Haven woke the next morning already feeling exhausted but she had work to do. She jumped in the shower and threw on a pair of black slacks with a solid color top. Once she was ready, she grabbed a cup of coffee and raced out the door to check with Aram.
She arrived at the Post Office to see everyone scattering back out, "What's going on?" she asked Ressler as she spied him.
"It's been a long night. Liz visited Reddington last night and stabbed him in the neck with a pen and we had him under observation in the hospital but he's escaped. Stay here and wait for updates," he ordered as he followed the other agents out the door.
Haven was surprised that Reddington's night had taken such a twist but she couldn't worry about that so she found Aram, "I know you're probably scouring the city for any sight of Reddington and whoever he might be working with but did you get a chance to look over those tapes I gave you?"
Aram nodded, "i did actually. There were two voices on the recording. One was a male voice that didn't show up in the database and the other was another once of our agents, well more of a guard, Mike Hamilton. He works here if you wanna have a chat with him," Aram told her causing her face to light up.
"Does anyone else know you're looking into this for me?" she asked, looking around the room, her eyes focusing on another female in the room.
Aram nodded, "Cooper knows and I had Agent Tori Nakamura help me with the tapes because I've been so busy. Any reason you want this kept quiet?"
"If there is a mole then it's important that not many people know we're looking because they'll be quicker to cover their tracks. Keep an eye on her, i'm not so sure I trust her," Haven stated throwing a glance Nakamura's way.
"She's been here for years and you're brand new. Be careful not to make enemies," Aram said, his tone so friendly she could tell he was just being genuinely nice.
Haven nodded as she went to find Mike. She found him looking at security footage of the break in at the Core. "Mr. Hamilton, I'm Agent Masters and I recently joined the task force and I'm looking into the breach in the Core, anything you can tell me?"
Mike looked up at her, "I heard Agent O'Toole was down there but I have watched the footage again and again and the only person who enters the area is Tori Nakamura. Does that help you at all?"
Haven smiled to herself, "Any reason your voice would show up speaking with an unidentifiable male voice? Are you trying to cover anything up?"
Mike looked confused, "Can I hear it? I haven't spoken with anyone outside of this agency since last summer."
Haven nodded, "I'll get it for you. Will you be here all day?" Mike nodded as Haven walked back out and straight to Aram, "Can I hear that tape?" she asked.
Aram looked around until he spied it, "Here." Haven took it and placed headphones on to listen to the audio. The report on the voices was correct but it had been tampered with. "I'm gonna take this," she stated as she walked into a close office to call Mr. Kaplan.
"Kaplan," the voice answered.
"Mr. Kaplan, this is Agent Masters. I have a lead but it's been tampered with. Do you have anyone on the outside who can help?" she asked.
"Yes, bring the evidence to the alley outside the Post Office. I will meet you there," she instructed. Haven hung up the call and went outside to meet Kaplan. Moments after she arrived, Kaplan was there. "What do I need to have done with this?" she asked holding out her hand to accept it.
Haven handed it over, "There are two voices on it but I think one was put there to hide a different one. I have a pretty good idea of who it is but i need proof. Can you get it done?"
"I'll call you when I have the results. Reddington wants to see you before he's brought into custody again. Go to this address," Kaplan ordered as she handed Haven a slip of paper.
The address was the library so Haven nodded and took off to head that way. She parked outside the library and went inside to the specified location, the mystery novel section.
She only had to wait moments before Reddington was almost on top of her, "Agent, did you enjoy my choice of meeting place?" he asked.
Haven laughed softly, "How could I not appreciate meeting in the mystery subject while working on a mystery? What can I do for you today?"
Reddington moved to stand with his back to the bookshelf and his front to her, "I have the name of the person who had themselves taken off the tape, or so they thought. Your mole is…"
Haven stopped him, "Tori Nakamura, right?"
Reddington nodded, "Have I told you how adept at this work you are? Yes, she is the mole and we've already sent the tip to Harold. Good work, Masters. Now, I have another assignment for you."
"Let me guess, the person on the other end is the Garbage Collector who I was supposed to find before your arrangement with Keen was set up?" Haven asked, her tone almost as cocky as his.
Red's lips curled into a smile, "The deal isn't set so you still have time and yes that is the mission. Are you up to it?"
Haven nodded, "I'll look into it. How's your neck, by the way?" she said as she cocked her head to look around his head at the bandage taped his neck.
Reddington winced as he reached toward the wound, "It's fine. I will see you again soon."
