Olivia kept looking from the bar, to the door, finally to Lincoln sitting beside her, she had both her hands on her lap, every few seconds from looking from the bar to the door, her eyes would go over Lincoln's face playing with her fingers feeling awkward, picking her glass up, she took a sip before placing it back down, feeling the silence was getting heavier.

Lincoln sipping his light lemon-aid, kept watching the door, his eyes not leaving it, he didn't know what was going on. But he was going to put an end to it.
He for a second, glanced behind him to Olivia, before hearing the bar door open.
Nikole walking inside with a serious expression across her face, her all ready icy blue eyes were icier.
Coming up to the bar, she came to stand beside Lincoln. Who looked tight jawed.
"You think you can just call me up and arrange your own meets?" Lincoln asked her darkly.
Nikole's hand in the bar loudly. Turning to the side, looking over Lincoln. "Right, lets get something straight, I don't like you, you don't like me and I really don't care." Her voice was dry.

Olivia kept still, she felt like something was wrong, she didn't like Nikole's tone, or the fact that she didn't want to say anything, but kept thinking of her little girl, tied up, gagged, only company was L.J, her eyes looked over Nikole's face before standing beside Lincoln.

"Oh good, I'm glad we can agree on something." Lincoln said lightly, he wasn't taking this seriously.
"Michael's escaping Sona and he's taking Alex with him." Nikole kept her eyes focused on Lincoln, one hand still on the bar and the other to her side.
"Oh you think?" Lincoln asked her with a laugh, a mocking laugh, which made Nikole glare.

"No. I don't think Lincoln, I know."
"Oh!" Lincoln smiled, but a smile that was telling her something different. "Get lost Nikole." He looked to the bar door.
"Now you, you are going to tell me, exactly what's going on, you're involving me in your little plan."

"Do you two have to fight?" Olivia kept looking from Nikole to Lincoln, "because fighting, isn't doing anything." she finally glanced over her phone, "Plus Nando is in the room." her exhaled was quick, "He said he needs to talk with you Linc..."

Holding up his index finger to Olivia, he didn't look at her, he kept looking at Nikole with darkness around his eyes.
The two of them kept staring at each other, like ice against a Emerald fire. "You have nothing, you're desperate." Lincoln kept watching her.
"Nothing, huh? How about if you don't involve me. I wont have any trouble calling up Sona and blowing the escape plan." She looked serious.
"Go ahead, do it.. You have NO proof." Lincoln narrowed his eyes.
"Oh really?" Nikole stepped closer to Lincoln, she pushed him back slightly and Lincoln pushed her back.
"Yeah, really!" He snapped. "I don't wanna see you around anymore! Stay away from Olivia, Fernando and me." He glared.
"This isn't over." Nikole snapped, "I know things!" She looked at Olivia for the first time, before fixing her shirt, she left the bar.

Olivia watched her leaving the bar, she got up also, "I'll be talking to Nando..." she quickly left the bar, she walked out of the bar, she knew it wasn't too far from the hotel making her way, she didn't look back, kept heading into the hotel.

Getting to the room, she could see Fernando standing at the window, she made the small gap between the door and then window, her arms wrapping around him hugging on tight.

Bringing his arms around her, Fernando held Olivia close against him, his face resting between her neck and shoulder. "Hey, Mami are you okay?" He asked her, brushing his hand up her back.

"I am hating this too much," Her eyes looking up into his, "Nando, why does Linc have to be so mean to Nikole." Her voice light, her head resting on his chest trying to calm down, "Every time I try and tell him, I just don't think it's ever going to be the right time..."

"Oh Mami." Fernando's voice was soft and caring, his hand brushing up and down her back holding her against him, kissing the top of her head. "Soon it'll be over, soon it'll be the right time." He kept thinking about Lincoln and Nikole always at each other's throats.

"Yeah, just I just feel like I'm keeping a big secret, it's a ticking time bomb." her hands playing down his back, "I just don't know how long before it becomes harder to hide." She kept still against him for a moment.

