Chapter Thirteen

At the same time, when everybody got home, there is one person who is watching them. She was sitting on the driver seat inside her rental car, looking outside to see people coming in and out and making sure that people don't noticed her at all. Her name is Alanna Hennessey and she is here to stalk three certain people.

She was turning on the heater when Alanna saw a taxi stopping in front of Martin and Katie's apartment building. Wanting to see who it was, she got away from the heater, went to her window, and looked through it to see who is coming out of the yellow taxi. When she got to see who it was, Alanna smiled at herself. Outside her window were Martin and some pretty, pregnant blonde woman.

"Oh, Martin. You're some type of a heart breaker. Didn't you know that?" thought Alanna when she saw them, thinking that Martin did something that Katie didn't know about but it was something else. Alanna heard something from the two of them.

"Thanks for your help, Martin. I will see you tomorrow." said the pretty, pregnant blonde woman to Martin. "No problem. Aren't you sure that you needed help to get to Katie's place, Sam? You had to take up six flights to get there." asked Martin with a grin on his face. The pretty, pregnant blonde woman named Sam nodded her head 'no' and told him thanks again. Martin smiled and helped Sam get inside.

After seeing that, Alanna sighed to herself, thinking that she was wrong. The pretty, pregnant blonde woman was actually a friend of Katie and wondering how Katherine got a friend like that. She seems out of her league. "This reminded me of something." said Alanna to herself when she thought of that. That little reminder was from eight years ago, when Katie and Alanna first met each other.

It was in the fall of 1999. Alanna went to DC to visit some friends for a few months from Dublin and this had changed her life forever. During the trip, Alanna met Jim Foster, a US Marine who lived at Quantico and in her opinion; they had gotten along pretty good.

They met at a bar in Norfolk. Alanna was there with her friend, having a Girl's Night Out. An hour into the event, Jim came in with two of his Marine buddies to have fun. After drinking a few shots, Alanna turned around and saw a group of cute men, playing darts. Wanting to know who they are, Alanna turned to her friend to ask her that. Her friend looked at the three of them and answered Alanna's question, "Oh. Those are Greg Parker, Will Costigan, and Jim Foster." while pointing at them so her friend can see who's who.

After she had done pointing at the three men, Alanna smiled at Jim who was the cutest one, wearing a tight navy blue shirt and blue jeans and asked her friend more. 'Who are they?" asked Alanna while staring at the three men especially Jim. After drinking another shot of liquor, her friend turned around and told her that the three of them are US Marines, living at Quantico. After hearing what her friend had just said, Alanna had an idea.

Moments later, Alanna turned to her friend to tell her something. "Sure. What's it?" asked her friend. Alanna cleared her voice and told her that she wanted to buy them a round of drinks and if they accepted it, the two of them will come over and join them. After hearing that plan, her friend nearly spitted her drink and told her that was a bad idea.

"Why it was a bad idea?" asked Alanna who wanted to know why? Her friend swiped the liquor away from her mouth with her sleeve and told Alanna the reason why? "You can't do that because I heard that one of them had a girlfriend he is seriously involved with." answered the friend. "Who it is?" asked Alanna who is staring at the three guys, wishing that one of them don't had a serious girlfriend especially Jim, the guy she liked the most based on the looks for now.

Her friend went over, and whispered to her ear, "Jim Foster." After hearing that, Alanna was shocked. Jim Foster is not available by having a girlfriend. What is the world is doing to her right now? Punishing her? That could be the answer. Wanting to know more, Alanna asked her friend more questions about this girlfriend of his.

"Not that much. I heard that her name is Katie Carter, worked for the police force in DC, and she and Jim had been dating since College." answered her friend who is ordering another drink. "How long they had been dating?" asked Alanna. "Like three years now." answered her friend who is getting confused by this, wanting to know what Alanna is planning to do next.

Alanna saw her friend's face and told her the plan she wanted to do. After hearing that, her friend was shocked again and asked her why? Alanna smiled at her and told her that she didn't see his girlfriend around and think that it is a good idea. Before her friend is telling her that was a bad idea, Alanna called out to the bartender and told him to send out a round of beer to those guys over there, pointing at a group of guys at the darts area. The bartender saw those guys and asked her what type of way she wanted to pay for them. "Cash" answered Alanna with a smile on her face.

The bartender saw that smile, told her 'sure', and went off to get the beer ready. While the bartender was pouring three pints of beer, her friend asked Alanna, "Where you are going to get the cash?" "I had enough to pay for it tonight." answered Alanna. Before her friend asked another question, the bartender was done, gave one of the waitresses to bring those to the group of guys at the darts and tell that the pretty woman in front of the bar had sent them those drinks. The waitress nodded 'yes', grabbed the tray, and went over to them with the drinks.

