Second chapter. I was typing the Kate section and inspiration suddenly hit. So I added a scene before. I hope you like the direction I took it. I want to show that people you think are bad guys may surprise you. As always please comment good or bad.

The disclaimer is on the front page .


Fowlers pov

Where is he? Waiting has never been one of my strong suits. I had all but decided to just leave the music box on the ground when I heard a cell phoned ringing. Under the nearest car a disposable was taped underneath.

"Boss, I got the music box where are you?" I asked

"I regret to inform you that I will not be able to make our meeting. However I have some associates that should be arriving momentarily. They will take care of you" he said calmly

Just as the words left his mouth I saw two men come around the corner of the parking garage that had been chosen for the drop. One of them looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't place it due to the fact that his face was obscured by shadows. I held out my hand that was holding the music box

As they took it and examined it for authenticity I said "Ok its done Now what about our deal?"

"About that, I'm afraid I am going to have to change the plan on you. I have placed an explosive on the plane that your daughter and her beloved are getting on?"

I went off. "You what? Liston you basterd you told me if I got the music box you would leave them alone. She doesn't even know who I am and she hates me now because of what you made me do. Take care of Burke and Caffrey if you want but stay away from her"

I stopped as a bullet entered my chest. As I fell I looked into the eyes of the man who had shot me. With a gasp I recognized him. I couldn't believe I hadn't recognized him sooner. It's not everyday you look into the eyes of the man who killed your wife.

They left me for dead and ran with the music box.

It is ridiculous to shoot a Fed in New York, and not check to see if they are warring a bullet proof vest. I sat up and immediately pulled out my cell phone.


Kate's pov

I arrived at the hanger with 30 minutes to spare because of my haste. The attendant showed me two my seat and I sat in a window seat so I could see Neal as he arrived.

Each second seemed like a minute and each minute seamed like an hour.

As I saw him run towards me I stood at the door. I waved at him and smiled to myself.

We were so close to getting every thing we had ever wanted.

I went to my seat and sat still staring at him. As I was staring I saw peter run up behind him and catch his attention.

What could they possibly be talking about? As I was watching the scene unfold the phone in my pocket started buzzing again. I had forgotten that I still had it on me.

"What's going on? Why isn't Neal getting on the plane?" I demanded.

"Is Burke's there?" he asked agitated.

"Yes, what's happening" I repeated.

"Listen, you need to get out of there right now"

"Not until I find out what in the world is going on"

"JUST GET OUT NOW" I had never heard him talk like that even when he was threatening me. There was something in his voice I had never herd before

For some reason I listened. I was more than 15 feet away when everything went black.

The first thing that I was aware of was screaming. Neal's screams were ripping through my entire being.

All I wanted was to go to him but that's when I became aware of the pain.

I struggled to my feet in time to hear peter shout "NEAL SHES GONE." Neal burst into tears and allowed himself to be lead away before I could so much as muster a breath. I struggled towards them but I was to tired and the darkness overtook me


Hope you like it . I will get the next chapter up asap.

ps. I know they went and visited kates dad's grave. This will be explaned latter on.
