When she walked into the living room Gaby was reading a book and smiled up at her kindly. They said nothing to each other as Amelia headed for the door. She grabbed her keys and headed for her car. As she turned the corner she watched as Solo leaned up against the car throwing a rock up and down catching it in his hand.

"Have you been waiting for me?" She asked and he didn't bother to catch the rock as it came down again. He looked up at her.

"I said I would help you clean the shop up." He nodded.

She tilted her head and narrowed her eyes at him. "You are going to get us in trouble." She said walking up to him. "Illya will get suspicious." She said quietly.

"I am just helping you clean up the mess." He shrugged it off and opened the passenger side door for her. "Now get in or I'm leaving without you." he gave her a smirk and she sighed but did as he said.

Their drive was filled with light conversation. He told her stories and she listened intently and laughed when he told her something embarrassing or funny. She enjoyed her time with Solo but she couldn't help but feel anxious. And when they pulled up to the shops store front she stopped talking and stared out the window.

"You alright?" Solo asked as he opened her door for her. She hadn't even noticed him get out.

"Not really." She shook her head but got out of the car anyway. She sighed as she looked into her store.

"Come on, it won't take long." He nodded and walked in first. She waited a minute and followed. She walked into her office and found a broom, while Solo picked up some of the glass and the pot he broke.

They were both quiet as they cleaned. She didn't know what to say and he just wanted to help her clean so she could come back and not have to remember what happened. She put in a call for a window repair and they both waited for the contractor to show up. She explained to him that someone had broken the window to get in. He assessed the window and went back to his shop to see if he could bring a cut of glass to fix it.

Solo and Amelia sat in her office while they waited for the contractor. They both were quiet and Amelia just stared at her feet. She didn't want to be in the shop and it only made her afraid. She didn't want Hernando to come back or what he did to haunt her forever.

"Do you have other employees?" Solo finally asked when he saw how stressed out she looked.

"No. Could never afford it." She smirked. "One would really come in handy right about now." She shrugged.

"Amelia Carvey?" A loud and booming voice rang out from the front.

Solo stood first. "Wait." She stopped him and rushed in front of him. "Stay here." He ordered.

"Why?" He asked.

"I called the cops earlier. I want them to find Hernando and put him in jail for what he did to us." She huffed. "But you can't be seen." She said.

"Why?" He asked again.

"Well you won't be in hiding if your name appears in a police report." She rolled her eyes at him. He nodded.

Amelia spent the next half hour talking to the cop. She explained that she had come to check on her shipments when she noticed someone had broken in. She was then attacked and she fought back as best she could but he ran off. She gave the cop Hernando's name and address and a description of him. He listened and assured her that they would find him. She thanked the man and watched him leave. Within that time the contractor had come and fixed the window. She thanked and paid the man and he left as well.

"Thank you for helping me today." Amelia said as she stood in the door way of her office.

"You are very welcome." He nodded as he sat on the corner of her desk.

"So what now?" She asked with a shrug.

"I don't know. What now?" he smirked a bit. She shrugged again. "Why don't we head back." He added.

"Okay." She was expecting something else but was ready to leave. They walked outside and she got in the car and he was quick to leave.

When the arrived back at her house she walked in side quickly. Her head was pounding and wanted to take something to make it stop. Solo watched as she said nothing and went to her room. "Cowboy." He heard Illya whisper from the side door. It was open and he stood waiting for Solo. "Come." he ordered.

Solo stepped out into the backyard where Gaby and Illya waited. They both looked perplexed and unsure. "What?" Solo asked.

"Waverly called." Gaby whispered. Solo's eyes grew a bit.

"How did he know where we were?" He asked and Illya sighed.

"He's been tracking us." Gaby rolled her eyes. "He said he might have a lead on Higgins." She smiled a bit.

"We are to check it out." Illya nodded with his arms crossed and he also whispered. "Tonight."

"Is he close?" Solo asked.

"If the lead check out then yes." Gaby sighed. "He might be in a town a few hours from here."

"Well let's go find him before he finds us." He said standing straight.

"Illya and I will go." Gaby nodded. "You should stay here and keep an eye on Amelia."

"What?" Illya huffed. "She is my sister and I should be the one protecting her."

"And don't you think checking out a lead on someone who might want to kill her is protecting her?" She asked. "Solo has more of a steady mind right now. If anything happens I think he has more patients to deal with it than you would. You are to on edge when she is near danger."

"I agree." Solo nodded. "I'll make sure she stays inside and I'll amp up the security around here."

"Do we tell her?" Gaby asked.

"No." Illya and Solo answered quickly. Illya shot him a confused look.

"She is already shaken up about what happened at the shop. This will just upset her more." Solo nodded and Illya narrowed his eyes.

"Alright." Gaby sighed.

"When do you leave?" Solo asked.

"Fifteen minutes." Illya said. "I have to talk to my sister before we leave." he looked over at Gaby who just nodded.

Illya stepped inside and disappeared down the hall. "Are you good?" He asked turning to Gaby who looked a bit concerned.

"Yes." She straightened up and cleared her throat. "Are you?" She asked looking up to him.

"Of course." He nodded.

Illya stood at Amelia's door and knocked lightly. "Yes?" She called out.

"It's me." He spoke quietly. She came to the door right away and she smiled.

"What is it?" She asked looking at her brother's somber face. "Is everything alright?"

"Of course." He nodded as he followed her into the room. "Gaby and I are going an outing. May be a few days. Two tops." He explained.

"Ouu already taking trips together. How cute." She laughed sitting on the bed and looking up at him towering over next her.

"Not cute." He shook his head. "Information run." he said.

"What does that mean?" She laughed patting the bed so he would sit but he didn't.

"There is someone a few towns over that might have intel for the KGB." He lied but hated doing it. "Solo will stay here to protect you."

"Protect me?" She stood in a panic. "Is there something I should be worried about?" She asked stepping over to him. When he didn't answer right away she grabbed his hand. "Illya?" She asked tilting her head.

"No. You are completely safe." He smiled and se narrowed her eyes at him.

"Why are you lying?" She asked. He sighed and left the bedroom. "Come back here!" She yelled after him. "I should know if something is wrong." She said chasing him into the kitchen. Gaby was waiting by the door and Solo sat on the couch reading the newspaper. "You can't hide things from me anymore." She huffed.

"You are better off not knowing Amelia." He sighed looking at Gaby who just nodded and went outside where a car was waiting.

"S'il vous plaît me dire ce qui se passe." (please tell me what's going on.) She begged and he sighed. "Il suffit de rester ici . Ça va bien se passer." (Just stay here. It will be alright.) He said taking her hand and kissing the top of her head. He was then quick to leave. Amelia stood a bit confused. She stared at the closed door and felt her heart drop. "Are we in danger?" She asked turning slowly to see Solo looking over at her from the couch.
