Graceland

They found one of the guys who kidnapped Mike they had no idea he was an FBI agent. They were just hired muscle but with that knowledge Graceland was no longer burned and they got stay in the house.

"Chuck Honey you have to take care of yourself" Paige says, it had been two weeks since Mike and Paul passed. "I don't want anything Paige I'm good I have to finish up this paperwork then I'm done" Charlie replied. Johnny shook his head "so are you going to work a 9 to 5 at some field office" Xavier asked.

Before Charlie could answer the door open causing everyone to turn around. Shock running through all of them "impossible MIKE!" Paige shouted running to him. "Oh, shit bro I knew you guys would find a way out of there where's Briggs" Johnny exclaimed as Mike looked on in confusion.

"What are you talking about Johnny and why would Paul be with me" Mike asked. As everyone looked on "How are you alive right now" Xavier said, He looked around at his roommates "what's going on he says. Charlie looked at him "you died with Paul three weeks ago in a warehouse owned by Sid Markham.

"I know because they ran yours and Paul's dental to make sure it was you guys. And everything checked out Mike and WE BURIED YOU GUYS. NOW A MONTH LATER YOU WALK THROUGH THE DOORS LIKE NOTHING WHERE'S PAUL MIKE IS HE WITH YOU" Charlie demanded.

Mike stood confused "GUYS WHAT'S GOING ON", I JUST TOLD YOU MIKE she says as he looks at the date. "This can't be right" he said shaking his head, so you don't know what is going on or this is some game Charlie says.

"Charlie, I don't know where Paul is" Mike answers

"So, you got yourself out of there and just left him to die there in that warehouse were he was only there because of you" she replies. What's the last thing you remember" Xavier asked, working the case on Manolo Tavares and that it's?

Come on Charlie you know me I wouldn't do that I don't remember being anywhere it's a blank I woke up in some house not even a mile from here" Mike says. "This doesn't make sense the dental matched" Paige said as Johnny called it in to the bureau.

"Paul's dead" he asked as his heart sunk yes, the man was a major asshole, but he was a good agent. "Charlie I'm sorry I wasn't here" Mike said, oh but you are Mike did you set him up she asked defensively.

As Paige jumped "In come on Chuck you know Mike wouldn't do that" she replies. Charlie's head swung up "what I do know Paige he is here Paul is dead and if you were less then a mile away why didn't you come home" she says trying to calm down.

"Chuck think about the baby's mama" Johnny said, when Mike looked up babies he said. As Johnny shook his head putting up two fingers for the two babies with a grin.

Shaking her head "None of this shit makes any sense Johnny he is alive, but Paul isn't we identified both of there bodies. Or did you forget THIS SHIT STINKS JOHNNY YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK.

I THINK YOU SET THIS UP MIKE KILLING PAUL IN THE PROCESS YOUR WERE MAD AT HIM ABOUT THE TAVARES CASE Charlie says. "Come on Chuck are you serious" Xavier said as she got closer to Mike. "I don't know Charlie all I know is I woke up in a house that no one was in the room was set up like a hospital room" Mike says.

"How did you get there Mike" she demanded

'I don't know Charlie I don't remember" he replies

"RIGHT! BUT ALL OF THIS SHIT IS CONVIENT FOR YOU I KNEW YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO NAIL TAVARES BUT THIS WOW. OH, HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN AGENT WARREN" she says.

He looked on in shock "I swear Charlie I'm telling the truth" Mike said, that is bullshit and I see you for who you truly are I won't forget it either. So, you can go and celebrate that he is alive while I got pack up the rest of mine and Paul's things she said as she stormed off.

Johnny looked at him "don't sweat it bro she is mad your some how alive and Paul isn't how is that" he asked Skeptical. Paige thought for a second "whoever gave us that intel that you were there set this up.

Maybe it was never about Mike and about Paul maybe this guy was after him to begin with she says. "I think Paige might be right, but I wasn't here for the Sid Markham case" Xavier says. As Bates start typing on the computer "Briggs was a part of Sid's unit on the LAPD he infiltrated them and got in good" she says.

Mike's mind raced "What if whoever took me has Briggs if I'm he can be too right" he said. Xavier shrugged "I don't know Mike you can't get two Mir… was all he got out when brass got there. With whole lot of questions as they were questioning him Paige went to talk to her.

Finding her in Paul's room sitting on his bed with his jacket in her arms. "Babe you know Mike wouldn't let Paul die you know that right. What if just what if Paul planned this himself to get… when Charlie cut her off.

"Don't finish that sentence Paige if your coming in here to yet again drag my children's father through filth. When he isn't here to defend himself yeah Briggs was an asshole and he wasn't perfect Paige. Not even by a long shot but he was always there when one of us need but I guess that doesn't matter.

But I am happy you guys got your guy good for you she said still not looking up at her. Charlie was all Paige got out before Charlie spoke "just go Paige I don't feel like talking anymore" she says. Taking a deep breathe "I love you chuck so does everyone else here and we lost him too" Paige says as she closed the door.

Charlie got up and smiled finishes getting their things and rolling her bags out. Bates grabbed her suitcases as she hugs him "take care of yourself" she said as she kissed him on the cheek. "You're not going to say bye to everyone else" he asked, no it doesn't matter as she watched them congratulate Mike as she left.

Just Then Mike Saw her turn to leave "Charlie wait" he called getting another roommates attention as he went after them. So, did the rest of the roommates catching her as she got to car "Don't leave Chuck I have a theory" Mike says.

Glaring at him "what's that agent Warren" she said, I spoke to the chief about it what if the guys that took me took Briggs as well. We are going to look into he could be out there I going to lead the charge none of this makes any sense" he said. As Xavier and Johnny put her bags in the car when she smiles "Jackpot there it is what you wanted all along but no thank you" Charlies said.

"Wait what" he replies, don't play stupid you know exactly what you did you get to lead this team its your team now with me and Paul out the way it's all you she says. Just as Johnny and Xavier were about to speak Charlie put her hands up "let him speak" she responds. Shaking his head "No Charlie it's not like that there is a good chance he could be alive" Mike insists.

She looked up at him "Mike I have two kids to worry about right now who don't have a father, but you tell me how that goes" she says hugging Johnny. "Charlie stay just give me some time Manolo Tavares has to be involved somehow" he says. As she chuckles "Oh they didn't tell you Manolo Tavares is in a coma he was shot with a gun from the FBI evidence locker" Charlie says.

His head swung over to his superiors "is that why you said you wanted in on this case" Mike asked. "Agent Warren it just doesn't make sense how you're here" the man said.

"Exactly take care guys let me know how that works out for you "she says as she get's in her car and drives off. As she rubbed her stomach "baby we are going home" she said with a grin, Mike turned to him you can't possibly think I had something to do with this.

I told you what happen he says, I know Mike how you were here working the Tavares case then waking up in some house down the street the and you don't remember anything in between that. So, what your saying is the fire inspectors lied the DNA test that proved both your death and agent Briggs all lied the section chief said.

When his phone rang as he listened for a moment before hanging up "you're going to take us back to the house Now Agent Warren. As another man checked his hands "What the hell are you doing" Mike said when he noticed.

"Your checking me for gunshot residue" Mike said as the other man showed it to them shaking his head. "That's not possible "he said as everyone looked around at each other now thinking maybe Charlie was right.
