A huge THANK YOU to LaNaniuska for the big help!

Unfortunately I own nothing but Alyson.

I tried to fix the dialogue in the previous chapters so the can be read easily.

Chapter 5 - The end

Three years and some months prior

Regina and her partner Graham were investigating murdered victim number seven. Seven women killed. Seven mothers taken away from their kids, and they didn't know why they that was happening. There was no logic behind the murders and there wasn't a regular time lapse; it could have been a week as well than a month, and the places were all different. The only things these women had in common was raven hair and a fair complexion and this scared the shit out of Regina, even if she didn't let it be seen.

Who was this guy, or woman for all they knew? And why he or she was doing this? It' has been five months since the first murder and they had nothing. Nada. Nulla. Rien. This person could shot from a great distance and with a great precision. There weren't a lot of people who could do that, if not someone from the special force, but they couldn't figure out who could be and this was driving them crazy. Regina couldn't remember the last time she spend time with her family without worrying about this psychopath.

Their boss, Ingrid Ardell, understood that it wasn't a simple case and it was difficult to get results and find a lead when there were no clues or witnesses; the real problem was their 'big boss', as they called him, Leopold Blanchard, always ready to criticize their work even if they were doing their best and always demanding updates and telling them they need to do more. It didn't help the fact that Blanchard always compared their work with his son-in-law's work. David Nolan was a good man and a good cop but he worked for the internal affairs so it was an unwritten rule that they had to detest him, sorry not sorry man.

"I need a coffee, or ten" Regina said, letting her head fall on her desk, "This case is destroying me" she added without lifting her head.

Graham looked up from his paperwork before letting out an undefined sound, "We could try to ask someone to bring us coffee"

"You are so lazy" she said, but he continued to talk ignoring her,

"Says the woman who wanted coffee but didn't get up to get it." Graham stops and then he starts to talk again "or we could just wait for your husband and your little baseball team to arrive at our desks with coffee and food."

"What?" Sure enough when Regina lifted her head from her desk, she saw her husband and her kids coming toward them.

"I brought coffee and the kids are bringing food!" Robin said, smiling at them while the kids were bunching on their feet with the food in their hands.

Graham and Regina hurried to close every file to make sure the kids didn't see anything. Robin then gave them their coffee and the food was put on a desk.

"You're a life savior!" Regina said, taking a sip of her coffee before opening her arms for the kids to eagerly step in.

"I have my moments" Robin replied before kissing her. He, as the kids, missed Regina at home, but he knew the importance of solving this case as fast as possible so he tried not to complain too much.

Graham just smiled at the scene playing in front of him while drinking coffee and eating donuts. He and Regina were the most cliche cops that could exist: they live on coffee and ate an unhealthy quantity of donuts and hamburgers. Plus, Regina was addict to Skittles so there was always a bag on her desk or in a drawer and everyone knew that if they valued their life, the best thing to do was not touch her Skittles.

They spent some time like this, talking and eating, with the two little boys in Regina's arms and the little girl in Robin's. After a while, Roland fell asleep, half on Regina and half on Henry and that was the signal for Robin that it was time to go.

"I'll try to be home at a decent hour, but I can't guarantee anything…" Regina said with despair in her voice. She missed her family and couldn't wait to finally finish this case to go back to her normal life.

"Don't worry about it, I can take care of the kids. You worry about finding this monster who is taking mothers from their kids. I'll see you later. Be careful both of you!" Of course Robin knows that there was no way Regina wouldn't worry about her kids, but he tried anyway to ease her mind.

And with that Robin left with a sleeping Roland and two bouncing twins, how ate too much donuts, while Graham and Regina went back to work.

Regina arrived at home later than she would have liked, the kids were already sound asleep and Robin was waiting for her on the couch with a glass of red wine and her dinner already heated up. Regina was sure he was an angel; she didn't know how many husbands or wives would have done this for their spouse: waiting up for them most nights and with dinner always ready.

Regina curled up against Robin while eating.

Why lasagna was always better the day after, she didn't know, but that leftover was amazing. They talked about her case, but there wasn't a lot to say so they just enjoyed the quiet and being together. Regina sat between Robin's legs with her back against his front.

This was their routine for a while and the only thing that changed was the time Regina got home: sometime she would ask Graham to cover for her and other times it was Graham who insisted that she went home since he didn't have anyone waiting for him. After his last girlfriend broke his heart, he decided to take a pause from love.

