A/n: Wow I haven't updated any of my stories in awhile! I just moved a month ago and didn't even have wifi at my house until a week or two ago.
Anyways, so my story may or not be not even close to this season ha! I think the only things I got right are that Stella's middle name Frances is the actual kid's name and Carrie does in fact have a c-section scar, oh and that Quinn is cute as hell and Fara and Max WILL become a couple. They must!
Thanks Bookworm and redlighting for the reviews. I'll try to update quicker next time.

The silence creeping up again is unsettling, but not nearly as horrendous as Maura's wrong doing. This woman has drawn her final straw, and unfortunately a comfy prison cell is not in the cards.
His blurred view is hardly a problem. A few turns of the knob now fixes the focus for Quinn as he adjusts his lens. No traffic yet in the remote landscape, but it is sure to come. This particular route is certain.
The bus finally makes an appearance, but not without a challenge. As it slowly begins to descend, her position becomes clear and of course she happens to be on the other side. Quinn has no time to consider any other passenger that might get in his way. As the vehicle is almost stopped, she turns her head to a fellow inmate appearing to laugh at a joke.
How could she possibly be laughing? He thinks. In fact the last time he allows himself to think before he turns into machine mode. He wants it clear who deserves to be dead, aiming as precisely as possible, releasing the trigger just as the wheels roll back.
With his face still glued to the scope, he watches as the aftermath unfolds. A shot right between the eyes. The other inmates are horrified, ducking as if they're under attack. After a few seconds and being sure he hit his target, he makes his way into the woods, retreating back to his truck. He doesn't feel bad about it and won't. The focus is now on what had it all been about to begin with, helping Carrie find peace.

"Saul? What are you doing here?" Maggie asks answering the door with Stella in her arms.
"Sorry to drop by unannounced, but is your sister here?"
"No," Maggie says a little annoyed.
"Do you know where she is is?" Saul asks confused.
"She got a call early this morning, some guy named Tony. She said she had to leave," Maggie explains.
"She left the country!? She wasn't suppose to leave yet!"
"Saul you're telling me something I already know."
"No I mean, I think she's in danger," he urges.
"So she knew she was in trouble, yet still left!?"
"Quinn was going to tell her, he was suppose-."
Saul stops as he and Maggie see Quinn heading towards to door.
"Saul? What are you doing here?" Quinn questions.
"Can someone please just tell me what's going on here?" Maggie interrupts before Saul can answer.
"Quinn we need to leave now!"
"Saul?"
"She left already, we need to leave now."
"Fine," Quinn quickly agrees. "I'll have your sister call you when we see her her," he assures Maggie.
Maggie closes her eyes and shakes her head, "Fine."
"Good," Quinn answers as Saul is hustling him to the car.
"Saul you were suppose to leave yesterday, what are you even doing here?"
"Just drive Peter."
"Saul!"
"Fine, I wanted to warn her. I wanted to let her know about Dar."
"I had that taken care of Saul."
"Well obviously you didn't because she's gone. Tony Shalid got to her."
"Tony? Do you think he's in cahoots?"
"We'll find out."
10:00 a.m.
"Carrie Mathison?" The police question as Maggie answers the door.
"Um- no I'm her sister. Is she okay?"
Maggie asks anxiously.
"As far as we know your sister is fine, but she was listed as our contact for inmate number 167427. Legal name Maura Mathison."
"Well I'm her sister and she has left left the country as far as I know. So whatever it is you can tell me." Maggie says agitated. "Maura... she is our mother."
"Well then, I'm here to inform you that she passed away this morning on the way to her permanent facility."
"She's- she's gone!" Maggie cries, the officers not realizing that they're tears of joy.
"We're sorry for your loss," they say as Maggie is hysterical.
"Thank you for letting me know." Maggie tells them as they leave.

