Thanks for the support everyone!

If you think that Vincent is gonna have it easy, then you're wrong and no, chapter three is not an error, it's Vincent's dream at the begining and a little spoiler from the future. So, I'm sorry to those who believed it was chap two.

...

Pain was everywhere, he could feel it. He couldn't see anything because of the pitch black, but he could hear all the whiplashes slaming his back. His hands suspended and tied up with a solid cord hanging up at the air, Vincent felt his strength vanishing on its own like screams were coming out. His own screams. The beast was dying inside of him, he couldn't get him out like it was supposed to in tough situations like these.

It wasn't the person who was throwing whiplashes, tearing up the flesh of his back that was making him weak, it was something else. Vincent squeezed his eyes shut as his fists were tighten up, like they were the ones in pain.

However, that pain wasn't that worse than any pain when it came to Catherine, since he had believed that he had lost her. Ever since that day in the dungeon, he felt different, it's like all the emotions he tried to forget, were all coming back in one piece because of Catherine. Before, they went to their separate ways, he had said something that if things were reversed, it would have been difficult, way terrible for him to endure someone's death. Excpecially, someone very close to you.

I don't know what I would do, if something happened to you too..

If Catherine had been in Tori's place, he was sure for one thing; he wouldn't survive it, couldn't even bear it, if that would ever happen in the near future.

He wanted to go back to her, however he needed some space, both of them, needed space from each other, in order to figure out who they were, outside from the life couple. The couple they were, in another life before all that fiasco happened, before he was taken by Catherine's biological father, had changed.

They have changed, sadly.

They tried to go back to the way they were, however with the missions he was told to do by Reynolds and his struggle to not lose his humanity and trying regain his memories was just like a rushing road altogether. And then, Tori had came into the picture, not that was her fault, but her beast senses had tried to drive him mad, changing him into a animal, losing control and make him become more of a beast than the man he was. When Catherine had shoot him as he was on the verge to kill her father, everything went mad to him, he felt like she had betrayed him by choosing her father. However that's what he used to believe.

"I chose right over wrong..."

"Your father tried to kill me!"

"I couldn't let you kill him!"

"So you shoot me, instead?"

"Do you think, I wanted to?"

He could have sworn, that he had seen her trying to hold her frustrating tears back from falling. He hated to see her cry, expecially when he was the cause of her tears and anger. She left him after they were done and even after he was close enough to fall down, she came back, a few hours later to save his butt. However, after a few days of avoiding each other and even when he felt 'jealous' when he saw her kissing with some random guy, they tried to make up, after she was being held up in hostage with Tess, Dana, the FBI Agent and Tori. They re-started as a team, like old times. He even started to feel that the anger of the beast was fading away, as they spend some time together, as friends. Sure thing, but Tori kinda knew better, she felt a little envious whenever he laid eyes on the brunette cop, but had decided to shut herself up, instead.

Things got a little complicated when JT got kidnapped and when Tori, who went to his rescue, had almost died from 'bleeding out' away to make other beasts experiements. JT had refused but his kidnapper did forced him, unless he could also join Tori into the grave. Vincent didn't got there in time to save the toubled red head girl, but Catherine did. When he came into the dungeon, all he ever did was staring at her, not Tori, but Cat, she was alright, he thought. He remembered screaming her name.

Catherine!

She has a small pulse, we have to call an ambulance, Vincent!

She was here, strong and okay. The light through the darkness, she was his light. He felt so relieved to know that she was alright, feeling his heart bursting out of alleviation. His cure. His everything. His love...

'I don't think it ever went away, not for a single second, the love that I have for Catherine is still here with me..Still strong like always...'

As Catherine looked up to him, he guessed that she was sharing his thoughts as well as their eyes connected, but that moment was interrupted once Tori was taken to medic care.

The dream was still shaken and broken. Ever since that day, from the day when she had shot him, Vincent had blamed Catherine for destroying everything, but he did in deed caused everything and he was now paying the price.

'How does it feels, Keller? Feel the pain? Huh? How did it felt for you to kill my cousin Zhao? in cold blood? Were you satisfied?'had asked the voice behind him, anger and hate was in that tone.

