This fic is going to have everybody in it - just like the show!

I really need to get some reviews people, I really need to know if this is any good at all

And now... on with the story...

Part 3

It was pretty late in the evening when Tom Finally found himself in the familiar lobby of the 4400 center. He was tiered and frustrated, having spent the last 4 hours at the tech room as Marco and his geek- brigade analyzed the footage from the convenient store security camera frame by frame.

"Agent Baldwin" a familiar voice startled him out of his reverie and he quickly plastered on a smile and turned around to greet the young woman.

Isabelle.

No matter how many times he'd seen her in the last couple of months - he still could not get used to it. He still remembered those first few weeks after NTAC found out about her sudden "growth sprout". He remembered the looks on Lilly and Richard's faces - poor people - they were so shell shocked and confused. Most parents have a few years to get used to the idea of their baby becoming a teenagers, most parents have time to adjust - those two poor people woke up one day with a full fledge teenager. And to make matters even more complicated - a teenager with psychic super powers! Both the center and NTAC preformed every test they could think of - nothing gave them any explanations, everything came back normal - but for some reason he still found the girl's presence…well…somewhat creepy.

"Are you here to see Shawn?" she asked sweetly

"Yes. Is he still in?"

"I think he retired for the night - but I'll take you up to see him"

They rode the elevator in silence and soon Tom found himself in front of Shawn's door while Isabelle knocked. A moment later Shawn appeared in the doorway and Isabelle excused herself, disappearing down the hall.

"I still can't get used to that" Tom said after they greeted each other, motioning in the direction where Isabelle went.

"Tell me about it" Tom sighed, smiling slightly "One minute I'm taking her for a walk in her stroller and the next minute she's all grown up and naked at my dining room table"

"Naked?" Tom chocked out "You never told me about her being naked!"

"I thought it was best to keep that little bit of information to myself" Shawn shrugged "I think Richard and Lilly were freaked out enough as it was…without knowing about a guy seeing their daughter naked!"

"Good point" Tom nodded with a small smile.

He watched as Shawn sat down on the couch, closing and arranging the open files on the coffee table, suggesting that even in this late house he was still working before Tom interrupted him. For a second Tom allowed himself to think of all the changes Shawn had gone through these past two years. He went from being in high-school to being the leader and the face of an entire organization, a whole movement. Tom couldn't imagine the pressure his young nephew must be under. He knew that he was about to add to that pressure - and it made him hate the whole situation even more.

"Listen Shawn, there's something I need to tell you" he started hesitantly "But you have to promise me this will stay between us - at least for now?"

"What is it uncle Tommy?"

Tom sighed and sat down "A guy came in today; he owns a grocery store downtown. Yesterday he saw this guy outside his store, looking like a homeless person or a beggar. He was worried the guy might chase away the clients so he went out and yelled at him and the guy ran away"

"I don't get it?" Shawn frowned "Was he a 4400?"

"Yes" Tom took a deep breath before going on "We think it was Jordan Collier"

"Jordan's dead, Tom…" Shawn shook his head in confusion

"I know, believe me, I know. But we checked the surveillance tapes from outside the store, we ran facial recognition software and analyzed it over and over again" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a picture, handing it over to Shawn "It's either Jordan or his long lost twin brother, cause this guy looks exactly like him"

Diana sat in her living room with a glass of red wine in her hand, Both Collier's file and the Morgan file were open on the coffee table in front of her. She picked up the photograph of Jordan Collier that was taken at the grocery store and studied it carefully. She was so immersed in the photo, she didn't hear Maya come up behind her until the little girl spoke.

"That's the guy who died isn't it?"

"Maya? What are you doing out of bed?"

Maya just shrugged and came over to sit next to her, cuddling at her side. "He's back isn't he?"

"Well, we don't know for sure yet" she hesitated about revealing any information that might upset her daughter, but then again, she knew better than to try and hide anything from a child who can see into the future.

"He is" Maya said knowingly, and Diana realized that she might know more about this than she thought "But he's not the same anymore…it will take time for him to come back but he will… he has to"

"Why is that sweetie?"

