Hi everyone, thanks for all the amazing reviews, please keep them coming, hope you like this one too xx
Chapter 4
April studied Tali and Livie curiously as they studied each other and her just as curiously, Libby had taken an almost instant liking to Livie's older stepsister Alexis and was showing her eagerly around their area of the Jeffersonion, their parents were still talking.
She looked at Livie who leaned back in her chair "so Tali" she said "what's it like at NCIS" Tali looked up, she was the youngest of the three of them, but she seemed just as haunted by her past as they had, she smiled "amazing" she said "it is the only life I have ever known but I don't want another life, the team is my family" Livie smiled "same with my mom's team" she said "and with mine" April chimed in, the three of them grinned at each other "so you two met last night" Tali asked, they nodded "we were at a dinner, with our parents" April said, Livie nodded, then she glanced at April before looking back at Tali "why does your father call you ninja" she asked curiously, Tali laughed "long story" she said "the short version is because in a way I am a ninja, I can fight, like properly ninja fight"
April and Livie both blinked at her "um wow where did you learn to do that" Livie asked curiously, Tali smiled "that is in the long story" she said "Israel with Mossad" April raised her eyebrows in shock "um what is Mossad" Livie asked "Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations" Tali explained "but I call it Assassin headquarters " April cocked her head to one side "you don't sound very fond of it" Tali snorted "understatement" she said looking down "they took me and forcefully trained me, you have no idea how painful it was"
April and Livie both glanced at each other and looked down at each other's scars "um we might actually" April said gently, Tali looked up at them confused, slowly Livie twisted allowing her burns on her neck to come into view and April twisted lifting up the back of her shirt so that the scars on her back could come into view, Tali stared before she twisted showing them the marks on her back and then she lowered her shirt so that they could see the two bullet wound marks "you were shot twice" Livie exclaimed "not at the same time" Tali said "I was shot once when I was 12 in a shootout that turned into open fire, the second was when I was forced to be Mossad and I was being held hostage by a terrorist, and to stop him from shooting people I um kinda turned the gun on myself and shot myself so that the bullet passed through me and into him" both the other two girls stared at her "ok the ninja nickname suits you" April said and Tali smiled weakly.
The three of them shared the stories of their horrors opening up to each other like they had never opened up to anyone else about their traumas, April and Livie were shocked by Tali, she was the youngest, yet she had seen so much more than even they had, faced so much more danger, yet somehow she was so calm, she told them that if she got mad she lost control so she had to find safe ways to let her anger out, they ended up opened up to each other about many things, Tali told them about her baby brother Aiden who was with their scientist Abby at the moment whilst her parents were here and life with her family and even showed them a few self-defence moves, Livie told them about life in New York and her mom's team and living with Rick Castle, and April told them about her life at the Jeffersonion and learning about anthropology from her mother and her little sister Libby.
All three of them were surprised when their parents came in and told them that it was late and time to go home, they hadn't noticed the time slipping by "don't worry" Tony said "we will all be back tomorrow so you can continue your girly talk then" "what's happening to AJ tomorrow" Tali asked, "they said we could send him to the Jeffersonion day-care for a bit" Ziva said with a smile "cool" Tali said and they all leapt up, Booth reappeared with a giggling Libby under his arm "April help" the four year old said giggling "daddy got me" "oh dear" April said with a grin "here I come Libs" she ran towards her father grabbing her baby sister and spinning her around making her giggle louder.
They all left the Jeffersonion and Livie and her family caught a taxi back whilst the rest of them headed off to their cars. All the way back Livie was silent "you ok honey" Kate asked gently, Livie looked at her "I know you don't believe in coincidence but you have to admit that this is one hell of a coincidence" Kate looked at her daughter, she was right, three teams, 3 writers, three daughters, three kidnappings, 3 strong girls, they had never crossed paths but it was amazing that they had not, their lives were so similar, hurt and broken, but managing to stay together, part of her still worried that maybe it wasn't a coincidence.
She looked at her daughter "yeah" she said though "hell of a coincidence" Livie smiled at her weakly before returning to looking out the window, Kate copied her gazing out the window as DC flashed by, she hoped though that this did remain as one hell of a coincidence.
XOXOXO
Kate heard a screaming cry of terror that instantly had her leaping out of bed, she grabbed a robe and two keys and exited the room before Rick had even registered she was up, she dashed across the room and slotted the key into the and hurried into their daughter's room.
