'Let us do something, while we have the chance.'

Just something for the fun of it. Hope you enjoy. I don't own Warehouse 13.

The Shores off Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Day 2

Claudia was happy. Her original Farnsworth was saved. She had put her Farnsworth, cell phone and other personal items in her laptop bag. The Coast Guard crew had fished that out of the waters with a few other items from the boat. Claudia, Steve and John were away from the crew at the moment. Claudia opened the Farnsworth and held it up so that John and Steve could see. While there was some water that ran out of it, she smiled and said, "Lets see." In a second Leena's face appeared, "Hey Leena."

"Is everyone alright? What happened?" Leena asked.

Steve bent into the screen, "A really big wave overturned and sunk the sail boat we were on."

Claudia got the Farnsworth back, "Yes, we are all okay. John Dawes, a Regent, is with us. He and the crew of the boat are okay. We are on our way back to the docks."

"Okay, good. Everyone was concerned. We lost contact with you and were getting pings from the area," Leena related.

"Yeah along with that, could you look something up for us?" Claudia was trying to think of all the things she'd want Leena to look up. She pulled her laptop out of the bag. It had far more water in it than the Farnsworth. She knew it was not protected from the water.

"Sure, what do you need?" Leena responded.

"I saw a lighthouse's beacon flash at us and toward the wave at the same time the wave hit us. Is there anything that corresponds to that?" Claudia asked.

John looked at her, "The lighthouse hasn't been working in years."

"I wondered about that. I saw the lighthouse last night and there was no light coming from it. But there was definitely a beacon this morning. I was hoping we could go there next." Claudia looked down at her self. She was still in her wetsuit. "But first we are going to need some clothes. Leena, it will be a couple hours before we dock and get out to the light house."

"Okay, by then I should have something."

Day 2

Myka was sitting at the computer in the cement building behind the Tesla poles. The computer powered up. Pete was standing behind her. He pointed, "That's a symbol for the old Missile Command game. We aren't going to power the system up are we?"

"No, I'll turn off the computer and we'll get out of here. I just wanted to make sure we were right." Myka turned back to Pete as the computer was powering down, "Should we take this with us, so no one can turn on the system?"

"Good idea," Pete put on his glove and disconnected the cable.

Myka turned to Pete, "Do you think the computer is an artifact?"

"No, but score two for Pete. Did you see any power lines or generators around here?" Pete waved his hands. "Didn't think so. Those poles are powering themselves and the equipment in here." He started his little winner dance. After he calmed down, "So, what do we do next? Head up to Denver?"

"Yeah, we better look at the coroner's report," Myka answered.

"So what do we do with the poles?" Pete shrugged.

"I don't know. We'll have to ask Artie how to move something this big," Myka shrugged too.

They got the computer and headed out to the car. Heading down the road Myka told Pete to call Artie and let him know what was happening. When they got that done and found Claudia and Steve were safe, Myka suggested that Pete call her too. When they got her and Steve, they were almost at the dock and heading into town to get some clothes.

Day 2

Artie stood outside of Delta Computer Industries. He was wondering about the best way to handle getting to Tyler, when the building opened up and most of the people started heading out of the building. He checked his watch and saw that lunch break must have started. He started heading to the front door and saw whom he thought was Tyler. He went up to the young man. "Say, are you Tyler?"

"Yeah, what?" he looked skeptical.

Artie realized that Tyler did not remember, but he was certain he would remember her, "Well, Claudia said to say hi."

"Oh yeah, you were with Claudia, huh. Tell her thanks. She got me set up really good. I mean I always thought about working here, but was stuck down at Tiger."

Artie was now curious. He knew the neither Claudia nor he had fixed this job for Tyler. "So, we did not get a chance to find out what you would be doing. What do they have you working on?"

"Oh, it's sweet. They got a contract to hack into various companies, banks and stuff to prove their security is working. Once I get through, our company sells them a new security platform. Right now I am working on something they call the Warehouse. I think it might be a giant data warehouse." Tyler was smiling at how happy he was with the job.

