Chapter 21 - Planned

Once Jade was down for her sleep Charlie sat with Olivia in the backroom they had been in before, it was furthest away from his bedroom where Sonia had gone to bed and it was also furthest away from Jade's room, who was also asleep, with a very full stomach. There was silence around them for a long time and it wasn't as though either of them were going to speak any time soon. Letting the silence settle for too long Charlie spoke, "So kiddo, tell me about today? I know you said some stuff before but I've know you for a very long time, there's more isn't there?" They both sat opposite each other, their backs to the wall and their legs stretched out in front of them. As she watched Charlie, the side of Olivia's mouth rose slightly into a small half smile before dropping completely. Rising from her seat on the floor, she pulled a piece of paper from her back pocket, handing it to Charlie.

"I found this in his house, he had it hanging upstairs in a frame, I took it before I came down to see you…" She watched as his eyes glanced over the photo, taking in the knowledge that this man really did have feelings towards Olivia and he was still involved in her kidnapping, "…God Charlie, he was like a father to me. He was always there if I needed him and now…how am I supposed to believe that he was the person I thought he was with all of this happening?" She looked down at him with heavy eyes, the pain and emotion coming through them like a stream train. Olivia had come to standing directly in front of Charlie, enough for him to be able to reach for her limp hand by his side and pulled her down to sit next time him. Letting his arm stretch around her shoulder, he pulled her closer, "Livy, listen to me. As far as we are concerned Jacobson is still the man who saved your life and he is still the person you remember. Until we can prove that otherwise, don't you dare think otherwise." She nodded against his shoulder, bringing her hand to her cheek, brushing away the small tear that had fallen while he had spoken.

Olivia turned her head up a little to look at Charlie and she smiled, "You're not going to leave me are you Charlie?" She blinked a few times, waiting for him to speak or move and he returned her question with a smile and a kiss on the forehead, "Livy, I'm not going anywhere…you know...just because people leave, doesn't mean that they don't come back..." Charlie moved his head a little so he could look down at her, she did look like a child in his arms when he did that and the blush on her face made him smile. "I don't know what your talking about..." she was hiding her face away from him but they both knew what he was talking about. "Livy, I saw you with him...what's going on between you and Peter?" Opening her mouth a few times Olivia sighed, "We have agreed to try it again, slow though...does it have to have a name or a label?" she shrugged against him, making him smile. "Ah...yea! Kiddo, you and Peter were the one couple that every one of us rooted for in school."

Olivia shot up suddenly to look at Charlie, not believing much of what he was saying, she eyed him carefully, "You believed we would get back together?" she was beginning to stand now, pulling away from Charlie in an attempted to put some distance between them. He laughed at her sudden movement, "Livy, the only thing that has surprised me is that it's taken so long. I mean, it's been three months since he has been back, you've barely said a word about Frank and Peter is always at your side...come on Liv, you'd have to be blind to see that he still likes you."

'Still?' Charlie believed that whatever Peter felt for her was still there, not something that had been revived after spending time with her? Had those feelings even left while they had been apart? The sudden ringing of Olivia's phone caught their attention and she smirked, it was Peter, she knew that already but when she answered the called, the smirk dropped from her face. Turning her back to Charlie, Olivia sighed before answering, "Dunham?" There was a pause where Peter spoke and she only nodded, not liking the information she was being given. "Thanks Peter. I'm on my way, make sure Walter knows that I am coming, I'll need to talk to him." Hanging up before Peter could speak Olivia turned back to Charlie. "Ah, that was Peter, he said that about an hour ago they got to the lab, from Jacobson's place. He said that the CI's found some things at his place, so Peter and Walter have been looking through it all. He wants me to come to the lab because he thinks he has found something." With her head leaning towards the door, Olivia waited for Charlie to follow.

Walking her to the door, Charlie could see that she was hesitating and not wanting to leave, "You want me to come with you? Be the shoulder you value so much?" Olivia smirked at his attempt to try and make her smile, "Thanks, but it sounded like this was something I have to do on my own. I will call you if anything comes up though." She placed her hand on his shoulder as a sign of thanks before smiling and walking away from him, back down the front steps and then to her car, taking a moment to compose herself before she made the trip back towards the lab where Walter and Peter were waiting for her. Thinking of Peter made her mind travel to what Charlie had said, did he really think that Peter was in love with her still? Had he really been expecting them to get back together? He was right, she hadn't eventhought about Frank and she knew that once she had gotten over the initial reaction of having Peter back and around again, she knew her feelings for him where a current development, not just residual feelings from having him turn up again suddenly. Before she knew it, she was already at the lab and parking her car next to Walter's, actually Peter's now, old Vista Cruiser, the same one that Peter used to drive when they were a school.

