(QB)

Star and I went over these photos for nearly three hours now, and we still couldn't come up with a face that was responsible for these heinous murders! All we saw was a woman that looked like she was straight out of a horror flick...

Very scary!

I'm talking the Grudge mixed with the Ring scary! Ugh!

But, by the by... I know she's Scathe! Why else would she invade HQ, murder another agent just to get to the informant? Only Scathe, and those captives that were brought back to the states from that terrorist fraction, knew exactly who the invader was!

The informants name was Angelica or Jelick... something, so I was told, and now we have no leads other than the grainy and distorted surveillance footage to go off of.

'This girl knew how to stay out of the frames. I can't see anything other than the informant drink some kind of substance, and fall to the floor, dead.'

I can't think straight. The only thing on my mind is my nieces, Kayla and Mar'i, and my new nephew Jr! I need to check in on them. I also heard that Dylan's babysitter was shot... so.. so..."

"QB!" My husband came rushing to me.

"Sparky!" Yeah I called him by his nickname. He embraced me in the tightest but loving hug, and I melted in his strong grip.

"Are you okay? Let me look at you." He said and gave me a once-over. I could understand, with everything that's going on, that he would want to be sure I was alright. He may be a big strong tuff looking guy, but he's a sweet scruffy teddy bear that's ready to be snuggled.

"I'm fine babe, but Star and I can't make good on the footage of the infiltrator. All we got is that she seems to fit the description of the same girl that killed Ramos.

"No need for that. BB and I got a positive match from two eyewitnesses accounts. Dylan and Terra survived the attack! We got her babe! Come on, Bruce would what to see this." He said and held my hand the entire way to debriefing room 2.

Star, Ric, BB, and Dylan followed us, but not before Ric texted Bruce, which he relayed that he would arrive in the next fifteen minutes. He was being held by the media, so we had a few moments to kill.

BB looked in my direction and mouthed the one word that I knew was plaguing him this entire night... Jr! I walked over to him and knelled down to him and whispered...

"He and Mari' are with Kaylah. He's fine. I know she won't let anything happen to the children." He in turn whispered...

"Can you call them? I want to hear his voice for myself." I did as BB instructed. I intended on doing it myself, but with all the events taking place, I didn't get the chance yet. It must be wonderful and troublesome to be a parent. Always worrying about your child and their safety. Vic and I didn't get to experience it; we have no children of our own, even after being married for five years.

But in due time... maybe.

I placed the call and spoke to my niece for a few minutes before BB grabbed the phone from me...

Asshole, huh!

I need to remind myself to make him pay triple the price for this little stunt... ha-ha. I listened in to what he had to say to the young-in...

"Hey my little dude, you good?"

"Yeah daddy. Kaylah and I are playing chess. Spoiler alert... she's losing hmp-hmp." They both shared a laugh at my niece's expense. I heard her in the background screaming,

"He's cheating! "There's no way that a 7-year-old is this good! TT I'm getting annihilated by a kid... HMP!!"

"Okay, I'll go easy on you next time K." Jr started to chuckle loudly, then I heard my niece tickle the youngster.

"Ha-ha... sounds like you're in good hands son. I love you and I'll be to get you soon alright?"

"Okay daddy... I love you too."

"I mean it son! I love you... so much. Behave for me okay? We'll go home soon to mommy, and I'm bringing a new friend for you to play with. He's going to stay with us for a little while. Is that alright with you?"

"Sure daddy. I can't wait to see you, and mommy. Misfit too! You can't see, but she's licking the phone... hahaha."

I saw BB's eyes well as he chuckled at this activity. He closed his eyes as he imagined them, his son and the 'devil dog' having a great time while us adults struggled to make it safe for a boy and his dog. It's a very emotional sight.

"I love you so much Jr. I love you son!" He said.

"I love you too dad. See you soon!" And Jr ended the call. BB held my cell for a few minutes, whipping a few tears from his eyes, then handed the phone back to me.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah... yeah QB, for the first time in my life, I'm alright. I have my son, my bae, and my dog, what else can I ask for? He's just so, innocent and full of life! And he's my world, and my universe gifted him to me! I couldn't be happier right now. I just... I just... don't have any words. I'm in love with everything right now."

He held a genuine smile on his face. The same smile I haven't seen since before Raven was taken by Trigon and his crew. I loved that smile! No one made him react like that in a long time, and it was a refreshing sight to see.

True happiness!!!
