Sarah walked in the cafe and immediately spotted Shaw. He was sitting in the corner table, right beside the EXIT door. He immediately looked up and spotted Sarah. Instead of freaking out like she expected, he smiled at her.

"Excuse me, miss? What can I get foh you?" The Chinese server asked her with a smile.

"I'll have coffee, please." Sarah gave her a smile.

"Cehtainly." With that, the server walked away to get her coffee. She walked towards Shaw and sat in the seat across him.

"Sure, Sarah. You can sit with me. Why don't we chat and catch up?" Shaw told her sarcastically.

"Cut the crap, Shaw." She told him in a neutral tone.

Shaw looked at her at whispered heatedly. "You cut the crap, Sarah! I know why you're here. Go on, kill me. I dare you." He gave her a smug grin.

"Don't be stupid, Shaw. I'm not going to kill you. That's not my style." The knife she was currently palming under the table was relaxing her from doing what he wanted.

"Then why are you here?" Shaw asked, confused.

"I'm here to warn you. I'm going to make sure that you feel the pain I felt when I lost everyone that day." Sarah sat back and received the coffee that was being handed to her. She turned to the server and bowed her head slightly, "Thank you." The server returned the gesture and left the two of them alone, again.

She watched in interest as Shaw sat stiffly. She knew what was running through his mind right now.

Eve. Carl.

Sarah just sat and waited for the inevitable blow up. She held her gun in preparation. She was caught of guard when she heard him laugh.

"Oh Sarah." Shaw laughed maniacally and appeared to be losing his breath. "Do you really think that I'll fall for a plan as stupid as this?"

"What the hell does that mean? That son of a..." Casey's voice crackled through her earpiece.

Sarah sat stoically, staring at him. "Confused, Sarah? Let me clear it out for you."

"Now." Shaw said out loud.

~0~0~

Casey looked through the binoculars and whispered into his communication unit. "Listen, Walker. Just relax, I got your back." He turned it off and cursed. "Shit. Daniels, what does he mean?"

He turned around to face Nico only to receive a direct punch to his face. Casey staggered, stood up and poised to attack. "What the hell are you doing, Daniels?"

"What's right, Colonel." Nico raised his gun and shot Casey in the leg. Casey crumbled to the ground and tried to stop the bleeding his leg. "You're going to pay for this, Daniels."

Nico hit Casey's head with the butt of his gun that rendered the latter unconscious. "I would expect as much, Casey. I would expect as much."

He took out his Ring phone and dialed. "It's done."

~0~0~

"I would expect as much, Casey. I would expect as much." Sarah heard Nico's voice over Casey's earpiece.

She quickly took the gun from her waistband and pointed it at Shaw, point blank. "Don't move."

"Casey! Casey! What the hell is going on?" She screamed into her ear urgently while keeping her eyes at Shaw who was now drinking his coffee.

She stood up and looked at Shaw. "Get up, now! You're coming with me." Shaw sidled from his seat and now stood facing her.

"I don't think so, Sarah." He quickly swatted the gun away and punched her in the midriff, knowing of her injury. Sarah doubled over in pain and couldn't stop him as he pulled a tranquilizer gun and shot her twice.

"While I would to end everything here and now, you're not what I came for. Night Night, Sarah." Shaw said with a grin.

Sarah was kneeling on the floor, clutching her midriff as she looked up at him with pure hate and spat out. "Go to hell, Shaw."

She stayed conscious just enough to hear his reply. "I live there."

Police Officer Jill Roberts looked curiously at the blonde woman she tied to a chair who remained unconscious.

Why was she tranqued? She asked herself. Just who is this woman?

Sensing that the blonde wasn't going to be awake anytime soon, she walked out of the room and proceeded to her office. She plopped down with a sigh when someone knocked on her door.

"Ma'am, Detective Bartowski just arrived. Do you wish to see him now?" A man in his early 20's asked from his position in the door.

I can never catch a break, She thought to herself. "Send him in." She straightened in her seat and fixed her scattered paperwork.

"Hey Jill!" Chuck greeted her cheerily.

"Ugh, Chuck. Why are you so chippy? I have a very painful hangover and we brought a blondie in." Jill told him despairingly.

Chuck sat down in the chair and smiled teasingly. "Oooh, kinky. I take it that Bryce approves?"

"Shut up, Chuck." She stood up and walked out of her office. She looked forlornly at her sofa chair and glared at him. "I just sat down. God, you have the worst timing!"

Chuck held his hands up in surrender. "Geez, woman. Temper the hormones." He followed her towards the interrogation room. "So, what's her story?"

"My people got a 911 from a Chinese café downtown. The caller was screaming: Woman collapsed. She shot. She has gun. Please help." It so happened that we were the nearest officers to the location so we rushed there and found her lying on the floor, tranqued and holding a gun.

Jill opened the door to the adjoining room that had a two-way mirror. "She's on the other room. No one knows who she is and the servers said that today was the first time they saw her so she's considered hostile." She stood to his right with arms crossed in front of her. "How do you wish to proceed?"

Chuck stared at the woman sitting beyond the two-way mirror. He hadn't thought that he would see her again. "Sarah Walker. Her name is Sarah Walker."

I love Chinese people. They have a delightful accent and they created xiumais.

Thanks to BDaddyDL for his advice on how to write some characters.

I told you, Nico is not Chuck.