They finally found something after the ninth victim. Someone saw like a flash, a reflection on a roof. In his hurry the killer committed an error: he left behind a shell of a bullet; it wasn't a lot but it was a lead that allowed them to start looking in the firearms stores because now they knew what kind of weapon they were looking for. They would have done that sooner if the bullets weren't too damaged to allow that. They found something in the fourth firearms store: the suspect was indeed a man, light brown hair, blue eyes, almost 6ft tall. But they were still without a name.

Regina already feel terrible because she couldn't spend enough time with her family so every time a family's member of one of the victims asked for news and she had to give a negative answer, the situation only got worse. Nothing seemed to help her; talking to Robin, talking to Malvina, well Mal since her best friend literally hated her name, and even talking with the shrink wasn't helping. And the fact that sometimes they had to work on other cases that not always ended in a good way was just the icing on the cake.

They finally were able to give a name to the face. After the eleventh victim, they were able to frame the face of the man and found someone who could identify him. Jefferson, that was his name. He was like a ghost, there was nothing on him. But that was enough: they made sure people knew his face and his name and they also made sure people knew who to call if they saw him. It was a couple of days after they made sure his face and name where everywhere that they had another problem.

Jefferson didn't like the fact that the police knew his name and his face and the only reason why they know that was because of two nosy cops. He could easily kill both of them, but then he would have more people looking for him. He had a mission and the two nosy cops were just a bump in the road.

He was looking for his next target, another mother who didn't deserve that title, like his mother who seemed sweet and caring but she was exactly the opposite, or the mother of her sweet girl who decided to take his daughter away because she was scared of him. Like he could do something to his beautiful and sweet daughter. He could see them: they seem loving and amazing mothers but the reality was another; he knew that but nobody wanted to believe him. So he had a job to do. He didn't have to look a lot to find the next person, she was right there under his nose. After a bit of snooping around he discovered that the 'oh so great' detective Mills, who found out who he was, was also a mother and being a cop was the perfect cover, she seemed like the perfect detective, the perfect mother and wife but he knew better, he knew the truth, he knew it was all fake and she wasn't the mother those kids deserved. So he was going to fix that. He knew for sure that they would be better without her exactly as all the other children. And after taking care of all the other mothers, he would take care of his daughter's mother. She will pay for taking her away.

The first time he tried to kill her, he failed and it was all her partner's fault. To avoid the reflection of the sun on his rifle, he has decided to act at night and everything would have been good if it wasn't for a car and its lights. He had chosen that place because it was a road with almost no traffic but that car chose the wrong moment to pass. The lights hit his rifle in the moment he was about to shoot and so he was busted.

They were coming out the police station ready to go home and Graham didn't know why he stopped or why he looked up but thanks God for whatever motive he did that.

He heard the sound just before seeing the reflex and he yelled "Down!" while he pulled Regina down with him. They found cover behind a car and then they informed the other police officers of what had happened. Since nothing happened for a while, they decided to go back into the police station, where they would be safer.

"From where the hell was that thing coming!" Regina yells, to nobody because yes, she was angry, but not at the people in that room but to the bastard who tried to kill her. She was angry and, even if she wouldn't admit it, scared.

"From a roof a couple of blocks from here and that bullet was clearly for you." Graham said voicing what both of them were thinking. Regina was his next target and the only way to save her was by stopping him.

Regina thought of not saying anything to Robin but in the end she did. She called him telling him to come to the station, that something had happened and she need to talk to him without the kids.

When Robin arrived at the station, he found Regina in her boss's office and what she said when he entered the room made him become pale as a ghost:

"He found his next target."

That was all she said but for Robin it was enough to understand: she was the next one and tonight they went really close to losing her. He took her in his arms and held her tight. Regina wasn't one for PDA, but in this moment, she needed it.

"What's our next move?" Robin asked. He was in a desperate need to do something; he just couldn't stay there and do nothing.

Everybody in the room, from the detectives to their boss, stayed quiet. After a couple of minutes, it was Graham the one who answered: "That bastard won't stop until he's dead so there's only one thing to do: stop that son of bitch. We know his only targets are women so you and the kids are safe, Robin." But it wasn't like that piece of information really reassured Robin.

