A/N: This chapters contains some very negative thoughts about gay people. These are NOT my opinions, it is how the fictive character thinks. I'm not against gay people at all, that would be silly from my point of view ;)

Chapter 23: Beginnings and endings

Erica Daniels was lying in bed, staring into the darkness. She knew her father was lying in the bed next to her, but the room was so dark, she couldn't see him. They had been on the run ever since the robbery had gone wrong. When they were on stakeout near the crime scene, her dad had seen something shocking to him. One of the cops, or crime scene investigators as they are called nowadays, had scared the hell out of him. That night he had told her who he was scared of and why, it had shocked her and now she couldn't sleep.

She turned around to listen to the sounds on the hallway, it seemed a whole battalion was marching through the hall. Suddenly the noises stopped, Erica sat up and quickly hid herself. She had felt bad things were coming, and she was right.

There was a knock on the door. Erica had climbed out of the window and was standing outside now. She had made her bed and had put her things in a rucksack that was on her back now. She wasn't going to let herself get caught, she was going to get those crime scene investigators. She heard her father groan as he slowly got up, and shouted at the door that he was coming already.

Before her father even reached the door, it was slammed open and at least 10 armed cops entered the room and surrounded her father. Erica moved away from the window and was now standing on a ledge, she moved carefully to the next window, which was open and got in. At least she got away, she hoped they would be harsh on her father, because that's what he deserved.

"Mr. Daniels, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will be, used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, and if you don't have money for that we will assign one to you"

The words took a while to sink in for him. He couldn't believe he cot caught, after all those years. He was sure it was his daughter who was responsible for this, that bitch. He raised her for 12 years and this is the thanks he got?

He was cuffed in a not so gentle way and lead outside. He didn't even get the time to dress himself, when he asked about that, the detective told him he would get a nice suit at the station as he smiled at him with a sly grin. Brass was his name, it was on his badge. He would remember that, if he ever got out, his daughter and Brass would regret ever being involved in this case. They would regret even thinking about playing him for a fool.

He didn't even think about the woman who was now in the room next to them, the woman who got away, the same woman who swore revenge on the ones that did this to her father. Erica Daniels loved her father and her life style. Why work if you can get money with getting way less tired? Erica dropped out of law school to join her father in making money for the family. She had never known about a sister until her father told her tonight, and she would do EVERYTHING to destroy her cocky sister's life.

He was lead out of the hotel and all he could do was laugh. Those police people were in for it! They would regret ever disturbing the Daniels family! And Evelyn, well she would regret ever being part of the Daniels family, she would regret being born. She would finally feel like the useless bitch she was.

Greg had cracked the case, he had found out where Evelyn's father was hiding. He had called Brass, who didn't believe him at first, to tell him about what he found. Brass had gotten a team together and they were ready to go.

Greg had been waiting at the lab for Brass' call, he couldn't wait to be able to call Evelyn to say it was all over. He as so concentrated on thinking about what to say to Evelyn, he almost fell of his chair when his phone rang.

"Sanders"

"We got him" was the only thing Brass told him.

"And the sister?"

"He was alone in the room, there was no indication of anyone else there. She is still out there" Brass said.

"Thanks for calling" Greg said before hanging up. He sighed, he so wanted to call Evelyn with the good news, but now he would be the bringer of bad news too.

Greg dialled Sara's number, waiting for her to answer.

Sara Sidle was very busy when her phone rang. She heard the sigh of disappointment of her lover, or maybe it was hers, she couldn't really tell. Her ears had been buzzing from the excitement so her hearing wasn't optimal.

"Sidle" she said when she crawled of her lover and picked up the phone.

"Sara, it's Greg. Can you give the phone to Evelyn please?" Greg sounded so excited Sara immediately gave the phone to her lover.

"It's for you" she said with a smile. She crawled back on top of Evelyn and showered her lover's neck with kisses.

"Yes?" Evelyn said, trying to sound as normal as possible.

"Your father was just arrested" Greg said.

Evelyn's smile broadened "That is great news! What about the other suspect?" she couldn't get the word sister out of her throat.

"He was alone" Greg sighed.

Evelyn could hear the disappointment in Greg's voice, he was really worried for her. She just knew he had done his best.

"Great work Greg, I'm sure we will find her soon" she replied, trying to cheer up her colleague.

"Can you tell Sara we need her here at the lab?"

