CHAPTER 4

MORNING

Sara stretches yawning she looks at Ian "Don't you ever get tired?"

"I can last for a few days." Ian shrugs glancing at Sara "Did you sleep well?"

Sara scrunches up her nose "Well as one can in a car." She runs her fingers through her hair. "Are we stopping somewhere tonight?"

Ian shrugs "If you want."

"What time is it?"

"9."

"Mmm." Sara nods. "Coffee soon?" She asks hopefully.

"Sure."
MIDAFTERNOON

Sara enters the hotel room tossing her bag on the floor as Ian enters behind her. She flops on the bed with a happy sigh.

"Tired?" Ian questions closing the door removing his overcoat and cap. He sits on the edge of the bed smoothing her hair back.

Sara nods grabbing his hand she tugs him down next to her. She slings her arm over his stomach her head resting on his shoulder. "Stay?"

"Alright." Ian rests his arm around her shoulders brushing his lips over her hair. "Get some sleep."

"You too." She says sleepily.

Ian lies there enjoying the feel of Sara in his arms as he follows her to sleep.
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER

Sara awakens to find herself once again on top of Ian. She lifts her head to find Ian asleep. She smiles at the sight, 'He's so cute when he sleeps.'

Ian opens his eyes feeling Sara shift on top of him. He smiles sleepily.

"Sorry if I woke you." Sara apologizes.

Ian shrugs. "Its OK. I would have woken once your breathing and heart rate changed."

"Huh?"

Ian tucks a strand of hair behind her ear "As you become more alert you're breathing and heart rate changes. It's starting to right now."

"Oh." Sara frowns "How do you know that?"

"You are on top of me."

"Oh yeah." Sara grins. "You know Nottingham you did promise we'd finish what we started at the rest stop."

"Well then can't go back on that." Ian grins back his hands going to her face he kisses her deeply.
DAWN: 1111 FAUST

Kenneth enters the lab where he finds Dr. Immo reading over a file. "Well?" He demands.

"I was about to wake him. I thought you'd want to be here for that."

Kenneth nods walking back to the room he watches as Dr. Immo injects something into the dupes arm. He smiles watching the figure awaken "Hello Christian... it is good to see you."

Slowly the figure stands clasping his hands behind his back.

"Christian how are you feeling?" Kenneth questions.

"Fine sir."

"Do you know why you've been woken?" Dr. Immo inquires.

Christian nods "My predecessor is missing... as is the Wielder."

Kenneth walks around the clone "Do you know what the Wielder looks like?"

Christian tilts his head a slow smile appearing "Yes."

"Good. Now you've been woken to find your brother and the Wielder and bring them both back... alive."

"Yes Master"

Kenneth nods looking at Immo "Make sure he is ready."

"Kenneth you know he is not ready for the outside world."

"I don't care." Kenneth snaps. "I want Ian and the Wielder brought back. If you find one the other will follow." He regards Christian. "Christian since the Doctor is correct in being concerned you are not to hurt anyone unless need be. That includes your brother and the Wielder. I do not want them harmed."

Christian nods "I will not harm anyone unless you order it."

"Good. Immo finish up what you need to, I want Christian ready to begin his search tomorrow morning."

As Kenneth leaves the room, Immo regards the clone "Let's get started then."
SAME TIME: HOTEL ROOM

Ian and Sara both awaken with a gasp each feeling a new yet familiar presence. Sara looks at Ian "What was that?"

Ian runs his fingers through his hair 'He did it.'

Sara frowns sensing Ian's distress and concern "Ian what's wrong?" She asks slipping her arm around his waist.

"He did it." Ian says running his hands over his face.

"Did what?" Sara asks concerned.

"He woke the other."

"The other? What are you talking about Ian?"

"My clone... he woke my clone."

"Ian..."

"He doesn't know I know about the other." Ian says softly "Somehow the doctors he hired found a way to clone me. He hired them under the condition that they not share their knowledge with anyone. That's why human cloning hasn't happened yet."

"Ian, are you sure that he's your clone?"

"Sara he's more than my clone... he's me yet he's not."

"What do you mean?"

"Since I'm alive he has some parts of his memory missing. If I were dead, he would have all of my memories. Basically he'd be a full grown adult who knows everything about me, Kenneth... you." Ian looks at Sara "Kenneth must have woken him to search for us."

"Can he find us?"

"I don't know... it's possible." Ian looks down.

Sara reaches out cupping Ian's cheek "We'll deal with that if it happens."

"I should have gone back and destroyed him before we left." Ian says sadly.

"Could you have Ian?" Sara asks "He is in some odd way your family."

"I know."

Sara wraps her arms around him gently rubbing his back as Ian buries his face in her neck.

After a moment Ian lifts his head, "Sara" he whispers touching her face with the back of his fingers. He leans in kissing her gently their tongues meeting lazily.

Sara pulls back smoothing his hair back "You OK?"

Ian shrugs.

Sara tugs him down beside her so their lay side by side, face to face. "Don't think about it right now... just get some sleep." She rests her hand on his cheek. "After you get some sleep we can figure something out."

Ian nods nuzzling into her hand.

Sara leans in kissing him lightly "Good." She watches Ian drift into a light sleep.
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER: HOTEL ROOM

Ian looks at Sara asleep next to him. 'She is so beautiful.' He silently regards Sara. 'I love her. If he is me, does he feel the same way about Sara? How could he not love her?' He inhales sharply as Sara shifts in her sleep causing the sheet covering her to slip off her baring her breasts. He reaches out pulling the sheet up.

