During the entire trip back to Leena's, John found himself running what they had just been told over and over in his head. Not only were they at risk from a rogue former Warehouse agent, but they had also found out that the man they had come to trust with their lives every time they went out on a retrieval mission had once been arrested for treason. For selling secrets to the Soviets.
He knew the world was different now that it had been back then, but he remembered what it was like in the era of the Cold War. To know that Artie could have done something like that... It was a lot to digest, and he could only imagine what Regan was going through, finding this out about her father.
When they got back to the boarding house, he and Cait invited everyone to their room, where John sat on the bed, his arm wrapped around his wife. The file that Artie had given them before they had left was sitting in front of them, but none of them touched it.
"I don't know," Fred said softly in response to Pete's question. "I mean...he's still Artie, right? The stuff he did...that was almost forty years ago. That's not the same man we know now."
"He should have told us, though," Myka responded. "I mean...not just because of McPherson. What if someone else who knew had somehow come into the picture and sprung this on us?" She sighed and looked over at Regan. "I'm sorry. I know he's your father."
John rubbed his hand over the bottom of his face. "The thing is, we know, but does this really change our relationship with him now?"