Livie was sitting up in her bed shivering and sobbing quietly but she was pressed against Alexis' chest and her older sister was holding her tightly soothing her gently whispering words of comfort as she stroked her hair gently, she gave Kate a weak smile as she entered which Kate returned as she sat down on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Livie's back, Livie looked at them both with a smile "I was kind of expecting them" she mumbled "but it didn't make it any easier" Kate rubbed her shoulder gently "you'll be ok honey" she said softly, she nodded and lowered her head, Kate looked at her "do you want me to stay" she asked, Livie looked up at her thinking, then she shook her head gently "thanks but I'll be fine" she said softly "I mean this is the first one I have had in a long time, I think I can manage"
Kate smiled at her and pulled her into a hug "if you are sure" she said "you know where I am if you change your mind" Livie nodded hugging her back before she curled up under the covers, Alexis smiled at her sister then she said softly "scoot over Livs" and she slipped into the bed next to her sister, Kate smiled at them both before giving them each a kiss and leaving the room shutting the door quietly behind her and she slipped across the hall into her room, Rick was lying awake waiting "she ok" he mumbled, she nodded as she slipped into the bed next to him "yeah" she said and gave him a small smile "she is with Alexis" that made him smile and he tugged her into his arms and they slowly drifted off to sleep again.
XOXOXO
When Tony woke up he found that the bed next to him was vacant, he swung himself out of bed and out into the living room where Ziva was sitting on the sofa, she was smiling at the 11 month old baby boy sitting on her knee grinning up at her, she smiled as she saw her husband "hey" he said moving over to give her a kiss "where's ninja" he asked "out running with Brodie" she said referring to their daughter's dog, he nodded "hey little man" he said reaching over to lift up his son "how's it going hey, you ready to go play somewhere new today, and no doubt drive the carers up the wall" Aiden giggled and kicked his legs happily, grinning Tony set him down on the floor with his toys before sitting next to Ziva "so" he said "what do you think about this case" she shrugged "I do not know what to think, I am trying to ignore the fact that it brought three teams together all with teenage daughters, all who have been kidnapped, it is bizarre don't you think" he nodded "I feel the same".
They looked up as they heard a key being inserted into the lock and Tali came in with Brodie the Australian Shepard on his leash, the dog was breathing heavily tongue out his sides heaving, Tali unclipped his lead and he ran straight into the kitchen to have a long drink from his bowl before he ran out to the living room and sniffed AJ who giggled and grabbed at him before plonking himself down onto the rug, allowing the baby to climb all over him.
"good run" Tony asked Tali, she nodded "Brodie decided to chase squirrels" "who won" Tony asked "oh the squirrels every time" Tali said with a grin "Brodie got very frustrated when they climbed the trees, it was like they were teasing him" Tony chuckled, "you ready to go back to the Jeffersonion today" he asked, she nodded "April and Livie are nice" she said "and in a way it is nice to meet people who understand and know what I have been through" Ziva smiled at her daughter who grinned back "well I had better go shower" she said "cus we need to go soon" Tony looked at his watch "um yeah" he said leaping to his feet and heading back towards the bedroom, Ziva smiled as she too stood and looked at AJ "daddy not very prepared" she asked, he giggled "I know" she said bending down to lift him up "come on mini man let's get you some breakfast"
When Tali came out towelling her hair, Ziva was just finishing feeding AJ who had food all round his mouth and kept blowing raspberries, Tali laughed as she reached into the cupboard for a bowl "oh AJ you are such a boy" she told her brother, who beamed at his big sister happily "do you mean he is messy and greedy" Ziva asked "yep" Tali said reaching for the cereal "hey us boys aren't all that bad are we" Tony complained as he came out dressed for work, both his girls looked at him and he sighed "don't answer that" he said, Tali grinned at her mom who smiled back at her as she carried AJ off to get cleaned up and dressed, ready for a day at the Jeffersonion day care centre.