Sara slowly stirs opening her eyes she smiles sleepily. "Morning." She says stretching.

"Good Morning Sara." He reaches out smoothing a strand of hair back.

Sara shifts closer to Ian kissing him gently "You OK?"

"I can feel him." Ian says looking away, "He's getting stronger."

"What do you mean you can feel him?" Sara questions curiously

"I don't know how to explain it." Ian sighs

Sara touches his cheek. "What do you want to do about this?"

"I don't know. Perhaps it would be best to wait until we know what his plan is." Ian runs his hand over his face. "Check outs at 11. We should get moving."

Sara leans in kissing him. "I'm going to go take a shower"

"I'll go get you some coffee." He watches Sara walk to the bathroom.

Sara grins at him "Read my mind huh."

"I know how you think." Ian replies getting out of bed he pulls on his discarded clothes. "I won't be long." He calls.

"Okay." Sara replies as she turns on the shower. She takes out her birth control pills. 'Thank god he thought of adding my birth control pills to the emergency stash. Wonder if he thought we'd end up having sex?' Sara pauses then shakes her head 'Nah... I doubt it.' She opens the shower door stepping into the warm relaxing water sighing happily.
HOUR LATER

Sara smiles as Ian steps out of the bathroom. "I'll talk to you later then Gabe." She hangs up the phone.

"How is Gabriel?" Ian questions.

"Fine. He's enjoying his free time." Sara laughs setting the phone down. She stretches her arms over her head.

Ian chuckles "I'm not surprised. The boy does work too hard."

"He does have fun though."

"True" Ian agrees "but he started his work right after he finished school." Ian remarks pulling on a clean shirt.

"Like you've ever taken a break from training, school, or work." Sara returns.

Ian nods "This is the first time in ten years where I haven't had to take orders."

"Ten years?! And people tell me I need a break from work." Sara shakes her head.

"Well you do work too much and bring your work home."

"This coming from the guy who lives with his work." Sara says amused. She yelps in surprise as Ian pulls her to her feet his arms holding her tight.

"Not anymore."

Sara smiles her arms going around his neck "I'm glad."

"I'm not totally free but I am freer than ever before."

Sara rests her forehead against his "Something tells me one day you will be."

Ian reluctantly sets Sara down "We should go."

"I want more coffee."

"Well then we'll get you more coffee." Ian chuckles kissing her forehead.

"Good." Sara grins stepping out of his arms.
LATE MORNING: 1111 FAUST

"Christian, please come down here." Kenneth calls. He looks up to see the clean-shaven clone, dressed in clothes similar to Ian's, walk out of the shadows of the balcony study.

"Good morning sirs." Christian greets walking down the stairs.

"Are you feeling more alert Christian?" Kenneth inquires

Christian nods "Yes sir."

"Good." Kenneth rubs the back of his hand "Christian can you feel your predecessor?"

Christian closes his eyes concentrating he nods "Yes... but barely."

"The connection will grow stronger." Kenneth says absently "Can you feel the Wielder?"

Christian tilts his head a faint smile appearing "Yes."

"Is it stronger than your connection to Ian?" Kenneth questions curiously.

"It is different." Christian answers slightly puzzled.

Kenneth nods "Christian do you understand why you were woken?"

"To return the Wielder and my predecessor to you."

"Why?"

"My Predecessor has fallen for the Wielder thus disobeying orders in helping her escape."

"Good" Kenneth says in approval, "I also have another task for you..."

"Yes?"

"Bruno Dante... I want him dealt with. He threatened to kill them both. Make sure there is no evidence that can link it to me... or Ian and the Wielder."

"Kenneth he's not ready to take Ian's place in that way." Immo protests.

"Christian your orders are to remove Dante from our way." Kenneth goes over to his desk opening a drawer he removes a small box carrying it over to Christian "Use this."

Christian opens the box to find a single bullet engraved with a Bull. "Yes sir."

"Kill no one else but Dante." Kenneth says he pats Christian's cheek "Go rest tomorrow you will be ready."

Christian bows walking out of the room.

"Kenneth I'd strongly advise you to wait on this."

"He'll be fine. Unlike Ian I think Christian will take orders without question, at least for a while."

"I just hope you'll be able to control him Kenneth. Ian was controllable but Christian even though he is a full grown adult with the memories he's still in some ways a child."

Kenneth waves his hand "I'm sure Christian will be fine."
MIDAFTERNOON: CAR

Ian looks at Sara facing him. "What is on your mind?"

Sara shrugs "Just wondering something." When he lifts his brow she continues. "Is the other one like you?"

"Other than looking like me." Ian shrugs "I wouldn't know. Kenneth never told me about him... I found out on accident. I never told Kenneth I knew." He looks at their laced fingers briefly "Why did you ask?" He looks back at the road.

"Just wondering if I'm going to end up having to deal with another pain in the ass cryptic guy." Sara smirks.

"Who me?" Ian asks innocently as he brushes his lips across her knuckles his eyes on the road.

"Who else?" Sara rolls her eyes, "There are only three pains in the ass cryptic guys in my life. And two of them I can stand most of the time."

"Most of the time?" Ian asks feigning hurt.

"Hey you do tend to piss me off Nottingham. But you haven't in a while." She squeezes his hand reassuringly.

