Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: If I said I owned them, I lied
Author's Note: Ok, I know that this chapter is short, but I really wanted to drop off where I did, it builds drama, but I do have the next chapter up, so be happy about that. Also, I'm not really sure what I wanna do next, I just have so many ideas swirling in my head. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!

Shannon sat in slightly darkened room inside the government building just outside of Westchester, New York. They had all been in custody for over an hour, and Shannon was going out of her mind. She had no idea what had happened to Scott or the kids. She leaned back in the chair and sighed. This was crazy. All of it.
The door opened and a man stepped in. He walked up to the front of the table that sat in front of Shannon. She couldn't believe who she was looking at. The thick, dark hair, the deep brown eyes, it was like he hadn't aged a day.
Alec Decovnie.
Alec had been just a detective the last time Shannon had seen him, over three years ago, driving away from her and their two year romance. Shannon smirked.
"Alec Decovnie. Don't you look all professional." She was refuring to the navy blue suit he was wearing, the kind of outfit the Alec she knew wouldn't have been caught dead in.
"You've come a long way from detective." She said. He smiled.
"I'm a Government Official now. When I found out you were here, I offered to take the case. Figured maybe you'd be more comfortable."
"It's a little late for that, Alec."
"I should have known you'd bring that up." He mumbled.
"Oh come on! It's been three years, I had to remind you. Ya know, in case you forgot."
"I didn't forget." He said more to himself, then to Shannon. Shannon let it drop. She knew he'd be changing subjects right about-
"So, you're in some trouble." -Now. She shrugged.
"And all this for your job." She raised an eyebrow. He hadn't just said that.
"Last time I checked, you were the one who decided that your job was more important then me."
Alec rolled his eye's in a 'here we go again' manor.
"Can we please get off that subject?" Shannon shrugged, signaling that she didn't care.
"Our records show that you have a son now." Shannon's eye's got wide. If they knew about Griffon...
"You leave him alone."
"I'm not making any promises. All you have to do is tell me what I want to know. Or, I bring," He looked at his file. "Griffon Scott Summers into the picture." Shannon wondered how they had dug all that up so fast. They had only had his name changed a week ago.
"Fine." Alec almost smiled.
"So you now work for a school for mutants?"
"Their kids." She paused.
"Just like we were."
