Liz hurried after Cooper who stopped at Aram's desk, she felt so uninformed on the case but she would be damned if she wouldn't do her best to catch up.

'Aram I need the name of that company the conference was held for?'

'Sir?'

'The company now'

Aram was taken aback by the question that it took him a moment to retrieve his notebook and find his notes.

'The antiviral company called Mcafee are staging a product idea which is basically anti-spy ware on a stick sir, the PR assured me it would be one of the best selling products of next year they are only in development stage but they wanted to get backing support from different potential investors'

'That's it, that's what she wants'

Liz was beginning to catch on with the train of thought.

'Sir are you saying Audrey is after this software with the purpose of developing it themselves?'

'And all in our own backyard, think about it Keen'

'Yes Sir it would almost certainly create billions in profit as well as creating several lucrative spin-off industries'

She pointed her questioning at Aram this time

'Aram is this new idea protected under patent?'

'Not as far as I know, I'm sorry I wasn't exactly concentrating on the product end of the investigation why is it so important?'

Instead of answering his query Cooper walked towards the board where they would usually have case photos attached any and all evidence would be taped there.

Liz assumed Cooper was trying to visualise a case on the board as he continued his train of thought aloud.

'It's a goldmine for America, if this succeeded China would no longer hold its place as the stronghold of technological advancement'

'So what are you thinking Sir, they sell the idea to China once they develop the software given that China is one of the largest economies on the western market?'

He turned his scrutinising glare on her fully and she felt as though she were about to be scolded.

'I don't know Keen but it is ironic that this particular company conference was held in the same hotel that Reddington used as a diversion tactic for his escape last week'

'I'm sorry but I'm simply lost Sir, this company held a conference locally last week?'

'I'm surprised he didn't tell you, he had people in that hotel where the company in question was holding a conference on said product to set off a diversion, an emergency, so he could make his escape'

'Is it really a shock to you Sir that Red would use things for his own advantage, he has used us from the beginning, just as much as we've used him'

'Then doesn't that suggest that Red is as much a threat as this Audrey woman?'

'As much as I don't trust Red Sir, I know he would not be endeavouring to ruin our economy, he loves money, all he cares about is attaining it '

'I can't go on guesses or gut instincts here Keen I've already done that enough today'

'What we can only assume is that this woman timed her reconnaissance with Ressler and planned to sabotage this whole conference in order to delay its introduction on the American market while they develop it on their soil'

'Respectfully Sir, it may have been her that caused the false alarm and not Red'

'Or she could be working for him Keen?'

Cooper stood and scratched at his neck in thought.

'I have to think of all angles here and all I seem to keep doing is coming back to Red'

Liz gave him her 'not possible' face and he sighed. She noticed from this angle he had black rims under his eyes.

'I also know he won't come in, so if you can ask him about it'

'Yes Sir but If we are to catch her..I hate to say this but Ressler could be useful'

'Lure her into a meet?'

Liz nodded at his conclusion, she hated herself even more now and walking from the Blacksite she felt deflated, a far cry from the stern figure she walked in as.
