one"
Then Aram displayed the photos
Ronald, Mark and Joseph Turner who made up Blaze Inc., Freddie Hamilton 'The Collector', Diana and Nikki Lee known as the Lee Sisters, Dr. Daniel Jefferson and Darryl Brown.
"So who is still alive?"- Samar asks
"Darryl Brown, he escaped and now roaming free."- Aram says
"Who helped him"- Meera asks
"I can answer that question"
Everybody turned and saw Red walking with Dembe
"Did you help him Red"- Liz asks
"Oh no, now why would I do that? He's as worthless to me as Divine is to you Agent Keen. Based on my sources, his brother broke him out who is known Lawrence Brown or Larry for short. As you know, Darryl is known for making car accidents his trade mark to killing people as well as car combat, grand theft auto, stealing car to sell its parts to the black market, A hot head but has his ways with women. As far as I'm concerned we need to find Darryl.
"Why should we or let me guess Divine helped his brother break him out"
Red says nothing but instead says
"What I know is that he will lead us to his brother Larry and maybe maybe, he might lead us to Nelson Jimenez's and Divine's location."
To that, find out where Edison is. I just hope she got rid of Divine- Red's thoughts
[Unknown location]
"Did you kill her?"- Fitch asked
The woman looked at fitch
"She got away sir but I left her a wound"
Fitch smiled
"Good, for now. You must kill her, she killed your husband, therefore I'm giving you the opportunity of a lifetime here. If Ray says your good at being a pest, then be a pest in Divine's life."
The woman nodded and left.
[Days later]
Divine looked at her arm which was bandied heavily. The doctor was checking up on her in London safe house as Hannibal walked in
"Judging from her look, she must be from Greece, which is a very beautiful country"
Hannibal gives Divine a folder which had the woman's picture on it as she was leaving England. Then Divine remembers the face, she has seen her from somewhere until then all the pieces came together.
"I know who she is"- Divine says as she winces in pain
"Enlighten me"
"Hestia-that's her name"
TBC….
