Saving Love

Set up

 After leaving the park, Roman and Seth returned to the room and found Paige sitting on the couch, as she spoke on the phone. She ended her call and greeted them, as they sat beside her.

 "Any luck?" She asked cuddling up to Seth.

 "Nope! No one knows him." Roman answered sadly, as she took his hand.

 "Well, I've got something that might cheer you both up!" She said smiling.

 "You know where Dean is?" Roman asked.

 "Not exactly!" She answered.

"What?" Seth asked confused.

"I just got off the phone with a contact who told me he could find out everything I need!" She explained.

"But?" Roman asked.

"But, I have to meet him tonight to find out what he knows!" She answered knowing both men would forbid it.

"No way!" Seth said upset.

"There's no way we're letting you go alone!" Roman added.

"I know, that's why I told him we'd meet him at 8 tonight!" She said smiling.

"You really think this guy knows something?" Seth asked hopefully.

"I do!" Paige answered. "He knew the family was in town before I told him, not like the others!"

"I'm going to go lay down before we have to go, I'm exhausted!" Roman said, before he got up and left the room.

"He okay?" Paige asked concerned.

"No, this whole Dean thing is really messing with him!" Seth answered sighing.

"What?"

"Today when we were talking to people about Dean, Roman told me Ford was here!"

"Was he?" She asked nervously.

"No, when I looked around he wasn't there!" Seth answered.

"Do you believe Ro?" She questioned.

"No, I think his over tired mind made him think he saw Ford!" Seth answered.

"I...I don't know Seth, Ro's not one to imagine things; especially Ford of all people!" Paige said unsure what to think.

"You're right, but I still don't believe Ford's here! Why would he?" Seth said.

"Maybe he works for The..."

"Don't say it Paige, I'm begging you! No, more conspiracies okay?" Seth begged cutting her off.

"Okay, I'm sorry!" She agreed kissing him.

"Let's order dinner and relax, before we have to go meet your contact." Seth said smiling.

  A couple of hours later Roman and Seth sat on the couch waiting for Paige to finish getting ready. Seth looked at his watch, they had to leave in 10 minutes or they'd miss her contact. Not wanting that to happen, Seth stood and was about to go get her when she came into the room.

 "Ready to go? We have..."

 "We aren't going anywhere Seth!" She said cutting him off.

 "What?" Roman asked upset, as he stood fearing their one chance at finding Dean was gone!

 "I...I uh, just got a text from my contact and the meeting is still on!" She answered, biting her lip nervously.

"They don't want Roman and I there, do they?" Seth asked.

"No, they said if I didn't come alone then the meeting is off!" She explained.

"Forget it! Call them back and..."

"I'm going!" She said cutting Seth off.

"No Paige, it's too dangerous!" Roman said upset.

"It could be a set up dammit! You could be walking right into The Authority's hands!" Seth added.

"It's a chance I have to take! I love Dean and he'd do the same damn thing for me...or either of you two! I'm a big girl and I can handle myself! I don't need you two to always protect me!" She yelled angrily.

"We know Paige! We just don't want to lose you too!" Seth said sadly, as he took her in his arms.

"I'll be fine, I promise! If something doesn't feel right I'll leave okay?"

"We can't stop you?" Roman asked gently.

"No."

"Okay, be smart, be safe!" Seth said hugging her, before she hugged Roman.

"I will, I promise! I love you both!"

"We love you too!" Seth replied kissing her, before she left.

  10 minutes later Paige arrived at the meeting place; a park near their hotel. She wandered around for a few minutes, before she sat down on a bench. She began looking around the nearly deserted park; besides her there was a young couple out walking enjoying the beautiful night, and a man walking his dog. The longer she sat there waiting, the more uneasy she became...something felt wrong! Trusting her instincts, she decided to do what she promised the guys she would do and leave! She stood up and began walking, as she neared the bathrooms Kane suddenly appeared in front of her from behind the building. She froze, he smiled at her and seeing that she knew Seth was right, it was a trap! She turned to run, but Kane hit her in the back of the head with something, knocking her out. As soon as she hit the ground Kane still smiling put his gun away. He then looked around making sure no one saw them, before he picked her up and took her to his car.
