Lucy had went back to her place to change, knowing she couldn't wear the same clothes she'd been wearing the night before, they were a little to fancy for work. Wyatt had dropped her off them headed back to his place to quickly grab his wallet to pay for his breakfast. Then he headed to Mason Industries, expecting a normal day of work, betting that Flynn was just toying with the pair. But when Wyatt pulled up he could already sense something was wrong, he could just sense it. He pushed open the entrance door and as soon as he entered the building, there were about fifty more workers than usual, all wearing suits and looked like they worked with the government. Rittenhouse. He saw Agent Christopher between two heavy built men, each holding roughly on her upper arms heading this way. Wyatt could see the scowl on her face and he knew something was happening that he didn't know everything about yet. He frowned and blocked the two men's path. They stopped abruptly both not looking to pleased by Wyatt's action.

"What the hell is going on here? Let her go, now!" Wyatt spat, aggression shown throughout his person. The guards didn't look amused.

"Mr Logan I presume, yes, we were warned about you." One said, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah well, I suggest you let go of her." Wyatt snarled, not caring who these men were. Agent Christopher was their friend and she wasn't going to be treated poorly by some snobby guards. "Now."

"We have orders." The other told him, his hand still had a tight grip on her arm.

"And if you continue to follow those orders, I will break your arm, along with yours. Now. Let. Her. Go." Wyatt spoke calmly. The men remained in their positions and Wyatt swung into action as they went for him, still holding Agent Christopher, the men might've had a bigger build than him but he was fast and he had a good knack at unarming people. He elbowed one of the mens arm causing him to yell in pain and release Denise and Wyatt swung several punches at the other when he tried to put up a fight but he ended up holding his ribs as he led on the floor. Wyatt had draw attention all around their workplace. But he took hold of Agent Christopher's hand and tugged her quickly out of the building and instructed her to get in the car. When he'd drove off and pulled up alongside an empty road he turned to the woman who was rubbing where the men had held onto her. "What the hell is going on, Christopher?"


"It's Rittenhouse." Denise sighed, staring out the front screen. Wyatt rolled his eyes.

"I know that, Flynn came by this morning to tell me to watch Lucy, that Rittenhouse is going to be swarming Mason Industries, I didn't really believe he was telling the  truth, Lucy is on her way there now." Wyatt grumbled, his eyes widening when he thought of Lucy, his eyes widened in alarm. "I've got to get back there."

"Wyatt who knows what they'll do to you for beating the life out of their guards." Agent Christopher sighed as Wyatt started speeding down the empty road, heading back the way they came. "Wyatt." Christopher said again, knowing he wasn't listening.

"I'll drop you off, Lucy told me where you lived. I'll quickly drop you off and then drive back to Mason Industries, hopefully I can get there before Lucy goes in." Wyatt muttered, Agent Christopher reminded herself to tell Lucy not to tell people where she lived. 

"Lucy will be fine, Wyatt."

"No. Flynn told me specifically to watch her, Rittenhouse has a connection to her. Who knows what that means. Lucy could be in danger for all I know." Wyatt replied quickly, speeding up, swerving passing cars. Funnily enough he was pretty good at road rage driving, it didn't take long until he heard sirens tailing him. Agent Christopher sighed, glancing around the truck, digging her hand into her inner pocket and pulling out her badge. She noticed the sunroof and slid it open. Wyatt look at her as though she was crazy. "What are you doing?"

"We're not going to get rid of them by continuing to drive, we've got to show them our badge but stopping to show them will slow us down." She explained, the saw the police vehicles were close enough to get a good look at her badge and she took a deep breath and stepped to her feet and held her badge tight so it didn't fly out of her hand but she leaned carefully forward making the officer in the passenger seat lean forward, eyeing the badge in her hand. The man nodded and the police car gradually slowed, careful of the driving civilians. Agent Christopher sunk back into the passenger seat letting out a breath, closing the sunroof. "There. Turn right, I thought Lucy told you where I lived."

"She did. I've just never drove around here before, I was looking for the street name." Wyatt muttered, trying to focus on the road. Determined to drop her off as quick as possible and head straight back to the industries. He tossed his phone to Christopher. "Messgage Lucy tell her to wait outside the industries."

Denise didn't like that he was telling her what to do but she let it slide, seem as he did save her from those Rittenhouse goons. He found Lucy's number and typed a quick message just as they pulled up to Agent Christopher's. She climbed out and stopped at Wyatt's window.

"Be careful. Don't forget to get Rufus and Jiya too. They were in the building in Mason's office, although I doubt they'd be in there now, Rittenhouse might've moved them after your little outburst at the guards. Just don't get yourself or anyone else killed. Good luck Mr Logan." Denise nodded, stepping away from the truck as Wyatt readied to rush off.

"Thanks...just keep your family safe." Wyatt told her before her sped off, taking a u turn to return to the industries as fast as he could praying Lucy got his message.
