"Hey Harp?" Phoebe stopped her.

"Yeah?" She responded.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?"

                      <•••>

"Wait so mom is the bad guy? Like in the shows we used to watch when we were younger?" Harper frowned.

"Yes. I'm sorry." Phoebe sighed and hugged Harper.

"And Conny..." Harper huffed and her breathing became ragged.

"I'm sorry Harper. But we're gonna get out of here. And we're taking everyone. You're a very smart girl and we need your help. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else. We will eventually but not yet." Phoebe started running her hand through Harpers blonde hair, her fingers occasionally getting caught in small knots that she'd brush out.

Harper sniffed. "Okay. Is that why you haven't talked to me lately?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry...I've been distant. I won't be anymore okay? I need you to be my spy to keep eyes out for the traitor." Phoebe smiled and pinched Harpers cheek.

"You better not, and I get to be a spy??And what about Lanni? Can I tell him?" Harpers eyes lit up.

Phoebe laughed. "Yes you're my spy. He'll find out eventually. You can't tell your boyfriend yet okay?" Phoebe teased with a smile.

"Bee!!!!!" Harpers cheeks went red and she started hitting Phoebes arm.

Phoebe started laughing even more.

                          <•••>

"She knows. And she took it better than I expected. So now we have a lookout for the traitor." Phoebe smiled at Emma, Ray, and Norman.

"Good work Bee. Emma, we should start playing tag in teams from now on." Norman mentioned.

"Why's that?" Emma arched a brow.

Ray turned around and faced Emma.

"Honestly, most would die if they escaped on their own." Ray said with no emotion.

"Ray!" Phoebe scoffed.

"Come on Ray!" Emma exclaimed.

"Not to say that they don't have some potential, but we shouldn't let them run solo." Ray smirked.

Phoebe rolled her eyes and smirked as well.

"We'll make formations and take off in teams." Norman began.

"That way we can simulate the real escape." Ray looked out into the forest.

"The real one..." Emma breathed.

"I had another idea as well. Let's tell Don and Gilda. If we get them on our side they can be team leaders." Norman looked at the three of them.

"And what if they turn out to be moms informants?" Ray arched a brow.

"Don't worry, I'll basically be killing two birds with one stone. Just leave it all to me. I've already made arrangements." Norman smiled and looked to Emma, putting a finger up to his mouth.

Emma gasped quietly.

"Emma, Bee. Listen up. Memorize these formations. There are a hundred of them." Ray smirked.

"Wait you mean by ear?" Emma smiled awkwardly.

"That a problem?" He looked to Phoebe.

"Alright. I smell a challenge." Phoebe smirked and crossed her arms.
