Ben and Cal rushed to the F.B.I. car waiting for them. Once they got in, Cal immediately asked, "What happened at Gillian's apartment?"

Ben looked at Cal and said, "Her apartment was broken into. Apparently, when Gillian got home, she was very frightened. The agents, who were following her, called me right away. Gillian is safe. No one hurt her."

Cal let go of the breath he was holding. "Why weren't agents there to begin with?"

Ben looked out of the window. They were getting close to her apartment. "The agents are tailing her. They were never meant to watch her house." They pulled up to the complex and rushed out of the S.U.V..

Gillian was in a squad car with her head in her hands. An agent was talking to her when the men ran up. She lifted her head and rushed to Cal. He hugged her as she cried on his shirt. "I really wasn't expecting that to happen." She lifted her head from Cal's shirt. "I walked up and saw that my front door was open. I peeked inside and saw that everything was a mess. I ran down to the street and called you. But I forgot to charge my stupid cell phone and I lost battery power. Then these men," she pointed to the two men a couple feet away, "came up to me and showed me their badges. I guess they had already called you, Ben." He nodded. "If I would have known there was a F.B.I. tail on me, then I wouldn't have called Cal so frantically." She looked at Cal and whispered, "I am so sorry for scaring you like that."

Cal grabbed both of her shoulders and said, "Please don't apologize. Don't forget, I am here for you. In fact, I am glad you called me." He smiled at her and hugged her once again.

Some agents came up to Ben and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and turned back to Gillian. "Okay, Gillian, they want you to go through your house to see if they took anything. If you want, you can stay at a safe house tonight."

She turned to Cal and softly asked, "Would you mind if I stayed with you? I won't be too much of a hassle."

Cal looked at her like she was crazy. "Of course you can stay at my house! Bloody hell, woman, you are no inconvenience to me. I want you to stay at my house. That was my original plan at the beginning, remember?"

Gillian stepped back and put her hand on his shoulder. "Okay, okay, I thought I should just ask. Man, don't bite my head off!" She looked at her broken-in house and asked, "Can you come with me? I kind of don't want to go in by myself."

Cal wordlessly took her hand and walked with her inside the apartment. Everything was either; ransacked, flipped over or torn. She went up to her album collection and ran her finger along it. "Well at least they spared my awesome album collection. Too bad I can't say that about my photo albums. It took me years to complete them." She took a deep breath and shook her head. She walked over to the dining room table. She looked all around it. "I can't find my prescription papers. I was going to go fill them today. I left them on the table so that I wouldn't forget. Damn it!" She slid her fingers threw her hair in frustration.

Ben patted her shoulder. "We can get you new prescription papers. Let's see what else they took." They moved along through the whole house. Gillian listed off things she knew to be missing. They had taken a picture of her and her brother, a bottle of her best scotch (Cal said, "That's a crime itself. In some countries, that would warrant a killing squad!"), her hairbrush, her grandmother's pearl necklace and her engagement ring from Alec.

Gillian looked down. Cal came up and drew her into a hug. "Why don't you pack something? I will be waiting right over here." She nodded and got a suitcase from her closet. She went over to her dresser and pulled out a drawer. She gasped and picked up a little jewelry box. Cal came over and looked down in surprise. He was a little shaky when he asked, "Where did you get that?"

She whispered, "In my drawer." Gillian shook her shoulders and opened it. It was the letter "G" on a necklace. It was platinum and it had diamonds in the letter. She threw it on the ground and said, "That is very creepy. I never want to touch it again." She looked at Cal, who looked like he just got slapped. "What's wrong, Cal? You look like you have seen a ghost."

He picked up the box and whispered, "I think the necklace looks beautiful. Never say never, Luv." She looked confused and went through the rest of her drawer frantically. Cal looked up and asked, "Are you missing something else?"

Gillian took a deep breath and said, "Just a picture, but it doesn't matter. It was of no importance." She was lying but she went on to get out some items and threw it into her suitcase. She went through the rest of her closet and got some clothes. Making sure she had all the right toiletries, she turned to Cal and simply said, "Ready."

As they were walking out, Cal reluctantly gave Ben the jewelry box and explained how they found it. As they were talking, something caught her eye on the sofa. She walked over there and picked it up. It was a note on golden paper. She sat down in shock after reading it. Ben and Cal came up behind her. She wordlessly gave them the note. It read:

"Dear Gillian,

You will die.

There is nothing your boyfriend can do now,

unless he wants us to take his daughter.

Remember from our last letter, we are always watching.

Sincerely,

To London, with Love."

Cal immediately got out his cell phone and called Emily. She picked up. Cal sighed and said, "Emily, where are you at? Okay, just stay there. I will pick you up soon, okay? Don't worry, I will explain later. I love you, bye." Cal put a hand over his eyes and let out a sigh.

Gillian looked at Ben and said, "I think I will stay at the safe house tonight."

Cal looked up in rage, "Like hell you are. You are coming with me and that is final. I will not lose you again to these bloody psychopaths. I won't stand for it. Now get your suitcase, we will have to pick up Emily."

Gillian stood still. "You can't boss me around like this, Cal. It is not your life they want, it is mine. They just made it clear that they do not want me with you and I am not going to chance Emily's life because you feel like you are losing control. I will be going to the safe house." She got up and walked to Ben. "I am ready."

Cal was seething. He softly grabbed her arm and turned her around. "I will not sleep not knowing what is going on with you." He unmasked his face and whispered, "I'm scared, alright. I want to make sure that you are safe. The F.B.I. will be there to protect us. I don't want to lose you." He pleaded his case and stood there waiting for her answer.

She sighed and said, "Okay, Cal, I will go with you. However, if there is a hint that they may hurt Emily, I am out of there. Do you understand?" Cal nodded and masked his face again. "Good, now let's go pick up Emily. Once we are settled you can tell me about this other letter that you forget to mention to me."

Cal cowered from Gillian's stern look. "Okay, okay, we will talk about it. Let's go, bye Ben."

Ben just shook his head and looked at Gillian with concern. She walked up to him and said, "You are in trouble too." She smiled at him and kissed his cheek and sweetly said, "Goodbye, see you tomorrow. Thank you for everything."

Cal looked at her as they were walking to her car and asked, "Why does he get a kiss on the cheek? He didn't tell you about the F.B.I. tail." His snarky remark got him a slap to the back of the head. Cal gingerly rubbed his head. "Ow, that hurt."

Gillian rolled her eyes and said, "You deserved it. I can kiss anyone I want." She climbed into her car and started it. Cal got in on the passenger side. She put it into first gear and said, "Plus, why do you care? You get kissed all the time by other women." She drove away.