For an answer, Vincent just coughed up blood. He had failed everything, one of his friends was condanmed for good, even Catherine had chose another path, a terrible path to live. So what was the point to live on? Better die, anyways. He bend his head down, in defeat.

What happened to you? Catherine...

'HOW DID IT FELT KELLER? KILLING MY COUSIN LIKE THE MONSTER YOU ARE!'

Vincent!

And then, there was nothing...

...

The next morning.

"What? You want me so sing him a freaky disney song, as a wake-up call? Are you nuts?" Tess just winced in pain at the caller on her phone; JT Forbes, of course, not the wake-up call you want to face with it. She just collapsed on her chair, not carrying about the mess of files that was almost about to fall from her desk.

"Hey, what I am supposed to do in all this? It's Vincent's mess! Not mine or Cat's! Ouch!"

"Gee, are you okay? You sound like you had an hangover or something..."

"Urgh! Don't remind me, I'd rather had stayed in my bed and die already!.."

"Why? You and Cat had it too much, or you probably end up with her, instead..." That made Tess slap her desk, causing a few eyes to look up at her.

"If I was Magneto, JT, I would have you killed by now!"had said Tess raising up her voice a little louder which she had regretted, later on.

Like they had planed; she and Cat had gone out to a bar as singles ladies, to have a good time between girls, no talking about guys or even red heads that were trouble makers such as Alex and Tori. However, things did not go so well later on. After a few shots, don't know how many she had drank, but Catherine had witnessed a couple that were fighting for who knows why for what reason, but still, drunk or not, Catherine walked or tried to not fall on her footsteps as she was walking to their table. As for Tess, she was laughing so hard at that scene; watching a drunk Cat doing some awsome kick-boxing moves with her favorite high heels until the guy dropped on the floor like a doll. The next morning, both Cat and Tess had woken up with the biggest headache they had in years.

"Look, I'm sorry for shouting like that, it's not only the hangover thing that makes me mad, it's Cat, she's not answering her phone and she's quite late by now..." She just hoped that her partner would spare her alive, whenever she'll come in.

"Well, that happens often after a few shots, you know?"had replied JT on the phone as he knocked on Vincent's houseboat's door, as Tess had heard on the line.

"No, it's not that, it's just that as I was walking in, I could have heard two cops talking with Ward about Gabe, in his office.."

"Well, it's not like Tori trying to get into someone's houseboat place and try to get Big Buy into falling with her, you know?"

"I'm serious, JT, there's two cops from New Jersey in here and talking with Captain Ward by now and my brain thinks it's about Gabe..."

"I thought Magnetto had killed you off last night?" Tess just rolled her eyes at that remark and looked upstairs where Captain Ward was talking with two cops, one asian and the other an european one. Tess smelled trouble coming in. One of them was quite familiar to her, hoping it's not an ex-boyfriend.

"What could they possibly want do with Gabe, anyway?" Tess just turned her attention away and rubbed her temples as she replied;

"Remember that girl that was giving him pills to control his beast from exploding?"

"Tyler, the tall and blond one,I guess, why?"

"I believe they have found her...but in not such good shape..."

"Meaning?"

"My guts is telling me, that's she's been found dead...I believe that Gabe is in trouble and not him only, but all of us are in it too..."She could have heard JT gulp, at that sentence.

"But didn't Reynolds had mentionned that he had killed her? I mean he confessed for the crimes he made when Cat arrested him.."

"Don't know if he had killed her or not, however, all I know is that we're all in trouble, Captain Ward is speaking with them as we speak..."

"O holy crap! I've got to tell Vincent! He has to know about that too! Expecially, we were the last two persons to have seen Tyler!" She just wriggled at that answer.

"Don't say a word about the case! JT, not everything is clear yet, we still don't know if it's Tyler's body or someone else!"

"But you said it's Gabe's ex-girlfriend!" That's it, he was starting to freak out already! Tess was about to lose patience as she groaned at this.

"They haven't come up with an ID yet, all they have is a body, not Tyler's, but my guts is telling me that it might be hers...so keep your mouth glued for now on..."

