Fang took the sample, studying it and nodded. "I'll start on it right away and come to you when I have the results." Fang took it to his experiment table and took it out to begin his tests.

Justice left him to do his work and went to the Cemetary and Zeke had dug a grave for Catori and said they'd bury her in the morning. There had been no need for an autopsy since the cause of death was evident and Justice went back to the Civil Corps to see if he could come up with anything more.

The next morning, Jordan woke to find Logan holding the baby, rocking her as he tried to get her back to sleep. She smiled, getting out of bed to go over to him. "She wake up fussy again?"

Logan grinned. "Yes, but nothing I can't handle. I think she just wanted some attention." He looked at his three-month-old daughter and she was already asleep. He carefully put her down in the crib next to their bed and covered her with her soft pink blanket.

He turned to Jordan, putting his arms around her waist. "Zoe takes after you I think, waking up early in the morning and demanding attention and breakfast. You're both a bit spoiled." Logan grinned.

Jordan smacked his bottom. "Excuse me Mister?" She grinned, giving him a kiss. "I am not spoiled, and neither is your daughter."

Logan laughed, pulling her close to him. "I'm just kidding darling. I love you and I love Zoe. I'm so lucky to have you both in my life. "

Jordan smiled and hugged him tight. "I'm lucky too. I love you."

Just as Logan was about to tell Jordan he loved her, there was a knock at the door. It was Justice. "Logan, I need you to go to Atara with me."

Logan nodded. "Sure Justice, what's going on? You look as if you've seen a ghost." Logan had Justice come in and asked Justice to keep his voice down because the baby was sleeping.

"I may have a lead into who killed Catori. I found a record of get this, Commander Lefu and he leant her money for Catori World, over $500,000 but Logan, she'd gone to more than 20 investors and borrowed money. She only needed $500,000 to start Catori World. What's more is I found out Catori World was raking in more than $10,000 a day but not for the reasons it was designed for." Justice told him, pausing to catch his breath.

"She was making money selling the drugs Fang invented for curing illnesses. She somehow got her hands on the formula and hired someone to create the medicine and selling to big pharmaceutical companies for huge amounts of money. Then she reinvested the money into Commander Lefu's army. She was helping him design weapons powerful enough to take out every city block within five thousand miles. She's been doing it since Duvos invaded Sandrock." Justice finished explaining.

Logan's eyes widened. "What the hell? So, if Lefu killed her, why? Perhaps she screwed him over because she planned to get rid of him once she had these weapons and he found out."

Justice nodded. "Maybe, something like that. I don't know but I want to pay Lefu a visit. He lives in Atara now since they released him from prison. I hate that he got out due to a screw up at the trial but what can you do? Come on, if we go now, we can get back before dark."

Logan nodded and turned to Jordan. "I'll be back soon darlin."
