Chapter 6

Groaning, Liz tried to stand up but stopped when she felt the train going past her. Chuckling and thinking that they had done it, she started calling out for Ressler.

"Rez! Hey Rez, where are you?"

Hearing some groaning, Liz climbed over the fence and found him straight away. Seeing Ressler roll over onto his back she released a breath. No serious injuries. Reaching him, Liz put her hand on his shoulder and started talking to him. "Hey Ressler can you hear me?"

"Yes, you and the ringing in my ears."

Giving him a small laugh, she watched as he sat up. "Are you hurt anywhere?" She couldn't see any obvious signs that he was hurt.

"No, but i'm sure my body will feel like I got hit by a train later. How about you?"

Liz laughed at his attempt at humour. "Just a headache, I'll be fine."

Before Liz could speak, both of their cells started ringing. She checked her ID and saw that it was Tom. Looking over Ressler's shoulder, she could see his was Cooper. Thinking that she had the better of the callers, she answered. "Tom, hey."

"Liz, when will you be home? Are you working a case?"

Noticing how dry Tom was put Liz on edge. "I should be wrapping it up soon. I don't know how long it'll be though."

"Your dinner's in the oven. I won't wait up" With that, Tom hung up.

Liz looked at the phone like it was crazy. She didn't know why he was acting like that. Thinking of the date and if it had some importance, she couldn't come up with anything. If anything she should be acting like that with him. She still needed to decide what she was gonna do with the gun and passports she'd found. Hearing Ressler coming towards her, she put her phone away and turned to him with a smile. "So, how much trouble are we in?"

"Apart from the damage we caused just now, not much. Cooper's got agents bringing Clarke and Mayor Jackson in."

Thinking of what Red told her about Clarke plus what he didn't -she could figure out for herself that it wasn't good- she was glad. She hated people who thought that they could get away with murder. It also got her thinking of Frost and there was something that just wouldn't leave her alone, so she decided to voice it out loud to Ressler. "You know after everything we've been through today, there's still one thing that's bothering me."

"What's that?"

Seeing that she had piqued his interest, she continued. "Frost...the way we were able to find him and arrest him...it was all too easy."

Ressler nodded and let her continue her thoughts.

"You read his file. After everything he's done and all the years he's been doing it, we were able to catch him within 24 hours of knowing of his existence? It was too easy."

"So what, you think he's got a plan?"

"Wouldn't you? If I was him, I'd have a fail safe in place."

She was thinking like a criminal now, something that Red had told her to do, and it worked. Liz knew something was going to happen, when and how she didn't know, but she was positive that it would. She'd go through everything they had on Frost when they got back to the Post Office. Liz knew she should go home, but with Tom's attitude on the phone, she was too tired for arguments. All she wanted was a shower and some food.
