Since Stiles and Terri are now secretly married. I've changed some of the scenes to have it play out a little different. This part deals with Our Man in Washington.
A/N Thank you for the review Liz. Don't worry there is plenty more. This part is almost done then I'll start posting the last part of the trilogy, The Past Comes Round Again.
Chapter 18
As Stiles held Terri in his arms, he heard the sirens. He looked up to see Shelton, Carl and Jackson.
Carl asked. "What the hell happened?"
"Terri was shot. We need to get her help."
Jackson ran to Terri and Stiles. "The bullet is in her stomach."
"God, you've got to do something, the baby."
Shelton sat down with Stiles and tried to stop the bleeding. "Stiles I called for the ambulance, they'll be here in just a few minutes." Stiles just sat there touching Terri's stomach and kissing her.
He quietly whispered through his tears. "I'm so sorry Terri. I love you. Please just hold on."
Carl and Jackson were talking on the other side of the barn, they needed to figure out what to do and fast. "Carl, are you going to let them take Joshua?"
"Not yet. We need to clean up this scene." Carl and Jackson brought Kim and the others to a truck and drove them away. They took Joshua with them also. Shelton stayed with Stiles. "Gloria, we'll catch up with you later." Carl told her as they were leaving, she nodded. "Take care of them."
They had barely left when the ambulance pulled up. "Stiles, let them take care of her." she told him as she gently pulled him away from Terri. Gloria continued to talk to Stiles in a calm and soothing voice. "They're going to help her." Stiles was never so scared in his life. He wasn't sure if she was unconscious from the paralytic or the bullet. They put her in the ambulance, Stiles rode in back with her and Shelton rode in the front seat. She kept looking back at him and Terri. She asked the driver "Is she going to make it?"
"Probably, but its hard to tell about the baby." Shelton knew that Stiles would be distraught if he lost either of them.
Carl and Jackson brought everyone to a safe house in Fairfax. They tied up Kim and his friends. About 30 minutes after Joshua had released the paralytic they came to. Joshua's first concern was Terri. "Did she make it? Please tell me Stiles saved her."
Carl was disgusted with Joshua as well as Quinn and Gage. "We don't know. They were bringing her to the hospital." Carl pointed his finger in Joshua's face. "Did you know she is pregnant?" Joshua put his head down and nodded yes. "So help me God, if anything happens to either Terri or that baby, you won't have to worry about what Stiles is going to do to you. There won't be anything left when I get done." Carl walked away. Joshua wanted to explain, but decided it wouldn't do any good.
Jackson just looked at Joshua he had no idea what to say to him. Even though in the end he tried to save Terri, he couldn't forget Terri wouldn't be in this trouble if it weren't for him. Jackson followed Carl into the other room where they were holding Kim. Kim was confused as to what was going on. "Who are you?"
"My name is Carl Reese. I am the Deputy Director of the CIA."
Kim knew this was going to be a problem. He didn't know that Joshua Nankin was a double agent. Joshua watched through a two way mirror as Carl began the interrogation.
At Langley Quinn walked into Gage's office. He only knew that Joshua went to the farm, he didn't know about Terri or Stiles. "I think Joshua did something stupid."
"What?"
"He went to the farm. When I called to tell him the FBI was closing in I heard them talking."
"Why did he do that? Why would he risk everything?"
"I told you they were planning on taking Terri to North Korea. He was determined to save her."
Tom began to get nervous. "Robert, what is going on around here? We need to do some serious damage control. Have you seen Jackson, Stiles or Carl around?"
"No I haven't this is strange." Neither one of them could figure out what was going on. They would find out soon enough.
Back at the hospital, Terri was rushed into emergency surgery. Stiles called Helen and his mother to tell them that Terri was hurt. He couldn't tell them everything, but he wanted them both there.
Shelton and Stiles sat in the waiting area. Gloria saw Stiles was still holding the charm bracelet, she looked at the charms, she wanted to try and get Stiles to talk. "That one is the same as your ring."
"Terri and I chose those for our wedding rings for two reasons." he looked at his ring and thought about the meaning. "Its an Irish Claddagh ring. I won't go into the whole history of it, but the hearts represents love, the hands friendship and the crown loyalty."
"That's really beautiful Stiles. I never knew what it meant. What was the 2nd reason?"
"Terri's father was Irish and so is my mother, I grew up in Ireland. Nobody would suspect that they were our wedding rings."
"That was a great idea."
"A. B! Where's Terri?" Helen Fremont came running up to Stiles.
