Todays morning hit different in Capaldi. Dylan who usually woke up before dawn of new day slept in. Last night sleep didn't come to him. He kept think and thinking .His eyelid felt heavy just before the dawn and he sleep.

Lena woke up at her usual time and stretch out in bed. Her back hit something solid and nearly a scream left her mouth. A familiar smell hits her nostrils as Lena move on her right side. To her surprise,Dylan was still in bed and sleeping peacefully.

Lena find it strange but she watched him sleeping for some time before getting up and start a new day.

Lena takes a warm bath and wear her favorite dress. Style has prepared breakfast for them. Lena helped style in setting the table as Dylan enters the lounge. His eyes completely tired and he was drained of his energy. Lena was quick on her foot and hugged him.

"Did you get some sleep last night Dylan? " Lena asked worried about him.

"Hmm" Dylan hugged her. Her body melting into his. All his negative thoughts moved out of him and despite a little sleep he felt quite freshed.

He put his hand on her head and pats hers.

Lena smiles and tip toes to kiss his check.

"Sit Dylan, eat some breakfast. " Lena said, pushing him to table.

[ All that I have to tell her now is lies, complete lies. I hate lying to Lena. But I have to protect her too. ]

A scene played before his eyes, when he goes out of Al'Xander mansion and he find Lena suppressing her cries. He gulped down and subconsciously hold her hand.

[Lies,]

The day at NUC was quite busy one. Dylan didn't even have free time to have lunch.

He had some time free before last leacture, which he spend working on Criminal law enforcement. During whole day, Dylan has done nothing but kept his mind busy as not to think of it. He saved it for moments in Ralph office.

He was waiting for Lena after his class before the teacher's office. He was tired, dead tired mentally. Dylan was gazing at the door when Lena came out and run to him. He smiled and kissed her forehead twice, inhaling sweetest scent of her inside.

"To the Old Shen? " he asked her.

"Yeah but a quick stop at my favorite café for some sugar rush. " Lena said walking beside him.

"Okay, anything else love? " he asked teasing her. They were now near the parking.

"Be on time to take me back home." Lena moved to whisper in his ear. Dylan opens the door for her and helped Lena to sit in.

"I will be at Stanley's club after dropping you at old shen. Call me if you need anything. " Dylan informed her, taking the driver seat.

Lena knows that they met up at Stanley's club for some boy's talk. So, she didn't pay much attention to it. The rest of drive was in silence. He stopped by the café and bought her a warm coffee and her favorite pastries.

Lena eat while playing on her phone.

Dylan bends down and adjusted warm muffler on her neck. He helped her wearing a warm cap as Lena cleans her hand.

"Okay. See you soon. " Lena said.

"call me if you get free early. " Dylan said and watch her going inside. He was constantly reminded of her safety during the whole ride.

"Something is cooking up in Capaldi. And it's not good. Once again you are surrounded by eyes that watched your every movement. Hear you say every single word. Capaldi... Was it this cruel as time passed on? "

A voice said as Dylan parked inside the basement.

"I'm aware of them, long before I left for Kingstonë. I was being stupid then. Don't worry, they won't get away from it this time." Dylan said remembering how he has find out about eyes on him.

"Won't you tell them that you already know about them? "

" I will if I find it necessary. "

he said and open the door of Ralph's office. Their hidden meeting base.

Four of them were waiting for him.

"I won't avoid it today but make it quick. "

Dylan said, taking his seat.

Four of them asked Dylan different questions and Dylan replied all of them.

By the end of this session, Dylan was completely drained. He did not have enough energy to continue.

"There are three different people who are keeping eyes on you. I have checked no one knew other. They are from different places and have different motives. " Sam said giving him their identities.

"Is this related to the Inventory that I bought from a shop in Central Square?" Dylan asked fidgeting his fingers.

"Perhaps " CP said for first time.

"Okay. Stanley have you find out, are they behind me or Lena? " Dylan said but he felt he has had asked most difficult question of his life. He already knew they are after him but still he wants to confirm it.

"You. " Sam said.

" There target is you Dylan. But they can do anything harmful to Lena too. " CP explained.

How long has it been since you and CP are in one page. The voice asked.

Dylan neglect it.

"Can I get something to eat? " Dylan asked after working on plan with them.

Gibbs strangely check him.

"How long it has been since you eaten? " he asked.

"In morning. " Dylan said and leans back to seat.

Ralph Stanley quickly ordered someone to bring something to eat.

Dylan was feeling all weak now. His energy level down to zero.

"It has happened for first time. " he told Gibbs.

"Gibbs I'm tired of lies, end all of this as soon as possible. " He said.

Soon the food was before them and they dig in. To his surprise, his appetite has gone.

He eat, in fact shoved food down his mouth.

"I have to go to her. " he said as Dylan feel his energy back to him.

Dylan reached for his bag and phone and get ready for a ride to the Forest Of Red Truck.

"He is acting strange. " Dylan heard Stanley's voice as he close the door.

"You don't know what is he going through, he has not gotten any sleep since last night. " Gibbs said.

"Think of it,put yourself in place him and tell me how would you like this to end as soon as possible? " CP said.

" It has been long, since I heard from her. Lena has stopped talking to me for years now. You don't know how it felt like when your favorite person, the sister you adored is afraid of you. " He said being true him.

"how long has it been since He is being true him" a voice said, as Dylan listened to them behind the half closed door.

" It's been long time since Eva, I heard her voice. " Gibbs said. But it wasn't only Gibbs but other three felt it too.