"Good." He nods glancing at Sara.

After a few moments, Sara speaks "OK this whole clone thing is driving me nuts."

"Why?"

"If Kenneth cloned you then how is it the other one is full-grown?"

"I'm not sure of the specifics... one of the doctor's figured out how to speed up his aging from Kenneth's aging. I guess he figured that if I knew I'd get upset."

"Are you?" Sara questions shrugging "I'm still trying to figure out your emotions considering the few times you've ever shown them."

"Kenneth didn't like it when I showed them." Ian says absently.

"Everyone shows them."

"Kenneth doesn't like them. Whenever I cried I was punished, after a while I stopped crying." He pauses glancing at Sara. "You're the only one who's ever let me react."

*Ian sitting on some stairs looking up at a noose hanging above him, "I didn't want to do it."

"Why did you?"

"He did not like how the boy's work was going. Father thought the boy's work was getting too realistic."*

Ian flinches at the memory. "I think the real reason he wanted Sylvester Marcus dead was because he believed that his work was influencing me."

"How so?" Sara asks.

"He believed that what Sly was writing was becoming prophetic in my behavior and his own."

"Is that why you told me?"

"I knew you'd figure it out sooner or later. I thought it would be better if I told you."

"You sounded sad then." Sara remarks.

"I never liked killing people who didn't deserve it."

Sensing his sadness Sara squeezes his hand "I'm getting antsy can we take a break from driving?"

"Sure" Ian nods "There's a park at the next pull off."

"Ian does this whole clone thing bother you?"

Ian shrugs. "Somewhat. One of the things that I am bothered by is that I don't know about what Kenneth created him to ultimately do." 'How he feels about you.' Ian takes the next exit he's silent as he pulls into the parking lot of the park. Turning off the engine, he gets out as Sara also gets out. They walk in silence through the empty park when they find a spot underneath a tree and they sit down.

"Something else is bothering you." Sara remarks looking at Ian.

Ian looks at Sara then away "What bothers me is that I don't know how the other feels about you."

"Why does that bother you?" Sara asks.

"I don't know how he'll react to you. If his feelings for you are the same as mine, or if Kenneth somehow managed to remove that information from his memories and replace them with something else."

Knowing what he's referring to yet not wanting to get into the discussion Sara speaks, "What would he accomplish in keeping the other from knowing some parts of your memory?"

"It would keep him loyal to Kenneth." Ian looks at Sara. "My loyalty only came into question when we finally met. He never knew that I had some memories of the past. I kept it from him because I knew if I told Kenneth that I had memories that he had no say in that there would be punishments."

"Maybe the other will manage to get around Irons control." She tilts her head, "What memories do you have?" She asks curiously.

"I don't know them in order and most of them occurred as faint dreams until I met you. Once I met you they changed... occurred more often. And not just when I was sleeping."

"What do you remember?"

"Meeting you for the first time. Kissing you, being with you. The times you died before me. The times I died before you." He flinches looking at his hands. "If he has none of those memories how is he to keep from believing Father's words?"

"I guess we'll find out if he finds us." Sara shoves her hands into her jacket pockets.

"Cold?"

"A little." Sara admits.

Ian sits back against the tree then lifts Sara to on sit on his lap he pulls his overcoat around her. "Better?" he asks softly.

Sara nods leaning against his chest "Yeah."

Ian kisses her head "Sara... I'm sorry all of this happened."

"Not your fault." Sara tilts her head back meeting his brown eyes. "Besides you did save my ass again." She brushes her lips across his jaw. "We'll just have to figure out what to do with the other when the time comes."

Ian brings his hand to her cheek he searches her eyes before kissing her gently. He wraps his arms around her.
LATE EVENING: HOTEL ROOM

Sara leans down kissing Ian's cheek as he sits at his laptop working. "Ian."

"Hmm" Ian glances at her

"I'm going to go do a couple loads of laundry next door."

"Want me to come with you?"

"I'll be fine." When Ian looks at her worry evident in his eyes, Sara kisses him. "Finish what your doing. I'll be back in a couple hours." She scratches at his beard smiling as he nuzzles into her touch. Reluctantly she straightens up grabbing the duffle bag filled with their dirty clothes. "Have fun" she calls walking out of the room.

Ian turns his attention back to his laptop.
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER {SEX}

Sara enters the hotel room with the duffle bag of clean clothes. She shakes her head slightly as she notices Ian leaning against the wall staring out the sliding glass door. 'He's in deep thought mode again.' She sets the duffle bag on the floor walking over to him. "Hey." She slips her arm into his.

Ian glances at Sara then out the window, "His name is Christian."

"Who's Christian?" Sara inquires confused at Ian's words.

"That's what Kenneth calls the other."

"Your middle name" Sara remembers.

Ian nods "I called Immo. He's always tried to be truthful with me, sometimes he's more truthful then Kenneth."

"What else did he say about the other?"

"Not much. I knew better then to ask him too much."

Sara slips her arms around his chest "What else did he say?"

"He said that Kenneth is not heeding his warning about Christian's stability with others."

"Anything else?"

"No. Just what I already knew, Fa... Kenneth's furious not just at us but at Dante as well."

"Good now those two can piss each other off for a while." Sara says dryly. "Leave us alone."

Ian smiles slightly looking at Sara "Perhaps, but I would not count on that."

'God I love seeing that smile.' Sarfts fts her hand to his cheek guiding his lips to hers.

