"I know where you hide, Cooper."

Cooper's radio crackled to life, and stayed that way. Cooper immediately stopped what he was doing on his computer and backed up as he tried to hear through the static.

"Pardon?" As confused as he was, he didn't like what he could hear of the other individuals' voice. "Who are you?"

"You know who I am." The voice said. "I've got your girl. You know who she is too."

Cooper paused. It took him half a minute to realize he wasn't even breathing and struggled to take a breath through his shock. He didn't think he should respond. He thought about signing off and turning the device off completely. However, he full well knew an agent wouldn't be able to get through to him in an emergency, he chose to press forwards.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about." The static began to clear. "I also know your forbidden name."

"That's enough." Cooper found himself raising his voice. How did this, individual, get through to his radio?

"I believe you also know where I'm hiding. Or you soon will."

Cooper didn't respond for a second. He tried to wrap his head around this being and how they were able to contact him. Just now contacting him after all these years. "I don't know what you're playing with here, but you know full well she's gone. If you think I'm going to track you down to find out, you're dead wrong."

"Suit yourself. But you will. I know you. And you know this." The radio then went back to complete static. Cooper changed the frequency back to what he had before. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. He wasn't prepared for his life to be put back on the line again.

He shut down his computer and the lights came back on. He knew if any word of this was spoken to any of his agents or staff, they wouldn't leave him alone on whether or not he was okay. They would worry more than focusing on their work. Cooper decided to keep everything on a low profile until he was able to figure something out or until he was able to find their location. Only one car out of the entire faculty was trustworthy enough for Cooper.

"Finn McMissile to Cooper's office. Agent McMissile to Cooper's office." Cooper spoke through the intercom. he rarely used the intercom. It was only used for emergencies, such as issuing a possible lockdown or for the agents to gather somewhere. In this case, for Cooper's well being, it was an emergency.

A minute passed and Finn was in the doorway of Cooper's office. Finn realized it was an emergency. Cooper issued him closer and he shut the door behind.

"I'm going to be straight with you, Finn." Cooper said, flatly. "A minute ago, I believe a member of my family contacted me over radio."

Finn looked at him in disbelief. "Your family?"

"Yes. They mentioned knowing where I 'hide', and that they have my girl. Which I have no idea how. She died."

"That is very strange." Finn looked off to the side. "Is there any chance they are talking about someone else you know?"

"No. I had no one in my life other than her. I can't think of anyone else they could be speaking about."

"You know I'll stay by your side no matter what." Finn said, trying to reassure him a little.

"Yes, I know Finn. However, I cannot take things lightly now as I have done. I have to be wary of everything, especially at home."

"If you need, you can always stay with me for a few nights." Finn offered. "I have a guest bedroom and I am definitely no where near where you live."

"Thank you, Finn. I'll see how everything goes until tonight. I'd hate to bring danger to you though."

"Nonsense. What would your family want with me? I assure you, I will be fine."

The hesitation and look on the Cadillac's face told Finn he was still worried. It also reminded Finn of the unspoken rules of relationships Cooper bided by religiously. Even friends, can be carnapped and used against you.

"Listen, Cooper. Please do not worry. They most likely are trying to get to you. They want you to worry. I'm sure everything will turn out fine, as long as we keep track of our surroundings."

"Yes, I suppose you're right. I overthink things too often." Cooper took a breath and looked off to the side. Finn had a great way with words.

"With you, Cooper, sometimes it leads to good." Finn smiled. "Don't worry, it will be fine. As I said, I believe they are trying to get into your head."

The closer the evening came, the more that blue CTS dreaded going home. He had heard nothing more on his radio that day, but he couldn't stop thinking that they knew where he lived. He thought about getting a hotel room for the night when Finn stopped by his office.

"Everything alright so far?" Finn asked.

"Yes, Finn." Cooper sighed. "I'm still debating with myself."

"As I've said, you're welcome to stay with me."

"I know, however, I think I will try to head home. See how it is. Maybe I can figure out where they are."

Finn knew Cooper was stubborn when it came to putting his life in front of others'. "If you need me, you know what to do." Finn said. "Good luck, Cooper."

Cooper smiled a little as the Faultless disappeared from his doorway. It almost seemed as if Finn was giving him a mission this time.

I'm taking different ideas for how to continue 'Sailing Past Expectations'. So far, all I have is that they are headed to Greenland. I have the ending in mind but it's getting to the scene I have in mind. Heck, they could be attacked by a Megalodon. I just need ideas to boost my block back into gear
