Later that afternoon while Halima was taking a nap, Maggie slipped out to get their things from the JOC. She'd taken the keys to the SUV and driven back to the parking garage. She parked in their assigned spot before walking through the lobby to get to the elevator.

When she got to the JOC she walked over to her desk and packed up everything she needed to take with her. She turned and did the same with OA's things. She smiled when she saw Tiff and Scola approaching.

"Hey, Maggie. How's OA doing?"

"He's definitely got a lot to process as of yet, but he's okay. I won't let him keep it in. Although, it's going to be difficult to get him to leave her in the hospital overnight."

"That's understandable. They'll get through this," Scola replied.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's still beating himself up over not being there to stop it."

"Sounds like OA," Tiff added.

"Yeah, is Mitchell still in holding? I just have something I need to say to him," Maggie asked.

"He's still in interrogation, look, we'll let you talk to him, but we're coming with you," Scola said quietly and the three slipped out of the bullpen and down the hallway to the interrogation room. Jubal noticed them and while he knew it wasn't the best idea, he didn't interfere. He knew Tiff and Scola would keep Maggie out of trouble if necessary.

When they got to the room where Mitchell was being held, Maggie pushed the door open; Tiff and Scola flanked her, "I just wanted to tell you that the woman you attacked this morning was a US citizen. She is also the mother of an Army Ranger turned FBI agent. So when you want someone to blame for your situation, look in the mirror. You and your cousin may have gotten away with this for a while if you hadn't targeted her. You can defend yourself all you want, but when it comes down to it, you were the ones doing the terrorizing. You were the problem," Maggie ranted before turning on her heel and walking back toward the bullpen. She walked passed Jubal and he nodded at her. She stopped.

"If you have to write me up for breaking protocol, I get it, She started, not making eye contact with him, "But he needed to hear that and I needed to say it. The tape will show that I didn't touch or threaten him."

"Maggie, I saw you all disappear down the hall, if I wanted to stop you, I would have. I knew those two would keep you from doing something stupid," Jubal replied before walking away. Maggie nodded at him before continuing back to their desks. She grabbed all of their bags and walked to the elevator. She rode it straight down to the parking garage and put everything into the back seat of his truck before getting in to drive back to the hospital.

When she got back to the hospital she found OA pacing outside. She could see how upset he was, she approached him from his line of sight and pulled him into a hug.

"She's going to be fine," Maggie says softly looking up at him.

"I know, but she didn't deserve this, and I wasn't there to protect her," OA replied as he wrapped his arms around her.

"First, no one deserves this, and we know that. That's why we choose to do our job every day. Second, Omar you can't be with any of us every second of every day. You won't always be able to protect us but I know that you will always be there to pick us up again. And yes, I do mean us. Because you are just as protcective over your sisters and I. And no matter what, we all know that and because we know that, you will always be our first call when we need help, or don't feel safe," Maggie reassured him.

"Thanks, Mags, I needed to hear that," OA smiled and kissed her head.

"I know, and that's what I am here for. Let's go visit while we can, visiting hours will be over soon."

"Yeah, okay," He replied and took her hand before walking back in the hospital and to his mother's room.

A few hours later after they'd said goodbye to OA's mom and sisters, they climbed into OA's truck and he pulled out of the parking lot.

"Mags, are you alright staying at my place tonight?"

"Of course," She replied.

"Do you need anything from your place?"

"No, I have everything I need in my bag, babe." OA nodded and drove in the direction of his apartment. It was closer to the hospital than Maggie's and he felt more comfortable there tonight.

Ten minutes later, OA parked his truck in front of his apartment. The two got out and unloaded the backseat and carried their things to the door. OA paused to unlock the door and waited for Maggie to enter before continuing into his home.

Maggie knew her way around his apartment, having been there many times before, so she set her work bag down on one of the chairs at his dining table and carried her go bag to the bedroom and set it down just inside the door. She walked back out to the living room and found OA sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. She could see he was still having a hard time dealing with the events of the day. She walked around to stand in front of him.

OA sat back and reached for her, it was then that she saw the extent of the distress on his face. She'd never seen him with tears in his eyes. She could see that he was probably drawing on the emotions of his own experiences with being targeted. Maggie says nothing, because she knows there's nothing she can say to help him feel any better, but climbs into his lap and holds tightly to him as he processes everything he is feeling at the moment.

After nearly an hour, Maggie notices that he seems to have calmed down. She leans back just enough to see his face. She wipes the tears from his face and places a soft kiss to his lips.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Maggie asked, speaking barely above a whisper.

"No, I'll be alright, I just need some time. I wish I could better explain how I am feeling, but this isn't something you can understand unless you experience it. Everything with Am'ma has brought up some bad memories that I wasn't expecting. I'm okay," OA replied as he took her hadn in his.

"Okay, let me know if I can do anything, I want to be here for you. I won't ask you to tell me what you're not okay with sharing, but if you want to share, I will listen," She said as she stood and used their joined hands to pull him to stand as well.

"I know, I'm just not ready to share this with anyone," OA replied as he placed his hands on her waist and pulled her to him.

"I understand that, babe. I love you."

"I love you, too," He replied and reached for his phone, "Do you mind if we just order a pizza tonight?"

"That's fine with me."

"Our usual?" Maggie nodded.

When the pizza arrived twenty minutes later, they sat at the table to eat before they went about their night routine and got ready for bed. Once they were settled in bed, OA wrapped Maggie in his arms and the two fell asleep easily.
