Maggie, OA, Tiffany, Stuart along with SWAT headed to the address that they had for Phillip Stafford, when they broke down the door and got inside they realised it was only his wife there and that he hadn't lived there in three months as they were getting divorced. They got the wife to ring her husband and tell him that she would give him the money that he had asked for a few days ago. When Phillip Staffords car pulled up at the house they found that it was a guy called Jason Cassidy inside.

Jason tells them that the owner of the car gave him his Rolex and told him he could keep his car if he delivered a letter to his wife at this address. Upon reading the letter the team realise that Phillip is going after his Sister-in-law as he blames her for him going bankrupt to try and prove that he was good enough for her sister. They get the sister-in-laws address and the team head there, they find Phillip across from the building and he has a gun at his waist.

They clear the area and Stuart is trying to get Phillip to set the gun down but he see's a woman and her two kids and he takes out his gun pointing it at them and Stuart shoots him before he can shoot the woman or her kids. When they get back to 26 FED Stuart is sitting in the JOC chatting with Ian and Kristen, while OA is sitting at his desk with Tiffany behind him at her desk. She had been trying to go over the words in her head before turning around to face OA.

"Hey OA" When OA turned around to face Tiffany she continued "Not trying to get in your business but I overheard you with Maggie earlier. This idea of trying to keep things separate, you know compartmentalise your two identities, I get it. I used to do it but it don't work, you gotta own who you are, who you really are. If that's not enough for some of these white fools around here then to hell with them."

OA chuckled softly hearing Tiffany but he really did appreciate her words, he knew it took a lot for her to say that to him as she was still finding her feet here with the team. "Thank you Tiff, I really appreciate it." He genuinely meant those words, what Tiff had said to him was exactly what he needed to hear from someone who knew exactly how he was feeling.

Maggie had gone to the break room to get coffee and was on her way back to her desk when Jubal stopped her, she could tell from his face that something was wrong. "What's going on?"

Jubal sighed resting his hands on his hips, tapping his fingers against his belt "Isobel wants to see OA in her office, Rina is sitting in there with a smile on her face so I think she knows OA lied about Vega. I thought you would want to be in there with him."

"Dam it, Rina must have went and spoke to Vega, thank you for letting me know, you sure Isobel will let me be in there?" Maggie really did appreciate that Jubal was coming to get her to be in there for OA, she knew she couldn't give OA a heads up but hopefully she could be there for support.

"I don't think Isobel will have an issue, I'll just ask OA if he's okay with you being there and that will stop any questions from Isobel. Let's go, Isobel was on her way to find OA."

Maggie nodded hearing Jubal and she followed him to Isobel's office, seeing the smirk on Rina's face she knew that Rina had told Isobel the truth about Vega. Before Maggie could say anything Isobel walked into her office with OA right behind. Maggie stood beside OA so that they were standing side by side, they were partners, she may have been upset with OA during this case but she would still stand by him.

Isobel sat down in her chair and looked at OA "We know what happened with Vega, we know that he backed out of the operation."

"Yeah because he was concerned that…"

OA was interrupted by Rina "Because he didn't want to help the FBI."

OA looked at Rina but then focused on Isobel as he spoke "That may be true but without him we wouldn't have known about the security cameras which lead to us chasing the new lead and getting Stafford."

Isobel was playing with a pen as she looked at OA "OA we know that this is complicated for you for many reasons. You were trying to do your job while trying to protect Vega at the same time."

"Your right I was because what we did to Vega wasn't right. We squeezed him too hard, we forced him to spy on his friends, his family, religious leaders and we didn't even know if they were actually terrorists. We just assume they are or that they might be because of their religion, because of their nationality. That's not okay, not anymore."

Rina stood up straighter looking at OA "These guys don't wear masks Zidan or have names on the back of their shirts. They live in communities protected by friends, family and religious leaders, that's a fact. That's why we need informants. We've saved hundreds maybe thousands of lives doing it this way so please don't play the poor Muslim exploited card. Vega was on his way to Syria until I stepped in and helped him out. I let him stay here with his cousins and siblings, I even got him a job."

Isobel looked at OA as soon as Rina was finished speaking "You know what you have to do OA, so get it done."

OA glanced at Maggie before dropping his head and walking out of the office before anyone could saying anything. Maggie had been so angry listening to the way that Rina was speaking to OA, she sat her coffee down and looked at Isobel.

"This is bullshit, there is no reason that it has to be OA that arrests Vega. He's right without Vega we wouldn't have Stafford." Maggie turned her head to look at Rina "Don't have OA do your dirty work for you."

Rina stepped closer to Maggie "You think that because you are screwing your ASAC you get to talk to me like that?"

Jubal had been sitting against the unit beside Isobel's desk but he stood up when he heard Rina "Rina, stop!"

Maggie didn't turn to look at Jubal she stayed face to face with Rina "You think I give a crap what you and your hurt little ego think? Your opinion doesn't matter to me."

