**I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW OR THE CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, I AM JUST BORROWING THEM**

-The House Boat-

The smell of fresh brewed coffee filled the air. Catherine awakened by its smell sits up and eyeballs her surroundings letting off a small grin on the left side of

her mouth. She gets up out of the bed, dresses, and heads downstairs to find a cup of coffee sitting next to a sheet of paper. She reads… "Be back soon. –

Vincent" She smiles real big, then picks up the cup of coffee. Catherine makes her way to the bathroom and sheds off her clothes to shower. She puts on a

robe and takes her clothing and puts them in the washer to be washed. She looks back over to the note that Vincent wrote her and bites her bottom lip. The

thoughts of them together the previous night ran through her head, and it began to turn her on a little. She makes way back to the bathroom and turns on the

shower. She took off the fluffy robe, and gets into the shower…deliberately ignoring his calls. As Vincent walked into the house boat, he noticed that the cup

of coffee was not sitting on the counter, so he knew she had been up. He also noticed the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and smiled. He walked

into the bathroom to see that she was in the shower. He began to remove his clothing then he let out a giggle as he entered the shower with her.

"Vincent!" Catherine said in a shocked voice, then began to smile.

"What? Can't a guy take a shower?" he said jokingly. "I just wanted to tell you that I love you, and you are so beautiful….especially wet."

He began to kiss Catherine. Then he kissed her even deeper as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her. Vincent wrapped his arms

around Catherine, rubbing her up and down her back, then he broke the kiss long enough to grab her by the back of her thighs and picked her up, pushing her

up against the wall of the shower. Her legs dangled around his back causing her feet to slightly brush his ass, both intensely kissing one another. He slightly

lifted her up, then back down as he slid his huge erection inside her. Both let out a moan, both breathing hard. Vincent then carries her out of the shower and

lays her on the bed, now hovered over this beautiful being that he loved so much. Catherine dug into his back which let him know she wanted more. He began

pounding into her when she moaned his name. "Oh. Vincent!" It sent flames deep down into his stomach causing him to go even faster. His beastly nature

began to come out, but he kept going. He wasn't about to let anything get in the way of him pleasing Catherine. Nothing! As the climax escaped them both,

Vincent's eyes flared. He looked at Catherine, and they both smiled at one another, then Vincent tenderly yet softly kissed Catherine on her lips.

"You okay?" said a winded Vincent.

"I'm fine. And you?" she replied.

"Catherine, as long as you don't leave me I'll be fine."

They kiss again, touching their tongues together, only to be interrupted by Catherine's phone ringing.

I got to take this. It's Tess. "Hello?...Hey Tess, what's up?"

"Cat you need to get over here to Gabe's. I found something. Bring Vincent, I think he can help out too. I have JT here with me." Said Tess, as Sam held a pistol

to her head.

"Okay! We'll be there as soon as I can." replied Catherine. Little did she know that this was only a trap to have her and Vincent killed.

-At Gabe's-

"Nice work. Now if you cooperate I will keep alive….Gabe! Come tie Tess up with bio-dork!" said Sam in an evil tone. Not only did he now have full control over

Gabe's beastly instincts, but he also had JT and Tess as hostages.

"With your help, Catherine and her mangy beast, Vincent, will no longer get in the way. And Gabe will have to live with the fact that he killed them, and you and

JT will have to live with the fact that you helped bring them here to face their death."

Tess exclaimed, "You don't have to do this. We can help you find the justice you deserve. It don't have to be this way."

"Just shut up! You haven't the slightest clue on how I feel!" shouted Sam.

-Back at the House Boat-

Catherine rushed to get her clothes, realizing her clothes were still wet from where she washed them. She threw them into the dryer then looked at Vincent, "I

need something to throw on until I can get to my apartment to get me some clothes. Got anything?"

"Catherine, what's going on?"

"Tess may have found something to tie Sam to this whole mess and she told me to meet her at Gabe's. I have to hurry Vincent."

Vincent grabs some jogging pants and one of his long sleeve shirts, "Will this work?"

"Yeah, hurry, toss them to me."

Catherine rushes to dress then runs downstairs to grab her coat and shoes, while Vincent finishes dressing himself. Vincent then runs down the stairs, still in

question. "What did she find?"

"I don't know Vincent, but whatever it is will hopefully give us what we need to arrest him. Then Gabe can move forward with his life, and…we can move

forward with ours." Vincent loved the sound of that. Moving forward with OUR lives together? He looked at her smiling, showing his dimples.

"What?" said Catherine.

"Your amazing Catherine. I love you!"

"I love you too, Vincent!" Vincent walked closer to her, glaring into her eyes, then he kissed her on her forehead and hugged her tightly.

"We got to go Vincent, time is of the essence here."

"Right. I'll drive."

-Later on after Cat and Vince stop by Catherine's apartment, and arrive at Gabe's-

Sam watched the couple get out of the car. He had been standing in the window waiting for them almost like a spider awaiting for flies to get stuck into its web.

"Ok Gabe, you know what to do! I hate to have to leave before the party begins, but I must departure for I have other business matters to tend to. Have fun

watching your friends die." said Sam, as he walked off while laughing ever so evilly. Gabe could hear Catherine and Vincent getting closer. He began to growl as

they got even more close to his apartment. Catherine walks in to notice that JT and Tess was tied together.

"Oh my god, Tess! JT! What happened?!" she exclaimed. Vincent entered already taken by the form of his beast side which took control when he sensed Gabe's

presence and danger for his friends…danger for his beloved Catherine.

Suddenly, JT yelled at Vincent, "Oh, no! WATCH OUT V!"

Gabe jumped out to attack Vincent from behind, slinging him in the wall. Both beastly men struggled around the apartment while Catherine tried to set JT and

Tess free. Gabe bashed Vincent's head several times into the floor, causing him to go unconscious. JT and Tess ran out, but Gabe had grabbed Catherine

slinging her almost out of a window. She laid there on the floor lifeless as Gabe walked slowly up to her, growling his beastly growl. Then Gabe quickly turned

around to Vincent leaping towards him, grabbing him, and both men flew out of the window. Catherine finally got up to find a broken window. She looked down

to see both men were laying on the ground. She let out a scream, "Vincent!" then went running out of the apartment, and down to his aid.

"Vincent!...Vincent!" she tried to shake him a little….nothing. "Vincent…please! You can't leave me now. I need you. Please, don't go!"….still nothing. She then

placed her finger on his wrist to check for a pulse. Luckily he had one. She then runs over to Gabe and checks his….

JT and Tess ran over to see what had happened. "Oh my god!" said JT.

"It's ok JT, Vincent will be fine." said Catherine.

"I called the police, I'll call for an ambulance too." said Tess.

Catherine's eyes filled with tears…. "Tess…Gabe is dead!"
