A/N: Anyone else think Eve was channeling Agent Smith from the Matrix in episode 9? I wanted her to say "Mr. Anderson" just once. Okay to my AU story.

Chapter 6 Juliette

Hank and Trubel had come over to toast Monroe for his help in a Wesen case. A litter of Luison brothers were driving the wife of one of them insane making her think she saw a wolf-like creature everywhere she turned. Nick had scoffed at it saying the wife probably was schizophrenic like the doctors diagnosed, Hank told them, which concerned Hank and made Monroe out right worried about Nick's welfare. Hank speculated that Nick avoided coming over to their house because he knew everyone's opinion on this matter. Juliette stewed while listening. As much as she had resented the disruption Nick being a Grimm had brought to their life, at least they had a life together. It had been weeks and Nick still didn't remember her or try to speak with her. She was not satisfied to give up what was hers so easily. Why couldn't she just let Nick go? How could she let go of the life that should be hers?! She had struggled for it. She had sacrificed for him, loved him. Juliette couldn't let him go.

Suddenly bright flickering light flooded Monroe and Rosalee's living room from their front picture window. Running out front, there was a stake aflame in their yard. Juliette recognized the symbol on fire. Hank asked, "What is it?"

"It's a Wolfsangel, it's Wesen," Monroe responded clutching Rosalee to him.

"Why?" Hank seemed bewildered.

"It's because we got married!" Rosalee was close to tears with her reply.

With concern Hank replied, "You better get back inside. I'll go check the back."

Watching the flames Juliette thought, Nick needs to be a Grimm again, as she determined to make it so while Hank put out the fire. Returning inside Juliette heard Monroe growl, "Cowards, I mean cowards," his eyes aglow with Blutbad red.

"We can call this in if you want," Hank tried to reassure him.

"What good's that going to do," Monroe spat.

"Maybe I can track them," Trubel interjected for the first time clearly worried.

"We could make arrests," Hank finished for Trubel.

"That's not going to stop them," Monroe huffed, "And Trubel thanks, but I'm not sure you're experienced enough to help this time." Trubel nodded agreement.

"Who's them?" Hank inquired.

"Most likely the Seundum Naturae Ordinem Wesen. It's an ancient organization founded in the middle ages to keep Wesen pure," Rosalee responded collapsing onto their couch.

Sitting next to Rosalee on the arm of the sofa Monroe said, "To them, intermarriage is a crime against man and nature."

"So something like this has happened before?" Hank was trying to gather the facts.

"Yes. That cracked window at the spice shop, it was a brick," Rosalee returned pathetically.

"I was there. I saw the brick. It had that symbol out there on it," Juliette pointed out. This whole mess was getting out of hand.

"So a Wolfsangel is their burning cross," Hank concluded with a knowing anger.

"Yes! It was originally a wolf trap, or in my ancestors case, a Blutbadan trap," Monroe clarified.

"It came to symbolize control over all Wesen," Rosalee finished for him.

"Is the Wesen council involved?" Hank was trying to figure out if there was help available from that quarter. Thank God, one police detective believed in and fought these Wesen injustices, Juliette fumed.

"Officially, blood purity organizations are outlawed, but there are those on the council who still believe intermarriage is a sacrilege," Rosalee continued with a sigh.

"So if this is not your normal police investigation, how do we find them," Hank inquired.

"I don't know. They're all Wesen, that's all I know, so I'm not sure it's really your problem, Hank," Monroe countered.

"What if Nick was a Grimm again?" Juliette started, seriously hoping she wouldn't regret this decision. "You both need him, but if not for this, then for his own safety," she continued when they seemed hesitant, "We've already established he's risking his life carelessly by not knowing."

"It would certainly make me feel easier about him when we're on a case," Hank said firmly.

Juliette proposed, "I'd be willing to make this happen with your help, Rosalee, as well as help from Elizabeth." Then turning to Hank she said, "I'll need your help with Nick. Can you arrange for him to 'accidentally' meet Adalind?"

This was wrong and yet Juliette was beyond caring at this point. Her life had been so out of control since Adalind's romp with Nick. Juliette would get back what was hers even if she had to play dirty herself. Nick hadn't absolutely rejected the idea, after all, and she was doing this for his good as well as for Monroe and Rosalee's safety. All these thoughts crossed her mind as she viewed the face she hated the most in the world staring back at her in the makeup mirror of the car visor. On with the show, Juliette thought. She was to meet them at the bar they frequented after work. Hank would introduce Nick to Adalind mentioning they had met a couple of years ago when investigating a case of double homicide at her law firm. Juliette knew enough about Adalind as well as how to appeal to Nick that she hoped they would be close in no time. Her Nick would never have considered a one night stand, but this wasn't her Nick. Elizabeth did say Juliette could do this one more time without permanent damage if necessary. Not willing to risk it, she decided it would be tonight, as she walked up to the guys with a sexy smile when Hank turned to her drawing Nick's attention.
