When they approached the sliding glass door they noticed it was broken and open. Matt put down the fishing gear and drew his gun, positioning himself in front of C.J. She stayed behind him as he cautiously made his way up the stairs. After going through each room they found that the only things disturbed were the boxes with information on the case and a rose left on Chris' bed with a note that read, Remember me?

C.J. called Hoyt once they got inside and Matt came out of Chris' room clearly furious so she asked, "What? What did you find?"

Matt answered, "A message. You were right I think. That sedan you spotted yesterday and the one that nearly ran you off the road today I believe belongs to whoever attacked Chris."

She went up to the room and closed her eyes, "That animal was in her room, standing right over her bed." She could just hit something.

Matt took her by the hand to the living room and they discussed what to do now. They decided to let the police search for evidence on the break in, that would help Chris' case if it ever came to trial and Matt would get additional security for the house. While Matt called into his security people and offered generous overtime to stake out his beach house and just watch it, she left and went up to the master bedroom. She took out her gun and made sure it was loaded. She thought to herself, 'If the man who did this to her is dead after breaking into the beach house again, there won't be a trial.'

Matt walked in and sat down beside her on the bed. "You know I'm right beside you, I won't let whoever this is get that close to you again." He told her.

She smiled at him, "I know you are, but I want to make sure I can help protect Chris if this monster comes back." He nodded his head and held her for a second until they heard the doorbell.

Hoyt came in with about 5 guys to process the scene quickly. Matt had called Roy and told him to take Chris out for ice cream or to pick up a movie or something to stall until they could get the police out of there. They didn't want to scare Chris and knew this note would do that. As they processed everything, one officer called Hoyt over to see something.

Hoyt, Matt and C.J. walked over and found another note in the evidence box that read, Just checking on your progress. You have one day, bitch. Matt ran his hands through his hair and looked at C.J. who looked startled and turned away.

He turned around with her and put his arms around hers and reminded her what he told her earlier. She nodded her head.

Once Chris got back she didn't notice a thing out of place. Matt carried her suitcase up to the room and then Chris and C.J. started to unpack it. That left Roy and Matt by the couch to talk about the case. Matt had already shared what he found out this morning about the accident and C.J. almost being run off the road.

"He knows where Chris is now." Matt started, shaking his head.

Roy nodded his head, "You got extra security outside?"

Matt nodded and added, "He also has my wife in his sights, he left her a little note."

Roy looked at Matt and could see the fury in his eyes. "We need to protect both of them. I'll stick close to Chris and you stick close to C.J. Between the two of us and your security people, we should have our bases covered."

Matt looked at Roy, "When I get my hands on whoever this is…"

Roy stopped him and said, "When we get our hands on whoever this is, we are going to turn them over the proper authorities. I'm not saying they won't be a little worse for the wear, but we will hand something over."

At that point Roy put down his drink and said, "Looks like we have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow. I'll stop by around 9, right? That when you two are leaving to talk to the client?"

Matt nodded his head, "I appreciate it Uncle Roy. I know I can't go in the room with C.J. when she interviews this guy, but I'm not leaving her alone for a second until we get this solved and whoever this is in jail where he belongs."

Roy left and Matt sat back down on the couch. He looked at his glass and could hear the two women laugh for just a second about something. He was glad to hear that but his mind shifted back to catching the one responsible for hurting Chris and targeting C.J. The question that started to nag at him was, would he stop himself if he had this person in his reach. Would he cross that line? He felt protective of Chris and had always, most of his life that is, felt protective of C.J. However, now that she was not only his best friend still, but also his wife, protective just didn't quite describe it anymore. It was more primal and he knew if this faceless figure so much as touched his wife, he was as good as dead when Matt found him.

As C.J. came slowly out of Chris' room Matt walked up behind her and slipped his arms around her and softly told her, "I love you, let's go to bed."

She turned around let him hold her for a second and then took his hand and walked with him. They showered together. He started kissing her neck as they entered the room and helped her undress. Before they knew it, an hour had passed in that shower and as they both centered themselves again Matt held her face and told her. "Whatever happens, know that I love you."

C.J. looked up at him frightened by the comment, "What do you mean?"

Matt took a deep breath and reached for the towel to dry her off and said, "I only mean that if anything ever does happen to me, I want it clear to you." He stopped for a second and decided to tell her about Hoyt and Chris taking care of her when he went missing.

C.J. was shocked, "I didn't know, how did they do that?" she blinked and he toweled off her cheek. "I couldn't lose you and I couldn't accept that you were just gone." She let a tear escape.

Matt took his thumb and wiped that tear and told her, "I know. That was how I felt when you went missing in Arizona. I hadn't told you yet, and I just want to make it clear to you. I've never loved anyone the way I love you. And no matter what happens, I love you and I want you to be safe. Ok? You have to stay safe."

They held each other for another minute before going finally to bed. They held each other as they slept and thankfully this night, neither had a nightmare. In fact, Matt dreamed of a small infant who had dark curly hair and his eyes.
