Mike had an intel agent track Sarahs' cell phone, according to the phone, Sarah was still at the house; he just hoped that with another 5 minutes, she would still be at the house with Grace safe and sound.

Ryan watched as Mike drummed his thumbs against the steering wheel as he drove; he could tell that Mike was stressed and fearful for what could be lurking at the house.

The 5 minute drive felt like another 30 as Mike pulled next to the driveway before he jumped out of the driver seat and rushed inside the house.

"SARAH!" he yelled out.

"I'm here." Sarah said, turning around to face the startled Mike who rushed into the house.

Ryan followed suit, almost out of breath as he stood behind Mike, who looked down to see Grace to see that he had startled his daughter.

He pulled Grace by her arm and handed her off to Ryan "Get her out of here." He said before approaching Sarah.

Sarah backed herself into the counter as Mike did "Why didn't you tell me about the letter!?"

"It was for the best!" Sarah retorted.

Mike shook his head "Best for what? Me? Trying to protect me? Sarah, that is my job, to find notes from Joe Carroll! You cannot protect me from me job!" Mike yelled at her.

"I WASN'T PROTECTING YOU! I WAS PROTECTING GRACE!" Sarah yelled in his face.

"PROTECTING HER FROM WHAT, SARAH!? HUH!? WHAT?" Mike yelled back at her.

"I WAS PROTECTING HER FROM YOU!" Sarah yelled, huffing as she stared Mike down.

Mike took a step back, he honestly wasn't expecting that answer; tears threatened to spill from her eyes "You're slowly morphing into the great Ryan Hardy, you're starting to lose focus of the task at hand…" she said gently.

He licked his lips "Sarah, you don't do that again." He whispered to her.

Sarah huffed "You don't have to worry about me anymore." She said, walking past Mike.

He grabbed her arm "What does that mean?" he asked her.

"It's means I'm leaving." Sarah said, jerking her arm back.

"You can't leave!" Mike told her.

Sarah glared at him "I'm bad news, Mike. Ever since I got out, shit has been happening! Emma Hill breaks out of prison, and then shows up not two days later in your house…Joe Carroll leaving notes on the door…Michael, I'm leaving. She's not safe with me."

Mike shook his head "I can't allow that!" he snarled.

"Why not!?" she hissed in his face.

"Because…" he trailed off, was he really going to say these words to her? "Because I love you!" he said, his voice raised.

Sarah was in shock, pulling her arm away from Mike "You what?" she asked softly.

"I love you." He said in a calmer tone.

Sarah shook her head "Michael…I have to go." She said, grabbing her purse off the counter and leaving the house.

"Sarah!" he called out to her, rushing to the door to go after her from the corner of my eye he saw two people standing against the wall in the hallway.

Mike turned to see Ryan and Grace, standing there with raw emotion plastered on both of their faces; he looked down at Grace to see her crying, he looked back at the door but quickly shifted his focus back to Grace.

"Oh, honey." He murmured, picking her up and holding her close "It's okay." He comforted her.

Mike looked Ryan square in the eye, knowing exactly what his look meant, but he didn't care; the damage was done. Sarah bailed and Grace was in tears, he wasn't sure how he was going to fix this, but he knew that he had to.

He knew that with Sarah out in the open, she was ripe for picking by Joe Carroll; and he had to get to her before Joe did, but he needed a moment to compose himself.

Sarah bottled up her emotions as she drove down the street, trying to figure out where she was going to go after the incident back at the house.

She occasionally looked back at her rear view mirror to constantly see the black SUV that was following her; she huffed as she shook her head "Fucking FBI." She muttered to herself.

Mikes' confession of how he still loved her startled Sarah to her core; she honestly couldn't understand how after everything he could still love her, even though she herself loved him back.

Sarah knew that it wouldn't be best if they did get back together, she knew it wouldn't look good for Mike to get back together with his ex-Carroll groupie and she knew that as long Joe was alive, they would never live in peace.

She stopped at the red light, the SUV now next to her instead of behind her when she gently turned to see the two agents inside glaring at her behind their aviator sun glasses.

Sarah sighed, looking straight ahead again as she waited for the light to turn green; now contemplating again of where she would go.

"Maybe back to Maine?" she thought to herself.

"Yeah, but then you'd have to turn around…plus Joe would be on your tail…or Emma…either way, it's not a good idea to go." Her subconscious reiterated.

Sarah turned right, not wanting to wait for the light any longer, but wondering if the FBI would abruptly follow her; and they did as she turned onto a busy street, heading towards the mall.

She was losing interest in her tail "Let them follow me. Where am I going to go?" she thought to herself as she continued to drive down the busy street; hoping she could find somewhere to stop and give her mind a rest.

Her cell phone began to ring in her purse, she paid it no mind seeing as how it was probably Mike asking her to come back to the house; in fact, she wondered why he had come home in a rush? Sarah knew Mike wouldn't just come home to confront her about the note.

Sarah turned to her purse "Oh, no." she muttered.
