Return To Me

Making Plans

 Across town Seth sat at his desk, he was supposed to be working. Instead he was starring at pictures of two people he knew very well. The first picture was of Paige, he couldn't help, but smile whenever he thought of her. She was beautiful, tough, strong, smart and wasn't afraid to tell the truth! She was also the woman Seth cared deeply...no, loved! Seth had known about her because of the case, but he had met her when Roman and Dean had run off together. She had come to him for help finding them. During their time together they became close and made love. He truly thought they had a chance at love, he was wrong though! When they had found Dean and Roman, Paige went back to The Authority; despite her caring deeply for Seth too, to keep him safe! There wasn't a day that went by that Seth didn't think of her and wish they were back together, it ripped him apart inside! Even though he loved her, Seth kept them a secret from Roman; he wanted to wait for the right moment before he said anything.

 The second picture in front of him was Dean's, a man Seth had despised from the moment he met him. Without even knowing anything about him, Seth hated him all because he was part of The Authority, which made him part of the problem! When he found out that Roman and Dean were together and in love, Seth truly believed Dean's love was a lie. He was only using Roman to get what he wanted, then he'd throw Roman away. Seth constantly reminded Roman about Dean being a criminal, and how he would only hurt him. It wasn't until Paige came to him and defended Dean, that Seth finally learned the truth about him. Seth knew he had been completely wrong about everything!

 Seth vowed that the four of them would get their happily ever after, he just needed to think of a way to catch the two of them together. He had no idea what to do, they both were professional criminals, who knew how to stay hidden! Part of Seth wanted to put out warrants for their arrest. Then once he had them he'd take them back to the hotel and the four of them would never be apart again! The other part of him; the logical part knew that would be a huge mistake! He needed to think of a better plan, one that wouldn't get the four of them; especially Dean and Paige into trouble!

**Two Weeks Later**:

 As the days passed, Paige began to worry about Dean, he seemed to pull away from her, refusing to talk about Roman anymore! He threw himself into Authority buisness, his attitude changed he became someone he wasn't! He became reckless, taking stupid risks; risks the old Dean would never take. Worst of all he began to drink heavily to drown the memories of Roman! She was scared something would happen to him, he could get arrested, hurt or...killed!

 She had no one to talk to, and it made her miss Seth more than she already did! She loved Seth, but after Dean broke up with Roman to keep him safe, she knew she had to do the same to keep Seth safe too. She wasn't going to give up though, somehow she was going to make sure the four of them got their chance at love!

**With Seth**:

 He starred at Paige and Dean's pictures for the 100th time that week. He knew that they could never live a normal life if Paige and Dean were known criminals. He needed to change that, but how? Before he could think of an answer though Ford walked in and sat down. Seth quickly closed the file and hid it in his desk before Ford could see anything.

 "I think that old lady's lead might be useful after all!" Ford said, as he finally looked at Seth.

 "Really?" Seth asked biting his tongue, he hated Ford!

 "Yep, the car she saw comes back to a known associate of Helmsley; Carter Brooks, a well known drug dealer. He's been arrested a few times, nothing recent though." Ford explained.

  "So, we put some heat on Brooks and he might give us what we want!" Seth said, as Ford nodded.

  "Think you can handle that, while I speak to Agent Reigns?"

  "I think so." Seth answered sarcastically, but like usual sarcasim was lost on Ford. "Since you brought it up, I was wondering if you've talked to the heads of the buerau yet? Filled them in on the case or sent them copies of the files?"

  "Not yet, I wanted to do a little more work on Agent Reigns' case before I did. Actually, because of being thrown onto the case and having to do your work as well as mine, on top of doing the investigation into Agent Reigns I haven't gotten a chance to go over the case files!" Ford answered annoyed. "Why?"

  "No reason, I could do it for you? Of course I'd make sure the credit goes to you!" Seth suggested smiling.

  "Well...I don't normally accept help, but since I'm so busy, I guess this one time would be okay." Ford answered. "Don't screw anything up Agent Rollins!"

 "Agent Ford?" Micheals said coming into the room after knocking.

 "Yeah, Officer Mitchells what is it I'm busy!" Ford answered rudely.

 "Sir, the Captain would like to speak to you." Micheals said, not even bothering to correct Ford about his name anymore.

 "Alright, I'll go now. Mitchells, help Agent Rollins follow up on a lead on The Authority case!" Ford ordered, as he got up and left the room.

 "What a douche! How can you work with him and not want to use his nicely polished shoes to beat his face in?" Micheals asked.

 "By making fun of him with Agent Reigns, trust me it's a great stress reliever!" Seth answered smiling.

 "How is Agent Reigns?"

 "He's good, really anixous to get back to work though." Seth answered.

 "He never should have gotten suspended in the first place, this investigation is crap! Besides yourself, I've never seen a more dedicated, hardworking Agent like he is!" Micheals said angrily, no one at the station knew it was because of Seth this happened and hearing that made his guilt worse. "Anyway, you needed my help?"

 "Uh, yeah! I need you to put some men on a drug dealer Carter Brooks. He's a known associate of The Authority. If we put heat on him he might be willing to help us out!" Seth explained smiling.

  "On it! I have the perfect guys for the job! Anything else?"

  "Nope, that's it for now thanks Micheals!" Seth said smiling, as the young Officer left the room.

  Once alone Seth smiled, this was perfect! This was his chance to remove any and all info on Paige and Dean from the case!
