Takes place when Peter gets his phone call and leaves the lab…what happens when he leave?...

Chapter 7 – Photographs

Peter turned the last corner after escaping the confines of the lab. The wind was still blowing outside but the rain had stopped. Jumping in the car, Peter drove on autopilot for about 15 minutes and stopped outside a bar not far from his house.

After shutting off the engine he sat for a moment and wondered who he had gotten there. Hearing his phone vibrate on the seat next to him, he picked it up.

I saw u at the club the other night...

Sighing and closing his eyes he made his way into the bar and looked around until his sight fell on to the only blond there. His eyes met her's through the mirror and she smiled. Peter took his seat next to her and ordered his drink. He was going to need one after this.

"I knew you were back. I heard a rumor at the club a few years ago and I was surprised you didn't come back to see me. Who's the bitch?" The blonds words hit a nerve with Peter, he turned to face her letting the anger bubble over sightly.

"You never say anything about Olivia, again, you got that? And the only reason I am here, right now, Talia is because you said you have information about John Scott. Now tell me or I will make sure the boys know you are talking to me."

Downing the last of her drink Talia turned to face him. Taking him by surprise she pressed her lips to his but received no response. Pulling away she smiled at him, "If I was told there would be a time when Peter Bishop was a one woman guy, I would have laughed. Remember we came first though. Tell you're girlfriend this is the file she is missing from all the boxes found in the bunker. Yea I know about that bunker and to be honest with you I am surprised you don't remember seeing him at the club. He was there almost as often as you were. Oh well." As she rose to leave she turned to Peter one last time, "Keep an eye on your bitch, she might not come back one night, and you might see me the next day."

That's all it took for Peter to snap. Grabbing her by the arm, he pushed her into the wall behind them. Bringing his hands up to her throat and held her for a moment.

Two strong arms grabbed him from behind and slammed a fist into his ribs. He let go of Talia and was dragged out of the bar. Peter was thrown on to the street where he didn't waste any time getting up, file in hand, and walking back to his car.

Swallowing heavily, Peter opened the file to reveal pages and pages of writing. Formula both circled and crossed out and then there were photos. Some of Olivia and some of Tash. Whatever was going on, was bigger than just Tash.

The lab after Olivia locks herself in her office.

It felt like hours since she had shut the door to her office. The song had gotten to her and she didn't want anyone to see her cry. Her mind kept coming back to the song and it was affecting her more than she realized. Rubbing her hands over her eyes, trying to rid the tears that threatened to fall someone knocked at the door before letting themselves in.

"Hey Liv, are you ok?" Peter just watched her as she tried to smile. Giving him a quick nod she hoped that he would not push the issue and thankfully he didn't.

Eying her silently, Peter walked over to her desk and dropped a file on it, "From a friend. Speaking of which, if you need a friend, gimme a yell please."

"Peter, where'd you go today? You looked angry when you came back." Olivia watched as his eyes tried to read her.

"Liv, don't worry about it. I guess the past always comes back to bite you on the ass, mine just seems to have sharper teeth." Peter moved to leave her office but her voice stopped him.

"Please stay, I could use the company." Turning he saw the desperation his her eyes and he smiled.

Taking a seat opposite her he placed his feet up on her desk and took a file. They worked together for hours.

Until, at about 5pm, Olivia rose from her seat abruptly and stormed out of the lab. Grabbing her keys and coat in one swift motion, she was out the door and in the car before anyone knew what was going on.

Peter's mind didn't click fast enough and she was gone before he was even able to get out of his chair.
