Will was jolted awake by screams. He fell off the couch, tangled in his blanket.

"JACK! NO, JACK!"

"Oh bloody hell," Will groaned. He picked himself up and saw Sue thrashing in her sleep and shouting Jack's name. Will figured it must be the guy who had tried to save her at the warehouse. He needed her to stop yelling before someone called the police.

"Hey!" he shouted, shaking her awake. Her eyes flew open, and she gasped in fright.

"Where...?" she started. Then she was able to focus on Will, and her face fell.

"You were nightmaring," Will said. "And screaming. Sorry, but you gotta be quiet."

"I'm sorry," she said. She could still see Jack's beat up face when she closed her eyes. It greatly terrified her.

"Aye yi yaye," Will muttered, going to the sink for some water. He felt Sue watching him. His thoughts went back to the message from Henry. Things were getting more intense, and he wasn't sure how he was gonna get out of it alive.

...

Bobby was driving around aimlessly, killing time. His heart was heavy with concern over Sue and Myles. He didn't like the grave situations they were both in. He'd just talked to Tara, who sounded hopeless about finding Sue. Bobby was convinced that something had to give because they couldn't hide in D.C. forever. He wished more than anything that he had kept the case with Myles instead of passing it to Sue.

...

Henry lit his cigarette as he watched the boys work quickly. He had ordered Will to stay out of this one, to stay with the woman. Joe was eager to rise to a higher rank anyway, and he wanted his boy to succeed.

"Done," Mike said, joining him. Bruno came a moment later, panting. They always used him to muscle around the heavy stuff. He hated it sometimes.

"Hehe this is gonna be awesome," Pete grinned, taking Henry's lighter and lighting his cigarette.

"Too bad Will is missin' it," Joe said, dusting off his hands. They stared at the building before them, knowing all hell was going to break loose in moments. They were savoring the success.

"Blow it," Henry said, gesturing to Joe, who obliged. In seconds, an explosion rocked the air. Another followed after a moment, then another. Henry watched the chain reaction of all their carefully hidden bombs go off around the White House. If this wasn't a clear warning, he didn't know what was.

...

"What the?" Bobby said, stopping the car. The jolt caused Jack to slide forward and bounce his head off the dash. He was awake in seconds.

"Ow," he groaned. "You couldn't have just poked me?"

"Look!" Bobby shouted, pointing. Jack looked to see fireballs rising up in the air one by one.

"Oh no," he said, his heart sinking. Bobby whipped out his phone, calling D. He jammed on the gas at the same time. Jack held on, praying that Sue was not near those explosions.

...

Will flinched at every explosion. They were close enough to see them, too. Sue turned her head at the flashing lights.

"What's happening?" she asked.

"They did it," Will answered, more to himself than her. He rubbed his face hard. This was getting bad. Really bad.

...

I'm still here, Myles. I'm not leaving your side.

He knew it was Lucy's voice. He felt touched that she was keeping vigil by his bedside. Even after he cheated on her, she still treated him with kindness. Well, sometimes. Other times she pulled a prank on him or gave him a piece of her mind, but he knew he had it coming to him when she yelled at him.

"You heard her again," Emily noted, seeing his smile.

"Yea."

"She must care about you."

"I guess so."

"Why do you say it like that?"

"Well, let's just say I really hurt her a few years ago, and I never really got over it."

"Wait, you never got over it? But you hurt her," Emily said, confused.

"I know, but I lost a great woman over a stupid decision."

"Oh."

"I never told her that. She was too mad at me to let me tell her, though," Myles said wistfully.

"If you get out of here, will you tell her?" Emily wanted to know.

"I might," he nodded. "I just might."

...

Bobby and Jack stared at the wreckage before them. The Secret Service was all over the place like ants, and D eventually joined them with other EMS crew. No one had been badly injured. Some late night walkers were shaken and frightened, but no casualties.

"This was a warning," Jack said. Bobby nodded.

"I agree, mate. This is just the beginning."

"They've got the CSI crew coming," D said, sighing. "I doubt they'll find anything, but we might get lucky."

"This is their M.O.," Jack said. "Do you think Sue was here?"

"I think they've split up," Bobby mused. "There were what, six of them? One of them is bound to be with our Sue."

"But where?" Jack asked, looking around. He felt hopeless. He just knew she'd be scared.

...

Sue watched Will answer his phone and saw the look on his face. She knew Henry and the others had set off some bombs, and she knew her colleagues would be at the scene hoping to find her somewhere. She watched Will carefully, knowing he was forgetful at times that she read lips. He hung up and caught her staring.

"You're not who you say you are," she said. He stood there, unsure of what to say next. She jutted her chin towards the phone in his hand.

"I saw you," she said.

"Great," Will groaned. Now he was in it deep. Real deep.

"Will?" Sue prompted. He came over to her and uncuffed her. She was still looking at him.

"You're right," he said finally. "I'm not."

"Then who are you?"

"I'm Will."

"That's your real name then?"

"Yes."

"Why are you here, Will?" Sue asked gently.

"I'm here like you and Myles were," Will answered, raking his hand through his hair. "To bring down Henry. I'm CIA." He pulled out his I.D. to show her, and she looked at it.

"That's why you insisted I go with you," she said, handing it back.

"Yea. I also saved your Jack's butt back in the warehouse by stopping Joe from shooting him. I couldn't stop Bruno, though. Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Look, if we're gonna take down Henry, you gotta keep playing the part, okay? They have no idea who I am."

"Did they not do the shooting test with you?"

"They never had to. I've got my own fake past they could look at."

"Oh."

"Right, so Henry is gonna come by here any minute. I've got to, uh, you know," Will said, gesturing. She nodded, and he put the cuff back on her.

"Is he going to take me with him?" Sue asked. Will shook his head.

"No. He doesn't want the burden. Plus, I'm known for my ability of execution from my fake background, and they don't want that on their hands. You'll be sticking with me."

Sue just nodded. She trusted Will because all along he had been the one who seemed less aggressive than the others. She'd also seen his phone call with his boss. Will cringed when pounding sounded on his door. He gave her a final look, and she knew what it meant. Henry had arrived.


I hope that was a good twist for ya ;) Thanks for reading!
