Damn. Catherine's attention was totally focused into the video. The video of her and Vincent making out in front of the cameras. Crap. It was probably the cameras, and they caught up all the situation and making out session. The making out session exposed to the cameras's recording to the station. Which means, that a few people must have watched and had heard them, it happening and out live.

Oh Crap.

"And that's not all of it.." Tess's sobering voice had followed up. Cat shifted her eyes up just as the laptop was taken away and let Tess do her another demostration. She watched her finger type up a few clicks until she moved and slid the laptop back down to let her watch another scene. Which had gotten her breath up into her throat, she felt her bones were starting to shake up and threatening to break up in a second. And probably into fear. It was Eva's punishement. Damn, not only she had completely forgotten the cameras into her romm, but that cameras were also into the basement and into each cages. Which had recordered everything in live action and all the torture that has been exposed and been enjoyed.

At least that was how Cat had felt when she took the blade and had whipped any slut's warming flesh. Just as if she had any problem with escorts and especially with women who were paid to screw around for money. First Natasha, and Eva. Who's gonna be next?

And Vincent? The poor man had looked terrified when he had come down into the basement and totally shocked to see her all covered up in blood after she was done with an very and badly bleeding and naked Eva who was barely hanging into herself with with the ropes tied up from her wrists to the celling. He looked horribly terrified and not only from the scene but from how Cat had been taking care of the situation.

Oh My God. She couldn't even recognize herself and how she looked horribly calm into this scene. And how Vincent looked terrified of her before she looked back up to him. He was taken back into shock when she stared up back to him, even could hear his breath trapped up into his lungs.

But that's how she had seen him do before, when he had taken someone's life. It didn't mattered if there were beasts or humans, she had seen him do it before and especially once when he had killed Darius, her ex-boss, Captain Joe Bishop's brother by accident when this one had tried to kill Heather once before and how saddened he looked when he had come up to her window and told her with eyes that looked like they had shook a few tears and how badly they looked when he told her the news.

"I killed Darius.."He suttured up with his words and shockened himself by saying them out loud to the very first person that he would be able to help him out in his misery. He explained back as he tried to defend himself that he seen Darius holding up a gun to an unconscious and lying Heather and that the beast instict had took completely hold of him and snatched the enemies away, including an very scared Darius which he had him killed without any hesitation.

Oh God. That's how Vincent was starting to think of her now? That she has become a monster? The sort of vengeful woman who takes action into her hands and attack any escort and especially women? Just because she has had her heart broken so many times by the very same man, and by the way things had gotten way worse when she had seen him kiss another red haired woman but also a beast like him? Which made him go into his beast side, a side that he would have never wanted to through if things were completely different in a way.

And in a way that she would have taken any vengeful job with free. If it meant to attack any paid escorts and those who would walk away as if nothing had happened as if they weren't the ones who had broken a couple or break an eternal and loving promise between two lovers. And that no mercy would be taken. Only if people were willing to pay her to punish the girls, didn't mattered if they caused a separation or a mistake towards somebody, she would take it with pleasure. Money or not. However, she often had started to wonder her sanity for a second. Wasn't she losing up her mind, completely?

She almost had forgotten that she was working as a undercover cop in order to stop a madman whose control over women was illegal and was using them for profit, if any of that was to be true. And that she wanted to help an helpless friend who could not defend herself on her own. Yalena, who was lying comatose in a hospital bed and had hidden her child away from the authorities. From the states nations and from any anyone's suspicious eye.

"Tess, I.."

"First time in my career that I've seen Vincent looking horrified here. Not only once but twice." Tess had paused up the video and looked back up at the troubled and shaken woman."And after you two had hookened up into your room, trust me I've seen it and not only I have, but the entire station and Ward along.." Oh Damn.

"Oh My God.."

"You forgotten that you were undercover work, didn't you?"

"God. No!" Cat cleared up her throat before she could follow up trying to not look ashamed or guilty. Even if her feautres were betraying her."It's just everything was going on so fast, that I've lost completely any sign of tracking move. Smirnoff didn't wanted me or Vincent to go away without giving us a gift. So we took it as a thankening present. But things had gotten weird when we dropped off into the room, and this is when I've started to feel strange.."

"Same for Vincent?"

"Yes.."

"What present did that old man gave you both?"

"A flute of an expensive champagne. What I did not known is that he probably mixed up the drinks exactsy. I think.." That explained the torrid passion she felt the night before, but it wasn't only because of an elixir, but of old and the very same flame that had been awakened up into her senses. Words couldn't even explain it. Both of them felt like the break-up had never took place and went through it together. And it wasn't only sex, but with love and passion. Love the most strong feeling that she has ever felt with Vincent once she had been pushed into his arms and his devouring mouth even. And from the way he kissed her back it still felt same way as it used to be. An intimidate moment that had been ruined when the whole station had been watching their lovemaking and out live. Damn. People might be thinking that she had screwed up this whole case by exposing her feelings out of nowhere.

"This is how you've gotten yourself up and mixed into Vincent's arms and in bed.." However Tess wasn't convinced as she sat there and into pissed mood even. Cat tried to explain herself by lowering up her voice from the public here.

"Tess, I know what you're probably be thinking-"

"That you 'probably' had jinxed this whole case, with sex? I think so and that you're probably getting yourself mad.."

"I'm not mad-"Wasn't she letting herself becoming mad? She had no idea. After all, she did quite enjoyed hurting two women because they were told that they were bad and disobedient, and that they needed to be punished which she took the pleasure of doing it and without any hesitation though. She hadn't looked back from it.

