I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 5 Preview

Vincent sat back in his chair not believing what just came out of Alex's mouth. She knew about Murifield and she was working for them. 'What if she was working on a cure?' Vincent thought. His mind filled with questions and Alex must have noticed because she finally said something.

"You alright Jay?" Alex ask with concern.

"Huh?" Vincent shook his head, "Yeah I'm fine." he took a deep breath. "Just a lot of information." He said forcing a smile.

"Yeah it is a lot. I don't know..." Alex said laughing. "I always wanted to tell someone even though I'm not supposed to and just something..." she paused and closed her eyes. "Just something just told me to tell you." she finished opening her eyes back up to look at Vincent.

Vincent smiled. "Well, thanks for sharing, it sound like a really interesting job that could change a lot of people's lives."

"Well..." Alex started out. "They have tried it before and believe me, it did change a lot of lives but no in the way you would expect." she said leaning back in her chair.

"What do you mean?" Vincent said trying to act as normal as possible even though he was completely flipping out inside.

Alex looked up ignoring Vincent's question and looked over to where the doors to the café were. "I'm sorry I have to go. It was wonderful talking to you. I'll see you around." Alex got up and left before Vincent could say anything.

He watched Alex go through the doors and as soon as she was out of sight Vincent decided to go visit Catherine. He got up and pushed the chair in and walked to the elevator.

When the elevator got up to Catherine's floor he put the mask over the bottom part of his face and made his way over to Catherine's room. He listened to see if anyone else was in there and thankfully it was just her. He opened the door slowly and walked over to her.

"Hi" Catherine said as she patted the spot on her bed for him to take a seat.

"Hey." Vincent replied making his way over towards Catherine. "I have to tell you something about Alex." Vincent said as he sat down. "There is something you need to know."

Catherine sat up with a confused look on her face. "What is it? You know you can tell me anything Vincent."

"Alex is part of Murifield." Vincent said waiting for Catherine's reaction.

"Oh my god! did she recognize you?" Catherine grew wide-eyed and Vincent heard her pulse racing.

"Thankfully, no." Vincent said interlocking his fingers together. "She joined after your mother died and apparently, she is working on a new and improved shot."

"So does that mean an antidote?" she asked sitting up.

"No, not exactly, apparently they are trying to create a new and improved version of the super soldiers." He looked over at Catherine. "But maybe she can lead to finding a cure. If I talk to her enough maybe I can get her to tell me about the antidote."

"Are you sure its a good idea to be talking about it? She might get a bit suspicious." Catherine sighed. She was concerned about Alex finding out about him.

Vincent grabbed Catherine's hand in his. "If it means I get to spend more time with you in the future. Then its a risk I'm willing to take." He brought Catherine's hand up to his lips and softly kissed her hand.

Later that evening Vincent made his way back to the warehouse. He was trying to think of a good way to tell J.T. what he learned about Alex but he couldn't think of a way that would not make him completely flip.

Without any idea on how he was going to tell J.T. Vincent entered the warehouse to find J.T. sitting on the couch with his laptop.

"Good, your back." J.T. said standing up. "How did it go?"

Vincent didn't say anything. He was two busy thinking of a way to word it. He made his way over to the couch and sat down.

"Oh god, what happened Vincent?" J.T. said sitting back down on the couch.

"Nothing..." Vincent lied.

"Vincent come on, I can tell when your lying, what happened? Just tell me." J.T. said putting on foot up on his knee.

Vincent sighed. "Alex is working for Murifield." For a second nothing happened and J.T. didn't move.

"Oh my god!" J.T. shouted after a couple minutes. "Oh my god!" he said again jumping up from the couch. He began walking back and forth in front of the couch rubbing his neck. "Oh my god, oh my god..." J.T. was quite again for a couple minutes so Vincent decided to say something.

"I think Alex, may know something about an antidote." Vincent said standing up.

J.T. stopped pacing and looked over at Vincent. "Why? Did she say something?"

Vincent heard J.T. heart beating a mile per minute. "J.T. would you please calm down."

"Calm down? Calm down? You're telling me to calm down? You just told me your ex-fiance slash new doctor friend is part of Murifield and you're seriously telling me to calm down?" J.T.'s hands began to shake.

