Brandt POV
We ended up losing all of them: Ethan, Ilsa and Kensi in their chase. We met Ethan at this abandoned house off the road. We all joined him at the table he was sitting at. He looked defeated. It was silent until Luther broke it,
"So what do we do now?" he asked.
"Please tell me you made a copy of that disk." Ethan directed that question to Benji. Benji made a deep sigh, but held something in his hand.
"Of course I made a copy." He smiled.
"So where are we going?" I asked Ethan super curious about what was going to happen. I wanted to keep the topic clear of Kensi. He didn't say anything just kinda nodded. I put the pieces together. London.

Kensi POV
I let Ilsa go alone to London to visit Attlee. I was standing near by of course where their meeting would be taking place, just to make sure nothing specific happened and I needed to intervene.
"It's a ledger, the Syndicates entire infrastructure. Who they are, the politicians they control, and where the money comes from. Its everything you want to know." She spoke to Attlee.
Something seemed off to me about the meeting. She was disavowed, she went "rogue" according to Attlee when I met with him. Shit. I had just realized the problem, however, I had to let it play out.
"What makes you think this so called ledger is authentic?" He asked.
"Why would Lane want it so badly if it wasn't authentic?" She countered.
"Why would he let you have it if it was? Did you never stop to consider that he may want me to have it? Misinformation, manipulation it's what he does Ilsa. It's what he's trained to do. Lane lies to you sell the slice to Hunt, together you're both compromised. That's his ultimate objective. This may be authentic. But there's only one person I trust to verify that information. You." He countered her.
"No." She whispered. I knew she didn't want to be back in the game, she'd been at this for a long time. Almost 3 years.
"My orders were to deliver you information in regarding the Syndicate." She continued
"Your orders were to infiltrate the Syndicate so that we could learn more about them first hand. It's a test like everything else. The only way to pass is to go back." He explained to her like she was stupid. I wanted to punch him in the face, but I remained hidden in my spot.
"I can't do that. I betrayed Lanes trust too many times." That was true but she had me. I zoned out thinking about what to do about the situation. Then all of a sudden I snapped out of it. Someone ran into me spilling coffee all over my jacket. Fuck. She walked back and up to me.
"Lets go." she said curtly. We walked for a while before I asked her about the rest of the conversation.
"How'd it go? What happened?" I asked.
"They won't bring me in and apparently I'm a rogue assassin." She answered.
"Hey, me too." I told her, smiling slightly trying to lighten the mood.
"Listen, I know I'll have to complete your job. You can get out now if you want to." I told her seriously.
"No. I'm coming with you, but he'll trust you more than he trusts me right now. So you're going to be the one to present the information." She told me. I nodded and followed her to where we were going to meet Lane.

Ethan POV

"I can't open it." Luther told us all.

"What do you mean you can't open it?!" I asked him.

"I mean I can't open it, ever." Luther said again.

"That's a red box." Benji said leaning over his shoulder.

"It's a what?" Brandt asked.

"a red box. It's used to transfer information that has state secrets."

"Doesn't sound good." Brandt said.

"It's triple encrypted."

"You're not getting in unless you have fingerprints, retinal scan and a voice phrase from a specific individual." Benji explained.

"The prime minister of Great Britain himself." I said.

"Yes." Benji said.

"So what you're saying is... There is no ledger, so we have no proof that the Syndicate actually exists.. We're back to square one, except now we are all wanted by the CIA. I'm so proud of us." Brandt said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes sick of him.

"You know what Brandt? You didn't have to come. You only came because Kensi is here and you needed to find her." I burst out at him.

"You know that's not true Ethan I'm here to help you evade the CIA for as long as I can." He shot back at me and I rolled my eyes once again getting a headache from being around him.

"What I don't understand is why is there a box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?" Benji spoke his thoughts interrupting our disagreement.

"And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?" Luther asked.

"If he want's it you can bet that he has a plan to open it... And we just helped him steal it." Benji spoke. He was right.

"He's going to take the prime minister." Luther said.

"Yes he is. The only question is how." I asked everyone.

"We have to warn the British Government." Benji said.

"Yeah, MI6" Brandt said going to pull out his phone.

"Brandt. Put down the phone. Let's think about this." I tried to reason with him.

"We have a responsibility to the British Government. And not gamble with the prime ministers life. Just so you can beat the guy who's beaten you at every turn." He told me.

"Is that what you think this is?" I asked him. He was not who I thought he was. This was Dubai all over again.

"Brandt.. Is that what you think this is?" I asked again.

"I think right now you are incapable of seeing there's another way." He told me.

"And sometimes Ethan is the only one capable of seeing the only way." Luther defended me.

"And if he's wrong then we have Vienna all over again!" Brandt yelled. I got up from my seat and walked over to him.

"You don't know him. If he wants something to happen there is no preventing it!" I yelled back.

"That's why we have to warn the British." Brandt tried more to reason.

"Maybe that's exactly what he wants us to do." I tried to make him see my point.

"Are you listening to yourself? We are going to warn the British." He said holding his phone.

"No. We are going to find Lane and we are going to get him before he takes the prime minister." I told him.

"Okay, alright we are going to find Lane. But please tell me, how are we going to do that?" All of a sudden the tablet beeped, Ilsa was caught on a camera at a train station. Ilsa was the key.

"And tell me, where does Kensi fit into all of this?" He asked. Both Benji and I looked at each other.

"She's infiltrated them. We didn't get to ask questions that's all we know." I told him letting him come to the conclusion himself. I knew he was worried about her and her part in all this, but he shouldn't be, he's an agent he knows what she is capable of, so why worry?

"She's going to kill him." He said realizing her part in all of this for the first time. He sat back down and put his head in his hands knowing she was too close to this and that she could very well be killed. I walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder trying to be supportive.

"She's going to be okay." I told him.

"She's going to be fine."
