Disclaimer: I don't own Cold Case I wish I did but I don't not sure who does but if that person feels the need to sue me just know that I have nothing..well nothing that you'd want anyway.

Authors note: I want to thank you all for the reviews and let you know that the story doesn't have anything to do with Mind hunter, it might later but I'm not sure bout that at the moment. It might be a week or so before a new chapter is up, I really want this story to be good so I'm not gonna rush it. Thanks again for the reviews I'll try to keep up the good work. Hope you enjoy this chapter but if you don't feel free to let me know.

Thunder voiced it's opinion, lighting graced the darkened sky with a smile and the rain threatened to devour Scotty Valens as he made his way to the address Lily had given him.

He didn't know what was going on, his partner had been a little vague on details but there had been something ominous in her voice so he drove a little faster than he should have.

A house came into view, he stopped the car and made a break for it, the rain wasn't going to give up anytime soon.

Lily was standing on the front porch, watching the water dance with the world around her, shivering from the memory in her mind,she hadn't noticed Scotty arrive, when he touched her back she almost jumped out of her skin.

"God you scared the hell out of me."

"What's going on Lil?" he asked the worry in his voice couldn't be helped "Are you ok?"

She shut her ocean colored eyes tight and willed everything to go away, it couldn't touch her anymore, she wasn't going to let it.

Lily forced herself to look at him, she told him all about Lorna's case and what had happened with Jenna, then she fell silent again, letting her gaze return to the rain.

"So what are we doing here Lil, shouldn't we be checking that letter for prints?"

"I already sent it to forensic, but I doubt there will be any."

He waited for her to explain why they were standing around doing nothing but she stood like a stone, looking off into the distance not really focused on anything at all.

"Where's the sister now, I'd like to ask her a few questions."

That seemed to penetrate the wall she had built around her, a river of fire suddenly ran through her blood.

" I have to close this case..I can't explain it but there's something in me...I can't leave it behind, I have to keep Jenna safe..I have to catch the man that killed her sister."

"I get that Lil,but we got nothing new here, this could all be some kinda joke."

"I know that but I've got this feeling..someone knows who killed Lorna..I can feel it.." she paused fighting back the tears they threatened to fall "I owe her justice Scotty...I have to put this to rest."

He placed a hand on her shoulder but she pulled away "This case really got to you didn't it? Wanna tell me why?"

"There's nothing to tell I just want to catch the bastard before he hurts someone else."

She was lying, he knew it but he wasn't going to push her, not just yet anyway.

"Can we get to work now?"

Lily turned and he followed her inside, he saw a brunette sitting at a table, she was easy on the eyes, he couldn't help but smile at her.

"Jenna this is my partner Scotty Valens."

"Wait where's Stevens?" she asked as she checked the new guy out.

"He's around but we work in different departments now."

"Oh..."

Jim Stevens had helped Lily work Lorna's case, Jenna trusted him, she wasn't sure she could trust the man standing before her now.

"You mind if I sit?" Scotty asked not waiting for a answer as he sat across from her.

Jenna studied his face, he had kind eyes, had the feel of a old soul, she suddenly felt a little stab of attraction and was afraid that she might blush.

"I need to ask you a few questions, if your up to it."

"I just want this over, so ask away."

"Has anything out of the ordinary happened lately?"

"You mean besides the letter?"

"Yeah, have you gotten any calls, noticed anyone following you?"

"No..not really."

Scotty kept on asking his questions, Lily wished that he would stop, each answer pulled her back into a past that she had tried so hard to escape from. She thought that if she ran far enough it wouldn't be able to catch her but Lorna's case brought it all back to life and it had taken Lily a long time to put in back in the prison she kept it locked in.

Shame was screaming at her, she wanted so badly to leave the room but she stood still and listened to the music the rain played outside the window.

It wasn't helping any, past demons were clawing at the inside of her head, they wanted out and she wasn't sure she had the strength to put them back if they escaped again.

"Stop it" she screamed at herself "It's not about him, I'm safe, he can't hurt me anymore."

She repeated it over and over like a broken record in her head, she hadn't heard the question Scotty asked.

"Lily, what's going on, you're shaking."

"No..nothing..I'm gonna go see if they found any prints."

She didn't wait for a response, she was going to break down and couldn't do it in front of him, Scotty would want to know why and she couldn't tell him, or anyone else.

A phantom loomed across the street, it was almost time to make the first move against his lovely Lily. He wasn't surprised to see her run from the house, things were coming back to life inside her and he knew why. She hid the secret from the people around her but she couldn't hide it from him.

He knew everything about her, things that she had long buried but the past had a way of digging its self out of the grave every now and then, Lily was about to find that out the hard way.

It was time to give her a clue, the game wasn't fun if she didn't play it at all.
