It's been five years since she faked her death, five years since she slowly lost conscience hearing him beg her not to leave him again.

It's been three years since she knew her best friend, her lover, The second man she saw a future with. She knew she had now seen her on security cameras holding a gun to Raymond Red Reddington. Three years since Reddington left a letter explaining how he had faked her death so she could go into hiding for two years to recover from everything and learn how to take over his criminal empire and that when the time comes she'll come back and give them cases just like he did the blacklist would return. It's been three years since she watched her face go back up on the FBI's most wanted list. It's been three years since her best friend had to start hunting her again. It's been three years since they read the letter where it explained how Red was really Katarina and the surgery he had to go through.

Been two years since she and Cooper had talked and she finally convinced him to step down and let Ressler become the assistant director of the task force. She knew he would call him time and time again because he didn't know how much more he could handle hunting her down all over again it was destroying him and she hated it. When she found out he wanted to take the pills again broke her into 1 million pieces and she cried herself to sleep that night because she knew it wasn't safe yet for her to go onto his life

It's been one year since she found out he was with another woman. She knew the truth about this woman and the secret she held but Liz needed to get the proofs together so she could take her down. But it made her happy that he found someone who could at least take the pain away and he saw he could build a life with her but didn't stop her from staying up late at night crying thinking how he was holding another woman and loving on her the way he did her at one point.

She knew what today was, it was time she came into their lives, it was time they started the blacklist again.

She's got up that morning at 4:15 getting dressed into some light clothes and then driving an hour to DC to one of her safe houses. It was now 5:45 AM

Once inside she grabbed a black jacket gray T-shirt black ripped up jeans and boots walking into the bathroom and starting the hot shower. As she was taking off her clothes her mind wandered to their night together how she could still imagine him kissing her, cupping her breast, The grunts and groans she could get him to make one stroking him the right way, The way she dragged her nails into his back. The way she kissed down her body and she took off her jeans and panties, The way it felt to feel him coming inside of her, The way his head fell onto his shoulder when she wrapped her legs around him.

When she was in the shower she stood there for a minute imagining him getting in with her right now rubbing his hands up and down her body claiming her as his once again. Proving their love for one another over and over, as she got dressed she imagined him helping her pick out her outfit for work helping her get dressed. Imagining he'd be kissing her as they would leave for work together.

I'd do anything to be their with you honey…

walking out of the bathroom making herself a cuppa coffee and breakfast as she heard a knock on the door. Slowly walking over with her gun and hand looking through the Partments people saying it was Rocco

"Hey" She greeted him opening the door for him to walk in all the way move into the kitchen as she poured him a cup of coffee

He had a suitcase with her and put it down on the table "The papers are their miss"

"Thank you" She replied handing him a cup of coffee as she took a sip of her own

" go start the car" She said to him he nodded to her taking his cup of coffee with him going and getting the car started

She walked into her room opening her bag as she looked at a photo of him and her

Hey baby… today's the day I hope you're ready I'm sorry for the problems it's about to cause.. God I wish we were away right now far away from this world. You and me happily together, that's where we should be right now, maybe we will get there one day…

She's slowly move the photo of them aside letting the tears come to her eyes she was scared she then found a photo she had taken a while back with Reddington

Hey dad… I hope you're proud of me I hope I'm doing it all the right way it's hard sometimes without you here telling me what to do or telling me it was gonna be OK or what steps to take next but I think it's already I think I'm ready today is the day I'm going in the same way you did…

She let out a yelp she one of the soul to be a bad dream she just wanted to be in Dons arms him holding her like he always would when she cried telling her it was all going to be okay and how much she loved her.

30 minutes later that's where she found herself outside where Redington surrendered himself 13 years ago into her life the day everyone's life forever changed.

" must feel good to be home again Miss" Rocco said to her looking straight ahead

" yeah well we'll see about that" she said getting up slowly walking inside to the front desk

She knew Panabaker already had her letter for plea agreement, the blacklist starts up again as long as she gets full immunity. She sent Samar back six months ago and one months ago that's when she sent the letter to Navabi giving a Panabaker explaining the situation of what needs to happen. She had soon gotten a letter back from Panabaker saying once it was time an immunity deal would be broken, the same one her father was given.

Walking inside up to a lady at the main desk, and she slowly pulled out a passport "I'm Here to see Director Donald Ressler"

" do you have an appointment with him?" The young woman questioned

"No tell him it's a Elizabeth Keen" she said smiling handing her her passport walking to the middle of the room with her suitcase as she took off her jacket and hat soon the sirens went off detecting shoes she was red flashing lights guns pointed she was quickly on her knees hands above her head.

Here we go

It all happen fast she was being pushed and shoved the next thing she knew she was inside of the same Redbox Reddington had taken her in he had kindly returned it.

But then she saw her three old colleagues in front of her eyes wide and mouth dropped

"Liz…" Aram breathe out in a whisper

" I protocols are really being set in motion as we speak. I know because I set off series of events that would happen once I would be arrested. Main justice is on their way and I already have a deal in place… but like my father theirs one important rule…"

Everyone looking at her figuring they know what the rules going to be

"Go get Ressler but from here on out I only speak with Donald Ressler"

All looking at each other not surprised at all one bit quickly turning around walking to go and get their boss and tell him what has happened

She sits patiently waiting..
