2. Chapter 2

A/N: I know it's been a very long time since I've updated anything and for that I apologize. As you are aware and what I've said before I've been dealing with some difficult periods in my life. I have had some small good luck and some bad luck right now life is just rough, however I have managed to get a novel started, I have managed to get this chapter up that I had mostly written but fell into a state of depression with stopped all of my writing, up into what I have now. I have also been binge watching Blacklist to see what I can screw around with and what i can do to change the story including the players as I stupidly did no write out all of my plot points like I had done with the first story. Oh well, I shall make this work including making longer and longer chapters to help with my writing. As you are all aware, I do not have a beta and as such all of my work is raw.

I do not own the blacklist because if I did I would be rich and not in the position I am in now financially, oh well. The only thing I do own are the characters that are not of the Blacklist, and if you stick with me you will get to see Kamryn very soon in her own original novel and if all plays out this would be a cross over fanfiction with the Blacklist and hopefully I can make good coin out of that, I have bills to pay like all the adults out there.

Anyways read, review, enjoy, it's good to be back for a bit.

---

It was October 30th and a Friday to boot, however it had also been two weeks since Red took off leaving Liz in the care of Kamryn. To take Liz's mind off the fact that her father had taken off like he had, Kamryn got Liz involved with her yearly Halloween ritual that she held every year no matter where she was. And it usually involved scaring adults or keeping an eye on the city and scaring the criminals.

This year Kamryn decided to keep closer to kids, there was a request from Dria that an orphanage was looking to give the kids some cheer so Kamryn said that she would take the kids out for an hour and that she would have a couple of adults accompanying them.

So instead of looking like an undead monster Kamryn opted to be the Shadow, easier to cover her face as well as conceal weapons under her cloak. Saya went a 1940's gangster girlfriend and she pulled it off very well despite being Japanese. Liz it took a bit longer, but in the end she went as Blackwidow from the Avengers, she wore the red wig well and it was necessary to keep her under the radar even if they were in Canada.

As they took the kids around the neighborhood, Kamryn reminded Liz and Saya that the area they were in wasn't just home to families but it was also home to gangs and early trick or treating on the 30th was a norm in that part of town because Hallowe'en Day was just an nasty sort of business and that's when real monsters would come out to play.

As they went door to door, Kamryn stood at the street curb and watched the children. A form of melancholy hit her as she realized she would never be able to have children of her own. Kamryn would never be able to bear children, never go through a pregnancy or understand the joys of being able to give birth. The problem is that when Kamryn caught in the explosion at her mother's law firm she lost more than just appearance she lost the ability to have children due to the trauma. Now while she had intimate relations Saya and Dria, she would never be physically capable til the day she died.

With her cloak covering her, Kamryn had arms crossed as the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile behind the long red scarf covering her face and trailing over her shoulder as she watched the children laugh and giggle amongst themselves. Saya came back to the curb with a troop of children in all manner of costumes, some of them came up to Kamryn and hugged her around the waist in which Kamryn returned it the best that she could while her cloak was around her.

At the end of the experience and the children went back to the orphanage while Kamryn, Saya and Liz took transit with Kamryn standing and the other two sitting, the occupants looked on at the three costumed people. As the time grew on and the sun had set more and more people in costumes had appeared as the trio made their way into the city core for a party in which they were meeting up with Dria.

Standing on the skytrain and among the people that she had saved not a year ago, it made Kamryn feel good that despite what happened to her, the people were safe and they would never know that their hero was on the train with them taking the same transit system as them to get to a Hallowe'en party like them. When they got to their location Liz and Saya got off the train first followed by Kamryn who looked around at the crowd. The night before Hallowe'en day was always a crazy affair with all of the colourful, childish, outlandish and then there were those that dressed up in the most provocative outfits that turned heads.

Saya took Liz's arm and lead her out while Kamryn followed with a few people trying to get her to come with them not knowing that it was a woman abet a scared damaged one and not a man like some of the women were trying to feel or find out. The stench of alcohol was thick and it made Kamryn glad that her face was covered by the scarf set up she had. Gently pushing away some of the women and some of the men as well Kamryn brought her hands up and put them on Liz's waist and Saya's as well and for good measure Saya stopped a moment and turned to Kamryn pulling her scarf down enough to kiss her before putting the scarf back up in front of the crowd. Liz had no idea what to do as she watched the public display before Saya had her arm linked with hers again and they went towards the exit.

Snickering Kamryn followed and soon felt that they were before followed keeping close to Liz and using her cloak to obscure her, Kamryn cocked her head as if she were going to look over her shoulder and looking with the corner of her eye Kamryn scanned the area.

There was no one that she could see with everyone being in costumes, continuing on trio exited the Skytrain station and looked down the streets with Kamryn looking at the brick building that once held the old train system and was aptly called the Waterfront Station. To Kamryn the station reminded her of the Grand Central Train Station except much, much smaller. The station was the intended Nuclear bomb site when Kamryn and Red saved the day all those months ago, looking into the crowd Kamryn scanned again with Saya and Liz watching their protector.

"Sweetie, what is it?"

"We're being watched."

Turning away from the doors of the station Kamryn's eyes were serious under the wide brimmed fedora as Saya looked around before tightening her hold on Liz's arm. The unnerving feeling was back and Kamryn was about to turn around when she felt two hands on her back moving down her shoulders to her waist before she felt someone ones face press against her back.