"Carrie? What are you doing here? I was told you were being briefed at Langley?" Emery says.
"Briefed? I tried to talk to Lockhart. He was dodging me all yesterday morning so I left. Came here for myself."
"So you know then?"
"That all of our suspects are currently being ship here from around the world? Yes Tony told me that much."
"Yes well maybe you didn't need to speak with Lockhart. You seem to know what's going on," Emery observes.
"Well what I don't understand is why this happened without my approval!" She says throwing her hands in the air.
"I had nothing to do with this Carrie. Maybe he just knew you'd come."
She stops in her tracks, realizing it was exactly that. Lockhart knew as soon as she'd heard what was going on that she'd be back in an instant.
"I'm going to see Javadi," she says while attempting to rush out.
"Carrie wait!"
"What!"
"We should wait to hear from Langley. Sit tight a bit."
"Why!?"
"Do you really want to go into this blindfolded?"
"I'm not! I have eight days and the clock starts now!"
"Carrie please. You said it to me yourself. Don't pull the trigger until you have all your facts straight."
"Fine... I guess for the time being, tell me everything you know," she reluctantly gives in.
3:00 p.m.
"Quinn? Saul?" Fara questions seeing the two enter the compound.
"Fara where is Carrie?" Saul asks immediately.
"At home? She's not here." Fara explains.
"She got on a plane. What do you mean she's not here?"
"Carrie is not here. But I do know that she spoke with Tony and that he's expecting her soon."
"Carrie's not here, I'm sorry," Tony says.
"Has anything strange happened since she left last week? Anything at all?" Quinn asks.
"Not that I can recall."
"What about Langley. What have you heard from them?"
"I was only told to tell Carrie that her prisoners were on their way to Tehran. That was it."
"And she said?"
"She said she was on her way."
"Yet she's not here? Where else could she be?" Quinn asks then suddenly gasps. "Fuck!"
"What?" Tony says.
"Not what! Where! She's in Tehran."
"You sure?"
"Positive. I'm going there with Saul now. Call me if you hear anything!"
"O-kay? What exactly is going on?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out."
4:00 p.m.
This is ridiculous, I need to go tell Javadi," Carrie insists to Emery after not getting any substantial information from him.
"Carrie no one knows that you're here. If you leave now you'll be on your own."
"I don't care! I'm not losing my job over everyone else not knowing what the fuck is going on!"
"Carrie please!"
"I'm going."
She leaves the compound and finds her way to Javadi. He suspects that she is the reason for what is going on. It's not as if he didn't approve of the transfers, but he has been weary about the urgency.
5:00 p.m.
"Can we talk?" She says without a greeting, meeting him right outside headquarters.
"Not here. I was just about to fetch my dinner. Care to join?"
"Fuck! I guess so?"
"I have a car waiting. Come."
"A cheeseburger joint? Really?" Carrie mocks him.
"What can I say, I love your food," Javadi quips.
"Are we alone?"
"Does it look like anyone else is here?"
"Where are you putting these people?"
"Geez we just got here. You can't wait?" "No this has to happen now!" Carrie presses.
"We have a facility directly off the main building. As they come in, we book them in the holding center," Javadi admits.
"Okay and then what? Can I speak with them? I can have a team here in a day."
"I would like to speak with them first. I'll let you have them in a week or so," he offers.
"A week? I don't have a fucking week! I need to figure out what's going on now. I need to know if anything is planned and I need to know exactly why!"
"Patience. Patience. I don't plan on letting many live anyways."
Carrie narrows her eyes at him, looking like she's ready to pounce as his food arrives.
"You know this is not how this works!"
"Okay Carrie three days. That's the best I can do without raising eyebrows."
"Not a second longer!"
"Why the rush!"
Because my job is on the line!
"Because that's how I operate."
"Fine Carrie. Can I eat now?"
"Yeah yeah. Sure. Indulge."
As they walk out of restaurant, Carrie and Javadi instinctively notice how quiet everything seems. They exchange a pair of uneasy stares until they see what is happening right before their eyes. They watch as the building directly next to IRGC headquarters is hit, then immediately up in flames, the same building they were headed for.
Javadi is furious and immediately questions her.
"What the fuck is this!"
A/n: If you had forgotten then William Emery is the Station chief in Tehran.
