The Blacklist: The Animal Savior [no 196]

Chapter 3

Aram and Samar were right where Reddington agreed to meet with them. Aram and Samar both didn't saw any sign of Reddington. Another car stopped right in front of them.

"Who are you?" Asked a man Samar and Aram both didn't seem to know.

"Jack and this is my girlfriend Olive." Said Aram quickly so Samar wouldn't say something completely different as happened this morning with Ressler and Aram.

"You're in a hurry?" The man who drove the car asked.

"No, we're not. We are waiting for a friend." Said Samar.

"You're telling me the truth, that guy isn't. Get in the car." Said the driver. There was also someone on the backseat of the car, but he didn't seem to be very useful. He did go to the passenger seat. Aram was now really nervous. It was his fault that they were discovered. Both Aram and Samar got in the car so they wouldn't get hurt. The driver drove the car while talking. "Just tell me the truth."

"Never." Said Aram. The Driver looked mad at Aram. "Okay, sorry please don't hurt her. It was my plan, she has nothing to do with my plan." Said Aram to protect Samar. Samar wasn't looking happy. She knew if these guys were criminals that Aram put her in danger. He didn't think about it that way.

"So, you two are really a couple?" Asked the driver.

"Yes, we are." Answered Aram. "And you're not going to hurt her." Said Aram.

"Indeed, we're not. We are ordered by The Catcher to get you to him. What he is going to do is a complete surprise. But I'm sure we can enjoy it." Both Aram and Samar were a little less scared. The driver drove them to The Catcher.

"Thank you." Said The Catcher when they arrived. They were standing in a dark room that looked like a basement. "You guys need to help me. You need to take down Raymond Reddington." Aram and Samar were completely surprised.

"You... want us to... take down the Raymond Reddington?" Said Aram nervous and surprised. Samar looked at The Catcher.

"Why?" Asked Samar.

"Because I know you are FBI. And I can give you something. A criminal who's not on your radar."

"What about this killer?" Asked Samar. The Catcher chuckles.

"You think I am so stupid to give you information without making a deal. That's not going to happen. First I want you to catch Raymond Reddington."

"What if we can't?" Asked Samar. Aram wanted to jump in, but he thought that Samar had more experience and so she, would do a greater job.

"I actually expected someone else. A cop who's chasing him for even more years then I could count on my fingers. Donald Ressler." Samar and Aram didn't understand. Reddington told Ressler clearly told Ressler he couldn't go.

"Why him?" Asked Aram.

"Because I think he would take this deal. You guys are what? Some cops who want a lot of money for taking Reddington?"

"We are working with him to find Reddington. I bet you if I call him, he will tell me I should take this deal. But first something about the criminal who's not on our radar."

"No call Ressler! I'm not going to wait till you cops stab me in the backs."

"I called Ressler." Said Aram to The Catcher and Samar.

Ressler's phone was going off. He ran to Cooper's office "Sir! I got a phone call. It's Aram." He picked up the phone.

"Aram? Tell me and Cooper what's going on." Asked Ressler.