"I was wondering when you would notice." Came the voice over the voices of the crowd, Kamryn relaxed as she heard the soft din of her friend Dria. Saya and Liz turned to Kamryn as they saw arms coming around and wrapping themselves around their friend before a head poked around the side. It was Dria dressed in a black pinstriped pencil skirt and a deadly slit with beautiful blood red stilettos, her top was a blood red silk blouse and a pin-stripped vest with a black fedora fix back to a canted angle much like Kamryn's.

The arms came away as Kamryn turned to stare at her friend a smile in her eyes even if they were shadowed. Dria moved away from Kamryn and went over to Liz and Saya greeting Liz with a smile a hug for Saya. Liz looked at Kamryn with a raised eyebrow as Saya and Dria moved to curl up in with Kamryn under the cloak as someone with a camera came by and snapped a few shots with the Shadow and the girls.

Kamryn stood at Liz's back with her arms stretched our around Liz with the cloak up as if the darkness was all around her, Kamryn's head of canted down off to the side as if to look at Liz's face who stood as if leaning into the Kamryn's arm. Once the photos were done the group of four took off down the street towards the sounds of the pounding bass, the lines of people waiting to get into clubs. As they walked amongst the throngs of people they headed for a much more upscale looking building where they bypassed the line up of people in costumes that looked at the four with envy.

Once at the door Dria had talked to the door man in a black suit with shades on, it was clear that by the building they were at this was an expensive venue. Dria had a few more words and looked to Kamryn and the door man nodded once. As they got patted down Kamryn looked at the man as he checked her over and let his hands rest a second longer on the handgun that was in it's chest holster nodding to Kamryn once before continuing on.

"Welcome to Hell Dire Wolf, try not to put a hole in anyone tonight." Kamryn chuckled and nodded once before being let in. As they moved through into the venue Dria led the group with Kamryn pulling up the tail, off to the left were a couple of ballrooms with more traditional dancing with a waltz going on while the other room had a tango going. Continuing on and passing by a coat check and a wet bar they heard the low thumping of bass coming from the dance room they were coming up to. There was music all over and people around were enjoying themselves.

"Lets go and make ourselves known in the main room and get a few drinks. I will however be taking Kamryn dancing, you want to join Saya?"

"Oh you don't need to ask, I haven't had a chance to dance with her in a while, but club dancing sounds nice first."

"Oooh you read my mind." Kamryn chucked as Saya and Dria pulled at Liz's arms towards to the heavy bass filled room, the song playing Kamryn had no idea as soon as they reached the doors and they were opened by security Kamryn's ears were assaulted heavily as the pressure built on her ear drums to Missy Elliot's 'One Minute Man'. Liz's eyes bugged out as the two other women took her to the dance floor and they started dancing with her. Shaking her head Kamryn moved away from the dance floor and went to the bar pulling one of the small wads of cash out and getting a whiskey as a few of the women came by gently running their hands over her shoulder not knowing who they were around.

When the bartender came back with Kamryn's drink she gave the woman a twenty and told her to keep the rest as she pulled down the scarf to drain the drink in one go and putting the cup upside down giving the 'Sally' Bartender a wink and pulling her scarf back up into place and turning on her heel and going into the dance floor where the three dancing closely and provocatively with each other. It was clearly something that Kamryn was used to and Liz was finally letting loose and relaxing as she spun to dance with her back to Dria's her arms over her head while Saya was running hand down her sides before bringing them out to her sides and over her head in an arc.

The trio was given room as Dria pulled away into the small opening as she sashayed her hips and did a solo dance with hands down over her body. The men tried to get close but she pushed them away as Kamryn made her way to Dria just as she spun her hands come up off her hips and out to the side and about half way up as Kamryn got there taking her hands and pulling her close leading her into a tango in time with the beat.

The gathering of people spread back allowing them room as the tango took a wide stance and Kamryn dipped Dria into a sweep before pulling her to a standing and stepping her back while Dria performed some fast foot before being spun and being pulled with her back to Kamryn's front and moving her way down with her hand on Kamryn's face and chest before shooting to a stand and pushing Kamryn to turn as Saya stepped into the 'ring' and going into a team tango with the two women. The cat calls were getting louder as were the moves the three were doing as Kamryn dipped Saya while Dria spun kicking a leg up that was hitched up on Kamryn's hip with her arms over top of the lead. The song was seductive as was the dancers and by the time that it ended even the DJ was giving a standing ovation to the trio. As the next song started Kamryn was working up a sweat under the costume, Saya stole Dria's fedora and put it on as Dria put her arms around Kamryn in a hug before letting go and taking off to get some drinks while pulling cash from inside her shirt from her bra.

Liz came over to the remaining two with a shocked look on her face, Kamryn was giving a shit eating grin to Liz from behind her scarf while Saya laughed pulling Liz towards to the bar where Dria was standing at getting shots for the group. Kamryn followed for the next few hours it involved drinking, dancing with the girls and standing out on a deck of sorts to clear her head. Dria and Saya were keeping Liz occupied as Kamryn pulled her phone out and looked at the news report sent to her by one of the clan members. Pulling up the live feed Kamryn wanted to break the phone before she shut it off and sent an text back asking for all information to were Reddington had disappear to and with.

Disappearing back into the hotel turned Hallowe'en Venue, Kamryn looked around into the ballroom seeing Dria talking with Liz. Saya was coming back from what she was guessing was the bathroom, quickening her stride Kamryn took Saya by the arm and entered the dance floor into a Halloween waltz. Keeping her close Kamryn spoke into Saya's ear.

"Reddington has been caught, it's all over the national news, he was at a party in China. The clan is looking into the location of him, but I'm going to take off."

