"J" was laying in bed and bitching about how bad she felt.

"J, do you think Pierre will freak out about the other fingers?" Marla asked.
"That's the point! I want to scare him. I want him to know that no one will stand in my way. He is mine and only mine." J said as she scowled at Marla.
"I understand, but isn't this a little......intense? I mean you killed that girl, cut off her hair then her fingers!" She said.
He has to get the message that I'm not going let any two bit slut have him! He's is meant to be with me and no one else! Now get your ass moving and deliver the fingers!!!" J screamed as she started to cough.

Marla jumped and ran off, holding onto the box with 9 bloody fingers inside it.

Back on the bus, Devin and Nicole had finally gone to bed. Devin was below David and Nicole was below Pierre. A place she did not want to be. She heard some very disturbing sounds coming from his bunk and groaned loudly. She was not dealing with it. She went to Devin's bunk and woke her up.

"You better have a good reason for waking me!" She hissed.
"Pierre won't shut up." She groaned.
"So tell him to shut up and go to sleep." She sighed.
"He's not talking." She said.
"No fucking way!!!" Devin laughed.
"It's not funny! I need sleep! Shove over so I can sleep!" Nicole said.
"Fuck no! Go make him shut up! Throw shoes at him for all I care! I am not sharing my bunk. Go away!" She laughed as she shut the curtain.

Nicole groaned as she picked up a shoe and threw it into Pierre's bunk, shouting for him to go to sleep and got in her own bunk. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. She knew they had work to do as soon as they woke up. She also knew how hard everything had been on the guys so far.

It seemed like such a short time since Devin and Nicole got some sleep. They were woken up by the sound of a phone. Devin rolled out and grabbed it. She was sore from falling on the floor and saw that the guys were looking at her. She just shook her head no and answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Agent Stark." She said.
"This is Agent Monroe. We have some bad news." He said as he looked at the body laying in front of him.
"What happened?" She asked.
"We found Krista. She's been brutally killed. Her hair is almost gone and all of her fingers are missing. She was shot once in the chest, point blank. She was tortured before she was killed. There's some bruising around her eyes and face. There's marks where she was hit with a gun as well." He said with a heavy sigh.
"We have to tell him." Devin said.
"We want to wait until we know who it was for sure. There are 5 hairs on the rug she was wrapped in. We can use them to find out who it was." He said.
"He has a right too know sir. We need to tell him. He's not eating or sleeping right. We have to tell him." She said.
"I understand that, but her have to inform her family first. When I say it's ok you can tell him. Until then do not say anything. I heard you arrested a girl this evening. What happened?" He asked.
"She was asked to deliver a note to Pierre. I caught her getting ready to put it on the door when I stopped her. Kyle helped me question the girl and we found out that she had no idea what she was doing. She was asked by another woman who knows J to do it. She was able to get us a partial sketch of the women who told her to put the note on the door. I'll have Nicole send it now." She said, nodding to the laptop.
"Good, I want to send more undercover agents. I'm worried something horrible may happen. So I'll send you the list of 5 agents that are going to be posing as roadies. I want those men well protected. I don't know why, but I'm worried about this girl. She seems like she'd go as far as kidnapping the other members of the band to get to Pierre." He said.

Those last words sent chills down Devin's spine. She finished her call and saw that the guys were up and watching her. She just smiled at them as Nicole sent all the info they had to Agent Monroe. Devin kept her mouth shut as the guys went back to bed, figuring there was no news. Devin sighed as she quietly told Nicole what she had been told.

"J' was laying in bed coughing horribly a few days later when Marla got back. She told J that she had left the "present" in the dressing room of the next venue and that she had no problems leaving it. "J" gave Marla a very odd smile as she laid down and took some of her medication.

At the next venue, Devin and Nicole received the list of agents who'd be helping them out. They took the guys to meet them, ignoring the questions of why they needed more protection.

"Pierre, David, Seb, Jeff, Pat, and Chuck meet Andy Roster, Mark Nolan, Nick Parker, Leo Hunter and Mike Johnson. They're all here to help us ensure nothing happens to any of you." Nicole said.
"We get that, but why do we all need to be protected now? I thought it was just Pierre this girl wanted." Chuck said.
"That may be true, but we want to make sure that nothing happens to any of you. There is no telling what could or will happen in her pursuit of him." Devin said as one of the roadies ran out.
"They found Krista's body!!" He shouted, Pierre turned ghost white.
"What?" Jeff asked, looking at him.
"They found her body on the banks of some lake. She'd been beaten." He said.
"No. She's not gone." Pierre said as he pulled out his cell to call Krista's family.
"Pierre, we need to explain something to you." Nicole said as she and Devin took him to the bus to talk to him.

Pierre was numb as he tried to get in touch with Krista's parents. He just wanted to know it wasn't true. It wasn't until he heard Nicole bitching on her phone.

"How do I know how the press found out? It's not like we went to them and told what you told us sir. We would never do that.......Sir, she's been with me and the guys all day. She went back to sleep after we sent everything to you......Yes she did because I was up all night making sure I sent everything. If you take her off this case it'll be on your head. We've already put so much into this!.......She's staying on this case. She and I can get places no one else can. I don't care if I do sound full of myself!!!" She hissed as she hung up.
"What's going on?" Pierre asked.
"No one was suppose to know about Krista yet. Agent Monroe wanted to tell you himself. He didn't want you to find out this way. He was going to fly out to speak with you about what we've found out. The fact that it's been leaked to the media is a bad thing. That means everyone is going to find out what's going on. This case is going to get a lot more attention now, but not from us. From the media. That means you'll get a lot of questions about it. You can't give them answers. Just say 'No comment' if you can and tell the guys the same. The less said at this point the better." Devin said.
"So it's on the news?" He asked as Seb ran in and turned on the tv.
"This is bullshit!!!" He hissed as he turned the news on.
".....And it is said that the band, Simple Plan, is under the protection of the FBI and it is said that the girl found on the banks of Lake Noel was the lead singer, Pierre Bouvier's girlfriend. There is no word from their label or the band themselves. It seems as if they are trying to keep this quiet. We'll have more news for as we receive it here at channel 9, KBVC News. In other news......" The woman went on.
"What the fuck is going on!! Who leaked this shit to the press?!" Chuck hissed as he walked in.
