Wells. Helena Wells. [ She was starting with the simplest thing, allowing her to use the time after her answer for her to think. Prior to handing the Astrolabe over to the Brotherhood Helena was always cautious, always away. Afterwards? She'd taken time then to live. She was no longer a part of the Warehouse, she was a free woman, and other than her call to Myka she'd beenuninvolved, and perhaps a little lax in being as cautious as she could be.

But being free, and having that normal life was a beautiful thing that she loved. And she'd enjoyed it enough to want to have her guard down - it certainly rose less questions in her private life.

But then there was that incident. The artifact that had put Nate and Adelaide in danger. And there had been police reports, if ones that lacked some semblance of truth. But they'd had the initial reports already from the arrests. When it came down to the end? They'd followed suit on the lies ]

There was one moment. It wasn't a stranger, rather a threatening visit from one of the detectives in Boone. [ And if she gave this more thought, which she would now, she might see the pieces fall together as one theory ] There was a report about the matter.

[themuse]

I read the report.

[It hadn't made a lot of sense, but Kate had a feeling there was something missing from the report. She didn't like not having all the information but in this case, it didn't look like Helena's fault.

It did, however, imply she was into something more than she was likely to admit.]

Your boyfriend was involved. And his daughter, right? [Kate assessed her notes again.] We don't have any reason to believe the two events are directly related, though. [Of course they weren't, that would make it too easy.]

[mirabilis]

They weren't involved. [ At least not in the way that Helena herself had been involved, and those were two things that she was keeping separate ] They were used to threaten me, put in danger. [ Nate first, his life directly under threat until they'd bagged the artifact. And then they'd taken Adelaide ]

Are they still in danger? Was there anything in what you found that was about them?

[ If there wasn't then Helena might breathe a little easier - they were only looking into her, not them, and maybe that meant her old life, rather than her current one ]

[themuse]

No, nothing we can find says that whoever's behind this has any interest in them.

[Kate doubted that meant they were out of danger - after all, whoever was behind this might go through them to find Helena. But that wasn't a thought she was going to voice.]

Regardless, I did talk to the police chief in Boone. They'll have units watching the house until this gets cleared up, just in case. They won't be in any danger.

[mirabilis]

Then I'm thankful for that, at least.

[ But there was no sigh of relief - there wouldn't be until Helena was out of New York, until she'd called Nate to check on him and Adelaide and then, finally, until she was home. And when she was convinced that they would all be fine - and safe ]

Would it be too much to see what information there is that this man had on me? At least I could say that it would be nothing that I don't already know.

[ Whether or not that Kate would let her view it was a different matter. She was a suspect in a murder, and a possible victim of this threat. Seeing the evidence? It wasn't usual, but Helena did know her own life, and it was her thought at least that she might be able to see something, or even a small connection that the New York Detective had missed. It was a hope, anyway - she wanted to know what was going on just as much as Kate did ]

[themuse]

[Kate thought on that for a moment. Really, there was nothing in the files that she hadn't already told Helena - or wouldn't be willing to. And if over ten years in law enforcement had taught her anything, it was that there were two kinds of people in the world. The kind that ran towards the battle, and the kind that ran way.

Helena was obviously running. While she might have found out what was going on and killed the man herself, Kate seriously doubted it. The woman was hiding something, certainly, but Beckett wasn't convinced it was related to this case. Not directly, anyway.]

Most of it is your background information. Your address, work history, some... information on Nate and Adelaide. [Helena would likely be deeply disturbed by that bit of information, but there wasn't much Kate could do about that.

She pulled the file from her stack and passed it to Helena. It mostly consisted of the crime scene photos and copies of the research the victim had done of her.]

There's also a mention of something about a warehouse. Take your time looking through it and if there's anything that stands out, let me know.