"You realize Liz will do everything she can to follow you… you know that right?"

"I know" Kamryn lifted Saya in a turn and let her down before turning her back to her and leading her in a step stride before turning her back to her. "I'm going to leave now so that she doesn't try to tag along, I'll let you know as soon as I have him. Dancing to the edges Kamryn bowed her head to Saya and started for the door which wasn't unnoticed by Dria or Liz by the speed and purpose of her strides. Liz took off away from Dria just as Saya started after Liz, the group stood outside as it started to rain with Liz yelling at Kamryn as she stood there waiting for a pick up from the clan.

"You can't leave me behind!"

"I can and I will, you are much too important and I will not take you to a place that could get her you hurt, kidnapped while I'm trying to get your idiot of a father out from where ever it is he is being held."

"I'm going with you and that's that."

"Liz…." The staring contest between the two of them was dangerous and Kamryn all but snarled. "Fine, but I'm only doing this because you would probably stow away on whatever vehicle I'm taking. A cellphone rang and Kamryn pulled it out of her coat and answered it, listening to the voice on the other end Kamryn's body went tight. The others watched as the Direwolf hunched over before she stood up straight and looked over her shoulder.

"I've received word that Reddington is being taken to a Blacksite called the Factory. It's still prelim but the Vampire just called me. We're leaving, we don't really have much time to change."

"Guess we better get going then." Liz said

"Indeed" No sooner had Kamryn said that a black SUV squealed to a stop in front of costumed body guard and she opened it as the others got in, Dria was pulling her phone out of hiding from her bra and making calls to clear some things away at the airstrip and to have a jet waiting.

"I have a jet waiting for you along with some things otherwise I'm guessing you are going in your costume?"

"What better way to scare the crap out of the enemy than being The Shadow, who sees what lurks in the eyes of men." Dria rose an eyebrow as Kamryn's voice dropped into a sinister cackle, Dria turned in her seat and shuddered muttering under her breath as the other two shifted away hugging each other.

"I forgot she could do that…"

The cackle continued for a moment or two before dying down and Liz shook in her seat wrapping her arms around her. Kamryn cocked her head to the side and figured that she might as well give them an explanation as to why she sounded like hell incarnate.

"Back when Dria and I went to college together, we both took a stagecraft program. She was a costumer and I was a set tech. I made the sets, painted occasionally… I made the props and special effects and I acted as a live sound Foley. I am also one of the only people in the program with the ability to change, warp and throw my voice as well as make it give off a kind of echo effect. That actually took years of practice to perfect and to this day it scares the living shit out of people… Don't it Dria.?"

"I'm going to say what I told you all those years ago, fuck you and your nightmare voice Kamryn." Dria said sourly, Kamryn laughed normally before something was thrown at her head and it bounced off the Fedora that Kamryn tilted down.

"Aww muffin…" Snickered Kamryn as she took off her hat and pulled her scarf down before rubbing the sweat off her forehead with her hand, Dria threw a wad of paper at Kamryn's head and smirked in self satisfaction that it hit her target in the face. Kamryn rubbed at her nose where the wad had hit her and she glared at Dria before she turned to looked at Saya and Liz who looked like they were trying to hold in their laughs, glowering the two burst out in laughter while Kamryn rolled her eyes and muttered something. Internally Kamryn was glad there was laughter, the situation was that depressive and serious that there needed to be some sort of levity as small as it was.

Upon making it to the airfield the group of four got out of the SUV as Saya handed the fedora she had taken from Dria back. Kamryn pulled her fedora back on and hugged Dria and kissing her cheek before offering a smile and heading for the private jet that was waiting for them. Saya and Liz said their good byes before going after Kamryn and climbing into the plane.

The planes Captain came out of the cockpit and shook hands with Kamryn and told them they would be leaving in a moment, they would be crossing into the States to Alaska, from there the would taking a helicopter to a ship that was on it's way to the factory, it would a few hours and they would be departing and taking the helicopter as soon as they landed. Thanking the pilot Kamryn took her hat off again and shook the rain off the material and took her cloak off and she too shook it off before putting it on an empty seat with her scarf following it. The others got on and took their seats.

The pilot stuck his head out again and looked at the trio, "There are also a couple bags that were requested we bring with us, there is one for each of you so you can change." The man shut the door as the engines started up on the plane. Saya opened the compartments above and saw the duffle bags each one marked. Dria must have gotten in contact with Mr. Kaplan because it was the woman's writing and note attached to Saya's bag that had Give to Kamryn. written on the envelope. Taking it and handing it to Kamryn who sat in her long coat with the single gun holster under her right arm but under her left were magazines, a folding knife and a steel garrote in what was a holster of sorts.

Leaning her head back against the seat Kamryn opened her eyes as Saya sat down beside her and held out the letter. Taking it with a gloved hand Kamryn opened it and pulled out the papers in as Liz sat down across from her and buckled up, as did Saya who did her own and Kamryn's.

Kamryn,

I know there is nothing that I can do to stop you in retrieving my employer, but you must be careful. Do not let Liz out of your sight. What she has is more important than anything else and if the others get their hands on it or her it could spell out a large enough problem.

Liz has something called the Fulcrum and I know Raymond won't tell you, but it is a culmination of more than 25 years worth of intel on some of the most dangerous people in the world. Keep Liz safe.

Mr. Kaplan

The note was short and sweet and Kamryn folded the letter and tucked it away so that even Saya couldn't have a read of the information. This was meant for her and for her alone and with the knowledge that Liz held something that important churned Kamryn's stomach with unease.

