"Gather up geniuses! We got a case." Cabe walks in along with Sylverster and surprised that Morgan is still there. "Agent Gallo, Mr. Dodd. Hi."
"Ms. Stefensson. What can we help you?"
"Haha. No. I'm...part of this now. Just like what you said. We made a great team." She looks at Walter, waiting for him to properly introduce her as a new member. "Oh, of course. Guys... Our new team member. Morgan Stefensson, since she's experienced with neuro-computer. I thought she could help bridging me and Toby on difficult cases. She's also trained to use weapon, got close combat skill, she might be helpful to Cabe as well."
"She's a lovechild of Walter, Toby, and Cabe. Perfect." Happy adds. Morgan smiles to all of them. "Well, since we met in unconventional circumstances before. It's safe to say this now. Nice to meet you all"
"Okay, now the case. Sly, show us." Sylverster shows a blueprint of pipeline, a report paper, and
"Homeland got a news about a gas leak outside Chinatown."
"Gas leak? They were on the news this morning." Morgan put a video of morning news to the monitor.
"They're not only a gas leak, they found a device, put nearby the leak. Lucky enough, they're able to take the device from the site into somewhere safe. But not for long." Cabe shows the detail of the device.
"Wait, I know the work." Out of her time in CIA, she once work with a scientist specialized on this kind of thing. "Of course you'll know. You're seeing a work of Dr. Miranda Cortez."
"I know who is she, but there's no way she set up a bioweapon near a gas leak. I know her well enough."
"Well she made this. No doubt."
"There must be a reason. She worked in bio lab with my friend, she had a good life. I'm gonna call her landlord to check on her."
While Morgan making a call, Happy noticed something from the picture of the device. "Walt, we can disarm this."
"It was a simple device. It's like a paint bomb, just filled with bio weapon instead of yellow pigment."
"The one people put on money piles?"
"Exactly. Just modified." Their faces light up and they're positive they can solve this. "Guys, let's go to CDC. We got a job to do." On their way out, Morgan shows up and seems a little bit worried. "I just got a talk her landlord. Miranda was missing. This morning. There is a sign of struggle. I need to go to find her."
"Promise me you'll be safe." Walter pat her back. "Of course."
"You'll never gonna find Miranda." Red comes in and throw some photographs on the table. "Miranda...."
"She's dead. Apparently someone knows we're gonna looking for her and decided to keep her mouth shut."
"That's why you're back?"
"Yes, and also because you know someone who share the research with her. I believe he's still in town."
"I'm sorry Reddington, but we got a bioweapon to be disarmed." Cabe stops him from being to close to Morgan. "You act suspicious today, and I don't like it."
"I think you're overreacting Agent Gallo."
"If what you said was true, she's not going anywhere. It might be people who is looking for her, by targeting Miranda in the first place." Walter is somehow being protective and tries to keeps her safe
"Yes she will, I can help you with the case if she's willing to help me."
"No, we know you're using her. And we don't agree with that. We, geniuses are always taken advantage on. I won't let you do that to her."
Morgan step in between them, "Cabe, Walter. I'm good. I'll be alright. He needs me."
"Morgan..."
"Seriously. You said yourself that I'm a lovechild of the entire team, I can handle myself. I won't get advantage on. I could kill him, if necessary."
"Really comforting." Red is being sarcastic on Morgan's words.
"Shut up. You want me to help or not?"
"Fair enough."
CDC, 09.25
They saw people in a hazmat suit soon as they get into the building. "What are we dealing with?" Sly is scared to death, thinking about some bioweapon in the same building as them. "Janet Arsy, I was assigned to help you all. Scorpions right?"
"Yes, we are. Can we see the device?"
"Of course, but I'm afraid the we could only help from out here. You told us it was a simple device, but I can't risk what's inside the device to be released."
"Gave us one of those suits. And Toby, get into the lab so I can gave you the sample soon as I disarm it."
"Got it."
"Happy, you'll come with me. Cabe, you'll stand by outside, you will need to be in touch with Morgan. Whatever she finds about the content of this weapon."
Frontier Research Lab, 10.05
"Anthony!"
"Morgan! God, you're here. I heard you were missing?"
"I'm here Ant, but Miranda.."
"Miranda? We got a dinner last night. Why? What's wrong?"
"She's dead. Now you need to tell me what she's working on."
"Wait... Stop, right there, okay, that's not possible."
"What do you mean?"
"Her card just swiped in 10 minutes ago." Their face turned pale. Reddington get his gun and grab Morgan's hand. But before Reddington bring her, she gives instructions to Anthony. "The killer is in the building. It could be another device. Do the lock down. Get your people to the containment room on level two. Only the people that you know and trust."
"On it."
Morgan and Red swiping every room, looking for someone suspicious but can't find any. "We can't look into every room. They're too much. We need to go to the containment room ourselves. The culprit couldn't go out so I assume he would be here. We need to contain ourselves." They goes to level 3 where some individual rooms are located.
"Yes Cabe? Can you call later, I'm in the middle of..."
"Listen to me, Toby run a test. It was a custom virus. It can infect everyone in 30 seconds but only target one specific person or a relative who shared same DNA and blood type. It will cause an allergic reaction, trouble to breathe, and coma."
"You know who that is?"
"We can't tell, but Toby could reverse the structure and found a man DNA with B minus blood. So he run a test with the only man we know have B minus"
"Reddington?
"Yes." Morgan heard a beep sound, "Damn it!" In a split seconds she rushes and push Reddington into one of the containment room and lock it right before an explosion happens.
CDC, 10.15
"I heard a blast, Cabe, what happened?" Walter takes the phone, "Hello? Morgan? Hey!"
"It might be the second device. Assuming it was similar with the one we retrieve, it might be not a lethal blast, but still could kill the target when the content is out."
"And that would be Reddington."
"Exactly."
Frontier Research Lab, 10.18
"That's okay. I'm okay."
"Are you sure?'
"Yes, the explosion isn't big. And the virus is a custom build. Toby said he discovered a man's DNA with B minus. I though it would be you. It could only attack you and people who shares the same DNA with you, specifically with the same blood type as you. It wouldn't harm anyone outside of that perimeter."
"Morgan, get in the box!"
"Wait, why?"
"Now!"
"It would never harm me. Didn't you hear what I said? It was custom build and..."
"Morgan! Just get into one damn it!"
"Okay, you need to calm down, I'm just...." Suddenly she couldn't get much oxygen in her lungs. "Morgan! Hey! For God's sake stay awake!" She looks at Reddington, finally learned something about him, "That's....no way..."
"Morgan.... Open my box. I need to get you in here."
"No..."
"You need help!"
"That's your...DNA, it's gonna....kill you. But....why I.... am I....."
"Morgan, you know the code, open it!" She dragged her body to one of those containers but before she can do something about it, she collapsed in front of the box that contains Reddington.
"Morgan you need to open my box!"
"No... you'll die too.." She takes the last deep breath, ".....please call...Walter."
