"I'm Penny" a blonde haired woman in her thirties smiles at the almost dead, Tessa.

It had been three hours since she had fallen flat during her case fight, things were getting very overwhelming and she didn't want to lose her shit but she just did. Didn't she?

"Tessa Gray" she nods and Penny's smile doesn't care away.

"I know, Hugh and you were very close, I kept a keen eye on him" she smiles and Tessa doesn't change her facial expressions. She looks straight at the demolished cellar wall and then back at the creeky old bed she was sitting on.

"Okay, I'm a black too" Penny raises her hand and brings down her sleeves to reveal the tattoo.

"Hi Penny, I don't care my boyfriend might or might not be dead, just let me die a slow death please" she replies as tears uncontrollably flow down her cheeks.

"See Tessa, just tell me everything you know and I'll help you" she places her palm on Tessa's thigh and she replies with a sighs.

"I faked being unconscious" Tessa looks down at the chapped floor and hears a giggle from Penny.

"Smart move, very thoughtful of you" Penny smiles while patting Tessa's back. "So will you tell me what exactly happened?"

Tessa begins with her story, her side of the story. She begins with how all she wanted to do was surprise her boyfriend for the sake of love but turned out to be a death sentence. She looks around and then continues with her story.

She cringes at the name 'Blake' but for the sake of her case, continues with everything that had ever happened between Tessa, Shawn, Blake and Kristen. She spills her guts out and when she was finally done she wiped her tears and speaks out.

"See, if Shawn isn't alive anymore I don't want to fight this case" she nods and Penny looks at her with concern in her eyes.

"I don't think Blake would dare to hurt Shawn, he knows the consequences just give me a days time I'll find about his whereabouts" Penny nods before standing up, she briskly shake Sher hand with Tessa and leaves with a new assignment 'Find Shawn Mendes'

Tessa had spent weeks together struggling to find where Shawn was. She had spent time thinking what Blake was really upto why was he doing all this. What was his side of the story, was he really as innocent as he claims to be?

"Tessa Gray warden 508, you have a visitor" One of the guards announces, she groans and slowly gets up and walks out of her cellar.

A familiar shadow takes place, as her heartbeats begin to pace faster and faster, she begins sprinting until a completely weka Shawn is present infront of her. He was bandaged on his forehead and torso where the bullet went through, but the head was something which he must have received later.

She quickly runs and hugs him, tears stream down both their faces as they control the urge to kill everyone around them.

"I missed you" he smiles wiping her tears, she softly pecks his lips and Shawn giggles.

"I missed you too" she manages to stutter while sobbing.

"Shh baby don't cry" Shawn rubs her arms trying to comfort her.

"I love you soo much" she hugs him, just when Shawn was about to reply Penny walks in with a file.

"If you are done re-uniting, I'd like to discuss the case now" Penny nods.

"Penny, I appreciate all this but I think we'll discuss what we have to do,I have a plan I'll let Tessa know first, we'll come to a conclusion then we'll let you know" Shawn waves Penny off leaving the couple alone.

"Do you trust me Tess?" Shawn questions and Tessa nods. "I know what I'm doing, just let me do it" Shawn weakly smiles.

"Shawn, I have a bad feeling about this, please don't..." Tessa was cut off.

"Just trust me, this once Tessa" he smiles caressing her cheek, he slowly bends forth and slightly tilts his head kisses her softly. It was soft, yet desperate and needy.

"I'll be back" Shawn gets up before waving a bye. Tessa walks back to her cellar and settles down to sleep, she immediately springs up.

Tessa spent weeks together, Neil and Timothy too. But what was bizzaire was, Penny could find him within a short span of two hours. It was humanly impossible, unless.

"I don't care, I got Shawn back" Tessa tells herself as she shrugs off the thoughts.