At the kiss, Ian turns pulling her close.

Sara sighs into the kiss her arms going around his shoulders.

Ian presses her into the wall the kiss becoming even more intense.

As she feels Ian's hands unbutton her jeans, Sara pulls off her shirt as Ian pulls her jeans down. She gasps as he lifts her against the wall she shoves his pants down he steps out of them thole ole time their lips remain locked in a searing kiss.

Ian thrusts into her with a growl his forehead resting against hers one hand against the wall the other around her waist. He kisses her roughly, whispering her name as he starts to move.

"Oh Ian." Sara moans leaning back against the wall. "Ian." She meets his movements then gasps as he lifts her higher his mouth latching onto her breast.
SAME TIME: 1111 FAUST

Kenneth stares into the fireplace controlling his body's reaction to the pleasure that fills him. Feeling the sexual tension fade he stands going up to the balcony he frowns when he sees Christian fast asleep not seeming to feel the surge of lust and power that he feels emanating from Ian and the Wielder. 'Interesting, it seems as though he is lacking this level of connection to them'
HOTEL

Sara runs her fingers down Ian's neck as they lean against the wall both breathing heavily at the intensity of their release. Sara chuckles lightly.

"What?" Ian looks at her.

"Irons definitely felt that one."

Ian chuckles smoothing her damp hair back. "Mmm." He nods stepping back from the wall keeping his arms around Sara he carries her over to the bed he puts her down on the bed laying down next to her. He smiles faintly as Sara snuggles back into him.

Sara brushes her lips over his arm then she lifts her head looking back at him and smiles faintly before laying her head on his arm. 'It feels good to be with him. I never would have believed I'd end up on the run with him... let alone end up in bed with him.' She rubs her cheek against his arm.

'She is so incredible.' He looks at Sara, 'How am I to deal with the other and keep Sara safe at the same time?'

Sara snuggles back into him smiling sleepily as he wraps his arms around her.

Ian watches Sara drift off in his arms. He smiles kissing her head as he reaches over turning off the lamp. Once he hears her breathing and heart even out he brushes his lips over her shoulder as he pulls the sheet up covering them. "I love you Sara." He says softly.
CHAPTER 5

EARLY MORNING: HOTEL ROOM {Sex}

Sara slowly awakens at the feeling of Ian's hands moving over her body. "Ian." She sighs meeting his golden gaze "Morning."

"Morning."

"How are you feeling?" Sara inquires touching his face gently.

Ian nods "I am fine."

Sara leans in kissing him gently "Good."

Ian cups her cheek rubbing his thumb across her lower lip. He leans in kissing her in return. He pulls back searching her gaze.

Sara smiles at the faint innocence in his eyes. She shifts him to his back straddling his hips. Her eyes on his as she trail her hands over his chest and stomach as she slowly lowers herself onto him. "Ian." She sighs in pleasure. Slowly she starts to move biting on her lower lip as Ian's warm hands move down her sides and over her breasts.

Ian slides his hands over her body, "Sara." He says awed at the sight of her body. He sits up pulling her close he presses his lips to her neck meeting her own measured movements. "So beautiful." He lifts his head from her shoulder smoothing her hair back.

Sara whimpers her hands going to his shoulders as she moves faster. She meets his mouth in a searing, carnal kiss as his arms pull her close meeting her movements. "Ian," She whimpers into his mouth, "so good." She sighs as he starts lifting her hips moving in and out of her. Soon she feels the beginning of her release.

*Ian

Christian

Sara

Sara kissing Ian

Sara kissing Christian while Ian watches*

At the same time the flash occurs, cries of intense pleasure fill the room. Sara leans into Ian's shoulder, 'What was that? Why would I have a flash of kissing the clone? Why would Ian be watching?' She glances at her wrist. 'Stupid thing.'

Ian runs his hand down Sara's back as he brings his body under control. 'Why would Sara be kissing Christian? Why would I be watching?' He presses his lips to Sara's hair. 'Is she going to leave and go to him?' He asks himself as Sara looks at him he smiles faintly. 'No I do not think she will... at least not while Kenneth is controlling him.'

Sara brushes her lips over his. "How about we go take a shower?" She suggests scratching at his beard.

"As you wish." He presses his lips to her fingertips.
WHILE LATER: 1111 FAUST

Christian enters the study where he finds Kenneth waiting.

"Good morning Christian. How did you sleep?"

"Fine" Christian replies.

"No dreams? No nightmares?"

"No sir."

Kenneth nods "Good. Will you be ready to go deal with Dante tonight?"

"Yes sir."

"I want you to concentrate on locating Ian and the Wielder until tonight."

"Yes sir."

"Oh yes Dr. Immo would like to see you this morning."

"I will go see him immediately."

Kenneth waves his hand in dismissal.
LATE MORNING: HOTEL ROOM

"Hey Pez."

Sara jumps. "Damn it Danny! How many times have I told you not to do that." She turns glaring at him.

"So where's Nottingham?"

"Coffee run." Sara replies.

"You've turned him into a coffee runner." Danny shakes his head

"So why are you here?"

"Just came to check in."

"No vague warnings? No cryptic messages?

"Nothing but the normal warnings."

Sara glances at her wrist then looks up to find Danny gone. "I hate when he does that." She shakes her head as Ian enters carrying a cup of coffee.

"Are you ready to go?" Ian asks handing Sara her coffee.

"Do we have too?" She whines.

