Fabricio cajoles Mia

~ Seattle ~

It was half an hour after midnight when Max got a call from Hunter.

Max picked up the call right away because he was not sleeping.

When Max and Liz returned from the safe house, Max helped Liz settle in bed and he waited for her to fall asleep before sneaking out of the bed.

Max's plan was to go to the safe house and continue interrogations (and return in the morning before Liz wakes up). He was in the living room, on his way out, when Hunter called.

Max didn't know that Hunter went for Portland, and he assumed that Hunter found something important from the people they captured.

"Can this wait? I'm on my way.", Max told Hunter as soon as he picked up the call.

Hunter understood that Max thinks that he is in the safe house. "I am in Portland with Mia and her dad."

Hunter's words made Max pause. "What are you doing in Portland?"

"Can you sit?", Hunter asked.

"What is going on?", Max said impatiently.
