Bree found herself looking up at the sky standing on an skyscraper that used to scare her senseless. "I'm here. I know you know it." She said talking to herself. Not a soul was there as the clock hit 3:30am.

"Where are you! You and your damn drone!" Bree shouted at the sky with a stomp of her foot. Her hands balled into fists trembled.

"Bree?" A voiced called timidly from behind her.

Bree turned with a scowl.

Ken threw his hands up "whoa, it's ok. It's only me." He said slowly, taking careful steps closer.

"How'd  you know I'd  be up here?" She asked taking a cautious step back. "Han sent me..." Ken paused and flashed her a mildly hurt expression.

"You know you can trust me, Bree." He said, his eyes locket into hers.

Bree took a other step back "Han sent you?" She questioned. Ken's lashes fluttered as he gave a nod "yeah." He said softly.

Bree found she had backed up to the railing. "You need to leave then, I can't  be around Han. Edwards, Shaw, if I'm connected to them - I just make it easier to hurt him." Bree said.

Ken shook his head, "I'm  not leaving, I'm  not here for him." He said, standing before Bree he carefully reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Let me take you someplace to rest, you've been running all night. I can keep you safe." He said. He spoke in a low lull, his gloved hands caressed Bree across her forehead, his gloves had metal padding at the fingertips that send a cold tingle down Bree's spine.

Her lids became heavy and sounds seemed far away. "Wait..." Bree said quietly, feeling off. "Shhh, you're  tired Bree." Ken murmured, his face leaning down closer to hers. His hand still on her forhead.

Meanwhile Juice and Han headed up the elevator.  "You sure about this?" Juiced asked Han, who was impatiently watching the numbers.

"Yeah, Ken's going to Raquel. we find her, we find him and if she is nowhere else. She has to be here." Han said.

The elevator stopped with a bright ding from a bell. Han lead Juice out and they headed onto the outdoor space.

His heart fell to his gut and a fire in Gulf his chest, his pace quicker as he strode towards the railing, "Han?" Juice asked chasing after him in a jog.

"Shit..." Juice muttered as he looked pass Han.

"Ken!" Han called, grabbing Ken shoulder he pulled him away from Bree.

A sharp sound cracked through the night as Han's fist connected with Ken's cheek. Ken stumbled and Han shook out his hand. Maybe that wasn't the best idea.

Ken held his cheek and chuckled "that's it?" He said. Han looked to Bree who stood dazed with half lidded eyes.

"What'd  you do to her man!" Juice called angrily. Ken wiggled his fingers showing off the metal pads of the gloves "nifty things." He said.