"If not, then explain this, here?" Tess pointed the paused video, not only the two persons who were faced to each other, but the lying, tied and covered up figure, Eva who could barely defend herself and to explain the expulsive attack she took from an very enraged Ayaka. Or an very enraged Cat here that took the blade and had whipped her off without showing any mercy.

"You looked like you've enjoyed every whipping hit that Eva had took and every scream and begging you to stop from hitting her any longer.."Tess explained back as Cat looked up with angry eyes."You even demanded her to tell you if there was any Kayla girl living up at the club, over and over just like she had denied that subject through..Who is Kayla? And why hadn't she shown up?"

"That was the reason of why I was sent to do it. Attacking Eva was a part of it, and Anna just managed to slip through my fingers. She got lucky, but who knows how long?" Cat shrugged off as if the matter didn't bothered her which made Tess feel uncomfortable. She didn't liked the way her friend acting out like the way it been since now. Cat just sighed as she shook her head in defeat. "You do know what kind of job I'm paid to do here, Tess. At daylight, I'm a bodyguard and an hitman at night." She had recalled back in the first place."I've agreed to follow a contract and in order to get more closer to Àlvarez, but in order to do so, I have to convince Lina that I'm trustworthy. Not the other way around.."

"By getting her jealous?"

"And I believe it's working, so-"

"So, it wouldn't matter to you that she has her eyesight onto Vincent? That she had started to follow him around like a puppy?" Oh she sure did. The way the ex-stripper had followed Vincent like a love puppy. It was just sick. All the girl wanted was to feel love and compassion and especially when she hadn't been into a relationship since forever, and since of her diagnosis which had prevented her from experiencing one possible relationship. No, she wasn't jealous.

"What? That's completely absurd! She has revealed before and to the two of us, that she was HIV-positive and resigned herself from sex, ever since-"

"There are so many transmitting and sick people who are screwing up around with protection today, you know? I don't think it's a good reason for her to stop from having any fun, now..It's just science proof, though."

"Look, Vincent can go around with anybody than me. He's old enough to know what he wants from women and beast women, if you know what I mean here.." Cat leaned back to her chair by folding up her arms against to her chest."And you're asking, I'm not jealous.."

"Look, if you say so..It's your sex life, but I didn't come up here to catch with your 'so-called' relationships. I'm here for the case and to tell some bad news, like Ward wants to take you out of this case before it gets too personal for you to handle-"

"Tess, you know I can't!" Cat was now whispering between her words and hoping that nobody here could possibly hear her."I know this case better than anybody else! Tell Ward to give me more time. A week or so.."

"Even with Vincent tending and healing the girls you've hitten? That's very sweet of you, even if my answer is still an definate 'No' though." Tess sighed back as she watched her friend roll her eyes up. As if jealousy was gonna get her in a way. "However, the other bad news is that Agent Landon still wants you in the job and states that you are doing some great achieving work as you've taken up their last and unfinishing work to end up with.."

"What do you mean?" Cat tried to follow her through as she pushed the other problem away when her friend had blurted out the bad news, at least from the way it sounded for Tess.

"I do not know all the details, Cat. But I got caught up with Landon as I was leaving Rikers, this morning and let me finish!" Tess held up a pointing finger once Cat had reacted, a little more perplexed as she blinked up and with many questions she took a chance to ask.

"What are you talking about? What were you doing at Rikers? Did something had happened while I was gone?"

"Gabe got himself arrested last night, by Medina. That guy had the nerve to come up and to arrest him with a warrant. For Tyler's murder." Tess followed up which had left her friend on a stunned position.

"Oh God. Not Gabe.." She shook her head, still couldn't believe how things had gotten for him and of how his beast past had caught him off guard. And from the way she had treated him badly when she had ast seen of him, before going undercover made her feel guilty even. When she had almost accused him of being a monster after having to deal with Vincent's treason, back at that night.

"A lot of mess have happened, Cat while you were gone, and since I'm still here at this moment, I have a warning to give you.."

"What?" What else could be more worse than that?

"I believe that not only, Medina had come up here to arrest Gabe. He had come up here to track you down."Cat had only blinked up her eyelids for answer as she continued to listen when Tess followed up. "I just know it from the way he mentionned your name that night, that he was up onto something. And I don't know for what reason, but it doesn't smell too good anyways. You might have to start on watching your back."That stopped Catherine from thinking of anything else.

"You think he knows something that I don't?"

"He said that you've been sneaky by toying around another agent before and that the same guy probably wants revenge."That was a total moving and sounding thunder that took place instead of her own heartbeat though. First, Gabe's arrest and now Medina may be willing to push her off the cliff and to stop her, by doing someone else's job instead. Freak!

"No. No. Don't tell me that Medina is also working with the FBI..Not Hendricks. I thought everything was over-" She tried to look away hoping to avoid the the story from becoming true and even if it was from her friend's mouth. In a hopefully way, to believe. But she had known that it was the absolute truth and knowning that Tess wasn't such a good liar, it wouldn't be so hard for her to be detected at very first sight though.

"After Gabe managed to save your ass with switching up the bullets, I guess and not only that.."Cat looked back up to her fiend, frightened as her eyes looked up to be. "Medina had also told me that an homeless guy had revealed to him that he had seen you walking around with Gabe during the middle of the night and the very same night when Vincent was kidnapped. That homeless guy stated that he seen three people walking around at that palace.."That was another bad news. Someone may had seen something during Vincent's kidnapping at that night and told someone, an officer of the law that he seen something unreal. Which might put an end to her career and life, if Hendricks had come to know about it and from Medina's speculation. Three problems already stucked up into her guts.

