On top of the roof, Cole and Cassie looks down at the people that were in pain and at the fountain that was spewing up black tar, "Not looking good, Moya. Sick people all over the place and the water in the fountain is black." Cole informs the agent. "All right, get over there. We need to find a way to stop this." she informs them, Cole ends the call and then Cassie grips his arm, making him look at her "Cass?" he asks her, "She's down there Cole." she states and Cole looks down and saw that she was looking at Cole's ex-girlfriend. Trish as she was treating the wounded as best as she can.

Cole then felt guilt in his stomach as Cassie was feeling the same thing as well, "Come on, let's just focus on the mission." he tells her, she nods and they both jump down and walk over to the fountain, they heal the people, burning out the tar inside their bodies, "C'mon, breath! Breath!" Trish said to the wounded person, then they two walks up to her, "What are you doing here?" she snaps at the two and Cassie grips her arm and looks away, "Moya wanted us to see what's going on with the fountain." Cole answers her, "Who's Moya?" Trish questions him, "Don't matter." he answers her. And she looks away.

"Look, Trish, I know what that guy said about me and Cassie." he starts and she glares back up at him, "My sister is dead because of you both!" she shouts making Cassie flinch a little at her voice. "Cassie had nothing to do with that package, she just got caught in the blast. But I swear to you Trish, I didn't know what was in that package." Cole tries to get it through her head.

"I don't want to hear it. Do you want to help? Fine, you can start by closing that valve over there – it's jammed and I can't turn it. That's how the black tar is getting into the fountain." Trish informs them, then Cassie looks down at the wounded man and then kneels down next to him, Trish glares at her but Cassie did her best to ignore her, and raise her hand a little as electricity cracks in her palm, "Don't even think about it." Trish warns her.

But Cassie held her hand to the man's chest and send a pulse through him, the man gasp in air as Cassie quickly moves away and fell into Cole's grasp as he grips her shoulders and then the man sat and looks up at her, "Thank you." he tells her, she nods at him, "Come on, Cass." Cole states and turns him away from the two as Trish looks over the man, seeing if he had any injuries. Then two grip the valve, "On three." he states, Cassie nods, "One... two... three..." he states and they started to turn the valve, closing the pipes, but then black tar shot out at them, "Ahhh!" they both shout as their vision was now blurring and seeing colors.

"It's all over your eyes – I need to get a solvent out of my car. Follow me." Trish states as she was standing in front of them, but her voice echoed as they followed her down the ramp. "I've been watching you, Cole. Waiting for this moment. Anticipating it." a woman's voice echos through her head, Cassie scream a little as she saw giant Reapers in front of them. Trish looks at her, "Cassie what are you screaming about?" Trish questions her.

"Who... are you...?" Cassie whispers, "Who... doing this..." Cole questions, Trish rolls her eyes, then started to jog again. The two followed her, "She hates you. Loathes you, your power frightens her. She'll never love you." the woman's voice echos in their head as they turn down the alley. "I can make you forget about her. Everything you shared, gone like a whisper. No more pain, no more heartache." the woman whispers to Cole, but Cassie could hear her too.

"This way." Trish calls out to them and the followed, but they stop as they saw Reapers in front of them, Cassie closed her eyes, shook her head and opens them, seeing that the Reapers were gone, "You... not... real..." Cole states as he fights hers, "You're mine. Body and soul. We'll be together. Always." she said in a sinister way. Cassie grips the sides of her head as Cole shook his, "...no... stop it... get out!" Col fights her.
