"Hi Karen, I'm supposed to explain to you what's going on," Chloe said, she was a little timid because of how Bill acted yesterday, she didn't want Karen to find out that she had called her power hungry.

"Hi, so what is going on?" she asked. Karen had been nervous of this day because of how great the night before was, she was curious as to how her and Bill would act toward each other.

"Not much at the moment, but we need to deal with something in the server room," she said.

"What is it?" Karen asked.

"Some protocols for Division, you can put your stuff in your locker," Chloe told her handing her a piece of paper with the locker number and combonation on it.

"Thanks, I'll be right there then," Karen said and walked to the locker room. This is where she ran into something awkward, Bill.

"Hi," he said shyly.

"Hi," she repeated.

"So first day as an official employee at CTU," he said, "think you can handle the pressure?"

"I'm not sure I can, maybe I could use a little help," Karen said smurking at Bill. She closed her locker and flipped her adjusted her hair after she had taken her coat off.

"Well, if you need any kind of help you can come to me," Bill said boldly.

"I appreciate that, see around then boss," she said with another smile and then left Bill alone in the locker room. He was just smiling, this little encounter put him in a very good mood. After leaving Bill, Karen joined Chloe in the server room.

"What took you so long?" Chloe asked.

"Locker got stuck," she lied.

"Okay," she waved it off and explained to Karen what Division needed.

"So why am I here?" Karen asked.

"They wanted someone from Homeland to look over the protocols before they're sent and I thought it would be faster since you're here if you looked over them with me instead of sending them to Homeland," Chloe explained to her.

"Oh, that makes since," she replied. They started to work through the long list of protocols. Chloe thought the silence was awkward so she struck up a conversation.

"So you really saved Mr. Buchanan?" she stated more than asking.

"Yeah, I guess," she answered back.

"Why'd you do it? Was Gardner giving you the credit?"

"Because I didn't deserve any credit, I came here and was working against all of you."

"Any other reason?" Chloe asked.

"What other reason?"

"I don't know," Chloe said.

"Okay then," she said.

"I'm going to be blunt," announced Chloe.

"Are you ever not?"

"I just tell it like it is," Chloe stated, Karen nodded her head. "So on that thought, I think Mr. Buchanan has a crush on you."

"What?" Karen was shocked, this definatly wasn't what she was excepting to come out of Chloe's mouth. "Why would you think that?"

"Well, he's a little defensive of you," Chloe said.

"Oh, really?" Karen asked, Chloe obviously had the impression that Karen would hate that Bill liked her. "Once again, why would you think that?"

"Well that's a long story, but I had a misunderstanding and he got mad because he thought I offended you." Karen laughed, she realized this was probably a bounding moment for her and Chloe.

"Well then, that's interesting."

"Why?"

"Because I have a crush on Mr. Buchanan," she pointed out boldly. Chloe was dumbstruck.

"It's only been a couple of weeks, but it seems like forever," Mrs. Suvarov said to Martha. They were having tea in Martha's garden.

"So was there anything important you wanted to talk about?" Martha said after taking a sip of tea.

"Sort of," she admitted, "we were just wondering why President Logan resigned."

"Okay, because we're friends I'm not going to lie to you. So you have to promise that whatever I tell you, you won't repeat to anyone."

"Okay, I promise."

"Charles was responsible for the terrorist attacks two weeks ago, along with the assination of President Palmer."

"Oh my God," she said. Mrs. Suvarov was shocked.

"He was behind everything," Martha went on to explain every detail from the fact that Charles knew about the terriost attack on Mrs. Suvarov and her husband, and even knew she was in the limo but he didn't stop it. All the way to how they all got him to confess.

"So that's why you're living here?"

"Yes, we should start the divorce proceedings soon, I just don't think I can bring myself to look at him," Martha said bitterly. Mrs. Suvarov was still trying to take in everything that Martha had told her.

"Thank you for telling me Martha," she said.

"You don't have to thank me, you have the right to know." Martha poured them both more tea and they made small talk until Mrs. Suvarov left.

"Well how did it go?" Aaron asked Martha as she walked into the kitchen.

"Better then both of us suspected, she thanked me for telling her."

"Are you shocked? You shouldn't be, you are a very considerent person." He gave Martha a smile.

"Thank you." She smiled back.
