The following morning Ben was making breakfast when John walked in. "Morning." Ben said smiling.

John sat on the stool. "We need to talk about what happened and why you've been lying to me."

Ben stopped and looked up at John. "What are you talking about?"

"You know what the hell I'm talking about!" John yelled "Why did you lie to me about not recognizing anyone in that room. His finger prints were all over the house Ben. Now because of your lies one of them was let go."

"Who was let go?" Ben asked.

"Why the hell do you want to know?" John growled out. "Did you lie about it?"

Ben looked down. "Yes." he said quietly.

John got up and started pacing back and forth. Suddenly he freaked and punched a hole in the wall. "God damn it Ben! Why the hell would you do something like that? We're trying to catch the guys that attacked you and you lie about something like that."

"John I'm sorry." Ben cried out.

John took a deep breath. "Just tell me why?"

Ben sighed "The other guy, the leader or whoever, came here and he told me that if his brother doesn't walk out of that jail he was going to cut the baby out of my stomach and strangle it with his bare hands."

John walked over to him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want anything to happen. John I'm so sorry I lied." Ben started to cry.

John sighed and pulled Ben into his arms. "Don't cry it will be alright. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."

Ben wrapped his arms around John's waist. "I'm sorry."

"Shhh" John said swaying him from side to side. "Is there anything else I should know?"

Ben pulled back. "The guy's name was Chris Andrews and his little brothers name is Lewis. That's why I have to know who that guy is in jail."

John looked down. "We found Lewis finger prints all over the house. He's the one we have in jail. We let the other kid go yesterday."

Ben stepped back "Then he's going to come here."

"Hey" John placed both hands on his face. "Do you trust me?" Ben nods "Do you love me?" he nods again. "Then let me handle it okay. I won't let anything happen to you and another thing we need to get you away from all this."

Ben's eyes grew wide. "You can't just send me away John."

"Ben you're almost five months now and if you keep stressing like this were going to lose the baby. I need you to be alright and you're not here." John sighed "It's just until everything settles down here. I promise I'll call you everyday but will you please just do this for me. It won't be for long I promise."

Ben knew John was right so he gave in. "OK I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Thank you." John moves back. "Now I want you to go pack up some clothes for me while I make some calls."

Ben nods "OK"

Meanwhile

Chris was pacing back and forth. "I can't believe this is happening."

"I told him to use gloves Chris but he wouldn't listen to me."

"Stay here I got something to do." He leaves.
