Don't answer that..too soon. Here is 41!

I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 41

"You ready?" JT asked closing the trunk to his car.

Vincent nodded without saying anything. He hated doing this to Catherine but it was for the best.

"Okay.." JT said rubbing his hands together. "Let's get this show on the road." Before getting into the driver seat he looked over at Vincent. "You okay?"

Vincent shrugged his shoulders. "I just hate doing this to Catherine, I mean I was supposed to go over to tonight and...can't we just at least tell her JT? I can leave a note, it'll take two seconds."

JT sighed. "I know you really hate doing this Vincent but just think about it. She will want to come with us and-"

"She doesn't have to come with us, I think she at least should just know were we are going." Vincent protested.

"Think about it this way, if she knows then she might act different that if she doesn't. She needs to focus on work dude. There has been too many close calls, she's a cop. Do you really want her job to get taken away?"

Vincent didn't say anything.

"She's done a lot of you man, she's covered up for you a bunch of times. With you on the road the night she got shot, Evan's little mystery...I just think it will be best for her to focus on work these next few days. If we tell her then she will be too focused on thinking about if you're okay or not. Just trust me okay? JT asked.

Vincent sighed. "Fine."

"Got the new burner phone?" JT asked.

Vincent nodded. "Yup."

"Alright, lets go."

Catherine sat at her desk and couldn't stop moving her leg up and down. After the talk she had with Brendan she felt like he knew more about her life than she originally thought. But he was right...he does tend to lean on work during a personal situation that she could get out of. A small smile brought to her face when she remembered Vincent was coming over later that night.

"What-or should I say who has got you that happy?" Tess asked taking a seat at her desk.

"Excuse me?" Catherine laughed.

"Well you're smiling, and your legs all twitchy."

"Okay so I'm in a good mood, so what?"

A large smile formed on Tess's face. "Who is he?"

Catherine laughed. "No one."

"Okay fine, I'll tell you a secret if you'll tell me who is Mr. Secret."

Catherine laughed. "Oh? And what do you have to hide?"

Tess smiled and moved closer to Catherine. "I went out to lunch with someone today."

"And are you going to tell me who that someone is?" Catherine laughed.

"Only if you tell me who your 'someone' is." Tess said.

Catherine shrugged. "I don't really feel like talking about it. Maybe some other time." she joked.

"Oh come on Cat!" Tess begged.

Catherine laughed at her partner's behavior. "Sorry."

Tess smiled and looked back to her computer.

"JT you really think this is a good idea?" Vincent asks as JT makes his way onto the highway.

"Well you have a better idea?" JT asked keeping his eyes on the road.

"I just don't think it's right to just leave Catherine there."

JT rolled his eyes. "Vincent, honestly, it's for the better."

"But-"

"No but's Vincent. It's for the better, just trust me."

Vincent didn't say anything he just looked out his window. "Where are we even going?"

JT checked his rear-view mirror so he could change lanes. "Safe Haven."

Vincent nodded. "haven't been there in forever."

JT smiled. "It'll be fun to go back."

"Yeah." Vincent sighed. "It's a good little place."

Evan sat at his desk trying to get his computer to turn on one last time.

"What's wrong with the computer?" Gabe asked as he entered the lab.

Evan turned around to face him and said, "It crashed earlier and I think all the hard drive is gone."

"Well didn't you back it up?" Gabe asked.

Evan shook his head. "Nope."

Gabe walked over to the computer and tried to turn it on and off a few times but nothing worked. "That's strange. Let me go get something out of my office that should work hold on."

Evan nodded. "Alright, I'll be here."

Gabe made his way up to his office and opened one of the drawers in his desk taking out a flash drive. He grabbed his laptop out of his bag and then left the room. After he got back to the lab he made he sat in one of the chairs and opened up the lab top ejecting the flash drive into the side of it. "Alright..." Gabe said under his breath. "Let's see here."

Evan turned in his chair to face Gabe. "What are you doing."

"I actually did download some of your files onto this flash drive so not all of them are gone." Gabe said as he put the flash drive in the side of the laptop. "What's the file you needed?"

"I don't need a file, I just want to get this computer up and running."

Gabe nodded.

"If I bring it to a computer specialist I don't want them to find the information about the cross-species DNA."

"True."

Later that night Catherine walked into her apartment and made her way to her bedroom. It was 8:00, the usual time Vincent got to her apartment. She waited on her bed for about fifteen minutes when her sister came in.

"Hey." she said in a small voice.

"Hi." Catherine replied hugging her knees.

"You okay?" Heather asked concerned.

Catherine forced a smile. "Yeah." she sat up and patted a spot on her bed. "Sit."

Heather smiled and made her way over to her sister's bed. "How was work?"

"Fine, thank you." Catherine smiled. "How was your day?"

Heather shrugged. "Okay I guess. But I had this really weird feeling the entire day."

Catherine gave her sister a confused look. "Oh?"

Heather nodded. "Yeah, like someone was watching me."

A small smile wanted to escape from her lips but she forced her mouth to stay still. "That's weird. Did it stop?"

"Yeah when I came home I was fine but I don't know it was just weird." Heather took a hand and rubbed her arm. "It's freezing in here!"

Catherine laughed.

Heather looked around then she noticed the open window to the fire escape. "No wonder it's freezing! The window's open!" Heather got up off the bed and made her way towards the window. She reached up and pulled the other half down.

Catherine watched the window close and felt her shoulders sink down a bit. She looked over at the clock. 8:30.

"You sure you okay?" Heather asked making her way back to the bed.

Catherine nodded and looked towards her sister.

"Do you want to go out to dinner?" Heather asked.

Catherine smiled. "Give me about an hour to get ready? I'm kinda a mess from work today."

Heather laughed. "You look fine, but sure, I'll be in the living room watching American Idol."

Catherine laughed. "Okay, have fun. I'll be ready to go soon."

Heather walked out of her sister's room and Catherine looked towards the fire escape. "Where are you?" She said under her breath. She leaned over and grabbed her phone off the stand next to her bed. She typed a message to Vincent. 'Everything okay?' She pressed send and sighed once again. She got up and made her way over to the shower.

About forty-five minutes she walked back into her room and grabbed a hair brush. She began brushing her hair staring at the fire escapes reflection in the mirror.

A small knock came from her door.

"Come on in." Catherine called out.

Heather opened the door and stepped into the room. "Almost ready?"

Catherine nodded. "Yup, just give me a minute."

Heather smiled. "Okay, reservations are made."

"Where are we going?" Catherine asked still looking at the fire escapes reflection.

"It's a surprise silly." Heather laughed.

Catherine chuckled. "Okay."

After Heather closed the door Catherine put the brush down and grabbed a pad of paper from one of her drawers.

'Went out to dinner with Heather. Be back around 10. Hopefully I'll see you then.'

She folded it up and wrote a cursive "V" on it and placed it near the window. She made her way over to the door and stepped out into the hallway. She took one last look at the fire escape before closing the door. "I'm ready." she called out.

"Great." Heather said putting on her jacket. "Let's go."