Closing her eyes Kamryn readied herself for what was coming next and so she nodded off as her body went lax and her head bumped and moved along with the motions of the plane as it took off, banked and continued on their destination to Alaska. As Kamryn napped Liz and Saya stood when they were allowed to and went to get changed, Saya pulled down Kamryn's bag and set it by the side of her chair after she poked into it noticing that it was serious looking military set up, Kamryn wouldn't be going in costume that much was certain.

An hour left into the flight Saya gently woke Kamryn up and watched as the demeanour of the woman changed as she was handed her duffle bag. Heading to the back room where there was a shower Kamryn stripped down and shredded the note and flushing it down the toilet so that no one could read it. After her quick waking shower Kamryn changed into her black combat uniform and sat on the edge of the toilet and tying her boots up and pulled the pant legs over top of the boots and stood up tucking her shirt into the waist of the pants pulling her custom vest with plates over top of the shirt.

Adjusting the cuffs of the shirt Kamryn checked the pouches and found another note from Mr. Kaplan, reading it slowly she put her hand on the door frame before shredding it again and setting into the toilet flushing it again. The Factory was dangerous and according to Dembe it would be a place that not even Raymond's men could get to. Kamryn was lucky enough to get a pass to it because the boat they were going to be stowing away on would be a cargo ship with supplies meant for the Factory.

Looking at the mirror to her left Kamryn saw her face age and knew that something was going to go wrong but she couldn't help but try to shake it and get Raymond Reddington back from the bowels of hell. Putting her clothing away into the bag and holstering her Sig and ammo away into a leg rig Kamryn left the bathroom and walked into the main area seeing Saya and Liz dressed. They both looked at Kamryn and saw how different she was from them and they realized that this would be an operation where Kamryn needed to be dressed to the teeth. The other two were dressed in civilian wear and from the look on Liz's face there was fear in her as Kamryn went to case that was laying down beside the coffee table. Saya watched as Kamryn opened the case with a code and opened the lid taking what was inside it.

Kamryn checked her G36c with it's fixed stock and the under slung M203 mounted to the bottom. Taking the black long silencer Kamryn screwed it on to the end of the barrel and affixed a combat sight onto the top rail before taking the magazines and tapped them to make sure they were good to before putting them into her vest along with several grenades both 'Stun' and Explosive. Taking the two knee to shin-calf guards Kamryn lifted her pant legs and plated them on and used the Velcro patches to tighten them to her legs before pulled her pant legs back down and she pulled out two forearm guards that she velcroed to her arms over the sleeves.

Taking a small medical pouch; Kamryn put that onto her left leg rig and stood up closing the box and locking it. Turning Kamryn held her rifle by the barrel shroud and went to sit back down in her seat as she set the butt of the weapon on the ground and she rested both hands on the shroud locking her fingers together looking at Liz with a predator's gaze.

"You really shouldn't be coming with me Elizabeth, neither of you should be coming with me at all."

"Why not?"

"Because of something that you have in your possession. I will not allow it to fall into the enemy hands, but seeing you are keen on not doing as you are told you will do whatever I tell you."

Liz looked scared, Kamryn never spoke to her in the tone that she was using with her currently and it was terrifying that Saya looked at Kamryn with a strange look before looking at Liz and wrapping an arm around Liz. Kamryn looked down and waited for the plane to touch down and when it did Kamryn hadn't bothered to put her seat belt on and while the other two shifted in their seats it seemed like the weight of what was going to happened kept Kamryn in her seat unmoving even when they bounced a number of times.

Once they stopped Kamryn was up and she was opening the doors before the pilots were able to open their door and Kamryn was outside striding off to the vehicle that was going to give them a short lift to the dock. It was all a blur for Liz as they moved and she and Saya struggled to keep with the Dire Wolf, Kamryn was taking a back seat as they saw the darkness in her eyes. This was the person that Red her father had hired; this was the dangerous animal that was kept as a guardian to Liz. Saya would have to be at Liz's side on the rig, there would be no way that Kamryn could move both her and Liz safely around if she didn't have Saya there.

With what Kamryn had in mind, she would be shutting down the entirety of the Black Site and letting it burn or getting them to burn it into the ocean if only to stop the torture that Kamryn had been told was going on. Whomever was head of the Black Sites were dangerous and it wouldn't be helpful to have people even if they were 'informative' to be tortured and kept the way they were. It certainly didn't help that they had Luther Braxton on site and Red was going into a trap and he knew it, the whole thing stank of the Cabal and Red knew he was going to die if he was on this site trying to stop Braxton.

As soon as they pulled up they ran for the ship as it was slowly pulling forwards, the three took the outside stairs after running to jump up onto them and they were off. It was going to take an few hours to get to the site at full steam and they were running on a schedule that the ship's Captain was more than willing to share. Standing on the deck Kamryn looked out to the ocean feeling the sway of the water under them and the power of the engines.

The bite of the air as the sun started to set made Kamryn's body start to cool, and with the layers she was wearing it was making her stomach drop as she was going to be bring Liz into a place that she didn't want to. This was also a place that even though Saya was going to be able to defend herself it was going to be a nightmare in a place that was predominately men and they were all the worst of the worse for the information that was being tortured out of them. Normally Kamryn would be in for the information gathering from the servers on an operation like this but with Luther Braxton on the rig and with Raymond Reddington futzing about trying to prevent Luther Braxton from completing his plans for the Cabal he felt it was needed to be on site.

