That review meant so much, thank you so much. That is exactly what I wanted, for the characters to come across like themselves. I wanted to take a far fetched idea, and make it as realistic as possible. I want to show that no matter the situation they are in, Clare and Eli are just inevitable. As for Second Chances, no promises but I might have a chapter up for it tonight. I have been twiddling with the idea for a new story as well, so my mind is on 283839 different things. Well anyways, here ya go :-)

"What the hell is going on in here! Yall gonna wake everyone up man!"

Vince was standing in front of Eli and I with tired eyes, I looked to Eli waiting for him to rat me out. When he didn't say anything something in my mind snapped, I had to get it out, the truth. Vince was the reason I came here after all, the reason I joined the FBI. "Vince there is something you need to know, right now."

Eli looked at me frantically, "What Clare means is she's tired and doesn't know what she's saying, just go back to bed Vince."

I walked closer to Vince, staring at him for the first time as myself, as Clare Edwards, sister of a dead brother. Vince looked at me confused, waiting for me to say something, so I did. "You took everything from me that mattered."

Vince scratched his head, "Lil C, you must be tired. What are you talkin bout?"

My voice was almost a whisper, "You killed my brother Vince, you killed him like he was an animal. The man who's life you took a year ago, I am his sister."

Vince looked like he saw a ghost, he took a step away from me shaking his head, barley uttering one word. "No."

"Yes Vince, that's me. I'm an FBI agent. My whole purpose of being here is to take you all down, put you away for life. I had even planned to kill you. My box's of clothes, are actually boxs of wires, and cameras and guns."

Vince kept shaking his head, "How could you? Clare we all loved you, we trusted you! I didn't mean to kill him, man I didn't!"

"Don't worry Vince I'm not going to send any of you away, because I've grown to love you guys too." Tears were streaming down my face again. "And I hate it! I hate you for taking him from me, and then making me care about you! I'm in this whole mess because you chose to recklessly use a gun, do you know the pain I went through? I had no one left but him, you left me all alone Vince. All alone. And for the first time here with all of you I've felt safe and like I had a real family again, but Its all wrong because your gang is the reason he's gone."

Vince took a step towards me reaching his hand out to comfort me, but Eli stepped between us. "Vince, I think it's best you go back to bed. I'll take care of Clare, ok. I know this subject is hard for you to talk about."

"Did you know the whole time Eli?" Vince stared at him with hard eyes.

"No, I just found out. You know I wouldn't have deceived you all like this."

Vince pushed Eli aside, "Clare Eli is right when he says this subject is hard for me to talk about, I have nightmares man. I swear I done cried myself to sleep bout this man! I never meant to kill him, I ain't never killed no man before! I'm sorry, please forgive me! I love you Lil C, to know I hurt you is making this so much harder."

I rapidly blinked trying to clear my eyes of the tears, "Vince I forgave you a long time ago, what I can't do is forgive myself for forgiving you."

All at once Sean, Emma, and Zig came out asking what was going on. Again Eli looked at me with scared eyes, he didn't want me to tell them. He was scared for me, because he still loved me. That was enough for me, that was enough for me to walk away in one piece, without falling apart.

Sean rubbed his eyes, "What the hell guys? What's going on? Clare where did you go tonight, we were worried."

i laughed ironically, "You don't have to worry about me, trust me. I could take out all down with one finger. I'm Clare Edwards, FBI agent. I pulled out my badge. I'm a traitor and a liar. You can shoot me if you want, do whatever it is you have to do."

Eli quickly ran to my side, standing in front of me. "No, one is going to shoot you Clare. No one." He stared at Sean, his face warning him not to hurt me.

Sean's eyes became wide, and he pulled out a gun from the back of his pants. "I trusted you, I brought you in, I made sure you were taken care of. This is how you repay me?" Sean was pointing the gun my direction with a shaky hand."

Emma put her hand on his shoulder, "Sean it isn't worth it. Baby stop."

Zig looked at me frowning, "I don't say much Clare, you know that, but screw you. You were supposed to be our sister." In normal Zig fashion, he left back to his room. Zigs words hurt more than Sean pointing a gun at me.

Eli walked closer to Sean, "Put it down, I can't let you hurt her. Just let her go, please. Brother to brother, what if it was Emma?"

Sean laughed, "Dont compare them, Emma would never betray any of us. Clare knows too much, she's in the fucking FBI Eli, what do expect me to do?"

"I expect you to trust me when I say that Clare isn't going to rat any of us out for anything." Eli turned his head back around to look at me. "Shes going to leave us alone, and never speak of her time here with anyone."

Sean lowered the gun, "and why exactly are you going to do that Clare? Why should I trust that?"

"Sean, I love you all. I'm so sorry, sorry that I betrayed you guys. Vince killed my brother, and my mind was clouded with revenge. I hope you can understand why I did this, why I felt I had to send you all away." My voice cracked on the last words.

"Go. Get out of here, and don't come back! Now!"

i glanced at Eli one last time and I ran out of the house, alone again. I pulled out my phone and called Matt.

"Hello, is everything ok Clare?"

"I quit. I love you, and I loved my brother, but I quit. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"I'm truly sorry to hear that, I'm disappointed in you. What will you do now?"

"I don't know." I hung up the phone, free for the first time in so long. I was free from the FBI, free from the gang, and free from revenge.
