Gabe got focused.

“I’m sorry? She’s gunning for Elizabeth and you?”

“She has someone on the inside. That’s the only way she could have any of the intel. She ratted out the Snakes to El Gato. She passed on intel about Remington to him. She’s up to her eyeballs in it.”
“Is Elizabeth sure?”
“Yes, and worse, she thinks the guy on the inside is the Director of the CIA.”
Oh, boy.
That was bad.

“Yes. We can’t handle that. You have to do it, Gabe. You know that Elizabeth is seldomly wrong about things like this.”
He was aware.
“I’ll handle it.”
She appreciated that.

He didn’t hesitate.

“Just asking,” she said. “I’ll let you go. I have to get to NOLA. I’m going to be out of the office tomorrow. I’ll be remote if you need me.”
“Just handle the situation if you don’t mind. Please.”

The?
Hell?
“Sure, Mr. President. Sorry to bother you at this time of the night.”
