Briggs was right by Mike's side as the EMT's rushed him into the ER. A group of doctors and burses were waiting Briggs moved out of the way to let them work. "27 year old male multiple stab wounds to the abdomen and thigh. Patient was found lying in his own blood unable to move."

"He was injected with venom from a Brazilian Wandering Spider. It paralyzes the body." Briggs shouted.

A doctor and nurse who were working on Mike turned to see Briggs standing there. The nurse came over, "Is the venom lethal?"

"Not that I know of." Briggs said as he kept his focus on Mike. He tried to go up close but the nurse stopped him.

"Sir, are you hurt?" Briggs looked down Mike's blood all over him he shook his head. "Sir, come with me I can find you a room to shower in and some scrubs to wear." Just then the machines started going off at once and the team of doctors and nurses worked double time on Mike.

"Mike!" Briggs yelled trying to get closer but the nurse held him back literally pulling him out of the room.

"I need to be in that room!" he shouted at her.

"No, you don't. Let us team do our job." She said with command. "I know your scared shitless right now and we are going to do everything we can to help your friend." The nurse waved down another nurse, to take Briggs to get cleaned up.

"I'm fine thank you." Biggs said in a low stern tone. The nurse was about to say something but the look on Brigg's face proved he wasn't going to back down. "You need to stay outside you understand?" Briggs nodded as the nurse went back in the room. Briggs stood outside the room like a statue as they worked on Mike.

"Paul?" Briggs turned to see Paige standing there with Charlie, Jakes and Johnny right behind her. Paige walked closer to the door. "Paige you don't want to see in there" Briggs warned but Paige walked to the door anyway. She watched as the doctors were working on controlling Mike's blood lost. "What happened?" She asked Briggs in an emotionless tone.

"I don't know I came back to house and saw his truck. I went inside called out for him then I saw chairs knocked over then I found him lying there motion less. I was on the phone with 911 when an ambulance and cops bust through. He must have made a call before he was attacked."

Jakes kicked over a chair in frustration, "That son of a bitch Damon was right. He told Mike his sister would back for us."

"We need to find the bitch now." Charlie said.

"How we don't even know who she is." Johnny said.

"Yeah, we do in fact the bitch has been working with us this entire God Damn time. She always waves back at me we saw each other on the road. I should have suspected something was up when she didn't wave." Said Briggs.

Everyone turned and faced Briggs, "Wait you're telling us that Amy the goofy looking tech girl is our unsub?" Johnnie asked.

"That's exactly right, Agent Tuturro." They all turned to see Silvo standing there. "Actually her name is Amelia Elizabeth Damon."

"You mean to tell me that the person who had me shot, gave Jakes a concussion, put Paige in a hospital and butchered up Mike was working for us the entire fucking time?!" Johnny screamed

"Agent Tuturro, I know you're upset."

"No I'm beyond upset! Look, in there Mike is bleeding out because of that bitch!"

"Johnny enough!" Charlie yelled. Just then the team working on Mike rushed out with Mike.

"Get the OR team ready. Victim is AB+ get as much as we can." A doctor yelled. The team followed doctors as they took Mike to the elevator. Paige pushed her way to Mike but a few nurses stopped her. "Miss I know you want to see your friend but…."

"He's my husband" she said. One nurse was about to say something but when she looked at Paige's face she realized she wasn't lying took her to Mike. Paige gently placed her hand over his she bent over kissing his forehead brushing the hairs out his face. "Fight Warren" she said softly me. The elevator door opened. "Miss we have to take him" the nurse said. Paige let go and they took him up. "There is a waiting room upstairs I can take you to. I will get you updates on his condition." The nurse said. Paige thanked her and turned back to her friends and Silvo who were standing right there.