"Mom, she is in surgery." Helen looked at Shelton, it was as if Stiles already knew what she was thinking, who was this woman sitting with her son-in-law? "This is Agent Shelton from the FBI she helped me find Terri."
Helen was so grateful that she hugged her, "Thank you Agent Shelton, thank you for finding my little girl."
"I'm sure she will be fine." Gloria took Stiles hand. "Stiles, I need to go do the paperwork. Call me on my cell as soon as you know something."
Stiles gave her a hug. "Thank you. I'll call as soon as we know something." Stiles sat down with Helen. "I guess you want to know exactly what is going on."
"Yes."
"Terri was coming home from work and she was kidnapped from her car."
"Why? Why would someone do this to Terri?"
"I don't know, because she is with the State Department, they brought the FBI right in."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I'm really sorry about that. I was working on the investigation also. I should have called. I didn't want you to worry. I just wanted to find her."
Helen put her arms around Stiles. "I know. It's going to be ok."
Stiles looked at Helen, she needed to know about the baby. He knew how much she wanted to be a grandmother. "Mom, there is something else. Terri is pregnant."
"How far along? Why didn't she tell me?"
"She found out the other day, the day she was kidnapped, she didn't even tell me. I went home to get something from the house, and found the test."
"Is the baby ok?"
"We don't know." Stiles and Helen sat there quietly for a while. Stiles didn't know what to say. He began thinking about the baby. He hadn't thought about when it was conceived, all of a sudden it came to him. It must have been the night in Mexico City, after they killed Andrei. Was this his payback? He told Jackson he was going to hell. Was this the hell he would have to live through? Was he going to have to live without Terri and the baby, his baby? Stiles didn't want to cry but a tear rolled down his cheek. Helen looked at him and hugged him as he cried.
Carl began his interrogation of Kim. "We know that the CIA had a mole giving you information. Who is it?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Carl pulled out his file. He began citing all of the operations blown by the mole. "We had a mission to Iraq just last fall. Our mission was compromised. We know that the mole gave you the information. Now all we want to know is who that is." Kim looked at him and didn't answer. "Understand one thing Mr. Kim, we will find out who betrayed our fellow agents and our country with or without your help. It might be to your benefit if you decided to cooperate with us."
"Iraq. What makes you think we care about Iraq?"
Carl threw a picture on the table, it was of Kim and Saddam Hussein. "Your buddy Saddam is hiding out right now. We know that you were involved in selling arms and nuclear weapons to Hussein."
"You have no proof. You don't even know what you are talking about."
"We'll see." was all Carl said as he walked out of the room. Now it was time for him to sit there and think. After Carl left Jackson walked in, he put a semtex necklace like the one that was around Terri's neck on Kim's. He didn't say anything as he walked out. Kim just sat there in silence he needed to figure a way out.
Tom and Robert were sitting in Tom's office trying to find out what happened. Shelton walked in. "Terri is dying in the hospital. Stiles is with her." Carl had sent her to Gage's office, he wanted to see what their reactions were.
Tom felt a small pang of guilt. "What happened?"
"They shot her."
Quinn had to fight hard to hide a smile. "Well, I guess our mole finally killed an agent. Tom we really need to work extra hard at finding him or her. I assume this proves Mr. Holland wrong. Terri Lowell was not the mole."
"It's really a shame Miss Lowell was a fantastic agent. She will be missed." Tom's phone rang, it was his brother Dave. "Dave is everything ok?"
"We're on our way into Washington, I'm on the plane now. Its going to land in an hour could you pick us up. We need to get to the hospital to see A. B. and Terri. He called to say she was shot."
"I heard that she was in bad shape and dying." Dave's heart sank. He knew this must be ripping his stepson to pieces. "I'll pick you up." Tom wrote down the flight information. Dave hung up and told Hannah what Tom had heard, he put his arms around his wife as she cried.
It was important in their plan that Tom and Quinn not suspect that they knew of their involvement. Jackson and Carl went to the hospital. Stiles and Helen were still frantically waiting for news about Terri. Stiles introduced them to Helen and they sat together. Stiles was doing his best not to fall apart in front of Helen. He knew how hard this was and he needed to be strong for her.
When Hannah walked in and Stiles saw his mother, he couldn't control it anymore. As Hannah held him he cried like a baby. Dave put his arms around them both. Stiles loved both of them, when he finally was able to get some control back he looked to see Uncle Tom standing there. The anger he felt towards him could no longer be contained. "You bastard. This is all your fault." He punched Tom and knocked him to the ground.
