Complete story — includes the ending

The FBI asks Michael to do them a favor by tracking down a key witness in a murder trial, a good guy who ran for his life and disappeared after the criminals he’s testifying against sent an assassin to kill him right before a hurricane. Thinking it will be the best way to find the guy, Michael goes looking for the assassin and gets dragged into working with him as a rival assassin, while he and the team get creative to pass updates to each other on locating the witness. Michael loses his cover when the real rival assassin shows up, so he appeals to his captor’s better nature to get everyone out alive. Also, with the Bible in hand, and trying to stay in control of the investigation, a miniature fight breaks out between Michael and Vaughn over whether he should let Michael meet with Simon, a fight he wins by using his FBI friends to force Vaughn’s hand.
