You wake up to the sun peering through your curtains, Mark was still sleeping soundly. You sit up and stretch, carefully kissing marks forehead before getting up to make the morning coffee. The scent of the brewing coffee was bringing you peace, you felt relaxed and well rested. You begin to pour a cup for you and mark, you smile as you see Mark stumbling into the kitchen rubbing his eyes, stretching and yawning. He smiles and comes over to kiss you and hug you from behind before grabbing his coffee and chugging it down. You raise an eyebrow and let out a faint chuckle at this display.

"I've got to make my way to the hospital, check in and get the word on Strahm and Perez." He rolled his eyes "I'll get you the address for the next game, the fatal five. You can help me round up the victims later on when I'm done. My promotion is also today, I hope you can make it." He kisses your head again before grabbing his clothes and heading out. "The files on the fatal five are in your bedroom." He says as he leaves. You smile and continue to drink your coffee and prepare for the day.

Your mind seems to wander as you make your way to the victims list as well as location, this is the first game you're playing without John and Amanda, you wonder where Dr Gordon ran off too after the nerve gas house and consider reaching out, but maybe he disappeared for a reason, he was a suspect after all and his wife and child left shortly after his game. You reach the top drawer of the dresser and pull out the files list. 5 people all accused of doing similar things, this was John's next game, you wonder if this is the last now that John is gone. You begin to fantasize about your future and leaving John's work behind and taking your new appreciation going further. Being interrogated by Strahm and sneaking around with Jill left a bad taste in your mouth, you want to go back to being hidden and out of the suspicion of the police, you have a feeling the FBI is still looking into you and Mark. You sigh as you put the envelopes away and go about the day.

~~~~~~~~~~
A days work had flown by, you finish typing up your work reports for the day before heading out, you keep your head down and make your way to your car. You smile and blush thinking of Mark's promotion, you could hardly wait. Your mind seemed to wander on the way to the briefing, a new game just didn't feel right. You tried to understand why John would keep his work going after his passing, knowing Jill and Mark could get caught at any moment. You try and shake the thought as you make your way to the police station, you park and head in, the conference is about to begin and you quickly take a seat in the back to keep a low profile. You notice Jill with sunglasses and a hat standing in the back with the crowd, you thought that was strange, why was she here? You keep Jill in the back of your mind as the room slowly grew quiet. Your face lights up as the chief begins speaking and Mark is handed his award and promotion. Something seems off, he looks concerned like he has something on his mind. The conference slowly dissolves and you sneak your way into the station passed the officers, tailing Mark to his office. He notices you and quickly pulls you in closing the door and blinds behind you both.

"Are you crazy? You can't be seen here, with me of all people." He snickers, but soon lets out a breath of calming down "we've got a problem."

"What's that" you put your hand on his shoulder. "We can get through this."

"Perez is dead and Strahm is up to something."

"That's a good thing no?" You questioned "Jill was in the back of the audience today too, should we be more worried about that?"

"Jill doesn't know what she's involved in, she thinks she does but she doesn't even have the slightest idea" he rolled his eyes. "But Strahm is worth worrying about, he was booted off the case and he's hot on my tail, there's nothing keeping him from going rouge." He sighs pinching the skin between his eyebrows in frustration, he walks over to his desk and picks up a note. "I know who you are." He hands it to
You."and clearly I know who left this." He continued to pace around the room.

"Then we take care of him, while keeping the game going. There's not much Strahm can do on his own, we just got to beat him at his own game." You smiled crossing your arms."Let me seek the help of Doctor Gordon to help round up the fatal five and set up, you do what you can to divert Strahm. Maybe even frame him, that shouldn't be too hard to do, all we have to do is lead him right into our hands"

"That's brilliant, you're brilliant" he smiles, coming over to you and kissing you heavily.