"We were in San Francisco assisting in a bomb scare. Mike of course figured out who they were and their location within an hour of being there. We went to the warehouse and I accidentally stepped on a trigger. The bomb was on a timer the place was evacuated but Mike stayed." Paige stopped to compose herself. "They tried to get Mike to leave when they thought all was lost but Mike wouldn't budge. They even tried to forcefully pull him out but Mike broke the guy's nose and locked us in." Tears were rolling down Paige's face but she continued. "He held me close as we thought this was it but then the bomb didn't go off. They stopped it we were so happy to be alive." She laughed thinking of that moment. "After that we went for a walk to calm our nerves we ended up at this party at Crissly Field so we checked it out. Turns the party was an attempt to break the world record for the most wedding done at one place. We had no idea and after we kissed and heard the music we that we just got married."

Charlie went to comfort her friend but Paige back away. "Charlie I just need a minute". Paige then turned and walked down the hallway. The walking turned to a quick jog she soon felt light headed and had trouble breathing. As she made her way outside Paige ran to the nearest trash can and threw up. Paige then wiped her mouth and pulled out her phone. Her fingers trembled as she searched for the number. As phone began to ring Paige fought back the tears that desperately wanted to come flowing out.

"Well this is a surprise? How is my favorite daughter in law?" Sarah Warren said with such joy. Paige held back as much as she could but the tears came running down. Paige covered her mouth as she sobbed on the phone.

Sarah heard the tears and went into mom mode, "Paige honey what the matter? Where's Mike?"

"Sarah something's happened to Mike". Paige said between the tears. Sarah Warren's bright mood turned dark as her daughter in law explained what happened.


Charlie looked at Silvo and was about to say something but Silvo cut her off, "Demarco I know what you're going to say but right now the relationship status of Warren and Arkin is not my number one concern. I know you're hurting right now, but I need you to get your heads back in the game. I need you to help us capture Amelia Damon."

"We'll be more than happy to track that bitch down." Johnny said with anger in his voice. "Sorry, Charlie." he said remembering how much Charlie hates that word.

"No, Johnny she's a bitch and we're gonna take her down." She said. "The question is where do we start looking? Her apartment maybe?"

"No, her apartment has been vacated. It looks like no one has lived there in weeks. Her bank account and credit cards have not been used either and her phone has been disconnected." Silvo said.

"There are 9.9 million people that live in LA County where do we start?" Jakes said in frustration.

"I know someone who can." They turn around to see Heather standing there. "Heather what are you…."

"I was on the phone when Mike was attacked. The guys stationed out Bobby's called 911 and notified your bosses. They told me he was here. How is he?"

"Excuse me who are you?" Silvo asked. "Sir, this is Heather Miller. Her husband was working on a special project that assisted us in taking down Damon." Johnny answered.

"Do I want to know what this project was?" Silvo asked Charlie.

"It would better for you if you didn't, Sir." She said.

Silvo smiled then looked at Heather, "Well, whatever your husband did he has my thanks."

"Heather, I'm Charlie Demarco, this is Paul Briggs we work with Johnny. This is Dale Jakes he's Customs."

"So you all work with Mike?" she asked

Everyone looked at Johnny, "Don't blame me the woman's smart. She knew Mike was a fed the minute she met him" Johnny said

"I appreciate the compliment Johnny thank you but right now you all need to go see Bobby."

""Why?"

"He wouldn't tell me. He just asked me to get anyone who worked with Mike to see him. I only knew of you Johnny and when they told me Mike was brought here I figured you would be here. Johnny where's Paige?"

"She needed to be alone how do you know Paige?" Charlie asked.

"She was with Mike when Bobby was shot."

"Mrs. Miller what room is your husband in?" Silvo asked trying to keep things on course.

"Seventh floor room 727. If you don't mind I like to check in on Paige if that's ok."

"That won't be a problem. She would appreciate that." Briggs said then turned to Charlie, "If you want to check in on Paige we can follow up with you after."

"No it's fine if Bobby has something that will help us get Amy then I want to know first. Heather take care of her."

"I will."