"I will Greg, and thanks again" Evelyn said before hanging up.

"Baby, I'm going to have to disappoint you. They caught my father and you are needed at the lab. But I promise you that this.." she pointed at her naked body "will be waiting for you when you get back"

Sara chuckled and smiled. She looked her lover deep in the eye. "Are you ok?" she asked, wondering why the news hadn't affected Evelyn.

"I'm fine baby. I just hope you will catch the other suspect soon. Then I can really get on with my life" Evelyn said before gently kissing Sara. "I love you, go nail him for me ok?"

Sara crawled off her lover and smiled "I will baby." She could see the slight disappointment in Evelyn's eyes that she didn't say I love you back, but she wasn't ready. It would be weird to say that now after what happened with Catherine.

Sara quickly got dressed and rushed off to the lab, leaving Evelyn alone in bed. This time Evelyn didn't mind being left alone, she was going to do something special for when Sara came back. She took a shower and starting cooking a delicious meal for her lover and herself. Her mood was a lot better already, if her father was caught, the other suspect would follow soon. Her father was dumb, always was, always will be, and if his other daughter helped him in his crimes, she must be just as dumb as their father.

Sara looked through the window and saw him sitting there. Evelyn looked remarkably like her father, which was eerie in a way. She wondered if she should tell Evelyn that, since Evelyn told her she had no idea what her parents looked like now. But then again, maybe her lover didn't want to know. She entered the interrogation room.

"Good evening Mister Daniels. I am Sara Sidle with the crime lab"

"Where is my daughter?"

That remark surprised Sara, she hadn't expected that he knew his daughter worked at the lab. It took Sara a while to answer, and the suspect got impatient.

"Where is Evelyn? I've seen her at the crime scene, I want to talk to her."

"She is no longer working on the case Mister Daniels, because she was personally involved" Sara said in a harsh tone of voice. "Can you tell me where you were last Thursday?"

"I'm not talking. I want to talk to my daughter" the suspect said crossing his arms in front of his chest to empower his point.

"That is impossible Mister Daniels. If you tell us what happened, we might be able to arrange something with the DA. Evelyn can visit you in jail"

"Jail?" the man almost shouted out.

"Yeah jail, the place you are going to spend a long time" Brass said cynically. He already hated this man, especially because he was Evelyn's family.

"I'm not going to jail, I'm innocent!"

"If you are so innocent, then how do you know your daughter was at the crime scene" Sara shot at the man, who clearly looked like she just busted him.

"Ok, I was there, but I was alone"

"You can't bullshit us, we found a hair of your other daughter, we know she was there too" Brass said, he was losing his patience.

"And how do you know that hair didn't fall of my clothes you moron" the suspect shot back.

Sara sighed, this was going to be a long night.

Evelyn was in the kitchen, cooking dinner, when there was a knock on the door. She wondered who it could be, Sara had the keys, she wouldn't knock right? And she didn't think she would see Catherine anytime soon. She felt really bad for not defending Catherine as she should have, maybe she should call Catherine later.

Another knock on the door stopped her train of thought. Evelyn dried her hands and walked to the door. She didn't know the blonde woman standing in front of her, but a nasty feeling in the pit of her stomach indicated she did know who it could be. Evelyn just stood there, staring at a smaller, more blonde version of her.

"Aren't you going to let me in?" the blonde woman said.

"Erm, no, I don't think that's a good idea. You should turn yourself in" Evelyn said, closing the door.

A foot stopped Evelyn from closing the door totally and Erica pushed so hard against the door it hit Evelyn's head. Evelyn fell backwards and hit her head on a table, she was unconscious.

Erica looked at her older sister and sighed. "What a wuss" she mumbled as she closed the door. She lifted her sister up and placed her on the couch. She inspected the apartment, checking all the picture frames. Her sister lived together with a woman, it was the woman she and her father had seen at the crime scene as well. She was a fucking lesbian, her own sister was a dyke. She realised her father was very right to dump Evelyn somewhere when she was little, who would want a dyke in the family?

When she was about to inspect the bedroom and bathroom, she heard Evelyn groan. She drew a gun and walked towards the couch she had put her sister on.

She pointed the gun at Evelyn, who sat up and looked at her with big eyes.

"So, finally we meet!" Erica said sarcastically, aiming at Evelyn's head. "Let's end this painful situation before it even begins!"
