'The Gambit? The Queen family yacht? The one that sank 5 years ago? Why would it be about that?'
'Because I found it.'
'Ok. So, it was salvaged from the North China Sea. Still not seeing the connection.'
'It was salvaged alright but not by me. And it's more about where I found it that is the mystery.'
'What do you mean? Where did you find it?'
'In a warehouse. Here in Starling City. '
'In Starling City? Why would someone go to the trouble of salvaging it only to keep it secret?'
'I don't know but, whoever did salvage it, must have had a reason.'
'But why do you think it is connected to our kidnapping?'
'Because I found the warehouse where it was being kept 2 days before we were taken. But that's what I don't understand. If we were taken to keep this a secret why are we still alive? Why haven't we been harmed in anyway?'
'Because we were taken as leverage. There is something bigger going on here. And it goes all the way back to the sinking of the Gambit.'
'Leverage for what? I only just found The Gambit. How could they possibly have known that and organised a kidnapping so quickly?'
'I don't know but they must be' JJ started, pausing before continuing '…. connected'
'What?'
'I thought I heard something outside. Do you know how often the guards patrol the hallway outside?'
'No. It seems like they just come and go randomly.'
No sooner did JJ stop talking than they both heard distinct gunshots and loud noises from the hallway outside.
'Could it be the FBI? Maybe they found us' suggested Walter.
'No. It's not the FBI.'
'Why not?
'Because the FBI wouldn't come in blind without confirming that we were still alive. And there are no cameras in this room, so they can't know for sure.'
'Who else could it be? It doesn't sound like they are the kidnappers side from what I can hear.'
Before JJ could reply the hallway went silent outside. Both JJ and Walter looked at each other and then, when there was a noise directly outside the door, they both turned towards it. JJ pushed Walter behind her just has the door began to open.
To say JJ was shocked when she saw who it was an understatement. The vigilante appeared in the now open doorway. He looked as surprised as her to see she was in the room.
Before JJ could say anything, he put his hand to his ear and 'I got them. Both of them. Can you disable the cameras?'
After pausing for a second, he continued, clearly answering a question from the other end of his comm.
'Yes, both. They're safe. Can you patch me through to her team?'
At this JJ startled.
'My team? What are you talking about?'
'Someone wants to speak to you' the vigilante said, speaking into his comm. He then removed it from his ear before holding it out to JJ.
'What are you doing?'
'You do want to talk to your team, don't you? Here's your chance.'
