"We found him!", The blonde man said, making both of us get up faster than ever.

Me, Kate and Robbie got to Jane's computer in seconds where a video in loop of him getting inside of a building was playing.

"Alright everyone, gear up, we're leaving in five!", Kate started making them move to go get ready, "This man is dangerous and represents a national threat. He's coming back with us today!"

The Katherine from last minute was gone, the gentle smile turned into a serious expression that exhaled authority.

I stood still, not sure of where I should stay.

They all put on some bulletproof vests and Katherine finally looked at me.

"Stay here. You're surrounded by agents, we'll be back soon.", She said, starting to walk away after I nodded.

Anxiety is filling me slowly. If something happens to Kate I would never forgi-

A hand landed on my shoulder, once again, Camila was saving me from myself.

"Don't cause trouble, we'll be right back.", She gave me a genuine smile, making me smile too.

A small smile is still a smile after all.

I grabbed her hand on my shoulder without much thought, "Be careful, you still owe me pizza.",

Looking at the others, they were already a few steps ahead. She nodded and followed them.

"Don't get hurt guys!", I told them. Everyone gave me a reassuring smile before they dissapeared behind the elevator doors.

As soon as I was alone, anxiety came back. I wasn't alone, just alone, you know? My life is now on the hands of all these strangers here.

I stood there for a few minutes, calming myself down.

The russian hitman was seen getting inside of a small drugstore. He tried to be careful but there were too many cameras around for him to avoid.

Some of the agents here are paying attention to the cameras around to make sure Arseni doesn't leave the building.

Too many cameras.

There were too many cameras.

I ran back to Jane's computer and put my earpiece on, connecting to them. This was only a hunch but I have a bad feeling.

Instead of Jane's desk, I chose Leo's. That way I wouldn't have anyone behind me and could see the whole bullpen.

"Guys this is weird.", I started

"What, Cameron?", Kate asked calmly, she knew I wouldn't talk if it wasn't important.

Then again, it could just be my paranoia working.

"Him, this whole thing. We couldn't trace him for days now all of a sudden he pops up not even trying to hide from the cameras?"

"I mean, he had a face mask and hoodie.", Robbie argued

"Yes but wouldn't an ex military know that wouldn't be enough? Couldn't he have picked a drugstore with less cameras around?", I continued, I'm getting more nervous every second.

"What are you saying?", Leo asked

"Well, have you seen him in any other cameras other than those ones? Like.. Where he came from?", After I spoke I could hear some typing, probably Jane on her laptop.

"She's right, he's like a ghost.", Jane finally said sounding surprised.

"How is that possible?!", Kate asked, clearly getting upset.
