The system chimed.
“Tell Chris and Callen to be all over each other until we get back. I wantNONEof them leaving the building. Have Ivan double down on them.”
Maura needed to know.
“Do you need to go?” she asked. “We can handle this for you,” she offered.
Oh.
Hell.
No.
Elizabeth shook her head.
“No, they’ll handle it. I need to be here, looking for Devon, or this will never end.”
No one was shocked by that answer.
“Well, then, let’s start with this dude,” Maura stated. “Rogue, what did you find?” she called, and he came back into the room with a stack of money and some electronics.
“I’ll plug in, but this looks like the man does cash-only business. There’s a safe in there, but that will take me a little time to crack it.”
Maura jerked her head.
“Get into it. We aren’t leaving anything we can use behind,” she stated.
That worked for him.
He passed off the electronics to Gene and went back into the other room to get into that safe.
“Wake him,” Elizabeth stated, ready to get this done.
And Jagger did.
He punched him in the balls.
That was all it took, and the man’s eyes popped open, even as his mouth moved like a fish out of water.
It was showtime.
“Hey,” Elizabeth said, moving to stand in front of him. “We need to talk about a little bus and some explosives,” she said, going with that first.
The Huntersweren’t sure why she was going there.
But they let her.
As he sat there, the man couldn’t breathe, clearly, so he wasn’t saying anything to her.
She took his silence as not being cooperative.
Okay.
“Here’s how this is going to work. I’m going to start shooting you in your extremities,” she said, pulling the gun from her back, and cocking the slide. “You’re going to try to hold out, but in the end, you only have a limited amount of blood. I’m going to win regardless,” she said, shooting him in the foot.
Her movement was so smooth and fast that they all jumped, and the man screamed.
Someone wasNOTplaying.