"And then? We are safe but Regina isn't. How can you guarantee that she won't get kill while you try to stop him? She's still alive only because you saw something and moved her from the trajectory of the bullet. And thank God for that but what about the next time?" Robin was scared but was trying in every way to mask it, the only problem was that he was covered his fear with anger.

This time, it was Regina the one who spoke: "If you are suggesting that I have to go into hiding, Robin, you can forget about it. I won't hiding. I'll try to not put myself in unnecessary danger, that I can do, but I'm not going to hide. And that's final!"

"Really Regina! And if he kills you? Then what? We have three kids at home."

"Thanks Robin for reminding me we have three kids, I didn't remember. Even a car crash could kill me. Listen Robin" -Regina took a deep breath before she continued to speak- "I know this man is dangerous, but if we don't stop him he'll continue to kill. He could kill me, yes, but after me there would be someone else. We need to stop him not only for me but also for every other woman out there. It's not fair towards them, we need to make sure that they have a change as well." Robin just stared at her, but he knows she was right, so he didn't say anything.

"If he is smart as we think, he won't try anything any time soon. He will wait, make us think he changed his mind. We can find a way to stop him, but right now the only thing you all need to do is go home and rest." Ingrid said before dismissing everybody while sitting down at her desk.

"You too boss. No need to sleep in the office again when we all have amazing beds at home. And those beds might have some good looking friend in there so… See you all tomorrow." John said trying to break a bit of the tension and he did, hearing a chuckle from everyone and a glare from his boss. John was a big man with a terrible sense of humor but if you needed a good laugh, he was the right person. And that big man loved two things more than anything: his computers, in fact he is the computer genius of the team, and food, if his big form gives anything away. For that reason, his friends call him Little John, since he was anything but little.

With that, they all went home. If you asked Graham, he would deny it but he followed Robin and Regina home just to be sure. She's his partner after all.

Jefferson was furious: not only was she still alive, but now that he tried to kill a cop and failed, he would have all departments on his heels. His job just became harder, but not impossible. He just needed to change his plan. He couldn't try to kill detective Mills again, not so soon, they would expect that. No, he would wait and then he will hit when they least expected it. In the meantime, he might also find another mother who needed a lesson, he knew there were so many out there. Yes, that was a perfect plan: wait, try again and succeed. Then change cities, maybe even State, and continue the job.

Robin and Regina left the station very late and when they arrived home, they found the kids asleep in their bed. It was something they did when both parents were out late: snuggle in the big bed with the littlest of the Mills-Locksley siblings between the oldest siblings. Normally, they would have taken them to their beds, but tonight they didn't have the heart to do it. They paid and thanked the sitter, got ready for bed and got in, Regina next to Alyson and Robin next to Henry with their hands tied together over the three kids. Sleep didn't come easily and Robin and Regina spent the majority of the night looking at their kids.

The following weeks were spent with Regina and everyone else always looking behind their backs. They decided to not tell to their family what had happened, it would only scare them, and there was no use in that.

Robin's parents visited a week after the fact and at the question of what was wrong, they answered they were tired because of work and that everything was fine.

The Hatter, as the media call him, since he always hit in the head, didn't try anything again towards Regina, but instead he killed another mother, following the scheme the detective thought he would follow. But this time there wasn't only the mother, but also the daughter with her. Normally he would hit when the women were alone, they didn't like this evolution one bit. It was a dangerous step.

'The Hatter' It was appropriate, Jefferson thought while he was cleaning his rifle. After all he always aims at the head. He has taken a bold decision today, he knew that, but that woman was always with her daughter glued to her hip so he had to act anyway. The little girl would be scared for a while but then she would be fine.

Another victim, the twelfth. Why they couldn't catch this bastard? They were already feeling like shit and the presence of Blanchard, who was going on about how they were doing a terrible job and how they should have already captured Jefferson, didn't help. The only thing Regina wanted to do was go home, cry for a bit under her blankets and then stay with her kids. Graham wanted to go home to get drunk, so drunk that he would forget his name. Philip wanted to finally spend some time with his wife. Kristoff and John couldn't wait to go to a bar to see who was able to find more girls in a night. Mulan couldn't wait to go back to her strange hobby: swords. But for now, they couldn't do it. Graham, Regina, Mulan, Kristoff, Philip and John decided one thing: at the end of the case all the team would have gone to the house of one of them and get terribly drunk. They deserve it.

