Cross Roads Motel~Ethan's Room

Ethan and Madison were up, after their passionate love making. The architect decided to grabbed his phone, and he notice that he had two voicemails from Yuuki, so he listened to them.

Ethan, it's me, Yuuki. Listen, Blake is going to get every cop on your ass, and I want help, in order for you and me to find Shaun. I have brought someone who can help us. Remember Norman Jayden? He's here to help us, no matter what. Come to my house, if you can. I am willing to help, big bro.

Ethan, I'm getting worried about you and so as...Kanon, she really misses you too. I'm still willing to help and so as Norman. Please don't get arrested and avoid Blake.

Ethan ended his voicemail, until he felt Madison rubbing his shoulders. "Hey, what's the matter?"

"Remember, when the news talked about someone who was attack and a baby was found, not hurt?"

"Yeah, I remember, why?"

"Well, that house, happens to be my sister, Yuuki's." Ethan turned to face her. "I have to see her and she said that she's willing to help me."

Yuuki's House

6:06 am

Yuuki woke up in her own bed, after having a good night sleep, and also having someone who she loves, sleeping next to her. She remembered last night, of how Norman and her, love each other, shared their passionate lovemaking with each other, after sharing their feelings. Norman wasn't next to her, since the last memory she had, was sleeping next to him, in the living room, after sex.

Her night clothes were in the armchair, waiting to be on her naked body. When she shift to the right, she felt warmness and also someone's scent on that side of the bed. It was her lover, Norman's scent on the bedspread and pillow. She inhaled his scent from the pillow, he slept on, before standing up and put on her clothes from last night.

Norman walked in with Kanon, wide awake, babbling words, in his arms, wearing a cute animal towel, over her.

As he notice Yuuki, putting on her oversized sweater. He smiled at her naked back, as she turns around and notice him, which frighten her.

"Good morning." Yuuki greeted, before she calmed down, and finished dressing herself. Norman walked up to her, and places her a breathtaking kiss.

"Good morning, beautiful." Norman greeted her, before laying the baby, down on the bed and he walked out of the bedroom.

"What are doing up, this early?" Yuuki asked, until Kanon started getting her mother's attention, by calling out to her. The mother sat down, next to her, as the baby crawled in her arms.

Norman came back, with a mint green polka dotted, zip up sleep and play, that has the feet in them and a pink puppy, embroidered on the side.

"I wanted to check on Kanon, she had nightmare, when I heard her." Norman started putting on her outfit, as she was smiling at him. "So, I rock her to sleep, carried you, upstairs to your bedroom, and taken care of her, until you wake up." As soon as Norman zipped up her cute outfit, the baby clapped and smiled for him.

"Well, last night, was the best time that I ever had, Mr. Profiler." Yuuki said, seductively.

"It was best time that I ever had too, Miss Mars." He replied back, until he reaches out for her cheek, and lean in close for a kiss. Kanon was looking at them, as she tries to get their attention. They looked down at the baby, as she was whining for attention too, so they decided give her kiss as well.

Yuuki heard her and the baby's stomach growling, as Norman heard it too. "I'm hungry, I was wondering if you want to help me make pancakes, today?" Norman agreed, and so as Kanon. The baby and also love pancakes, as well.

They headed down to the kitchen and grabbed the necessary ingredients to make pancakes, from scratch. Norman decided to add blueberries into the batter, since Yuuki had a small package of them. Kanon was snacking on the blueberries, while drinking orange juice, that Norman put in front of her, so she won't complain, about her growling stomach. He also told Kanon to hold on to some of the ingredients, but it somehow turned messy, when she dropped some of the eggs, on the kitchen floor.

As Norman was stirring the batter, while pouring it into the hot frying pan, some of the batter landed on Yuuki's nose. "Hey, watch where you pour things!" Yuuki said, playfully.

He places the bowl, down, as he cupped her face, and licked the batter off her nose. "Mmm, blueberry and Yuuki flavor, my favorite." Norman complimented her.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting some of the batter off of you."

"By, licking me?"

"Isn't that more enjoyable, for both of us?" Norman asked, until they both heard the front door opening, by using Yuuki's house key. They both looked at the front door, as Norman pulled out his gun. Ethan walked in, with Madison, as Norman lowed his gun down. Yuuki ran straight for her brother.

"Ethan!" She hugged him, as he hugged back.

"Oh, Yuuki, I thought something happened to you and Kanon, so I decided to come over and you're willing to help me." Ethan said

"Yes, me and Norman." Yuuki turned her attention to the short haired girl, with a leather jacket on. "Hi, I'm Yuuki, Ethan's baby sister."

"My name is Madison Paige." She shaked her hand. "I found your brother, begging for help, so I help him."

"That's cool, and thank you." Yuuki complemented her.

Norman walked in the front foyer, holding baby Kanon, in his arms. He felt embarrassed, that he was wearing his white button up shirt, and black boxer briefs. He wanted to presentable for meeting her older brother, once more.

