She considers, and looks over at Lex. They haven't been assigned 'guard duty' yet. It would be the logical choice to send one of them with Brittany--or both, one to go openly, the other perhaps not so openly. "Always keep a few surprises tucked away," one of her FBI co-workers used to tell her.

Tom interjects. "Harry Pearce was my former supervisor at Five. I had to shoot him when I made my break. We've not truly spoken since. My former colleagues, Danny Hunter and Zoe Reynolds, have both left the Service. The only people I still know there won't be high enough to get anything done."
