Lord, I pray you for resting those wonderful souls. Please heal others and bless our friends from the force. In your hands, I will be praying for those fallen souls every day. Except for Jane Rizzoli, my stubborn child. Please watch over this child wherever she goes with your touching hands. Thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
They met halfway outside of the city. It was the abandoned factory near the Brighton area and the Charles River. Elizabeth nodded at Colin when they got out of the car. She arranged the trip to see Paddy Doyle, but it would take them for a few hours the drive. Colin gathered their bags to load in the black SUV, which hid inside the abandoned warehouse. Elizabeth was watching for the intruders and sent others to follow Colin back inside the warehouse.
Jane and Maura were surprised that there was an SUV parking. Frost and Korsak took a look around in the warehouse before following the ladies behind. Colin moved the bags in the trunk before speaking up.
"This SUV is our haven. No one recognizes this license except the ones at the top. Eliśabeth is cleaning up in your cars since we arrived here. She wanted to make sure our presences are undetected in the car before we leave here."
"What's going on?" Korsak asked before glancing at Jane. Frost was perplexed.
"This is our trip to see him without someone following us. Don't worry." Elizabeth entered the warehouse before nodding at Colin to take over for a drive. She indicted them for getting in before flicking a flame on the gasoline leak near the trash. Others didn't see it when they came in, but Elizabeth settled up everything before it all started.
The flame started to get larger in the background as the SUV started to wheel away. Frost saw it on the back window of the trunk and watched it burning the building. He heard Maura's yelp and followed her gaze of point to their cars outside.
"That's my car! You burned it!"
"Sorry, Maura. I had to do it because of the scents. You can buy another one when you can come back." Elizabeth murmured before rolling her eyes at Colin, who chuckled. Jane was opening her jaw when she saw the scene of the cars burning with the fires. Korsak widened his eyes too.
The sight of the abandoned warehouse and cars were smaller and smaller when the SUV drove away. It was still a night. Korsak and Frost sat in the backseat. Maura and Jane were in the middle seat. Elizabeth was on her passenger seat and navigating the map to get there without detecting them on the spot. Colin was carefully watching and listening to the sounds when he was driving.
One hour later, Jane looked through the window and wondered about the evidence in the safe place where they cannot be found. Maura closed her eyes for a nap. Frost and Korsak whispered to each other about the finding of every proof that they could find. Elizabeth tapped on her telepathic mind through Colin, and she didn't want everyone to listen to their conversation.
'Do you think Maura is ready to meet her father?'
'To be honest, Paddy is excited to see her. We've been spoken for a few minutes before you asked me to gather them for their trip back there.'
'But does Maura know that her biological mother is alive, Colin?'
'Eliśabeth, neither does she. Dr. Martin thought her baby died.'
'That's fucked up.'
'I know. We have to wait and see what happened. Eliśabeth, do you think someone is following us?'
'I think so not. I alerted our watchers. They haven't responded, but one did. Veronica is with Dr. Arthur Isles right now. They are safe. But Constance, I have not idea about her.'
'When we arrive at our destination, may I have your permission to see Constance if she is safe?'
'You may but ask your father too.'
'Yes, Eliśabeth.'
Elizabeth looked in the rear mirror and watched them for a few minutes before catching Jane's eye. The brunette detective felt a gaze and tilted her head to look at her. Jane cleared her throat and leaned forward to whisper in a quiet voice, so Frost, Korsak, and Maura didn't hear her.
"Elizabeth, what happened to the timeline that we left behind in the bullpen?"
"I erased it and burned it with gasoline. Don't worry, and I have it in my memory. I will draw it up when we arrange our case.'
"Do you think that your boss will help us?" Jane spoke up before looking at Elizabeth. Colin peeked his eye at them before paying attention to the road. They were one hour away on the west from the Brighton area.
"Yes, Jane, he will," Colin replied. Jane looked at him for a minute before giving a nod of approval. Elizabeth sent him a grateful look. Not long before Jane questioned, Frost opened the conversation to join them.
"How long will we arrive there, Colin?"
"One or two hours at the top. Do you need anything?"
"Yes, can we stop by to use the restroom and get something to eat?"
"Oh, I forgot about you humans. Forgive me." Elizabeth forgot that they were humans but not vampires like her and Colin. She gave the nod to Colin to pull over at the gas station on the next exit. Colin hummed. Jane twisted her head by raising her eyebrow at Frost. Korsak snickered when he caught them. Frost shrugged and voiced.
"I'm hungry since Lunch."
"Frost, it's late," Korsak said.
"So? It is a midnight snack. We've pulled the night duty off since the cases built up, and those guys gathered us to whatever we are going." Frost is indicted with his point. Jane agreed with him before feeling her stomach grumbling. Maura was still closing her eyes for a few minutes. Colin pulled over at the gas station, which was creepy.
The gas station was bleak but quiet. The dimmed lamps above the sign of the gas station were still flickering. Elizabeth checked out the surroundings before giving them a few minutes to use the restroom and purchasing some food. Frost went to the bathroom. Colin checked on the gas gauge before getting some extra gas. Korsak and Jane went to look at the meals that were already cooked.
There were hot dogs, fries, nachos, chips, and some drinks. Frost was done with his restroom and met his guys. He grabbed the large nachos pack by opening it and chucking on the box. By his left side, there was the cheese sauce, chili, and toppings. Frost chose extra cheese sauce with green onions and jalapenos peppers before he went to get his large drink. He did get a large soup can by getting the chili with cheese on top.
Jane chose the Cheetos and Monster drinks for herself but gathered the healthy potato chips and some water bottles for Maura. She knew that Maura liked them a lot when she bought them on their road trips. Korsak was determined with his choice of hot dogs with ketchup on top and large fries. His drink was orange juice,, but he went ahead to get two of them.
