I can feel the rush of victory as we stand victorious over the fallen cartel members. But I know this is just one battle in a much larger war. I break down my rifle and turn to my team, ready to face whatever comes next.

Geek4life: Thank you.

LoneWolf99: For?

Geek4life: Keeping them alive. I saw what was happening. Though, I don’t appreciate that you deleted the footage off the security cameras.

LoneWolf99: It had to be done. I don’t want them to know there’s a third party.

Geek4life: They know someone is helping—or trying to kill them.

LoneWolf99: Keep saying you can’t find any records.

Geek4life: That’s the deal.

LoneWolf99: Where’s Seth taking Teddy?

Geek4life: San Francisco. They’re staying in one of the safe houses while we figure out what to do next.

LoneWolf99: They shouldn’t hide for long, or the Zs will go off the grid.

Geek4life: And that’s bad because…?

LoneWolf99: They regenerate and go hunt their enemies. They’re like a Lernaean Hydra. I’m concerned because Ricardo Zamudio is sending his men, and he’s not here. We might have to figure out a way to hunt him.

Geek4life: As long as this doesn’t become the 12 labors of Hercules, I’ll help you.

LoneWolf99: It should be simpler, but I need more intel. We’re trying to recover some of the electronics they left behind in Portland.

Geek4life: We might have a few phones and tablets from the massacre. I’ll check the locker and see what I can gather.

LoneWolf99: You should come and work for me.

Geek4life: I’m my own man.

LoneWolf99: Somehow, I doubt it.

Geek4life: I do contracts.

LoneWolf99: You also work directly for The Organization.

Geek4life: I have to.

LoneWolf99: Let me guess, you trained in martial arts and are a musical genius?

Geek4life: Why do you ask?

LoneWolf99: Piper.

Geek4life: I guess if she trusted you with that, you’re not all that bad. How is she?

LoneWolf99: Fine.

Geek4life: No one has notified my family about her well-being. They’re worried sick. You keep saying to keep it quiet…

LoneWolf99: I’ll do it soon.
