Kurt looked over at Patterson and scowled. "You encouraged her to go out with him?"
"Well, yes, he asked her out like 10 times." Patterson argued.
"You do realize that Jane has the CIA, Sandstorm's entire army, Cade and Sheppard after her?" Kurt pointed out with a look.
"That doesn't mean she can't get a little action," Patterson told him with a smile.
Kurt did not like hearing that.
"Find out everything you can about Oliver Kind. Everything. I want a file on my desk by tomorrow morning." He warned her.
"What, not tonight?" Zapata taunted him.
"No," Kurt denied, "Tonight I get to escort Jane to meet with Oliver."
"That should be fun," Reed looked over at Zapata with a smile.
"Need some company?" Zapata offered, "I wouldn't mind seeing this."
"No, thanks," Kurt looked at her in exasperation.
"Where's Jane?" Reed looked around.
"She went to shower." Patterson explained.
"Oh, that's right," Zapata looked over at Kurt, "The tattoos are soooo sexy."
"That's enough," Kurt warned her. "I'll be in my office. Tell Jane to come there when she's ready."
"Why do you have to do that?" Reed looked at Tasha with exasperation.
"Oh come on," Tasha argued, "After the way he acted with Allie and Nas, he deserved this moment."
"What about Nas?" Jane asked moving over to join them.
Tasha looked over at Jane with dismay.
"Nothing," She denied, shaking her head.
"What's going on?" Jane looked at each of them in turn.
"Jane," Patterson tried to distract her.
"Kurt and Nas…are together?" Jane realized in dismay.
Watching her face, Reed glared at Tasha. Jane just couldn't catch a break and he was angry on her behalf.
"It's nothing," Tasha hastily reassured. The look in Jane's eyes made her realize that she'd gone too far.
"Reed," Jane looked toward him, but not up at him, "Kurt wanted someone to go with me to meet Oliver, could you come?"
"I think Kurt wanted to be the one that went with you," Patterson warned her.
"That was before I realized that Nas might be waiting for him," Jane denied.
"I don't think he will see the distinction," Patterson warned.
"Naw," Reed assured her, "We've got this, Kurt will know that I went with you and you won't have to worry about interrupting their night."
"Thanks," Jane looked up at Reed briefly and he smiled back down at her softly.
"See you tomorrow," Jane told the ladies as she and Reed moved over to the elevator.
"Why do you do that?" Patterson looked over at Tasha with a frown.
"What?" Tasha asked defensively.
"You are constantly needling Jane. You need to stop. She's only human and has been through so much already. Give her a break." Patterson pleaded.
"I don't know why I do it," Tasha finally sank down on a stool next to the computer. "When she first came here, she could do everything. She was like Wonder Woman on steroids. Then when everything fell apart, I felt…betrayed. It was easier to blame her than realize that I was the one that gave Mayfair the address where she was killed."
"You didn't know…" Patterson reassured her.
"Jane didn't know either," Zapata pointed out, "But we still blamed her."
"Why shouldn't I hate myself?" Zapata asked with a sigh.
"You were just trying to help." Patterson insisted.
"It's not just that," Zapata admitted. "All of this is my fault."
"How is that even possible?" Patterson looked confused.
"I gave Jane's file to Carter." Zapata admitted.
"What?" Patterson looked at her in shock.
"I had a gambling problem," Zapata admitted, "Carter found out and said that he would help me out if I provided him with information on Jane."
"Please tell me you didn't." Patterson pleaded.
"I gave him Jane's file. That's why he kidnapped her, that's why Oscar exposed himself to save her. That's how Mayfair was framed for his murder." Tasha began to cry.
"Oh, Tasha," Patterson sank down on the bench next to her.
"So all of this time," Kurt said from the doorway, "You knew not only that Carter was after Jane, you knew how Mayfair came by the address for Sandstorm and you didn't say anything?"
Tash and Patterson looked over at him in dismay.
"Kurt…" Patterson cautioned.
"Not now," Kurt didn't look away from Tasha.
"I couldn't admit what I'd done. It was easier just to blame everything on Jane than to face my own actions." Tasha confessed.
"Be in my office tomorrow at 8 Kurt told her. Where's Jane?" He looked back over at Patterson.
"She left."
"Without me?" Kurt yelled.
"She took Reed," Patterson reassured quickly.
"Why would she do that?" He asked with a tick in his cheek.
"She didn't want to ruin your evening with Nas," Patterson admitted.
"What evening with Nas?" Kurt shook his head in confusion.
"She found out you are seeing Nas," Patterson admitted.
"I am not seeing Nas," Kurt informed them, "So how could she have found out about it?"
"Kurt we've all see you two together, it's pretty obvious." Tasha argued.
"You told her…didn't you?" He looked at Tasha in disgust.
"She overheard us talking," Patterson covered.
"Track her phone," Kurt told her, "And let me know where she's at."
"Of course." Patterson agreed watching him stride out of the room.
