Garcia stared at Reid in shock. "Maybe it's a mistake. After all you said there were multiple variations of what these numbers could mean."
Reid shook his head. "No, this is the answer. It was wrong of me to get my hopes up; that I would be able to reconcile anything with her."
Garcia was going to continue to fight her case but knew he was not in the right frame of mind to listen.
Hotch enter the room. "Where are we with that list of suspects?"
Garcia quickly glanced between Reid and Hotch. "I am sure my computer has finished updating. I will go work on narrowing that down."
Hotch noticed how uncomfortable she was as she walked past him. "Is there something I need to know?" He asked Reid.
"No, only that Alex shouldn't be trusted." Reid replied, showing signs of hurt feelings.
Hotch tilted his head as he looked at what Garcia and Reid had been working on and putting it all together for himself. "Remember that our main focus is finding out who killed Knight."
"Yes." Reid nodded in response as he started to clean up his paperwork.
Hotch then made his way to the interview room where Alex was with Rossi. "Where are we at?" Hotch asked as he stepped into the room.
"Almost done." Alex reported as she continued to write down the last few names. "Here you go." She slid the page across the table to Rossi who then handed it over to Hotch.
"And this is everyone you can think of that would want to have Harris Knight killed?" Hotch's eyes narrowed.
"Yes. The list includes everyone that the CIA knew of as his enemy and anyone that he had told me about."
Rossi looked confused. "Wouldn't it have been easier to kill him while he was in prison? Why wait until he escaped and on the run?"
"Wasn't he in solitary?" Alex asked.
"Hotch looked at her but didn't answer her question then looked back to Rossi. "Unless someone didn't need to kill him until he got out. I am going to get this list to Garcia to work on it." He left leaving Alex alone with Rossi.
Rossi watched as she fidgeted with the pen in her hand. "What's on your mind?"
"Do you think you can answer a question for me?"
"That all depends."
"On what?"
"On the question you are going to ask." Rossi folded his hands in front of him.
Alex let out a sigh as she focused on her fingers as they rested on the table. "How was Charles killed?"
Rossi thought for a moment, thinking of the best way to break it to her. "His wife discovered him. He was shot execution style in their home." He decided the blunt way was best.
Alex blinked allowing the tears to spill down her cheeks. She controlled her breathing then cleared her throat. "And how is his wife doing?"
"She is in protective custody… doing as well as she can."
Alex nodded.
Rossi studied her. "It wasn't just Reid that you betrayed."
"I know that. Spencer and Charles were like my own brothers." She replied with pain in her eyes.
Rossi leaned back and crossed his arms. "And what about the fourth member of your team, Hugh?"
"Hugh was definitely part of our group, he just liked to keep to himself. The three of us would be laughing and having a good time while Hugh would be in the corner reading a really old book in a foreign language. But when the time came for us to do our job. The four of us worked together like we could read each other's minds."
Alex snuck around the outside of the building to where Charles had two laptops hooked up to the power boxes and was typing frantically. "I took care of the patrol. So we only have a few minutes before we have more guards snooping around." Alex reported. "How much longer?"
"Not too long. Spencer is still inside making the switch." Charles remained focused on what he was doing.
"You mean he still isn't done yet?" Alex was worried. "We don't have much time."
"Don't worry, we are right on time. Now, once I get the signal from Spencer I will have exactly 90 seconds to override the system. I won't be able to stop once I start, so you will need to keep guard." Charles reminded.
"Will do." Alex turned her back to Charles to keep her eyes fixated on the surrounding treeline.
"Here we go." Charles announced as he heard from Spencer and worked on hacking the system.
Alex noticed a guard approaching. Even though she had her sidearm, they wanted to stay stealth. As he walked by, she tripped him. Then as he laid on his back, she knelt over him, used sixty pounds of torque and broke his neck. "That's one."
Alex stood up to see that now a barrage of guards were heading toward her. She fought them off one-by-one. "Please tell me it's been 90 seconds!" She yelled while flipping a thug over.
"Not yet." Charles replied, focusing on his work.
She noticed a man lurking behind the trees, she went after him but didn't know she was headed into an ambush. As she approached the man, another appeared behind her and grabbed her arms. The first goon started to hit her repeatedly.
Alex closed her eyes anticipating the next blow that would never come. She opened her eyes to see the man who was hitting her fall to the ground. The one who was holding her arms turned around to see a bullet go into his head. She let out a sigh of relief. "Cutting it a little close there, huh?"
"And you were worried?" Charles flashed a smile. "Come on, let's get out of here." He grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him. They folded up the laptops and put them back into their cases. "We need extraction." He called over his mic. He reached for her again and they ran out of the brush in front of the building waiting for Hugh and Spencer.
A helicopter started down in the clearing that was ahead of them. They ran for it, threw the cases in then each jumped in. "Spencer?" Hugh asked.
"He's coming!" Alex yelled.
Hugh moved the helicopter back up into the air as Alex threw out the rope ladder. Reid ran out of the building, tossing a grenade behind him, taking care of the goons following after him. He rushed toward the lifting chopper. He reached out and took hold of the rung to the ladder as the vehicle launched into the air. He climbed up and entered the cabin. "So, what have you all be up to?" Reid asked with a chuckle.
Hugh turned to him. "You are certifiable, you know that, right?"
"What else is new?" Reid smirked. "Hey, did you guys see..." He turned around to see Alex laying down in Charles' lap as he was cleaning up her bloody face. "What the hell happened?"
"It's just a scratch." Alex down-played her injuries.
"Don't worry, I'm taking good care of her." Charles assured his friend.
Alex looked to Rossi. "You know he held my hand until we landed safely."
"I can see how much you care about your former team. One might wonder why you would risk everything to betray them." Rossi observed.
"And you?" She asked.
"I already know." He assured her.
