Theresa groaned as the phone awoke her from her deep sleep. She groggily reached over and picked it up.
"Hello?" she said softly.
"Theresa, its Fox." the voice on the other line said.
"Fox!" she exclaimed. "Why are you calling me this early in the morning?"
"..It's 10 o'clock Theresa.." he said slowly.
"Well nevermind that, what's going on?" she asked as she sat up on her bed.
"I think I've got a lead." he answered.
"A lead on what?"
"On what happened to your father." he said pausing. "I don't want to say this over the phone, so can you just meet me in the warehouse?"

Fox's heart skipped a beat as he heard the clicking of Theresa's heels against the cold floor.
"Theresa." he said as she approached him.
"Hey." she replied giving him a quick hug. "So, what is it?"
"Ok," Fox said as he opened a folder "I've really been looking at where your dad was his last hours, and I found this document that said he took a plane to Sicily."
"Why would my dad go to Sicily?" she asked confused.
"That's what I'm wondering too." he handed the paper to Theresa and pulled out another. "This right here says that around the time he disappeared he had spent a lot of time in the hospital's lab."
"Ok, so let me get this straight. My dad went to the hospital's lab 24/7 and then took a plane to Sicily?" she repeated.
"Yeah, something like that."
"It doesn't make any sense." she said shaking her head.
"I know, that's why we're going to take a little trip to Sicily." Fox said closing the folder.
"What? Now?"
"Now." he repeated. "The jet is waiting for us so let's go."
Without waiting any longer, Fox and Theresa boarded the jet to Sicily.

"It's so beautiful here." Theresa said in awe as the Sicilian wind blew through her hair.
"Yeah." Fox answered. He looked over at her and realized how beautiful she was. Her dark hair was like a deep mystery.
"So what's this?" Theresa asked, breaking the silence.
"This," Fox said pointing to a small house in front of them, "is the last place your father was seen in Sicily."
Theresa nodded and opened the door as it let out a soft screech.
Fox and Theresa's eyes widen as they looked around. There were rusted machines crowded together in the house.
"What exactly was your father doing here?" Fox asked.
"I'd like to know the same thing." Theresa replied as she walked around. The place was mysterious. Some of the equipment had the name of the hospital back in Harmony engraved on them.
"Hey, Theresa!" Fox suddenly called.
Theresa turned around and walked over to where Fox was standing. "What, did you find something?"
"Look." Fox said handing her a torn piece of paper.
On the paper there was a name and a number written on it.
"Sergio Velasquez." she read. "Do you know who this is?"
"Yeah." Fox said nodding. "He used to work at Crane Industries...he was Alistair's secretary."
Theresa's mouth fell open. "You said he used to? What happened to him?"
"He got fired."
"Wait." Theresa said putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "He's the guy that wired money from the Crane's account to an account in Switzerland. I remember it went public..."
"...just a few weeks after your Father disappeared." Fox said dazed. "I'm guessing he knew something about your father, Alistair found out, framed him, and fired him."
"That means he's got to know something."
"Yes, and we're going to go find out." Fox replied.

"We're meeting Sergio tommorow at 5 in the warehouse." Fox said as he entered Theresa's living room.
"Great." she said. "Hopefully he knows something."
"Yeah." Fox said hopefully. "Well, I should be getting home now."
"Yeah, it's been a long day." she said walking him to the door.
"It has. Don't forget about tomorrow, I would hate to be the only one to hear what Sergio has to say." Fox reminded her.
Theresa didn't answer, she just stood there with a glazed look on her eyes.
"Theresa?" Fox said taking a step closer to her.
Theresa suddenly fainted and Fox caught her in his arms.
"Hey, Theresa...come on, wake up." he said beginning to panic.
A few minutes later Theresa opened her eyes. "I'm sorry. The chemo does that some times." she said letting out a weak smile.
"The chemo." Fox repeated over and over in his brain. He had forgotten that she had cancer. "You should rest." he said carrying her into her bedroom and laying her down on the bed.
She nodded as she rested her head against the pillow.
Fox gently kissed her on the forehead and stood up to leave.
"Fox." she called out.
"Yes?" he said turning around to face her.
"Stay with me. Please? I get so lonely sometimes." she said weakly.
Fox nodded and laid down beside her. Theresa rested her head on his chest and quickly fell asleep.
"You don't ever have to worry about being lonely again." he whispered as he kissed her forehead.
Ethan watched from the window as Fox ran his fingers through Theresa's hair. "You'll never have Theresa." he vowed. "Never."
"Hello?" she said softly.
"Theresa, its Fox." the voice on the other line said.
"Fox!" she exclaimed. "Why are you calling me this early in the morning?"
"..It's 10 o'clock Theresa.." he said slowly.