"The one that my mother used to take me around so that I wouldn't left alone at home when my other father was at work."Cat remembered that moment so well and looked down to her lattee that has gone up cold into its mug. Looking a bit lost for a second as she was completely alone and unaware of Tess's presense. And it somehow felt good to be trapped into her long lost thoughts even if it was for a second."And now Medina is willing to burn my ass because of that incident that would not only expose both Gabe and Vincent, but also with me..Damn, that guy might know something and might force me to turn myself in and state to Hendricks that I've lied in front of that freaking camera by stating that there wasn't anybody else out there-"

"Which Medina would want to expose Vincent's real story into the arrest and how he had gotten himself shot. By trying to kill your dad and to which you've tried to stop..Think, Cat, think for a second."Tess put her forearms onto the table as she tried to get up her attention in some way."You've gotta have to find something worth and a better reason to protect and to save your yourself from this mess.."

"You let me handle Medina, okay? I'll find something to buy us sometime. So, now tell me about the other bad news, you've said that Dana wanted to keep me into the job, because I had achieved up some good work, what's that supposed to mean?" She wasn't sure how she was gonna handle things and especially when she has another detective into her rail and snooping her around, but she was willing to take things one at one. First the case, and then later she'll have to co me up with something good to save her ass away from Medina and Hendricks. And maybe Vincent would probably think of it as well, cause if Medina ever something else about the war hero soldier that hasn't been said before, he is going to get himself burned for protecting his ass from exposure, in one way or another.

"Cat, I don't think-"

"I only have a few minutes left before I have to return to the club, so you better spill the other bad news you were about to spit out. About Dana's reason for me to stay in.."

...

Oh God. Oh God. No. No.

He felt himself shivering from every deep and attached bone to his living and burning body. Shivering with fear like a little boy who might have looked like. Vincent kept on splashing his face with cold water, over and over again. He hoped that it was enough to make him stop from transforming into his beast and from other people around here. Or that's what he believed after he rushed up into bathroom at first like a madman.

And he had started to cough and in out of nowhere as his felt his chest going heavy and into the very same way as his own heart had threatened him the needing of exploding up in rage as he held himself back with his hand. A hand that belonged to a beast, claws and hard veins through it as he started to cough from deeper of his burning lungs. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong going on here. He wasn't feeling like himself ever since he walked into the club and mostly had caught up and something that he couldn't point his finger onto. Unless it was from that gem. That red gem that Cat often had taken with her everywhere she goes when she's into the club here and in duty.

He couldn't even recognize her anymore. Another woman had taken her place and the very same one with whom had an affair, last night. One nightstand, only. No, it just couldn't be. It just couldn't end.

Or it had been ended from a very longtime?

Get your head into the game and find a way to convince Catherine that she is slowly falling into a dark place. He thought himself back, again and again as he looked back up from the water to see his reflection to the mirror. He released an relieved sigh out from his caught up throat which his breath had been blocked and especially when he had rushed out of the room. His eyes had found their original color despite the lack of sleep and his features had gone back into normal despite being drenched like a soaked and huge dog. Human features as he could remember he had been before. Before he had lost total control in a moment of rage.

What the heck had happened?

He had been feeling very strange lately and somewhow the horrible effect in him was fastly going up and faster than he expected to be. He needed to warn Catherine about the red necklace and how bad it was making feel and making him feel sickened than he ever had felt. If not, then he'll need to make a call to J.T.

If his ex-girlfriend couldn't help him, then his own best friend might be. He needed to find his phone. Vincent stepped away from the mirror and started to look for a towel everywhere into the bathroom place from left to right, until his eyes had shifted down onto the floor and stepped back from the spot in a startled jump. His attention was on the floor and Vincent was horribly frightened by the sight. His breath got caught up into his throat just like it had been from the first time he walked up here. Whatever was growning inside of him was only getting worse.

Blood. There was shockening and splashed up blood lying onto the floor. His blood from the coughing.

...

"Think that Eva had recognized you, and I mean from the very first time you've seen her when we were both looking around the club, once for Lena's way?" Tess had resumed after Cat told her what had occured during the latest attack and from the way that an bleeding Eva who had revealed that she had seen her attacker somewhere else than into the club before. Eva had really believe it that she had seen her attacker before, from how the video could state the fact as a living proof.

"I don't know, but all I know is that I almost panicked when she had figured out.."Cat confessed back as she dropped a few bills to the table, for the undrinken latte onto her side while Tess's was left almost empty.

"So, what did you do?"

"I kept on doing my job and I've shut her mouth, at the very end.." She had concluded back in a sigh. After all, with the beating that Eva had taken she wouldn't be able to talk for a very longtime though and Cat made it perfectly clear.

"An chilling ending, as I might say.." Tess's remark was quite sarcastic as Cat changed up the subject and fast."Anyways, Dana had said that the FBI was once involved that agent managed to get an escort woman out from that club?"

" It went awry. As it seems. Dana also believes that Barnes, the ex-agent is willing to comeback from Denvers along with this escort, a woman who used to go onto the Nadia name once might probably be his wife now."Tess gave a frowning look by waving her palms up in defeat. "You know the thing, they both fell in love and ran away, blah, blah. You see, he managed to get themselves far away from here for safety."An undercover that went wrong but had earn the guy the way to save a woman, from the nightclub and to fall in love with her so that Barnes could protect her if this Nadia woman could get herself hitched up with him and use his name, so that no harm would come up to her, or them both. Marriage was the only way to protect her from Àlvarez and keep his hands away from her, despite her being away from here.

"Just in case, if Àlvarez is looking around still.." Just great. However, this woman could well be an witness and may be able to prove Àlvarez's crimes, if he was caught to be guilty though. This Nadia would be a big help for them and for the FBI and maybe to prove Yalena's innocence.