Amused by her tone Ian nods "Yes."

"No fun."

Ian shakes his head knowing her grumbling is her coffee need talking. "Drink your coffee Sara." He picks up her duffle bag as she pulls on her jacket.
MIDAFTERNOON: 1111 FAUST

"Christian how is your search for your predecessor going?" Kenneth inquires as the clone stands before him.

"I have not located him. I believe they are still on this coast."

"After Dante is dealt with you will focus all your attention on finding them... unless otherwise ordered."

"Yes sir" Christian nods

"Do you have everything?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Return by midnight." Kenneth waves his hand in dismissal.

Christian bows his head then strides out of the room.
LATE THAT NIGHT: DANTE'S ROOM

Christian sneaks into the bedroom looking at the sleeping cop. He winces as a memory fills him.

*The Wielder, running through the halls of Vorschlag with his predecessor, as cops shoot at them.

"PETZINI" Dante yells "BITCH YOUR DEAD"*

Bruno Dante suddenly awakens feeling his bed shift. He finds himself on his back staring up at the figure above him his knee on his neck. He struggles for a moment only to find a gun in his face. A hand covers his mouth still holding him down.

Christian leans down "You will never insult her again."

Dante stares at the man over him "Nottingham?" he says.

Hearing the mumble Christian ignores him. "My Employer says hello... and goodbye." He pulls the trigger watching the Police Captain die from a single gunshot to the chest. After a moment of confusing emotions, Christian stands silently walking out of the room.
SAME TIME: HOTEL ROOM

Ian awakens with a start his heart pounding.

At the sudden movement Sara opens her eyes looking up at Ian, "Ian what's wrong?"

"Christian..."

"What about him?" Sara questions sitting up she wraps her arms around him feeling his tension.

"He just killed someone." Ian says pained. "It felt like I was the one who pulled the trigger." He runs his hands over his face. "It was me... he is me."

"No he isn't. Granted he has your DNA and memories but he's not you... he doesn't understand who he should be. All he knows is what Irons allows."

"It felt like I had pulled the trigger."

"Well you didn't." Sara hugs him pressing her lips to his shoulder.

Ian turns burying his face in her neck wrapping his arms around her waist. "Sara." He whispers sadly. After a moment, Ian lifts his head gazing at his Wielder.

Seeing the pain and hurt in his eyes Sara shifts moving onto his lap her legs on either side of his hips, her arms around his shoulders feeling him trembling she presses her lips to his dark hair. "It'll be OK Ian." She soothes gently rocking him. "It'll be OK baby." She whispers stroking his back as she gently rocks him as he silently cries into her shoulder. 'Damn you Irons.' She presses her lips to his hair.
MIDNIGHT: 1111 FAU

Christian stands in the shower allowing the pounding hot water to scour his body. 'Is this what my brother hated? I could feel anger... disgust. Why do I feel as though my loyalty is not to my Master? What caused my brother to abandon his duty to our Master?' He sighs, 'It is her... the Wielder... he left for her. Why did he leave?' He turns off the shower stepping out he quickly dries off making his way to his bed. 'It is not my concern. My duty is to return them to my Master.'
HOTEL {SEX}

"Sara" Ian whispers.

Hearing the pain and need in his voice and feeling his erection at her entrance she kisses him gently, "Its OK Ian." She lifts her hips sighing as he stretches her. She nuzzles his cheek "Better?"

Ian nods against her shoulder.

Sara lays down with Ian buried deep inside her, his body on top of hers. She tangles her fingers in his hair, her legs around his waist. With her free hand she pulls the covers over them, "Get some sleep baby." She kisses his head. "If you want me its OK." She soothes.

Ian nods drifting off to sleep, feeling safe joined with his Lady.

Sara runs her fingers down his neck listening to his breathing even out she follows him into a dreamless sleep enjoying the feel of Ian buried inside her.
MORNING: HOTEL ROOM

Sara sits on the bed tying her shoes as she listens to the news.

"Last night, in New York City, Captain Bruno Dante was found dead of a gun shot to the chest. So far there are no suspects or witnesses."

Startled Sara looks at the TV screen then at Ian to see him pause in buttoning his shirt. "Damn." She mutters.

"Christian." he says walking to the balcony.

Sara sighs rubbing her forehead almost sensing his thoughts and self blame.

'It is my fault he did this. I may not have liked Dante but Christian is part of me.'

"Ian will you stop blaming yourself."

Ian glances at Sara "I can't help it. It's my fault he is there."

"No it isn't. Irons might have woken him regardless of where you were or what happened." She wraps her arms around his chest her chin on his shoulder. "But that's not what you really mean is it?"

Ian shrugs "Sara you were right... he is part of me... in some odd way he is my family."

"True." She frowns "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking maybe I should go meet him. Or let him find me."

"Ian you aren't thinking of letting him take you back to Irons?!" She exclaims.

"No... maybe if I talk with him, I can fill in the missing memories. Perhaps then, he will leave us alone. Or maybe I can convince him to leave Kenneth as well."

Sara kisses his neck "Whatever you think is best."

Ian pulls back and silently finishes dressing.

Sara watches from the corner of her eyes as Ian finishes dressing, 'He's feeling guilty. How am I supposed to help him?' She mentally shakes her head. 'No thinking of that right now. Its too early in the morning.' She sits down taking a sip of her coffee. "You aren't OK with this clone stuff are you?"