"Hey, I'm here for you," his fingers brushed her hair softly, keeping her calm, "Michael's going to get Whistler out and everything will be okay, after that."

Pulling back Olivia looked into Fernando's eyes, "Why do I feel like there is something wrong..." her voice trailed off, "Nando, there is something you're not telling me, and any bet, it's about that escape attempt that was all over the news."

Keeping silent for a minute, Fernando kept thinking about it, "Michael..." He paused, "when I got to SONA, they ... They had him solitary."

Olivia bit her lip, she buried her face in Fernando's chest, she closed her eyes trying her best to keep herself calm. "This isn't good," her hands holding him tight, "Nando, Lincoln's going to freak when he finds out."

"I know, I know..." Fernando kept thinking, "It's a box... In the middle of nothing, covered in plastic..." He winced remembering Michael.

"Oh God," Olivia pulled her face from Fernando's chest, her eyes looking into his, for a second feeling lost, her tooth bit into her bottom lip before stepping back from him, "So, we're pretty much screwed."

"I... I, I dunno Mami, I really hope not, I hope Michael got some kind of plan up his sleeve." Fernando looked out the window of the hotel room.

Olivia stood behind him, her hands running up his chest as she rested against his back, "We'll if it makes it easier for you, I can tell him," she whispered softly listening to the door carefully.

"Si, that would be easier Mami." Fernando looked up, watching Lincoln coming back into the apartment with a look like his apple juice had been replaced with piss.

Olivia stepped away from Fernando, "Do you mind giving us a few minutes?" she asked Fernando calmly; she knew this was going to be hard.

"No problem." Fernando nodded, ducking out of the hotel room that seemed more like a mini apartment now. Lincoln looked at Fernando leaving before looking to Olivia.

"I've got some more bad news," Olivia slowly walked to Lincoln, she placed her hands on his chest, "Michael's in a box, in the middle of the yard, of Sona, being punished." she said it while watching his eyes.

"What...?" Lincoln said sharply, looking down at her, knowing it wasn't her fault; he tried to keep his calm, remembering to count to ten. "Being punished?" He looked around the room.

"Well, I don't know, but it's got to do with the prison break," Olivia kept touching his face, "We've got to try and do one thing." she kept looking into his eyes, "We've gotta figure a way to, fix this." she slowly moved close to him.

"I've been trying, to figure out a way, I've really, really been trying..." He exhaled another breath, he carefully brought his arms around her, and held her. Kind of to keep himself sane to bring himself back to Earth.

Nikole sitting on a patio outside a cafe, with an iced tea in a glass, kept looking over Lincoln's cell phone, finally flipping it over, she looked over his contacts seeing Susan B, pressing dial she brought the phone to her ear.

"Lincoln, you better not be wasting my time!" her voice snapped while trying to get herself cleaned up, she knew they were having a meeting, but didn't know why he would be calling her right now.

Listening to the female voice, Nikole sipped her iced tea before speaking, "I think you'll find, this isn't Lincoln." Her voice was serious. Switching from her left to her right ear.

"What do you want?" Gretchen snapped, she moved her phone to another ear, "I mean, the last time I heard of you, was from Kevin..." she smirked to herself, "He's not missing you."

Nikole laughed slightly, "Well that's good, because I'm not really missing him and his tiny cock either." She went serious. "And how are you Gretchen? How is the Johnny-boy?" She smirked to herself.

"Well, I would get into pleasant conversation," she kept looking to herself in the mirror, "But what are you doing with Lincoln Burrows phone?" her voice serious, "As I gave him that phone, so I can keep in contact with him." her voice low, it seemed like she wasn't have a good day.