As the shadowed form of The Factory started to come in the distance Kamryn turned to hear footsteps from a heavy set man step up side Kamryn.

"The factory and I have to say I don't get paid enough to take all this shit to this place."

"I don't blame you, I'll talk to my employer to see if he can give you a better contract rate pulling for him and his organization once I get the man out."

The Captain nodded as a radio on his hip went off and he pulled it up listening to the crackling call that they were being hailed. Turning and leaving the man headed back to the bridge as Kamryn stood adjusting the sling of her rifle on her shoulder. Saya and Liz had been inside staying warm as Kamryn looked in on the ocean as the Rig got larger and larger signaling that it was time for her to get inside and to were they were supposed to be for the cross over to The Factory.

Getting into the cargo hold Kamryn, Liz and Saya were ushered into wooden crates with false bottoms. As the containers were moved into the cargo containers where being readied. Thanking the Captain and her crew Kamryn allowed herself to be locked into a crate with an oxygen tank and mask. It was a further hour before Kamryn felt the crate she was be being moved. The trio had to be separated but there were in the same container just in separate wooden crates. Kamryn was given a signal by the crew that were unloading and they were released from the crates and helped to a stand.

"Thanks boys, get cleaned up and clear out, I don't want you here. You'll be paid as soon I'm able to get a signal out to my people."

"Pleasure Wolf."

Liz and Saya stood near by with guns in hand, Kamryn adjusted the strap on her shoulder for the rifle she was carrying and she took off using the shadows and the noise of the generators to cover the sounds of the footfalls of the three. Stepping into a hall Kamryn scanned the halls and looked at the emergency exit plans and took in the floor levels.

"Okay, we need to go to special holdings. Red should be there if we know well enough for the people holding him. We need to an eye out fo…." Just as Kamryn was about finish her sentence a siren scream split the air and the trio cringed before Kamryn was able to locate one of the alarms and she shot it shutting down at least that small second as the ringing in their ears cleared a bit.

"Forget I said anything, lets move." Kamryn brought her rifle to her shoulder and she took off down the hall as Elizabeth and Saya brought their weapons to bear at the ready. It seemed like all hell was breaking loose as the trio started for the upper levels of the Blacksite. Prisoners were out of there cells or cages and the amount of death that was being processed through the site was incredible. Sticking to much of the lesser used passages it was only when someone was thrown through a doorway followed by a mountain of a man that Kamryn stopped to have a stare down.

"Move."

"You are going to give me that gun before I take it away from you little girl."

"Move." Liz and Saya stepped back from the Dire Wolf as the man started for Kamryn only to be shot once, his brains sprayed out the back of his skull as the 5.56mm round went through bone easy and pinged against a steel beam his body collapsed to the ground.

Kamryn didn't say anything as she stepped over the body and went through the door leading to stairs. Looking up Kamryn took in the fact that they would need to climb five flights of stairs but it was better than trying to take an elevator. As the three moved up gun fire erupted and the trio was split up Saya was with Liz thankfully as Kamryn hunkered down behind a wall as concrete sprayed the air from the bullet impacts.

"Get her out of here!"

Kamryn pulled a flap up on one of the pouches on her vest yanking a cylindrical device out. Moving her head to the side as a bullet ripped through her cover and missed her by inches Kamryn pulled the pin on the stun grenade and she chucked the grenade into the mess that was shooting at her. Seconds later the grenade went off and she pushed to a stand and opened fire on the prisoners some of which had taken cover and were firing back.

Saya pushed Liz away from Kamryn and they took off back down the hall as Kamryn worked her way into the main room that a good deal of fighting was happening in. Once Kamryn had emptied the magazine she dropped the rifle and let it swing around to her back and she drew her pistol and fired through half the clip dropping everyone else.

Leaving the room Kamryn had run into Red who happened to be trailing three others with him.

"Reddington."

"Wolf, what are you doing here?"

"Compliments of Mr. Kaplan."

Red had said nothing and stepped up close to Kamryn looking into the bodyguard's eyes.

"Tell me you didn't bring my daughter."

"Have you tried to reason with her? She's as stubborn as you. She's with Saya at the moment, we had to split because of a gun fight. I don't know where they are at the moment but she is safe with Saya that one I will tell you." The look on Red's face was dark but Kamryn returned the dark look and let a low growl emanate from her throat.

"You don't scare me, remember what I do for a living Reddington." The Concierge of Crime dropped his eyes first and led the way heading somewhere with a purpose.

"Where are we going?"

"The boilers, I do love a good explosion." Kamryn turned and followed as the tail of the group pulling out her phone and opened the app that was built for the proximity markers she had pinned to Saya and Liz. They were close enough that Kamryn ran up to Red and told him she was going to get them. With a nod Kamryn headed off and listened to the beeps of from the phone in her ear and as she got closer to them she saw Saya choking out one man while Liz was thrown into a wall. Kamryn had her Sig Sauer up and she pulled the trigger once and the man's head clacked against the wall by Liz and he fell to the ground. Saya turned to Kamryn and Liz spun around looking at her saviour.

"Kamryn!"

"Your father is pissed, Saya finish with him and let us get going, I know where Red is going to be." Kamryn swapped the clip in the Sig and replaced the magazine in her rifle before she led the trio down the halls and pathways to the boiler room however they didn't fully make it to the room as Red and the two other men that he was with were sitting a few doors down from the room.

"What's the hold up?"

"We can't get into the room because of the security door and we do not have the code."

"How do we get into the room?" At this a man off to Red's right spoke up and pointing to a ventilation duct.

