"Sameen!" Reese could hear Root scream even over the deafening shower of gunfire. Shaw was in trouble, and if she was hurt there was no hope for the rest of us. Also, Root would never let him hear the end of it, which he was also not too keen on experiencing.

"Finch what do we do?" He said to his ear piece, the line had gone silent a while back. After all of the directions and multiple shootings, he could do no more to help except chime in when there was another enemy approaching,

"Mr Reese, you need to get Agent Shaw and Miss Groves out of the area and split them up. The Samaritans know they are each other's weak spots. You need to take Miss Groves and get her away from Agent Shaw, I will give Mr Fusco the same instructions. Go now." Reese groaned internally as he shot down his last target before moving across to where Root was situated,

"Reese, you need to help me. We need to get to Shaw!" She was shouting in panic over the fact that Shaw had now been shot three times, Reese looked over to Fusco and nodded. Reese grabbed Root round the stomach and pulled her back,

"No Reese! What are you doing?!" She was struggling and pushing against him, but he continued to pull her back and throw her in the passenger seat of his getaway car. Not giving her a chance to even think about escaping, he stepped on the accelerator and sped off.

"What the fuck Reese?! What do you think you're doing?! She needs us?!" Reese doesn't think he has ever heard the hacker swear before, and he certainly didn't think it would be directed at him. Instead of wasting his breath trying to explain it, he handed her a machine gun and opened the sun roof,

"Shoot!" He yelled to her and she climbed up over the seats and shot at the multiple men on motorbikes after sticking her head just out of the sun roof. Man after man after man were flying off their bikes. 'Boy can that woman shoot when Shaw's in danger' Reese thought to himself,

"NO! Dammit NO!" Root climbed down back into the vehicle and grabbed the steering wheel,

"What are you doing?!" Reese screamed at her. He knew she was angry but jesus she was gonna get them killed.

"They've turned back. Shaw and Fusco. They have them, turn back now!" 'Shit'

"I can't turn back. Harold's orders."

"Bullshit!" Root was struggling to stay in her seat, and Reese was struggling to keep control of the car, he knew he would get a bollocking for this later, he thrust his thumb at the side of her neck, just under her jaw. Hitting her pressure point, she collapsed back into her seat and he continued to speed off back to the station. If Samaritan did have Fusco and Shaw, then the best thing they could do was wait for instructions from Harold.

Speeding as fast as he could, he made it back to the underground in record time. Throwing Root over his shoulder, he ran into the station and put her in Bear's bed.

"Finch, they have Shaw and Fusco!" He yelled towards his boss, but instead of acknowledging his panicking agent, he ignored the man and continued to type at his computer.

"Finch!" Reese was in his face now,

"You are correct Agent Reese. However, we have lost all communication with both of the agents. There is nothing we can do." Harold sat at his desk, he didn't show it but he felt defeated and uneasy.

"What the fuck do you mean?! We have to do something! They have to be at the warehouse still, we can go back!" Reese was screaming, he felt like his throat was about to explode.

"You told me to separate them. Why would you do that. I could have stayed. Shaw could be dead right now and all you are doing is typing at your stupid fucking computer." The shouting had stopped, Reese seemingly was more threatening.

"They are indeed still at the warehouse, but I lost their tracker signal as soon as they went deeper underground. I have no form of contact… we must wait until they contact us."

"Bullshit we do." That didn't come from Reese, but a very angry hacker who had geared up with weapons and vests. 'When did she wake up?'

"Miss Groves," Harold started and Reese flinched, there was no stopping this woman when it came to Shaw, and calling her by that name was only adding fuel to the fire,

"My name is Root. You will address me as such, and Reese if you're not coming then I will go alone. But i'm leaving now before I shoot you both…" Her voice trailed off as she walked away and out of the station. Reese looked at Harold, the man turning back to his laptop, probably opening up the line for the two agents again. He grabbed his equipment and followed Root out of the station to the car,

"You better know what you're doing" He warned her,

"When do I ever?" She asked back smirking, her walls had gone back up and soon enough they had returned to the warehouse.

"They haven't left yet. There are tyre skid marks leading to the building but not away. They are still in there." Root stated. As much as he hated to admit it, she was a big help and incredibly smart, but obviously he would never tell her that,

"Shocked are we Agent Reese?" She was smirking again, and instead in letting him answer, she strolled off and shot at the padlock on the door.

"They knew I would come back, I might as well make an entrance. Surprise them with my company…" Root walked straight into the building not bothering to look for any one approaching. Suddenly Finch's voice crackled through their earpieces,

'As you probably already know, targets approaching from the north and the west. When you enter the elevator and go down to the basement, I will lose you completely. I can be of no help. I wish you luck Agents Reese and Root." Root lifted her two guns infront of her and Reese took cover of the left. Soon enough, multiple gunshots echoed through the room, all aiming for Root. They weren't expecting company. He shot down the first five before having a helping hand from Root who had finished with the first set of Samaritan.

"I'm not even going to ask how you did that so quickly…"

"I have my ways…" They worked their way through the extra targets and then crouched down behind the walls of the elevator. Pressing the button to the basement, they began to descend,

"If I don't see you, good luck Agent Reese." Root said to him indirectly. The crackling of their earpieces told them they were now without help, and if they were going to find both Shaw and Fusco they would need to look separately.

"Same for you Agent Root." Reese grunted out, he had taken a few grazes of bullets while moving to the elevator and they were starting to shoot pain up his arms and ribs. The ding of the elevator , the opening of the doors and the loud shower of gunfire signaled that they were expected. Or at least Root was. She looked over to Reese and stood up walking out with her hands up, 'God she is so stupid...But so clever' Reese knew what she was doing, if they had her, they would not bother to check for him. After all, they assumed that she had come alone. They were really on their own in this, they would take Root to Shaw and that would leave him to go search for Fusco. However, Root was dragged to a confined space where inside on hospital cots lay a brutally bloodied, beaten and unconscious Sameen and Lionel. 'Well fuck…'
