"Here is what the sketch artist came up with." After a week of waiting and nearly a week of work on the sketch, they finally had a face. Elizabeth showed Will.

"He's fairly young."

"I am already running it in our databases. He is going to turn up, I can feel it." Elizabeth said with a smile. Elizabeth's phone then rang. "Agent Swann."

"Elizabeth, it's your father." Elizabeth's eyes rolled in the back of her head.

"What do you want?"

"I want to have lunch with you, it is something of importance…it pertains to your case." Elizabeth's brows furrowed in confusion. "Meet me at The Watergate."

WEWE

Elizabeth strode into the Restaurant that was in the infamous Watergate. Her black pant suit fit in perfectly with the ritzy upper class aura that Elizabeth learned to live in, and completely disgust.

Elizabeth walked to the back of the restaurant where her father was seated with a few body guards. "Elizabeth, have a seat."

Elizabeth sat down and stared at her father. "What do you want?"

"Are you going to listen to me or badger me? It has something to do with your case."

Elizabeth's complexion paled. "What?"

"You heard me." The General sat back in his seat and smirked. "Are you going to listen?"

"Yes." Elizabeth felt like a child once again, but if he had any information…

"If you were angry at someone…but couldn't get to them…what would you do?" Elizabeth pondered his question. The answer came with such a force that Elizabeth nearly vomited.

"You go after the ones he loves." Elizabeth said in a whisper. "Are you saying he is killing these woman because of you? If he wanted to go after you, and went for me…why…"

"Cover up."

"By whom?" Elizabeth asked as she leaned across the table. "Who is trying to set you up?"

"I have no clue."

"Then how can you say that my attack had anything to do with you? Or any of these woman had anything to do with you? What proof do you have?"

The General shoved a file towards her. Inside was a list of names. "These men all have power…enough pull to go after me." Elizabeth looked at the name at the top of the list.

"The President of the United States!" Elizabeth yelped. "I can't go to my boss accusing the President of being a serial killer. This is ludicrous, your theory makes no sense, and you are trying to sabotage me knowing how bad I want this person! For you, this is low, but I shouldn't be surprised!" Elizabeth stood up knocking her chair back. The two body guards stood and nearly attacked Elizabeth as she placed her palms on the table and stared at her father. "You have been trying to control me since the attack…how do I know it wasn't you? How do I know that you didn't send one of your ghosts?"

"I didn't."

"And you would use me in anyway to help you. If I had gone with this story, I would have been seen as crazy, and thrown out of the Bureau, and that's what you wanted."

Her father's face flushed with anger. "What I want Elizabeth is you to put this silly notion that you will catch this murderer to rest! You passed the Bar, you could be a lawyer, anything than this! Your anger and determination makes me sick sometimes, just like your mother had all those years we were married! A woman should listen to a man and ask no questions!"

"You disgust me…" Elizabeth growled.

"And you disgrace me. Thank God you're not my daughter…" Elizabeth froze. The General stood and looked at her. "If you were mine, I would have had you committed years ago and thrown away the key. The only reason why you are still allowed to be with actual human beings is because of your mother, the philandering whore." The General marched out of the restaurant leaving Elizabeth sick and scared, and more alone than she had ever felt.

Will glanced at his watched and saw Elizabeth had been gone most of the day. Will grabbed his jacket and decided to look for her. The General came off as a bastard, and he didn't like the fact that he was bullying one of his Agents.

Will began walking to a park that lay to the side of the Hoover building and saw her. She was sitting on a bench staring out onto the trees.

"Elizabeth?" Will sat down next to her. She didn't seem to notice. He glanced at her hands and saw a cell phone. "Elizabeth? What happened?"

Elizabeth looked at him almost startled. "I don't know." She got up and began walking.

"Elizabeth, talk to me. Have you been out here all day?"

Elizabeth looked at him. "He's not my father."

Will looked at her, confused. "What?" Elizabeth then explained the whole scene. When she finished she looked like she would faint.

"Did you call your mother?"

"No…I couldn't." Elizabeth stared at Will. "I have to do this face to face."

"Then let's go." Will took her by the elbow and began walking to his car.

Evelyn Swann was startled when her daughter was announced at nearly eleven o'clock in the evening. "Elizabeth dear, what are you doing here?" Her mother rushed over to her daughter and sat down next to her on the plush sofa.

Will stood in the background, just watching, listening. "Mom, did you say anything to Dad…" Elizabeth halted. Evelyn Swann looked at the agony and pain in her daughter's eyes. "I had a talk with him today."

"What did that old fool say to you now?"

"He said he's not my father." Evelyn shook as if she had been hit. "Is it true?"

Evelyn glanced at the floor for a moment, and Elizabeth knew she had her answer, she knew when people were lying. "Why?" Elizabeth asked suddenly angry. "Why would you let me think he was my father?"

"Elizabeth you don't understand. In those days…"

"Do you know who my father is?"

"He died a few years ago in a car accident." Elizabeth stood up.

"I can't believe you! You let me think I was related to that cold hearted son of a bitch! You let me believe…you didn't even give me a choice…what if my real father wanted me!"

"I couldn't live without you Elizabeth! You're biological father certainly would have taken you…"

"From you and General Swann? How?" Elizabeth suddenly understood. "He had more pull than him? Who was he?"

"I can't tell you."

"Who was he?"

"No, I promised I would keep it a secret." Elizabeth had heard enough. She picked up her purse and walked out of the house with Will by her side…ignoring her mother's calls.

WEWE

"You're mother may be able to explain why she had been keeping this from you." Will said as he drove them home.

"She has never lied to me once…" Elizabeth shook her head. "I don't know who I am Will. I feel like my life has one big lie." Elizabeth grabbed her shoulder as it began to burn in pain. The anger, the stress, the pure hate she felt chipping away at her soul was beginning to take over her.

"Elizabeth, you know who you are." Will said as he pulled into his driveway.

"No I don't." Elizabeth got out of his car and walked up the stairs. Will followed her and sighed, another blow…she was a brilliant mind, she needed to keep her mind on track.

"Elizabeth your one of the most intelligent people I have working for me. Your smart, quick, and your gorgeous. Most people know who you are just by looking at you, your eyes glow in a kindness that is rarely seen anymore…" Will looked into her eyes.

"Who am I?" Elizabeth asked in near tears.

Will slipped his hand behind her neck and pulled her into a kiss. Elizabeth savored the heat, the passion, as her breath escaped her lungs. Will suddenly pulled away. "I shouldn't have done that."

"Will…I…"

"No, I am your boss, and friend, and I took advantage of you." Without another word, Will unlocked the door and stepped inside. Elizabeth stood there, the taste of him still lingering on her lips.
