Carter walked back to her desk with a cup of coffee and noticed Fusco at his desk texting someone. Carter watched him for a moment, slightly suspicious; Fusco always seemed to be texting someone and she wondered who he could be communicating with all the time. She didn't take the time to think about it too much though and sat down at her desk to continue her work.

Fusco sighed as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket signaling that he received a text, and he knew who it probably was. Sighing again, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and opened the message.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: Hello, Lionel.

FUSCO: What do you want?

UNKNOWN NUMBER: I need a favor.

FUSCO: Want me to spy on Mr. Glasses again? I'm busy and spying on him is easier said than done.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: Apparently.

Fusco felt his face redden with anger and tried to think of a clever comeback when he noticed Carter coming back to her desk, looking at him suspiciously. He could tell that she didn't fully trust him. Shaking his head, he went back to texting.

FUSCO: What do you want me to do?

UNKNOWN NUMBER: I need you to give me any sort of information on Bruce Wayne. Not public articles, I need any sort of police records and information the general public wouldn't be able to see.

FUSCO: Isn't that the professor's job?

UNKNOWN NUMBER: Finch is busy

FUSCO: Busy?

UNKNOWN NUMBER: Just get me the records, Lionel.

FUSCO: …

UNKNOWN NUMBER: Please

FUSCO: Fine.

Reese smiled to himself as he read Fusco's text and put his phone away in his pocket. He sat back in Finch's chair, staring at the blank monitors. He had been unable to log, or hack, into Finch's computer, and he felt completely useless. Getting up, he walked to his armory to check his guns.

ooOoo

Fusco looked up from his computer, hearing something. His eyes searched the ceiling and he looked around to see if anyone else had heard the sound.

"You okay Fusco?" Carter asked and Fusco looked at her for a moment before looking around more.

"You didn't hear that?"

"Hear what?"

ooOoo

Finch abruptly looked up, his eyes scanning the ceiling. Bruce also looked up, confused.

"Did you just hear that?" Finch asked and Bruce nodded.

"Yeah." They waited another moment, but nothing happened. Another moment passed and Bruce relaxed slightly and stood up.

"You ready to go?" Finch nodded and also stood up from the table, but he was still looking around suspiciously.

"You're too paranoid." Bruce commented as he and Finch walked to the door leading back to the main part of the restaurant.

"With good reason." Finch responded.

ooOoo

"Are you sure you're okay?" Carter asked Fusco again, not sure what sounds her partner was hearing.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Fusco returned and went back to trying to work. But he heard the noise again and turned to Carter.

"Please tell me you heard that." Carter gave Fusco another strange look before answering.

"Heard wha-" Before Carter could finish, there was a loud banging sound above them and the lights went out.

ooOoo

Finch opened the door and they began to walk out when without warning, a sound stopped them dead.

ooOoo

"What the hell…" Fusco mumbled to himself as the rest of the police officers looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

ooOoo

Finch and Bruce froze as they heard a woman scream and men with guns ran into the restaurant, shooting the air telling everyone to get out. People roughly scrambled over one another to get to the exits and one of the men noticed Bruce and Finch standing in the back and opened fired on them.

ooOoo

Before anyone could do anything, silent men dressed in black seemed to come out of all of the shadows, armed with swords. Faster than anyone could comprehend, the men attacked any police officer in sight. Most of the police armed themselves with their guns and tried to fight back, but the mysterious men seemed to appear and disappear anytime they came close to them.

ooOoo

Bruce saw the man point his gun in his and Finch's direction and without thinking he shoved Finch as hard as he could before dropping to the ground to escape the bullets.

ooOoo

Carter watched in horror as the strange men suddenly began to attack some of the police. It was extremely dark without the lights on and it was impossible to tell if the attack was random, or if the men were attacking certain targets. It didn't matter to Carter though. She grabbed her gun and moved to help her fellow police officers.

ooOoo

Finch stumbled and fell backwards to the ground as Bruce shoved him. He covered his head with his arms as splinters of wood sprayed everywhere as bullets hit the wall they were just standing in front of. The bullets stopped for a moment, and Finch could hear their attackers yelling at each other. Ignoring what they were saying, he took advantage of the moment by army crawling behind an overturned table a few feet away. The men noticed and instantly started shooting at him, but Finch managed to take refuge behind the table. He jumped when his phone began to vibrate, and he quickly pressed his earpiece to answer the call.

"This is an extremely bad time." Finch hissed to the caller.

"Finch! I need help! I need you to tell me how to get out of the police station! The lights are off and I can barely see anything!" Fusco shouted.

