"How come we get a couple rooms at the Ramada and spy boy gets a suite at the Marriott?" Cody complained, setting up his computer the way he likes.
"Because he's compensating for something else?" Alex smirked, carrying a box into the room.
"Girl, that's cold." Monica laughed, tossing the file on Robertson onto the desk.
"Would he be able to convince her to leave the States with him?" Jake asked Donovan.
"Jason might." Donovan admitted, placing their take out onto the table, "Lily and Jason are about a year a part."
"How old is he?" Alex asked, digging into the first bag.
"Twenty-six." Donovan replied, "His file is on the desk. He was recruited young. He's very good in his job. I'd want him on our side."
"Then why did you refuse to help him?" Cody asked, looking for his food. "Where's my food?"
"It's not his fight." Donovan stated, handing Cody his bag.
"You said early Lily didn't realize how dangerous it was until towards the end, what happened?" Monica asked.
"Lily really didn't realize how dangerous Robertson was until she witnessed him kill another man." Donovan explained.
"What did she do?" Alex asked.
"She ran. We had her wired so we could hear and see everything she saw. When she ran, we thought she would come running to us. The safe house was a couple buildings down from Robertson's place. She never showed up."
"What happened to her?" Monica asked.
"She walked around Paris for hours before contacting Jason. She would only meet with him. She was scared. Jason didn't let anyone know at first Lily contacted him. He made some excuse up to leave the safe house."
"I followed him to the Louvre." Donovan explained. "When Lily saw Jason walk to their meeting spot, she ran to him and threw her arms around him. She was begging Jason not to let us send her back into Robertson's house. It dawned on me that Jason was the only person who treated Lily like a person. The rest of us treated her like a piece of equipment."
Donovan sat down in the chair and thought back to the conversation he overheard between the two.
"I can't go back there Jason," Lily cried, "He killed that man because of me. He voiced his doubts I was Robertson's daughter and he killed him for that. I can't go back there."
"Ssh, it's okay," Jason soothed, brushing the hair out of her face. "I can't make you go back there Lily, but we do need you. We get Robertson in jail, he won't be able to hurt anyone."
"But, if he finds out I'm not really his daughter, he'll kill me." Lily whispered.
"He won't." Jason swore, wiping the tears, "We're a few 'ouses away, remember? We won't let Robertson hurt, much less find out your real identity. Okay, pet?"
"What do I tell him about my running off?' she asked.
"Just tell him the man's doubts upset you and you needed some time alone." Jason smiled, cupping her face. "Trust me, luv?"
"Yes." she replied.
"Good," Jason smiled, leaning in and gently kissing her, "now go before Robertson sends out the troops. I'll keep you safe."
Donovan watched as Lily composed herself before leaving the room. He watched as she stopped at the entrance, turned to look at Jason one more time before leaving.
"I know you're there Frank," Jason hissed, sticking a cigarette into his mouth, "You Americans needs to learn manners."
Donovan walked over to Jason and threw him against the wall. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Donovan spat out, "How could you take advantage of her like that? She's young and she's starting to realize she can get killed."
"I'm not taking advantage of Lily!" Jason replied, shoving Donovan away, "I'm trying to keep her alive."
"You two may be the same age and you might act older than you are. Don't be shocked Jason, I know everything about you. I know everything about the people I work with." Donovan revealed. "I know how the British government recruited you at age seventeen. I know how you'll turn twenty-one in three weeks, if I don't kill you for taking advantage of Lily."
"Give me some credit," Jason retorted, "That was the firs time I ever touched 'er. I know a few things about you too, mate. Like I know yer pretty wife thinks you're working for the FBI and not working for the CIA on the side. I wonder how she'll take it when she finds out?"
"Stay away from Morgan." Donovan growled, grabbing Jason by the throat. "You have no idea who you're messing with boy."
"Yea?" Jason smirked, "Neither do you, mate. For the record, I do care about Lily. It makes me sick that we're using her to get to Robertson."
"It doesn't make me happy either Jason." Donovan replied, letting him go.
"Really? Seems that you and your mate only care about being Robertson down." Jason spat out. "tell me Frank, when he finds out she's not his kid, and he will, will you think about her safety for the rest of her life? Will you mourn her if he kills her? Would you and your government give her a second thought?"
"I think you need to get off this case," Donovan calmly replied, "you're too emotionally involved."
"Too emotionally involved?" Jason started to laugh, "This coming from the robot himself! When the case is done and Lily is safe back in the States, then I'm done. I promised I'll protect her and I never break a promise."
"We need to get back." Donovan replied, taking in what Jason said.
"If Lily would've asked me to take her back to the States, I'd have her on that plane right now." Jason admitted, walking to the exit.
"Me too," Donovan muttered, "me too."
"He was sleeping with her?" Cody asked, shaking his head.
"No, he respected her more than that." Donovan admitted now, "He would've died for her. That's more than I could say for the rest of us. In some ways, Jason was a better agent than we were."
"Um, I hate to break up the sad story," Jake said, handing him Jason's file, "He said that Robertson blew up his car and he enjoyed telling his ex-wife about it."
"He did." Donovan confirmed.
"There's nothing in his file about the attempt and it says nothing about an ex-wife." Jake pointed out, "It says he was never married."
"Donovan?" Alex questioned.
"Cody, how long will it take you to tap into the credit reports, DMV and police records?" Donovan asked.
"A couple hours. Why?" he replied, putting his food down.
"You have an hour." Donovan ordered, "We need to find Lily now!"
"Because he's compensating for something else?" Alex smirked, carrying a box into the room.
"Girl, that's cold." Monica laughed, tossing the file on Robertson onto the desk.
"Would he be able to convince her to leave the States with him?" Jake asked Donovan.
