"Agent Matthews! I'm sorry to interrupt but I need to talk to you it's urgent!" Max yelled as he busted into the room. Josh's face went from shocked to outraged, to confused to concern and then to team leader mode in a matter of seconds as he watched Max come in.

"What is it?" He asked as he walked from behind his desk to where Max was standing with the two files in his hand.

"It's Maya! She's in danger!" Max told him. All the team by now had come into the office behind Max and Smackle.

"Well, it seems that you have your hands full. I should get going." Peterson stated as he started moving out of the office. Josh glared at the back of his head as he left, before looking over at Max.

"What's going on?" He asked him. Max took a deep breath before laying out the files on Josh's desk, causing the team to all gather around and check them out.

"I don't know how, and I don't know for how long, but he knows. David knows who Maya is. He's been gathering information about her in this file." Max opened the file, and the whole teams breath hitched. "He knows that she's FBI, he knows that Carrie was apart of this team." He moved some of the top picture of Maya off the top of the folder to reveal what was below. "And he knows that you are all on her team as well." There were pictures of the whole team in there.

"Where is she." Lucas demanded to know.

"I don't know. She and David went out this morning. We had put a plan together, me and her, to get into his office and see what all he was really up to. He was talking about putting his big plan together today and then leaving to California with Maya and me." Max explained.

"Did you find out what it was?" Zay asked. Max nodded and opened up the other folder, revealing all of David's plans.

"Anthrax." Max stated.

"What?" Farkle asked, his face going pale.

"Are you sure?" Josh asked him. Max nodded.

"And a lot of it. That's what he made his drug the Widower out of. He mixed it with anthrax. He's planning on taking it and placing it all over buildings in New York with bombs. Exploding it in the air and taking out not only the buildings but everyone in the city as well." Max told them. "He's somehow been able to get his hands on 50 grams."

"50 grams? Farkle, how deadly is that?" Zay asked him with slight panic in his voice.

"Two grams is enough to kill a quarter of a million people." Farkle stated. The whole team suddenly felt panic come on them.

"No wonder people have been dying when they take this drug. They've been injecting themselves with poison." Lucas stated.

"Does this folder reveal all of his plans?" Josh asked him.

"I don't know, Maya told me to bring it over to you as fast as I could." Max told him.

"It says right here what buildings he's targeting, it just doesn't say where." Farkle said as he had picked up the folder and was looking through it.

"Alright, here's what we're going to do. Lucas, Farkle and Mia, I want you guys to take this folder and look through it as fast as you can in the car on your way to these buildings. Call local police departments and detective agencies, we're going to need all the help we can get." Josh told them.

"Shouldn't you evacuate the City?" Max asked them. Lucas shook his head.

"No way, that would caused a wide spread of panic and everyone would be racing to get out of the city." He told him.

"We also don't want David to suspect that we're on to him. He might tell his boys to pull the trigger early before we have any time to do anything about it." Zay told him.

"Zay, you and I are going to try and find Maya." Josh said as he looked over at Zay, who nodded. "We need to be fast yet smart, David just went from being a federal criminal to a terrorist, and we could be looking at the biggest attack since 9/11." Josh told them.

"If he wants to be known as a terrorist, we'll treat him like one." Farkle said, darkly. Josh eyed him for a moment before nodding his head.

"Move out." He told them, and Lucas, Farkle and Mia set off at once. "Smackle I need you to get into as many cameras as you can with a list of buildings that Farkle is going to call out to you. We need to know where these guys are planting the bombs and how many." Smackle nodded and headed out to her own office. "Max, Zay and I need to know anywhere that's special to David. Somewhere he might take Maya and hold her there."

"It would be somewhere secluded, somewhere only he would have access to that nobody else could even find unless he told them where it was." Zay stated. Max thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure. If you give me some time, I might be able to-"

"We don't have time." Josh cut him off. Max sighed and continued to think.

"Well, there's this old shack up in the woods area close by his property. He's uses it for all his shipment that comes in. He told me when he was younger, he had taken refuge in it whenever his parents fought." Max told them.

"Is it a place where nobody would be able to find it?" Josh asked him. Max nodded.

"It's pretty far in the woods, and as far as I know, I'm the only one that knows about it." He told them. Josh and Zay shared a look.

"We're going to need the address and specific instructions on how to get there." Josh told him.

"Let me go with you!" Max exclaimed. Zay looked hesitant to agree, but Josh on the other hand had flat out refused.

"No way. Maya sent you here to us to protect you. That's exactly what we intend to do. You can head down to Smackle's office and help her with the security cameras." He told him, but Max shook his head.

"Take me with you. I'll stay out of the way, but I need to go. Maya risked her life for mine... I owe her the same." He told them. "Look, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of David getting to me after I came to you. But Maya's really been there for me the last few months. I want to return the favor. So please, take me with you."

Josh sighed as he stared at the pleading face on Max's face. He looked over at Zay, who gave him a piercing look.

"No." Josh stated, finally. "I know Maya, and if something were to happen to you while we raided David, she wouldn't ever be able to forgive herself." Max looked crestfallen, and silence overtook them for a bit.

"We need the address." Zay spoke up. Max nodded and took a pen and paper from off Josh's desk and wrote down the address, handing it to Josh. Josh smiled at him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry. We'll have Maya back before you know it. David will be behind bars, and you'll be able to move on with your life." Josh told him. Max didn't say anything. "I'll get Smackle to come get you and take you to her office. You'll be safe there. Will need you to help the team out. You're the only one that knows David that well."

"Josh, we got to go man." Zay reminded him. Josh nodded and squeezed Max's shoulder before he walked out behind Zay.

Hang in there, Maya. Josh thought. We're coming.