Ian pauses "I have no choice in this matter. He exists and I will have to deal with him sooner or later." He says truthfully, "Are you OK with all of this?"

At his question, Sara remembers her vision of kissing the clone and the feelings the kiss invoked. "I'm not sure," she shrugs "The whole idea of cloning I've never liked but Irons having the ability and resources do it is even worse."

Ian nods "I know"

Sara stands going over to him brushing her lips over his "But my feelings of the whole thing aren't as important as yours." she scratches at his beard smiling as he turns into her touch. "We need to get going." she says reluctantly steps out of his arms. She regards Ian as he grabs his overcoat.
SAME TIME: 11TH PRECINCT

"I'm telling you guys... Pezzini killed him." Orlanksi states looking at Jake and Burgess.

"No I doubt it... I mean why take a chance the second time." Jake asks "Besides no one has seen her since she left... or Nottingham."

Burgess demands

"Nah... not her style."

"So who?"

"Perhaps the heads ordered it." Orlanski muses

Jake shrugs "Possible."

"What are we going to do?" Burgess asks

"Have to wait until the new Captain shows up" Orlanksi shrugs "then once there's more info we'll start looking for whoever killed Dante and find out if that bitch and her lapdog did."

'I don't think they did. Even though Nottingham's a freak, I don't think Pez would let him kill for her. Nor would she kill if not in self-defense.' he runs his fingers through his hair.
AFTERNOON: CAR

"Well no more Dante" Sara remarks dryly "they probably think I actually did it this time." she rubs the bracelet stone.

"Why do you think that?"

Sara lifts her brow "OK where were you the last few days. We got into this mess because I lost my temper."

"They can also think I did it." Ian shrugs "Well technically I did."

"No you didn't."

"Yes well their guess of me is closer then saying 'oh it's the clone.'"

Sara unable to help it giggles at Ian's tone.

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just funny..."

"Why?"

"Because now you can say 'Oh I didn't do it. It was my clone' and it would be the full truth."

Ian chuckles "True."

"Oh I know... you two could switch places and mess with Irons head like in Parent Trap."

Ian shakes his head "I think Kenneth would be able to tell us apart."

"Probably. But it would be funny." Sara laughs

"I bet it would." Ian chuckles lightly he reaches out smoothing his hand over her head. His eyes still on the road he laces their fingers. He drives in silence occasionally glancing at Sara. 'She is so incredibly beautiful.'

"I should call Jake" Sara says suddenly.

Ian looks at her "Why?"

"He needs to know that neither of us killed Dante. If he is a Fed later on he might be able to help us out of all this trouble."

Ian nods "It is your choice."
SAME TIME: 1111 FAUST

Christian kneels in the corner of his bedroom trying to meditate. His mind crowded by thoughts and memories. 'Why do I feel like this? Why do I feel like some memories are foggy? Why did my brother leave? He never would have deserted our Master without good reason.' He takes a deep breath trying to rid

himself of the confusing thoughts and feelings.
LITTLE LATER: PARKING LOT

Sara dials the familiar number waiting impatiently for the blonde ex-surfer to pick up. "Come on Jake" she mutters

"McCartey"

"Hey McCartey... or should I call you Agent McCartey?"
SAME TIME: 11TH PRECINCT

Jake closes the door of his office "Where are you?" he demands "you are in serious trouble."

"So were you going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"Oh gee that your Barney... that your a fed stupid."

"I'm not" Jake argues

"Whatever you say McCartey. Look I just called to tell you I didn't take out Dante... neither did Ian."

"Why should I believe you?" Jake demands "He's a killer"
PARKING LOT

Sara lifts her hand to Ian's cheek smiling as he nuzzles into her touch "No he isn't"

"Then who took him out?"

"Irons who else"

"Why? His pet monkey's no longer there!"

"I can't tell you that. However, I can tell you that Ian and I didn't kill Dante. The gun that had the White Bulls bullet that I was close to shooting Dante with, I left it behind when we left. Ian doesn't have one of those."

"What are you talking about?" Jake demands

"I have to go." After a second Sara sighs "Be careful with the Bulls Jake... they won't hesitate to kill you." She hangs up setting the phone down she trails her fingers over Ian's face as he nuzzles into her palm. She leans down kissing him lightly then smiles.

Ian smiles pressing his lips into her palm, "It is getting cold... we should return to the car." He stands helping Sara to her feet.

Once in the car Sara speaks "OK Nottingham we've been gone three days and you still haven't told me much about you."

"What do you want to know?" he asks

"Hmm let's see I know you definitely like black, weapons, books, and martial arts. What else?"

"Ask and I will answer."

"Not going to volunteer anything?"

Ian shrugs

"OK then... did you have a stuffed animal as a kid?"

"Yes."

"What was it?"

"A bear named... Robin." he answers

"What happened to it?"

Ian winces "Kenneth threw him in the fireplace. Said warriors don't need teddy bears." He says almost sadly.

"Sorry. How old were you?"

"Seven I think."

"Who gave you the bear?"

Ian shrugs "I don't remember. I just remember having him."

Sara nods "OK next question... what was the stupidest thing you did as a kid?"

Ian frowns "I don't remember."

Sara nods "Did Irons ever tell you bedtime stories?"

Ian smiles faintly "Yes."

"You're kidding?!"

"No."

"Wow I just can't see Kenneth being paternal in anyway."

"He used to be." Ian says sadly, "But as I got older things changed."

