Rudrig frowned as he listened to Rose. "Headquarters. But why would they want to grab Freya?" That didn't make any sense. Freya was just another agent and unless she broke the rules she wouldn't be arrested.

Benjamin and Mike examined Freya for a moment. It was odd to see her so defensive. What did she have to fear? Or was she stealing and had they caught her in the act? 
"We're not here to take you," Benjamin said. "Why would someone take you? Are you stealing all that?" He noticed his phone buzz and he quickly looked at the message. 
"We're just here for the gems," Mike added, showing the one he had found. "Harriet is the one collecting them, they are dangerous for humans. If you give them to us, we'll make sure they end up with Harriet." Although he wouldn't give it to her; that was for Ben or Ethan.