"Someone needs to get up into the shaft and into the room, from there we can be let in. The problem is that we are too big to fit." Kamryn snickered and looked at Red who glowered at Liz's body guard. Liz was about to say that she was going to go in and get the door open but Kamryn slung her rifle and moved to the grate as Saya popped her neck. Everyone watched as Kamryn spun on her heel as Saya ran at Kamryn, "What…"

Kamryn locked her left hand over her right wrist and she hunched her shoulders a bit before squatted down as Saya planted a foot on the space that Kamryn made. With a grunt Kamryn launched Saya up who went up onto the vent with almost no sound. Sitting on top the opening Saya pried open the grate and crawled in. Kamryn turned and rubbed her wrists and looked at the group who looked at her with their mouths open.

"You do realize that Saya is a ninja right Red?"

A puff of air from his lips was enough as the door was opened a minute later and a cheeky grin from Saya met Red's glowering look as the group walked into the boiler room and they shut the door behind them. Heading for the terminal the German was covered by the five others who stood about waiting and looking around.

The German stood up from the panel and looked to Red and than the others.

"There is a fail safe, I can't reprogram the boiler to overload. It has to be done manually with someone manning the board and the valves adjusting the pressure every ninety seconds. Frankly I think you should just leave, because I'm not standing here with a slight chance that I will get blown up." Red pointed the handgun into the German's stomach but Liz spoke up.

"We can do this, just you, me, Saya and Kamryn. We can do this." Red glared at Liz but relented and the German took off, the other man said something to Red about him doing anything for him but this was not what he wanted to do. The man was square and he left wishing them good luck as Red turned to Kamryn having a staring contest. Liz and Saya went to the board and the valves the two talked amongst themselves while Red stepped into Kamryn's space.

"What is Liz doing here?"

"You think I didn't try to stop your daughter, she followed me and she wasn't having any of it. I wanted to bring her even less when Mr. Kaplan left me a note saying something about the Fulcrum and that Liz knows of it or has it. Trust me this was the last thing I wanted to do." Kamryn hissed out quietly enough that the other two didn't hear, Red's eyes shifted to Liz. He wiped her memory of the night of the fire for a reason and that included the information about the Fulcrum even he didn't know where it was and it was the file he had been toting that he had to the Cabal to stay alive.

"Why can't life be simple…"

"Was that a rhetorical question?"

Kamryn stepped back from Red went around him as he went to sit down while Kamryn checked in with the Boiler instability.

"We have maybe another cycle or two before we can leave. I think you need to apologize to Red Liz, I don't think he likes the fact that you went against his wishes as well as the wishes of your protector."

Red sat down heavily on a raised bit of concrete when he looked to Liz before setting the handgun he had taken and rested it on his thigh as his daughter walked up to him jamming her hands into the pockets of her coat.

"I wasn't going to let you go, not without a fight."

"Lizzie…"

"No, our relationship as father and daughter started up again and it's barely there. We've spent more time working together than being a family. Hell, I spend more of my time with the family's 'Dog'… no offence Kamryn."

"None taken." Kamryn said from by the panel as she watched it. Red gazed sadly at his daughter and knew that she spoke the truth. It was sad he had fought for so long to get his daughter back, make sure that Liz was indeed his daughter while ensuring she was safe from the Cabal the very people that had hunted him down for over twenty years of his life.

"Lizzie. I. You are right, but I have spent so much of my life making sure that you have been kept out of harm's way. I have fought this war for over twenty years and there has been almost no time to think about the family, there are still things that I have to do, secrets that must remain hidden. There…" The twitch under Red's eye was more than enough to show the kind of strain he was under and it was tearing him apart knowing that he couldn't just outright tell Liz everything, but in doing so it would that much more dangerous for his daughter and it wasn't fair.

"I don't give a crap Red, I want you to be in my life. I want you to tell me the truth on everything, I want you there!" Red let his head hang as his age started to show, here sitting in this prison was not the confidant criminal that ran a worldwide organization or two. No, here sitting now was a man that held the weight of the world on his shoulders and the guilt that he had to hold onto because of things having gone wrong in his life.

"Lizzie…" There was another hiss and a near alarm sound of the boiler as Kamryn played with the valves letting out steam.

"You two need to go in a therapy of some sort, it's painful to watch the man that got blackmailed and had his life torn apart and his daughter who has trust issues. Granted those issues are warranted but Reddington, you need to let your daughter in. You can't keep doing this to yourself and to her, fix your issues when we are no longer on this death trap and let's get the fuck out of here." Red nodded and the vulnerable man went to stand up and the criminal face was back on in place but he looked pained by the conversation that he would be needing to have with Liz when this was all over.

There was a soft noise from down the hall as Kamryn played with the boiler one last time, alarms started to ring out as a number of people came around the bend opening fire. Kamryn lifted her rifle and returned it as Red rose his hand gun her had pilfered from someone else.

"We need to get out of here!" Saya grabbed Liz and dragged her through the exit as Kamryn and Red fired down the hall before running it seemed that they only had seconds before an explosion ripped through behind them. The ringing in her ears was the first thing that had come to mind as dust began to settle, opening her eyes she saw the flames and the pain from the resulting explosion that they had just been through. Shaking her head Liz pushed herself to her knees and looked around the ruins of the hall that they were in.