"What why? What's going on?" Finch hissed again, trying to keep his voice low.

"Freakin' ninjas are attacking the Police Station!" Fusco froze as he heard gunshots and a loud bang on the other end of the phone. "Finch!" Fusco shouted into the phone, but the line had gone dead.

ooOoo

Carter stood back to back with Detective Kane as they looked around for the mysterious men. It was hard to see with the lights off and the men seemed to blend in with the shadows. Most of the police officers were scrambling around, some trying to call for backup and some trying to fight back. It seemed like a never ending battle. Suddenly, Carter felt someone grab her and she tried to cry for help but her captor covered her mouth before she could say anything. Just when Carter thought that she was going to die, a gunshot rang out very close to her.

ooOoo

Bruce kept low to the ground as the bullets passed over his head. Once the bullets stopped, he turned his head to see Finch taking cover behind a table. Staying low to the ground, Bruce quickly made his way over to the men with the guns. He could tell now that there were only eight men, but they were all armed. At least they are spread out. I can take them out one by one Bruce thought. Bruce slowly approached two of the men from the back and then quickly grabbed them, slamming their heads into each other. The men were instantly unconscious, and Bruce carefully lowered them to the ground. He then quickly made his way to the next armed man, but the man saw him coming. To avoid being shot, Bruce tackled the man but he failed to notice the two small metal cylinders in the man's hand. One of them fell to the floor right next to them and the other went flying across the room. There was a deafening high pitched explosion followed by a blinding white light.

Finch instinctively covered his ears at the deafening explosion and the bright white light burned his eyes. For a moment, he thought he was dead but after a few seconds his vision started to return, but his ears were ringing horribly. Wincing, he slowly pulled his earpiece out of his right ear to find it covered in blood. His free hand went to his ear and he could feel the blood trickling down. Finch closed his eyes, the ringing in his ears giving him a small headache. When he opened his eyes again, he saw his phone on the ground next to him. He picked it up, deciding to do what he did best.

ooOoo

Carter felt her attacker let go of her and fall to the ground. She sighed in relief as she saw that it had been Fusco who shot her attacker. Her relief was short lived though as she saw that the men were surrounding them.

ooOoo

Bruce found himself lying on the floor, his ears ringing and his eyes disoriented. He recovered quickly though and forced himself to his feet, but instantly recognized his mistake. The four remaining men had also recovered from the explosion and had their guns trained on him. Before anyone could move though, the lights went out and the fire alarm went off. The men jumped in surprise, giving Bruce enough time to fight them while they were distracted. One of the men though backed up, pointing his gun at Bruce again aiming carefully. Finch stood up from behind the table and saw the men aiming at Bruce. Without thinking, he picked up a glass from the nearest table and threw it at the man. It hit the man right as he was about to shoot, and he spun around, shooting at Finch instead.

ooOoo

Carter looked at Fusco, and he looked back at her, both wondering if this was the end of their lives. Before they had time to contemplate the idea that they were going to die, one of the back doors burst open, a man in a suit walking in shooting his gun in the air. The men in black jumped from Reese's sudden appearance, while some ran to attack him. Reese was prepared for the attack and he fought back. The men were well trained, and it was a pretty even fight. But as more men joined the fight, Reese could feel himself losing the battle. Fusco came to his aid though, while Carter ran to help Detective Kane who was trying to fend off four men on his own. Together, Fusco and Reese managed to fend off most of the mysterious men attacking them. The men retreated slightly and Reese turned to whisper to Fusco.

"They're coming. I'll talk to you later."

"What? Who?" Fusco asked turning to Reese, but Reese had disappeared. Fusco looked around then jumped as members of the SWAT team burst through the door Reese had come through moments before. Fusco relaxed as the ninjas disappeared, knowing that he was safe for the moment.

ooOoo

Finch saw the man with the gun turn and shoot at him, but he couldn't comprehend what happened next. One moment he was standing staring at the man who was going to end his life and the next he was staring at the ceiling a sharp pain penetrating his left arm. He groaned softly and his hand went to his injured arm, and he could feel the blood running down. Without warning, Bruce was suddenly next to him.

"You alright?" Bruce asked Finch, looking at his friend with concern.

"Just peachy." Finch responded and Bruce held out a hand to him. Finch took it with his good arm, and Bruce helped pull Finch to his feet. He examined Finch's arm for a moment before taking off his tie, tying it around Finch's wounded arm to stop the blood flow.

"The bullet just grazed your arm. You should be fine." Bruce commented and Finch nodded slowly, his arm stinging painfully. Together, they surveyed the restaurant, not sure what to think.

"Now what?"
