No one mentioned what was said or overheard when Aisha and I were drunk in the bedroom. They all just let it go, the guys chalking it up to us being drunk. I was getting out of the shower wrapped in a towel when I opened the door that connected to my bedroom and Jake was laying in the bed watching me.

"Can I help you with something Jake Jensen?" I asked and he smiled.

"Well I was hoping you could come and cuddle with me on the bed,  but seeing as you are naked under the towel, I'm getting other ideas." Jake said and I groaned as I walked over to him and gave him a small kiss.

"I would love to do that and maybe later. I have a job interview to go to. I have to go meet a family who is wanting to hire a home health aide." I said and Jake smiled.

"Shane, that's amazing, why didn't you say anything?" Jake asked and I groaned.

"I didn't want to jinx it. This job seems like its going to be just like it was with Martin and his wife when she was alive. Elderly couple just needing someone to coming in about every other day and check on them." I said and Jake smiled kissing me as I sat at my vanity to do my hair and make-up.

"Well I will let you get dressed..." Jake said and I grabbed his hand as he went to leave.

"Or you could stay and keep me company..." I said and he smiled and jumped back on the bed and I laughed.

"Everyone home?" I asked and Jake sighed.

"Actually that was another reason I came to talk to you." Jake said and I sighed.

"What Jake?" I asked.

"We might be leaving soon." Jake said and I turned to look at him.

"What do you mean leaving?" I asked and Jake sighed

"Leaving. The guy we have been hiding out from and searching for seems to be on the move and we have to go where he goes." Jake said and I groaned. I got up from my vanity and went to my closet without saying anything. "Don't be angry..." Jake said and I just grabbed some black dress slacks and a white button up blouse.

"Oh no see anger would entail a level of understanding the situation and being somewhat okay with it. I'm pissed Jensen!" I said and he groaned since I called him by his last name. I grabbed my clothes and just looked at Jake.

"Since you delivered the message you can leave the room now." I said annoyed and he sighed. He walked out of the room and I got dressed not having much time to think about the news I was just dealt. I finished getting ready and walked downstairs.

"Shaney..." Clay said and I shook my head.

"At least tell me goodbye this time instead of leaving a note saying goodbye like when I was 15." I said walking out of the door and heading to my job interview. When I arrived at the address I walked to the door and knocked. I was so nervous, I hadn't had to interview for a job in a long time and I wasn't sure how this was going to go. Once the door opened I saw a big muscular guy open the door I just looked at him oddly.

"Hi, I'm...-" I started to say.

"Shane right?" He asked and I nodded. He moved aside so I could get inside and once I did something seemed completely off. The house was void of furniture, of anything just me and this guy.

"Um...I think there has been some kind of miss understanding...." I trailed off and he walked up to me and saw the necklace I was wearing.

"Actually not." I heard a voice say as he came out from around a corner. When I turned to see who it was the guy who opened the door grabbed me so I couldn't move. I saw Max standing there.

"She wore the necklace...we will have all the intel we need." The guy holding me said and Wade walked up to me and yanked the necklace off.

"You know sweetie for you father being Colonel Clay you should really know to not trust too many people in your life. Your mother was too trusting and thats why she had to be killed." Max said and I just looked at him.

"You killed my mother?" I asked and he smirked.

"Of course I killed your mother. I wanted information on your father and his team. She said she didn't know anything and refused to give me what I wanted so I cut the break line in her car...well I didn't Wade did but you get my point." Max said and I then realized Wade who was had a hold of me.

"Take her to the chair." Max said and Wade picked me up and I started kicking trying to get down. Once I was in the chair I was smacked by Max.

"Stop!" Max said as I was tied to the chair.

"Fine, you want to kill me just do it. It wont fucking matter. You think anyone is coming for me?" I asked and he laughed.

"Sweetie, come from the intel I have gotten off of this necklace with the microchip I implanted in it. That whole team will come for you. You have most of them wrapped around your finger and then Jake Jensen has you wrapped around him. I mean even that shocked me but I mean I see it." Max said and I my blood was boiling.

"Listen, you have what you want. You have the necklace. Like I said just kill me. I don't care anymore." I said and Max shook his head.

"I thought you would really give me a bigger fight honestly. This is disappointing." Max said and that was the last thing I remembered since Wade hit me in the back of the head with the butt of a gun.

*****CLAY POV*****

"The interview shouldn't be taking this long. I don't like that she left upset and now we cant get ahold of her." I said and everyone. Shane had been gone for about 4 hours.

"She is upset, you let Jake drop a bomb on her with no work up." Aisha said and I groaned.

"Yeah way to work her up to it Jensen." I said and he groaned.

"Listen I wasn't going to drag it out with her, rip off the band aid." Jake said.

"Well now what do we do? He phone is off, no way to track her and I just want to talk to her." I said. After a few minutes of silence Jake's cellphone rang and he answered quickly and then handed the phone to Clay.

"It's Max." Jake said.