Seeing Saya sit up and check her head for injures the Japanese ninja coughed and looked around seeing Liz on her knees, picking herself up gingerly Liz and Saya met half way as they looked around the wreckage. It was quiet or as quiet as it could have been. Liz gazed about and saw some piece of the ceiling panel laying on top of something, shifting through the rubble Liz was on her knees pulling the piece away and saw that it was her father. With wide eyes Liz checked Red over and found that he wasn't breathing, panic started to set in as Liz started chest compressions as Saya looked around for Kamryn.

"Come on breath Red, breath…" Liz pushed down on Red's chest for ten counts and checked his airway hearing nothing before going back to the compressions.

"I can't find Kamryn." Liz looked up from the compression and gazed about before looking back down, tears started to sting her eyes as thoughts that her the last thing that her and Red would have argued about would have been something so trivial. The thoughts that she would never get to tell Red, her father how much she loved him stirred her heart in twinge of pain.

Saya came over and quickly wrote something and shoved it into Red's hand closing it around the slip of paper as voices started to come through what used to the be the boiler room, "We need to go Liz, we can't stay here."

"I'm not leaving him!"

"You have no choice Liz, lets go!"

"No!" Liz stopped her compression and pulled the paneling over top of Red and turned around as the voices and people turned the corner. Liz ran at the group and she managed to cold clock one before she tried to tackle one of the others. Saya even with her minor injuries and the blood coming from somewhere on her scalp managed to rear choke hold one before the butt of a rifle hit her from the side and she blacked out letting the man she had hold of go.

Both Liz and Saya were taken away as Liz fought back as much as she could before being dragged away, her thoughts for Red laying in the rubble with the ceiling tile pulled over him, not to far off from where Red was laying a hand was poking out of the rubble of dry wall and small bits of concrete the sleeve of the arm somewhat smoking.

Red had no idea how long he had been laying on the ground or how long he had been out of it, his chest hurt from whatever pounding he had taken and images of the explosion flew through his head as someone pulled the sheet of ceiling off of him and pulled him up to a sitting position. Coughing Red looked around before his gaze turned to the guard that he had talked to into taking his money to survive.

Clenching his hands Red felt something in his left hand and he opened it to see the scrap of paper that had been placed there, taking it and opening it Red read that Kamryn was missing and possibly in the rubble. Being helped to a stand Red looked around as his head rang and the pain on his scalp burned from the dust and other crap in the wound. Seeing a gloved hand a few feet away Red got the guard to help him remove the rubble and once uncovered Red knelt down and pulled Kamryn out patting down the smoking arm and back to make sure the smoulders were out. The back of Kamryn's tactical vest was frayed, and damaged by it was still together the ceramic plate that she had was shattered, Red had taken the time with the guard to check his daughter's bodyguard over finding that the woman's ribs were bruised, worst case scenario cracked but the breathing wasn't laboured.

Taking the ammonia sticks that Kamryn had in her vest Red cracked on open and put it under Kamryn's nose it woke the woman up with a pained grunt, there were a few cuts and abrasions at the back of Kamryn's neck and small burn on the right side of her face by her jaw to add to the many the Dire Wolf had.

"Liz was taken, Saya is gone as well."

Kamryn was helped to her feet and when she took a step she stumbled to her knee before being rushed by Red and the guard.

"We need to move, if she was taken we'll find her." Kamryn shook her head to dislodge the fog that hit her, she may or may not have a concussion and there wasn't anything that they could do at the moment but their jobs. It pissed Kamryn off that this would be the second or maybe her third time being caught in an explosion and it was not something that she enjoyed. The anger helped clear the fog and it allowed for the trio to leave following the guard, heading to a control room of sorts Kamryn sat against a wall with her rifle sitting on her lap while Red had removed his tux jacket tossing the ruined material on the ground. Taking shells and loading them into the shotgun in hand Red listened to the guard saying that it would be too dangerous because all of the inmates were free and they were dangerous. Red racked the slide on the shotgun and told the guard he was a good man and they he should find a different line of business before pocketing a dozen and a half worth of slugs into his pants pocket. Looking down to Kamryn who slowly pushed herself to a stand Red watched as the woman switched out the magazine to her rifle pulling the charging handle back readying herself with a shake of her head to remove the last of the fog.

"I'm going to get her back." Red said to the guard before putting the handgun at the small of his back in his pants, Kamryn nodded and went to the door opening it with a grunt before bringing her rifle up to bare looking at the PDA strapped to her wrist. Looking back Kamryn saw Red coming out of the room with his shotgun at the ready, he snagged a peek of the marker location and he took off ahead of Kamryn. Moving through The Factory the chaos was apparent as once they made it out into the courtyard a big man had strolled up to Red asking for his shotgun, in response Red fired a shot and racked the slide as Kamryn put two bullets into a man that was running up with a stun baton.

Following the PDA map Kamryn and Red laid waste to all opposition with Liz looking on surprised when Kamryn and Red shot their way into the room while nicking Luther Braxton in the arm. Liz had picked up a gun and the three had their weapons pointed at the burglar holding his arm as he engaged Red verbally, the two had it out as Kamryn wondered where Saya was.

"I know about the Fulcrum, I know where it was twenty years ago. I know about the house, the fire, the girl." At this point Red wished that he had more ammunition for his handgun he had that sat dry in his hand. Liz looked back to Red and knew they were talking about the night of the fire, the fire that she didn't quite remember the events of the fire and the night that Red did something that he shouldn't have.

Kamryn lifted her rifle a bit steadier as she stepped up beside Liz, Kamryn was going to put a bullet into this man and make sure that the Fulcrum was kept safe wherever it may be. However before Kamryn pull the trigger an explosion rocked the area as the tower they were in was hit and everyone had was displaced by the blast and then debris.