"J.T. please. Please just calm down, I'm not telling you anything until you just calm down a little bit." Vincent said trying to keep himself calm as well.

J.T. stopped moving and sat back down on the coach. He rubbed his face with his hands and took a deep breath. "Okay." he said. "I'm calm."

"Thank you." Vincent said as he sat down next to J.T. "Now, the reason why I think she might lead to an antidote is because she was talking about Murifield making a new shot to give new soldiers."

"Wait..." J.T. started.

Vincent put his finger up telling J.T. to wait a minute. "So if they made a new shot they must of figured out what caused all the side effects and then did something to make sure it doesn't happen with the new super soldiers." Vincent put his finger down telling J.T. he could now ask questions.

"So, Murifield is making new super soldiers?" J.T. asked

"As far as I know, yes. However, I'm not exactly sure." Vincent checked to see is J.T. was still calm and he was so Vincent decided to continue. "That's why I'm going to go back tomorrow to figure out exactly what she knows."

J.T. rubbed his forehead. "So basically, you are going to go talk to a Murifield agent and put both of our lives at risk?"

Vincent didn't answer he just looked over at J.T. who was still rubbing his forehead.

"No." J.T. finally said. "No, your not going back." J.T. got up and walked over to the fridge.

"J.T. you said yourself just last night that if I don't go back she is going to think I'm hiding something." Vincent said as he walked over to J.T. "If I don't go back she is defiantly going to get suspicious and then before you know we will be back on Murifield's radar.

J.T. sighed knowing Vincent was right. "I guess you have a point but if anything, and I mean anything goes the slightest bit wrong, you're not going back."

Vincent nodded in agreement. "Okay."

The next morning Vincent made his way back to the hospital. He desperately wanted to go up to Alex and just flat out ask her if she knew of an antidote but no way could he do that without giving away everything.

He made his way up to Catherine's room and began walking towards the door.

"Jay!" Alex called out from down the hall

Vincent turned around to see Alex and she was walking towards him. He took a deep breath and walked over to her meeting her half way.

"I'm sorry about yesterday. I had to check on a patient." Alex smiled.

Vincent heard her heart rate suddenly increase. 'She's lying' he thought. "It's okay." he said. "I completely understand. Being a doctor its uh...a busy job." Vincent laughed nervously.

Alex smiled and laughed. "It sure is!" she said rolling her eyes. "I really did enjoy talking to you though, however your girlfriend is, she is one lucky girl."

"um..." Vincent started "Thanks."

"Anyway," Alex said changing the subject. "I was wondering if you wanted to join me for lunch again today."

"Uh, sure." Vincent said hoping he would be able to find out more about Murifield.

"Great." Alex said smiling. "I'll meet down down in the cafe around noon." Alex walked down the hall and Vincent took a deep breath.

Vincent sighed as he opened the door to Catherine's room after he checked to see if anyone else was in there. He walked in and she was staring out the window.

"You okay?" Vincent asked walking over.

Catherine jumped in suprise. "Oh, hi." she said turning to face him.

"Are you okay?" Vincent noticed her pulse was racing. He sat down on the end of her hospital bed.

"Um...yeah." Catherine said sitting up. "Just thinking that's all."

Vincent nodded and looked down at the floor.

"Vincent I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Catherine said leaning towards him and grabbing his hand.

Vincent looked up at her. "Huh?" he asked.

"Vincent, I'm worried that Alex is going to find out and I just...I lo-" Catherine stopped and cleared her throat. "Vincent I care about you way to much to loose you."

Vincent looked over at Catherine and saw her eyes become red. "Vincent, I just want you to be safe." Catherine whipped away a tear.

Vincent took one of his arms and wrapped it around Catherine. "You don't have to worry about a thing Catherine. I promise I will be okay. You just worry about getting better alright?"

Catherine sniffled and whipped away an oncoming tear. "Okay." she managed to say.

Vincent gave her a hug and brought his lips to her forehead and planted a soft gentle kiss. "You don't have to worry about a thing." he whispered in her ear.

Catherine smiled and mouthed the words 'Thank you.'

Vincent and Catherine both smiled at each other when there was a knock on the door. He quickly rose to his feet realizing it was Alex who was just seconds from entering the room. He looked around and slid behind the bathroom door closing it as quietly as he could.