But things not always go as they think.

He decided to wait until after Thanksgiving, he would let them celebrate, let them think they were safe and then he would hit. He was really a genius, he thought. But things didn't go according to plan for Jefferson as well.

"We have him!" Mulan said entering in the room, "Don't ask me how because I can't explain it, but John was able to find him!"

"So? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" but as always, Kristoff never thought about the fact that they needed a plan. Going in without one would be a suicide mission. Before going in you always need a way to get out.

"Wait, we can't go in without a plan." Philip, the voice of reason of the group, said "We need to look at perimeter, check some escape routes and block them, find the best way to enter and… Really I have to tell everything we need to do?"

"There's no need." Ingrid intervened. "We all know what we need to do. Let's stop him."

They made a plan, checked the entrance and the exit, found security cameras that could help them and then they left.

Robin answered at the third ring: "Hey beautiful, not that I don't like hearing your voice but… it's everything okay?"

"Hi handsome. Of course it's okay. Why wouldn't be?" But Robin knew better and Regina replies, "We found where the Hatter is hiding and we are going there. I just wanted to let you know and…" Regina didn't finish the sentence but Robin knew 'and I wanted to talk to you in case something goes wrong. "Well I have to go now. I love you and tell the kids I love them.

"I love you too and the kids too. Regina… Be careful, all of you. Bye."

Jefferson didn't know how they were able to find him, but they did, but he was ready for them and most important, he was ready for her.

When the team arrived, the place was strangely quiet. They saw no movement with the cameras. They all had a strange sensation, the negative vibrations that make you want to stay in your safe place and not out there. But they soon discovered that there was nothing quiet about that place. There were traps everywhere, some of them they were able to deactivate and other almost hit them.

They continued to go further in without too many problems, but when they reached the center of the building, the real problems began. The room at the center was full of weapons. Bullets were shot from everywhere so they found cover and waited for the blast of bullets to stop.

Jefferson had thought of everything: hiding, waiting for them to enter and then jump out and hit them. And his plan worked out perfectly: he was able to hit two of them and one of them was his target, he couldn't be happier, but he needed to leave. The occasion presented itself when the other cops focused on the ones that were hit.

Everything after that happened really fast. After the end of the blast, they waited for a moment, then they entered the room: Kristoff first, then Mulan, Philip, Graham and Regina. But as soon as they went in, Jefferson jumped out from his hiding spot and hit two of them: Philip and Regina were down.

Against everything that had been taught to them Mulan, Graham and Kristoff only focused on Philip and Regina and they didn't try to stop Jefferson from escaping.

They called for help, they applied a pressure on the wounds to try to stop the bleeding, they talked to them encourage them to not give up and they waited for the ambulances.

When they arrived at the hospital, they didn't talk to anyone; they knew they need to leave a statement, but right now they just wanted to be left alone while waiting for news on their friends.

In the meantime, Blanchard and Ingrid arrived at the hospital, the latter with the family members of the injured agents, Philip's wife Aurora and Robin.

Aurora sat near Ingrid and another detective while Robin sat near Regina's colleagues. He didn't blame them, he knows it's the work. An hour later Zelena joins Robin. She was working when she heard that two cops were just brought in and were bad injured. She always checked the names to make sure her sister was not one of those cops, but when she saw her name she went where she knew everybody would be waiting for news. She sat down next Robin, she took his hand in hers but they didn't talk.

The last to arrive was John, who said that he decided to stop to take coffee and something to eat for everyone. And now they have to wait.

What all of them didn't know was that Blanchard had already thought to the next move. Jefferson was on the run and while they were sure that he would never try to kill Philip again, the same couldn't be said about Regina. So after talking with the Marshals, he decided that Regina would have gone under the witness protection. He also talked to the doctors to tell them what would have to happen after the surgery. Regina's family will be devastated but it was the only option. If Regina should die under surgery, there would be no problem; none of them would be in danger again because of Jefferson. But if Regina should survived and went back to work, they all would be in danger again, Regina and her family included. With his idea Regina would be able to come back once Jefferson would be caught.

The first surgeon that come out after four hours was the one the operated Philip. He was okay, but he would need a lot of physical therapy for his arm. Jefferson was able to hit him in the arm three times and do a lot of damage.

