    They were safe and hidden away in India. She was frustrated because they couldn't get to Rajat. Not yet. It still wasn't safe. John had told her she had to be patient, but her patience was running thin. It had been weeks since she spoke or saw her son and it was killing her inside. She sat by the bay window of the cottage they were in. It had been years since she been here, but it still held many memories. Her knees tucked against her chest, she watched as the sun began to sink in the sky. The twilight sunset illuminating the clouds in the distance. She missed her son, her Rajat....she felt like an incomplete family.

    He forced a smile but knew her concerns. He missed Rajat too. The time away had been long and it was putting a lot of stress on them both. The house was a nice comfort but it felt empty without the rest of their family here. Soon he could send the signal, but he had to be sure. He walked to the window and rested a hand on her shoulder as he looked out over the horizon.

    "A penny for your thoughts, Sevti...."

    She heard his voice and felt his touch at the same time, causing her to break from her thoughts. She blinked a few times and cleared her throat, shaking her head as she looked over at him. "Just thinking of Rajat. What he may be doing. If he's safe...if he...forgot about us." She looked away from him and back out the window, sighing softly as she thought about the joy her little boy brought her.

    "When??" She looked back at him after the longest silent pause and spoke only one word. Meeting his eyes, she knew he knew what she meant.

    He ran his fingers through her hair and rested his hand along the curve of her back. Leaning down, he kissed the top of her head and whispered.

    "Soon, Sevti...we just have to be sure it is safe."

    She sighed hard and looked up at him, "You said that two weeks ago...and then before that. Soon...is not soon enough John. I feel... I feel like I'm going crazy. I feel like..." She began to get a bit hysterical and covered her face, resting her elbows on her knees. Blowing out a breath, she closed her eyes and kept her head buried in her hands. "I hate this."

    "Neither of us likes it, Sevti. I just got you two back and you think it does not kill me every day to have him away from us?"

    He walked to the table and poured two glasses or rich red wine. Walking back over to her, he held one out.

    "Let us drink to Rajat, and to the strength of family."

    She took the glass and drank the contents quickly, standing to meet his height. "I don't feel very strong. Not without him. Our family is broken and incomplete and I don't know how to manage each day without him. Not knowing where he is...not knowing if they are okay." She sighed and placed her glass on the nearby table. Looking back over at him, she shrugged, "I've never been away from him like this, John. Not one day of his life. I was always there when he went to bed or he woke up." She felt like she'd cry and turned away from him.

    He wrapped his arms around her again and smiled softly.

    "Once we clear up the George problem, we should be able to change that. Now that the pieces are in place, a lot of things are making sense. I know you did not want to believe it, but look at the facts. He knew you would be in Paris. He knew we would both be here...all the little things you have told me about and now his recent actions all point to the same thing. He is the 'man behind the curtain', Tij. I know you did not want to believe it but it is obvious now..."

    He kissed her shoulder.

    "I can deal with it out of hand if you want, but I thought you might want to take a personal touch in the matter. It is up to you, Tij. Once we clear up the threat, it will be safe to bring Rajat home. I had to do what was best for our son's safety. You know that."

    She felt his arms slip around her as he stood behind her, pulling her back against him. She closed her eyes and a single tear rolled down her cheek as he spoke. His suspicions of George were similar to her own but to accuse him of such a thing...she hadn't quit yet but had dropped off the map since the vampire attack. She wasn't sure who she could trust anymore. She opened her eyes and turned in his arms, looking up into his eyes. "John, If he is the reason I am being kept from my son, I'll slay him myself. But I have to be sure. Do you trust me?" With that, she grinned with a devious plan in mind.

    He looked in her eyes and smiled.

    "I always trust you, Sevti...what do you have in mind?"

    She grinned. "Face the demon head on, so to speak. But I do this on my terms...my way. Deal?" She gave him a stern look, knowing he'd have choice suggestions but his time would come. She would save George for him...maybe. But it had to be done her way.

    He grinned, knowing she could be at least as vicious as he could.

    "Agreed, Sevti. We do things your way."