When Kamryn came around her head rang even more than from the first blast as she was being picked up by Saya who sported a split lip and a bruise on the side of her face while Reddington was fixing a radio that had been taken from Kamryn's vest. It was a makeshift signal booster from what Kamryn's fuzzy vision could make out before she popped the question when Red turned to her.

"Where is she?"

"Braxton took her and we are sinking." Saya pressed something to the side of Kamryn's face as the Dire Wolf blinked back the black coming in on her vision. Kamryn pulled Saya down and spoke gently into her ear before she let her head fall back against the rubble wall from the concussion she had sustained. Saya made sure Kamryn was okay before standing and wobbling across the debris to the older man.

"Kamryn said there should be a ship just off site waiting to pick us up. We should be able to contact them on one of the saved frequencies on the radio." Red turned to the radio and searched through finding one of a couple frequency before he pressed the talk button.

"Gordon Marlo, this is Raymond Reddington and the Dire Wolf, come back."

Letting the button go Red turned the volume up and struggled to listen over the fire that was burning a few feet away, depressing the button again Red repeated the call and let the button go before he switched to the next channel. This time Red was met with success and the man on the other hand picked up after the second call and Red breathed a sigh of relief as did Saya who looked out of the hole that had been created by whatever it was that hit them. Turning back to Kamryn, Saya looked to Red and saw that his back was splattered with blood and a long laceration down the length of his back to his belt line through his vest and shirt, she took stock of his head and the cut on the side.

"Raymond your back, your head…"

"Right now none of that matters, what matters is getting my daughter back from that idiot sleaze bag." Saya moved back to Kamryn pulling the rifle strap over her shoulder pulling it over her head and shoulder slinging it on her back. Red finished the conversation with the boat captain before unhooking the radio and clipping it to his belt.

"Time to go, the ship is coming back, they had radioed for a chopper to get us off of the ship." Red came around and helped Saya pulled Kamryn up pulling and arm over his shoulder along with Saya, the security guard that had helped Red had run in and he led them out with a couple more survivors to where the ship was coming to get them from. At one of the docks that was still above water a couple of smaller dingy like boats were sitting ready as the Captain had come onto what remained of the platform taking Kamryn gingerly from Red. Kamryn was lowered into one of the boats and Red was helped in before Saya climbed in, the rest went to the other boat and they left the sinking facility.

With the wind blowing through them chilling them, Red put a hand to the cut on his scalp and felt the dried blood there. Pain went through him as his finger hit the broken skin, Red quickly pulled his fingers back and felt the dull ache in his back from the laceration that had stopped bleeding due to the cold and the wind drying it all up. Looking to Saya watching her card a hand through Kamryn's hair he took stock of her injuries and realized that she had taken as much the brunt of the first explosion as she did with the second one, granted his heart had stopped from what Saya had told him quietly but Kamryn had been behind him and thus she had taken more punishment.

Getting to the larger ship the crew helped the injured people to medical were Kamryn had woken up again to a killer headache leading her to vomit whatever was in her stomach. Saya had been at her partner's side talking as soothingly as possible while Red sat still getting the cut on his head looked at before he was helped out of his vest and shirt to have his back stitched up. It would still be a few hours before Red's chopper team would be there with Baz and his team. Mr. Kaplan was working with Aram and Samar to track Liz, but it was if she had fallen off the earth and that was not a good thing.

As Red had his back stitched up by the ships Medical Officer the Captain and Red had struck up a business deal and it led to an agreement between to run routes for his Syndicate and the Japanese Clan. For Red no matter the situation he was in it was always good to cultivate his business and the shipping routes would ensure that if his daughter was anywhere on the ocean his people would know.

Arriving back on land, the Trio along with Red's security team were taken back to the Clan lands and Kamryn had been taken to her room that she shared with Saya to recover. Mr. Kaplan had met with Red along with Mr. Vargas, Aram, Samara and his teams to hash out search and retrieve duties for Liz. After the meeting was done, Mr. Kaplan ordered Red to remain home while she and the others went about completing the task set before them. Red at first refused however Mr. Kaplan threatened to string Red up and play the worst sort of music that Red hated for a week. Red shuttered at the thought of listening to Rap or Hip Hop while stuck in his bed.

Sitting around wasn't what Red had in mind but with Mr. Kaplan running the show for the time being, the only thing that Red had was the anger that his daughter was taken and he couldn't bring himself to blame Kamryn, however Kamryn when she woke up might take it to blame herself and she would disappear to go and find her charge even if it might kill her and that was something Red wouldn't allow her to do.

Going to Kamryn's room, Red knocked in the door and saw the pained look on Saya's face. Letting Red into the room, the man saw Kamryn spread out in her in the bed on her front with cloths covered in blood pressed to her back.

"Kamryn is more injured than I thought, her plate didn't take all of the debris from the blasts, and there are a couple of pieces that I found lodged into her back. Nothing dangerous but I'm afraid of what she's going to do when she wakes up. She has never lost someone and this will weigh on her heavily."

"I know, I'm angry but not at Kamryn, I'm angry that Liz was brought into this situation. I can't imagine where she gets her stubbornness from."

Saya gave Red a pointed looked and he had the grace to look abashed in what was being exchanged between the two.

"We'll find her, we have to… The Cabal cannot have my daughter, and I will burn the world to the ground to get her back" Saya nodded waving Red over and the two set about patching Kamryn up little did they know that their world was going to change.