It was another three hours before the surgeon who operated Regina came out. And he didn't need to talk, his face told everything they need to know: Regina didn't survive. Robin asked to see her, but the doctor advised against it. This statement should have made all of them think, it wasn't normal, they should at least let Robin see her, so why the doctor didn't let them see her? But right now they were too devastated to really think about it.

With a imperceptible nod towards Blanchard, the doctor left the room. He wasn't happy about this plan but he was ordered to do it.

Robin's world just collapsed on itself. Regina was dead. His friend, best friend, wife and mother of their children was dead. He couldn't believe it. How the hell he was suppose to tell it to the kids? Roland was only three and the twins seven, they needed their mother.

Everyone reacted in a different way: someone went out, other stayed where they were, Graham punched the wall but no one dared say anything, Zelena was crying silently and Robin was just standing there.

He didn't know how much time passed by or what happened, but at some point he was home and he had to face his children, but for now they were still at school. Zelena said she would talk with her mother and stepfather so Robin could focus on the kids.

Zelena went to her mother's home and waited for her stepfather to be with her mother. She only said a sentence but that sentence and the fact that she had tears in her eyes told everything: 'Something had happened to Regina…' The only reason why her mother didn't fall was because Robert caught her.

The first to arrive home was Roland who was with Ruby, Will's girlfriend, as usual. Roland didn't really focused on the fact that his father was crying but Ruby did. Words weren't needed. She hugged him and told him how sorry she was and that if he needed anything, he only had to ask. Sooner or later he would have to face everyone but now he needs to focus on the children.

Robin was watching Roland playing in the garden when the twins arrived home and got out from the schoolbus.

"What's going on? Why are you already home? Why are you crying?" Aly asked. The seven years old realized right away that something was wrong.

"Come on, let's go in." Robin said picking up Roland. And so they did and they all sat on the couch. This was going to be so difficult.

"What's going on daddy?"

"What happen to mommy?" Aly and then Henry asked. Robin looked at them through wide eyes. How they did know?

"You're crying dad. You never cry." Henry's eyes were full of tears but he was trying to not let them fall as he continue to speak "If something had happened to someone else mommy would be here, but she's not so…" Henry couldn't finish the sentence so his sister did:

"What happen to her daddy? Tell us please!" She said crying.

"You know how mommy was looking for a bad man. Her, Graham and the other had found him today. Alyson, Henry, Roland your mommy… Your mommy died today."

"What?" the twins said "No… no… but… but…"

"She was hurt real bad, the doctors tried their best but…" Robin took his children in his arms and hugged them tightly.

And then Roland spoke for the first time "When mommy home?" And if Robin was trying to not cry, this question made all his attempts go to hell.

"Mommy is not coming home Roland. Do you remember what happened to Candy?" Robin asked and Roland nodded. Candy was the neighbor's cat who died a couple of weeks before. In this case, it was Regina who explained Roland what had happened: the cat went to heaven with the stars.

"Go to heaven." Roland said quietly.

"Yes Roland, mommy went to heaven with the stars."

"No no mommy, I want mommy! I want mommy! Mommy!" Roland began to scream and sob.

To that Robin, gathered his children in his arms as they all cried together.

The funeral was three days later. Everybody told him to leave the kids home but Robin thought it was better if they came with him, for him it was the right thing to do. For the twins it was clear what was happening but for Roland, not so quite.

Everybody were there: Zelena, her daughters and her husband, her mother, her stepfather, her stepbrother, Robin's parents and brother, all they friends and family and a lot of cops, not only Regina's unit but also cops from other units.

Zelena was trying to be strong for her mother, right now it was her who needed Zelena more, even if she was dying inside. Her little sister was dead, her other half, her partner in crime. But she couldn't allow herself to broke down, she would do it later at home after putting to bed her daughters and when only her husband could see her.

After the funeral they all went to Will's bar. They talked, they ate, someone did a little speech and they drank, who more who less. Every member of Regina's team came to Robin to give their condolences. They were obviously really shocked about what had happened, but Graham was the one who had it worst. He was blaming himself, saying it was his fault that she was hit. But they all know the truth: they fell into an ambush.

Robin's parents offered to take the kids, but Robin wanted them close. They went home and they snuggled together. That night they all slept in the 'big bed' as the kids called it and, they continued to do that for almost a week before Robin was able to coax them in their own beds. But even if the twins had their room often Robin would find Henry in Aly's room or Aly in Henry's room; they couldn't sleep alone even if they tried. One night when Robin went to check the kids before going to sleep, he found three empty beds. Opening his bedroom's door he found the children asleep, all three of them on Regina's side of the bed: they said it smelled like their mother, like apple, caramel and cinnamon.

