I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 40

Catherine walked up to Joe office and she was about to knock as she heard laughter from both Tess and Joe. She made a confused face and then decided to knock. She heard some things being moved and then Joe clearing his throat.

"Come in." He called.

Catherine slowly opened the door and just poked her head in. "Um hi Joe, can I steal Tess for a minute?"

Joe smiled. "Sure, we were just finishing up."

"Great." Catherine said smiling.

Tess got up and walked over to the door.

The two detectives walked out of the room and Catherine could help but wonder what the meeting was about. It couldn't have been about the case because they would have included her too.

"So what do you need me for?" Tess asked while following Catherine.

"I need you to talk to Gabe with me."

"Ew." Tess said.

Catherine rolled her eyes. "You're fine. He might be a perp."

"Are you serious?" Tess asked in disbelief. "You think Shower-Guy killed Johnson?"

Catherine shook her head. "I don't think he's the one who killed him but he's deffinatly hiding something."

"Then talk to Brendan."

"I don't need a psychologist's help to get answers. I'm a detective remember?" Catherine said in a more of a harsh tone than she intended.

"Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Tess said.

"I do actually. Vincent Keller." Evan said.

"Vincent Keller?" Gabe asked.

Evan nodded. "Yes but here's the weird thing, he has a death certificate."

"He does?" Gabe asked rubbing his chin.

"Yeah, now I don't know how a dead guy's DNA ends up all of New York nine years later but there's no question. The DNA found at some local crime scene's belonged to this guy." Evan pulled up a picture of Vincent from back when he worked at the hospital.

"The Army?" Gabe asked noticing Vincent's background check.

Evan nodded. "That's when he was reported dead."

"So you're saying it was staged or something?"

Evan shrugged. "Either that or something is just messed up."

"Where was the last place his DNA showed up?" Gabe asked.

"At Catherine's crime scene."

"Catherine's?"

Evan nodded. "She was shot about a month ago and her car flipped. I happened to be driving home and saw her in the arms of some man-like thing. The car door was bent from the crash but seemed to be ripped off."

"Ripped off?" Gabe asked.

"Yes, I don't know how that is even possible but some how it got torn off it's hinges."

Gabe just nodded. He found out what he need to know. "Could you excuse me for one moment?"

Evan nodded. "Sure."

Just as Gabe was about to step outside the room to make a phone call Catherine walked in with Tess close behind.

"Excuse me." Gabe said trying to sneak by.

Catherine shook her head. "Uh no."

"Pardon?" Gabe asked slightly shocked.

"We need to ask you a few questions."

Gabe began to laugh. "So you got your partner huh? I'm serious, you two are wasting you're time." He tried to move past them but Tess stepped in front of him.

"You're kidding right?"

Tess shook her head.

Gabe turned around to face Evan and smiled. "Looks like you work with two feisty woman."

Evan kept his mouth shut avoiding having Catherine or Tess mad at him. Especially Catherine.

"Come with us." Catherine said giving Gabe a stern look.

Gabe rolled his eyes and put his phone back in his pocket. "Alright, let's get this over with."

Vincent sat down at the table in the middle of the room with her hands supporting his head. It has been 6 hours since he last spoke or even saw JT. He stayed up in his room not really wanting to say anything. What it true that he felt lost? Absolutely. He had no idea what to do anymore. Watching his father talk about how he lost all three of his sons, it felt like someone taking a knife and sticking it straight through his chest. He didn't know how much more he could take. DNA mutating, Lafferty dying, him being wanted for murder (actually he was now classified as a serial killer), the death of his ex-fiance, Catherine having to lie to everyone she loved and cared about just to protect him. He hated it. And he didn't know how much longer he could take.

He decided that just ignoring JT was not helping with any of this. He sighed and rubbed his face before making his way down the stairs.

"I'm sorry." He said making his way over to his room-mate who was packing his briefcase for work.

JT shrugged. "I shouldn't have pushed, I'm sorry. I know you're going through a lot."

Vincent just nodded and watched as JT went through some papers.

"So I've been thinking..." JT started out. "I think your mutating DNA could be another evolutionary step like a new mammal ability breaking through. Anything physical changing?"

Vincent shrugged. "I dunno. Just my eyes playing up on me."

JT sighed. "Yeah, I know that Birthday-Boy said it might try taking you over with guilt but I just don't think that's it. Besides, we can't really predict that much because we don't know that much to begin with in the first place. Maybe you'll change genders like a clown-fish."

Vincent didn't say anything.

JT laughed. "Come on that was a joke."

Vincent faked a laugh. "Yeah."

"What?" JT asked.

"I just don't know how much more I can take."

JT sighed. "You have to stop beating yourself up man." JT said.

"Well I never got to say good-bye to my dad and I never even reached out when I got back..."

"And you had a damn good reason!" JT said. "Murifield was hunting you! If they found you anywhere near him they-"

"No you're right, you're right. I never wanted my parents involved in any of this."

"Your reason for coming back down?" JT asked.

Vincent nodded. "Mm-hm."

"My favorite part. I was actually off to campus to get some of my own. Sarah is an earth-science professor emphasis in evolution."

"Sarah..." Vincent smiled.

"Thought I'd hit her up with some mutation questions."

"Good for you, just remember to uh...make sure I'm not turning into a female clown-fish." Vincent joked.

JT laughed and put his briefcase over his shoulder. "Or are you?" He asked making his way out the door.

Vincent smiled and heard his phone vibrate in his pocket. He reached in his pocket to grab the phone and pulled it out. Catherine.

He was a bit confused because she never texted him during the day when she was at work. He opened his phone and read the message to himself.

"Hello?" Vincent asked into the phone.

"Hi, is JT there?" Catherine asked.

"Um no, why? Is everything all right?" Vincent said as he felt his heart beat pick up a bit.

"Well, I just really need to talk to you but I don't want JT to know just yet."

"Um...okay. You sure everything's alright? You sound nervous." Vincent said in a concerned tone.

"I'm fine I promise. Can I come by?"

"Sure. He just left."

"Good." Catherine said.

Before Vincent could reply the line already went dead. 'That was odd.' he thought to himself.

After a couple minutes passed he heard her pull her car up to the warehouse. He knew she was lying when she said she was fine. He could hear her heat rate loud and clear and from that, he already knew she was far away from being fine.

So I know the scene with Vincent finally coming down the stairs and talked to JT was different than the sneak peek but I really wanted to include that little scene. What did Catherine find out and why didn't she want JT to hear? Hmm...

Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW! :)

PS: I'm sorry there hasn't been much 'fluff' this isn't exactly a fluffy story but I will try to add it in when I can. I'm trying my best to mainly focus on the spoiler's they've given us and the information we know and turn it into a story. I will try my best to add fluff here and there and I really apologize there hasn't been much of that. 100,000 WORDS!
