Richard Bennard Home , his wife Meredith and his daughter were all in his safe apartment . Everything so far , so good. But did he feel safe ? Did they feel safe ? Ask yourself when you' re being hunted , how much protection would it take to make you feel safe ? Richard still had to take a shower , but as he was about to walk to the bathroom , his private cell phone began to ring .
' Is there any news ?', Home began the conversation .
' You know what you have to do , right ?', Fitch said in an formal but deep tone .
' Is it that bad ?'
' We believe, you won ' t last three more days . Can we build on you? Can we trust you to protect the greater good?'
' Where ?'
' It has been confirmed that Mitch Crowne was seen in the Keys via satellite images . '
' Exact location ?'
' At the international airport . '
' So, we can assassinate him when he heads towards DC. '
' You know how well he was trained. '
' Indeed' , Home said after some hesitation .
' This is our final call Home . Your legacy will not be forgotten . '
' Thank you sir. For giving me a chance to make America safe again. '
' You be good Richard. '
Richard sighed deeply . It' s funny , his wife normally used to be the only person that called him Richard. She was sleeping after taking her medicine. His daughter was in the living room. Home decided to take that shower .
Reddington ' s hideout , Burdines waterfront,
Florida keys , 8 February 2010
Mitch returned to the hideout after his practice . It was a long day, a strange day . Not that often he meets someone that finds a way to take his interest . Then he practised his skills for a few hours . He was ready to take the shot. But , before he entered the house , he heard some noise coming from a different direction. It came from the garage. Mitch crept towards the smaller building and found out that the door was open . So to speak , he noticed the two henchmen holding guard at the house. To keep them inside probably. Which meant they were amateurs , they could have known that Mitch wasn ' t inside the house yet. He entered the garage . It wasn ' t complete dark inside . There was one of the SUV ' s parked inside . Behind it, there was a hatch. Light found its way from beneath it. The hatch was also not locked. Mitch opened it slightly. He didn ' t notice anyone except the stairs . Mitch entered the basement without making any noise . The only noise he heard , was almost loud enough to hear .
Cherikov was strapped in a chair in the middle of the room. He was punched multiple times on his face before Reddington came downstairs to question him. Dembé was the only other person in the room . The man that worked on Cherikov' s appearance left before Mitch entered the garage. They missed each other by seventeen seconds to be precisely.
' So, I heard you were ready to share some valuable information' , Reddington said as het took a seat opposite him .
' You need to promise me something. . '
' I ' m not in the position to make any promises . We passed that moment at the bridge. '
' Fuck you and your organization Reddington. You will never succeed. '
' You have no idea . In fact , it' s not of your concern . '
Dembé noticed a shadow coming from the other side of the door. Maybe , it wasn ' t even a shadow , perhaps it was a spider or something. But he noticed something moving at the other side .
' Alan Fitch, he ' s the person you' re looking for . That ' s all I know. . ' , Cherikov said.
' How do I know you' re telling the truth?'
' It ' s all that I know. Richard Home is also part of it. But he addresses to Alan Fitch . He' s your man . He' s the asshole you need to talk to. '
' You know what , I believe you' , Reddington said with a smile . Then he grabbed his gun and shot Cherikov in his head .
Reddington ' s hideout , Burdines waterfront,
Florida keys , 8 February 2010
Mitch met Robert and Eveline before they were instructed by Reddington. Robert and Eveline went into one room, so it appeared like they were making love. But Robert managed to get into another room and locked its door. Then he acted like he was Mitch so that Reddington' s henchmen wrongfully got the idea that Mitch was back inside.
' Now you know how we managed to keep you out , what did you find out ?' , Eveline asked curiously.
' I know very little' , Mitch lied. ' Richard Home is the person responsible for killing Sandra and her husband . That ' s what matters. Cherikov did break and he was killed by Reddington . What they discussed , I don' t have a clue . Far as I ' m concerned, it' s neither our business . '

Sibranski was Reddington ' s joker. Sibranski would make the mission or break it. He learned the escape routes since he worked as guard in the hotel for the past months. He got to know Home ' s escape plan in detail via Reddington . He was instructed to act when the shot was fired. Else why , it would appear to suspicious. Home was not stupid in the end. Sibranski was near Home ' s apartment in a secret service costume. Part of Home ' s security plan as high official in the government, was the protection from the president ' s own men. However , the person whose name was Jonas McGee, was not in his attire that afternoon. Sibranski poisoned the agent while he left home . Sibranski hit in the back of his car and before McGee was able to drive , he was out of conscience . Maybe for good, maybe temporarily . That was up to the condition of his heart .