"How are you feeling Catherine?" Alex asked as she entered the room.

"Better thanks." Catherine replied glancing quickly at the bathroom door.

"Good." Alex said looking down at her clipboard "Looks like you will be able to leave sooner than expected, but I still suggest taking a few days if not a week off from work. And when you do return to just stick to working at your desk for about a week or two."

Catherine was upset she would have to stick to desk duty but knew it was for the better. "Great. Thank you so much."

Right when Catherine finished Evan and Tess walked in. "Oh, I'm sorry is now a bad time?" Evan asked closing the door behind him.

"Nope, I was just about to leave." Alex smiled.

As Alex left Tess took a seat on the end of Catherine's bed. "How you feeling bud?" Tess smiled

"Good thanks, Doctor just told me I should be outta here in sooner than expected." Catherine smiled "Hey where's Heather?"

"Heather is at your apartment, she said something about visiting later and that she was busy." Evan replied.

"Oh, okay." Catherine said.

"Catherine I hate to ask you this while your still recovering but Joe wanted to know if you knew anything about a break-in to the lab." Tess said glancing at Evan.

"What?" Catherine asked thinking about J.T.

"Yeah, a few days ago some guy went into the lab posing as Evan's new intern, and I saw him working on something."

"Huh, I had no idea." Catherine lied. She hated lying to Tess but what what other choice did she have? She cared about Vincent way to much to ever put his or J.T.'s safety at risk.

"Alright." Evan sighed. "Well if you remember anything you just let us know." Evan said returning to the door. "Tess come on, Joe said we had to go back as soon as possible."

Tess sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine." Tess said getting up. "Get better soon, see you later." Tess said as she followed Evan out the door.

Catherine sighed as she thought about when J.T. went into the lab to make the serum for Vincent.

"You alright?" Vincent asked stepping out. "I could hear your heart beat you seemed really nervous about something." He took a seat at the end of her bed.

"I took J.T. over to the lab to make the serum to treat the blackouts and Tess must have saw him." Catherine said as she leaned back on her pillow.

Vincent sighed. "It will be okay." Vincent said reassuringly. "Don't even worry about it, you just focus on getting better. If it comes up again then we will worry about it then." he smiled taking Catherine's hand in his. They both smiled at each other until Vincent looked over at the clock.

"I gotta go meet Alex for lunch. Hopefully I will find out more about what Murifield is up to." Vincent said as he got up from the bed releasing his grip from Catherine's hand.

Catherine held onto Vincent's hand causing him to stop. "Vincent, promise me you will be safe." she said looking up at him.

"I promise." He leaned over and kissed her forehead gently. "Just get some sleep okay? I'll be back tomorrow." he smiled as walked over to the door.

Catherine smiled and feel asleep thinking about Vincent.

He made his way down the stairs and over to where Alex was sitting. She waved her hand in the air telling him to join her.

"Hi, I'm glad you could make it." Alex said as she took the cover off her salad.

"Yeah no problem. So whats up?" Vincent asked trying to sound normal. He wanted to know as much as he possibly could about Murifield and what they have been up to but he knew he couldn't be the one to bring it up.

"So, I have a question." Alex started out after she swallowed a bite of her salad.

"Shoot." Vincent said. He really hoped it was just about doctor stuff but something told him it wasn't.

"So since yesterday, you seemed really interested about Operation Murifield I thought of something." Alex said taking another bite of her salad.

Vincent's heart rate increased but he took a deep breath. "Okay..." Vincent said trying to remain as calm as he possibly could.

"Well you see, it is a rather big operation and it takes a lot of people to run it. So I was wondering if you would want to help me. You seem really deticated about working here and when Murifield first told me I should think about getting a partner you where the first person that came to my mind." Alex put her fork down. "So? What do you say? Do you wanna help me out?"

So chapter 5 is pretty self explanatory. Basically Alex just asked Vincent if he wanted to help her out with Operation Murifield...hmm

Chapter 6 will be up as soon as possible, it might not be up as quick as the other chapters have been posted so if I get a chance I will surely put up a preview but no promises. Thank you all so much for reviewing/reading it means a bunch! Be sure to review to let me know what you think!