"That's the only reason I believe to be.." Tess followed back as she took her mug to her lips to taste up her latte who had now turned up to be cold when Cat had looked back up at her, supscious.

"When do you think Barnes had heard from Alvarèz's background story?"

"Maybe on TV, or else I wouldn't know how he had heard the news, though.."Tess had mentioned back.

"And nobody had heard from this Nadia girl or that she somehow had vanished away from Àlvarez's clutches or Esperanza's?"

"No clue, unless Landon had lied to me. You know feds.." Tess sighed back as she rose up from her chair."It's your job to figue out whatever the hell had happened and especially with this mysterious Kayla girl, you've demanded from Eva to know.."

"I know and which I would probably figure out if I ask Lina, once I go back.." Not only she would have to ask if this Kayla girl had existed or not, but also about Nadia if she had been one of Àlvarez's girls before she left the club. If she ever had existed anyways and had the chance to run away out of this living hell. If it ever was true.

Unless Lina, Esperanza or the other girls believed that Nadia had died, supposely. But the 'Unless' word was strong enough to believe. And Cat needed some time enough to figure out if it was true. Even if it didn't pleased her captain or her partner, but it quite relieved her to know that Dana had agreed with her on keeping her into the work, though. Hard or not.

"It's not too late to step back, Cat.."

"I won't step back either way. Tell Ward to give me another week to search around and I won't waste it anyways." It might seem worthless to ask, but Cat felt she was starting to get closer to the truth, now that she has known that not only she was the only who had taken the job first, but there was also another person and coming from the Bureau. Barnes would certainly have to bring up his ass back up here and with Nadia. So that he would definally explain himself, and hopefully Nadia would do as well.

"Cat, I-"

"Landon wants me to finish up the job? Then let me do it and give me a week to end it. If I don't come up into my word, you can let Ward take me away from the case. But if I manage to kick Àlvarez's ass and be able to expose him. Let me fufill an promise to Lena, at least for one who might be able to wait and trust me for ending it." It's not like she didn't trust the system, it's just that she needed more time to come into an idea so that she would trap Àlvarez and maybe take away Lina off of her way, and maybe taking Vincent away as well. Unless, the guy would expose her cover, or unless Eva wakes and gets better from her wounds she may expose her to Lina who might probably tell Àlvarez. No. No one knew who she was and it better stays this way, until the very end.

"I don't know about Lena's condition's Cat. I don't know if she would be able to come out of it.." However, Cat managed to cut her off before she could let Tess say anything else. Shhe wanted to believe that Lena was still gonna make it or else all this mess and sacrifice would have meant nothing. She was here to defend an lost friend whose voice was wasted away because of the lack of system from the law enforcement who dindn't budge a finger to come and to help her for a second. Like it hadn't helped her or even Vincent either when the two of them were left alone to pick up the mess and without any help from anybody. And now, with Vincent out of the way, Cat might be able to help someone who needed justice help. Lena needed-No, she deserved it. And she wasn't willing to let Lena die any other way though.

She already had lost Vincent before because of the lacking of trust or him losing her into the lack of trust. She wouldn't let herself lose Lena, anyways and without even trying first, which she would do anything in her power to not let it happen.

"It doesn't matter. At least, I'm the only here who can manage to keep my word to the very end, unlike Vincent had done before when he chose a path and walked away from me. And from us.."Cat had admitted back with a firm nod when she agreed back into her words."Trust me, I won't go back from my word, until it's over.."

"I don't doubt that, Cat. But there's only one thing that bothers me though.."Tess confessed back.

"Like what?"

"If you say that Vincent is old enough to go away from you, who's taking care of you?" Cat just shook up her head in denial. Since when the big and tough up girl, Tess was begining to be a big softie? Maybe, because of her unresolved feelings with J.T.?

"I can defend myself, Tess. I'm a grown woman and I don't need a man to protect me and to save me.." But her partner shook up her head and closed up her eyes for a secod until she opened them back. Cat could tell that she was getting worried here as she waited for the answer to come out.

"It's not what I meant. I know that you are capable of defending yourself and on your own way, but who's taking care of you? And I mean, emotionelly and of your heart's feelings?" That was another question that took off her guard. Cat looked startled at that question when her partner in crime took up her laptop and walked away from her and without looking back as she walked downstairs, leaving the female cop undercover into shock. And especially she dropped out this.

"I just hope this case ends up quickly, before anyone else gets hurt or even killed. And I just hope it won't be you or Vincent, or else J.T. would kills me if he hears it." However, Tess didn't waited for answer since her friend just remained in silence, but could imagine her hand forming up to a hardened fist intl her knuckles were turning into white.

...

It was getting worse. It was getting worse, he had known it and it wasn't because of that freaking and stupid necklace. It was his immune system that was reacting to its side effects. Vincent sighed back as he tried to swipe off the sweat off of his forehead. He needed to check himself and called J.T. for the necklace and from the way it was making him feel, lately. Awfully sick. And to whenever when Cat was wearing it, it was making him weak and sick. It made his heart wanting to explode in any second.

He walked down into the basement as he tried to ignore the horrible blood's smell and the opened cages off by walking directly into the office. Doctor's office as they often called it and to reach up his phone and his other stuff. He needed to make a call to J.T. and right away by asking his help. Fast.

He opened up the door as he walked inside and slammed back right before he leaned back onto it, Vincent snapped his eyes shut for a second. He felt like he was running out of breath. That his fonctionning lungs were burning as he was breathing up and heavily though. So much blood. The blood, it was something that he would never be able to erase from his mind.