Dave looked at Hannah and quickly got in between his brother and son. "Stiles what are you talking about?"
"Ask your brother." Stiles turned and walked away. Jackson followed him, trying to calm him down.
Carl knew this wasn't the time for Gage to know what they knew. "Mr. Gage, I think what Stiles was talking about was that since Terri was with the State Department, all agencies were immediately called in. I think Stiles was just thinking we should have been able to find her sooner."
Tom looked at Carl, "Dave this is my Deputy Director at the CIA, Carl Reese. He was working with the FBI to find Terri. I'm sure that is what Stiles was talking about." Tom made a mental note to thank him later.
Jackson explained to Stiles, "Right now, don't make any waves. We have Kim and his buddies in a safe house. Carl wants to get enough information to hang Quinn and Gage. Right now just play nice. Concentrate on Terri."
"What about Joshua?"
"Stiles he is sick about it. He wants to make it up to Terri. He doesn't care about Quinn or Tom. He is ready to do whatever we need him to."
"Too little, too late." Stiles told him disgusted.
Stiles and Jackson walked out as the doctor came down from surgery. "Mr. Stiles. She is going to be fine. We repaired the damage from the bullet. She is very lucky, the bullet missed the uterus. The baby should be fine too." Stiles took a deep breath.
"Can I see her?"
"She is still in recovery. Probably in about 30 or 40 minutes." Stiles hugged Helen and Hannah. He was so relieved that she was going to be ok.
Hannah looked at him. "Did he say baby?"
"Ma, I didn't get a chance to tell you. We're going to have a baby. We just found out. Terri doesn't even know that I know." Stiles explained about finding the test.
Tom didn't know what to think. Terri knew Joshua was the mole, if she says anything, his career would be over. Carl looked at his mentor and realized that he was tainted by Quinn. Tom Gage and Robert Quinn were exactly alike. This saddened Carl. He didn't want to betray his boss, but he knew for sure what he had to do.
When Terri was finally brought to a room everyone felt Stiles should go see her first. Stiles walked in and Terri couldn't help but smile, even though she was in pain. Stiles looked at her. He sat down next to her. "I'm sorry Terri. I love you. I'm sorry about everything I said and the way I acted in Montreal."
"I'm the one that's sorry. I love you. I was so afraid I wouldn't get to tell you that again." Stiles put his arms around her. "Stiles I don't know if you know. I found out I was pregnant before I got called in by Holland."
"I found the test." a worried look came over her face. "Don't worry the baby is going to be fine." tears started to flow. Stiles kissed her forehead. "There's no reason to cry, everything is ok now."
"Stiles we still need to talk out what happened in Montreal, but not now, not here." Stiles nodded, he really felt like that didn't matter anymore. He felt like his jealousy over Brian was stupid, he blamed himself for leaving Terri alone. It they hadn't been fighting he would have gone with her to headquarters and could have stopped the whole thing. "What about Joshua?" Terri was still very hurt by his betrayal.
"Terri, Joshua has been acting as a double agent for the past 12 years."
"Double agent?"
"Under the orders of Quinn and Gage." Terri looked at him shocked, she couldn't believe what he was telling her. "Terri, he disobeyed their orders to rescue you. We never would have been able to save you or the baby without his help."
"Gage and Quinn?" Stiles nodded. Terri was afraid to ask but she needed to know. "What were the orders?"
Stiles hated telling her but he couldn't lie to her. "To let them take you to North Korea, they would try to rescue when and if they could sometime in the future." Terri started to cry. "Terri, they will pay for this. Carl, is going to see to it."
"Carl?"
"Terri he was one of the few people I could trust. Joshua released some paralytic in the barn. I came in and rescued you. Carl and Jackson took Kim and all his friends to a safe house." Stiles started to laugh when he remembered what Jackson had told him. "They put the semtex around Kim's neck." Terri smiled. "They are going to pay, don't worry." Stiles kissed her "If I don't get Helen and my mom in here, they're going to kill us."
Stiles walked to the door and opened it. Helen of course ran straight to Terri's side. "How's my baby?"
"I'm ok mom." Hannah ran to the other side of the bed. "Hi, you came all the way from Ireland?"
"We caught the first plane as soon as A. B. called."