When Jim threw one of the black darts toward the middle, it went to the bull eye and Jim said to his friends, "YES!!" His friend from basic training, Will joked to him that he wanted a rematch because Jim had gotten so good. Jim joked back and told him that if there is another rematch, he probably will win again. After hearing that, Will shook his blonde buzz cut head and told him that is a bad idea and will never do that again. Jim grinned at him and Greg put down all the darts down so they can start another game.

A minute later, after Greg was done, a waitress came by and put a tray of beers on the table in front of them. "Here they are, guys. Another round of beer." said the waitress. The three of them are confused and in his Boston accent, Will said to her, "but Wendy, we didn't ordered those drinks. This had got to be a mistake." Jim and Greg shook their heads, telling her that they had agreed. Wendy saw those and told the Marines that two girls from the bar had ordered the beers for them. Jim, Will, and Greg turned around and saw two pretty girls smiling at them. They smiled back and told Wendy thanks. Wendy smiled at the Marines and went back to the bar to go back to work.

Each of them grabbed a pint of beer and immediately, Alanna turned to her friend that her idea is working and wanted to go over to them to hang out. Her friend still thinks that is a bad idea and wanted to tell her that but it was too late. Alanna got up and walked over to them. Her friend did the same thing and said to herself, "this is going to happen again."

When Alanna got to the three Marines, she went over to Jim and told him thanks for accepting the drinks. "No problem. I'm Jim." said Jim who held out his hand. Alanna shook his hand and in her Irish accent, she said to him, "Alanna."

--

After that night, they started seeing each other more and more but Jim had spend lesser and lesser time with Katie. Wanting to know what is going on, Katie asked Jim that in her apartment building a month after he met Alanna. After Jim fixed a plumbing problem that Katie had in her sink, he was about to leave to go back to his place to change clothes and go out with a friend who is Alanna. Katie got a little pissed off that her boyfriend didn't spend enough time with her, his girlfriend of three years. She got to tell him what she felt about this.

Katie walked up to Jim who is grabbing his coat by the door and putting it on and said to him the moment Jim put one of his arms into the navy blue wool coat, "Jim. Can I ask you something?" Without looking at her, Jim answered her question by saying, "sure. What's it?" Katie got in front of Jim, and said in her Texan accent, "Why didn't you spend any time with me?"

Jim looked up and saw those pale blue eyes of her and knew that she is worried about him and wanted to know why? Jim put his hands on Katie's arms and told her in a soft voice that she was busy all the time with the jobs with the DC Police Force, the bartending job and other things she had to do. After hearing that, Katie knew that was true. She DID spend all her time with her jobs and other things she had to do but she didn't had time for Jim, her boyfriend of a long time. From all of this, Katie felt like a really stupid girlfriend to Jim and wanted to change it that night.

To tell him about him, Katie put her hands on Jim's arms and with a smile on her face, she told him how she felt about that and wanted to go out with him that night. Jim heard at that, and with a smile on his face, Jim told Katie 'sure' and Katie gave him a kiss on the lips. After kissing for a while, Jim let go of Katie and told her that they are meeting a friend of his at the pub. To tell him 'sure', Katie kissed him on the lips again and right now, Jim helped Katie put her coat on, got into his car to go to his place so he can change and headed back to DC to go to the pub. From all of this, there is one problem. Katie didn't know that the 'friend' they are meeting wasn't a guy, it was a girl named Alanna.

When they got to Morgan's Irish, a popular pub near Georgetown, they got inside right away and headed to the bar where they are meeting the 'friend'. The moment they got there, Jim went over first and talked to a woman who was sitting on one of the bar stools. From hearing of all this, Katie had figured out that the woman was the 'friend' of Jim. This didn't feel right to Katie at all but it actually came true.

After Jim talked to the woman, the two of them got up from their seats and walked over to Katie. When they got to Katie, Jim got behind her back and introduced her to Alanna Hennessey, his 'friend'. "Hi, Katie. It's so nice to meet you. Jim told me so much about you." greeted Alanna in her Irish accent and took out her hand. From hearing that, Katie felt that something about Alanna didn't seem right. Something is wrong with her but she got to know what it is? but right now, Katie had to be nice. Katie shook Alanna's hand and greeted her back. After greeting each other, Jim told the both of the girls that they better go back to the bars to grab some drinks and hang out. Katie and Alanna agreed with that and headed to the bar to hang out with each other.

Hour later, Katie didn't had a great time at the pub. Even through that Alanna asked Katie questions about her life and Jim told her that Katie wanted to worked for the FBI as an Agent ever since she was a little girl after she will finished working for the Police Force, Alanna turned to Katie to tell that was awesome and she could be a very good agent with a smile on her face. Katie told her thanks for that and went back to her drink but throughout the night, Jim and Alanna didn't do anything with Katie.

