Rina was not expecting Jubal to say that he was showing a video of his kids to Maggie and that the video was actually sent for her. Maybe he was just saying that to her to cover for the fact that Maggie didn't trust him and was actually checking his phone. Rina stepped in to the conference room looking at OA.

"I assume you've spoken to your girlfriend and got all of this resolved."

Jubal knew that the anger in her tone was due to what he had told her before stepping into the room, he now felt bad as OA was on the receiving end of it but he could handle himself. OA just calmly turned in his chair to face Rina.

"I did. Mona said that Vega is willing to cooperate as long as we can help secure permanent legal residence for him when this is all over."

"Are you kidding me? He wants to renegotiate the deal." Rina almost spat the words out.

"Well that's what his lawyer said so with all due respect it kinda is what it is."

OA spoke calmly to Rina, it was clear to everyone in the room that she was upset but he didn't know why, if they wanted Vega's help then it was simple they were going to have to agree to this deal. Isobel jumped in before Rina could say anything else,

"I think we should go for it, we need all the help that can get. Tell Mona to talk to Vega and that we are happy to make the deal."

Rina was pacing back and forth behind Isobel's chair clearly unhappy with what was happening, OA nodded to Isobel and he and Maggie got up leaving the conference room heading to see Vega and Mona. Maggie stole a quick glance at Jubal before closing the conference room door and following OA. Maggie and OA pick up Vega in a surveillance truck and they park up close to Hassan Ali's restaurant. OA tells Vega that they need him to talk to the waiter Joseph who he knows and that if he gets the opportunity to go into the back room and get them pictures of everything that he can see.

Vega has the perfect opportunity after talking to Joseph and Hassan to go in to the back of the restaurant and get the pictures that Maggie and OA asked for. Instead he leaves and tells Maggie and OA that he is done spying on his friends, that they can deport him if they want. Maggie and OA make their way back to the office in almost silence, they both know that Vega is going to get deported for not helping them. They walk into the Isobel's office where Isobel, Jubal and Rina are standing waiting on them, Isobel lifts her head up from something she was looking at on her desk.

"We need some good news, tell us that Vega is making some progress."

Maggie is about to speak and tell them the truth about Vega backing out of their deal and leaving the restaurant before getting them the pictures but OA jumps in before she can get any words out,

"Yeah, I think he is. He was able to speak to Hassan, it turns out that they have some close friends in common so there's a high level of trust right off the bat."

"Great, did he manage to get any photos, gather any actionable intel?" Rina actually sounded a little happy with the fact that OA said they were getting somewhere with Vega.

Maggie finally spoke as she focused her attention on Isobel "No, unfortunately the opportunity did not present itself."

Jubal was watching Maggie who had been staring at the ground before speaking, she was avoiding eye contact with him and had only glanced at OA once when he started talking, he knew she was uncomfortable with what was being said and he knew that what she had just said was a lie.

Maggie had just finished speaking when OA jumped in before anyone else could "But we are very confident that he is going to be a valuable asset."

"That's great, stay on him, see what you can learn."

When Isobel had finished speaking both OA and Maggie left her office, Maggie focused again on the ground and not making eye contact with Jubal. Jubal wanted to go after her and ask what was going on but Isobel was talking to him about the case so he couldn't just walk out. Maggie walked ahead of OA but he caught up to her quickly

"Thank you for having my back in there."

"I'm getting uncomfortable with this line that you are walking."

"I'm fine Maggie, everything is under control."

"Really? Because the last I checked our informant told us to go to hell."

"He did, but I'm going to talk to Mona right now and get this whole thing back on track."

"OA, I know this situation has got to be complicated for you, so if you want me to take point I'm happy to do that. Just to take some pressure off you."

"Thank you, I appreciate that Maggie, but I've got this, I promise."

OA stepped on to the elevator as he was talking to Maggie and the elevator doors closed before Maggie could say anything else, she let out a sigh rubbing her forehead feeling a headache coming on. She almost jumped out of her skin when she heard Jubal's voice right behind her,

"Mags we need to talk… the roof."

Maggie glanced over her shoulder at Jubal and nodded as she headed towards the door that lead to the stairs up to the roof. When they got up on to the roof Maggie made her way over to the wall and sat down on it rubbing her forehead again. This case right now was a mess and she wanted to help her partner as much as she could.

Jubal closed the door behind him and came over sitting beside Maggie on the wall, he gave her a minute to herself before finally speaking "I know you were lying in Isobel's office, you may have fooled the others, but I know you Mags."

Maggie honestly should have known that Jubal would have known that she was lying, she wasn't even sure that she had actually been trying to hide from that she was lying though. She did feel a little smile trying to break free as she realised that he really did know her so well. She turned her head to face Jubal resting her hands on the wall.

"Am I talking to my boss or my boyfriend?"

Hearing that question Jubal knew that he had been right she had definitely lied to them, he just couldn't figure out why and he could see on her face that she was really struggling. He lifted one of his hands and lay it on top of her hand closet to him.

"I don't think your boss would take you up on to the roof to question you" He smiled playfully to try and help her relax, he felt her hand turning under his and he intertwined their fingers squeezing her hand gently "Your boss is still back in the JOC so it's just me baby, what's going on?".

Maggie was playing with Jubal's fingers lightly as she listened to him "I did lie, I did not go in there with the intention of lying, it wasn't planned. OA caught me completely off guard when I heard him talking, I had no idea he was planning it, I'm not even sure he was planning it until the words were coming out of his mouth."