Dave walked up and said hi to Terri, but then walked back and stood by Stiles. They listened as the three of them began making plans for the baby. After a long while Carl and Jackson walked in. "Excuse me, we need to talk to Mrs. Stiles for just a few minutes to finalize our reports." Hannah and Helen kissed Terri goodbye. "Mr. Stiles you can stay." When they were gone, Carl kissed Terri on the cheek. "Thank God you're okay. You had us pretty worried." Terri smiled at him. "Terri I'm so sorry about everything that happened. We're going to get enough information from Jin Kim to hang Tom and Robert. I promise you."
"Carl, why? Why did they do all of this?"
"Robert and Tom wanted to control North Korean Intelligence. Kim is next in line to lead it. Terri it's important right now that Tom and Robert don't know that we are on to them."
Terri nodded, she still couldn't believe it, "They were really going to let them take me to North Korea?"
Carl put his head down, he was very embarrassed by that. "I'm afraid that they were."
Stiles took Terri's hand in his. "It's ok now Honey, they are going to pay."
Tom walked in "Who is going to pay?"
"Joshua and his North Korean friends when I get my hands on them." Stiles told him.
"Oh. Yes of course they are all going to pay. Terri, I promise you. I will personally see to it." Tom was relieved, he was afraid that they knew about his involvement. All of the others in the room were sickened by his lies.
Stiles knew what he had to do, and it was very hard for him. "Uncle Tom. I'm sorry about out there."
"It's ok. I know how much stress you've been under. I'm just glad Carl was there. Thank you Carl, for covering for the agency out there."
"Well Sir, we don't want to blow Stiles or Terri's covers." calling this traitor Sir was truly hurting Carl. "Stiles was just mad. I think we should leave them alone. They've been through hell." Carl and Jackson both walked up to Terri and kissed her goodbye she smiled at them and thanked them. When Tom went to kiss her she forced a smile, and thanked him also.
After they left, Stiles sat on the bed again. "I can't believe he is acting like he did nothing wrong. Stiles was he always like that?"
"No. That's what hurts me most about it. Terri I loved the man when I was growing up." Terri could tell how much it hurt him, and squeezed his hand. "But, what he did to you, our baby and my country... he is going to pay for all of it. I swear if its the last thing I do."
"Stiles lets not talk about him." he nodded. "What are we going to name our baby? If its a boy, I would like to name him Jr."
"I'm not telling."
"Oh come on."
"No." They both started laughing. "I told you that you have to guess, and you will never be able to."
Helen's house is pretty close to the hospital, so she asked Dave and Hannah to stay with her. They all went to Helen's to get settled in. Dave didn't like the way Tom was acting, he had a feeling he was hiding something. He didn't believe Stiles would have gone after him like that just because he thought the CIA should have found her sooner.
Tom headed back to Langley to talk to Robert. He wanted to see if they found Joshua or Jin Kim yet, and let him know that Jackson must not have told Carl or Stiles that Joshua was a double agent.
Robert didn't believe it. He was going to keep a very close watch on Carl, Jackson and Stiles. He wasn't about to lose everything because of them.
Carl headed to the safe house for the next round of interrogations. Jackson headed back to Langley to take care of a few things there.
At Langley word was quickly spreading about Joshua being the mole. They now knew that Terri was alive and married to Stiles, which really explained a lot to everyone. They also knew that Terri was pregnant and could have lost her baby. Morale was at an all time low.
Lex was in shock. If Joshua could betray Terri, he knew that he couldn't trust him either. This hurt Lex deeply. Terri, Joshua and him were, he thought, good friends. He couldn't believe the betrayal of Joshua. He sat back and remembered how Joshua pushed Terri and Stiles to get together. Lex remembered right before Stiles went to Iraq, Joshua was teasing Terri about saying goodbye, and telling her Stiles liked her. That was a mission that the mole, Joshua, sabotaged. He couldn't believe that Joshua could be that cruel, he was pushing her into a relationship and knew that Stiles could have been killed because he gave the information to the North Koreans.
He was very concerned about Terri. He decided he could no longer work for these people. Lex began to pack up his personal things. He thought about Terri, while he did have a crush on her when they first started working together, she quickly became like a big sister to him. He could always talk to her about anything. Stiles, he was Lex's best friend. Lex was happy that the two of them were married now. Lex had just finished packing up his desk and was walking out when Jackson showed up.
"Mr. Haisley, is it true? Joshua was the mole? He knew where Terri was that whole time?"
"Yes, Lex but there was more to it."
"I'm out of here, I can't work for people like that."
"Lex, I need you to trust me. I...Terri and Stiles need your help." Lex stopped and listened as Jackson explained everything to him. That Joshua was a double agent, and Quinn and Gage were behind the whole thing. Lex agreed to do whatever they needed.