All that Katie could do is watching Jim and Alanna playing pool and talking about things that Katie didn't know about. Also, she noticed that Alanna drank a lot that night and halfway drunk during the night. Plus, they are touching each other a lot. Katie knew that because that is the way Jim used on Katie who is really the only girl he did it with. It seem very weird right now especially for Katie.

A half hour later, Katie got tired and wanted to tell Jim that she wanted to go home. To tell him that, Katie got up, went over to Jim to step him beside and tell him that. "Jim. If you're okay if I can leave right now because I am really tired and don't want to irrupt you two's game. Is that fine with you?" asked Katie who is staring at Jim. With those big dark brown eyes of his, Jim told Katie 'sure' and will see her tomorrow. Katie smiled at Jim and gave him a kiss on the lips. After doing that, Alanna told Katie that she will see her soon and had a good night then. Katie smiled at that, put on her coat, walked outside, and got a taxi to drive her home so she can rest. During the ride, Katie had a feeling in her skin but didn't know what it is?

--

After that night, Katie started to noticed that Alanna is there every time she sees Jim like when they go out to lunch and Alanna 'accidently' bump into them or when they are just staying in watching TV or movies together and Alanna kept calling Jim's number to see if he is okay? From all of this, Katie started to think that Alanna is following them around but it probably not because from what she heard from Jim, Alanna is lonely and is away from her family and friends. Katie is okay with that because Jim wanted to make Alanna comfortable in the US so she can stopped being lonely. Plus Jim is usually a kind, friendly guy and Katie accepted him for that but one thing had happened a few months later.

In January 2000, Jim called Katie to tell her to come to a motel in Norfolk so they can have a little fun with their sexual relationship. Katie agreed with that and told him that she will meet him there at eight after she finished with work and it sounded like fun. Jim laughed into the phone, told her sure and hung up. Katie put down the phone, smiled at herself, and headed back to work to teach cadets how to shoot with the gun and counted the hours to meet up with Jim and their plan for the night.

At 6:30 pm, Jim got out of work and headed to his house to grab some things for tonight. After putting everything he and Katie needed for the night in a small duffel bag, Jim stayed in his work clothes in case Katie wanted to rip them off his body, put on his coat, got out of the house, locked the door, got into his car, and drove off to the motel to meet Katie and do some things.

The moment he got to the motel, Jim got out of the car, brought himself a room, and went inside to set things up. Fifteen minutes before eight, Jim was almost done when there was a knock on the door. Thinking that Katie had came a little earlier, Jim walked over from the sink, went over to the door, unlocked the door, and opened it up to see Katie in front of him but it wasn't the woman Jim wasn't expecting at the moment. "Hi. Jim." said the woman in front of him. It wasn't Katie. It was Alanna.

Jim was a little shocked that Alanna was here instead of Katie. How did Alanna know where he is at? He didn't had spoken to her for a month now. Is Katie right? Is Alanna was following them? It seems like the truth right now. Wanting to know what she is doing here, Jim asked her that. "Alanna. Why you are here? I didn't tell you about this. I didn't heard a thing from you for like a month." With a smile, Alanna told him the reason why she didn't heard from everyone because she went to Ireland to visit her family and friends for Christmas and right away, she kissed Jim on the lips.

Jim stopped that and told her to go away because he was waiting for someone to come in that isn't her. "You are waiting for whom? Katie?" asked Alanna who got a little pissed off of this. Jim nodded and right away, Alanna looked around and saw many things for having sex. "I guess that was true." said Alanna who is looking around the room right now. Jim felt a little uncomfortable about this right now and wanted Alanna to leave right now.

To tell her that, Jim got in front of her and told her again to get out of here before Katie comes in and see this. Halfway through it, Alanna leaned over to him and kiss him and right away, she caught him under her spider web. Jim Foster was trapped. Moments later, they headed to the bathroom to had sexual intercourse.

Around 8pm, Katie got out of her car and headed up to the motel room where Jim told her to go thirty minutes earlier. With a smile on her face, Katie got in front of the door and knocked on it to tell Jim that she was here. After a minute of no response, Katie knocked on the door again and another minute later, there's still no answer. Wanting to get in before she will freeze to death from the cold winds, Katie put her hand on the doorknob and turned it around to see if it was unlocked. Right away, the door was wide open.

Katie got inside and founded no one there. The lights were on and there were a lot of things on the table. To see if Jim was here, Katie called out his name and nothing came out after she called out his name. Starting that Jim might be missing or kidnapped, Katie was about to get out her cell to call the police to report a missing person or maybe called NCIS but Katie definitely don't want to tell Gibbs about this. This will be too weird. Halfway getting out her cell and dialing a number, Katie heard a noise from the bathroom.

It sounded weird like people are doing something very disgusting. To see what it was, Katie walked to the bathroom and opened the door to see who it was. When the door was finally opened, Katie peeked through and felt her jaw dropped. "Oh my fucking god, Jim." In front of her, Jim and Alanna are having sex on the bathroom floor.

