Tristan is bored, beyond bored actually. He has to fight himself to keep from checking his phone. He holds tight to Stephanie to keep her from wandering away. Once he gets that phone call he'll be taking her back to the house and to the cells.

Stephanie hisses at how tight his hold is. "Stop trying to leave my side and it won't hurt so much, bitch. I can't wait for when Eva comes back. I'm sure she'll have some very interesting ideas on how to punish the female trying to take her boyfriend." Tristan says giving her the first real smile she's ever seen from him.

"She knows that you've been dating me, she won't want you if she ever gets free." Stephanie tries to get free from Tristan but without drawing attention it is impossible.

"Mmm, partly right. She knows that I was forced to have your company, but she also knows that it wasn't voluntary on my part. She even knows that I only did it to stop her rapes. She really didn't like that. But the part she liked the least?" Stephanie had been ignoring Tristan. When he doesn't continue she looks at him. "The part she liked the least was when she miscarried my child because of how she was treated." Tristan hisses out that last and his persona becomes dark. Once more Stephanie feels her death crawling up her spine.

She finds it hard to breathe until Tristan's phone goes off. Tristan hauls her out of the room into the foyer before he takes out the phone. "She's safe?" Tristan demands as soon as he accepts the call.

"Yeah, she had the compound secured before we got here. I think RJ is going to have nightmares for some time. I've already downloaded the security video of her at work. My team has already taken everything pertinent, that Eva hasn't already sent us, and they have started setting up the charges."

"Good. Go ahead and blow the place once you all are a safe distance. Meet me at the airfield, I don't want to wait for you to drive back."

"Right, see you in a couple of hours then. Oh, Eva saved most of those that were complicit in her rapes. They will be returning with those on the yacht." Lassiter tells his boss before ending the call.

"Very good," Tristan purrs, "I'll make sure that appropriate accommodations are prepared. Batry give you any problems?"

Lassiter snorts, "Him? Please, he's terrified of Eva. He was practically pulling on his guard to get him out of here."

Lassiter's words make Tristan smile brilliantly. "He always was a pussy. He's afraid of my wife then?"

"Afraid? More like terrified, actually." Lassiter says before his phone is taken away from him.

"Tris," Eva says and Tristan can hear tears in her voice.

"Baby, I've missed you so much. I'll see you soon, love." Tristan says holding back his own tears.

"I've missed you too. Tris, do you still want me?" Eva asks, her voice broken.

"Always, Baby, always. Nothing they've done to you has changed that. None of it was your fault. The ones responsible are waiting for me to punish them." Tristan wants to be holding and comforting his wife right that minute and is furious that because of the damn charade he was forced to play he couldn't be.

"I'll see you soon, love." Tristan does his best to reassure Eva.

"The children?"

Tristan smiles gently although Eva can't see it. "They are fine. They miss you terribly though. Calli is ours now. Tom couldn't handle raising her without Gina. We still haven't found out which one pulled the trigger that killed her or why."

"I'll find out for you." Eva's voice is hard and cold and sends shivers down Tristan's back even though he knows it's not directed at him.

"They probably don't even remember me, Tris." It takes Tristan a bit to figure out that they were back to talking about the children.

"They do. They have a photo of us in their room and they have me tell stories about you. Their favorite is the day we met and our date. They especially like how you showed me your street skills." As Tristan hoped that made Eva giggle. "They love and miss you, Eva."

Tristan by then is hauling a very reluctant Stephanie out the doors of the theater and to his car. "I'm on my way, Baby. I just have to deliver Stephanie to her new room. I'll meet you at the airfield."

"I love you, Tris." Eva says softly.

"I love you so much, Eva. I can't say how much I love you. See you soon." Tristan says as his car starts heading home.

"Good news, sir?" Keller asks hopefully. Tristan is happier than they've seen him since Eva was taken.

"The best, Keller, the absolute best. Eva's on her way home." Tristan beams out. Stephanie cowers in her seat. She now realizes that she never had a chance with Tristan Wederer. She just hopes that her death will be quick, but doesn't think it will be.

"That is great news, sir." Keller is thrilled at the news. Tristan had been rather volatile since Eva was taken.

"I'll not be long, keep the car out front."

"Of course sir," Keller tells him smiling. They all like Eva and how she calms the boss down.

Tom meets them in the foyer, "Take this bitch to the cells. I'm sure Lassiter has let you know that Eva is on her way back?"

"Yes, I'm having cells prepared for the men being brought back as well. I've already called the airport and the jet is ready and waiting for you as we speak." Tom hands two bags to Tristan. Tristan recognizes Eva's and can guess that the other is for RJ.

"Thanks, Tom." Tristan says and gives him a hug.

"Bring her back, Tristan. She's been gone far too long already."

"I will."

"Crystal was saying that Eva would be back by morning." Tom throws out before Tristan leaves.

"How did she know?" Tristan demands as he turns back to Tom.

Tom shrugs, "She said that she just knows it. She's very excited. They all are, even Calli."

Tristan smiles at the thought of his baby. "Eva's going to be upset that she missed so much."

"But at least she won't be missing any more." Tom says and Tristan nods as he picks up the bags and goes back out the door.