After two weeks of nightmares from all the four of them, Robin decided it was time they all talked with someone, so he made an appointment for him and the kids with doctor Hopper, a psychologist.

It would take a long time, but they needed to find a new normality. Roland often asked for his mother and every time they told him that she won't come back, he started sobbing. The twins usually full of life were too quiet for two seven years old. Robin was trying his best too, but sometime he needed to get away for a while because he needed to let all his frustration out and he couldn't do it in front of the children. So the family would take turns to stay with the kids when Robin reach the danger level.

Robin didn't know it, but this would be their new normality for the next three years.

…

When Regina woke up, she was a bit confused about where she was and what had happened. When her eyes adjusted to the light of the room, she realizes that she was in a hospital room. But how she got there? She tried to recall the previous events, but the only thing she could remember was that they found where Jefferson was and then nothing, she couldn't remember anything else.

A nurse came in, she didn't say anything, she just checked something on a display and left. It was all strangely silent, too silent for a hospital.

After what it seemed like hours, three men came in: one was the big boss and the other two she didn't know.

"Regina I'm happy to see you're finally awake." Blanchard said.

"Finally awake? How long I was out? Where's Robin? What happened? Why I'm here? Who are they?" She might be only wakes up but she didn't like to be left in the dark.

"Slow down, one question at time. We are in a private hospital, away from prying eyes. You've been out four days. You and your team fell into an ambush and you and Philip were hit." Then he stopped and took a deep breath before continuing, "Philip is alright but you, you are dead." Blanchard answered. And what? She was dead?

"What are you talking about? How can I be dead when…" but she was interrupted.

"Jefferson escaped and he already tried to kill you twice, so four days ago you died under surgery. Your funeral was yesterday. Since then you are under witness protection. And when you'll be clear to travel, this two fine men will bring you to your new house." He said all of this like it was normal and Regina couldn't believe her ears.

"NO! No way! I'm not doing it! I'm not going to abandon my family! Let me go, I have to see them!" Regina yells at the nurse who was trying to sedate her. "NO! No! No… no…" she said as the sedative took effect.

The next time Regina woke up it was already dark outside and Blanchard was in the room.

"Are you ready to listen without going crazy now or I need to call the nurse again?" Regina nodded.

"What alternative do I have? You already took everything from me when you made this decision." she said quietly. Her whole family believed that she was dead. There was no coming back from that.

"I did this to prevent you from losing everything. You're going into witness protection, you'll have a new identity and a new job. You're going to stay there until we catch Jefferson. And when this happens, because it will happen, you'll be free to come back."

"Come back to what? And when? Who knows how much time would be needed to capture him. Weeks? Months? Or years? Knowing how Jefferson is, I'm more inclined to the latter. And after that, what? I come back to my family like nothing had happened? It doesn't work like that, we're not in a movie. There's no guarantee that I'll be able to come back. My son could not remember me and the other two and Robin would hate me. My only consolation is that they will be safe and hopefully they would move on. They need to." The last statement made Blanchard's eyes go widen.

"You want your husband to move on knowing you could come back?"

"'Could' is the key word. With no guarantee I want him to be happy, even if it's without me, even if it will be another woman that my kids will call mommy and Robin calls wife." She didn't cry while saying all of this even if she was broken inside, her walls up to the max. "Who knows about all of this? Where I'll be going?"

"Just me and the marshals for the witness protection. I have no idea where they will take you, for your safety and mine."

"Can I ask something before my life will be completely deleted?" Blanchard nods, "I want photos of my family: my husband, my kids, my sister and nieces, my parents and my brother. Just one of all of them. I know it could be dangerous but I need something to look to remind me why I need to do all of this."

"I'll see what I can do. Good luck." and with that he left the room and Regina wouldn't see that man again for the next 3 years.

A week later, her new life begins: Blanchard was able to find the photos she asked for and he gives them to the marshal that took her to Portland, where she would live as Roni Garcia in a little apartment near a diner where she would have work for the next three years, until a call made her come back to her life.

Please leave a review, it would make my day know what to think! Constructive criticisms are always welcome!
