Nico is growing very agitated as the paces the kitchen. Nico keeps glancing up at her. His expression concerns her greatly

as it grows darker. She knows there is so much that she needs to tell him. So much she needs to make him understand.

To understand that she is was young. To understand that she made mistakes and that she has spent a lot of time making

up for them. As those thoughts run through her head, she realizes that the two of them maybe far more a like then she

ever realized.

Both of them are startled back to the reality of the moment by Marshall's sudden appearance in the

kitchen. He must be a freaking ninja, Dani thinks to herself, because she did not hear a sound. Marshall

and Nico do not speak which Dani also finds very odd. Marshall moves to the doorway. His gaze is fixed

on Maggie in the next room. Nico is still agitated but is watching Marshall closely.

Marshall is quiet which is not is modus operandi. His expression is as dark as Nico's. Dani cannot figure

out what is going on. This is a sudden and distinct change of events.

Maggie looks up and into the doorway to see Marshall. They seem to exchange a thousand words with

a single look. Maggie does not immediately enter the kitchen. She continues to work at the table with

the men on the computers. Marshall remains steadfast in the doorway. Sean is in the dining room on

and off of multiple cell phones. After a long while, Maggie surfaces from the dining room. She kisses

Marshall on the cheek but does not speak to him. She walks out the door and back into the barn. Sean

watches carefully as Marshall follows her. Sean makes his way to the kitchen. Nico makes a move to

follow but Sean stops him. "They need to talk." He takes up a point at the door watching the barn.

Nico looks at Dani. "We need to talk." Dani almost panics at hearing the words from Nico's lips. He

takes her upstairs to a bedroom. He shuts the door behind him. She takes a seat on the bed as Nico

paces near the bed. "Why… Why didn't you tell me." There is a forcefulness to Nico's voice that is

disconcerting. She is not sure how to react. She is trying to keep her cool but no one has ever

confronted her with her past. He whips around. "Why." She stumbles on her words. "Nico… it's

complicated." These words anger him. He has heard them from Maggie and now Dani. Enough…

Complicated is going to get real simple real fast. "Dani… stop… just stop… I know about your affair with

a married man… I know Ray Jay is not Ray's son. I know that you were a kid who fell into what you

thought was love with one of your father's associates. I KNOW all of it." She is officially rattled. "Nico…

you don't understand." Nico turns around cool in his tone. "I understand completely. You don't

understand that because you didn't trust me enough to tell me… that Maggie is now losing her truth

because of our lies." He goes to the window and looks out at the barn.

Maggie lights the lantern and makes a call on a burn phone. She is not speaking English. She is speaking

Russian. Marshall watches and listens. He understands what she is saying. The words he hears trigger

something that he has not felt for a long, long time. They trigger fear. Fear for how

deep Maggie is willing to dive in to end this. At the same time, he feels the love, the intense love that

drives her every move in this game. He can see toll that the physical pain is taking. He knows her so

well. She is using it. She needs her mind clear. God that beautiful mind… how it amazed him time and

time again. She knows he is there but does not turn while she is on the phone. She needs to focus. To

concentrate on her words… She cannot make a mistake… not now.