First the lack of power and then the attack onto an very topeless and drenched Tori who was having a shower. It almost had ended up badly if J.T. hadn't interfiered before. The raging feelings he felt when not only Regan but everyone like Ash, Jeffrey, Miguel, Ed, the dog and including J.T. and her son felt like they were being threatened by Carl. An junkie would always be a junkie as they often say and he was starting to scare both his wife and kid. No wonder they took the run to come up here and ask him for his help, which he did promised and yet had failed to prove because he chosed another opinion that he might going to regret.

Catherine, and the slowing and growning death going through him and might be burning him alive.

And yet with the showing up bluish bruises into his skin and from the way he started coughing blood, it wasn't such a good sign and as a doctor, Vincent felt that it was a bad sign that he was starting to cough out blood. Meaning that the poison was probably infecting up into his lungs and probably was getting along the way to his heart. Might and only, unless he could try and stop it.

He needed to find his phone and fast. Vincent sighed back as he opened up his eyes, feeling calm now after the panicking feeling had vanished away and brushed up his beard in frustration when he felt another one coming up. Calm down, calm down, Vince..He kept telling himself before he stepped away from the door and rushed to the desk. His desk were his getaway bag was hanging onto the chair, where most of his stuff were inside and started to dig down into it.

...

"Woah. You're willing to pay me an thousand dollars for a job that you want me to do?"

"Eight thousand as I should say and right into your hands.."Lina dropped back down the filled up enveloppe with bills onto the table as the dark haired woman who sat in front of her was totally stunned by her impression. Su Li had almost dropped her cigarette from her fingers until she looked right back up.

"Where did you get that money?" The asian woman demanded to know as she tried to remain into a calm state after that shockening revealation. After all, she was a buisiness woman who has her own house of little so-called porcerlain dolls. A boss. A boss who took very well care of her girls's sexual and conditions in pre safe and security. So unlike Àlvarez's girls's living states over here. However, it was still illegal despite her way of her doing the things but into the way or it was as she thought would be.

"Right from Anna's bed and cushion pillows's hide spot. A part of it from what I can count. It was Anna and Eva's bet as they had covered up another woman's ass from the nightlife and made Aya and I believe into their crooking up plan, bitch had tricked both me and Aya by telling that Eva was in fact the real Kayla, though.."

"Which I believe the real Kayla had never shown up after that night?" Su Li had guessed out as Lina nodded back.

"She never did. I know, cause I've checked every room and I didn't found her anywhere around here. It was like she had completely disappeared though."

"I'm sure that costumer guy was disappointed and wanted his money back after he figured out the truth that he had been toyed.."

"You can tell that.."

"Then why do you want me to attack this Ayaka girl, though? I mean she did her job well and by punishing Eva was fair enough. But it would have been different if things had been into my place though.." Su Li smirked back into her smoking cigarette as she took the money and passed to Virgina who slid the money back through her dress. And Sun Li looked like an dangerous woman to be. And a little too much clairvoyant, if you could get yourself at that much close.

"We run out of girls at the moment. I mean there's only Olga and Kayla. And since Kayla is nowhere to be found, Olga isn't much help though since she can't speak any clear english and with Eva and Natasha out of the picture, Olga can't do them all together.."

"What about Anna?" Lina shook up her head. No, Anna had to stay out of it for this time. It better be, cause the next time she tries to play nasty towards her or Ayaka again. It would not end up so good. And Ayaka would do a pleasure to re-do the torture scene over again, though.

"I'm not sure..And I mean we're pretty tight now with two women out of work and three others that were found dead. It's pretty tight with Olga and Anna dealing with the costumers, now.." With Eva and Natasha out, there was Anna and Olga and since they were pretty tied up as Anna couldn't go with all the men in the club and with Olga who was too clumsy, scared and couldn't even say an english proprely. Lina had no choice was either to make some time or order other girls from other countries to come over here, but only if they were to be a match to the person that she and Àlvarez were serving now. And by match, it meant by blood and other illegal things.

"Are you still in contact with Nadia?" Once again, she shook up her head. She had no clue where the other escort girl had vanished away. Last time, that Lina had seen her it was with Esperanza, when she had forced her to walk down into the basement and then a few minutes later she was gone. And so was the bodyguard too. Not a trace on them were found other than an uncouscious Esperanza that had been lying down onto the floor and inside of that blood and opened cage where Nadia had been held.

"She's been missing for a very longtime, although, I wouldn't be so surprised if she had been found dead onto the streets.." That was simple and short.

"And Kayla out of the picture?" Damn it! What else was there to discuss? That girl was nowhere to be found. And Eva wouldn't never be able to tell with her unconscious state.

"I'm telling you that I don't even know where the hell she is!" Lina felt like she was getting desparate and from the way Sun Li saw the things on her own way it didn't quite convinced her enough.

"And why this Ayaka girl, has anything to do with it? I mean, she did her job as she was ordered to do by the custumer who claimed he was being tricked. When he had realized that it wasn't the ideal girl he ordered to have..I don't see anything wrong by following up with the rules.." It seemed so simple to hear and yet unbelievable to be convinced as Su Li wasn't.

"And this is where you've got to know your own mistake here. It was a settup, from the beggining, Su Li..And I don't mean with Anna and Eva, but also with Ayaka. She's been playing with us.."The ex-stripper had cursed through her breath just as she added right back to the real subject. By bringing Eva back to the line.

"Let's just say that something had slipped out from that slut's mouth last night. Eva had revealed a little something drastic. Stating that she had seen Ayaka somewhere else before she had taken Esperanza's job.." Lina had followed out. Better bring the truth out already even if it sounded unreal though.

"Like what?" Virgina blinked up back for answer as Su Li tried to not look impressed even when she felt like vomiting here.