Heather walked outside to find Paige standing next to a wall sobbing. She walked up to her placing her hand on her shoulder. Paige looked up no words were said as Heather pulled her in for a hug. "I'm gonna kill that bitch" Paige said.

"Get in line. She shot my guy first" Paige laughed, "Hey we could do it together. Girls night out?" Heather laughed, "It's a date the boys can watch the kids." The thought of Mike taking care of two kids under the age of five made her smile but then the reality of that not being able to happen brought on more tears."

"He's going to be fine Paige" Heather said holding her once more. Paige looked up, "How do you know that? You didn't see him Heather there no color in his face, they barley had the stab wounds contained, he was unresponsive"

"Mike Warren is a fighter you know that better than anyone. He is going to make it. You understand?" Paige could only nod. "Did you contact his family?"

"Yeah his parents are on the next flight out. My family is driving down from the Bay Area"

"You want me to stay with you until they arrive"

"That would be great thank you." Paige went to move but Heather stopped her. "It's going o be awhile let's stay out here for a bit then we can go in ok?" Paige again nodded and as they held one another both felt a strong presence that both couldn't understand.

Bobby was on the phone when Johnny, Briggs, Jakes, Charlie and Silvo walked in. "I appreciate the help, man, keep me posted alight later." Once off the phone Silvo approached, "Mr. Miller, I'm agent…"

"Silvo, yeah I know and that's Paul Briggs, Charlie Demarco, Joe "Johnny" Tuturro and Dale Jakes. I know who you are from your files on the stolen database plus your names were after Mike's on the list."

"What list would that be?" Silvo asked.

"The kill list. The bitch that shot me had a list of every agent she wanted to kill." All the agents looked at each other. "I know crazy shit. How's Mike?"

"Not good he has two stab wounds to his stomach and one to his upper right thigh. He lost a lot of blood before we found him." Briggs answered.

Bobby slammed his hands on the bed. "I knew that girl was trouble. When I first saw her that day with Mike. I got a bad feeling about her I should have gone with my gut."

"Bobby, it's not your fault she played us all." Johnny said.

"Mr. Miller, Amelia Damon is out there do you have any information that can help us?" Silvo asked.

"I can help you track her. By now she's gotten rid of all evidence to find her am I right?"

"On the money." Briggs answered.

"She didn't get rid of everything. She still has the computer I hacked into."

"Why would she keep it?" Briggs asked.

"The money."

"What money?" Jakes asked.

"The twenty million dollars she stole from my former work associates."

"I'm sorry can you repeat that?" Silvo asked.

"Damon has twenty million dollars from some not very nice people."

"How do they know she stole it?" Charlie asked.

"Because she sent a nice note to them thanking them for her early retirement fund with an attached picture of her with dad; who was that FBI guy from the picture I found on one of the files. Some of my friends knew who he was and are pissed. There's a hit out for her and the reward is big."

"How big we talking?" Biggs asked

"Seven figures."

"Jesus." Silvo said running his hand over his head.

"You need to find her before they do because she can still burn all of you."

Jakes looked up, "Holy shit you don't mean?"

"Yep."

"What the fuck is going on?" Johnny asked.

"Amy still has the list Johnny." Jakes answered.

"If they catch her she can give them the list for her life. Hell, they'll let her keep the money as a thank you." Everyone went quiet as each person tried to figure out what to do next. "Look I'm trying to turn over a new leaf for me and my family so I'm going to help you catch her before my friends do."

"Look, Bobby we appreciate the help but you can't leave the hospital." Briggs said. Bobby handed Charlie a piece of paper.

"What's this?" she asked.

"A list of items I will need in my search. Like I said before she still has her computer which she has used to transfer the money into off shore bank accounts. She still needs the computer and my virus is still on there she just doesn't know it."

Silvo took the list from Charlie, "I'll have what you need in twenty minutes. You four do whatever it takes but get this girl."

"We're on it boss." Johnny said.

Briggs looked at Charlie, "Let's go hunting."
