Dave Bautista threw down the files on his desk as he fell back into his chair. "This fucking case is kicking my ass." He cursed out loud grabbing the attention of his colleagues.

"Oh. It's always a pleasure to hear that coming from your mouth." Paul Levesque stated as he sent an amused smirk towards Dave.

Dave flicked his eyes over at Paul. "Get off my balls, Levesque. You know you love me all too much." That comment had the rest of the guys laughing and Paul getting up in a huff as he exited the room.

Paul and Dave worked together, but never liked each other. A lot of it had to do with Dave moving ahead of Paul in such a fast manner that there was bound to be jealousy between the two males.

"So I'm guessing from an earlier comment that there's nothing new with the case." Randy spoke up as he crossed over to Dave's desk.

"You guessed right." Dave started. "Not one person that night saw anything other then the three that were involved."

Randy rested a hip on the edge of the desk as he tossed through the files. "Yeah. One of them being my sister." A sick feeling in his stomach returned when he had to think of somebody out there wanting to kill her.

Dave read the look on his face. "Who happens to be my wife." He pointed out grabbing Randy's attention again. "Who the fuck would want to harm Sophia? Does she have a secret past that none of us no about?" He meant that last comment in a sarcastic way, but after saying it he and Randy just stared at each other.

Randy hopped off the desk as he crossed over to grab his coat off his chair. "She may be my sister, but I don't know everything about her."

Dave grunted as he followed suit. Having to question his wife again. Definitely something he didn't sign up for when he took the job.

"You drive." Dave ordered throwing the keys to Randy.

"She's my sister." Randy commented as they slid into the car.

Dave sighed as he stared out the window. "Yeah, but I fell in love with her." He pointed out as he slid his seatbelt on.

Randy just nodded his head as he pulled out of the parking lot. This was probably the third or fourth time he had to question her about everything, but this time it was going to be a whole different set of questions.

Sophia had just gotten back from her weekly visit with John when she heard the key turning in the lock. A smile crossed her face in anticipation of seeing her husband. Hopping off the couch she walked over to meet him as he walked through the door.

"Baby." She greeted as he walked in.

Dave wrapped his arms around his wife when she hopped into his arms. A quick kiss was given before Randy let his presence be known.

"Oh hey Randall. I didn't even see you there." Sophia apologized as she made way to give her brother a quick hug.

Randy grimaced at his nickname. "You know I hate it when you call me that." He stated as he watched Sophia close the door behind them.

Sophia smirked as she brushed past him. "Exactly."

Randy made a face behind her back and received a 'look' from Dave. "Yeah. You're definitely the younger sibling." He stated out loud receiving a frown from his partner slash brother-in-law.

Sophia took her place back on the couch as she watched the two men take the seats across from her. She scrunched her eyebrows at the setting.

"Is something wrong?" She blurted out grabbing their attention.

Dave cleared his throat as he slipped his jacket off. "No. Why would there be?" He lied.

Sophia sighed as she sat back and crossed her arms. "Dave." She stated sternly.

Dave grimaced at the look that she gave him. He may be there to interrogate her, but she was still indeed his wife.

"Seriously nothing is wrong." Randy put in as he adjusted his feet on the table.

Sophia crossed her legs. "Feet down…" She directed towards her brother.

Randy quickly did what he was told. "Sorry." He stated softly.

Dave couldn't help the chuckle that came out. "I could just imagine when you and Stacy are finally married." He continued to laugh until his wife's voice shut him up.

"This isn't a typical family visit is it?" She questioned as the two men slowly turned their heads to look at her.

"Of course it is." Randy started as he nudged Dave for the previous comment. "We had some spare time and what better way to spend it." He finished as he directed a polite smile towards his sister.

Sophia sent a glare to both men. "Really?" She started. "Then why is my husband sitting across from me with that look." She pointed out.

Randy turned to see what she was talking about and smirked when Dave pushed his face out of the way.

"What look?" Dave questioned trying to play dumb.

Sophia sucked her teeth as she leaned forward. "That look that you wear every time you step out of that door to go to work." She informed. "What do you want to question me about this time?" She questioned. "You know I'd tell if anything where to pop up."

Dave stalled for a while. "Sophia…"

"Dave. Just shut up and ask what you are here to ask." She stated with a grim look on her face. Not exactly something she was looking forward to when her husband walks through the door.

Both men looked at each other and knew they were both in trouble, but just decided to do what they were there to do. Dave gave in as he pulled out his notepad from his back pocket.

"Baby. It's just something that we have to do." He stated hoping to somewhat calm the situation.

"Dave. Don't test me anymore then you should." Sophia stated as she rose from the couch to grab the water bottle she'd left on the kitchen counter.

Dave sighed. Damn it. "We've gone back and forth on this case for weeks now and all we've done is hit a dead end every time." He started as his wife indicated for him to go on. "You know we have to consider everything when investigating a crime like this." He paused to look over at Randy who was trying his best not to make eye contact with his sister.

Sophia closed her eyes as she twisted the cap of the bottle. "Please. Just get to the point."

Dave moved around in his seat. "Sophia." He stated her name so she'd look their way. "We know the fact that someone is out there who wants to kill you, but the part we don't know about is why." Sophia nodded as she took a drink. "Sophia." He stated her name again as he took a breath. "Is there a past that Randy and I should know about?"

Sophia choked as she tried to swallow the cold liquid. "Past?" She managed to choke out.

Dave nodded. "Yeah. Something that you've done in the past to have someone out there wanting to kill you."

Sophia swallowed this time out of nervousness. "Oh." Was all she managed to get out before everything went black.
