"So why didn't you tell Sab about Dom?" Paula asks as the three of them sit
around the main screen trying to figure out what they will do next. They
had been talking out plans for the last few hours and it was becoming
pretty late now.
"Sab had her life back to how she wanted it. I didn't want to wreck it for her." Bea replies looking over the old case files from the day Dom had escaped from prison.
"The only way to draw Dom out into the open, is Sab. That's all I know is what he wants." Heather says leaning back into her chair. They were all tired from thinking.
"I don't want to use her as bait." Bea says looking up from the files. "She's been through enough already."
"But why does he still want her." Paula asks. "I mean, if he wanted her dead, he would've done it before. So why is he still coming back?"
"He's really possessive." Bea answers. "When they were together, Dom had always been around her. They both relied on each other and no one else. Sab has been able to break free of that bond, but he hasn't."
"So basically he wants her back cause she was like his security blanket. He is very insecure without her." Heather replies looking at Bea.
"Something like that." Bea says, still thinking.
"But if he wants her back, why would he have threatened to kill her before?" Paula asks, referring back when Dom had turned the gun on Sab.
"I guess he thinks, if he can't have her, no one will." Heather suggests. "Plus when he learned that Cody was now in her life, that really just tipped the scale." Just then Dee and Sab enter HQ.
"I thought I told you two to stay at the apartment." Bea says looking at the two.
"I can't stay in one place too long. Besides we're picking up Cody from the airport soon." Sab says still sounding a bit mad at Bea.
"He's on his way home?" Paula asks her as she sits down.
"His flight lands in the next while. He'll call when his plane lands." Sab replies. "So, have you come up with anything?"
"Not an exact plan." Heather answers leaning back into her chair.
"Basically all you can come up with is using me as bait, huh?" Sab says looking to her.
"Basically, sorry." Heather says looking back at her.
"Don't be. Not your fault we had hooked up years ago." Sab says sighing. "So there's the plan."
"No, we're not using use as bait." Bea steps in.
"It's the only way he's gonna come out." Sab says looking at Bea.
"I'm not risking your life just to bring him in." Bea says just as the phone rings. Heather picks it up.
"Hello?" She pauses as she listens to the voice on the other end. She takes the phone from her ear and hands it to Sab. "It's for you."
"Dom." Dee mouths to Heather so that he wouldn't hear. Heather nods.
"What do you want?" Sab asks into the phone.
"Just turn your computer on to triple w dot livefeed dot com." He says to her and hangs up. Sab puts the phone down then runs to the computer.
"What did he say?" Bea asks following her. The rest behind her.
"He wants me to check this site. No idea wh..." Sab stops in mid-sentence as the page loads on the browser. "Oh my god."
"What?" Bea asks as she looks onto the screen.
"Cody." Sab says looking on the computer. It was a live feed showing Cody tied and gagged and looking pretty beat up. Underneath the live feed, a message was blinking. Will he live to see the next day???
"How did he get Cody?" Paula asks turning to the rest of the team who were just as stunned as her.
"He must have jumped him at the airport." Heather replied. "But all by himself?"
"What do you know about Jason's crew?" Sab asks turning to Bea.
"What do you mean?"
"Meaning, were you ever told what happened to the crew we were working with when your team took us out?" Sab asks again. "I was told that Dom had taken him out. But since I have been told different on everything, I want to know the truth." Bea hesitates a minute.
"Dom did take Jason out, but his crew didn't split. Dom convinced them to join up with the hackers." Bea replies. "The crew had had enough with Jason."
"Then that's how he got Cody." Sab says turning back to the monitor. She could see that Cody was still hanging in there.
"How many were apart of Jason's group?" Dee asks Sab.
"About five that I worked with." Sab answers not taking her eyes off Cody.
"There's only two left now." Bea adds in. Sab turns around to face her. "One's in prison for life, the other two are dead. We took them out a week after you were placed on probation."
"Is there anything else I wasn't told that I should be told?" Sab asks sounding angry again.
"I didn't tell you cause I wanted you to get your life back in order." Bea yells back at her.
"Yeah, well look what good that did." Sab snaps back at her.
"Will you two just forget about it right now?!" Heather steps in to stop the two. "We have to find where he is keeping Cody."
"Fine." Sab says turning back to the screen. She scrolls down observing the page as if looking for something.
"Dee and Heather, get bulletproof vests out, and your weapons. We'll leave as soon as we get a location." Bea orders to the two. They nod and walk out of the room.
"What are you looking for?" Paula asks Sab as she watches her scroll through the page.
"Dom always hid a small link. To an address or something to get in contact with him." Sab says as she spots a small blue dot at the bottom of the page. "There." Sab clicks it and it brings up an e-mail address. She copies it and starts to write out an e-mail.

When???
Where???
Cody better not be hurt or it will be you next!
"A little threatening isn't it?" Paula asks reading over the e-mail.
"I don't care anymore. I have had it with being scared of him." Sab says as she sends the e-mail off. "He should be monitoring his incoming mail."
"Can you trace where the feed is coming from?" Bea asks.
"Dom always places a virus on the feed, so that if you try and trace it, it will activate and cut the feed." Sab answers not turning around. "I do that, we lose the image."
Just then the computer beeps that a new message has come up. Sab opens it.

Computer convention downtown. When I know you are alone I'll come get you.
"He wants to meet in public?" Paula asks. "Why there?"
"Big crowds." Sab answers. "He won't be easily noticed then."
"Then we won't be noticed either." Bea says looking onto the monitor.
"Sab had her life back to how she wanted it. I didn't want to wreck it for her." Bea replies looking over the old case files from the day Dom had escaped from prison.
"The only way to draw Dom out into the open, is Sab. That's all I know is what he wants." Heather says leaning back into her chair. They were all tired from thinking.
