The Architect. [The Blacklist. Donald Ressler X Oc]

Split.

Maggie.

I didn't know if we were still dating, I didn't asked him, I didn't wanted to talk to him. I left the office with tears still trying to escape my eyes.

I got back to my place and turned on the TV. The news broadcast was still staying that they needed Liz for questioning, some man I didn't care about was giving a speech about some conspiracy and some shadow government.

I didn't have anything else to do. If anything went according to plan, Raymond should be hiding underground. He couldn't leave the city. I had no more projects to work on, and if I did I wasn't in the mood.

I packed a little bag and got my things in my car, making sure to turn everything off in the house and locking the door on my way out. I got in my car and drove.

Since I couldn't take a flight straight to my sister's and I couldn't drive 6 hours to her house, I spent almost 2 hours trying to leave DC. When I finally made it out and ended in Delaware, I left my car in the airport in Wilmington and took a plane to Rhode Island.

When I got to my sister's place just before lunch I really couldn't hold in the fact that things were not okay, and my sister could see right through me. I walked into her place and the fact that I had not given her a warning I was coming made her worry more.

"I'm impressed you actually made it out of DC, things are a nightmare over there"

"Tell my about it" I said unenthusiastically. I plopped down in the couch in front of her TV. She was holding my baby nephew who was almost 6 months old. She sat down next to me and looked straight into my eyes.

"Maggie what happened?" She asked serious.

I just shrugged and sighed

"Donald and I had a fight"

"And you left the state" she concluded with a tone on her voice like it was a logical reaction. I just nodded "What was the fight about?" She asked. I rolled my eyes and leaned to hold Nathan

"That's not important" I gave the little one a kiss on the cheek. We heard the front door open, Ethan must've been out getting my nieces from school.

"Did you see baby? He's taken hostages in a dinner" Ethan walked with Ella on his arms, Maddie turned the TV on to the news broadcasting the hostage situation in a dinner. I recognized the building, it was Chui's. I frowned and tried to listen attentively.

"-where the most elusive fugitive in the history of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Raymond Reddington has taken this local dinner, we believe there are at least 20 citizens taken hostage, and he's in the company of the Russian terrorist and ex FBI agent Elizabeth Keen"

"What are you doing here?" I heard Ethan ask. I looked behind me and gave Ella a little smile. Ethan was looking at me also worried.

"Don has been assigned to that case" I pointed at the TV. "I don't think I'll be seeing much of him" I turned and continued to look at the screen. Ethan said something about Don but I didn't hear him, I was focused thinking.

He wasn't supposed to be out, he was supposed to be underground until he could leave the city, Chui's place was the contingency plan of the contingency plan. What went wrong?

Donald must've chased him out of hiding. That's what happened. Don was a lot more perceptive now. He had been with me for a while, he must've known how to find the hidden basement.
