A New Battle Begins

Change In Plans

**Three Days Later**:

Three days after receiving the mystery phone call, Reed had all the arrangements ready for his trip that day to confront Roman and Seth. As he loaded his bags into his car his phone rang, he took it out and without looking at it he answered it.

"Special Agent Reed?" He said, as he got into his car.

"Agent Reed, how are you?" The male voice asked.

"I'm very well, who is this?" Reed demanded.

"How rude of me! My name is Hunter..."

"Helmsley!" Reed said angrily, cutting Hunter off.

"Ah, so you have heard of me Agent Reed!" Hunter mocked.

"Of course I have you arrogant prick! You killed one of my Agents and two of my top Agents are going to finally take you and your family down!" Reed answered angrily. "Why are you calling me? Turning yourself in?"

"I see you have a sense of humor Reed! I'm calling to give you a friendly warning...and I suggest you take it seriously!" Hunter answered.

"Warning? What kind of warning?" Reed asked.

"We know you're looking into people by the names Dean and Paige! My advice to you is don't!"

"Really? Why is that Helmsley? They friends of yours?"

"Let's just say we know about them!" Hunter answered.

"That doesn't explain why you're wanting to protect them bad enough you'd threaten an FBI Agent?"

"Threaten? Agent Reed, no one's threatening anyone! I'm only giving you a friendly warning, and I'll only do this once! Stay away from Dean and Paige!"

"If I don't?" Reed challenged.

"If you're stupid enough to not listen, then whatever happens next is your fault Agent Reed!" Hunter said, before he hung up.

Reed hung up his phone and put it away, he was not only suspicious, but now he was furious too! Something was definitely going on, The Authority don't just call and threaten random people for no reason! There's something about Dean and Paige they don't want him to find out about! It made him wonder if Reigns and Rollins know what that something is? Now he was more determined than ever to find out what the hell was going on!

Meanwhile later that day, Roman sat at his desk watching as Seth talked to Agent Fields in the hall. Despite the anger and resentment both Seth and Roman had about having partners, both ended up liking both Sanders and Fields, becoming friends. The young Agents were hard workers and actually had some pretty good ideas, so both Roman and Seth let their guard down and the four of them made an excellent team! It was late; almost nine at night, and they were still at the station finishing paperwork on a small shipment of drugs belonging to The Authority; that they had stopped earlier that afternoon at the airport thanks to a tip from Paige. Roman stood and stretched, he was exhausted, but forced himself to keep going knowing the only way to stop this bullshit was to take The Authority down!

He decided to see if Seth wanted to grab dinner before they headed back to the hotel. Smiling Roman went into the hall and went to where Seth and Fields were standing, Sanders joined them seconds later, Roman spoke.
