Rachel asks what is up and Anna responds only by wordlessly handing her the phone.		Rachel reflects on what happened again, then asks Anna who is driving the truck.

			Sometime later, Rachel recalls something happened to her in the air, and notes that it feels like she left part of herself up in the sky. She remembers feeling the concussion of the explosion, even as the ground materialized under her feet. For a moment, it felt to her as if she had a foot in both spots, and she landed a different person with a new life. Rachel also notes that it hurt a lot, and that she screamed over and over. Then, hands grabbed her and a diesel engine roared.

			Now, as Rachel still recovers from the shock of the explosion, she finds herself in the back of the truck. She is standing, holding herself up and watching the highway slip past. The faces of dead agents, some license plates, and road signs flash into Rachel's head as she focuses and turns around. The fugitives she helped rescue are all staring at Rachel in silence, and Rachel finds it a bit creepy. She asks them if she left part of her face on the side of the building, and Anna laughs. Most of the others smile and look down, but a few continue staring.

	Option 1C is confirmed by the story to be what actually happens, and also appears to be the optimal path where Rachel uses the bomb to stop some of the agents from pursuing the fugitives and allowing their escape. It is also possible that Rachel could teleport out safely in this option, whereas the other two options have Rachel get shot or the fugitives killed.		* Option 1C is confirmed by the story to be what actually happens, and also appears to be the optimal path where Rachel uses the bomb to stop some of the agents from pursuing the fugitives and allowing their escape.

			* The final page of this chapter again has a flash image of Rachel's desk. In this chapter, the spilled over pill bottles are still there but the photos on the desk have been changed to those of [[Danko]] and [[Claire Bennet\|Claire]]. On Friday, April 3, 2009, the phone began ringing again to coincide with the conclusion of the chapter that was added.
			==Trivia==
			* In the original version of chapter 408, released March 31, 2009, the chapter ended with Rachel pressing the detonator button and closing her eyes, and then the following prompt:

	A few moments later, team B starts firing from the upper-story windows of the building. Rachel aims at Klassen's back, but can't pull the trigger. She then notes getting a rush of adrenalin and time seems to slow for her. As smoke rises out of the alley and bullets tear into the truck, Klassen begins running toward the battle. Rachel then teleports in front of the commander and says hello. However, Commander Klassen cannot stop quick enough and his face winds up in Rachel's fist. He begins falling backwards and the detonator flies into the air. Rachel grabs the detonator just as Klassen lands on his back. As the commander sits up, Rachel takes hold of his collar and he asks what she is. Rachel replies that she is a monster and then closes her eyes.

	With a snap, Rachel teleports herself and the commander to twenty feet in the air above the fire escape. As they hang in the air, she notices ~~agent~~ leaning off the top platforms and out nearby windows. Rachel sees bullets flashing off the grimy alley walls, and that the agents' helmets are all facing away from them. They then begin falling, and she can make out a dozen or more of the fugitives' pale faces at the end of the alley. She notes to herself that there are men, women, and a child among them, and they alone see Rachel and the ~~command~~ flash into the middle of the sky.

	As the commander and Rachel fall next to the fire escape, Rachel looks at the bomb detonator in her hand, then at the agents around them. Then, in a moment where she feels sad and peaceful; Rachel lets go of Klassen, closes her eyes, and presses the button.

	With two minutes left before the fugitives move out, Rachel [[teleportation\|teleports]] herself back down outside the building and finds herself standing around the corner from the SWAT teams. She hears people talking, loading their guns, and applying their body armor, and realizes they are ready to proceed. Rachel walks around the corner and searches for the site commander, Commander Klassen. She notes to herself that Klassen is one of Danko's most trusted lieutenants, and recalls how he has been trying not to act smug since they arrived. Rachel thinks his act is strange since a lot of agents have been getting killed in operations like this, then realizes he knows he is going to kill the fugitives.

	An agent beside Rachel asks her if she is ready for some payback for Jason, and Rachel says she is. Rachel then watches Klassen twirl a finger in the air, and the squad ~~leads~~ begin calling out orders. Then, in one large mass, the SWAT teams head towards the target building. Rachel stays in one place, waiting for Commander Klassen.		An agent beside Rachel asks her if she is ready for some payback for Jason, and Rachel says she is.

Rachel stays in one place, waiting for Commander Klassen.

	At the one minute mark, Rachel spots the commander bringing up the rear with two aides carrying laptops and radios. She notes to herself that they should be in a field ops van, but Klassen decided he wants to go on foot. Rachel also thinks that though the troops think what is doing is for show, he actually wants to be on the ground so he can slip away and observe the supposedly "non-functional" fire escape.