"It should, I outrank you." Rina had a smirk on her face now.

"You aren't my boss, trust me if you were I would quit." Maggie turns away from Rina and goes to leave the office but Jubal gently grabs her arm.

"Mags wait."

Maggie pulled her arm away from Jubal looking at him "No! I won't just stand there and let an outsider speak to my partner like that. I wont let OA do this just because you or Isobel can't stand up for your agents."

Maggie slammed Isobel's office door which caught the attention of everyone in the JOC but she didn't care, this was ridiculous, the way that they had treated OA was uncalled for. She wasn't just going to stand back and let her partner do this alone, she stood by him and would continue to. Rina looked at Jubal when Maggie slammed the door.

"Your little office fling has a nasty temper there Jubal. Seems I've the rocked the boat or put a stop to that itch you were scratching." Rina had a smirk on her face as she spoke to Jubal.

Jubal had been surprised by Maggie's temper but she was right, he should have stood up for OA, he should never have let Rina speak to one of his agents that way. There was no excuse for the way he just sat there and done nothing. He turned around to face Isobel when he heard Rina.

"You know what Maggie is right, why are we arresting Vega for Counter Terrorism? They made the original deal with him, so it's their arrest."

"Oh Jubal, sticking up for your crazy agent won't help it's too late." Rina's smirk had only grown, completely confident as she spoke.

Isobel stood up looking at Jubal "Go stop Maggie and OA….. Agent Trenholm and her team can go and arrest Vega themselves."

"You can't be serious?" The shock was clear on Rina's face as she looked at Isobel.

"Maggie and OA are right, we wouldn't have Stafford without Vega, he helped us. He broke your deal so you and your team can deal with it."

Jubal opened Isobel's office door and headed to find Maggie and OA to stop them, Rina was right behind him "It's too late, she'll never forgive you. You sure she's not sleeping with her partner, she was quick to cover for and defend him."

"That's what partner's do Rina."

"Yeah but when we were partners it was more."

Jubal stopped walking when he heard Rina "No it wasn't Rina, it was a drunken kiss, that I regret now more than ever. It was nothing more."

Rina stepped closer to Jubal "I know you are going to be calling me when she won't forgive you"

"Rina, I will spend the rest of my life trying to get Maggie to forgive me for letting her down because she's my future, she's not an office fling or some itch I'm trying to scratch. Maggie is my future and the best thing to happen me since the birth of my two kids. So no I won't be calling you and trust me you aren't even close to being worth second to Maggie."

Jubal saw Maggie and OA over Rina's shoulder "Maggie, OA wait."

Maggie glanced at Jubal "Jubal I said all I had to, I'll be arresting Vega not OA."

OA was confused as he heard Maggie "I clearly missed something."

Jubal walked towards them as he spoke "Neither of you will be arresting Vega, that's up to Counter Terrorism."

"Yeah, I definitely missed something." OA struggled to keep the smile off his face as he saw how pissed off Rina looked standing beside Jubal.

"You might not want to tell your girlfriend how quick your partner jumped in to defend you." Rina wouldn't even look at Maggie, she looked at OA as she spoke and then she looked at Jubal and she smiled so sweetly at him. Maggie and OA would swear that she was fluttering her eyelashes at Jubal as she put her hand on his shoulder. "I'll come find you when I get back." She stepped on to the elevator and the doors closed before anyone could say anything to her.

OA watched the doors close and then looked at Jubal "I have no idea who you girlfriend is, but I swear man you go near her and I'll happily shoot you for your girlfriend. I'm sure that she would thank me for it."

Maggie was still angry at Jubal and she so badly wanted to slap Rina when she lay her hand on Jubal's shoulder, but she couldn't hide the small smile that was on her face, she could only think how bad OA's reaction would have been had he known that she was Jubal's girlfriend. Jubal looked at OA hearing his words.

"Trust me I have no intentions of going anywhere near Rina, not only do I not want anything to do with Rina I love my girlfriend way too much to even think about someone else." Jubal was trying hard to not stare at Maggie when he was talking but he knew that she was angry at him and he could see how pissed she was at Rina.

OA was surprised at Jubal's honesty about being in love with girlfriend "Good answer" OA smiled as he lay his hand on Maggie's shoulder looking at Jubal "Hey Jubal, you mind if I have a minute alone with Maggie?."

Jubal wanted to talk to Maggie as soon as possible he needed and wanted to fix things between them but he could also see that OA really needed to talk to her and he had no good reason to say he needed to talk to Maggie first.

"Yeah, sure no problem OA." Jubal looked at Maggie "Come find me before you leave, I need to talk to you." Jubal could tell OA that he needed to talk to Maggie about what she said in Isobel's office if he was to ask. Maggie briefly looked at Jubal and nodded mumbling 'sure' before turning to face OA.
