Jubal and Maggie walking back into the JOC together wasn't anything unusual but Ian couldn't help the small smile when he saw them walking that little bit closer than normal, or the fact that they both were trying hard to not smile. Across the JOC Rina was having the completely opposite reaction, they shouldn't be sneaking off during work to have time together, why wasn't someone reporting them. She saw Isobel appear behind her at the door to Isobel's office.

"You not going to talk to them both about clearly sneaking away together during the work day?"

"We have no idea where they were and it isn't affecting their work and that's what matters to me".

Isobel was about to walk back in to her office when she heard Kristen tell them that there had been a second bombing, this one was at a Freedom regional branch on 36th Avenue. There were two injured but no deaths this time. The team gathered surveillance footage from inside the bank but the bomber had his hood up so was hard to get a clear image of him. They couldn't rule out that it wasn't Hassan Ali or one of his associates as he had been away from his restaurant long enough to have been involved.

OA came back from talking to Mona and told Maggie that Vega was out, that he would rather take his chances in court. Maggie didn't get a chance to respond to anything OA had said as Isobel was calling her and OA into her office to join her, Jubal and Rina. Isobel sat down in her chair and looked at OA and Maggie.

"Where are we with Vega, was he able to gather us more intel?"

"We tried to put Vega back into play but…"

OA was jumping in before Maggie could say anything else "But he thought that Hassan might have made him. But the good news is that he got Hassan talking and we were able to identify an opportunity."

"What are you talking about?" Isobel was a little confused as to what OA was talking about, Rina was watching on with curiosity where as Jubal was worried about where this was going.

"Well Hassan said that he has a very sophisticated surveillance system at his restaurant with cameras pointing outwards. So maybe one of those cameras caught the conversation between Salem and whoever paid him the thousand dollars to steal the black Chrysler."

Jubal found his voice as he still wasn't sure where OA was going with this "I'm not sure that we have enough for a warrant."

OA nodded hearing Jubal "No we probably don't, but it could be enough for a sneak and peek?" OA looked between Isobel and Jubal while talking, hoping that they would go for this idea.

"I don't know OA that's risky, it would make more sense to use Vega" Isobel rest her elbows on her desk as she spoke to OA.

"Vega is too anxious, we don't think he can pull this one off". OA glanced at Maggie before at Isobel while he spoke. Jubal could tell that this was the first that Maggie was hearing about this idea, he was wondering was OA going too far now especially if this didn't work.

Isobel took a minute to think about their options and then nodded "Okay go for it."

OA thanked Isobel and he and Maggie left the office, this time she did glance at Jubal before she left, she knew he could tell she didn't know about OA's idea nor was she happy with it. She felt that OA had definitely crossed that line and was now doing his best to protect Vega. When they left Isobel's office Maggie gently grabbed OA's arm to stop him from walking any further.

"OA what the hell are you thinking?"

"I'm trying to find evidence Maggie and the only lead we have is Hassan's security system."

"I agree about the security system but…"

"The only reason that we know about that security system is because of Vega"

"OA you are trying to protect Vega from getting deported".

"No Maggie, you're wrong, I'm just trying to do my job and chase what is in in front of me and I keep trying to tell you that."

"I know what you are trying to tell me OA, you're trying to say that you are really good at separating your personal life from your professional life but what I'm telling you is that you are not very good at it. You are bending over backwards to try and help Vega because you think he got screwed but stop denying it and stop pretending you are just doing your job."

Maggie understood that OA was trying to protect Vega but she was pissed that he was making her lie for him and that he was denying the reason that he was doing it all. She stepped past OA to walk around the corner to head to the elevator and she stopped when she saw Stuart and Tiffany standing there, clearly they would have heard the whole conversation. OA was right behind Maggie and stopped when he saw Tiffany and Wallace.

Stuart decided that he or Tiffany were going to have to say something to break this silence so he spoke "Okay, let's get to work, we got some video to steal." Everyone just nodded and they left heading to Hassan Ali's restaurant. On the way Maggie got a message and she knew it was Jubal before she even checked, she took her phone from her pocket and read the message.

'Be careful out there, if this doesn't work OA is going to have to come clean. Ian is going to keep me updated on what's happening, he's going to be in the surveillance van to control the electrical feed to the restaurant.'

'It's going to be me and OA getting the footage, he knows I'm not happy about what went down in Isobel's office. Stuart and Tiffany overhead my conversation with OA, so we all know this needs to work. Don't be distracting in Ian's ear'.

Maggie was joking with her last bit of the text about Jubal not distracting Ian too much and it did work in getting Jubal to chuckle as he read it, but he still felt uncomfortable with what was happening. He really hoped that Maggie and OA were able to safely get the footage and that they would get something to help them from it. He typed out a reply to Maggie.

'Well I can't be in your ear and my sister has warned me that you better make it through this case safely, so Ian has to be my eyes and ears out there. Be safe, love you'.

Maggie shook her head smiling as she read the message from Jubal, she knew that they were very careful about what they text each other when at work, but she understood why Jubal had taken the risk, he hated not being able to hear or see what was happening when Maggie was in the field. Maggie sent a quick reply,

'I'll be safe, love you too'.

When they arrived close to the restaurant Stuart and Tiffany got in position to give Ian the signal to cut the electrical feed while Maggie and OA got inside the restaurant and downloaded the footage from the security system onto a thumb drive. Hassan Ali returned to the restaurant as he had forgotten something so Tiffany had to step in and distract him to give Maggie and OA time to finish up and get back out of the restaurant. Ian was able to turn the electrical feed back on just as Hassan went to turn on the lights inside the restaurant.

They get back to the JOC and Kristen and Ian get to work on the security footage, they find the guy that paid Salem the thousand dollars to steal the car. Kristen runs facial reg and gets a hit, Phillip Stafford, owner of Formaxx Fitness LLC. They find that the fitness company filed for bankruptcy three weeks ago, one of the victims from the first bombing was president of one of the creditors and Freedom Regional bank was another creditor.

The team had just been doing their job and following any leads they had which was the reason they had looked into Hassan Ali, none of them expected the footage to give them a completely different suspect.
