A note.

A fûcking note.

The love of my life gets taken again and all I'm left with is a fûcking note.

Let's see how lucky you are this time Styles. Come and find her if you can. If you try anything slick or sneaky we'll start killing people off. We already have Sanders and the poor guy isn't looking so good. Natalia is cracking. Reid will go first, then Jordan, then that newbie, little Chace Crawford, you probably have with you since you need the boys somewhere else. Maybe we'll find that cute little doll you used to play with, Kat. Imagine how broken she'll be if you cause her favorite boys' deaths. Her only girl friend from college. I'd say completely shattered beyond recognition. Oh, and I'd like to thank you for leaving Shawn in that vulnerable state here in the station, we were hoping you'd do so instead of keeping him with you. That would've been harder for us to get him back. It's your move... Chief.

I screamed out in frustration as I crumbled the note, tossing it down to the ground.

I found it taped inside of the cell that Shawn was supposed to still be in.

They must have someone else helping them.

I was positive the trio were the ones pulling all the stunts but I guess they have more help than I thought.

Reid and Jordan looked at each other, Jordan being the one bending down to retrieve the note and read it with Reid glancing over his shoulder.

"We need this for evidence boss"

"I'm sorry. I just... I can't.."

I collapsed in one of the million chairs here in the station and gripped at my hair, pulling on the roots in hopes of calming down.

Natalia needs me to have a clear head and one slip up could be the difference between saving her or destroying her.

Killing her is what you mean.

There's no one else in that shîthole of a group that could help her or Sanders this time...

Maybe there is and they haven't exposed themselves yet?

Yeah Styles, keep thinking positive. Maybe she'll magically appear in front of you if you really tried hard enough.

I hate the voices in my head sometimes, they're so fûcking sarcastic.

But guess what, she did magically appear last time so fûck off.

"What's the status of my ex?"

"We can't seem to find Nina anywhere. Maybe she's with them?"

"It's a possibility. We should keep our eyes and ears open though just in case she's sent to try something"

They nod at me and we all keep thinking.

Crawford strutted in carrying sandwiches from Subway for all of us.

"Come on guys. You need to feed your brains. Natalia can't be risked off of half aśsed brain storming. Here chief"

I glanced over at the young newbie and nodded, grabbing the sandwich.

Reid and Jordan followed my action; we all sat in silence, eating these sandwiches.

With each chew, I start getting ideas on where to try and start.

Once we all finished, I spoke up first.

"Reid and Jordan, I need you to head over to the morgue and see what happened to the men who randomly collapsed. They weren't shot so maybe that could give us something? Also, make sure that Travis's body is kept under tight surveillance. Who knows who might try to see him"
