"He's not talking, but the best guess is that sometime after Keegan faked his death he discovered that you were in fact still alive."
"He could have left a back door open even after he got the records switched. Saw a mention of my name still being active."
"Seems strange that he would take the risk to come after you."
"Not that strange. We had a mission that involved a very skilled hacker a few months back. She never went after the CIA systems but paranoia is something we do well. So the decision was made to thoroughly check the system. We could have found the back door and figured out who was behind it. Keegan's gambit depended on his having access. At least that's my theory."
"The other one being that he just needed to set everything up. Get access to the police, the Bureau. Find an agent that was moving to DC and kill the poor guy, take his place."
"Yeah, that one works too but that level of crazy just freaks me out a bit." Auggie chuckled. "Okay, feel the way the ground changes right here."
"It feels like ridges." Emily said.
"It is. They put these safety ridges in the flooring so the less than fully sighted know where to walk so they don't step in between cars."
"How long did it take you to learn all this?"
"Learn it, about two weeks. Actually feel okay doing it on my own, more like a couple of months. I had a vocational therapist with me. After the first month of coaching me through it he would follow me but say nothing. Every couple of days he would get further and further apart. Until one day, well I'm pretty sure he wasn't there at all. But I was okay. I made it on my own. Course I manage to get a lot of rides now so I don't use the trains too much but sometimes I like going on my own. Just to remind myself that I can."
"So what happens now?"
"A train comes and we go to the park and listen to a concert."
"I mean with us. I can't imagine the Agency is too keen on you associating with an FBI agent."
"Generally no, they don't like us mingling outside of the family. But Joan's giving this some latitude. I think she feels it's the least she can do since you and your team helped to keep me alive. Speaking of your team, how's Morgan?"
"He's back on duty. And not real happy to know that he got saved by a blind guy. I think it freaked him out a bit."
"Good thing he's more of a Hugo guy." Auggie laughed. "Ah, from the sounds of it, our chariot is approaching. You know you can take off the blindfold if you want."
"Nope, I said I wanted to spend a day in your shoes and I'm sticking to it." Emily replied. "Besides there are some fun uses for a blindfold."
"Oh, do tell."
"Mingus first, then I'll show you."
