Wow" Stan sighed. He was stunned silent by everything that Lainey had been through and everything she had done.

"We gotta find him. For her sake" Mitch told his superiors. He shook his head "He has turned her life upside down and the longer we wait the more he does it" he told them

Irene nodded "We will Mitch, but right now she is our only option" she replied

"Do you really have to get her involved, she's been through so much?" Mitch asked

Although Lainey was more annoying then anything in the last 3 days she had shown more of herself to Mitch then she had to anyone in years, he didn't want her to suffer anymore. He wanted her to be finished with all of this

"We have no choice Mitch the chances of him replying to anyone but her are slim to none. So we wait and hope he calls back" Irene explained

"Come on" Stan scoffed
"When has Mitch ever been one to wait, I wouldn't be amazed if he was gone but tomorrow" He joked

"I'm not leaving her" Mitch shook his head

They all turned to look at him with shock. Mitch never listen to them, even on his first Job he ran ahead, he didn't listen once and now he was.

Mitch's jaw firm "You guys have me till you find a location" he nodded

"What's your deal with this one Mitch" an agent asked What's your goal" an agent asked again and everyone turned to him

Mitch doesn't blink as he responds "my goal is that he lies awake at night knowing I'm coming for him"

Loud sighs echo the room but that doesn't silence Mitch

"This man makes fortune off lethal weapons and dangerous drugs. He faked his death and left his wife helpless and scarred. That's selfish and wrong"
"He has left this woman to grieve his life!, to have consistent nightmares and god knows how much ptsd just so he can get money, well it's disgusting and he deserves a bullet through his brain" Mitch told them.

Mitch walked out full with rage and anger. No one understood her pain but him, he knew what it was like to have the endless nightmares, to flinch at the sound of something falling. To miss some one so much it almost Made life not worth living. He couldn't imagine if it had all been a lie. He sympathized with her, her related to her pain

"Rapp" Stan called out causing Mitch to stop I his tracks and turn around
"Come here a second" Stan asked

Mitch walked closer to Stan and crossed his arms over her chest

"This girl, why you so obsessed?" He asked

"I'm not obsessed sir, this is my job" Mitch told him

"You like this girl?" He asked

Mitch sighs frustratedly "No sir"

"Mitch, Don't Let it get personal" Stan ordered

He sighed "Yes sir" he nodded and walked away

Mitch walked into the kitchen and seen Lainey sitting at the table with a glass of water and a picture in her hand. He walked over and sat across from her

Lainey looked up with teary eyes "you know I had the worst morning sickness, I couldn't keep a thing down for days, and everytime I was in the bathroom he was too"  she explained, She let out small scoff "god he was excited when we found out it was a girl"

She wiped a tear away from her face "the night before the shooting, he made me promise that I would love him no matter what" she told him "I always so confused but now I get why"

She shook her head "god I'm sorry. You probably don't even wanna hear all this" she apologized

"I had a fiancé" Mitch admitted

"Had?" Lainey asked

"We took a trip to Ibiza a few years ago. We were swimming in the ocean and I proposed." He smiled a little at the memory of her "I walked to the beach to get celebratory drinks, I was at the bar when bullets had been shot from all directions. I ran, Well more limped to the water and seen she had been shot." He explained and felt his heart sink.

Lainey sat silently taking in his story. Her heart aching as he told her

"The terrorists shot me again and I fell to the sand, one of the terrorists shot her right in front me and she died" Mitch explained

He sighed "I went after the man Who killed her, I found him I killed him then the CIA found me"

It didn't matter how many years it had been the two knew what it was like to lose the only person they ever had and explaining it was the hardest thing they would do. Lainey had lost her version of Noah and Mitch had lost the only person he loved.

"I'm so sorry" Lainey apologized
"I'm so stupid" she sighed "all I've been doing is throwing it in your face that you didn't understand when all this time.."

"It's okay" he reassured "you didn't know"

"Thank you for trusting me with that" she smiled softly

"Well I figured since I know so much about you" he chuckled a little

"Do you have a picture?" Lainey asked

Mitch nodded, he was almost happy to show off Katherine. No one ever asked to see her before, the only people he had gotten to know was Irene and Stan along with some colleagues, but he never connected enough. He pulled out his wallet and took the picture of Katherine out.

Lainey looked at the small picture of the beautiful blonde. "She's beautiful" Lainey smiled.

Lainey pulled out a chain from under her shirt, she held a little ornament and in it was some of the Ella's ashes

"We agreed on the name Ella" she smiled.

Mitch looked up from the chain Ella and his eyes met with laineys. For a Moment the world stood still as they stared into each other's eyes.

Lainey felt her face warm up and quickly looked down. Mitch sat back in his seat, he reached out and hesitantly took Laineys hand "We are gonna catch him, I promise" he promised

"I know. I trust you" she nodded