XOXOXO
Booth awoke when he felt the bed shake and there was a loud giggling from above him, he groaned and opened his eyes to find Libby crouched on top of him giggling "mommy said to wake you up" she said "cus she wants to get to work soon so she can look at bones" he rolled his eyes, Libby, like April wasn't fazed by what Brennan did for a living, in fact she had shown some interest in it but as she was only four they didn't let her near any bodies, though she loved to proudly name all the bones in her body "ok baby girl I'm up" he muttered "no you're not" she said, he groaned again and then sat up pulling her into his arms and tickling her stomach making her squeal with laughter and wriggle "daddy" she giggled "stop daddy stop" smiling he released her and stood up, he stretched and headed over to the wardrobe to pull on some clothes.
When he came down, Brennan was sitting at the kitchen table looking at the case files, April was curled up on the sofa with her laptop and Libby was happily watching cartoons "morning" he greeted and all three of them greeted him back, he got himself some breakfast and then sat down next to Brennan peering over her shoulder at the files "I hate contract killer cases" he said "you can't find a connection to use to track them down" Brennan looked at him "maybe it is good that we have the other teams" she said "extra man power and extra brains" "plus the live victim" Booth said pulling the folder labelled Katherine Castle towards him, he flipped it open and looked at the details, he sighed, she hadn't had an easy life by the looks of it:
She had become pregnant with her daughter Livie at aged 18, her father was not mentioned, her mother had helped her raise her baby until she had been brutally murdered when Kate was 19, the killer was never caught, she had joined the police force a few years after, she raised her daughter as a single mom whilst working her way through the ranks of NYPD until she became the youngest female to ever be promoted to Detective, it said she was an extraordinary detective, she was dedicated and hardworking, empathising with the victim's family due to what had happened to her own mother.
He studied the picture of her and her new family – she had married her writer tag along after he had shadowed her for 3 years, after her daughter had been abducted and he had been there for her comforting, they hadn't been married for very long when she had been shot at the funeral right in front of her daughter. He looked up at his own daughters curled on the sofa, he hated the idea of a child having to watch their mother dying on the ground, it must have been so painful for Livie and after everything she had already been through.
"Shall we go" he asked closing the file and they all nodded and leapt up fetching their bags and he carefully shepherded Bones and their two daughters out of the house and into the car.
XOXOXO
When Kate and her family arrived they found the Jeffersonion team already there along with Agent Gibbs who was on the phone, the rest of his team hadn't arrived yet, Livie and April wondered off chatting, whilst Libby ran to say hi to Alexis and the two of them disappeared off to talk and play too, Kate wondered into Angela's office where the young artist greeted her warmly "so apart from the guy being murdered what do you think of DC" she asked, Kate smiled "nice, I think Livie likes it" Angela smiled at her, then her smile widened "oh my gosh he's so cute" she gushed, Kate turned around to see the DiNozzo's coming in and in Ziva's arms there was a tiny baby boy who couldn't be older than a year, Ziva spotted them and made her way over smiling, instantly Angela moved over "aw is this your son" she asked, with a smile Ziva nodded and transferred her baby to Angela who began to coo over him making him smile which instantly increased Angela's cooing "yes his name is Aiden, but we call him AJ" she said with a smile, Angela offered Kate the baby and with a smile she reached out to take him, she looked into his eyes, the same soft brown as his mother's "hello AJ" she said gently bouncing him on her hip.
"aw Kate looking good" she scowled at Rick as he came in grinning at the sight of her and the baby "don't get any ideas" she said raising her eyebrows at him, he pouted before wiggling his fingers at AJ who waved his arms around in the air excitedly, Kate smiled, he was pretty cute. "Shall I show you where the day care is" Angela asked "I like to take Libby down there" Ziva nodded gratefully and Kate handed her back her son and Angela fetched Libby and they exited the lab, Tali followed obviously wanting to see where her baby brother was going. Kate felt Rick wrap his arms around her "you are telling me" he said softly "that you don't want another adorable baby", she smiled and leaned against him "maybe" she said "but why don't we talk about this later rather than in the middle of a murder investigation" she felt him chuckle "because I think I am more likely to get you to say yes when there is a little baby around and you are having cuddles with him" Tony burst out laughing as she elbowed him "oh I like your thinking writer boy" Rick pouted "is that everyone's nickname for me" he asked making then both laugh again.
XOXOXO
Booth wondered along the top platform thinking about the case, Tony and Gibbs were getting information from their forensic scientist and Medical Examiner about the dead Marine and they were waiting for Angela and Ziva to get back from dropping the kids off at day-care so they could begin.
