The news that night was full of news of Mike's apparent betrayal of Richard and Spytech. Emily knew Richard was the one to make those trades, he must have tampered with the evidence, but that would mean he knew she was coming. She needed to think she had already sent Nolan all of the files from the computer to see if he could uncover any adjustments made to it. She needed to think carefully if she wanted to take down Caviaro now.

After awaking from an uneasy sleep she left for Spytech. Everyone walked around with blank expressions, Mike had been the most well liked employee there, no one could believe he was a terrorist. Richard however had a slight glow in his eyes. He called a meeting of all employees, "As I'm sure you have all heard our CFO was arrested last night for supplying equipment to terrorists. I am sure you all share my outrage and disgust at his terrible actions. That is why I have decided to supply the government with all the equipment necessary to bring down these terrorists at a reduced rate. Spytech will survive this and we will come out stronger than ever." As people started to leave he beckoned Emily over to him. "Please accompany me back to my office Emily." He said quietly.

"Of course Mr Caviaro."

They travelled in silence until they reached his office. He moved to the desk and sat down. He gestured for Emily to do the same in a chair in the corner of the room. "So, Emily did you really think you could take me down that easily." He said darkly.

"I don't know what you mean." Emily said her heart pounding He can't possible know she thought.

"Oh I really think you do. I knew there was something wrong with you before you even started working here. You were far too overqualified. So I bugged your apartment."

"You did what!" Emily shouted standing up.

"Sit down Amanda." He whispered.

Emily froze "What did you just call me."

"Amanda, that is your real name isn't it. Amanda Clarke."

Emily moved quickly leaping across the desk and pining him against the wall her hand on his throat. "I could kill you." She said panting.

"Of course you could, but then Mike would die because of what I've done. Just like your fool of a father." He laughed.

She threw him against the desk. "If you kill me everyone will know the truth." He nodded towards the camera watching them. "You and your little friend Nolan Ross will go to prison with Mike and you will never have your revenge against the Graysons." She hesitated; she didn't know what to do. "I already have enough evidence of my own to put you away just like your father, I suggest you destroy any evidence you have against me and my company if you don't want to end up exactly like your father."

"I won't let you win." She whispered.

"I don't really think you have a choice." She stood back and he got off the desk. "Destroy the evidence and I will let you go back to whatever you were doing before you tried to destroy me."

"What about the Graysons, and everyone else who framed my father?"

"They are good customers of mine. You won't touch them. You've lost."

She left for her apartment. She knew he was watching her as she deleted all of the evidence and made Nolan do the same. She looked around, she knew she had lost. Her only option was to return to Japan and make a new plan with Takeda, if he would ever let her leave Redbun Island again. He was right she wasn't ready. Richard had destroyed any hope she had ever had of getting her revenge. She started crying, she would never be able to make the Graysons pay, she would never find peace.

Later that night as she awoke to the sound of footsteps, there was someone in her apartment. She reached for her gun and stood silently. She reached her bedroom door and listened. There was one man and it sounded like he was pouring something. She opened her door a crack. It was gasoline. She raised her gun and pointed it at him "Stop or I'll shoot!" She shouted. He turned and fired a shot from his own gun at her. She ran back into the bedroom and just missed the bullet. She heard him strike a match and throw in down. The fire sprung to life and immediately engulfed the sofa. Emily heard the man run out of the apartment slamming the door behind him. She could barely see through the smoke and the heat was unimaginable. She knew she should leave immediately but she couldn't lose her one link to David. She reached under the bed and retrieved the infinity box. She opened her door to find the rest of her apartment had become flame. There was no way she could escape. The smoke was stinging her eyes and it was getting hard to breathe. She clung to the box, is this the end she thought. Her heart was coming out of her chest, she had never been so scared, she knew this was Caviaro, he had made sure she would never endanger him again. He had killed her.

An alarm was blaring but she could barely hear it. The smoke was killing her, she couldn't breathe and she was slipping out of consciousness. Not only had Caviaro killed her, he had picked the most painful way possible. Her door was now ablaze and the fire was creeping closer to her. She wasn't going to let Caviaro kill her. With the last of her strength she smashed the window and looked out. There was an old fire escape but she didn't know if it would hold her weight. She stepped slowly onto it. It shook beneath her as she climbed down onto the floor below. She threw the box with all her might through the window, it smashed and she crawled through. The ceiling was on fire and it was creeping down the walls. Picking up the box she ran into the main apartment, whoever lived here had already left leaving the door open. In the halls there were other people running desperately trying to escape. She couldn't take it anymore she collapsed.

She woke up in an ambulance with an oxygen mask on and wires attached to her. Two men passing her when she collapsed had carried her down where paramedics had revived her. She still had the infinity box pressed into her chest. No one had been able to separate her from it. She watched as the fire-fighters ran into the building to tackle the blaze. There were crying people all around her, many had lost their homes and she saw several people who were injured. How many people have had their lives ruined and for what? He had already won! It was then she knew that Richard was truly evil. He had done this because he wanted her to suffer even more than she already was and didn't care how many others died. After a few minutes regaining her strength she snuck away. No one noticed everyone was more concerned with the more seriously injured.

She found a cheap hotel, luckily she had fallen asleep in her clothes so still had her credit card and phone. She knew Richard would find her soon but she needed to rest. Sleep did not come easy. She was on full alert. Richard would not stop until she was dead, nowhere was safe. She left as soon as she awoke and had washed the soot of herself. She quickly bought new clothes and stopped at a restaurant to eat. She spent the rest of the day traveling around New York not staying anywhere for very long. She couldn't keep doing this forever and no plane she boarded would be safe while Caviaro was still after her. The news reported the fire and announced two people had been killed, one elderly resident and one fire fighter, and several injured. After retrieving the infinity box and settling in a new hotel she received a text. I see you survived the fire Amanda, you can't keep avoiding me forever. I think it's time we settled this once and for all. Meet me in the old dock building near Spytech at 6PM tomorrow. She knew he was right, she couldn't avoid him forever. This had to end. No matter how.