Sara nods "What was your favorite bedtime story?"

"About the Wielders." He smiles slightly "Every night he could he'd take me through the collection and let me choose which Wielder I wanted to hear about. That's how I learned all about the Wielders."

"I still can't see that." Sara says

"I know" he squeezes her hand

"You spent a lot of time with him as a child huh."

"Yes. Until he sent me to Japan when I was 13."

"What did you do in Japan?"

"Training."

"How long were you there?"

"On and off over ten years. I left the States when I was 13 and only moved back full-time, five years ago, after the Black Dragons had been disbanded. Then he allowed me back for good."

Sara nods regarding him "What about friends?"

"Kenneth never allowed anyone other than my trainers, my doctors, and himself to stay long enough for me to get attached too. Any sign of me getting close to anyone and he'd send them away." He says sadly

"Harsh"

Ian shrugs "I had to concentrate on training and learning for your appearance."

Sara sits there for a moment thinking of a new question trying to build up to the questions she really wants answered. "All right first crush?"

Ian shakes his head "Never had one" he glances at Sara "until you" he finishes shyly.

"Never?" Sara says shocked yet pleased at the knowledge.

"No. I was too busy with my studies."

"OK I can see that." Sara says thoughtfully smiling at the thought of young Ian reading. "Favorite comic book character as a kid?"

"Um Spiderman or Batman."

"Why am I not surprised." Sara says shaking her head.

"You?"

"Archie's Jughead" she answers sheepishly

Ian smiles "Why?"

"Because he was always misunderstood. He looked like an idiot and acted like one but he always seemed to find the answer even if it was on accident."

Ian nods

"First girlfriend?"

Ian looks at her briefly "Never had one." He rubs his thumb over her knuckles "I had to study and train."

"And Kenneth's obsession with not allowing you to be emotionally attached to anyone." Sara remarks sadly.

"Yes." Ian says he kisses her hand, "Until you I never allowed myself to become attached to anyone because if I did the person would be fired... or killed." He flinches, "When he found out I took the money he warned me not to get attached... but it was too late." He looks at her "It was too late years ago... even before I saw you in person. I became more attached when I saw you... touched you."

Sara looks at his gloved hand holding hers. With her other hand she tenderly removes his glove. She meets his eyes and smiles lacing their fingers "You rarely touch me without the gloves."

"I'm so used to wearing them all day that I put them on by habit and only take them off when need be" he shrugs

Sara looks at his hand trailing her fingers over his hand seeing faint scars on his knuckles "How'd you get these?"

"Fights." Ian answers well aware of her soft touch "Punishments"

Sara pushes his shirtsleeve up trailing her fingers over the Dragon tattoo on his inner forearm. "When did you get this?"

"After we finished our training." he glances at the tattoo briefly

"Didn't Kenny boy freak?"

"No. It was how they'd have identified us if we were ever killed." At Sara's look he explains "The only records of us at the time were so far off record that we'd never have been identified. That means we no longer have medical records and no fingerprints on record. But if the tattoos were mentioned in the news or anything they'd know one was dead."

"Are all the tattoos the same?"

"No. The differences are very slight... the doctors, us and Kenneth are the only ones who know which tattoo belongs to who."

"Well it definitely fits your personality" Sara snickers

Ian lifts his brow "You going to tell me how you got your tattoo?"

Sara groans at the mention of the small heart tattoo on her ankle. "I don't really remember. I went out with Maria and some friends to party on the night of our high school graduation and woke up the next morning with that and a killer hangover. Maria told me it had something to do with a bet we made. But she got drunk too so who knows if she was telling the truth." she shrugs "What I want to know is... why the hell did I end up with a heart?!"
Ian smiles "Well I think it suites you."

"You would" Sara snorts punching his forearm

"OW" Ian winces

Sara rolls her eyes "Baby"

"No I'm not. You caught me off guard." he grumbles

Sara kisses his cheek. "Your cute when you grumble." She teases "So is that why you always wear long sleeved shirts?" she asks brushing her fingers over the tattoo.

Ian nods "Kenneth doesn't want anyone to see it... too many questions."

"Does Christian have one as well?"

Ian shrugs "I didn't see one but he could have one." He glances at Sara every so often as she absently traces his tattoo while staring out the window.
8PM: 1111 FAUST

Christian stares at the map pinned up on the wall. 'Where are you brother? Where did you take the lovely Wielder?' he goes over to his computer sitting down he stares at the screen.
DOWNSTAIRS

Kenneth stares into the fireplace rubbing the back of his hand 'I hope you are enjoying yourself Ian. I will get you both back here. I will get what is mine... Sara and the Blade.' he smiles faintly "Soon. Enjoy young ones." He closes his eyes enjoying the sexual feelings, 'You are certainly learning from the Wielder, Ian. You both have incredible stamina.'
SAME TIME: HOTEL {SEX}

Ian enters the bathroom to find Sara in the shower.

Sensing Ian's eyes on her Sara looks at the door. She swallows heavily at the look in his eyes intense lust and... love. She lifts her brow "You going to join me or what?" She asks with a smirk. She turns her back to him standing under the water. She senses him enter the shower feeling his eyes on her.

Ian slides his arm around her waist pulling her wet naked body back against him. He presses his lips to her neck licking away a drop of water.