That was when he spotted Livie sitting on the floor dangling her legs over the balcony's edge swinging them, she was resting her chin on her hands which were resting on the bottom bar of the railing, she was looking at the platform where April was with Brennan wearing her lab coat helping her mom set out the bones of the other victims.
"hey" he said "you ok" she looked up at him and then shrugged "I'm ok, you" she said, "yeah not bad" he said, he studied her "can I join you" he asked, she shrugged again and he joined her sitting swinging his legs, he followed her gaze now to her mom who was standing in front of a white board writing up some information on all of the cases "does your mom always work like that" he asked, she nodded "it is very effective" she said "helps her look at all the information, so she remains focused" he noted that she didn't sound to happy, he looked from her to her mom, "what's wrong kiddo" he asked, at first she didn't answer then she let out a sigh and looked at him "Rick told me that when I was taken and nearly killed, my mom fell apart, he said he had never seen her so upset, she was near inconsolable and she drove herself nearly into the ground looking for me"
She looked back at her mom who now sat looking at her white board "I thought I knew how she felt but it turned out I didn't, then my mom got shot" she paused and took a shaky breath "god then I knew, it felt like I was getting ripped open, before I was taken my mom was all I had, she meant everything to me and then suddenly she was dying on the floor in my arms, god it hurt so bad, I was terrified, terrified that I would lose her, and whilst I was waiting in the hospital, waiting for any news all I could think about was what would I do if mom died, and I just wanted revenge, I knew that if she died, I would hunt for revenge even if it killed me" she looked at him
"my mom was the same when her mom died" she said softly "she felt the same as me, I know it, anger and revenge drives her, she became obsessed with her mom's case, it got real bad at one point, she spent all her time trying to solve it, eventually she realised how obsessed she was because I came in to her room and tried to get her to take me out, I was five and bored, I wanted to go play in the park, she had been up all night so she was tired and stressed, she didn't mean to but she snapped at me" she paused again looking at her mom "we both froze, I was hurt and confused because she never snapped at me, and she was shocked and horrified that she had done so, she just looked down at the case, realised what she was doing and shut the folder shoving it into her drawer, she came over and picked me up and hugged me so tight whispering to me that she was so so sorry and that she would never do it again, she just kept whispering to me how sorry she was and that she loved me so much and would never leave me ever, she promised me it would always be the two of us always and forever"
She paused again and looked at him "she didn't fall in so deep again, there was occasional times but I helped her pull out before she got in too deep, but some cases especially when the case gets personal she will begin to become obsessed, and this one is personal"
Booth realised what she was talking about "you're scared your mom will get in too deep with this case" he said, she nodded "when she was telling Rick that she wanted to be a part of this case she said that it could have been me or Lexie, she wanted to stop him before it was either me or Lexie, I am scared that her determination to protect me is going to either drive her into the ground or she is going to get hurt again, I mean she was shot the first time because she got too close to the answer to her mom's murder, so they, whoever they are, hired someone to take her out, this guy is a contract killer, he could try again himself, or he might just realise that she was one of his targets and try to finish her off properly this time"
Booth reached out and gently took her hand "hey" he said gently "don't worry Livie, we won't let anything happen to your mom ok, we won't let her get in too deep and you can warn us about it ok if she does, no one is going to get hurt in this case, I mean come on we have three amazing teams coming together to catch this guy, we are going to get him, I promise" he looked at her seriously, and she smiled "thanks Booth" she said softly, he grinned at her "no worries" he looked over "ah Ziva and Angela are back, shall we" Livie nodded and followed him down the stairs to the main area where they met up with everyone, April came down shrugging out of her lab coat greeting both Livie and Tali cheerfully, they followed their parents into Angela's office where another version of Kate's whiteboard had been set up on Angela's computer with all the information, Booth saw Livie shudder at the sight of her mom up there with all the other victims, he saw that Kate herself looked a bit uncertain so he had everyone hurry through that without missing any details, Angela searched through all of their data looking for any connection but didn't find one, but they hadn't been expecting one.
