'I can't waste time to ease you into his so let me be frank, your ex fiancé is one Audrey Bidwell yes?'

'What? Sir I don't think that's-

'Yes or no Agent Ressler? Because if you say yes. I will take it as your immediate resignation given that this ex fiancé of yours is actually a foreign national who is endeavouring to wreak havoc on this countries financial system and with whom you have been in contact with'

Ressler looked like a man who had been hit with a wrecking ball and he went to stand in front of Liz but she didn't intimidate easily especially not from him.

She looked him square in the face while he spoke to Cooper.

'Let me guess where this little spark came from, I will attest that this is nothing more than a viscous rumour Sir supplied by a ruined agen-

'Agent Ressler, I am the Director here and I make the decisions so when I hear about a possible security situation, I will make damn sure it is grounded in solid facts and figures before I make such decisions and I have those'

As if to emphasise his point the slapped the file down on the table which opened on a picture of Audrey but not the Audrey Ressler knew, this was the face of Audrey Krichkow from Iraq.

His face fell when he saw it and Liz knew as an expert profiler he had recognised all the subtle facial differences to know it was her. They didn't fool him and he saw his Audrey in the picture.

'I don't understand how..how…?'

'Agent Ressler you understand, I can't allow you to work as an Agent given the circumstances until we know what this woman is up to, we will have to assume you have supplied her with valuable information even if you may or may not have been aware of it'

Ressler shook as he retrieved the file from the desk and began to read.

'We were engaged for two years and I never…'

Liz had to keep herself from belting out a 'Karma is a bitch' routine but she felt it must be hard, just as it had been when she read about Tom's involvement with Gina Zanetakos.

'It says she's after trading secrets? Does she like to stalk out Donald Trump too'

In his anger he threw the file onto the desk and sat back but he shot back up catching Cooper and Liz's attention.

'It all makes sense now, the questions about technological advancements, the bankers getting jailed for embezzling and…

'What.. what is it Agent Ressler did she mention anything recently?'

'Ya we had lunch and she asked about some new gadget, the billboard on 23rd street with the guy'

'I need to know what she was asking about Ressler?'

Liz watched as Ressler struggled to remember the events of just a few hours ago…she thought of Red's quip if he were here.

'It was some spy ware on a usb'

'Thank you, you may leave as soon as you have read that and I will be in contact about your severance pay'

'Sir please I-

'Ressler not now'

Ressler sat back down in defeat at Coopers demanding tone but he still managed a glare at Liz as they made their way downstairs.
