Olivia slowly made the walk back to the FBI office. She took her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes. She had let herself believe he was honestly just angry with Walter, but today had just shattered the last tiny hope she had that he was not angry with her. She should have known better than to believe he wouldn't partly blame her. He wasn't stupid. He would know she had to have seen him glimmer. She arrived at her office and sank into her chair. She could tell he had been in here. It was not just that the smell of his cologne lingered in the air. It was also the fact he didn't close her fringe drawer all the way. He must have really been in a hurry. She started pulling files trying to see if she could find what he was looking for. She got to the bottom of the pile and realized he took the map. She reached for her phone to call Broyles hoping that he would answer a call from one of his former agents this late at night.
"Broyles," he answered in that no nonsense tone he must have spent years perfecting.
"This is Agent Dunham. Peter Bishop broke into my office and stole the map of where all the fringe events occurred."
"What do you think he is going to do with it?"
"I think he is going to try to go home." Olivia chocked out.
Broyles didn't comment on her loss of her emotions and just asked "Do you know were he is going to try to do this, how and when?"
"I don't know sir. I chased after him a foot for a bit, but he jumped in a taxi. I have not had a chance to search his car yet."
""Alright, I want you on this case because you know him best. Let's not involve the FBI on this one. I am assuming you are not going to tell anyone about the break in in your office."
"No sir. He has been through enough. I feel like we forced this on him."
"Alright, I am sorry Dunham, but I can no t help very much, but I will do my best to get you the contacts you need to keep this quiet. Good Luck and keep me up to date on your progress."
"Thanks you sir and I will goodbye." Olivia hung up the phone and took a deep breath knowing that heading up to full time investigations was going to wear her thinner than she already was.
She knew the information on Jack Dallas could wait for an hour while she searched Peter's car. It was no surprise to her that Peter's car was a rental. She looked at the line on the rental agreement he had signed at laughed to herself when she saw Gene King. It felt good to laugh and even better that Peter had managed to make her laugh when he was not even there. Oh, how pathetic was she. She was so desperate she laughed at what name Peter had gone by while he was running away from her. She really needed to get it together and realize he was not coming back. Olivia continued searching the car and under the passenger seat she discovered several fake ids. She took these with her. They were illegal to posses and she did not want anyone else to take them and get Peter into trouble. He had his reasons to run away and the reason he needed fake ids was because a FI agent was looking for him. He was not in any real trouble, but if anyone else found them he could be.
Olivia closed her eyes as the tear threatened to fall again. She was to old to cry over men. She hated herself at that moment. She hated feeling weak and she hated that not having Peter by her side made her feel that way. She knew she could stand on her own two feet, but Peter just made things easier for her. He would ask hat was wrong, because he knew. Apparently she did that thing with her mouth when she was upset and he picked up on it. No. She has to continue on she has too much to do. Olivia popped the trunk and began to search it. She then saw something that made her stomach drop. She had seen one once before and the tears really did start when she saw it again. Peter was a lot closer to going home then she thought. He had figured out how to make the door to the other side. She knew he would have to make another one, but how hard was that after. He had already made one.
Olivia did not know where to go from here. She reached into the bottom drawer of her desk as she pulled out the spare copy of the ma she had made. She was really glad she took the time to copy it before she locked the fringe files away. The lake was out Peter had sealed the hole there. The only other place she could see on the map that had water near it was the bridge in Cedar Grove on the Charles River where Peter had finally figured everything out. Olivia knew she could not have surveillance of the bridge 24/7. She did not know what to do. It would take Peter at least another day to make another door. She would have to go see Walter later today during visiting hours. He might be able to tell her where Peter left the device to close holes in the universe. He may know of a way to fix it so it fixed soft spots. Walter may be her last chance to stop Peter.
Olivia looked down at her phone when it beeped. She had a text from Lucas saying he would meet her in an hour at her office to discuss the case. Olivia muttered "shit," under her breath as she pulled out the file containing everything they had on William Bell's drug trials hoping to discover something on Jack Dallas. She sighed knowing it was going to be next to impossible to focus on this case knowing Peter could be getting away.
