******************
Athena called out for Jesse. Her tear stained face was testament to her end. Not her death, but her sanity. Her only saving grace is that her son wasn't here to witness it. If only luck had been so kind to her. Then again life is never fair.
____12 hours before____
Athena had taken the day off. After the surprise visit from her brother, she was not feeling well. She knew it wasn't the end. Lucas had always been the weird on of the two.

With that, finding out her father was dead. It was too much. She loved the man, maybe not as much as before, but she did. However, she wouldn't claim him, just as he hadn't claimed her. It was hate, that was something she could say. She just didn't mind the fact that she was out of his hold. He was a give and take type of person.

Her childhood had been spent getting something, only to have it taken when he felt she didn't meet his desire and wants. America had been her saving grace. She was finally out of his control. She was living.

Although her trips home were hell. Hiding who she was and avoiding her brother like the plague. As they got older his eyes wondered her body more. Like she was just some woman he could lust after.

Athena chuckled to herself. Lucas, the priest of a Catholic church, was a pervert. She could only hope he hadn't acted out his perversions on the innocent young women.

She had spent most of her teen years wondering when her parents would notice his behavior. It was in plain view. Many of the neighborhood girls didn't talk to her. If they did, they only told her about how her brother tried peeping on them.

Coming from a small town in Greece had made her uneasy. With all the hiding of family drama and town wide perversion. She was thankful to be out of that environment.

Athena called Jesse, telling her the news of her brother's arrival.

"So, he just said he was dead?" Jesse asked.

"Yes. Not as you put it. He had just left before you came. I'm surprised you didn't see him."

"Wait. I did see a guy who looked kind of like you. He seemed weird."

"Well, Lucas has always been different."

Athena had yet to tell Jesse of Lucas' perverted ways. She knew Jesse would worry and now with her son being involved, she knew Jesse would be over protective.

"Thena?"

"Yes?"

"I asked if you wanted me to come over?"

"No. I'm fine. Thank you. I should let you go. You're probably busy."

"Not really. Nic's here so Maria is in her office having a meeting. Which means she's having sex with my partner/best friend. I'm just look out."

Athena laughed, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh."

"Yes you did. Part of the job I guess." Jesse joked.

"Maybe. Well I'll see you tonight."

"Yes ma'am you will. Bye!"

"Bye."

Athena sat the phone down. She began making a mental list of all she had to do before getting Jessie.

"Who was that?"

Athena jumped in surprise. "Lucas!? What are you doing here?"

"I said we should talk."

"I don't want to talk. You need to go."

"Go where? I only came to get you and bring you back home." Lucas said innocently.

"I'm home and your here uninvited. Leave before I call the police." Athena said as fear crept up her throat.

"The police?" Lucas said with disdain. "You mean that sinful woman. The one you took you and corrupted you!? Took what was to be mine!?"

Lucas grabbed Athena before she could run.

" Lucas let me go!"

"I did that once thinking you'd get over these lesbian tendencies. I should have taken you when I had the chance!"

Athena's blood ran cold. She knew what was about to happen. She could only flail as Lucas dragged her to her room.

His thoughts were of a single minded person. Yet, his excitement left him unguarded for the punch Athena threw his way.

"You bitch!" He yelled.

He grabbed her hair, pulling her to the bed. Athena called out for Jesse. Her tear stained face was testament to how this would end. Lucas put himself between her legs.

"You were to be mine." He stated as his lips were closer to Athena. "Don't cry angel. We have a lot of time. I'm willing to take the little boy and raise him to know what God created a woman for." He said with fake sincerity.

Jesse was bone tired. Nic and Maria were still at it as the office closed. She decided to surprise Athena.

She parked her truck and headed to Athena's door. As she got closer she could hear muffled screaming. She tried opening the door. After knocking to make sure it was from Athena she kicked the door down.

Her weapon drawn, she followed the noise to Athena's room.

Athena had given up calling for help. She just laid as her brother let his big, rough hands roam her body. Her shirt long gone, he worked on her jeans.

"Lucas, stop!"

"Well if it isn't the dyke who took my angel from me." Lucas turned, his eyes meeting Jesse's gun. "What are you going to do?"

"Don't move! Get down and put your hands behind your head."

Athena scrambled to grabbed her robe. Tying the robe, she ran to Jesse hugging her. Jesse wrapped one arm around her, not letting Lucas out of her site.

"Go get your things. Call Nic and tell her to get here." Jesse ordered.

"Are you some super hero?" Lucas sneered.

"Get. Down and put your hands behind your head."

Lucas stepped closer. "Or what!? God will not let you kill me!"

"Get! Down! And put your hands behind your head!" Jesse repeated.

Lucas launched his body toward Jesse. No hesitation, she pulled the trigger.
______________
Jesse had never killed anyone. Being in the Navy she was always on the ship. Never on the front lines. She's shot suspects. In the leg, shoulder. But, killing wasn't something she had wanted to do. However, she felt good. She felt peace. Her family was protected. If only momentarily.

Chase sat watching the news.

"An officer has shot and killed a person who remains unnamed. Tune in at six for more."

A picture of Jesse flashed across her screen.

"I guess I better prepare for a fight."