So they turned to the bodies, Kate had given them her incident report from the hospital and McGee had driven over to get the NCIS report from their examiner Ducky, all the deaths were the same, single shot through the heart, killing them instantly, from what they had gathered, it was only the fact that Rick had screamed out 'Kate' and she had shifted slightly about to look at him at the exact moment the sniper had pulled the trigger, that Kate was still alive today. Brennan told them everything that they had gathered from the old cases, they had connected them when looking through old cases they had found their victims profiles in an apartment, they had realised it had been a contract killer, they had started to trace the bank accounts but they couldn't find out who they belonged too, payments popped up every time a new victim appeared. "He knows we know about the bank accounts" Booth said "it is like he is taunting us by leaving them open, we can't touch him as we don't know who he is so all we do know is when there is another victim"
Everyone was silent, then April looked at Livie who was sitting very still not very happy "hey shall we go" she asked, Livie nodded and Tali leapt up to join them, Alexis decided to give them some space to comfort each other, and stayed with the adults.
XOXOXO
Livie followed April and Tali back into Dr Brennan's office and they all fell onto the sofa again "your brother is well cute" April said to Tali who smiled "yeah he is except when he is screaming at the top of his lungs at 3 o'clock in the morning" they both winced "you ok Livie" April asked "you didn't look too happy in there" Livie smiled weakly "just worrying about my mom that is all, I mean she is the only live victim, what if he finds out and tries to kill her again" "hey" April said "he won't because our parents are going to catch this guy, come on our parents always catch the bad guy don't they" both of the other two girls nodded and April grinned before she looked at Tali "you ok" she asked "you look tired, AJ up early" Tali smiled "no I got up at 0500 to go for a run, I do that every morning, it is a good way of safely venting all my energy" they both looked at her and she lowered her head "whilst I was with Mossad they broke me, they tried to beat every emotion out of me and change it into anger, and in a way they did, I get frustrated easily and if I sense danger I react very fast, so I run to keep my emotions under control, I also work out in the gym, sparring and stuff" April grinned "you have to show me some moves some time" Tali grinned "deal" she said "wanna learn Livie" she nodded happily and Tali grinned.
Just then they heard someone calling out "Tali eifo aten tateleh" (where are you sweetheart), Tali leapt up "ima ba haarets" (mom, in here), Ziva appeared in the doorway "hello" she said. She looked at April "your father asked me to tell you that someone called Sweets is here and he wants a quick word with you" April groaned and stood up with a mock sigh and slouched out of the room, the others followed her back into Angela's office where a young man was standing talking to the rest of the teams who were looking like they were struggling to take him seriously, and Livie and Tali couldn't blame them, he looked like he was 12.
When he spotted April he grinned "hey April" he said "hi Sweets" she said with a small smile "and who are your friends" Sweets asked "um yeah Sweets this is Talia 'Tali' DiNozzo and Olivia 'Livie' Beckett, guys this is Lance Sweets, he is a psychologist with the FBI" Both girls nodded politely to him and he smiled back before studying them "stop trying to use your weird shrink powers on them" April warned, he pouted at her, "nice to meet you both" he said holding out his hand both of them shook it, Tali's eyes flicked over him assessing him as a threat before she came forward, she must have perceived him as ok because she relaxed and smiled at him as she came to say hi "so" he said "I hear you two and April are very similar, as in you have had the same haunting troubled past"
Everyone who worked for the Jeffersonion glowered threateningly at him but he ignored them, Tali eyed him "yeah" she said "I guess you could say that" "and do you cope ok" he asked interested "ok Sweets we asked you here to profile the killer, not a 13 year old girl who we already know" Booth said, Tali looked at him "yeah I cope" she said "I kick butts belonging to those who annoy me", April burst out laughing as Sweets looked from face to face trying to decide whether to take her seriously or not, "Oh she means it Sweets" April said a twinkle in her eye "her dad calls her ninja", Tony joined in "yeah cus she seriously kicks butt" Sweets eyed Tali who smiled sweetly and innocently at him as though daring him to have a go. He decided against it and turned to April "haven't seen you recently, how's it going" she rolled her eyes at him "good, no issues, no recurring nightmare flashbacks, I have had none since Christmas"
Livie saw her mom look at April as she did staring at her, April saw them looking and glanced at Livie questioningly "you have nightmare flashbacks too" Livie asked, April nodded "well I did" she said "haven't had one recently though" she looked at Livie "you have them too" Livie nodded "still" she asked gently, Livie nodded again "I had one last night" she mumbled "but they are not very common now" "they will go away" April encouraged "mine did", they could see Sweets looking at them but they both ignored him, they looked at Tali, she nodded "I had a few" she said softly "after I returned from Mossad, I dreamed of what had happened to me there, what they made me do, but they stopped after a while too"
Livie stood up and quietly left the room, Kate rose as if to follow her, but Rick caught hold of her arm "give her a minute" he said softly "time is what is best for her now" she nodded uncertainly and sank back into her seat, "Sweets profile the killer now if you would please" Booth said pointedly, April and Tali sat down next to their parents to listen to the psychologist's theory.
