Here's chapter 26 :)

I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 36

"Where the freaking hell were you?! I thought you were going on a short walk, not walking to Canada and back! It's been two hours!" JT said as Vincent walk through the door.

Vincent looked at JT with a straight face and mumbled, "Sorry."

"Sorry?! Sorry? You're sorry?" JT threw his hands up in the air. "No, sorry if when you eat the last cupcake and someone else wanted it not disappearing leaving your room-mate alone in an abandon warehouse to start having chest pains!"

Vincent's expression stayed the same. "I'm sorry JT I didn't mean to upset you."

JT crossed his arms but then noticed something was seriously wrong with Vincent. "Where were you anyway?"

"Visiting Lafferty's grave." Vincent said in a small voice.

"What?" JT asked walking over towards his friend.

"I went to the military memorial. Figured I should..you know...say a few words."

JT slowly nodded. "I'm sorry I snapped at you, I know this must be really hard on you right now."

Vincent didn't say anything he just thought about his father. Murifield. It was all their fault. All he wanted to do was protect his country, his family and they did this to him. They took away his humanity and then tried to kill him. Kill him. He wanted to protect his country but instead of protecting his country it turned out he need to protect his family, from him.

"Hey you okay man?" JT asked.

Vincent stared off in front of him not saying a word.

"Vincent?"

Vincent stared taking deep slow breaths and his eyes began shifting colors.

"Vincent?!" JT said again.

He put his hand up to his forehead and took a deep breath.

"Dude, you okay?" JT asked.

Vincent slowly nodded. "Yeah." he paused and took another deep breath. "I'm fine."

As Vincent looked up to face JT he noticed his eyes were blood shot. "You sure you're okay?"

Vincent swallowed and looked towards the stairs. "I'm fine. Just...just tired."

"Well...um...okay." JT said pretty sure Vincent was lying.

Without making eye contact Vincent quickly walked upstairs leaving a very confused JT behind.

He made his way up the stairs and walked over to the punching bag and threw a punch as hard as he could. The bag shot backwards hitting the metal pole behind it. He put his hands on his head and walked around a bit just trying to clear his head. He paced back and forth for about five minutes. He walked over to the table in the middle of the room and placed both his hands on it allowing his head to drop between his shoulders. He took a deep breath trying to calm himself down a bit but nothing seemed to calm down the emotions he was feeling. He let go of the table and walked over to his dresser. He opened the top draw and pulled out the engagement ring from Alex. He held it in his hand expecting another mind trick but nothing. Nothing happened. He thought about that night on the ice, he thought about that night at the restaurant and even the first day they met. He put the ring back in the drawer and pulled out a different box. He opened it up and grabbed the pieces of metal that still had the rubber around the edges. He ran his thumb over his name that was carved into the tag. He thought about the letter from his parents and how proud they said they were. A small smile formed on his face remembering how nervous he was getting on the plan to Georgia for basic training. He took both of his hands and separated the two sides of the necklace and slipped it over his head. He grabbed the two tags and put them in his hand. He hadn't wore them since he was in Afghanistan. He was to angry to even look at anything that had to do with the army not including the fact it had his name on it. However it was still a part of his past. Even though he may not have liked what happened in his past it was still his life. He knew he joined for good intentions he didn't ask for this to be done to him. But if it was never done to him, he wouldn't know Catherine. A large smile formed on his face thinking about her. She's seen him when he wanted no one to see him and she still hasn't run. He didn't know why but he knew she was special. He knew Catherine cared about him.

"Vincent?" JT asked entering the room.

Vincent jumped a bit and turned around to face his friend. "JT?"

"What do you got there?" JT asked refuring to Vincent's dog tags.

Vincent looked down and then quickly removed the tags from his neck. "Nothing.."

JT walked over to and gave Vincent a confused look. "No, really what was it?"

Vincent didn't saw anything he just continued to run his thumb across the indented metal.

"You still have those?" JT asked finally understanding what they were.

Vincent slowly nodded. "Yeah."

"Do you still have everything else?"

Vincent shrugged. "Somewhere."

JT nodded. "What happened tonight?"

Vincent looked up to face JT and said, "I told you I went to visit Lafferty's grave."

JT slowly nodded and Vincent placed the tags back in the drawer. "You sure that was it?"

For a second Vincent didn't say anything but then he finally spoke. "It brought back a lot of memories."

"I'm sorry." JT said.

Vincent shrugged. "It's alright."

"Well I just wanted to make sure you were okay." JT said before turning around to exit the room.

"JT wait..." Vincent said.

JT slowly turned around. "What?"

"I saw my father." Vincent said nervously.

JT grew wide eyed. "Oh my god did he recognize you? Where? When? How?"

"I sorta visited the 9-11 Memorial after I found the note and -"

"Wait." JT cut in. "What note?! The note from Lafferty?"

Vincent shook his head. "No sorry, just a note from my parents."

"Well where did you find that?" JT asked in almost a yell.

"At my grave." Vincent said.

JT fell silent and then said, "You visited your grave?"

Vincent shook his head. "I didn't mean to I just saw it so I stopped and found this flower pot and it had a note from my parents and ..." Vincent paused. "That's not my point. My point is I saw my dad and I talked to him."

JT stood in shock. "You- You talked to him?! What are you crazy?"

"No JT I'm not crazy!" Vincent yelled. "I'm lost!"

JT gave Vincent a confused look. "Come again"

Vincent took a deep breath. "Nothing."

"No man you can-"

"I said nothing alright!" Vincent snapped.

JT fell silent and turned back to walk out of the room.

Vincent watched as he left regretting he even said anything. But it was true. He felt lost. He didn't know any more. Before his life was hide in a warehouse day and night but now...he just didn't know. Everything seemed to be just collapsing around him.

Catherine made her way into work the next day and to her surprise Gabe and Tess were actually having what seemed to be a civil conversation.

She was about to walk over to them when Evan walked right in front of her. "Cat!"

"Evan!" She said back jokingly mocking him.

"I need to talk to you."

Catherine gave him a confused look. "Um...okay."

"Follow me." Evan said taking Catherine's hand.

"Where are we going?" Catherine asked laughing.

Evan quickly walked down the the lab and brought Catherine into the lab and closed the door behind them.

Catherine gave Evan a very confused look. "Yes?"

"I have a plan." Evan said excitedly.

"A plan?" Catherine asked.

Evan nodded. "Yes."

"And what is this plan for?" Catherine laughed.

"I'm going to catch it and it's full proof."

Catherine smile dropped. "Catch what?"

"The beast." Evan said smiling.

Catherine raised an eye brow. "The beast?"

"Yes."

She put a hand to her forehead and sighed before saying, "Evan for the last time there is no beast."

"Well, after this plan we will see."

"Evan-"

"I'm telling you Cat there is a creäture out there who saved you and me. Don't even try telling me that you want to think about it as someone looking out for you because this is an actual human-hybrid-crossed-DNA-thing. It's out there."

"Evan-"

"And I'm going to find it!"

"Evan...I thought you were going to calm down a bit about all this."

Evan shook his head. "Not when I'm this close Cat."

"Close?" Catherine asked as she could feel her heart beat increase.

Evan nodded and motioned her over to the computer. "You see I figured out that this creature only appears in someone's time of need."

"Evan...I'm pretty sure there is no Bat-man of New York City."

Evan just shook his head. "Well think again! See? He shows up in random cases."

"Evan..."

He turned around to look at Catherine. "I'm going to find him and I'm sorry Cat but you can't stop me."

What do you guys think Evan's plan is going to be? PLEASE REVIEW! :)
