Bishop went rogue, yet somehow Mr. Nobody keeps dragging her back in. According to her, this is the VERY LAST TIME she'll be involved with the Agency. All she has to do is find Project Aries and befriend Han Lue.
How hard could that be?
Bishop didn...

The Agency was a mess when Bishop arrived. Everyone was called in – Usagi didn't even spare the cleaners. Everyone was in the middle of the office, listening to Usagi go over what they knew so far. From what Bishop heard as soon as she arrived was that Mr. Nobody was transporting a prisoner to the States when his plane was hijacked. At the moment, they had no idea where the plane went down or who was on registered. Usagi didn't even know that Mr. Nobody was on a mission.
Bishop lifted her hand up to get Usagi's attention. Usagi nodded once, letting Bishop head off to the conference room. Bishop let herself in the conference room, sitting down at the long table. Her fingers tapped against the glass table, taking a shaky breath.
Bishop couldn't wait to find out what actually happened.
She pulled out her phone, popping in her earbuds. She decided to watch the video again, looking for any key things that Mr. Nobody either did or said, outside of the obvious. Bishop slowed down the video, carefully looking at the surroundings. She started to feel bad – the last thing she told Mr. Nobody was "fuck you."
In the moment she was angry with him. And she still was.
Bishop just knew that Mr. Nobody would have used Project Aries if there was a need for it. But now saying he wanted to destroy it, he couldn't have thought of that earlier?
Bishop paused right as Mr. Nobody said, "still alive." If the transmission didn't cut out, Han's name would have been dropped. For once, Bishop didn't know how she felt about it. For five years, Han had to hide with Elle, and once Sean and Twinkie left the country, Han was allowed to leave their apartment more often. Now, it was second nature, no one paid attention to the foreigners. The people that the family did meet were incredible.
If Mr. Nobody was mentioning Han, then the team would be led in the direction of Project Aries. That was the only explanation. And his mention of "dangerous cargo." Bishop wondered if he had found the other half of the project or if he was talking about Cipher.
As Bishop went to text Han, a text from Tej came through, asking if she got the same email. A few messages later, Bishop would be heading to England. She'd meet the team at the Agency's private airstrip tomorrow morning. Bishop locked her phone, turning it upside down as Usagi entered the conference room.
She sat next to Bishop with a thud. Usagi placed her hands over her eyes, groaning loudly. Bishop pulled out the earbud from her ear, placing it back into the case. "Where's Ben?" Bishop asked.
"We don't know." Bishop looked over at Usagi. "He apparently went with Mr. Nobody on the mission. And just like Mr. Nobody, nobody's seen him since." Usagi lowered her arms to her sides. They hang off the side of the chair. Usagi gently rocked the chair, looking up at the ceiling. "We're so fucked, Bishop."