"Well here's the thing." Nikole sat up in the chair she was sitting on, her fingers playing with the straw in her drink. "I've known Lincoln for quite a while, I also know he rarely does what he's told..." She paused, "And I'm also pretty good friends with Fernando and Olivia too... Good enough friends that since arriving in Panama I've been spending most of my days with them. But the problem is... Lincoln, doesn't seem to trust me and you seem like you don't trust Lincoln, so I think for old time sake, I could be of some use. "

Gretchen kept silent for a long while, it was weighting up the pros and cons, the fact most of them seemed to not stick with Gretchen, "Just one thing," she kept looking to her watch, "I have a meeting with Lincoln in an hour and a half, so I need him to have his phone." she kept looking over herself, "I'll have to talk to the boss, but then you know I'm not the lead in this, so I can't get you anything." she finally exhaled, "also, is Mahone really worth it?"

Letting go of the straw she was playing with, she stood up, switching ears again, looking around the Panama street, letting out a breathless laugh, "Yeah." She nodded to herself, "Yeah he is, Gretchen. I'll get this phone back to its thick skulled owner." She started up the street toward the hotel.

"Well, then you can give me a phone number Nikole." Her hand playing down her chest, "I mean, we've got a lot to catch up on..." her voice smooth thinking about Nikole.

"You know, I like this how we just click." She laughed before giving Gretchen her own cell phone number. "Syotos." She said before pressing end on Lincoln's dinky looking phone, walking into the hotel complex.
Heading up the stairs toward the hotel.

Olivia kept looking to the shower where Lincoln was, she'd gotten changed, wearing a soft pastel dress her hair up in a ponytail, the plum had faded, her hair not grown much, but she knew that she was missing her blonde hair, her eyes kept focused on the shower, thinking of Lincoln on the other side of the door, shaking it off.

Knocking on the hotel room door, Nikole waited on the other side, looking around the hallway, rubbing her palm under her eye.

Olivia opened the door looking to Nikole, "what bring you here, plan on yelling with Lincoln, he's in the shower." she glanced over her watch, "He might be masturbating, who knows..."
"Yeah, lovely..." Nikole made a face showing she didn't want to think about Lincoln choking the chicken. "No, actually I came to return this." She held his cell phone in the palm of her hand out toward Olivia.

"You took this," Olivia glanced from the phone to Nikole, "He's going to flip if he didn't get this back, we've got enough problems..." she glanced to it ringing, "Hello," her voice calm.

"Livia, hey it's Michael..." he spoke softly, "Can you tell me, when and where you're meeting Susan B...?"

Olivia kept still, she played with her arm lightly, "Michael what is there about?" she asked turning to the bathroom still hearing the shower.

"I just need to know," Michael kept his voice calm, but didn't want to give away too much.

Olivia now telling him, she kept looking to Nikole, "Michael, you know, I'm..."

"Not now Olivia, just, tell Susan when you see her, everything is going to plan." he said before hanging up.

"I didn't take it, I borrowed it - without asking, anyways..." Nikole stopped hearing the shower turning off. "I should." She pointed behind herself quickly. "Get going..."

Olivia watched as Nikole left the room, she kept looking from the phone, to the door, finally to the bathroom, she opened the door looking to Lincoln, "I just have the weirdest phone call, after Nikole returned your phone..."

Lincoln froze while pulling his shirt on. "I knew that bitch took my phone!" He snapped darkly, "Wait, what call?" He looked over her.

Olivia took in the view of his chest before a long sleeved blue shirt covered it, she sighed, "Michael called, he wanted to know the meeting with Susan," her voice calming, but she didn't understand, "Plus, you sure this thing with Nando going to work?"

"I have no choice but to believe what Fernando and I are trying to do is going to work." He pointed out balancing carefully while pulling fresh black socks onto his feet. Looking at the time on his phone that he took to put back into his pocket, "Meeting that it's time to go to." He looked at himself in the mirror.

"First you've got a little show in the lobby in," she glanced over her watch, "Ten minutes," her voice was even as she kept thinking. "Your meeting with Susan B, our, meeting with her, is in just under an hour." she kept watching Lincoln, "But, yeah, I just need to hope for this plan of yours to work."