Swallowing down the rising feeling of dread that had started to build since the moment she had taken Peter phone call, she locked up her SUV and made her way into the old Harvard building. Letting the lab door open slowly and considerably slowly considering the age of the door, she walking in to find Peter leaning over what looked to be Walter's table, while his eyes scanned over something that seemed to be frustrating him. Peter was mumbling to himself in hushed tones until he felt a presence behind him and turned to find Olivia standing there, hand's clasped together in front of her, a nervous habit she had gotten into, "Where is everyone?" Peter stood from his seat and turned to face her completely, "Astrid took Walter home and I'm just going over this information again once more…" He trailed off as she nodded sharply, obviously just wanting to get to the point, "What did you find?" Her voice quivered a little bit, knowing that the fact that Peter was still here after midnight and the fact that he had called her asking her to come in meant that something big was going on. "Livia, I'm sorry to wake you but Walter thinks he found something…" Peter reached out for her arm, resting his hand gently on her arm, bringing her a little closer. It just occurred to her that he assumed she was still asleep when he called and so she knew it must have been something massive for him to wake her up.

"Well Walter still can't remember anything about the banks and the safety deposit boxes but we found files in Jacobson's apartment that made mention to 'SDB1' and 'SDB2' and so I got to playing a little game and it got me to 'safety deposit box 1' and 'safety deposit box 2.'" Olivia blinked a few times, so Jacobson really was involved. "I think we may have found the person who is orchestrating the robberies and the man that we interegated a while ago, he was just a worker, like Jacobson told you, the list of names on it, there was four of them. One is in police custody, one just popped up on Astrid's hospital red flag system, having been admitted with radiation poisoning and she sent the FBI to pick them up and one we still have no idea…" Olivia nodded, knowing that the one that was in custody was the first person they interviewed and so the red flag must have been their third member. Well…that's what I called you to come in about. Astrid was here until about half an hour ago but I sent her home, Walter was being his usual self, but the other men that Jacobson wrote down on that list of names, that's them and so we started looking for any notes to a fourth person or at least a name that stood out."

She came to stand next to him, closer to the table to she could see what had been spread out, what had caught Peter's acute attention, "And…? Did you find anything?" As she spoke she had to fight the urge to shiver when his arm brushed against hers, she just wanted to hide away with him forever and not have to deal with the shit that was coming but instead here they were. "Well, at first, no…" he looked a little downbeat as he spoke but then his eyes lightened a little and he reached across her, taking something from the far corner of the table, placing a gently kiss on her neck as he did, making her laugh. "Peter, come on, now is not the time…" he mock sighed before smiling, although it didn't last long as he pulled out a small tape recorder from the little bag he had grabbed. "At first I didn't find anything but then Walter pulled this out of one of the evidence boxes he originally told me was empty. This is a recording, now there are no names spoken but I though that maybe you would be able to run it through the really cool FBI computers you have and find a match…" he was holding out the recorder with a smile, watching as Olivia's eyes lit up at the thought of having some hard evidence that would point them in a particular direction. Reaching for the recorder in Peter's hand, she clicked on 'play' button and they waited for a moment, listening as something on the tape clicked and then started to run.

Suddenly a voice spoke in a rush, sounding as though they were worried about something, "Wetried,wedidthebestwecouldbuttherewasn'tenoughtime.Butweknowit'stherightone,thestrongest…" Olivia thought for a moment, thinking if the voice sounded familiar at all, it was registering something in her mind but then there was another voice, someone different this time, their words sending her mind reeling with confusion, "Wellhowaboutyoumakesureaboutthathuh?...Ifnot,it'sonyourhead…" Then there was a click and the tape ended, her concentration on the tape doubling. Why had those words sounded so familiar to her? And the voice, there was something about both the voices but the second man's voice sent alarm bells off in her head. There was someone who had used those exact words recently and she had heard them in the hospital, Mitchell Loeb said them when he thought she was asleep, had he really been part of her kidnapping? A sudden sob raked her body as her hand shot up to her mouth, tears forming at the rims of her eyes.

