Eli couldn't sleep.He lay in the bed. The room was dark. The motel was quiet. But his mind was racing.The spy. The Network. The listening device.Someone was watching them. Someone was reporting back. Someone was betraying them.He needed to find out who.He got up. He walked to the window. The city was dark outside. The streets were empty.He thought about everyone. Lena. Anya. Elena. Ruiz. Cove.No. Not Cove. Cove would never betray him.But then again, he had thought the same about Adrian.He turned away from the window. He looked at the bed. Cove was asleep. His face was peaceful. His breathing was slow.Could it be him? Could Cove be the spy?No. That was impossible. Cove loved him. Cove had sacrificed everything for him.But so had Adrian. And Adrian had been lying the whole time.Eli shook his head. He was being paranoid. He was seeing enemies everywhere.

Cove was waiting when Eli walked through the door.His face was pale. His eyes were red. He looked like he hadn't slept in days."Where have you been?""I found the spy."Cove's face changed.

They funded Victor. They funded the Project. They funded everything.""Who are they?""Senato

The car was dead.Eli sat in the driver's seat. His hands were shaking. His heart was pounding."We need to move."Cove was beside him. His face was pale. His eyes were wide."Where do we go?""I don't know.""We need somewhere safe.""I know.""Where?""I don't know."Alfred was in the back seat. He was quiet. Too quiet."You know places," Eli said. "Safe houses. Hideouts. Somewhere we can go.""I know places. But they're not safe anymore.""What do you mean?""The Network knows everything. They know every safe house. Every hideout. Every place we've ever been.""Then where do we go?""I don't know."Eli slammed his hand on the wheel. "This is impossible.""It's not impossible. We just need to think.""We don't have time to think.""We have to make time."They sat there. The city was dark outside. The streets were empty.Then Cove spoke."Lena.""What?""Lena has a safe house. A place we've never been. A place no one knows about.""How do you know?""She told me once. A long time ago