"well" he began "April do you remember what I told you about childhood attachments" everyone looked at April who nodded "yeah" she said "three types, insecure avoidant, insecure resistant, and secure, they are long enduring emotionally meaningful ties to a particular individual, they are extremely powerful and emotionally laden " he nodded "good, do you remember what I said about the long term effects of disrupting attachments" she nodded again "something about if the kid goes through deprivation of their childhood attachment figure at a young age it can lead to the attachment being severed, it affects future relationships and you became stronger and angrier and more independent, it can lead to affectionless psychopathy" he raised his eyebrows "very good April I am impressed" she smiled sweetly at him "and this is relevant because" Gibbs asked "what I am saying is that your killer probably suffered from deprivation at a young age, maybe his parents were killed or he was put into foster care" April visibly shuddered "I don't know exactly, but that is what triggers it, the shots are precise to the heart, meaning he is a quick and efficient person, he doesn't like mess, so he cleans up after himself, he is very careful, the fact that he shoots from such a long distance suggest though that he is not entirely emotionless"
Everyone looked at him, Sweets looked at Booth "wasn't it easier to kill behind a sniper rifle than it is with a hand gun" Booth frowned and then nodded slowly, "that is because the sniper rifle and the distance acts as a buffer, which is any aspect of a situation which distances the individual from the consequences of their actions, by distancing himself from the victims instead of doing the job at a closer range, the killer is distancing himself from the painful feelings that he feels when he takes a life, so if you catch this guy alive, you might be able to reason with him though don't hold me to that" he added at the end, everyone thought "ok thanks Sweets" Booth said "we will call you if we need you" the young psychologist nodded and left the room moving out into the gardens.
He was just about to leave when he spotted a figure sitting on the edge of the fountain staring across the grounds, slowly he moved forward "Livie" he said gently, she started slightly and looked up at him "oh hi Dr Sweets" she mumbled "just call me Sweets" he said sitting on the edge of the fountain "you ok" she shrugged, he studied her "does it have something to do with your dreams" he asked, she shrugged again but he saw a flicker of something in her eyes and knew he was right "come on Livie I am a professional, maybe I can help"
For a long time she sat there in silence and he thought she might not answer, then she quietly said "they managed to move on" "who" he asked, she looked at him "Tali and April, they don't have their dreams any more, they managed to pick their lives back up, April got over losing her parents and became an intern with her mom, Tali managed to get over becoming a trained killer, she can control that, both of them have moved on with their lives, I am still stuck" "hey" Sweets said "you are not stuck kiddo" she looked at him "I still dream, it has been over a year and I still dream, they are not as bad usually but last night it was awful, it was just like after it happened"
He studied her "do you want to talk about it" he asked, she sighed "same thing happens over and over again, someone is holding a video camera over me and talking to me, then two more come in and force me to the ground, then I see a white hot pipe coming down towards my back" she paused again "that is when someone usually manages to wake me up" Sweets looked at her "just because you still dream doesn't mean you are stuck Livie" he said, she looked at him uncertainly "it just means that you still hurt, and after what I have gathered that you have been through I am not surprised, you were not prepared in the same way Tali and April were for that, April has been coming to the Jeffersonion since she was 6 weeks old, she has seen death a lot, and Tali went to work with her parents all the time, she knew a lot about murder, and I guess her mom is a kick ass, you were kept innocent to it all, and everyone copes with things differently and at different rates, I promise that when this all goes away you are going to have an amazing future and you are going to shine bright"
She looked at him before she gave a gentle smile "thanks Sweets" she said softly "that was kind of helpful" he grinned happily "knew it would be" he said, he looked at his watch before reaching into his pocket "well listen I have an appointment so I have to run but here" he handed her his card, "if you want to talk don't hesitate ok" she nodded "thanks see you around I guess" he nodded and headed off to his car thinking, those three girls had been through the wars and survived and were recovering, slowly, maybe though they could help each other.