"Eva stated into the video, that she had seen Ayaka somewhere else and before she had come up here. stated that she was an officer of the law who had been snopping around from that time before Yalena, Òliver's crazy wife was found and had been arrested.."That was just enough for the asian woman to fall off of her guard.

"Don't tell me you're freaking kidding with me.." Su Li's dark eyes went up angrily as she dropped her cigarette onto its dirty spot as Lina nodded back.

"I am not. See for yourself, cause everything is in there.."

"Let me see that freaking video whom you claim to have.."Had ordered back the asian bussiness woman back. It was a order and a very firm order coming up from her tone as Lina did what she told. She slid down her phone onto the table and let Su Li and Virgina have a clear view of Eva's attack and from last night at the hauntened basement.

...

Oh crap, she felt like dying here. Pushing herself away from the toilet, Tori sat down onto the floor as she wipped her mouth from the vomit away and sighed back as she tried to gain her breath back. She sat down by putting her both arms back behind her back.

Oh God. She never felt so sick like that and never had been until now. Was it something she ate before that made her feel sick? Something from last night? Other than the chinese takeouts she had last night. Nothing much. It wasn't the food.

As a beast, she never felt herself weird or anything that was about weird or sick. Never. She felt invicible and powerful than ever. However, now that she was simple and boring human. A normal woman. Weird sicknesses had started to show up, like simple colds and sinus, but there weren't nothing compared to the transplant she endured which had made her become to the woman she is today.

Unless, there were transmitting diseases around, such ITS or HIV. Or pregnancy for women-Wait. Wait a second. She got startled up at that thought. She rolled herself into an indian sitting position and dragged her unruly hair away from her sight as she stood shocked at the revealation. Was it possible? Could she be pregnant? No, it couldn't be possible. It couldn't be. She tried to think for a second.

Can it be?

When she and Vincent had shared a couple nights together, he always made sure that he had protection around by bringing condoms and that she would start to take the pill. If they wanted to have sex and so that they wouldn't bring any other baby and born beasts away into the world as long they were under threat and even if Murfield was gone, there would always be someone going after them.

It was Vincent's descision and he made it clear, but it didn't always meant that she wanted to follow his way. It did happen that she slipply had 'So-forgotten' to take the pill in order to make him go deep inside of her. Make him feel more like an primal and delusional beast. And from the way she might even become pregnant in order to keep him away from Catherine and so that he would stay with her forever as they would raise their child was a stupid and selfish thought. A loving family that she had never once had, despite her father telling her that she was cherished and wanted and also loved from what he had told. Oh God. No.

Crap. Oh No. Didn't it meant that she was maybe pregnant? When was the last time she had her cycle? Did she ever checked herself before or even brought up a test? How could an forming fetus could have had ever survived when she was running out of blood? There were too many questions going through her mind and too many that were starting to scare her now.

How would Veronica react into this mess?

Startled as her green piercing eyes widened in shock, Tori felt her breath getting caught up into her throat when she looked down as she pressed up her hand onto her stomach almost as something was slowly starting to come up here into the disastrious picture. Which was the last fear that she would have and face the consecquences of her selfish actions, when she used to be a beast. She could very well be pregnant, unless she'll take a test to make sure.

A child.

...

"That was just freaking nuts. What an feline there.." Virgina was stunned and speecheless as much as Su Li looked disturbed and by just having to watch the entire secquance here. Lina could have said that this woman was brought down by this little and quite refreshfull, feline like Ayaka. So much that she felt almost envied, that the bussiness woman felt envied and jealous here. As if her ego had been hurt.

"Sure was. Eva did mention that Aya looked familiar, in a way.."Su Li mumbled back in a questionning way though."You were right about that."

"It's her words.."Lina had stated.

"Do you have a better picture? Any picture of this Ayaka girl?" She grumbled back as her eyes had never left off from the video.

"Go to the photo section. I've taken a picture or two from the pictures that Anna had received as a gift from Smirnoff.." With all her attention, she watched Su Li slipping through the windows and swipped them one by one until her dark eyes had come accross from what they've been looking for. Her eybrows had completely rose up which meant that she had found exactly what she wanted to find here.

She did find out about Ayaka.

"She looks very beautiful here and with that war hero guy on her side, from what I can see here.." Su Li had observed back."That guy must have looked very protected from the way I see him standing next to her..A little too young and too stif, for my taste, though.." She frowned back at the picture and Lina could tell that she was deceived by Vincent's looking young and aging up style.

"It must be from the photos coming from the opera date that Anna and Smirnoff were attending. Anna stated she needed a chaperon like Ayaka and Keller, but that was only so Eva could trick off the guys from this girl, Kayla.."

"And this Ayaka girl made you guys look like complete fools or more like tricked as you've said?"

"And not only that. She might be a fake, though.." Lina watched Su Li's eyes shifted up back up to her."She might be a traitor to us.."

"And with Eva admitting that she had seen her before and outside from work, Aya might be more than she wants you guys to believe.." The woman's hard eyes followed back up which the ex-stripper had nodded into it. It was more than what it already looked to be like. "And you want me to punish her from what she did to one of your girls, and to which it was unfair for her to suffer and since that Eva cannot defend herself now-"

"Which is what I've asked you to come over, before. You've stated once that you had wanted to do some justice to one of these girls before when Esperanza had smashed her face into pieces and to which had ended up her career.."Lina had concluded back."You do remember Justina, right?"

