From the sounds of laughter and cheers escaping through the door, it was obvious Brady's Pub was far from empty; in spite of the neon closed sign blinking in the window. Inside the pub, all the Brady's still residing in Salem had gathered. The night following Kim's arrival, Shawn and Caroline had hastily organized a family reunion to welcome Kim home.

Sitting around the large table in the middle of the room were Kim's older brother Roman, then her younger sister Kayla. Besides Kayla was her husband Steve, himself recently returned from a long, unplanned absence. Next to Steve was Hope holding baby Ciara, then Bo, Kim, Marlena and John Black whom Kim still thought of as a brother, too. At the head of the table sat Shawn and Caroline, both visibly moved by this family gathering. The rest of the tables in the pub were occupied by all the Brady grandchildren and their spouses.

"Ahem, can I have everyone's attention," Roman said, raising a glass. "My father has suddenly lost his gift for gab, and has asked me to make a toast." Everyone laughed because Shawn was known never to be at a loss for words.

"First we want to welcome my dear sister home and toast her success. Kim, your talents are boundless!" Everyone tapped their glasses together and looked towards Kim who shyly looked down, never being one comfortable with attention. "Pop wants everyone to know," Roman continued, "how much pleasure it gives him and Ma to finally have all their children together again so let's toast the united Brady's."

Cheers roared throughout the pub as everyone toasted each other. Kim got up from her place and started roaming the room, reacquainting herself with nieces and nephews she realized she hardly knew. Bo came up behind her and said in a low whisper, "Sis, can I talk to you for a minute, privately."

"Sure, what's up?" she asked as they moved to the other side of the pub, away from the crowd.

"Yesterday, at the airport, did you see anything unusual or suspicious?"

Kim looked at him quizzically and shrugged. "No, not that I can remember. Why?"

"There's a possible situation developing here. And I'm concerned someone may have arrived in Salem the same time you did. So if you remember seeing anything out-of-the-ordinary, anyone who looked suspicious, be sure to let me know. Okay?"

"Yes sir," Kim saluted playfully, just like Bo remembered she used to do with a certain ISA agent. For a moment, Bo thought of telling her that Shane was coming to Salem but decided against it. From what Hope had shared with him about her conversation with Kim, Bo decided it was best to keep Shane's visit a secret, at least for now. He would see him tomorrow at the station and maybe he could find out from Shane what was going on between him and his sister.

Kim slept in the next morning. The last couple of days had been busy and she definitely could use the extra hours of sleep. Soon she'd be leaving on a book tour and from past experience, she knew those schedules were always grueling.

Suddenly Kim remembered seeing something unusual at the airport. A woman pushing an empty baby carriage had circled the terminal several times. When Kim had bumped into her at the taxi stand, she had seemed extremely nervous. It might be nothing but Kim decided she should share it with Bo. She threw back the covers. A visit to the Salem P.D. was in order.

The squad room was a whirlwind of activity but the corner office belonging to Captain Bo Brady was unusually quiet. The door was shut and the blinds drawn. Inside the office, a reunion was taking place.

"It's good to see you Gove'ner." Bo used the old familiar nickname he gave to Shane Donovan so many years ago.

"Look at you. The impulsive, unpredictable Bo Brady a captain in the police department!" Shane shook his head incredulously.

"Hey, I'm still impulsive and unpredictable," Bo said defensively, and then continued, "John should be here soon and then we can start."

Shane started milling about the room and had his back to Bo when Bo decided to take a chance and said, "Kim's in Salem. I thought you should know."

Shane slowly turned around and asked pensively, "Does she know I'm here?"

"No, but I think she should."

Shane turned and walked to the window shaking his head over and over again. "I'm not sure that's a good idea."

At the same time, just outside the office door, John Black was gathering some files and preparing to go into Bo's office when Kim came rushing in.

"John, is Bo still here?" She asked trying to catch her breath. "I remembered something that might be important."

"Sure Kim. I'm just about to meet with him. Come on in," he said as he opened the office door.

Kim hurried into the office and then stopped suddenly, feeling her breath leave her body. There standing in front of her was Shane Donovan.
