He still hadn't come back 3 days later when she contacted Eve.

"Eve, he left."

Eve is surprised he made it this long "When?"

Julie is straightforward "Monday night."

Eve gets straight to it "What did you do?"

Julie is blaming him "He's one of those old fashioned conservative blood purity types. I called him out on it and he was furious. I am pretty sure he was going to kill me."

Eve starts reigning her in "Just run me through why you would say stupid things to someone who murders people for a living."

Julie doesn't get it "He's that sort of person. You know, army, guns, etc.".

Eve is stern with her "Not him - why would YOU say that knowing what sort of a person he is? Seriously, why do I have to say this out loud to you every time - the sort of person who murders people for his day job is not the sort of person you want to mouth off at and send into a rage. Why am I having this conversation with a Hexenbiest? You ought to be a bit more, um how shall I say this, sanguine about getting yourself murdered on purpose. Are you not the same Hexenbiest who just spent 3-months chained to a concrete floor being beaten and rolling around in a pool of your own blood?"

Julie is silent.

Eve continues "Did he tell you anything about his family?"

Julie is back to complaining "No, I mean he's a Grimm right? They hate Hexenbiests and Wesen."

Eve is trying to get her to think for herself "Did he hate you?"

She's still complaining "Huh? Probably, I mean he's a Grimm."

Eve breaks the news "Julie, he's half-hexenbiest."

Julie's not getting it "What, no, I saw his eyes. I sensed him. He's a Grimm."

Eve is trying to get her to listen "His mother is a hexenbiest and his father is a Grimm. They have been together nearly 30 years."

"What are you talking about? He is a grimm. That's impossible. Grimms and Hexenbiests can't have children. They can hardly even be around eachother without poisoning eachother and losing their powers or dying. I know because I developed the whole treatment regimen."

"And yet he gave you his blood and you are fine - now you have the Blood of a Grimm. And presumably you have slept with him by now."

Julie continues "He said he killed Hexenbiests."

"He kills anybody we send him to kill except you for some reason.

Eve continues "He was the first ever half-hexenbiest half-grimm child so far as anybody knows. He has brothers and sisters now, but he was the first. It's sort of a long story but he was natural born that way. Kelly and his family are the reason you were working on this."

Julie has one single fleeting moment of decency "Oh my god, so he has probably been fighting that blood purity mess his whole life. I never knew. So what now?"

Julie was expecting Eve to bail her out and send her home.

Eve's not going to. "Well, he's your cover - so you have to go find him and figure out how to reestablish your cover. You are 'married' after all."

Julie is still trying to weasel out "What happens if I can't?"

Eve drops the hammer. "Well then, somebody else will have to come clean up your mess."

Julie is incredulous "Wait, what does that mean?"

Eve isn't giving Julie an inch "I think you know what it means. Keep me updated on your progress."

...

A couple days later Eve finally gets ahold of Kelly. "So I heard you left her."

Kelly is grumbling "It was either that or kill her."

Eve is teasing him "She's not THAT bad."

Kelly is still frustrated "She's worse! I would have thought spending months chained to a floor and being tortured would have sort of given her perspective."

Eve breaks it to him "She is ridiculously smart and extremely good with sorting out weird potions and stuff - much better than anybody we have ever seen... But I think actually the worst agent we have ever sent on an actual mission."

Kelly chuckles "I got that impression. You know she argued with me about her cover the whole way home? I mean seriously, she has a passport, legal documents, driver's license, and such - and she wants to argue about it. We nearly got arrested at every single customs because she wouldn't stick to the cover."

Eve laughs "Her whole cover was sort of a gift from everybody at HW. It's been a running joke over the last 5-years to make up the most optimally horrible cover identity for her. And then you rescued her and we needed something right then. We already had it so we went with it."

Now Kelly is laughing "So YOU did this to me?"

She is laughing too "Oh, no, you brought this on yourself."

Kelly is curious "So was that glue salesman husband bit part of the joke?"

Eve is laughing about that part too "Yes, sort of. Her original husband didn't make any sense for international work, so we had to come up with the glue salesman - you know, what sort of guy would marry a woman like that."

Kelly groans "So now I'm the guy who takes proud pictures with teeny little deer fawns and wears speedo's?"

She is still laughing "By the way - nobody in HW can figure out how you actually managed to get her back here alive. I actually made quite a bit of money off you because nobody would give her making it past Egypt."

That sets Kelly off "Egypt! Christ, that's where she let two armed Verrat right into the motel room while I was out checking their car."

Kelly is curious now "So wait, how did she end up in the field if she is so horrible with agent work?"