Someone from her work, her building and her unit was responsible for her kidnapping, the man she looked up to, who'd saved her life was part of it, how had she gotten so mixed up with the wrong people. She never noticed Peter's arms around her shoulders until they were sinking down on the ground together, him rocking her back and forward as she let the tears fall silently, her eyes moving in different direction, trying to come to terms with it all. "Shhh, sweetheart, it's ok. You're ok…shhh." He whispered into her hair, letting her cling onto him like he was a life jacket. Peter honestly had no idea what had caused the sudden change in her emotions but he was there and he was glad that he was with her, whatever was going on inside of her. It was close to half an hour before Olivia moved from his lap, turning to face him, tears still falling from her eyes but the sobs had stopped. Peter was silent as she looked over him, as if trying to memorise him face, before she all but jumped on him, her lips latching onto his and her arms wrapping around his neck, bringing him closer to her. Peter didn't respond for a moment, trying to work out what she was doing, her tongue running along his bottom lip and thanks to a force of habit he opened his mouth to her, letting his hand tangle in her hair, holding her closer as they kissed on the lab floor.

Feeling her tongue against his made him go crazy, wanting more of her then and there, part of him didn't care that someone could have walked in on them but when her hands found the underside of his shirt and the bare skin underneath he was brought back to reality. "Livia, come on, stop…hey Livia…" He was trying to push her off as she continued to send him crazy with the kisses and touches. She moved from his lips to his ear and then his neck, but it wasn't until she reached for the hem of his shirt did he stop her hands. "Hey, not like this…" he placed her hands at her sides, trying to find her eyes, as they had dropped from his face, not being able to look him in the eye. "What's going on Livia? What just happened? What is this?" His fingers found her chin and brought her face up to look him in the eye, something had shifted there. She sat back and away from him, realising that they were both on the cold lab floor, she didn't even know how long they had been there. "Oh god, Peter I'm so sorry, I just…" she ran her hands over her hair, pushing it away from her face, "…that voice, the second one, that's Mitchell Loeb, Agent Mitchell Loeb…" She waited a minute before it suddenly clicked, the understanding showing on his face. "How do you know?" Leaning into him slowly, Olivia sighed, "When I was at the hospital, he came in talking on the phone, he thought I was asleep. Peter he said the exact same thing as what's on the recording. It's him, he is the fourth person involved in the robberies and he is involved in my kidnapping. God I should have seen it!"

She pushed away from Peter, standing suddenly and leaving him to stare at her confused for a moment before standing himself. "Livia, what do you mean you should have seen it?" He watched her pace for a moment, her hand resting on her forehead. "He was always just in the background of the robbery case, always keeping tabs on what we had found, but never getting too involved, and then he came to see me at the hospital, me and him…we were never close enough for him to come and visit me at the hospital. He was making sure I was still alive, and how much damaged had been caused." Peter shook his head and sighed, coming to her side and stopping her pacing with his hands on both of his shoulders, "Livy, sweetheart, stop pacing…come here…" He pulled her into his arms slowly, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and she did the same around his waist, holding on to him. Groaning suddenly she rubbed her face into his chest, "God, I have to tell Broyles…" Peter just nodded against her head, understanding exactly what she meant by the tone in her voice, Loeb was on of Broyles best agents and to find out that he is a traitor, its going to be hard.

"Come on Liv, maybe first we tell Charlie and then watch Loeb, see what we can find out before we go straight to Broyles, you know he isn't going to believe us if we just tell him…" Peter held out his hand for Olivia to come to him, intent on making sure she followed him to the car and not break down and cry like he knew she was trying not to do. "Peter, how are we supposed to get any evidence?" She stopped in her tracks, pulling him with her, Peter turned to find her staring up at him. Pulling her into his arms, he sighed, "I don't know Livia, but we will think of something…" Placing a small kiss on her head, Peter's mind ran with a million different ways that they could catch Loeb off guard, many of his ideas he knew were not allowed or not going to work. They would just have to think of something together when they got to the FBI building.

Please a review? Doesn't take very long… :D