"Oh for sure, I do.."Su Li pushed the phone away for a second with a long sigh coming out from her lungs."And it wasn't her fault, if she was so sensitive to penetration when it came to sex protected or not. Her skin looked so red and from deep down too, but since she had no other choice, she was forced to go and act perfect when a costumer had called her and yet she was so afraid to disapoint..And after that, the guy had filed up a complaint and to which went to Esperanza's control." She raised up her glass up to her lips as her eyes looked lost for a second."I wouldn't be so surprised if she was found dead, the very next day and after the unfair beating she've taken after.."Sun Li felt the ex-stripper's uncomfortable silence as her eyes went back to meet hers as she understood her staring. "Don't tell me-"But Lina shook her head back in defeat.

"I'm sorry to tell you this. Justina had succumbed to her wounds right after Esperanza's attack. The pressure was too much for her lungs and since the doctor couldn't do much back then, Esperanza took her body and left her alone into the garbage and outside at the rain, at that night.."

"Oh God.." Virgina whispered back up close up the silence between them. Looking frustrated, the asian woman dropped down her glass onto the table in a haste and very loud haste and which had been her answer to that thought. Anger.

"And which might happen to Eva if she doesn't get any better. It doesn't matter if she deserved to be beaten or not, she had known whatever mess she was doing.."Lina concluded back but stood ontho her guard before she followed up as Su Li was certain of it."But?"

"Still Ayaka wasn't being fair to any us..She lied to all of us, Su Li.."

"So you want me to punish her.." Su Li folded her arms against her chest by trying to push her emotions aside. But Lina had known that she wasn't easy when it came to mixed emotions.

"At least, you would have made your wish come true..I'm giving you the option, here."

"Lina-"

"It's either that, or I'll bring Eva to the nearest hospital which Òliver would probably find out about the truth here. About the video and to which he'll probably be devastated to know that the girl he had an eye on, was a total fake. And might have to execute her out. He might be asking for help, and when I mean help, I don't mean the three of us, here.." That had strucked both the two women up to theirs chairs. They were in both shock.

"You mean, that he's not working alone into this mess? That, there are not only two people working up here? Not only you and Àlvarez?" Virgina talked the first back for her boss who had remained into shock.

"There's three of us into this mess, and once he'll learn about the truth that his new organs might be out, he'll come to finish us. Àlvarez and I, and probably Aya and yourself also.."

"Sorry, to tell you this, but I don't play or buy people's organs-"Horrified by that matter, Su Li had managed to blurt a few words out of her mouth which were both useless since the ex-stripper followed back.

"No, but you do have a house full of porcerlain girls and an suitcase of heroin hiding up somewhere inside. Which the cops were running about lately, until the rumors got shutted down since the drug lords had stopped coming towards you, now that the drugs are being controlled by the governement-"

"Only marijuana is legalized here.."The dark haired woman had revealed back and even if it was the only half of the truth here. She was stunned to know that Lina had the stupid gut to even go that far and to blackmail her without a second. It was an total blacmail as she demanded her help to punish Ayaka in a way to remind her who was the boss here and who was taking total control, though. And using the secret heroin that she kept deep down into her own basement of her house which she was willing to expose to the cops was even worse. She might do jail for a very longtime. Even for many counting years to come. Shivering from deep down onto her long spine, Su Li kept on staring up at Lina's brown eyes as they were certainly enjoying every minute of her freaking out silence moment. Not only, she wanted to put Aya straight back into her place but had also wanted to punish her as well and in order to make her explode inside. Blow up into defeat.

"So, imagine the consecquences you would probably have to go through if you were found with heroin possession and hidden up into your basement..You might even go to jail.."

"You're bluffing.."

"It's your call, girl..I do know you better than you think, Su Li. Not only, you have an heroine suitcase but you also have your own share of dead skeletons into your precious closet. Two secrets exposed are better than one." Damn. It was total blackmail thing here. She might lose everything that she had come and work up so far and would certainly lose if she doesn't hold onto her word. Her secret would be exposed and her running bussiness would go down with all the girls she paid and helped them to find a good and safe place for them. No, she wouldn't want to let this happen in anytime soon.

"Twenty thousand.."She blurted out for answer which surprised Lina and Virgina both as they were blinking back to that answer which the dark haired woman followed back without explaining the reason.

"Give me the rest of the money. Give me an twenty thousand bucks to destroy that bitch's pretty and refreshing face and I'll do it..That's my offer to it."

"Twenty-"

"It's either that or nothing! There's no more discussion to this Lina! My money or nothing!" This time, it was the ex-stripper's turn to look stunned. She knew that Sun Li was definally not changing her mind in anytime soon. She exchanged an look to the female bodyguard who simply had shrugged her shoulders back.

"If I were you, I'd go and get the money right away, cause I do know that the boss right here would certainly not change her mind at all.."

"And make it fast. If you don't wanna your hitman girl to figure out about our plan, and once you're it, drag Olga down here so we'll chat up here.."

"Let me tell you something here, Olga doesn't speak much-"But Su Li had interrupted her so fast by pointing up her manicured and fafe nail finger at her in a warning move.

"I know she doesn't speak much english here, I get it!" She straightened her sitting position on her chair and added up like an great idea went through her mind into a second."We'll be talking about bussiness and I'll specifily hire a guy to come and get all Olga seduced and play along with the act. The guy gets paid for his refund and only after Olga so disappoints him. He demands to see you and gets the money from Virgina here. You ask for Ayaka to come up and tells her to do a little tiny thing. Punish Olga, but the girl is away and cannot be found. So in the meantime, I come up and teach her a lesson and bring her downstairs afterwards. And for tonight. The end." Lina wasn't sure if the plan wasn't gonna work but from the way the dark haired woman had looked up like here. She was so deadly serious and annoyed from the way she stared up back at her, here. She definally had something up to her sleeve.

