Chapter 9: Are We Safe?

-Unnamed Agent-

The agent smiled when Gabriel and Riley arrested James. What he didn't expect was that the agents didn't call the local police. Now it was up to him to finish what James couldn't do. And if it worked, he would also be rich. Getting online, the agent booked both a flight to Virginia and a hotel. This wasn't going to be easy, but the agent loved a little challenge. Packing his bags, the agent left for Virginia.

After 8 hours of flying, the agent walked out of the airport in Virginia. At the hotel, the agent got to work on his project. He hoped it would work. It had to work if he wanted to disappear. Now, where did I put the C4...

Jessie woke up, but what woke her again. Still groggy, Jessie moved her head and found herself face to face with a red light counting down to zero. and by the looks of it, Jessie only had 34 hours till something happened.

"Gab," Jessie called.

"Wha...?" Gabriel answered.

"Get you ass in here," Jessie said. "And fast."

"Coming," Gabriel's groggy voice came.

Getting up, Gabriel stumbled into his bedroom where Jessie was still laying. Gabriel's eyes fell onto the red numbers slightly above Jessie's head. Not sure what to do Gabriel moved into Jessie's view and looked at her.

"What the hell is going on, Jessie?" Gabriel asked.

" I think I'm laying on a bomb, Gab," Jessie replied. "You need to either get out of here or do something."

"I'll call the bomb squad. In the mean time, I'm staying here with you," Gabriel said. "And I'm calling Riley."

20 minutes later, Riley and Olive were in Gabriel's apartment. Olive was in Gabriel's room talking to Jessie and trying to keep her calm. Gabriel called the bomb squad right before Riley and Olive arrived. Gabriel and Riley sat at the counter waiting and talking about how to disable the bomb. Gabriel checked for a way in using the chip with out success. Sensing Gabriel's uneasiness, Riley clasped one of her hands with one of Gabriel's hands.

"How are you holding up?" Riley asked.

"I don't know. I just can't believe this would happen to Jessie," Gabriel replied.

"It would have been worse if it was you, Gabriel. But I know that we'll catch the bastard who did this to her," Riley commented.

"I should be talking with the bastard James right now," Gabriel said.

"No, you should be here for Jessie. I can see she looks up to you and I think she would rather like it if you were here. Besides, Jameson is interrogating with that bastard," Riley soothingly said.

Riley jumped slightly when her phone rang. Riley got up and moved into the other room to take the call, leaving Gabriel to his thought's. Are we even safe? Gabriel thought as Riley drifted back towards him.

"That was Jameson. Apparently, James did what he did so his employer wouldn't kill Jessie. And he knows who the guy might be," Riley summed up.

"Who's the guy?" Gabriel asked.

"It's one of our own people. James identified the agent as Agent Scott Mac," Riley said. "They arrested him half an hour ago and he's talking. But he won't give up how to disable the bomb."

"I don't know what to do anymore," Gabriel said. Gabriel put his head in his hands. Riley could tell by the shaking that Gabriel was crying.

Putting her arms around Gabriel, Riley said, "We'll figure something out. And when we do..."

Holding Gabriel close to her, Riley felt the tears star flowing. Riley didn't know what to do, but it felt better to cry. Riley felt a hand on her shoulder, but she did nothing to move away.

"They're here, Riley," Olive whispered to Riley. "I'll let you guy's know when the bomb is disabled."

Olive walked away to the bedroom and sat in front of Jessie. "Are you all right?" Olive asked.

"I'll be fine once I'm out of this hellhole," Jessie replied. "And you?"

"I still feel like crap after what happened in London, otherwise, I still feel like crap," Olive said.

"Oh, ha ha. At least your not on a ticking time bomb. And I don't know how close they are to disabling it," Jessie said.

"Dude, they just got here."

"Yeah, so? Don't answer that."

"That's all you got?"

"Yes, hey you," Jessie said, pointing at one of the bomb squad guys.

"What is it?" He asked.

"When can I get off this?" Jessie asked.

"Soon. Just hang in there a little longer," replied the bomb squad guy.

"Just hurry up," Jessie commented.

"It's after 3 in the evening!" Jessie said.

"Just eat up, women," Olive shot back as they ate.

"And you expect me to eat this...What is this?" Jessie asked.

"Jessie!"

"Crap! Your covering my ass, Olive," Jessie commented as she ducked under the table.

Gabriel walked in with a puzzled look on his face. Gabriel looked at Olive and she pointed down.

"And you had to do that?" Jessie said teasingly.

"Jessie!" Gabriel said.

"Good god, Gab. Get a girlfriend," Jessie shoot at him.

"Do I need one?"

"Hell, yes!"

"Look, I've got to get going or Riley's going to skin me alive," Olive said.

"Looks like I'm going to have to visit you soon," Jessie replied.

Watching Olive leave, Jessie sat back in the chair she sat in. Gabriel sat down in the chair opposite of her with a bowl of pasta. Jessie was glad that the bomb was disabled in time. Finally looking at Gabriel, Jessie was happy for the first time in a long time.
