"Good morning," Link looks over at Juliane as she stirs awake. Link leaning against the headboard, computer in his lap.

"Hi," she answers softly.

"How are you?"

"I'm okay," she sits up.

"Do you want to get some breakfast?"

"What are you working on?" she asks, ignoring the question.

"We found out some new information about the organization that Trevor was working for."

"Okay," she nods, encouraging him to go on.

Link shrugs. "The organization that Trevor was working for is connected to a terrorist organization. They actually pay the cartel to do things for them, like launder money and deal with people. They're good news and bad news. The bad news is pretty obvious. The good news is that this is what Éliane and I do therefore we have pretty much free reign when it comes to research and actually getting Trevor back. But it also means that we have to go back to Europe."

"And you probably won't let me go with you?" she asks softly.

"I'm going to let you come, for part of what we will have to do, because I don't plan on leaving you without someone to keep you safe until this is all settled."

"What will I have to do?" she asks.

"In other words we have to get back to Arizona so we can get a few things together then we will be heading across the pond," he winks at her. He watches as she sighs, running a hand through her hair. "Talk to me. I know this is a complete mess, but we will get it fixed than everything can finally calm down, okay?"

"I'm going to kill him," Juliane sighs.

"That's my girl," he laughs. "Come on, let's go eat. We have a flight to catch," he stands up, closing the laptop.
