Helena glared at Ada, her blood boiling as she stared at the other woman. She still hadn't forgiven Ada for shooting her sister, no matter how necessary it may have been at the time.

"I'll have to say, you and Leon don't seem like kid people." Ada says, putting a hand on Aliya's shoulder, making her flinch. Aliya was just now realizing that opening the door and letting Ada in was a terrible idea.

"Get out of my house." Helena says sternly, looking at Aliya briefly. She was concerned for the pre-teen, who could sense Helena's anger and started to become frightened.

"What? You don't think I'd hurt a child, do you?"

"Aliya, go to your room."

Aliya didn't have to be told twice, brushing Ada's hand off her shoulder as she ran up the stairs to her bedroom, slamming and locking the door.

"Cute kid. She doesn't talk much though." Ada says, starting to walk around the kitchen, her heels echoing on the floor.

Helena finally pulled her gun out finally and pointed it at Ada, prepared to shoot if the other woman tried anything.

"Why are you here?"

"Let's just say that my employers also want information on this child. Information that I have right here." Ada says, holding up a USB drive and waving it around, "I was also hoping that Leon would be here. I kind of missed him."

"Well, he doesn't want to see you!" She spat, glaring at Ada.

"Oh? Then why'd he tells me where you were?"

Helena didn't say anything. She was not going to take this bait, knowing that Ada would say anything to get a rise out of her. However, part of her was also wondering if the woman was telling the truth.

"He's not stupid."

"Even if he didn't tell me where you were, you're not very hard to track down."

"I won't tell you again. Get out."

Ada chuckled, placing the USB drive on the table, and finally walking past her.

"Alright, tell Leon I said hi, will you?"

Helena sighed as Ada left, making a mental note to yell at Chris and Jill for letting Ada get past them. Helena didn't look up as she heard Aliya come down the stairs and back into the kitchen.

"We told you not to answer the door when we aren't here." She says quietly, not looking over at Aliya.

"I know but I thought it would be okay. She says that she knows Leon. Who is she?"

Helena looked at her, "do you not realize what's at stake if you're found? You will continue to be experimented on!" Helena says, finally looking at Aliya, raising her voice slightly

"I know that I just thought it would be okay and that I didn't have to listen to that stupid rule since she said she knew Leon."

"Stupid rule? This rule is in place to keep you safe!"

Now it was Aliya's turn to get angry.

"If I was your actual kid, would I still have to follow these stupid rules!?"

"My own kid wouldn't be a freakshow science experiment!" She snaps, regretting the words as soon as they had left her mouth.

Aliya looked at Helena as though she was a kicked puppy, tears glistening in her eyes. She knew that Helena was right, but that didn't make the words hurt any less. Aliya turned and ran up the stairs, going into her room and slamming the door again. Helena yelled in frustration, grabbing a glass vase on the island, and throwing it at the wall, causing it to shatter into a million pieces. This was quite possibly the hardest mission for her to take on.

Helena tried to go up and apologize to her throughout the day, only to be met with complete silence. Aliya wouldn't even come down for dinner when it was ready, and Helena resorted to leaving it outside the girl's bedroom door. Helena sighed, opting to finally start picking up the pieces of broken glass on the ground and that's what she had been doing when Leon entered. Helena hadn't noticed his presence at first.

"What happened here?"

"Just an argument with Aliya." She says bluntly, barely looking at him. Leon went over to the table, seeing the red USB drive.

"What's this?"

"Not sure. Ada dropped it off."

Leon froze at the mention of Ada, wondering how she even knew where they were.

"Okay, uh how did she get past Chris and Jill? How did she know we were here?"

Helena threw her hands up in frustration, finally throwing the pieces of broken glass away.

"You tell me. She said that you told her we were here."

"You really think I would compromise us like that?"

Helena crossed her arms, "that's what she said."

"And you believe her?"

Helena scoffed, "I don't know what to believe. You also told me that you guys were done but was that even true?"

"Yes, Helena, it is. The fact that you even think I would compromise this mission is insulting." He says, raising his voice. Helena knew that he was telling the truth, she was just so angry about earlier that she didn't want to admit it.

"A lot is at stake if they find her! The fact that Ada even knows about her is not good because that means more people probably know about her. Oh, she also says hi by the way and wants you to contact her."

Helena started to walk away, having said what she needed to say and officially done with the conversation. Leon just followed her, grabbing her arm once he caught up.

"Leon let go! You're hurting me!"

Leon pushed her against the wall and for a minute, Helena was scared as he pressed his body against hers.

"Do you want to know why I called things off with Ada?"

"I already know! You were tired of_"

Leon cut her off, pressing his lips to hers.
