Dedicated to Aaron. Fly high friend.

As Beckett and Ryan pulled up three blocks away from their destination just for safety, even though they used the old taxi cab cover.

"Thanks Campbell." Beckett said as Ryan stepped out of the car. "Just, be careful." Campbell said nervously. Beckett was a little confused on why he seemed so nervous, but she shrugged it off and stepped out of the car.

As Campbell drove away, Ryan turned to Beckett. "Ready?" He asked, "Ya. I'm ready." She replied confidently.

This was a bad part of town for sure. Police didn't come by to much, and this is where many murders and kidnaps happen. As they were walking, they saw a young teenager buying crack off of a dealer.

Ryan and Beckett ignored it knowing that they weren't cops. They were now Shane 'Ryder' and Brooke Cross.

As the two came closer to the warehouse where they did business, they were being watched by everyone who passed by. It was like they all knew each other, and knew who was new, and knew who wasn't.

"I guess we're here." Beckett said, "Great." Ryan said sadly, "You have to be a bit excited to be here. Just play it cool." Beckett ordered.

"So when are our newbies coming?" Angela asked her husband, Insanity. "They should be on their way." He asked in his deep voice.

Angela was a very beautiful blonde women, who has been illegally married to Insanity for two years now. Through elementary school, she was the smartest in her classes. Angela's parents were then killed in a random shooting when she was in 7th grade. She was then sent into a foster home. The bad kind.

Her foster parents never paid attention to her, and her older brother Donnie, was a druggie. Donnie decided she could be a good use for the gang he worked for. Years later, she became dedicated with Donnie, and fell in love the leader, Insanity.

If anything ever happened to Insanity, Angela would take over with the help of Donnie.

Everything worked in a system. Insanity liked to relate his members as a wolf pack.

Alphas- Insanity, and Angela

Beta- Donnie

Sentinels- Jordan, Leon, Wes, Seth

Assassins- Drake, Tommy

Lead Scout- Daryl

Scouts- Adam, Parker, Shane, Brooke

Omegas- Yuri, Calvin

"Yo, you Shane and Brooke?" A tall, shady man named Leon asked Ryan and Beckett, "Ya, man." Ryan replied, "Come with me." Leon ordered and they followed.

"Insanity?" Calvin approached him, "Are these our new dealers?" Insanity said cutting Leon off with a smile.

"Ya, they said they were." He replied, "Alright, Leon, thank you." Insanity thanked and he took off.

"You must be Shane." He said shaking his hand, "Yes sir." Ryan replied.

"So your Brooke?" Angela asked, "Yes, and your Angela." Beckett asked already knowing, "Ya." She replied with no interest in her at all.

"And your Brooke?" Insanity shook her hand, "That's me." Beckett replied with a grin.

"Are you Shane?" Brooke asked turning to Ryan, "Uh, yea. And you are?" Ryan asked playing confused already knowing enough about her from Spade.

"I'm Angela." She said in a flirty way and a smile. Ryan already felt uncomfortable, and this was not helping one bit. He knew she was with Insanity, and it was just probably a thing. Esposito did it to Tori all the time.

"Well then. Congratulations to the both of you, and you will be now escorted to your room a block away. I would like you to report back here tomorrow morning at 7:30. Have a good rest of the day." Insanity said as he yelled for Leon to come back and escort them.

Angela gave Ryan a flirty look that meant a "see you soon" in a weird way. He would tell her that he was with Brooke soon. Ryan wanted to know where she would want to go with this.

"I think we did pretty good." Ryan said happily unpacking in the run-down motel room, "Just wait until tomorrow. They're gonna check our whole room, and obviously ourselves for anything snitch related. I'm surprised they didn't do it now." Beckett warned him.

Ryan and Beckett spent the whole day talking about their thoughts on the gang, and just themselves in general. Once night hit, Ryan wanted to know how Castle was with all of this going on.

"He's alright, but he's just upset." She said sadly, "I could tell. He seemed pretty ticked off." Ryan replied understanding, "How did Jenny take it." Beckett asked wanting to not talk about the one she missed already.

"Same way, except she became pretty supportive towards the end, which threw me off guard. She was just upset I had to leave Sarah Grace, well, I was too." Ryan admitted.

"I'm sure you were. It's hard." She replied trying to cheer him up. "I wake up and go to work knowing that it could be my last day. I just couldn't imagine Jenny raising Sarah Grace and then having to tell her about what really happened to me. And worse comes to worse, she goes through some kind of depression stage and never grows out of it."

"Ryan, we would make sure that would never happen to you. We're a team, and that's what we do." Beckett said with a sad grin.

"Thanks. The truth is, I thought it would never happen to me, but after the fire, and almost losing everything I ever lived for, it was like a warning or a wake up call saying that it's gonna happen, or something is gonna mess me up forever." Ryan confessed.

"Hey, I've had the same thing happen to me numerous times, and the only thing you can do is just pray. Pray every night that you'll make it another day, that's what I do." Beckett said raising his spirit back up.

"I could tell you've been there. Hell, I don't if you couldn't after all the things you've been through." Ryan said recalling the time Beckett got shot, and the numerous times she's been kidnapped and tortured.

"It's a process you gotta get through. It's very crazy, and when I say crazy, I mean crazy. You just have to hold on with the ones you love, and you will make it past it. We all do."

"Thanks, Kate." Ryan said glad that he had this talk with her. "No problem, Kev."

I'm sorry for the short wait. I've had the worst week of my life with a project that I had to do for three other people, and my friend who died on the 14th. I shockingly found time to write this chapter, and I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. Thanks for reading and tell me what you think.
