==History==
Before she was taken into custody, Faith ambushed the convoy from a rooftop and told Kate to head for [[Mercury]]'s hideout. But soon the hideout was ambushed by [[PK]] forces. She was then taken hostage by Jacknife and was taken by him to the Shard. When Faith arrived at the roof of the Shard, Kate was knocked out and thrown into a helicopter, in which Faith kicked Jack out, sending him to his death. She fell out of the Black Hawk after Jack shoots the pilot, and grabbed the side of the building. She was pulled up by Faith where they shared one last hug together just before the credits roll.
