A/N: First of all, and I may repeat myself here: Thank you for all your lovely reviews.

Some questions were raised in recent reviews.

So, is Jon serious about not feeling anything about her or is he just hiding his true feelings because it's easier that way and it's the way he's lived all his life?

Dean really doesn't know how to express his feelings for Lilly. He noticed her that first day she bumped into Seth but he was too scared to feel like that for someone. He doesn't know love, so it is easier to push her away. Yu are right, it is easier for him not to address those feelings because that is how he lived all his life.

So, why is Lilly suddenly trusting him and liking him - is she starting to develop real feelings for her or is she just confused?

It is a mix of some weird way of Stockholm syndrome maybe and the level of stress she is facing plus the fact that she was almost killed and has this need to feel alive. He is the only human being around her at that time and I guess he proved to her that he will protect her. Once Lilly was able to see past her fear of Dean and see the man behind that mask she noticed that he is something special.

And maybe she develops a little helper syndrome on top of that, chicks dig tortured heroes, don't they?

And what about all the actions scenes? So perfect, it was just like seeing a film! W-O-W!

Honestly, I feel like I can't write action scenes. That is something I need to advance in. But it seems like I am on a good way. J Thanks.

What I wanted to point out is, that when Dean walks into that warehouse in chapter 5 and talks to the Chief, he totally acts like Dean Ambrose on TV. All arrogant, all swaying from side to side, putting on this lunatic vibe. When he asks questions, he will do this thing where he opens his eyes so wide you can see how perfectly blue they are. (I love those eyes). So that is just a side note. When he addresses the Chief, Dani or later the bad guys, imagine him like you see him on TV.

Chapter 6

Seth returned to the office after the meeting. He wanted to get some work done before going home because today had all been about Lilly and he was pretty sure that by tonight the stuff on his desk would have piled up to the ceiling.

He stepped out of the elevator and was surprised to find the lights still on. And Claire behind the front desk.

"Oh hey Seth, I didn't expect you back tonight. How is Lilly?" He liked the fact that Claire asked about Lilly's wellbeing because she was simply concerned for her wellbeing not because she didn't trust Dean. True, they acted like cat and dog around each other but at the end of the day Claire was one of the rare people Dean talked more than two words to and Claire was one of the few people who trusted his brother as much as he did.

Seth wiped his hands over his tired eyes. "Lilly was fine last time I saw her at the meeting. Gossip is that there was a police chase downtown with shooting. They were chasing a motorcycle. Since I can't get Dean on the phone I take it they were involved and he went into hiding. He will carry out the alpha protocol now. Roman looks into the chase. I came to do some work."

Claire stepped out behind her oval desk and put a little case in Seth's hand. "Get your contacts out, your eyes are red and look tired. I will order us some Chinese and I talk you through the stuff that piled up today."

Seth sighed. "That would be great. I take the usual." With that he walked to his office only to be stopped by Claire again. "By the way, how did the meeting go?" she smiled because she knew the parties involved.

"Like a charm. Everyone walked out alive but mildly insulted by each other. There is no lost love between Dean and Dani and the Chief."

"You have to tell me the story one day how Dean managed to piss your father off so much." Seth sighed again, this was becoming a bad habit and fast. "Its a story for another day." he just told her and walked on to his office.

Claire walked in with their food 15 minutes later. Seth had put his jacket and tie away and the first three buttons of his dress shirt were open, the sleeves rolled up to the elbow exposing wiry forearms. He wore his rimless glasses and his eyes looked better already.

"Here you go." Claire put his containers in front of him and went to get two bottles of water out of his mini fridge.

"The first 5 letters are the usual stuff. Nothing special you can sign them blindly. The sixth one is about that Martin case you worked on, you should read it. Letter seven is pure joy. You remember the guy complaining about Dean being his bodyguard? That Dean didn't allow him to follow through with his routine? That is the official were sorry for that but hey, at least you are still alive crap. And that's all. Roman has some paperwork on his desk and Dean...has nothing. I am still waiting on his expenses report from last month, maybe you can talk to him?"

Seth looked at her. "Do I look like I have a death wish?" he asked putting on a scared face.

Claire laughed, the lovely sound filling the quiet office and something in Seth' belly contracted and he couldn't help but stare at her carefree face.

"I will do it then. I really don't know why you guys are so afraid of him. Sure he is an asshole but his scary face is actually quite cute, pouting like a big toddler."

Seth who just chewed on some noodles coughed because apparently laughing and swallowing food at the same time wasn't a good idea.

"Never ever let him hear that. We wouldn't find a piece of your body afterwards." he warned her still laughing.

"He will be alright, right? And Lilly as well?" Claire asked suddenly concerned for the safety of the two of them after what happened earlier.

Seth was serious all of a sudden. All these playful conversations were really just an outlet for the stress he felt inside not knowing if his brother and his ward were ok. "They will be. I never came across one single man capable of killing that SOB." He grabbed Claire's hand reassuringly and squeezed it ignoring the electrical jolt that went up his spine from the contact.

Roman heard about the shooting and went to investigate sending Seth back to the office. He was too much on edge to deal with paper work and he knew Claire was still their running the show. So sending Seth was the logical choice.

He arrived at the point where police had lost the guys on the motorcycle they were chasing. Two police cruisers with flashing lights were on scene and the four cops talked animatedly with each other.

He wanted to use the moment to slide in one of the cruisers to check the build in video system when someone said: "You can't just sit in a police car!"

He actually flinched and turned around. Danielle stood behind him, hands on her hips, tapping one shoe on the pavement. "I need to find out if they were chasing Dean and I need to find out if they are ok. Dean went radio silent and before tomorrow we have no way to contact him. If you would engage this lovely cops in a little chat I can be in and out of here in a minute. Please Dani. Even if you give a damn about Deans safety, Lilly could be hurt as well." Dani sighed, he had her there. "A minute. Hurry, don't get caught." Roman just raised an eyebrow silently saying: Please, you talk to the best.

Dani went over to the cops and engaged them in a chat while Roman used his little PDA to download the video files. In under a minute he was done.

He signaled Dani and she joined him a little later. He was already reviewing the videos.

"It was them. They caught them at a crossroad and after seeing the license plate gave chase. They shoot at them to kill and here.." he showed Dani the scene "I think Lilly got hit. But Dean wouldn't let her out without a protective vest and since she holds on she must be alright. Thank God."

"Where did he go with her? Maybe it is time to end this one man show and put her under the protection of the Marshalls."

"I don't know where he would bring her. It is his choice and he will contact us tomorrow. Dani, one advice, don't take Lilly away from him, it might get ugly."

Dani studied his face. "What are you saying?"

"That he has a thing for her, even before. He is in full protection mode right now and he won't let anyone near her. But that also means she is safe with him. Let this play out and do your job at the DAs office."

"Oh believe me, I will do my job. And one day I will not hesitate to bring Dean Ambrose down."

"Why can't you let the past rest Dani?" "Because he got my baby brother killed and I will never forgive him for that." she spat out and walked away.