"Remember this; Big Guy has a good and big hearing. Let's just say, it's gonna be hard for me to lie in his face..."

"Look! I don't know, okay? Just try to get him out of bed and hang out with him, try to keep him focused and away from the case! I'll try to update Gabe, he has to know what's going on..."

"I don't know if I can get him out of bed, Tess, he's quite messed up at the moment as we speak..." Tess could hear JT scowling on the phone. Ever since that day in the dungeon, Vincent had locked himself into his houseboat for weeks now. Away from everyone, from Cat and Tori also. It's gonna be a challenge to get him out now. Not only Catherine was in a mess, Vincent was in his own and trapped cage too.

"How about Cat? I mean, she'd like to know soon or later..."

"Look, Cat has enough problems for now, so I think, that now is not right time to tell her about Tyler, but if they ever start to get suspicious and I mean 'them', maybe I would..."

Or maybe, she just wants to stay away from beasts or more from a certain guy named Vincent Keller. Concentrate on her own well being, wouldn't be a crime, no?

"And that means, staying away from you and beast-guy for a while from now on, cause I don't think she can handle another metldown, I'm kinda worried, you know?"had added Tess back hoping JT would get the message of leaving my best friend alone and keep your buddy away from her, or I can kill him with an ax blade. He just sighed.

"Whatever you say, oh! By the way, maybe we should talk about last night..."

"Sorry JT, I have to go now!"had cut Tess in time before Vincent's best friend could follow the conversation.

...

"Hey! Tess!"had tried to call the young professor and Vincent Keller's best friend at his phone, until he got cut out. He stared at his phone as he sighed in defeat.

"Women.."he mumbled to himself as he knocked on Vincent's door again, but still there was no answer. He knew that Vincent had wanted to stay away from everyone and took all the blame for himself, even Tori had tried to come in, but he wouldn't let her in this time. JT thought it was because of the crazy hormones she had, but ever since the attack at the dungeon, Tori hadn't transformed at all, it's like she was an normal human person, for the very first time.

The beast in her had died, just like Gabe's. But, what's normal, anyways?

Not even Catherine came to see him, maybe she felt that JT was deceived by her and had decided to take her distances away from him. Well, he decided to take sides with his best friend instead listening to Cat. True, he was upset that she had shot Vincent and decided to go away from him, both of them. Only, by trying to save him from falling into his beast side. However, JT did not knew that reason, until now. And Tess, in all this? It's too much complicated.

"Me and my big mouth..."He knocked again and still no answer came through the door. He did not made all the way up to Vincent's houseboat for nothing! In this cold weather.

"Hey Vincent! Open up!"

...

I'm almost there! Just making a quick stop at II Cantancio! Hang in there! CAT XP

"Hey, Vargas! You're all grown up now and quite lookin'!"

Tess almost had spit her coffee out when she heard someone calling out her name and that person sounded so familiar. She wheeled around at that dark haired man standing in front of her with his hands in his long and heavy black coat's pockets.

"What are you doing here, Medina?" The man in question just shrugged, playing innoncent.

"Me? Come on, you and I come from a long way of time, can't believe that you just forgot! And by the way, where's your partner, Chandler?" Closing up her phone, Tess just stood up to face the young and playful detective with a frown.

"Seriously, Medina, what are you doing here?"

"Okay, Okay, you've got me in! I'm here working on a case with my partner.."He surrunded himself, hands up at air, in a good mood.

"What case? exactly?"

"Missing case, to be correct and I believe that your ADA, Lowan, I think, has something to do with it..."

"Intriguing, why do you think that?" Medina just sighed at that.

"Because, dear Tessy, we have found a body, a frozen one, actually, and my guts is telling me that, or what's left of it, may be Tyler Stevenson's body..."He had added, staring up at the brunette cop whose heart had started to beat up in fear. Fear to be caught.

...

Don't worry, I'll bring up the other characters in the next chap and don't think for a second that Medina is gonna give up about giving Gabe and Cat some serious trouble, cause he might do give some shit, later on. And for Vincent? You'll see soon.