"Because he's important, we're going to need him pretty soon" Maya shrugged again, looking closely at the picture that Diana was still holding. Diana looked at her for a few seconds - it still amazed her every time - that a girl this small and innocent could have so much knowledge, so much insight

"Maya" she started hesitantly "remember a few month ago when you said that it wasn't over? That the war is just starting? What did you mean by that?"

"Someone is coming, someone is going to try and hurt us…"

"The 4400? Someone is going to try and hurt you?"

"Yes" Maya said quietly, her voice had no fear in it, hardly any emotion, just s simple stating of facts "It's why we were brought back here to begin with… to fight the war"

Diana wanted to keep asking more questions but suddenly the phone rang, and as she reached over to pick it up, Maya rose to her feet and went back to her bedroom.

"What are you talking about? I can't tell anyone?" Shawn said angrily as he paced the room, his mind racing a million miles an hour.

Jordan is back, Jordan is alive, Jordan is back

his mind kept flashing to these words over and over again. Like a broken record playing inside his head as he tried to process the information "We have to tell people, get the public involved! Maybe someone has seen him…"

Tom sighed, he couldn't blame Shawn for his anger, In fact, he had the exact same conversation a few hours earlier with Jarvis and Diana - with him yelling and demanding that the public be involved. Though, he had to admit, that he had completely different reasons for wanting to do so.

"Shawn, listen to me" he tried to calm the young man down "We can't tell anyone just yet. Not until we know what's going on!"

"So what? I should just let NTAC deal with this?" Shawn spat angrily "Trust you to find him? Cause we all know how much you cared for the guy!"

"Hey! That's enough!" Tom yelled back, rising to his feet "You think I don't want to find this guy? I do! And more than anything I want this guy to be Jordan Collier! In case you forgot, my son, your cousin, is about to stand trial for killing this guy - and if he's alive than that trial is never going to happen! They can't charge Kyle for killing a man that is still alive…"

Shawn bowed his head, his anger evaporating. He didn't think about that, about what this could mean for Kyle. He felt embarrassed for going off on Tom like that. He opened his mouth to apologized but Tom just placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing slightly, letting him know that he understood.

"Besides" Tom continued a few moments later, his tone calm again "People would just get freaked out. You think the see you as a cult now? Wait until they hear that you have your very own Messiah, resurrected from the grave! Shawn there are people out there, people in powerful places, who are just looking for any excuse to bring the 4400 down - we can't give the anymore ammunition right now!"

Shawn nodded silently and Tom leaned lower, catching his eyes and looking straight into them "I'll find him Shawn! If he's out there - I'll find him"

The moment was interrupted when Tom's phone rang and he stepped back a few paces to answer it.

"Tom, it's Diana. I just got a call from the mental institution"

"What happened?" In all the commotion around Jordan Collier's sudden return he completely forgot about the young girl he met earlier that day.

"The FBI took over the case from Boston police, they found out Lexa was here and 5 agents barged into her room and tried to arrest her. She freaked, they had to sedate her again"

"Jesus! Who do they think they are?" Tom spat in anger and disbelief

"The Doctor kicked them out for now. Jarvis is making some calls, trying to get them to back off. I'm going to swing by the hospital for a while - see if there is anything I can do to help…"

He nodded and hung up the phone. When he turned, Shawn was looking at him with a questioning look.

"It's not about Collier" he assured him "it's just this girl, she's a 4400, apparently she can enter people's heads. Not exactly read minds - more like see everything they're seeing, experience everything the experience, see all their memories…"

"Sounds powerful"

Tom snorted, remembering the frail image of the girl he saw that afternoon "Right now, she's seeing into the mind of an extremely vicious serial killer, She's scared to death, she's loosing her grip on reality" Tom started heading for the door and Shawn followed, showing him out, as they continued talking "she locked herself up in a mental ward so they can pump her full of drugs - trust me, she's not feeling very powerful right now"

Shawn nodded his understanding and said nothing. He remembered all too well what it's like to be a 4400 when your power kick in.

"Maybe you can help?" Tom suddenly had an idea "Send one of the 4400 you have on staff over to see her? It might help, letting her know she's not alone!"

"Not a problem…" Shawn nodded and opened the door for Tom "Anything I can do to help…"