"Thanks, I hope so too..." He paused for a moment, looking her over, he lent in kissing the top of her head before turning and leaving the washroom to put his shoes on.

Olivia walked out of the washroom, she looked to Lincoln putting his shoes on, for a moment she watched him, quickly she held Lincoln's face kissing him, holding on before letting go, "Good luck."

Meeting each other in the hallway of the lobby, Lincoln saw Fernando. "Hey bro." Fernando said while they stopped face-to-face.
"I can't quit my job at SONA, Linc." Fernando said straight up.
Lincoln kept watching him, looking blank for a moment. "Surce..." He said casually.
"I gotta provide for Maricruz and my kid! Unless you can... Spare a few bucks?" He asked.
Lincoln scoffed, "You want me to start paying you for our friendship now?" He looked pissed.
"I need to..." Fernando was cut off by Lincoln.
"No man, no... I'm not gonna, pay you." Lincoln said sharply.
"Well, I ... I can't help you out..." Fernando said brushing passed Lincoln.

Olivia kept looking to the jacket for Lincoln on the bed; she kept looking to the door waiting for him to come back, she kept thinking about the meeting in forty minute, her eyes going over her watch. "He should be here by now." she whispered to herself, did she make a move too quickly.

The hotel door open again and Lincoln walked into the apartment, exhaling, brushing a hand over his head. ",'Livia, you in?" He looked around the emptiness before seeing her in the bedroom. "Oh, hey." He smiled while putting his key card back into his pocket.

Olivia quickly rushed into his arms hugging him, "Hey," she exhaled, "Sorry, just," she stepped back from him, "I got you a jacket." she pointed to the bed, slowly turning around to face him again. "I'm just happy, we're, well, we're in this together."

"We are that, in this together." He nodded while remembering her kissing him before he'd left for his show with Fernando.
He brought his hands to rest on her sides, carefully looking into her eyes before closing his own, bringing his lips down to kiss her, lightly and meaningfully.

Olivia closed her eyes, she brushed her hands around him, holding herself against him, she missed the feeling, her eyes closed taking the kiss in, it was still the same feeling. Pulling away she glanced up into his eyes, "Hey, guess I'm stuck with you then."

"I wouldn't want it any other way, thanks for the jacket." He pointed out, carefully letting her go and brushing past, picking up the jacket and pulling it on, fixing the collar and brushing it down. "How do I look?" He held his arms out with a smile.

"Like someone from Scarface..." she simply replied while brushing her hands down her stomach, "but there is something we'll need to talk about." her voice serious, "Tonight, we can get something to eat, and I can tell you something I need to tell you."

His eyebrows pulling together, Lincoln looked worried for a minute, before nodding, "Yeah, sounds like a plan." He held his hand out toward her. "Wanna go for a walk before we've gotta meet Susan?" He wanted to get out of the apartment.

"Walk will be good, walk, I need the air," she moved her hand to find his, she took it carefully before looking into his eyes, "I'm sorry about the crazy, crazy accusations..." she kept looking to the floor, "It's just, she reminds me of the Hoe that Ryan left me for..."

"You don't have to worry, I'm not Ryan and I wouldn't leave you for a hoe." He paused, "That came out wrong, I wouldn't leave you for anyone." He nodded, bringing her to look at him again; he gave her a light kiss.

Gretchen kept looking to Nikole at the bar, the fact the woman wasn't what she remembered, so she lightly kept focused on her, "you like to make an entrance..." her voice smooth while looking her up and down, thing with Gretchen, she was like an animal, she loved all forms, no caring the gender.

Nikole was smirking, looking over Gretchen. "Mama always said, the entrance is key." She cocked her head to the side, "Glad you stopped bleaching your hair, blonde so wasn't ever your colour." She pointed out nodding.