Quinn found out that Jackson was in the building and summoned him to his office. He immediately started questioning him. "Have you told anyone?"
"No I haven't"
"I'm not sure I believe you."
"Well I guess you're just going to have to take my word for it." Jackson knew that he had to turn it back onto Quinn. "I'm sure you're disappointed that Terri is alive."
"That's low, Mr. Haisley. Miss Lowell is one of my best agents. Of course I didn't want her dead."
"You could have fooled me."
"Are you planning to quit again?"
"I wouldn't give you the satisfaction Mr. Quinn." Jackson walked out the door, but not before leaving a bug under the desk.
Lex walked into the Director's office. "Sir, do you have a minute."
"Sure Lex. Come on in. Sit down."
"Sir, I heard about Joshua, I'm not sure I can continue to work here."
"Lex, I don't like what Joshua did. He will pay for it believe me. I know that you and Terri are close. I hope you will stay, I'm planning on making her the head of OTS. You know that she is pregnant. I don't want her to take any unnecessary chances, and a desk job would be safest for her and the baby."
Lex couldn't believe the way Gage sat there and lied. He almost got her killed. "Terri, will be the new head of OTS."
"Yes, but please don't say anything yet. I haven't even discussed it with her. I just don't want you to leave. You are a valuable asset to this agency. I'm hoping you will want to work for Terri."
"Yes Sir. Don't worry I won't say anything, and I will stay and work for Terri." Lex shook hands with Tom, before he left, he put a bug under Tom's desk. Both Jackson and Lex knew that it wasn't enough. Robert an Tom could talk anywhere the next part was up to Stiles, and they didn't realize how easy it would be.
Kay was really feeling bad for Stiles and Terri. She was glad that Terri was going to be okay. She realized how hard it must have been for him and wanted to help him. She called Stiles and invited him, Hannah, Dave and Helen for dinner. Stiles accepted on behalf of everyone.
Part of the way into dinner, Stiles excused himself to use the bathroom, while he was gone he went into the master bedroom and planted bugs in every one of Tom's suits. No matter where he went, they would be able to hear him.
Dinner was hard for Stiles. He had to act like everything was fine between him and Tom. Jackson told him if he could pull it off he would personally nominate him for best actor award.
After dinner Stiles went to see how Terri was doing. Lex was with her, Stiles wanted to make sure that someone he trusted was always with Terri if he had to leave. "Stiles, I can't believe what's going on."
"Me either."
"Gage said that he plans on making Terri the head of OTS, so that I wouldn't quit."
"I can't believe I had to sit there and play nice with him through dinner."
Terri knew how hard it was and held his hand. "But you did it?"
"Yes and I got the bugs in each of his suits." Lex left so that Terri and Stiles could have some time alone. "They're going to hang themselves."
"I know. Stiles I don't really care what happens to them. I only care about us and this baby." she took Stiles hand and placed it on her stomach, he couldn't help but smile. She wanted Stiles to switch his focus, it was hard because he still felt guilty for not being there when she needed him.
Lex, Jackson and Carl met at the safe house to listen to the bugs and see what was being planned. Carl's biggest fear was that Terri's life was still in danger.
Joshua felt bad when he saw Lex. "Lex I can explain."
"Joshua I know about the double agent thing. But that was Terri. How could you do that?"
"Lex they would have killed her that night. I had to convince them that she probably talked to someone else. It was the only way I could keep her alive."
"You almost got Stiles killed in Iraq."
"Lex."
"Joshua I'm not sure there is anything you could say to make me change my mind right now." Joshua sat down and put his head in his hands. He thought to himself that Terri would never forgive him. He couldn't believe how much he blew it.
After another restless night of trying to sleep without Terri by his side, Stiles got ready to go to the hospital. When he walked into Terri's room the doctor was there. "Hey Doc. When can I bring her home?"
"Now."
"Now? Really?"
"Yes, I think its time. Terri and your baby are both doing great. Mr. Stiles I do expect you to spoil her rotten and wait on her."
"Doc you let me take her home and I will cater to her every whim."
"You have a deal Mr. Stiles."
Stiles shook hands with him. "Thank you Doc. I appreciate everything you've done for them." The doctor nodded as he walked out.
Stiles walked over to Terri's bed and kissed her. "I can't wait to get home."
"I can't wait for you to be home. I haven't been able to sleep without you there."
"Really?"
