Alfred had brought the med. kit to the apartment and then went back to the clocktower. Helena was cleaning up Cole's wound and finally stopped the bleeding. During this time Reese started having a bad feeling about the Cole situation.
"I'll be right back," said Reese.
Helena nodded to him as he walked out the door. When Reese was out the door he contacted Dinah via Com.
"Canary, are you still close to the thug that was on the street?"
"Yeah, about a block away, why?"
"Find out how long ago the Conclave sent Ventroxa and the other one after us."
"Ok. Actually Ventroxa's after the other one now too. He figures that if he kills him the Conclave will spare him. Word on the street is the other one's injured pretty bad now and has went into hiding. Anyway, I'll let you know what I find out in about 10 minutes."
"Ok"
Reese turned and went back into the apartment.
"Hey, Helena, can I talk to you outside for a second."
"Yeah" she said, then turned to Cole "I'll be right back".
They walked back out of the apartment.
"What's going on?"
"Listen, I think we should get going now."
"Yeah, agreed whoever is after him could come back, especially Ventroxa."
"That's not what I meant," said Reese. "I don't have a good feeling about us being here, something isn't right"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" asked Helena, realizing whatever he meant was about Cole.
"I'm saying that something isn't right here, that Cole isn't who he says he is"
"Look, I know you and Dinah don't really care for him. Especially you, but whatever we had was over a long time ago and I would appreciate it if you kept your mind out of my business."
"This is not about that at all. Look, when I spoke to Dinah she said that Ventroxa was working with another person, but he failed. Ventroxa then injured him pretty badly and he's gone into hiding. Think about it Helena, they're both hurt, they're both on the run, and that injury is just like the wounds on the victims that Ventroxa killed. Ventroxa never missed his targets unless they could fight back, he always killed. If Cole was just being used to get to you, he would have already been killed."
"That's ridiculous. I don't believe it, I won't"
"You have to think about it Helena, it makes sense. You said he's been hiding stuff from you, this is it."
"I think you should leave Reese"
"No way am I leaving you here alone with him"
"I'm a big girl I can take care of myself, just go"
"Fine, but you need to get to Dinah soon"
"Whatever"
Reese turned to the elevator, pressed the button, and stepped in. Helena then walked into Cole's apartment.
Dinah was on her way to Cole's apartment after what she had just found out.
"When did the Conclave send Ventroxa and the other guy"
"About 3 months ago, why?"
"Just wanted to know."
"Yeah, the Conclave sent Ventroxa's partner under cover. Sent him to law school and everything."
"Did you say law school? O shit, that's why Reese asked me to find out when. It's Cole"
Dinah then started heading to Cole's apartment as quickly as she could.
