"They're brothers?" I asked in complete shock. Jace probably didn't know because if he did, it might be more heartbreaking that his own blood was doing this.

"You think the kid's mom is up for talking?" Zander asked me as he walked into my office, Nicolas leaving quietly.

Sparkling blue eyes locked onto mine and they began to fill with concern.

"Kat, what's going on in that beautiful head of yours?" He asked me. I sighed and looked at him.

"He loves my niece. The only family that I have left. She's having a baby. The first grandchild, my great-niece. If anything happens to either of them, I honestly don't know what I would do." I told him, looking into the eyes of the man that I was truly in love with.


It was my first day at the bureau and I was supposed to be shadowing some guy whose name I couldn't remember at the moment.

"You the newbie?" A deep voice asked. I turned around to see a very attractive man in a t-shirt and a black pair of jeans. His muscles bulged from the shirt slightly. Blue eyes pierced into my soul.

"Kathryn Sawyer," I introduced myself. He chuckled and nodded his head toward the conference room.

"Come on Sawyer, it's time for your first briefing." He said, a small smile on his face. I knew in that very moment that I was in love with him. Zander Phoenix, right-hand to the current team leader had been praised at the academy.

He was nice but gentle. He was kind but firm. You couldn't walk all over him.

He came to me and wrapped his arms around me. Hugging me closely, I relaxed slightly to the sound of his heartbeat.

"You should know that we are going to bring them home. You are going to be in your niece and grandniece's lives and you are going to make sure that this never happens to anyone again." His voice low in my ear. Zander placed his lips on my forehead and they stayed there.

A knock caused us to jump and break apart. I sat at my desk and Zander stood where he was. Nicolas came in with a serious look on his face.

"We just got him on the phone." He said.

"Hello, Kathryn Margo Sawyer," Finn began. His tone suggesting that he was in a teasing mood. This probably wasn't a good sign.

"Finn, how are you?" I asked. He laughed humorlessly.

"I would be better knowing that the FBI wasn't involved and if the team leader of the BAU wasn't the aunt to the girl I've kidnapped." He said sarcastically.

Finn began to go on about how unfair it was that Rebecca had so many people, we began tracking his location.

"Something about this call doesn't feel right," Zander said, his worry showing on his face, which was rare.

"Kathryn, you wanna know something? I used to think that I could like Rebecca. She's a sweet girl but FUCK! I wanted everything to go back to normal." Finn said, his hostility clear.

Zander hit the mute button and the words that came out of his mouth were the words that I had been praying for since the day I saw Rebecca on the news.

"We have a location. Let's go." With his command, immediately men followed. This was a huge case and with a trail of bodies so long left by a psychopath; this was hopefully the end.

"Kathryn, you know what I love about this whole shindig?" Finn asked, snapping me out of my hopeful haze.

"What's that?" I asked, suddenly feeling hesitant. Something didn't feel right. Something was about to go wrong.

"That in the end of this, Jace Taylor will forever be damaged. He will never be the same." He said. "If I hurt Rebecca and the baby, he's hurt. If I hurt his brothers, he's hurt. It's literally a win-win for me because the one thing that I want to see happen is that Jace will be hurt." He said, his voice dripped in venom.

"How will this get the girl you really want back?" I asked. I was confident that he would keep talking because he had no one to talk to. I wanted him to feel like he could let off steam.

"Haven't figured that part out yet. But when I do, I promise you will be the first to know." He said. Before I could say anything, he hung up. I groaned and began to dial Zander.

"Everything," I said. Immediately, Nicolas began firing off.

"The location from the call says that he is about ten miles away from where Rebecca was shot." He said. I began to pace.

"It's the fucking reason this kid has been a step ahead, he's been close. He must have went to his parents house, after murdering them and the others, he's taking a break. He doesn't think that we're going to find him." I said aloud.

The sound of tires screeching caught my attention. Next were gunshots and shouting.

"Kat, we've already got two people injured. James is firing at us and we need backup and medic NOW!" Zander shouted just before the static began. My heart dropped.

Nicolas gasped and then turned his computer to me.

KATHRYN,

I TOLD YOU THAT IN SOME TYPE OF WAY, JACE WAS GOING TO GET HURT. YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO REBECCA AND SEEING HER HURT BECAUSE YOU ARE WOULD DEVASTATE HER...

COUNT TO THREE AND IT WILL ALL BE OVER.


I gasped and everyone immediately began to run out of the building. I began to run when the windows from my office blew.








Author's note:

This chapter is short but it's a brief look into Kathryn and the investigation as well as her past.

Finn has done it again and has blown up the FBI headquarters. Did Kathryn survive? Did Zander survive? So many questions.

Alright, so as for an update, the next two weeks for work, I'm gonna be working during Frapp Happy Hour at Starbucks, which means that I will working most of the time but I will be writing here and there until I can finally find the time to finish the chapter.

What to expect in the next chapter:

-10:30 a.m. (the time) actually makes it's appearance.

-Small time leap + update on Kathryn

I need baby girl names for Princess Taylor. I won't be deciding on a name for her for the next couple of weeks and I'll let you guys know. But send me a lot though! More than one is totally cool!

Baby Update: Augustine is gonna be five months this Thursday. I can't fathom the fact that my tiny human being is so close to being half a year. He's so smart and so advanced, it's kind of scary. I am truly in love with him and I am so excited to how much more he's going to develop and how he's going to grow into his own x.