"Who are you and what are doing holding my niece?" Ethan asked, as he walked towards him, but Yuuki grabbed his wrist.

Yuuki walked to Norman's side. "This is Norman Jayden, from the FBI." She introduced him. "Remember the profiler, that talked to you, about Shaun's disappearance?"

"Yeah, I was there when your ex-wife was holding Kanon, while she was crying." Norman helped Ethan to remember.

"Oh, my apologies." He apologized. "I was wondering why you smell like expensive cologne, Yuuki, but are you two...together?"

Yuuki and Norman blushed, when they heard that. "Yeah, you can say that. Oh and by the way, you don't have to tell me that you two are a thing too, because of two reasons."

Yuuki walked up to them, and looked at Madison's neck. "One, I see a hickey on her neck," Madison touched her neck, as she looked at the mirror, that was hanging on the wall. Yuuki turned to Ethan, and sniff him. "And two, you smell, just like her."

Ethan and Madison were surprised, until the architect brother smelled something in the air, which made his mouth watered. "I smell pancakes." He completed ignore everyone and went into the kitchen.

"Are you hungry, too, Madison?" Yuuki asked. "We made enough for everyone."

"Yes, sure, I'm very starving." Madison said, with a smile.

"And I'll put some makeup on that later." Yuuki said, referring to her hickey.

Yuuki started serving the pancakes, with a smile,since she had finally had her brother back, he also bought himself, a friend, who understands him, and also Norman was there with her, as her lover. But time is still running out for Shaun, Yuuki hopes that it hasn't.

Norman and Madison had taken their first bite of Yuuki's blueberry pancakes. "Well, do you like it, Madison?" Ethan asked her, as she was enjoying her hotcake.

"This is delicious," Madison said. "Your sister must be the best cook in the family."

"Why, yes I am, Madison." Yuuki sat down, next to Norman. "I've been cooking all of my life, so I even tried to help him cook, sometimes, but he messes up."

"Well, I love you cooking," Norman taken another bite of the hotcake. "I also cook too, Yuuki."

Yuuki looked at him wide-eyed. "You can cook too!" She said surprised. "OK, now that's what I like in a man."

"Hey, me too." Madison said. "Ethan, trying to cook, sounds cool."

Everyone ate in silence, as Kanon was making cooing noises, as she at her small hotcake, with syrup. The baby's eyes were getting heavy, until she started calling. "Mama...Dada...Mama…" They looked up at her, until she fell asleep on her sticky plastic plate.

"Your daughter is really cute, Yuuki." Madison complemented with a smile. "She looks, just like you."

Yuuki stands up, as she lifted her out of the pink and white highchair. "I know, I always get that a lot. I'm glad that I'm a mother, to this special little girl." Kanon rested her head on her mother's shoulder, as she was taken to the living room, and let her lay down on the couch.

"Ethan, I understand that you have to find Shaun, but I need your help." Norman grabbed his plate, Ethan's, and Madison's, and dropped them in the sink. "I need you to tell me your side of the story and why were you in that apartment on Marble Street."

Yuuki walked back in, as she told them to walked into the living room, with them. When they walked in, Ethan and Madison noticed a blanket, covering the right side of the couch. She and Norman were hiding something on the couch.

Ethan decided to sit on the carpet floor, before, he taken Kanon, who was asleep on the couch, and places her in his arms. Yuuki walked into her office and brought back a manila folder, that contains confidential information about the Origami Killer and it's victims and her iPad, which she never used in a while. Norman pulled out ARI, to be in record mode, while interrogating Ethan and Madison.

"Yuuki, Norman, Madison...I have something to confess...I… I kidnapped my son."

All their faces turned pale, as they looked at him.

"Brother, that's not true." Yuuki comforted him.

"If you kidnapped him, them you know where he is?" Norman asked, until Yuuki hits his shoulder. It really hurted him, so he rubs it, to make the pain, go away.

"I don't...I don't know where he is." Ethan told him, as he run one of his fingers, through Kanon's dark brown growing hair. "But the only way, to find him...is to…"

"Is to what? Talk to me, Ethan. We're not going to report you to anyone, unless you tell us."

"My other self is telling me to go through these trials." Ethan murmured, as he pulled out a small white origami rat figure. He handed it to Yuuki, as she opened it.

The last letters. 691 Rainbow Lane. Brother or sister.

Yuuki looked at Ethan's tattered clothing, as he was looking down at the sleeping baby. He went through hell, trying to save his son. He was also in bandages, just like her with her bleeding wrist cuts.

"I believe that...I'm the Origami Killer, Yuuki." Ethan confessed. "First, I blackout, and then the murdering starts...I have a feeling, that it's me."

Yuuki wanted to know why her brother did it all, but she was her brother and she will back him up, for what he did to her, when she was in a mental hospital, while he taken care of Kanon, for her.

