"We've found the bastard after four months we have a trail and it is hot," Agent Petrosky said animatedly. "I will call Munch and let him know the good news."

"I'm sure he will be pleased to hear it but it also means that he's about to relive a lot of pain," Huang replied.

"Yeah," Petrosky said sobering up, "but it has do him some good to know that that bastard isn't going to be out there for much longer.

One Week Later

Munch sat there in a daze. He couldn't breath. They had lost him. The trail of David Stein, now going by the name Peter Hoffman went cold in Albuquerque. He knew that he was going to come after him again. Because John had told again but he was more afraid for his brother then he was himself. Oh God he hadn't spoke with his brother in five years but he was worried sick about him. Munch got up and started pacing back and forth. He really didn't know what to do. God should he just sit there and just wait for David to come punish him or worse his brother.

"Stop stop stop", he screamed to himself be rational. You're a freaking Detective for Christ sake. You have a gun you can protect yourself."

"JOHN, JOHN snap out of it man." "What are you doing?" Fin asked. Munch startled and turned around to see Fin standing there in his living room.

"I used my key. I'm sorry, but I knew you were here and you weren't responding so I just let myself in."

Munch was so relieved that it was Fin standing there in his room. The feeling the release of tension was almost sexual.

Munch didn't know what happened next he felt himself walking towards Fin. Munch forcibly pressed Fin up against the wall so hard that Fin was dazed for a moment when his head hit the wall. Munch followed suit and started kissing him intensely almost violently and roaming his hands tearing at Fin's clothes. For a moment Fin stood there stunned and then he responded to the kiss. After a moment he realized that Munch really wasn't enjoying what he was doing. So he grabbed Munch's hand to put a stop to it and pulled away from Munch not without some resistance. Munch was surprisingly strong but he was stronger. He took a couple of deep breaths still pinning Munch's hands.

"What are you doing, Munch." Fin asked.

"I..I'm sorry I just wanted to feel something besides this pain. God I can't make it go away."

"Sssshh. Ssshhhh. Come here," Fin said pulling Munch to him and pulled him up against his body. Fin first kissed Munch on his forehead then proceeded to kiss him on the cheek, the neck, and finally worked his way back up to his month. He then took Munch's mouth with his, kissing him gently, slowly, and sweetly. Munch's mouth began to taste more salty and Fin knew he was holding back tears. He continued to kiss him sweetly. He then began using his hands to move sensuously over Munch's body.

Fin pulled Munch to his bedroom. He gently laid Munch down on the bed and slowly undressed Munch taking care to watch him for any signs of discomfort. He then stood up and undressed himself. After he was undressed he started making love to Munch again with his hands and mouth moving all along his body. He climbed on top of Munch and pressed their groins together and gently rocked against Munch all the while continuously kissing and caressing John with his hands.

When Munch climaxed he was left with the most amazing feeling of contentment. He kissed Fin deeply and pulled him down so that he was completely on top of him. Fin tried to resist.

"John I'll crush you," Fin whispered.

"No you won't. Stay here," he pleaded. Fin complied. After a few minutes Munch drifted off to sleep. A few minutes later Fin got up and cleaned himself off, came back to bed and lay beside Munch and pulled him into his arms.

"I'll keep watch over you, John," he whispered. "I'll keep the demons at bay."
