"So Wayne's dead, there a drug out there called G-st turning humans into Claw and the manufacturer is still out there nameless and Boss have been acting weird" Race said chewing from his pack of chips, his eyes fixed on the widescreen computer in front of him.

"Could any of this get any worse" he adds.

Kayla growls facing him.

"Just shut up!" she hissed going back to her typing.

"And I haven't asked what you have been up to," he said facing her.

"Well Boss asked me to hack all the cameras in the agency" she answers wanting so badly to shut Race up, he was always a chatterbox, and right now she needed to focus.

"And why would Boss want the cameras in the agency hacked?" he asked puzzled.

"I…Don't…Know" she growls with gritted teethes.

His eyes widen in realization.

"Unless Boss is trying to infiltrate the agency," he said alarmed.

Kayla froze facing him until she let a huff of air escape her lips in disbelieve.

"What? I don't think so, am sure it's about keeping tabs on them I mean what else could it be" she shrugs going back to her work.

"I guess so," Race said with a shrug eating his chips.

"And go eat somewhere else you're distracting me" Kayla hissed.

At the door entrance, Iris stood there with a dark expression as her fist clenched in a tight hold because she knew why he asked Kayla to hack the camera, in anger, she storms off.

Ghoul Investigators Headquarters (GIH)

"Wait meds?" Lorna said puzzled remembering she has already taken her meds for today, in response to that the strange doctor zaps the curtains around covering them, Lorna pales at the action.

"W-who a-are y-you?" she panics as the doctor unravels his face mask taking it off, her breath caught.

"Liam?!" Lorna said in shock, she couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe he was here right here in the agency of all freaking place to be, was he out of his mind?

"You don't look so good," he said in amusement taking a seat on her bed as it deepens from his weight.

"Liam what are you doing here? Are you out of your mind? It's not safe and there are cameras around, how did you get here?".

"I have my ways," he said smirking.

"And besides I said I'm coming back for you and I meant it".

"Well the last time you said that you didn't come, I didn't expect you to this time" she reasons, he slowly reaches for her cheeks rubbing them gently, she shivers at his sudden touch.

"I needed to know you were okay," he said with sad eyes.

"I was worried", it was more like a faint whisper but she heard him, he was worried about her and that made Lorna smile, looking at him right now he looked rowdy, his hair was a bit messy, his jaws had bits of beards that required a shave, his eyes look tired, a flush of worry found her body as she sits up despite the pain she was in, cupping his face.

"Is everything okay?" she asked worried, his gaze shift from her to face downwards.

"When was the last time you slept?" she asked once more.

His gaze found her once more.

"It doesn't matter," he said.

"Liam!"

"I'm just glad you're okay," he said with shaky eyes, this new side of Liam was mysterious to her, she never knew he had this soft nature to him, it was almost impossible to see.

"You don't have to worry about me, luckily the drugs didn't get to my system" she assures him.

He frowns.

"But it did"

"That's what I said" she groans.

"But everyone one thinks it didn't, but my doctor does he said am immune according to him, he said my body fought the drugs which aren't possible" she adds.

"I don't understand"

"Neither do I, Liam, something isn't right, doctor Steve must be keeping something," she said but felt Liam's body tense as his soft looks instantly replace with his usual cold one.

"Is something wrong?" she asked worried of his unreadable expression. He pulls away from her touch.

"When will you be discharged?" he asked his voice cold and distant.

"Weeks from now I guess if my body cooperates" she answers shakily.

"Good see you then," he said rising to his feet.

Confusion and hurt flushed her features, he zaps the curtains open.

"Y-you're leaving already?" she asked, the hurt evident in her tone.

"I won't be able to keep the cameras off me for long, I have to go," he said firmly.

Panic fills her lungs like it was hard for her to breathe, she didn't want him to leave, he took a step forward.

"K-kiss me!" she hissed as he stops instantly, he stood there silent, frozen in place but she surges on.

"L-Liam K-ki-" before any more words, his lips were on her in speed taking her breath away with his hot demanding kiss filled with his conflicted emotions. She moans loudly making Liam gain asses to all corners of her mouth, she needed him no she wants him, she wants his touch, she wants his presence, she didn't know why but she just did. Her fists tighten on her sheets as he deepens the kiss like a dominant battle, she wasn't so sure she could keep up due to how weak she was, she just let Liam have his way with her.

"Liam" she moaned loudly but he pulls away drifting back in sharp breaths, she missed the feel of his lips as did him, he wasn't sure he could stop himself, he didn't understand this pull he had towards her, the moment she muttered the word 'kiss him' all self-control went out the window as it did during the ball, they crossed too many lines to come back from.

Their gaze locked in one another unable to look away.

"Liam", the sweet sound of her voice calls him but he resists turning and walking away slamming the door.

Liam quickly put on his face mask.

'Her scent is intoxicating, it wasn't like this before, how long can we fight it' Ghost growls in his head.

"I don't know Ghost," Liam said, he was as confused as Ghost was, he walks but froze when he saw Steve O'Brien heading in his direction, they lock gaze instantly but he quickly turned away about leaving.

"Liam?" his father's voice made him halt his steps instantly.

Hearing his voice, rage filled his inside, and a wide range of killing intent filled the hall.

"Is that you?".

Liam's eyes changed to his ghoul ones.