After saying that, Jim looked up and saw his girlfriend, watching them Doing It with an angry look on her face. Angrily, Katie walked over to Jim, grabbed him by the shoulder, and said to Jim, "Get off of her!!" Jim did what Katie told him to do and with Katie, they went back to the bedroom so Katie put some sense into him!!

Alanna got off the bathroom floor and went to the door so she can hear what Jim and Katie are talking about. From where she was at, she heard a lot of arguing. "Katie. I can explain." Jim. "No, James. You can't." Katie. "But Katie Bear, you got to listen to me." Jim. "Please stop calling me that." Katie. "Fine, Kate. This didn't suppose to happen at all." said Jim. A moment of silence had arrived. A minute later, this time, it was Katie. "No, Jim. You don't have to explain. I know what you really are. I thought that you are different from other men but I guessed that I was wrong." Then, another moment of silence. "Katie Carter. Don't leave me here like this. Please, Kate." Jim. After another one of those silences, something had happened in the other room.

A hard slap on the face had occurred. Then, a moment later, someone had left the motel room. Seconds later, footsteps are coming to the bathroom door. Alanna waited quietly to see who it was. A minute later, the door was opened and in front of her was Jim Foster with a little pinkness on his right cheek. Looking a little mad, Jim got in front of her, told her to go home, and never see him again. Don't wanting Jim to be more mad at her, Alanna got up, grabbed her things, put on her coat, and left. After she had left, Jim walked over to the mirror to look at his face. When he got to the mirror, Jim looked at his reflection and was very disappointed of himself.

When Alanna got into a cab five minutes later, she told the driver to drive her anywhere. The driver told her sure and took off. The moment the taxi drove away from the curb, Alanna looked outside her window and saw the reflection of herself. "I can't believed that I just did that." thought Alanna.

--

Alanna was woken up from her flashback and now sitting on the driver seat in a rental car in New York years later. Wanting to see what time it is, she turned on the engine and turned to the radio clock to see what time it is? In front of her, the time was almost 7:30. It was an hour and a half after she saw Martin and Sam getting inside. "Martin probably is inside with my Sara, and the blonde woman probably with Katie, having fun." thought Alanna.

Don't wanting to be bored to death, Alanna turned on the radio and an U2 song had came on. It was playing 'Beautiful Day'. "Jim probably like this song." thought Alanna when she heard Bono's voice. Jim like U2. So are Katie and Alanna. So are all people of an Irish background. This song took Alanna back to a time years after the incident.

It was the summer of 2002; Alanna went to Cabo San Lucas with a friend of her on vacation. So was Jim. They ran into each other at a bar. 'Beautiful Day' was playing in the background while the two of them are chatting and having drinks. Later that night, they went to Jim's hotel room and started having well sex. That is the night they made their daughter.

Nine months later, when Sara was born, while holding her into her hands, Alanna wanted her then unknown daughter to have a better life, not a bad life like Alanna. She can have a better life with Jim. To do that, with her baby girl in her hands, Alanna put Sara into an unused baby carrier, put a blanket over her, and went past security to get over to Jim's house and put her on the doorstep. When she put Sara there, Alanna turned around and begin to cry because she just left her daughter, Sara with her father.

Alanna thought many times about her daughter. She even thought of getting her back into her life. Alanna did it two times before. The first one was when Sara was only six months but she can't because of Katie. The second time was when Jim died. Alanna went to DC to get Sara back but she also can't because Sara went into the system so she didn't know where she will be at and also, Katie was there.

"Man. Katie. I HATE you so much." thought Alanna when she looked at Katie's windows. The lights are on and Katie went over to put her curtains down. After Katie was done, she went back. Alanna saw that and thought of a plan. She wanted Sara back into her life for good. Away from Katie. She doesn't want that woman to take care of Sara. Alanna hated her guts. She didn't want to do this to Martin since he seen like a really neat father and a good person but she really wanted to make Katie mad like hell. Alanna doesn't trust her for all she did.

Alanna went back to the clock to see what time it is. It was 8pm. She saw a cab went by but it stopped in front of the building. Alanna looked at the cab and saw two women standing at the side of the yellow cab. Alanna looked closely to see who it was. Moments later, Alanna made a face to herself. It was Katie who is helping her friend getting into the cab. She saw Katie waved good-bye to her friend and seconds later, the cab had got away. The moment Katie got back inside, the only word coming out of Alanna's mouth is this: Bitch.

Seconds later, the door was closed and Alanna looked at the building again. "Sara. Sweetie. I will get you back no matter what even through that I had to do a very bad thing to the people you love the most." said Alanna. She had to do it soon so she doesn't forget about it. Right now, Alanna put her feet to the pedals to drive off and had to figure things out.
