I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 46

After Catherine's shift at the precinct began to drive home. She waited to the intersection that if she went straight, she would go home. If she went right, she would go to Vincent and JT's. She didn't want to do it but she really had no choice. She clicked on her right blinker and when the light turned green she stepped on the gas petal heading towards the warehouse. She parked a few blocks away and got out of her car. For once she wasn't to thrilled about going to the warehouse. After all that has happened during the past few weeks she really wasn't a fan of going to talk to him.

"Cat?" JT asked opening the door.

"Hi." Catherine said in a rather annoyed tone.

"What are you doing here?"

Catherine sighed. "Can I at least come in? It's freezing."

"Um...yeah sure." JT said stepping out of the doorway to let Catherine pass.

"He's upstairs."

Catherine stopped and turned around to face JT. "Actually I want to talk to the both of you."

"Oh...um..okay." JT said in a confused tone.

"Do you want to get Vincent or..."

"What?" Vincent asked coming down the stairs. "Catherine?"

"I need to talk to you guys." Catherine said crossing her arms.

Vincent walked down the stairs and made his way over to Catherine and JT. "What is it?"

"I found out that the government has this...piece of equipment that can track DNA and I think it might be helping Murifield find out where you are."

Vincent didn't say anything and JT's eyed grew wide. "What? Are you serious? They know where he is? Well block the windows! Lock the doors! Come on we gotta move!"

"JT relax." Catherine said. "It can only tell them what state he has been in for the past 12 hours."

"Still!"

"JT please, they only know he is in New York. New York is huge."

"Yeah but New York is still New York! They will have agents everywhere!" JT shouted. "Heck they could be out there now!"

Catherine shook her head. "There not. Believe it or not only three people in my precinct know about this. I'm not even sure if he has told his boss or whatever."

"He?" JT asked confused.

"Gabe, Gabriel Lowen."

Vincent eyes widened as he looked up at Catherine.

"I just thought you should be aware."

JT threw his hands up in the air. "We are gunna die, we're gunna die." he repeated putting his fingers to his temples. He continued to say that as he quickly walked out of the room.

"Do you really think just three people know?"

Catherine nodded. "Gabe, Me and Evan."

"Evan?"

"He and Gabe are working together."

Vincent slowly nodded.

"Anyway, I should get going. I need to call Evan to check if he found any drugs."

Vincent gave Catherine a confused look and Catherine mentally kicked her self for spilling. "Damn it." She mumbled forgetting Vincent could hear her.

"Drugs?"

Catherine slowly nodded. "Just another wild goose chase." Catherine lied as she began to walk away.

"No I don't think it is." Vincent said. "Catherine what's going on? What drugs?"

Catherine sighed and closed her eyes mentally kicking herself once more. "We searched Alex's apartment. Vincent...she was stealing medicine and supplies from the hospital."

Vincent bit his bottom lip.

"Did you know about this?" Catherine asked.

He sighed. "I didn't think she would still have it." he said under his breath.

"Vincent what's going on?" Catherine asked in a worried tone.

Vincent shook his head. "Nothing. It's nothing."

"Vincent." Catherine said in a stern voice.

He swallowed once before answering, "I made some bad choices okay?"

Catherine gave him a confused look.

"Can we just leave it at that?"

"What do you mean 'bad choices?'"

Vincent looked around trying to see if JT was any where near. "Look I can't-"

"Don't try to tell me you can't tell me Vincent, cause that's bullshit."

"Catherine..."

"Forget it Vincent." she said turning to walk away.

Vincent sighed and watched as she made her way towards the door. He knew he couldn't do this to her. Not again. He had to tell her the truth. She deserved to know. "Catherine wait." Vincent pleaded.

She turned around to face him. "Why should I?"

"Because..." he started out. "Because there is something you should know."

Catherine gave Vincent a confused look. "What?"

"Not here." Vincent said.

Catherine put her hands on her hips. "Oh?"

"Catherine please, just trust me?"

"I'm not so sure I can."

"Catherine please." Vincent begged.

Catherine sighed. "Fine. But I swear this better be good."

Vincent swallowed. "Just come with me."

Catherine rolled her eyes and followed Vincent to the back yard of the ware house. He held the back door open for her and then sat down next to the wall.

"Why do we have to go outside?" Catherine asked rubbing her arms.

"I don't want JT to hear."

Catherine rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, what does JT not know about you?"

"Just, there is something you should know, about...about the medicine."

Catherine gave Vincent a confused look and sat down next to him. "Okay."

"After my brothers died, I got tied into this dark state of my life and made some pretty bad choices."

Catherine didn't say anything.

"I got pretty down on myself actually. I had just asked Alex to marry me but I didn't get to spend any time with her because any time I had I would go see my parents to help comfort them. Before I decided to enlist I-" Vincent paused and took a deep breath. "I took a path I shouldn't have. I got addicted to medications and I wrote myself prescriptions on the prescription pads. When Alex found out she helped nurse me out of it but I was just so caught up in the death of my brothers I decided to enlist into the army. I guess once I left she got addicted herself."

Catherine gave Vincent an apologetic look but he didn't notice as he continued to stare at the ground.

"I didn't ever both to tell JT because I didn't want him thinking I was some screwed-up military experiment with a drug addiction."

"Vincent I-" Catherine started.

"I guess it was all just too much for Alex." Vincent sighed. "I shouldn't have done that to her."

Catherine looked at Vincent. "It's not your fault Vincent. Besides she hasn't been taken the medications."

Vincent turned to face Catherine. "Huh?"

"Her system was clear."

"Then why did she take them?"

"We think she was maybe a dealer." Catherine said.

"A dealer?" Vincent asked confused. "Why?"

Catherine shrugged. "Did she need money at all?"

Vincent shook his head. "No, she was an ER doctor she had an excellent salary."

Catherine nodded. "That man, in the alley, he was Murifield right?"

Vincent nodded. "Yeah, he put a gun to my neck."

"Do you think she would be dealing them to him?"

Vincent sighed. "I'm clueless." he looked over at Catherine. "I wish I knew but I don't. I'm sorry."

"What medications where you addicted to?" Cather asked catching Vincent a bit off guard.

"Um...well..." Vincent swallowed. "It was morphine. I would inject it into myself." Vincent mentally kicked himself for letting Catherine actually know this about him. The last thing he wanted was anyone else to know that side about him. Even if it was over ten years ago.

Catherine nodded. "We found morphine and empty syringes in her apartment."

Vincent stared at the ground.

"Vincent this isn't your fault. Alex got herself in this mess."

Vincent sighed. "I shouldn't even have dragged her into this when I did."

"Well there is no point in beating yourself up over it now okay? It's in the past, there is nothing you can do."

"Did the man..." Vincent paused looking over at Catherine. "The man whose neck I broke, did he have drugs in his system."

Catherine shook her head. "I don't know but I promise I'll keep you updated."

Vincent looked back to the ground. "I hope you know I meant it..." He paused. "Thank you for helping me out."

Okay be honest, who was expecting that?
