It was awkward between Steve and Claudia as they stood in the office; Steve felt violated and Claudia was embarrassed despite the fact that she was under the influence of an artifact that Harper put into place.
Myka and Artie were going back and forth at the dark storm cloud that was forming around the warehouse, trying to figure out what was going on but both were going blank.
Harper held onto Steves' leg for dear life as panic began to ensue the office, her tiny fingers gripping the denim fabric of his jeans as she felt everything all at once.
Claudia huffed "Okay, okay. Everybody just calm down! This isn't the first time we've had a creepy scary storm cloud take over the warehouse." She proclaimed.
"Do you have any idea why that's there, Claudia, do you?" Myka asked, pointing out the window as another bolt of lightening hit a shelf.
Harper, frightened by the lightening, let go of her father and rushed into the back bedroom, hiding from all windows leading out into the warehouse.
Claudia shook her head "No. What could it be this time? I mean there isn't anything jammed in the expander, all the artifacts are right where we left them…" she trailed off.
Steve looked at Claudia "Claude?" he asked, she was stuck in a train of thought.
Pete, who had been on the balcony looking through the periscope, came back into the office "This doesn't look good guys, and I'm getting a vibe." He proclaimed.
Myka nodded "Okay, well…maybe the warehouse is trying to talk to us…or one of us." She said.
Claudia hummed "Maybe, I mean usually it's trying to get our attention; but if it is now, why?"
The office went silent for a moment as Steve looked around "Where's Harper?" he finally asked.
The agents looked around the office; Claudia groaned "No! This is not the time to lose her!" she complained, beginning to look around the office.
Trai barked from the bedroom, catching the agents attention as both Steve and Claudia entered the bedroom, calling out Harpers' name until they saw the dog trying to dig under the bed.
Steve kneeled down, looking under the bed to find Harper "What are you doing?" he asked.
"You can't hear it?" she asked.
"Hear what?" Steve asked.
Harper swallowed hard "The screaming."
"What screaming?" Steve asked again.
"…every time the lightening comes, I hear screaming." Harper said.
Steve looked back up at Claudia, who nodded "I'm on it." She said, walking back into the office as he layed his head down to see Harper.
"Honey, come out from under the bed." Steve asked.
Harper shook her head, Trai barked again; almost protesting Harpers' resistance to coming out from under the bed.
Steve sighed "Sweetie, everything is going to be find." He told her.
"You promise?" she asked.
Steve nodded "Yeah, I promise." He said, extending his hand out to reach his daughter.
Harper took his hand, crawling out from under the bed when another bold of lightening shook the warehouse, the toddler covered her ears as Steve picked her up and went back into the office.
"Oh, no." Claudia said, turning back from the computer.
"What? What is it?" Artie asked.
Claudia sighed "There's been a breach, the screaming that Harper is hearing with the lightening, it's an alarm…" she said.
"A breach?" Artie asked.
Claudia nodded, swinging back towards the computer "Yes. But the warehouse is having a hard time finding the guy." She said, tapping away at the computer.
Steve huffed "How it that possible?" he asked.
Claudia shrugged "I don't know, I'm trying to figure it out." She proclaimed.
Harper held onto her father for dear life as another bold of lightening hit another shelf, Claudia sighed "But the lightening is hitting shelves that the perp is near…" she remarked.
More alarms began to go off with every passing moment, Claudia was having enough of these games as she advanced the heat seeking camera to find a figure running through the isles.
"GOT HIM!" Claudia announced.
Myka and Pete hovered around Claudia and the computer, watching the perp move around the warehouse, missing every strike of lightening as they did.
Pete groaned "What are we going to do? I mean, we can't go out there, the lightening might get us, but we can't stay here and wait around." He said.
Claudia thought for a moment, gently tapping the keys on the keyboard before turning to Pete "We might just have to risk it." She said.
"You want us to go out there and find him? No! I chose life!" Pete remarked.
Claudia huffed "Pete! We don't have a lot of options!" she argued.
Harper was beginning to squirm in Steves' arms before he finally put her down, something had gotten into her as she rushed to the table, grabbing Claudias' Tesla and ran out of the office and into the warehouse.
"HARPER!" Claudia screamed, following her with Steve not to close behind.
"Harper Lillian! Stop!" Steve yelled as the toddler was approaching the staircase.
Claudia caught her breathe "Harper you cannot go down there, it's too dangerous!"
"Well somebody has to do this, and since everybody else is too scared!" Harper protested.
Steve shook his head "No, Harp, we have to do this." He told her.
Harper pouted, Steve shook his head again in disagreement "That's not going to work on me, missy."
Claudia walked up to Harper, gently taking the Tesla out of her hand "Daddy and I are going to do this, okay, jelly bean?" she remarked.
Harper nodded "Okay."
"Okay." Claudia said, agreeing as she took Harpers' hand and escorted her back into the office.
Claudia looked at Pete "Pete, take Harper back to the Bed and Breakfast." She said, handing Harper off to Pete who didn't ask any questions as he swiftly went out the front entrance.
Steve prepared his Tesla and he looked at Claudia "Are you ready?" he asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She remarked.
"Be careful." Myka said before Claudia and Steve quickly made their way down into the warehouse.
