Back at the safehouse with Alex, Birkhoff, and Michael.
Alex:
Okay so Amanda faked her death to have her work independently for her. Maybe help build up her army. Or maybe she was a cleaner and Percy was in on it.
Birkhoff:
Not Rowena. That was another strange thing with them. Before Percy recruited her, what we saw on this girl was a conniving, ruthless, 17 year old girl in foster care. But the Rowena he brought into Division, was different. It was almost like we picked up the wrong kid.
Alex:
How so?
Michael:
She wasn't a killer.
Birkhoff:
She was very smart and a fast learner.
Michael:
But definitely not a killer. Out of self defense maybe. But cold blooded, even revenge- no.
Birkhoff:
It just seemed out of her nature.
Michael:
A few months into the program. I was in Percy's office discussing whether or not Rowena should be canceled. He called Amanda in for her input. She said she had just spoken with Rowena. Found out that after the fire-that led to us recruiting her- she panicked. Wanted to be certain she was safe. Amanda pointed out to us that Rowena had impressive skills in locating people as well as profiling people's behavior. She suggested we use her as a tracker rather than an agent. Percy agreed.
Alex:
But you said Amanda put her into hiding after a failed assignment?
Birkhoff:
Not failed. Just bad.
Michael:
The assignment was a man named Chance Reynolds. He had ties to an underground company producing nuclear power weapons. He had a habit meeting up with women at some run down place in Manhattan. But he was very specific in the women he chose. Rowena fit that profile perfectly without having to try. Percy assigned her to him with 4 hours to prepare and no backup.
Alex:
A suicide mission.
Michael:
Actually no. Reynolds' security was too thick to try and infiltrate. The bar was too small. One random girl would go by them just fine, any more people and they would know. Percy kept Amanda out of the loop on the whole thing. Amanda came to me looking for Rowena several hours later. I told her. She left. When she came back we found out that after Rowena completed the assignment on Reynolds she ran into three of his men, that had gone under our radar completely. They broke both of her legs and she still managed to kill all three of them before Amanda showed up.
Alex:
Sure Amanda didn't kill them?
Birkhoff:
Roan noticed that the angles of the shots had to of come from Rowena.
