24. Don't Tell

L.A, 20.16

It's been a day after they landed back at the state and all Morgan can feel is numbness and sick. And it's still hard to open her eyes. But she start to hear her surrounding.

"When will she wake up?"
"I don't know Laila. It might be soon or later. The doctor can't say. They said she had a blunt force trauma." Walter hold Laila's hand, she's worry about Morgan and all he want to do is comfort her. "Don't worry, she will be okay. I'm sure she will. I know her, she's strong and determined."
"Anyway, you haven't eat anything Walter. I brought us some snacks."
"Looks good." He smiles and take a bite from her hand.

Meanwhile, Reddington and Dembe are outside the hospital room, with a bunch of security. His face is a real definition of upset. "What is it Raymond?"
"I respect Walter. I always will. And I care about him like my own son. But this quick romance? They're playing with fire, and they will be hurt because of this."
"What are you talking about?"
"Morgan likes him. She might act like she doesn't, but she does."
"But you're the one who told her not to get involved with Walter."
"I know Dembe. That's why I'm upset. I just thought....that maybe I can bring them together after all of this chaos over. But turned out I made it worse. Because I know for sure Morgan will get hurt seeing him and that girl together, yet she will pretend like she doesn't."
"Raymond, I think it might just getting complicated..."
"How?"
"Patrick. When we were on our way to get you and Morgan... I talked with him. From what I can tell, Patrick likes her. And it seems like Morgan once had a feeling for him."
"That's a good thing Dembe. Maybe he's the answer. If we can bring him here, he could be a getaway for Morgan."
"No, Raymond. You can't do that. What if we ended up hurting him? That's not fair."

"Do what?" Walter suddenly shows up. He's about to get a water for Laila. "Nothing. I talked with Dembe about some business."
"Oh, okay. Anyway.... I thought I saw Morgan moved her hand. I.... I'm positive she will be up soon."
"Really? That's... that's good."
"I know. It's been quite awhile since I spoke to her. I've been sick worrying about her. But now she seems fine."
"We all are Walter. And thank your for the good news. I'll be there after my talk with Dembe."
"Alright. I'm just gonna back to the room."

"Dad..." Morgan slowly open her eyes and speak with a weak tone, and Reddington can't help himself but quickly go to hug her. "Morgan. Oh god. You're okay, you're safe."
"I'm...sorry I didn't come back to open the box."
"No, no. You got the code. You did more than enough. I should be the one who protect you, not the otherwise." He kisses her forehead and shared a tear with her. Morgan then looks behind her father, right to Walter and smiles to him. But her smile is not long enough when she see how his hand and Laila's holding each other. A part of her feelings crushed, but she's fully aware that she has no rights about that. Walter himself realized her smile turns into a cold stare, "What's wrong Morgan? Are you okay?"
"Me? Yeah. I am." Reddington looks to both Morgan and Walter, knowing exactly what's going on.

"Anyway....umm...Dad, you seen the man that attacked me. You have any idea who he is? It seems like he's the one in charge of the facility."
"Actually, I do. He's Ken. He is the one who tried to recruit me back then."
"Well, good thing now we know who we are dealing with." Morgan tries to sit but then Walter tell her not to. "You need to relax for awhile. Now we have the identity of our target, I will gather the team and dig into it. Meanwhile, you need some rest."
"Thanks, Walt... Also congratulations."
"For what?"
"I saw you and Laila..."
"Ah, yes. I umm.... It's a long story. I'm about to tell you, turns out you already catch that."
"Yeah. Haha. I'm...half shrink, you remember?"
"That's right." Both of them caught in a silence before Reddington break the ice.

"I have some businesses to do. Baz and others will be right outside if any of you need something." He put his hat on and then  leave the room with Dembe.

Jakarta, 07.25

"Patrick Jane, open the door!" An agent knocking on his door and he's very sure they're gonna get him for the murder. So he starts to think how to get away with this. He saw a window, too far from the ground. He can't jump, and he certainly can't climb down. But there are balconies on each room, which he can jump in to get into another room. He lock the door to the balcony, makes it looks like he's not going out from there and tries to get to other balcony. Patrick is able to jump into another room's balcony, 3 rooms to the left.

"Mr. Barkley, open the door please." An old man shows up and open the door for him.
"Patrick? What are you doing on my balcony?"
"Please just let me in. You need to trust me. I just want to avoid the conflict. You know me." Mr. Barkley trust Patrick more than anyone around that place. He's been helping him in a daily basis, he never believed that he killed an innocent man. So he let Patrick in.

He hides inside and wait until he can no longer hear people outside the unit. After awhile, he's pretty sure they're gone. "Thanks Mr. Barkley. I'm gonna go back to my room." He open the door just to be welcomed by several agents. "Good morning Mr. Jane. How are you?"

L.A, 06.29

Morgan changes her hospital clothes into her usual outfits. She doesn't like to stay in the hospital. "Where you think you're going?" A nurse comes in and she quickly put her hand to cover her mouth. "Ssshhh. I don't wanna hurt you. But I got something to do. You need to get into the bathroom, don't make a sound or I should make you unconscious. Understand?" The nurse nods and get into the bathroom.

She peeks outside of her room, there are several guards. Reddington's men. "Ugh, this pissed me off." There's only one door, in and out. The only escape is the windows. Her room is in the fifth floor. "Uh, guess I don't have much choice." She's ready to climb down but then decided not to when her head suddenly feels like a time bomb. Buzzing like crazy. "Damn it!" She grasp on her windows frame and then step back. Right in the moment, Walter comes in.

"Morgan? What...what are you doing there?" He lift her up and put her on the bed. "Why won't you following order for this time? You're not completely fine. Yet."
"I got this idea. About finding Ken. I thought it was a good idea, up until my head buzzing." She grunts, trying to open her eyes. "Not now, okay? You need to get rest."
"Sure thing, Craig."
"Craig?"
"What? Did I say Craig?"
"You did."
"Well, sorry. It might slip my tongue. I mean to say Walter."
"Okay. Nevermind. Anyway, I saw a nurse board on your bed. You didn't do something to her, right?" She smirks, "Well, about that..... I think you should open the bathroom."
