The DEO

Maggie walked back into the interrogation room but she was with Peter Thomason, and Rick's eyes lit up. "Ricky," Thomason said and Rick got up, walking up to him.

"Dad," he said with a smile.

"Aw...All that time in prison, I imagined a day when...I could talk to you without a pane of glass between us. And here we are," Thomason said before he and Rick hugged. "Oh, it's good to see you, son."

"The DEO moved heaven and Earth to free this man. We did what you wanted. Now tell us where Alex is," Maggie said but Rick shook his head as he and Peter broke their hug.

"No. No, not until my father and I are far from here," Rick said.

"You think we're stupid? I showed you mine. Your turn," Maggie said.

"So you can toss us in Gitmo? Not gonna happen. Maybe he gives you a piece. A little token of goodwill. You gotta give them something, Ricky. That's how it works. Just tell them where she is," Thomason said and Rick shook his head.

"Well, you really nailed his essence, I'll give you that," he said before he sat back down.

"What?" Maggie asked.

"I mean, that thing...He couldn't decide whether to hug me or not. That's vintage Dad," Rick said and Thomason walked over to him, confused.

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"My father would never be playing these games. He'd be wanting to get the hell away from here and making sure that he never went back to prison. I've been planning this for years. Did you really think I didn't prepare for you, Martian?" Rick asked and Thomason walked back next to Maggie, then he shapeshifted into J'onn. "You're down to twenty-three hours and fourteen minutes. And counting."

Agent Demos was at a computer when it started beeping at him, and Winn, who was nearby, looked back at it. "I just got a software update request from one of our trackers. System's not recognizing the IP address. Looks like a hack. Should I kill it?" Demos asked.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait," Winn said before he took another look at it. "That's Alex! She, she...She couldn't get a signal out, so she wired herself into the camera. Which means we only have to find the location of the camera's IP address. Alex, you beautiful human, this is next level."

Winn ran into the lobby area outside of the interrogation room where Kara, Barry, Iris and Mon-El were. "Guys!" He yelled and they all looked back at him. "We found Alex. I found her."

"You did?" Iris asked.

"We got a ping from her subdermal tracker. She's not far," Winn said and Kara stormed into the interrogation room, where Maggie was sitting across from Rick.

"Maggie. Winn found Alex," Kara said as Maggie and Rick looked back at her.

"What? How?" Maggie asked and Kara looked at Rick.

"I guess you underestimated my sister. Let's go," Kara said before she started to walk out.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Rick said and Kara looked back at him.

"You're delusional. And the second we get back here with Alex, you're going to prison with your dad," Kara said.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," Rick said but Kara stormed out anyway.