Eve dead pans it "Orders from up high."

Kelly's mad now "Seriously? So are you saying that you guys sent her to get captured and killed?"

Eve knows she can't say it out loud "Well, no, but it was sort of understood that there would be a very high probability."

Kelly is laughing now "Oh my god, so somehow I manage to save the ONE that you guys hated so much you sent her out to get killed?"

Eve is laughing too "No, it's worse than that. She was so horrible that she singlehandedly got her whole team killed. Then we sent the rescue team and she got all of them killed as well. Then we sent our single best assassin team to go kill her. But you rescued her, so Merry Christmas. She's yours now."

Kelly is frustrated "And this is my punishment?"

Eve smirks "Well, an example has to be made."

Kelly is railing now "Seriously? So you want me to go back so I can roll around in my own personal hell."

Eve is still laughing "You're still her cover."

"But I will kill her. Like literally murder her."

Eve chuckles "Can you borrow the staff from your dad?"

"Probably, why."

Eve is snickering now at the idea "Maybe it would help, you know, take the edge off."

Kelly smiles "You mean like just murder her when she gets out of hand?"

Eve knows the gears in his mind are rolling "Yeah, basically, Or if she won't take the training seriously. I mean sometimes people need a reason to focus. And it would probably make you feel better."

Kelly finally realizes what she said and has one second of hope "Training? Good luck with that. Well, at least she will be out of my hair."

And Eve pours Julie back into his lap "Not so much."

Kelly wants out "Wait? What? You want me to train her? NO! Absolutely not!"

Eve snickers "Maybe it will help, you know, give her a reason to change."

He doesn't want to touch this with a stick "More likely just make it worse."

Eve knows what she needs "She needs her instincts to kick in and sort of make her think things through and look forward through situations."

"But I get to kill her?"

"Sure, so long as you bring her back."

"Well, you are going to have to explain the whole training thing to her."

...

Julie finally tracked Kelly down a couple weeks later in a dive bar an hour away. She really didn't want to go find him but had noticed more black vehicles and suspicious people who seemed to be watching her. The HW team had been taking bets for how many surveillence vehicles it would take before she noticed. Eve made a lot of money on them finally parking 22 black vehicles around the house, nobody else would take bets over 15 vehicles.

HW had left her a LOT of hints including drawing her a veritable map, and she eventually found the place. She walked in and sat down next to him.

Kelly scowled at her "What are you doing here?"

She had a worried look "I think they are going to kill me."

He doesn't care "So? What makes you think I won't."

She is trying to be polite "Look, I am really sorry. Eve told me about you and your family, I had no idea."

He is trying to brush her off "You know what they say, you can't pick your family."

But she's trying "And you saved my life."

He still wants her to go away "I was just doing my job."

It's not working "You were supposed to kill me but you saved me."

He scowls again "Yeah, well, I won't make that mistake again."

She continues "At least have a drink with me."

Kelly rolls his eyes "Ok, fine."

Julie smiles a fake smile "And I wore this for you. You know, I guess I need to practice Melissa."

It was a hooters shirt. About 3-sizes too tight with a black push up bra underneath. And complimenting that were extremely tight and shapely blue jeans and black high heels. Every single guy in the whole bar had watched her walk in except Kelly. She whispered in his ear "I found a whole drawer of Hooter's tee shirts."

He almost snorted his beer out his nose. He smiled a big smile, motioned the bartender, and asked him "Bring my wife here a Natural Light. In the can."

They talked some more. She has had a few beers and was smiling comfortably numb when she asks "You coming home with me?"

"Hadn't planned to."

She smiles a sly smile. The alcohol has her instincts kicking in "Maybe I can make it worthwhile."

*grumble*.

She reached over and put her hand on a big guy walking past. He looked at Kelly and swings at him.

Kelly looks at her "Seriously?" Now it's on and he has 5 guys fighting him. Soon he is pulling her out of the bar "You are going to get the cops called on us."

She smiles a sly smile "You can take them!"

He knows all about cops though "Yeah, but they have radios and cameras. Guns too,

He's not in the mood to deal go at it with cops "Get in the car!"

She is all over him in the car. Kissing and licking his neck and chest. Her instinctive side *really* likes him. The violence on him is like a drug to her. When they get home she is literally tearing his clothes off to get at him.

The next morning at the house - he wakes up to the smell off coffee and looking at her trying on bikini tops in front of him. "I have never owned one of these. Seriously, I am not really sure how these are supposed to go. Wow, I am definitely going to have to get some sun and I guess shave everything. Do you like this one?"

He smiles.
