Why?

Victoria's heartless comment made Wyatt's blood boil, and he kept his eyes on his notepad, his grip tightening on his pencil. Seriously? Why did he have to ensure this? They weren't going to get anything from her, so why not just turn her over to the police for attempted murder and be done? But something told him that there was more here they needed to investigate, no matter how much of a pain it was.

He sighed before looking back up at Victoria. "In our world, we don't use human beings for target practice. And since you stepped into our world, we take it just a tad personally. I'm sure trying to play on your sympathies won't do a thing, because I'm pretty sure like every other Agency operative, you have no heart. So..." He shut his notepad. "I think we should probably be done for now. Just sit tight though. This is far from over."

Leaving the room, Wyatt took a moment out in the hall to take several deep breaths. He was worried about Nate, and angry with having to deal with the Agency like this. They weren't going to get anywhere without knowing more. But how could they know more? It was a nightmarish circle.


"What happened?" Justin watched Garret on the security screen with Hal. 

"Sniper. Shot Nate. Apparently Garret helped save Nate's life - though I'm not sure why. We caught the perp - a woman. Garret found out and went berserk when Reese would let him see her. Forced him back downstairs, and...here we are."

Justin frowned as he watched Garret pace in the small cell. Such a behavioral change was worth looking at more closely. Something had happened. Something had been a game changer. But what? 

A few minutes later after a rather tense discussion with Reese, Justin pushed open the door to the interrogation room. Garret was in no shape to talk calmly at the moment, so there was only one other angle. All Justin could lose was time and...he was in this now and wanted answers. 

"Victoria." He greeted her with a slight nod before sitting down where Wyatt had been just a little while ago. His eyes roamed her face and took in every little detail about how she was dressed, how she was sitting and how she held herself. It was an open book he was fascinated to read. 

"So here's the thing. I know its not a coincidence you're here, and I know you're probably not gonna tell me your reason for showing up today. So I'm not gonna waste my breath. I only have one question though. Garret is mighty upset he's not being allowed to see you. I wanna know why." Justin cocked his head. "Why does Garret want to see you so badly?"


Jason looked to Katie quickly, not even having noticed her presence. He gave her a wry grin before shaking his head. "Naw...she's got enough to worry about. I'll be okay." He wasn't positive about that, but hoped he could shake this off after a few minutes. He knew his knee had just reacted to the wrenching impact if Garret's kick, and other than a brace, there probably wasn't much else that could be done.

He rolled his eyes. "And no...you know me... I never learn." He chuckled. "Or at least it takes me a while anyway." 

Another sigh, and he gave in partially at least. "Help me to my office without telling anyone, and I'll owe you a coffee."


Hearing Nate's voice, it took Laura moment to remember where they were, and her head shot up. "Oh, Nate." She took his hand and kissed it before bringing his palm to her face. "I'm so glad you're awake. You had me so worried."

She moved to sit next to him on the bed and ran a finger through his hair. "How do you feel? Do you remember what happened?"