Pulling a piece of dark brown hair to her face, she laughed, "Well, I went back to what Nature gave me," she cocked her head to the bar, "Got you a present from the states." she placed a medical bottle of Prozac down in front of her, "A long week it's been without these."

Picking up the bottle, Nikole examined it, her thumb brushing against the off brown clear plastic. "Awh, thanks Gretchen." She pushed the top down and twisted it off, looking over the white and green pills inside. "It's only need a week?" She looked grim, before taking out one of the pills. She placed out.

"I've had a talk with the general," Gretchen kept watching, "He was pleased on how the death of Bill Kim wasn't lead back to him, or the Company." she kept her voice smooth, "I didn't know you was doing Company work, if I'd known sooner, you'd been on my side, sooner." she kept smirking, "but the new conditions will be that Mahone is on the escape, or I'll just kill one of the kids," she leant towards Nikole, "what one should it be?"

Playing with the medical bottle between her fingers, Nikole brought it to rest against her lips like she was thinking about it, before side glancing Gretchen. "The girl, everyone seems to forget the girl, maybe they won't when they realize her life is just as much at stake." Her eyes looked into Gretchen's. "And what can I say? I like to keep my Company work under wraps. Less chance of failure." She looked to the clock.

"Well, then I can assume, your 'friendship' with Olivia isn't really so friendly on your side." Gretchen licked her lips before picking up her cocktail taking a sip, "I have to admit, reading her prison record file, was a treat," she inhaled, "I mean, what she did to a female inmate, when they tried to have her in general population, why I do not know..."

"Did you get to the part where she tried to commit Suicide before Burrows was suppose to get executed? Now that... That was... Interesting." Nikole could feel her brain regrouping itself into the neat columns it was once in, knowing it would take a few days to get the complete pill effect. "Eh, it's not that I don't like her, but when it comes down to a... You and your life or me and mine... I gotta pick mine, I'm such a Selfish Doctor." Nikole pointed out.
Hearing the bar door open...

Olivia walked into the bar with Lincoln her eyes going from Nikole and Susan, "Oh, this is just." Her eyes avoiding Lincoln's feeling the 'I told you so' coming on, she didn't want to hear it.

Susan glared to Lincoln and Olivia, "Hurry up," she kept looking to her drink.

"Michael said," Olivia started avoiding looking at Nikole, "He said everything is going to plan..."

Lincoln kept staring from Susan to Nikole, he couldn't believe his, he looked at Olivia before holding his tongue, looking back to Susan, "No surprises, everything according to plan." He nodded.
Nikole looking forward, played with the lemon wedge on the side of her ice water.

A group of police walked into the bar now, they walked over, "Gretchen Morgan?" they asked her quickly.

Olivia looked confused, Gretchen's eyes focused; "Yes..." her tone confused.

"You're under arrest." One of the officers's cuffed her walking her away from the bar.

Olivia was biting her lip feeling scared; she glanced to Lincoln now wondering if this was her fault.

"I didn't do this! I didn't DO! This!" Lincoln said loudly, looking confused and worried, seeing the officers escorting her away in handcuffs. He looked to Olivia with a 'what do we do?' expression before his eyes narrowed seeing Nikole paying for her lemon water.

"I, well, I, We," Olivia kept thinking of more things to say, but felt lost, "we can have sex..." she shrugged her shoulders, not completely serious, but it was the only thing that came out of her mouth.

Eyebrows knitting together, Lincoln kept staring down at Olivia like she had lost it completely. "As much fun as that would be... I don't think it's the BEST time." He pointed out.

Olivia played with her hands, "Well, we've gotta, well," she ignored Nikole, she felt sick, but then it was rare for her not to feel sick, "We've got to go and figure out what is going on." she started to leave the bar.

Lincoln turned looking at Nikole, unable to find words to describe exactly what he felt right now. He started shaking his head.
"Be seenin' you Lincoln." Nikole looked at him, before turning and exiting the bar from a different door.
Lincoln caught up with Olivia. "Fuck, this got more difficult." He exhaled.
