"For the last couple of weeks Hyperions heights hasn't been a safe place to be in. The town has been under attack from a killer running lose killing people with unusual tattoo markings. So far only three people have been found dead with these markings, one woman happen to be a doctor who was found dead in her office ." An officer said in the briefing room to the detectives.

Sitting in the back of the briefing room Weaver listened to every detail. He knew this case wasn't a normal one. In fact he knew the people being targeted were connected to coven. Looking a the pictures that were taken from the scenes he recognise the weird tattoo markings on the victims. As other detective talked about the case being another cult violence Weaver knew this about some attacking witches. Taking down the evidence in front of him weaver noticed Rogers coming over to join him were he was sitting.

Weaver wasn't ready to let the young detective in on what really was going on in this town. the curse was still strong and last thing he need was the man's confusion. " What do you want Rogers?" Weaver said not even bothering to look at the man.

" I was hoping you might have a lead on this case since you know this town inside out." Rogers said taking a seat. " I know you are familiar with these markings these victims have."

Not wanting to answer the question Weaver quickly shut the man down. " If you think I'm going to work on this case with you then your wrong detective. Now if you excuse me."

Knowing magic was involved weaver couldn't risk having Rogers working with him right now. This case he had to do alone and he already had a couple of candidates in mind.

Back in his office Samedi had been working hard to get all his paperwork done. For the last couple of days he had been busy to no end with meetings and paperwork that seem to never end. Since Victoria was gone a lot of doors for his business had open. Other companies had been interested in his new plans for Hyperion Heights which was great but it also meant contactless hours behind his desk taking and making calls.

Samedi had also been successful on putting his plan in motion for getting the dagger. Using Drew or Prince Naveen in over terms Samedi had found out about Gothel's coven true plan and their desire for the power of the dagger too. He need Gothel and her minions out of the picture. Luckily for him he knew just who wake. Nick Branson.

Since the day he manage to get extra magic from the Guardian Anastasia Samedi had been waiting for the right time to use such magic. However whatever Gothel had plan was now at a stand still and he could finally get a chance on getting the dagger.

With the help of Drew he manage to get hair DNA from Nick to create a voodoo doll and with a couple of words from a spell book the witch hunter Nick was awake and ready to kill. Everything seem to be running smoothly so far.

Looking out his window behind him Baron realised how late it was. He never seem to notice anymore as the hours flew by when he was busy working like a mad dog. However the one thing he seemed to noticed was how much he missed Regina. He hadn't been able to spend much time with her due to working late and her hours at the bar. However he often looked forward to their daily calls as he loved listening to her soft warm voice. Just hearing her talk through the phone made his heart skip a beat. "Just a couple more days and it all be over and done with." Samedi said to himself as went back to working on his last few papers.

Focused on finishing his papers for the night Samedi didn't notice someone entering through his office.

" I hope I'm not interrupting."

Hearing the familiar warm voice Samedi looked up with surprise to see Regina standing in front of his desk. Seeing her in front of him looking gorgeous as ever Samedi couldn't help but form a smile. " Not at all." Baron said smoothly as he put down his pen to pay full attention to his Queen.

Dressed in a grey t-shirt, high waist jeans with her iconic black leather jacket and black skull patterned scarf tied around her soft neck , Samedi couldn't take his eyes off her. Her brown curly hair framed her face elegantly and her rosy coloured lips had him captivated. She was stunning woman.

Taking a seat in front of his desk Regina made herself comfortable. Removing her leather jacket and her bag from her shoulder, Samedi offered her a drink. " Some Brandy my Queen?"

" Yes that would be great."

Pouring them both a glass of cool Brandy Samedi noticed something was bothering her as she wasn't normally so quiet with him.

" What do I owe the wonderful surprise of your visit?" Samedi said handing her drink. Regina sighed as she took a sip from her glass.

" I wanted to talk to you in person. It's been awhile since the last time we spoke face to face."

" Is someone missing me already?" Samedi said softly as he watched her blush slightly.

" For a matter of fact I have." Regina had been so stressed out from work and the curse. Seeing him she thought that it would relieve her worries however her mind drifted off to more issues. She just wanted a timeout from everything. Even being with Samedi was complicated. She knew he was still on the path of revenge for his mother and now his ex was in the mix. Taking another sip from her glass, stress written all over her face. "I've been thinking lately. About us."

Taking a seat on his office chair Samedi looked toward Regina with concern. " What about us?" Alarm bells began ring into his head. Having a serious talk with Regina seem to put him on edge. Looking at Regina he could see the level of stress she was in which made him nervous.

Taking a deep breath Regina explained. " I think maybe it would be best that we stay apart." Regina could feel her heart breaking she didn't want to do this but what was going on right now she just had too. " I need to focus on my son and my family. I can't have any more distractions." Regina whispered the last part. She knew this was the right thing to do. Henry, her son had to come first and he needed her most right now.

Samedi was kind of taken aback . This wasn't what he expected at all. " Distractions? Regina please I can help you find a way to save your son and your family." Samedi said trying to reason with his love. Regina however only shook her head with disagreement.

" No Samedi, we both have problems in our lives that we need to sort. You and Tiffany have things to discuss and I need to fully focus on Henry my son." Regina sighed as she knew this wasn't going to be as smooth sailing as she had thought.

" Regina my Love it doesn't have to be like this, Please let me help you." Samedi said. Getting up from his seat Samedi made his way to Regina, taking her soft hands into his own. Regina really did mean everything to him and for her to push him away like this terrified him. Looking deep into her chocolate brown eyes Samedi pled once again. However to his dismay Regina didn't change her mind.

" If you truly want help me Samedi.. let me go." Taking in a deep shaky breath Regina rose from her seat and pulled her hands gently from Samedi's. Picking up her belongs Regina made her way to the door but before she left she turned around once more to look at the man she loved. It broke her heart as she could see agony in his eyes but Regina knew this was the right thing to do. Her baby boy came first and that was that. Without another word and holding back her tears Regina turned and left.

It was coming up to midnight when Regina returned to the bar. She was tired mentally and physically and the only thing she wanted to do at that moment was to drown her sorrow in some whisky and fall into deep sleep of numbness. Opening the her front door however Regina was met by Weaver standing behind her bar. Shocked at sudden appearance of the man in her bar Regina quickly closed door, placing a hand over her chest as she tried settle her racing heart.

" What the Hell Weaver do you have any idea what time it is?!"

" We need to talk and it's important." Weaver wasted no time on getting to business. Pulling two sheets of paper from his coat pocket, Weaver handed to her. The papers contain pictures and information about woman who had been murdered within the hospital. Looking at the paper with confusion Regina return the papers back to him.

"why are showing me this?"

" Because there is a killer on the loose."

" So you've come here to warn me, how sweet." Regina said sarcastically. "Don't worry I can handle myself."

" Look closer at the woman's wrist. Does the tattoo look familiar." Weaver handed Regina the paper again and Regina took a close look but she did her eyes grew wider.

" Coven of the Eight!" Regina said as looked back at Weaver to explain farther. " There here in Hyperion Heights?!"

Weaver only nodded as he took a seat at the bar. It was clear these witches were from the coven of the eight and He and Regina had long discussion in front of them. Afterall Weaver already had an idea who the mysterious killer could be. the only problem was Would Regina believe him.
