15 minutes later Kristen came racing downstairs in a flash of lightening.

Bobby was eating some of the food they had brought to the station.

Russ Granger was talking to Lori Grayson the new member of the unit.

Monica Harper saw Kristen coming downstairs in a flash of lightening-racing towards the entrance of the station. "Russ! You might want to stop your niece from leaving the station"answered monica pointing towards the doorway.

Russ Granger turned just in time to see Kristen almost banging into T:C and Chris from bike duty.

Kristen didn't even realize she had almost banged right into Chris, Cory and T:C who were returning from bike duty. Raced down the stairs in a flash of lightening-after getting a message from the task force-was needed for something important.

Russ Granger raced out of the door in a flash lightening. "Kristen! Wait a minute where are you going off too? Your supposed to take it easy"shouted Russ racing after his niece-who had taken off-her bike in a flash of lightening.

T:C Callaway frozed in his spots he turns sightly towards Russ Granger and Bobby Cruz who came out holding onto a sandwich. "Is there a reason why you brought my daughter to the station?"asked T:C hoping on his bike again.

"Kristen signed to us she wanted to see you,drop some things off in the break room"answered Bobby.

"Great! Now we have to find Kristen"answered Monica.

Lori Grayson had just gotten off her cell-phone turns towards the police officers in the face. "We should take the jeep-I know where Kristen is headed off too"answered Lori holding out some keys.

(3 hours later) at the NCIS Headquarters since that's where the task force-main headquarters was.

Both Erin and Ashley had just gotten out of the hospital were taking it easy-because of their injuires they had gotten on the rescue mission. Both of them wanted to see Kristen if possible so they had Amelia text Kristen on the phone.

15 minutes later Kristen came racing into the headquarters. "What's so important?"asked Kristen racing into the headquarters.

Erin and Ashley waved their hands out towards Kristen who frozed in her spots.

Kristen looks at her two friends who helped protect her in Hawaii for 4 years. "When did you get out of the hospital?"asked Kristen sitting down on the chair.

"Three days ago, we have orders to take it easy"answered Erin who is drinking some water.

"Kristen! We have something you need to know about your dad"answered Ashley getting up from where she was sitting.

Kristen confused at the moment. "I don't understand, which dad are you talking about? I only have two dads-one who is died in the line of duty one being in Hawaii"answered Kristen looking confused at the moment.

(3 hours later)

Kristen came back towards Santa Monica Station after finding out information she didn't know about her background. Walked into the police station, police officers looking up.

Chris Kelly,Cory, Monica and Bobby glaring up in what they were doing.

"Kristen! Lt. Callaway, Officer Granger and Lori Grayson aren't here, they went looking for you"answered monica.

Kristen looks at Cory and Chris in the face. "I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore,the nightmares and flashbacks of my past"answered Kristen.

(Bobby calls Russ Granger on his cell-phone) letting him know that Kristen was back in Santa Monica.

(15 minutes at the headquarters)

Ashley and Erin looked up when Lt. Callaway,Russ and Lori came into the headquarters.

"Where's my niece?"asked Russ who wants to know.

"You just missed Kristen she was headed back to Santa Monica two hours ago"answered Ashley.

(Russ hangs up his cell-phone) Lt. Callaway that was bobby to inform us that kristen is back in Santa Monica right now at the station.

Lori Grayson said she would get a ride back to Santa Monica later during the week.

(Kristen could hear voices coming from downstairs)

Lt. T:C Callaway, Russ Granger, Cory McNamera and Chris Kelly were standing there talking among each other. It was Chris who gotten a little bit more information out of Kristen.

Kristen was wearing a towel around her form."Is there something I can help you officers?"asked Kristen.

Cory McNamera looked at Lt. Terrance Callaway in the face. "Lt. Callaway go home, Officer Chris Kelly and I can hold down the fort. Besides maybe kristen will tell you about the nightmares she's been getting lately"whispered Cory.

T:C nods his head-saying he's going to change out of his uniform.

Kristen slowly walks back towards the front entrance of the station..

"Kristen! Hold it right there"answered Monica standing up.

Kristen looks at Officer harper in the face. "Do you want something?"asked Kristen.

"Where are you going?"asked Monica.

Kristen looks at Monica in the face.

Russ and Bobby looking over to Monica standing by the doorway of the station.

Kristen at first doesn't say anything, looks at her cell-phone which rings."Hello!"answered Kristen.

T:C comes from upstairs-sees the paper bag that was left on his desk. Noticed there was a sandwich,orange juice,pear and cheese to eat inside the bag. Grabbed the bag in his hands walked down the stairs.

Noticed at once that Kristen wasn't in site, he turns towards the officers standing there. "Where's Kristen?"asked T:C who was worried in not seeing his daughter in the station.

Monica points towards the doorway of the station.

Kristen was listening to someone on the cell-phone.

T:C said he was going to get changed then he and Russ can leave.

(That part didn't actually go as plan) since Kristen hanged up the phone-walked outside of the station.

"Kristen! Wait a minute you can't just leave without telling anyone"shouted Monica.

T:C and Russ racing outside of the station in a flash of lightening,still in his police uniform.

Cory,Chris,Jamie,Monica and Bobby saw Kristen racing away on her bike.

"Kristen! Get back here"shouted Cory.

(Kristen was back at the house) going through one of the rooms-that was locked up. Knowing that no one knew about the secret hidden rooms inside the mansion-her father had built.

Sits down after finding some pictures of her dad and stepmom-who had adopted her. Afer looking at the pictures in her hand,she put the others away and locked the doorway to the room.

Walked down to the whirl pool on the property-sitting down on the edge of the pool.