Jubal's heart was breaking for Maggie he knew how close her and OA were and he could see that whatever was going on was something that she was really struggling with "Mag's what really happened at the restaurant with Vega?".

Maggie sighed "This situation is a mess for OA, when we were wiring up Vega he accused us of making him spy on his friends and neighbours just because he was Muslim. He told OA that he should be ashamed of himself for standing by and letting this happen. Mona also accused OA of being a loyal fed no matter what the circumstances are, she believes he should be doing more for Vega."

Listening to Maggie a part of Jubal could understand why OA had lied to them and Maggie was protecting him as her partner and her friend. "This can't be easy for OA, how is he coping with everything?"

"He told me that he was fine, that he keeps his two identities separate, when he's at work he's a fed and at home he's the Egyptian kid from Queens. I have no idea what he was thinking when he lied to Isobel, he's away to talk to Mona right now to try and get Vega back."

Jubal raised his eyebrow hearing Maggie "Get Vega back, he walked out on the deal?"

Maggie ran her thumb over Jubal's hand, she was watching her thumb brush over his skin slowly before lifting her head to look at him "Vega had the perfect opportunity to get into the back office at the restaurant to take pictures, but he left. He told us he would rather get deported than spy on his friends. We tried to stop him from leaving but he told us that he thought about taking his own life this morning, said he thought it was the only way out of the nightmare that we put him in."

Jubal lifted his hand from Maggie's and she thought that she was going to be getting boss Jubal after hearing what happened, she honestly couldn't blame him if he did turn back in to boss mode. She was surprised when she felt him moving closer to her and wrap his arm around her kissing her head holding her close to him.

"You weren't joking when you said this was a mess, but it's not just for OA baby, I know you are his partner and his friend and that you want to protect him but you are in it with him now too, you lied for him to Isobel. Do you guys actually have a plan for what happens next?"

Maggie leaned in to Jubal relaxing against his body the best that she could, she was thankful that he was actually being so understanding with her right now as he was right, she was in this with OA. She lay her hand on Jubal's stomach as her head was on his shoulder, her forehead against his neck.

"I need to wait and hear how OA gets on with Mona, but babe can you imagine if this was us, if we were on opposing sides? He loves Mona and he feels like she is really disappointed in him, even though he is only doing his job. I want to find a way to help OA and solve this case at the same time, he would do the same for me."

Jubal ran his hand along her back slowly keeping her as close to him as possible "I know how close you and OA are and that he would do the same if it were you, but you know that I'm going to worry when you are involved. Just promise me that you won't lie to me about any of it, just tell me you need me to listen as your boyfriend not your boss, but Mag's we have to be careful we can't risk this case and let OA risk his job at the same time."

Maggie tilted her head a little so that she could place some kisses to Jubal's neck "Thank you for listening to me and for not telling me to just go straight and tell Isobel the truth. I won't let OA take this too far, I told him I am uncomfortable with the line he is already walking so he knows I don't want to take this too far. So I'm really that bad at lying around you huh?".

Jubal was still running his hand along Maggie's back slowly as he could feel her relaxing more against him, talking to him had really helped her and that made him feel a little better. He could only imagine how difficult this situation was for OA but he didn't want Maggie getting caught up in it all.

"I'm not sure that you were really trying to hide from me that you were lying baby, but you wouldn't look at me, from OA started talking you made sure to avoid eye contact with me, even when you were leaving Isobel's office, I wanted to follow you straight away but Isobel was talking to me so I couldn't just leave."

Maggie pulled her head back a little so that she could see Jubal and she lifted her hand from his stomach and lay it on his cheek gently "At least now you know that I can't lie you, even if I am a trained FBI agent. But I really do mean it babe, thank you for coming up here with me, for listening to me, and for being my boyfriend and not my boss." She leaned up kissing him softly but with so much love.

Jubal ran his hand along Maggie's arm before resting it gently on her cheek as he deepened the kiss a little more before breaking the kiss and resting his forehead against hers gently "I love you baby, I am always going to try to do my best for you and to help you in any way that I can. I know that we are actually lucky that we can talk about our jobs to each other."

Maggie placed small kisses to Jubal's lips smiling, she really had no idea what she had done to have this man love her so unconditionally, he was still surprising her with how much he loved her. She reluctantly pulled back from him and smiled genuinely looking in to her favourite Hazel eyes.

"Let's get back to work before they are sending out a search party for you, you don't be away from the JOC this long."

Jubal laughed softly as he kissed Maggie's forehead before standing up and gently pulling her up to stand face to face with him "Don't worry, the good thing about Ian knowing is that he will notice we are both missing and will cover for me."

Maggie shook her head laughing "I forget at times how close you two really are. Kristen will think you have left the building to go meet your girlfriend." Maggie had started to walk towards the door to head back in to the JOC.

Jubal came up behind her wrapping his arms around her from behind resting his hands on her hips as he placed small kisses to her ear and neck "Hmm little does Kristen know that I just had to sneak up to the roof to get some time with my girlfriend."

Maggie closed her eyes feeling Jubal's kisses, she would never get tired of the way his kisses made her feel or how gentle and sweet he could be with her. She lay her hand on his as she stoped at the door "Yeah, we maybe need to not smile as much walking back in there or it might be a little too obvious." She stole one more quick kiss from Jubal before having to let go of his hand as they made their way back inside the building.
