"We lost Ivory," Letty says as she and Jah walk into the hideout. "He's gone." Maya looks over at her sister to make sure that she is good causing Letty to give her a nod.

"Thanks," Owen says as he barely looks up from his plans.

"That's it?" Letty asks him with a sarcastic smile.

"If Ivory's dead, he made a mistake," Owen tells her before looking at her. "If you make a mistake, you pay the price." Maya lets out a sarcastic chuckle as she looks around.

"That's a great eulogy, Shaw," Maya says sarcastically. "Are you going to give the same speech for the rest of us when we go out?" Maya walks away before she starts working on her car. Owen follows after her a few seconds later after looking around at the team, who all had their heads down.

"You're the last one I'd pegged to be sentimental," Owen says as he walks closer to her. "I like you, Maya. I dare say I even feel a certain warmth towards you. When I found you in the hospital, and you couldn't remember anything, I said to myself." Owen moves some of Maya hair away from her face, causing her to tense up. "This girl has a gift. She's a blank page. And that made me feel somewhat protective toward you. If something happened to you, for instance, I think I might find it slightly harder to bear." Maya finally looks up at Owen. "What I'm saying is, I would hate to see you make a mistake." Maya slightly glares at Owen before moving her tools.

"I'm going to get some air," Maya tells him as she closes her hood.
