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.
