Beca raced home and placed her outfit (mask, blonde hair, black leather attire on) before once again leaving. Blacking out her number plates she drove across town to a small home. Parking the bike she subtly snuck through the back entrance. She slid the door open and closed it behind her, keeping low and crouched she moved into the house.

Feeling someone tap on her shoulder she turned and prepared herself, bringing a fist right around but Lily blocked it, her face impassive.

"Lily." Beca greeted curtly, "What am I doing here?"

"This is a small safe house of mine."

"Where is Amy?"

"Still gathering information."

"What? She was the one who called me-"

"Yes I told her to."

"What's going on?" Beca was annoyed she had to leave Chloe, wanting to spend the day with her.

"We've found something." Lily gestured that she follow her into the hidden downstairs area of the home, which was a lot larger than the home itself. Walking over to a large computer set up Lily sat down and booted up some files.

Beca remained standing and waited for Lily to inform her as to why she had been summoned out here.

"We've received word of a possible positive match on a face for a murder in Atlanta a year back. The possible match has come to light during this feed at the airport two days ago." Lily stated whilst she brought up one of the security airport camera's and a sketch someone has done of the male suspect.

"Where?"

"Here in Vegas."

Beca felt everything stop for a moment, though her mind raced. She stared at both the pictures, the airport feed couldn't give much due to him wearing sunnies and a baseball cap

Baseball cap... Wait he.... He looks like...

xx

"Sorry!" one young male wearing a baseball cap bumped into her shoulder, but continued on without looking back.

"That's... okay." Beca watched him walk away, her eyes narrowed in on him curiously but tore them away at the sight of the red head.

No... this... this doesn't make any sense.

Lily eyed the woman whose eyes were distant yet glued to the computer screen.

"I need you to run a name, Nathan Linde." Beca had seen the man's nametag for only a brief second before he bumped into her.

Lily quickly ran it through the secure database and Beca's stomach dropped seeing the man's face come up, he did not look the same as who she had seen not an hour or so prior. The features she had seen from the 'Nathan Linde' would more correlate with the man seen at the airport.

"Give me an address." Beca sounded normal and calm, she was everything but, and anyone else would've been deceived by the façade, however Lily saw right through it.

"15 Bundle Street."

I need to be sure.

Lily stood from her chair and faced Beca, knowing the woman was not informing her of everything "geugeos-eun mueos-ibnikka? (What is it?)"

"I-... I need to go to this address. I've seen someone that looks close to the sketch provided yet his credentials stated his name was Nathan Linde...." Still this doesn't make an ounce of sense... "get me to that address."