"You won't happen to know where your boss is right now?"

Tyler looked at Artie like something was wrong. Cautiously he responded, "No, they don't work here. They are over at the corporate headquarters."

Artie continued to press, "What are their names?"

Tyler decided it wouldn't hurt, "Ken Moss over at corporate and our liaison is Agent Sally Stukowski at the FBI."

Artie cringed at the name of Agent Stukowski. They were crossing paths too many times. And now she was involved in attacking the Warehouse. He decided to show his badge and convince Tyler that he was need for another job. He was sure Mrs. Frederic could arrange something to keep Tyler away from the Warehouse.

Day 2

Claudia and Steve got back together at their rooms after their shopping trip. John had arranged for a couple rooms at nice hotel close to the docks. Claudia still had the keys to the rental car and was holding them up. "Ready to go?"

Steve had just opened the door to his room. "Yeah, sure. We're going to that lighthouse?"

"Yep, I want to see what is out there. I have the mini Tesla." Claudia smiled.

"I was able to sign out a Coast Guard Sig." He held up his hand, "Yeah, I know we are Warehouse agents. I got one of the Remington shotguns with the rubber bullets. They are nice they have Taser tip."

"Definitely smancy," Claudia nodded. "Well, lets head over there."

On their way over Artie called, "Just checking to see if you are okay."

Claudia answered, "Yeah, we're fine. We are headed over to the lighthouse."

"Yeah, well I found Tyler. He was working at Delta Computer for someone named Ken Moss and our friend, Sally Stukowski. His job was to hack into the Warehouse," Artie provided.

"It would be a lot harder now with the GD system Doug installed and the extra security I put on," Claudia smiled back confidently. "So, what happened to him?"

"Turned him over to Mrs. Frederic. Let me know what you find." Artie closed his Farnsworth.

When they got to the lighthouse, there was no one around. The lighthouse was on a little island about three hundred yards from the shore. There was a walkway out to the lighthouse and a parking lot on the shore side. They parked and walked out to the lighthouse. It was about three stories high and with white paint. They got to the door and it was open.

Claudia got out her Tesla and Steve brought the shotgun out from under his coat. They advanced up the stairs. Claudia went first slowly working her way up the stairs. When they reached the top they looked around and found a computer hooked to and old style phonograph and then a large crystal lens.

Steve looked at the phonograph, "Looks artifacty to me."

"Yeah, careful. The crystal maybe too." Claudia sat down at the computer and started looking at it.

"You're not going to turn it on?" Steve asked.

"No, but look at this. She pointed to the Delta Computer sticker on the computer.

At the same time her Farnsworth rang. She reached for it and opened it to see Pete, "Hi guys, what's up?"

"We're heading up to Denver," Pete replied.

Myka added, "Good to see you two are okay."

"We're fine. And we think we found a artifact behind the wave that got us and the other boat." She held up the Farnsworth to show them the computer, phonograph and crystal.

"Hey Claud, that's about the same as we found. A laptop, matter of fact looks like the same kind, old air defense system controller and Tesla poles that would make our Tesla guns look like real pea shooter." Pete shifted around and used the Farnsworth to show the laptop.

Claudia saw the sticker on the computer. It was the same, a Delta Computer. She was immediately concerned. She knew a lot about the laptop from when she was shopping for one. But she turned that one down because it came with an embedded GPS tracking unit. She never wanted people, especially people that she did not know, to know where she was. Now that she was an agent, she was sure that was a practice she should continue. "Listen guys while this is just…no listen, all of this seems to be connected with Delta Computers. And while I am not Pete, my nerdy IT senses tells me, you need to get rid of the laptop. It has a tracking unit in it. Whoever is behind this could be tracking you."

"Got it. Getting rid of it now," Pete felt anxious and knew Claudia was right.