Sara turns in his arms smiling at him she reaches up touching his face. Instantly she finds herself drawn into quick flashes of the Wielders making love to the same man... different name but still the same. She shivers, feeling all the emotions that the Wielders had felt at the time with the man before her. She stares at him then finds herself pinned against the shower wall Ian's mouth on hers kissing her fiercely... desperately.

Ian releases her lips after a few seconds of intense kissing he stares at her breathing heavily. "Sara" he says staring at her through the water pouring over them. He lifts her up against the shower wall hissing as he enters her swiftly and roughly.

"Ian" Sara whimpers at the feeling her eyes closing she rests her head back against the wall focusing on the feeling of Ian buried inside her.

"Sara?" he says concerned

Sara smiles opening her eyes to see his brown eyes filled with concern. She kisses him lightly telling him she's OK. "Mmm" she purrs rolling her hips urging him on. "Want to see if we can make Irons pass out?" she smirks against his lips

"Worth a try" Ian chuckles "or at least make him incredibly tired."

"Enough Irons talk" Sara kisses him roughly thrusting her hips against his urging him on.
SAME TIME: IRONS STUDY

Kenneth growls angrily pacing the floor trying to keep his body under control. "She turns to him! He is nothing." he hisses leaning against the wall his body trembling. He clenches his fists resting his forehead against the cool wall.
HOTEL {SEX}

Sara whimpers rolling her head to the side as Ian kisses and bites at her neck as he moves long and slow. She runs her nails lightly down his back squirming against him. "Ian," she groans lifting her hips needing more. "harder... please!" she meets his golden gaze. As he speeds up his movements, she moans her eyes drifting closed marveling in the intensity of the feelings.

"Sara look at me" Ian growls not getting a response he stops moving grimacing knowing how close they both are. "Sara" he says softly

Sara whimpers opening her eyes "Ian, please" she begs squirming "so close. Please baby." as he starts to move again her eyes drift shut "harder." she pleads

"No Sara," Ian says standing still his teeth clenched "look at me Sara."

Sara moans "Stop teasing me" she hisses feeling the glove form she digs her fingers into his shoulder causing him to wince.

"Open your eyes my Sara" once she does he starts moving "I want to see your eyes"

"Nottingham" she whimpers her eyes locked on his. She rocks her hips against his. As he starts moving again she smiles meeting his thrusts "Ian" she gasps her body tensing "IAN!" She cries out.

Feeling her climax Ian growls her name his own body tensing. He presses her back against the wall still buried inside her one arm against the wall the other around wai waist. He rests his head against her shoulder. "I love you Sara" he says softly not knowing if she heard him not caring if she did.

Through the haze of her deafening climax, Sara hears his soft admission but pretends she doesn't. She shivers feeling the warm shower cool.

Ian lifts his head "Sara?"

"Water cold."

"Don't want that." he smiles kissing her gently he sets her on her feet turning off the shower. He looks at Sara leaning against the wall. "Sara?"

"That was... wow" she sighs then yelps as Ian opens the shower door letting in cold air. "Cold now" she says rubbing her arms.

Ian grabs a large towel wrapping it around Sara as she steps out of the shower. "Better?"

"Hate being cold after a shower." she grumbles halfheartedly as she takes in Ian's naked form as he quickly dries off. She feels another wave of intense lust fill her body.

Ian meets Sara's gaze seeing the lust in her green eyes. Soon he finds himself kissing her again as they sink to the bathroom floor.

Sara shoves him on his back kissing and nipping her way down his body.
SAME TIME: IRONS STUDY

Kenneth growls angrily at the feelings that fill him instinctively knowing the two are at each other again. He stares at the TV screen confused why he's having reactions to the Wielder and Ian's sexual activities while Christian isn't. "There must be a reason." he mutters rubbing the scar on his hand.
COUPLE OF HOURS LATER: HOTEL ROOM

"Well we made it to bed" Sara laughs curling a strand of Ian's hair around her finger as his head rests on her shoulder his fingers absently tracing the entwined circles on her chest.

Ian chuckles "It took a few tries."

"Yeah the bathroom floor, Bathroom door, the table, the couch, then finally the bed."

Ian shrugs "What can I say... your addictive." he kisses her neck. "Before you being able to do normal things like touching," he traces the scar, "kissing" he lifts his head brushing his lips against hers "and sex were the last things on my mind."

Sara lifts her brow "You're kidding me?"

"No"

"What about when you were a teenager? You weren't a hormonal teenager with girls on his mind all the time?"

"No," at her look he explains "It's not like I didn't know about sex and stuff I just never thought about it outside my lessons and Kenneth's lectures and rantings. And the flashes."

"You must've been the only teenage boy without sex on his mind all the time" Sara says amazed

Ian shrugs "Since I was a boy Kenneth told me not to think about doing things normal people do, since I'm not normal."

"Remind me to beat the hell out of him for saying that." Sara says dryly then smirks "Then again there is one way you definitely aren't normal"

"Oh really? How is that?"

"Only guy I know to go five rounds of mind-blowing sex and still be wide awake and cuddly."

Ian rhis his cheek against her shoulder slowly pressing a light kiss to her neck. "Its late you should get some sleep."

"I'm not tired."

"Humor me Sara."

"Oh fine my bossy Stalker"

Ian leans over turning off the lamp and pressing off on the remote control. He smiles at Sara kissing her gently before laying down next to her pulling the covers up.

"So where are we going next?" Sara asks

"We'll figure it out in the morning."

"'k" Sara says sleepily.
