Elena sat beside the small sleeping child, laying beside her. Caressing her fingers through the little girl's hair. Brendan filled the paperwork and read any possible leads as who and why anyone would target his niece Stacey walked over to Elena and handed a cup of refreshment tea.

"I hope you didnt mind, I brought you a cup of tea." elena smiled, accepted the cup graciously. "Thankyou."

Stacey smiled, sat down beside elena and asked. "Would my membership to the phoenix dojo still be active or would I need to renew?"

Elena smiled. "You are welcome to continue your training as long you are still interested and yes, renew your membership."

"Of course, jacinta's legacy has given me what I needed to leave a abusive boyfriend." Stacey opened unexpectedly.

"Abusive boyfriend? But you work here." elena glanced confused. "Part-time. And the problem was, he is able to buy his way out from things." stacey sighed.

"Stacey you gotta tell someone." elena encouraged. "Who? You think, I'd be lucky to get a break and have him arrested?" stacey whispered, fearfully worried.

"You are on he run from him aent you? Stacey isnt your real name is it?"

"Stacey is my middle name. The only name no one knows. Can we keep this between us please."

"Of course, we can and just between us girls, my husband is going to be the dojo's newest instructor soon."

"New instructor? Cool, when do I get to meet him?"

"Well, soon as the citizenship has approved first."

Stacey glanced suddenly and said. "He isnt a citizen yet?"

"No not yet, but will be." elena smiled, before stacey coukd ask het a question, brendan walked out and interrupted. "Everything ok? Did i interrupt?"

"No, its fine. I have to get back to work." stacey smiled. "You have made a friend." brendan commented. "Stacey happens to be one of my students." elena answered.

"Small world afterall."

"Yes, it is but the world is bigger and going to be bigger then before." elena replied, enthusicatically. "Very proud of you my dear niece Your mother will be proud of you." elena smiled, happily.

"Anyway, reports have shown this girl is a runaway."

"Runaway? From what? And so very young."

"Detroit, apparently. Not sure exactly." elena turned alittle, caressed her little head and tucked away her hair. "Why so far away from home and how did she get to new york?"

"That's what we are trying to find out."brendan glanced to the doors that opened behind him, both officer graham and O'brien walked in with the box. "Ms reite, this envelope is for you."

Taking the envelope, not wanting to disturb the sleeping child on her lap. Opening the envelope, before she read the letter. She also took out a photograph but it was faced down as she held it. Raised her brow as she read the note.

"What is it? Let me see that, elena." brendan asked, worried. Elena handed the note with the photograph unknowing what the photograph had possessed. Brendan read the note then looked at the photograph of a mutilated alligator. Instructed immediately. "Get rid of this! Dont open it."

"What is in the box, uncle." elena asked, worried. "You dont want to know or see it, elena. Get back to the youth community ce tre and back your husband. Right now." Held her biceps as he leaned over to elena as she remained seated with rosie, laying on her lap.

"Alright uncle, what about the girl?" she wondered. "I'll stay with her, she'll be aleight. She isnt the target."

Gently lifted rosie's head from her lap and stood up then asked once more. "What's in the box?"

"Elena, please go back to the youth centre and to your husband where you will be safe." brendan begged. "I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what was in the box."

Brendan sighed, finally he answered. "A head of a grey wolf."

Her eyes widened fearfully. "Oh god, so it has began?"

"Go back to your father and your husband while you still can and I will find out who is respinsible for this. Please elena, go back to the youth centre where you will be safe."

Elena finally obeyed, nodded. "Ok uncle." He embraced his niece and said. "Good girl. Officer belfleur."

"Yes sergent." elena glanced between her uncle and officer belfleur. Once she parted from brendan's embrace but still held his hands.

"Escort my niece back to the youth centre."

"Of course, sergent rickson." Holding his hand to elena and said. "Come with me ms reite."

"Uncle, get the sunvabitch and make him pay." brendan nodded, promising. "I will Elena. Count on it."

Elena walked out with officer belfleur, brendan watched over the girl and requested for the note to be analyzed. Little Rosie awoken shortly after Elena and belfleur left the station. Rosie watched with widened eyes and hurried to Brendan's side, shaking his hand.

"What is it sweetie?" brendan asked, rosie pointed to belfleur and cried. "He is a bad man."

Brendan knelt down as Rosie lifted her shirt and revealed the bruising on her little body. " He is a bad man, he hurt me."

Brendan glanced rosie and upon her injuries then looked to the direction of her pointing toward belfleur as he glanced back, evilly smiled.

"Oh god, stop him." brendan ordered, hurriedly stood up and handed Rosie to stacey. "What's wrong?" Stacey cried, taking Rosie then she realised as she saw the bruises. "Oh god."

Brendan ran out after belfleur to rescue his niece as she was unaware of the situation and continued in the patrol car. Brendan was too late, belfleur drove awaybas brendan was followed by a coupke of other officers. "Go after him, now!"

Brendan ordered, bellowing angrily. "Get me his profile too. I want to know who he really is."

Thirty seconds away, belfleur looked to Elena and waited for the opportunity to strike as he drove steadily in the direction of the center but deliberately took a back way to delay the travel.

"This isn't the way to my fathers center." Elena realised she wasn't exactly safe. Decided to play along, to not give away any suspicions that she suddenly knew the danger she is in.

"Are we been tailed?"

"Possibly." he answered, realising Elena was onto him.

"So why are we going this way?" she wondered. "To avoid whomever is tailing us."

"Do you know why?" she asked. He suddenly stopped and sighed harshly then she whispered quickly. "It's you. You sent the note."

Belfleur didn't answer, sighed then launched toward Elena with a chloroformed cloth and held her face until she lost consciousness.

Soon as she lost consciousness, he reached to the walkie talkie and said, calling in.

"Dispatch, I got the girl. I have Elena reite."