"Terri, I can't function without you. Haven't you figured that out yet?" she smiled at him and gently touched his cheek. "Oh by the way, as soon as you are feeling up to it, we owe Gloria Shelton a dinner. I promised her she could see the Elvis wedding video."
"Gloria Shelton?" Terri was surprised she knew about the Elvis wedding in Vegas. "Should I be jealous or thank her?" Terri teased him, and Stiles tensed up. Stiles hadn't forgotten that his jealousy over Brian was the reason Terri was kidnapped. Terri noticed this and decided when they got home, they would talk through it. "Stiles I'm only kidding." Stiles faked a smile. He didn't know how to deal with the guilt.
"Thank her. Terri, I don't think I could have made it without her help. She listened to me talking about us, it was the only way I made it through. I was going crazy looking for you." Terri realized what how hard it must have been for him. She was grateful that Gloria was there for him. "Did I forget to mention we'll have to invite Carl with her?" Terri looked at him puzzled. "They've been dating for a few months now. She's the one that convinced me I could trust Carl. I didn't know who to trust." Stiles stopped talking, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. "Why the hell are we sitting here talking about this? They said I could take you home." Terri started laughing.
Terri got dressed and Stiles wheeled her out to his car, picked her up and put her in the car. "Stiles I can do this myself."
"No you can't. I promised the Doc I would spoil you." He kissed her as he put her in the car. "And that's exactly what I plan on doing." He held her hand all the way home. He couldn't believe she was finally coming home with him. He had already decided he was going to make it up to her.
While listening to the bug. Jackson heard Quinn talking on the phone. "Yes I heard that Mrs. Stiles was released from the hospital this morning. I think we need to pay a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Stiles. Pick me up in 20 minutes."
Jackson immediately called Carl. Carl and Gloria headed straight to see Terri and Stiles. They wanted to be there when Quinn showed up.
Stiles was surprised when he opened the door. "Gloria, Carl. I know I promised you a dinner when I got Terri home, but could you give us a few days?"
Gloria laughed as Carl started to explain. "Quinn is on his way over." So many things ran through Stiles' head. He wanted to strangle him for what he did to Terri. "Stiles. Stiles."
Stiles finally came out of his thought. "Carl, sorry. I was just thinking."
"About what he wants?"
"Yes."
Gloria thought that they needed to talk. "Mind if I go up and say hi to Terri?" Stiles nodded and told her which room she was in. Gloria also realized how bad Stiles was feeling about what happened to Terri. She wanted to see if she could help.
Gloria knocked on Terri's door. "Terri, it's Gloria Shelton. Can I come in?"
"Sure." Gloria walked in and sat down on the bed next to Terri. "Gloria, I want to thank you for helping Stiles."
"Terri, I don't know the whole story. He just said you guys had a fight, he went for a jog. I know he blames himself for what happened." Terri nodded, she also knew that. "Look Terri, we don't really know each other, so I don't expect you to tell me what happened, but if you want to talk? Carl and Stiles are getting ready for Quinn to show up. Stiles doesn't want him to bother you right now. So you're kind of stuck with me for a while."
Terri smiled, "Actually, I would love to have someone to talk to about this. I don't want Stiles to feel guilty, but the things he said while we were in Montreal hurt me." Terri proceeded to confide in Gloria about the whole fight and the comments both made over Brian. It felt good for Terri to talk about it. "I'm not sure what he was thinking. Did he really think I would sleep with someone else? My ex did that to me, I could never do that. I know all about that pain. I would never hurt him like that. I love him too much."
"You need to ask him what he was thinking. Terri, if you don't this will always be in between you. Causing both of you pain." The doorbell rang. "That's Quinn. We'll just stay up here and let Stiles and Carl handle it."
Stiles walked over to the door. "Mr. Quinn, what are you doing here?"
"I brought flowers for Mrs. Stiles. I came to make sure we have everything clear." Quinn walked in an saw Carl there. "Carl what are you doing here?"
"Same as you I came to see how Terri was doing." Carl started walking towards the door. "Stiles tell Terri I stopped by when she wakes up, and I hope she is feeling better.
"Of course. Thanks for coming by."
Now Stiles would try to find out exactly what Quinn was up to. He knew Terri would be okay, Gloria was up there with her, which was exactly Carl and Gloria's plan. They knew Quinn could not be trusted.
Joshua, Lex and Jackson were listening. Carl had brought over a bug for Stiles to wear. They were hoping Quinn would be reckless and say something they could use against him.