"Brother, if you know something about these trials, in the beginning, why you couldn't you come to me, the first thing, when you received them? We could have both done it together and I would have been there to help you." Yuuki asked, sitting down, in front of him.

"How was I supposed to tell you?" Ethan said. "You were at work at the time, and how was I supposed to tell you, when that cop at the desk, who gives you an attitude, doesn't care about my son, whose life is in danger and I had no other choice, but to figure this out on my own."

"Brother, I will still help you, no matter what, Blake or Grace says about us."

Ethan looked up. "Grace? What does Grace has to do with this?"

Well...she came to the police station, and claimed that you're the killer. I told my side of the story, but the asshole, take your ex-wife story."

Ethan sighed. "Grace owes you big time. I told her to apologize to you, but, ever since Kanon arrived, she changed."

"I know." Yuuki places a hand on his shoulder, as he started to cry. Madison wiped off some of Ethan's tears, before kissing his cheek.

"Thank you." He mummered to Madison.

"Ethan, I have a question for you…" Ethan looked at Norman. "If you are the killer, then where were you, yesterday around two fifty pm?"

"I...I was at the motel, so I can keep away from the police and reporters, but Madison beat me to it."

Yuuki looked at her. "You're a journalist?" She nodded.

"Then, you're not the killer." Norman stated. "The killer was here, when he attack her friend, Sara, stolen Yuuki's gun, from out of the safe, she keeps upstairs, and left, without harming Kanon."

"The Origami Killer was here at my sister's house?!" Ethan said, wide-eyed.

"Yeah, he was." Yuuki turned on her iPad, as she tapped on the video camera app, that Ryan install for her and the baby's security. He installed it with the alarm system, for the security. "Look at the video."

Yuuki showed a video of yesterday, when the Killer came to her house, attack Sara, and robbed the house.

The video started out, with, Sara, laying on the couch watching TV, until she looked at the door, and answers it. The Killer walks in, as Sara went into the living room, to grabbed the house phone, until the Killer attack her from behind. Sara fought back, as she defended herself, as she called for 911. The killer attack her, once more, and knocked her out by, slamming her into the wall. He picks up the phone and turns it off, before walking upstairs to the bedrooms.

"Does that look like you?" Yuuki asked.

Ethan shaked his no, "Ethan, that's prove that you're not the killer and you're not harming anyone, in your family." Madison told him.

"Yes, it appears that he was stalking her and your family, before he kidnapped, Shaun, and if for the Killer to know about, her and you, it has to be someone, from your pasts, which lead the killer to kidnapping Shaun, and robbing Yuuki's house."

It took Ethan, Norman, Madison, and Yuuki to think about it, before they provide with a answer.

"Her husband, Ryan Chiba." Madison answer the big question.

"Bingo!" Yuuki cheered.

"Correct, Madison." Norman replied.

"Yes, my dead brother in law." Ethan added.

"Ryan, your husband, maybe the killer, knows him and you, Yuuki." Norman stated.

"Wait! Hold up! How do you know about my deceased husband? I barely even know you." She asked Madison.

"I was there at his funeral. He was a good friend of mines, and he even told me about you and baby daughter...Caitlin?"

"Kanon. Her name is Kanon Maria Mars." Yuuki corrected and introduced her.

"What a beautiful name, for such a small girl."

"Yeah, I even gave her a middle name." Ethan said, as Madison was gazing at the baby's sleeping form, until Kanon started rubbing her eyes, to wake up, from her morning nap.

"Hi baby," Madison cooed. "You look like your mother, yes you are. Yes, you are."

Norman and Yuuki smiled at uncle and friend, bonding with the baby, as the profiler sat down on the floor with them, and wrapped his arm, around her waist.

"You must be a good uncle, Ethan." Madison asked.

"Yeah, she is going to be spoiled, just like her mother and my son." Ethan said, cradling her, until she fell into his lap, and wanted to be in Madison's arms. "I think she wants you." The architect gave the baby to Madison, as she crawled out of her uncle's arms, into his girlfriend's lap.

"Ah Da!" Kanon said, until she grabbed Madison's nose, it looked big to her.

"Kanon Maria, stop." Yuuki told her. Madison was smiling at the baby, as she was giggling at her.

"Yuuki, she's alright." Madison said, with a funny sounding voice, as Kanon was grabbing her nose. "Me and her are just having fun."

Upstairs in Yuuki's bedroom, on her nightstand, where lies, Yuuki's iPhone on the charger, as it rings on vibrate. It was flashing the caller ID, at the top of the screen.

Carter Blake

Uh oh! Looks like Yuuki didn't have her phone, so that means Blake will be pissed off, if she didn't answer that phone. In the next chapter it will be a mixture of the chapter Solving The Puzzle and The Rat. And also more about Yuuki's past and why Blake is so interested in her is going to be revealed in the next chapter!