Elizabeth watched them from outside and waited for Colin to be done with filling the gas. Others came out with their hands after purchasing their food and drink. Korsak and Frost got in. Jane nodded at Elizabeth.
"We are done with our food, so we can eat inside while we are on the road."
"Good. We can go now." Elizabeth nodded at Colin before trading the places. It was her turn to drive. Colin would take a short nap before starting to arrange everything when they arrive at the destination.
The silence took over in the SUV as Elizabeth drove all way. They ate their late dinner and decided to take some sleep. Colin woke up and went to work on his navigating from his watchers. It was nearly 3 o'clock in the morning and sunrise would go up soon anytime by 7am. Elizabeth wanted to arrive there before the sunrise.
If the sunrise was already up, it would be easy for the intruders to find them immediately. But the dark gives some difficulty to search for them. Elizabeth knew that pure vampires could use the advantages of using the half-vampires if they could find them locally. The half-vampires can alter to the human abilities if it is necessary like Maura does. Elizabeth was fully sure that Maura would self-discover herself when she is there.
Elizabeth interrupted Colin's doing and tilted her head to him. Colin slowly looked up at her for a minute before making sure others were asleep. He sighed before giving a nod of approval. Elizabeth glanced at the rear window before prying on the road for a minute.
"Colin, did you hear anything from them yet?"
"No, Eliśabeth. I assume that we are closer to the area, don't we?"
"Yes, pass a message to them before we arrive. We need their help."
"Sure, Eliśabeth." Colin nodded before using the telepathic equipment to connect toward the tech gurus back in the Resistance's base area. Elizabeth exhaled slowly before taking her surroundings in the forest. She drove on the gravel driveway which is an abandoned path to the base area.
Colin tapped his mind through the message and navigated their arrival to the base area. He pointed to the wire fence on Elizabeth's left. The SUV halted by pulling over. Elizabeth got off from the driver's seat and took the surroundings in the forest. The watcher came upon her by her front.
"Sister Winifred," Elizabeth spoke up with a smile. The older woman in a white collared shirt and black dress nodded at her.
"Eliśabeth. You may drive in. No one around here is coming. I promise you."
"Good, you need to come with us. Colin just informed me that you are required. Send someone to take over your shift." Elizabeth explained before nodding toward the SUV. Sister Winifred glanced over at them with a nod and turned around to pass the message to the watcher locally. Elizabeth returned to her driver's seat and nodded at Colin.
"Sister Winifred is coming with us. Close the fence behind you." Colin nodded before getting off from the SUV and Sister Winifred took his place by sitting on the passenger's seat. They drove away. Colin pulled the fence to close it and sent a message to lock it up. The watcher nodded at him before hiding itself in the forest to take over the duty. Colin sped up to catch up with them in the front.
Elizabeth stopped by the abandoned tunnel that was used for the military base. She nodded at the watcher who stood by checking on them. The watcher tilted its head to see others in the back and gestured her to hide the vehicle which is halfway in the tunnel. Elizabeth drove to the middle of the tunnel and turned left to enter the big door. It was a perfect time when others woke up from their sleep.
Frost stretched out and took his surroundings. Korsak wiped his drool and blinked rapidly. Jane and Maura were cuddled together. Sister Winifred took a look at them with a smile and voiced loudly.
"Jane Clementine Rizzoli, wake up!" It banged Jane to wake up and be alert. Maura groaned when Jane almost hit her chin up with her head. Elizabeth snickered before parking the SUV. Frost and Korsak were perplexed with the surroundings. Jane shook her head before looking at the watcher in front of her and yelped.
"Sister Winifred!"
"Hello. Get out." Sister Winifred nodded before taking off from her seat. Others raised their eyebrows before following her lead. Elizabeth threw the keys to the watcher who stood by her side and mumbled under her breath.
"Burn it before they catch you."
"Yes, Eliśabeth." The watcher nodded before taking an SUV off from the parking lot. Others already had their bags on their hands. Sister Winifred tilted her head to take a lead. Elizabeth smiled at them before Colin appeared up. They followed them along to the door which was a long narrow hallway. Jane tilted her head at Elizabeth and spoke in a whisper.
"How did Sister Winifred get here?"
"I hear you, Jane. I'm a watcher for the Resistance."
"But..." Jane stuttered before Sister Winifred looked at her with her slit eyes. Elizabeth snickered before speaking up.
"Sister Winifred is generous with us. Well, the vampires specifically. She believes that she could help us in some ways. I know that she is crucified by Jesus Christ which the vampires didn't believe at some point. But, Sister Winifred knew Patrick Doyle very well."
"How so?" Maura asked for the first time since she took silence for so long.
"Patrick and I have an agreement between us. Don't ask. Let's get along. They are waiting for your arrival." Sister Winifred smiled at the honey-blonde doctor before pressing the code on the electronic device. The door gave a groan and the air blew rapidly out from the door when it was opening. Sister Winifred gestured for them to get in. Colin was behind them.
Jane, Maura, Korsak, and Frost stepped in on the ground floor. They slowly looked up to the rest of the floors above them. It was an abandoned warehouse that is underground. The men left their jaws open at the sparring area where the vampires fought each other for their practices. Jane and Maura took their surroundings slowly. Sister Winifred smiled at them before noticing the approach from the others. It happened to be Patrick Doyle.
"Hello, Maura Dorthea Isles." It took them to pay attention to the man who stood in front of them. Maura was surprised that she finally met her biological father in the flesh. Colin was standing by him and stayed quiet. Others went bewildering but the silence took over for a while.