"Su Li, I don't know if it's gonna work or not. I mean Ayaka isn't the one who can be easily fooled around-"

"You want this bitch to be punished or not? Then, go and fetch me the whole money and the girl. And like I said here; I don't have all time here and certainly not by kissing up your feet!" Su Li was getting irritated and wanted this stupid meeting to be over by now as Lina could observe here. The dark haired woman made her decision and wouldn't go back into it. And with a sigh, Lina pulled back her seat and rose up from the table as she walked away while Su Li had taken other cigarette and trapped it between her lips and before she could raise up her lighter, she added back as she talked up to Virgina.

"Once a loser, always a loser. What else can't you get?" She lightened up the flame onto the spot before she could savoured the smoke from in and out of her rushing lungs.

...

"Help! I need to talk to you, J.T.!" Keller was getting desparate and it was good to hear about it. He got out of his car once the S. . vehicule stopped as the doors got all opened as the people got out of it as they fastened their step to the borrowed house along with an tired Detective Vargas. What a bitch. Who the hell she thinks she is, by the way? He shok his head as he walked away from the public. He looked down at the text and snorted the air out from his nostrils and into satisfaction. Help, I need to talk to you, J.T! And supposedly this J.T. person was the person he had tried to reach up. And since the biochimist professor was put into witness protection and most all of the people here and with that tied up and whiny dog and especially with the soon ex-wife from that psycho guy they were running away from. Regan Benett and with her son who was also named Vincent.

Crap. No wonder, her husband wanted to kill her. Cause that dumbass had really thought that the guy himself was having an affair with her, and had the kid. A total psychopath. All the phones were taking away from the people here for their own security, however most of them were all ringing and vibrating up.

Including up J.T.'s phone was vibrating as if someone's life was depanded on it. Keller's life. A smirk was forming up onto his face as he re-read the text, over and over. He guessed that Keller was running out of time and how far? He couldn't possibly know. He had heard that Keller had beasted out once before and if his condition was suddenly getting worse, it was either he kept the temptation all in or had beasted out more than once. He had to talk to Lina or Àlvarez once he had time to check around.

He looked back over his shoulder to make sure that no one was checking him and after he made sure that nobody was looking around, he went back to the phone as his thumbs had already started to do the work.

He was certainly enjoying this. To feel and guess the pain that the so-called doctor and war hero guy that was starting to feel and to panic, already.

...

"Hey Reynolds, you got a visitor, today.." The silver haired man got awakened by the sudden and surprising tone coming up from the guard. He sat up onto the bench with a grunt, he usually had been a man who worked up all time and to keep himself in good shape, and especially when he was put into a cage, very recentely and by his daughter who was the one that resembled most of the evidence to prove that he was an criminal and deserved to be behind bars for conspiracy of many ordered murders.

And for having destroyed many lives or so. Like the soldiers whom have had volunteered for an experience that went wrong and ordered to have them eliminated. But that's what he had thought or so, until he figured out that there were two and the only ones to have had survived. Vincent Keller and Gabe Lowan. And even if he had killed Lowan whom had managed to come out alive from the dead as an normal human being which was the same for Tori Windsor though. That poor child. She must be frightened now that she has no power within her to defend herself, or didn't she?

The only living beast was Vincent Keller and who was hiding behind this 'War hero mascarade.' And yet, he was the only one who was now a posing threat to him and to everyone. Including Catherine. His only and fleshed blood daughter who had turned her back against him and not only at him but at Vincent who had embraced more of his beast's dark side lately. Unless, Vincent truly had a heart of gold and managed to forgive Catherine, at the very end. Not to forget that the ex-soldier was also human as well. His reclaimed humanity because of the love he carried for Reynolds's daughter and if Tori had been right, that if it wasn't for Vincent, Catherine would have had died along with her mother back at that faithfull night. So maybe, Keller wasn't as bad as he thought he was, unless he could get worse or not-

"Reynolds-"

"I had heard you."He put his legs out of the bench bed and stood up with all his weight up as he stepped closer to the bars."I'm coming up.." His blue eyes looked determinated as he watched the guard inserting the key into the lock as the gate was finally pulled away from his vision. Reynolds walked out with the guard who followed him up back as they both got out of the penitentiary and as they were walking, the silver haired man with orange jumpsuit had asked him.

"Do you know who that person might be?"

"Don't know about it.."

"Detective Chandler?"Reynolds had asked back with a little hope coming from his eyes, but the guard just kept on walking as he shrugged off.

"No clue either." The guard had snorted out for an excuse."You'll figure it out soon, cause he's been sitting up here for an hour or so.." An hour? What the hell did he meant? And even if it wasn't Catherine, who else could it be? Too many questions were going through his head, untl they finally had reached up another room filled up with prisoners and other people who were exchanging a few words over the phone. The phone room, where mostly the prisoners were getting a few minutes to talk up to their family or friends for only a limited time. And yet, Reynolds had stood up into shock when he had seen the man sitting behind the mirror. That face, he had seen it somewhere else and that tiny little scar up from his eyebrow. That man was certainly familiar.

"There he is.." And that man who was sitting behind the mirror with his arms folded up to his chest. To his dark fabric clothes and with the long dark hair and beard. It was no other than Detective Santiago Medina. A man with a few dark secrets and the very same one who owned Special FBI Agent Hendricks a little something.

...

"There you go guys. I'm sorry if this chap wasn't as good as the others, but don't worry. More chapters would come up soon! Would Vincent manage to stop this virus that keeps on growning up to him? What about Cat? Would she get herself into trouble? What about Tori, is she pregnant?

Thank your for your support and love Beasties! See ya!
