Francesca's point of view

As I sat on the couch with my legs crossed I watched as people came in and out of my home doing their best to change the locks. But that's not why I was smiling ear to ear right now and it wasn't because I was also watching Beverly pace back-and-forth in the corner on the phone.

"I understand that you want a date but I told you I was thinking about it." I held my phone with my ear and shoulder as I looked down at my still bruised hand. "How much thinking are you doing Francesca?" He was cocky with it as well.

"Well a date isn't the first thing on my mind right now, Reid." I heard him chuckle on the other side of my phone so lightly. "Like what? Work that you can't even partake in because of your hand?"

"It's not funny, I could be saving a life right now." I tried to ball up my first and I did but the pain wasn't gone. He went to say something but got interrupted before it went silent. "Hello?" I questioned the silence.

"Sorry someone was calling don't worry." He reassured. "Call me another time then." I wanted to go check on Beverly anyways. "So you can cancel on me?"

"You know, you didn't lose the bet yet, not until midnight." He laughed again but before he could respond he was interrupted once again. "Someone needs you so hang up." I said standing up because they were done with the locks. "I need you."

"Goodbye Reid." I said through a ear to ear smile. I walked to the front door and paid the men in cash as they gave me my new keys. "I'm not saying goodbye." He went on to continue but I'm certain his phone rang for a third time. "Fine midnight."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I closed the front door and leaned on it. "Liar." He's right I'd probably miss it for absolutely anything else, but I hung up with out another word just in time as Beverly walked over to me. "Well love looks like my stay comes to an end." She stated and I frowned as I handed her one of the keys. "Work?" I questioned.

"Yes they need a replacement model for tomorrow afternoon so I leave tonight." Though it was hard being the only one out of Beverly, Giovanni and I to work here I understood their reasons and respected them. I pulled her in for a tight hug and kisses her cheek. "You want help for packing." I asked with my arms still around her tight. "Fuck me, I thought you'd never ask." She let out a sigh of relief and I laughed is both knowing she is the absolute worst at packing bags for trips.

"I know love." We pulled away from the hug and held my hand as we went up to her room. Gave us the opportunity to try the new locks and of course their perfect.

Kings point of view

"You summoned me?" Reid's voice came through finally as I sat back in my seat. "Who's throat were you shoving your dick so far down that you couldn't answer the first time I called?" As always he laughed because he thinks everything is funny. "Oh brother you know I don't keep names."

"You know genuinely if you weren't my brother I think I'd hate you?" I said in all honesty. "You can't hate this beautiful face, King." I forced a laugh as I picked up a ball from my desk and threw it in the air just to catch. "You call that pigs ass a face?"

"You can't talk shit about my face without talking shit about your own face... twin." I rolled my eyes and threw the ball again. "Fraternal not Identical dumbass." I corrected him. "Anyways like I said, you summoned me for what?" I took a deep breath and threw the ball and caught it once again before speaking. "Do you remember Halston Adams by chance?"

"Fuck yeah that was my first time committing arson." I stopped throwing the ball and set it on my desk again. "You can't commit arson if your not the one who blew the shit but anyways, dad thinks Halston is alive or at least has a copycat." I explained.

"Impossible, I blew up the place myself." He said with a strong and confident scoff at the end of his sentence. "No, no you didn't I did." I rolled my eyes. "Can a man dream?" He shot back immediately.

"Shut the fuck up please. I called because before I'm home in two days I want you to find out if it's a copycat. You'll know by questioning your close men and women Reid." I made sure to emphasize on the and. "Because only close workers even knew about Halstons existence." I concluded.

"There was no reason to emphasize on your 'and' it's not Gabby." He made sure of it. "Well I don't trust her like you do Reid still question her please."

"How did you guys even come up with this outrageous claim of him still breathing?" I placed my elbow to my desk and my hand underneath my jaw. "Someones been breaking and entering in Francesca's home. That doctor."

"Merda." I heard him whisper to himself. "I tuoi pantaloni?" I asked sarcastically. "Your not funny. And I'll question them alright?"

"Thank you that's all I ask." He sighed before continuing. "Okay stay safe and have a good day." "Same to you and don't fucking kill your self."
