“Well, there you go,” Trick smiles. “I’m going to ring Mr R and fill him in on the plan so far. He’s already texted me to see how it’s going; it’s obvious that he really cares about Quinn.”
“While you’re doing that, I’m going to call Carter and make sure he’s got the plane ready and that we should be heading out tonight,” Jynx adds as she pushes away from the table and stands up.
“The rest of us can’t really do anything until the guys have found the imagery,” Lyric says.
“Sorry, like the second location, it's taking a bit of time to get the imagery. We’re currently working together to hijack one of the satellites,” Ace explains, still typing away.
“But at the same time, not show that we’re there because I don’t think even Mr R would be able to get us out of trouble if we were caught using it,” Pete adds, “and because of that, it’s taking us a while to do.”
“Is it going to be done by this evening?” Ezra asks them.
Ace nods, “Absolutely, but it will take us a few more hours.”
“Got it.” He replies, with understanding, that we don’t want to cut any corners now, especially not with a job that’s so big and that personally affects us.
“Does everyone who needs their gear have it with them?” Rage asks.
“Yeah, it’s all in the car,” Jynx replies, “we’ve got Ezra and Creed’s stuff in our car too.”
“I’ve filled Noel, Marty, and Callen in on what’s happening. They’re getting their stuff ready, and they’ll meet us at the airport later.” Elijah adds as he looks down at his screen.
“Great. I have a feeling that we’re going to need all the help that we can get,” Luc replies.
“We definitely don’t want to take any chances, not with this one,” Ezra adds.
“No, we’ve got two of our own there. We won’t cut any corners and risk them,” Atlas confirms.
“Alright, Mr R has put Alaric in charge of all of the other teams and looped him into the Rylie and Quinn situation, which he had some knowledge of anyway. We’ve got to contact him when we’re leaving, and he’ll make sure that everyone is ready to meet us at the location. He’s also going to have all of the breathing equipment for us. There is a limited number though, which changes how we’re going to be able to go into the property.” Trick explains as he walks back into the room.
“In what way?” Creed asks.
“Alaric and the other teams are going to surround the property and cover all the exits while we go in and get Rylie and Quinn. We'll all search the house and call the others when we find Rylie and Quinn. We're also going to be keeping an eye out for Hunt, and we’re going to have to check the air using our masks. We'll try and drive as many people out to the periphery team waiting outside, then we can call the back up in to get anyone else that’s in there,” Trick explains.
I nod, “That makes sense.”
“I hate to be the devil's advocate, but are we sure that Rylie is there?” Rip asks.
I nod, “Yes, her message said to come and get her, so we know that’s where she is, and it's not just a location that she wants us to check out.”
“Good,” Rip replies.
“Fuck, but there’s no way to know if Quinn is there,” Lyric suddenly exclaims, panic hitting her tone.
“Listen to me,” Atlas says firmly, stopping her panic in its tracks, “we will scour the place for him, and if he’s not there, I promise you that we will find him. We will not take on any other jobs until he’s found and home safe with you. It will become our number one priority.”
Lyric nods, clearly trusting Atlas, “Thank you.”
“He’s right,” Trick adds, “we’ll put everything else on hold until we find him, and we’ll use every advantage that we have because of our connection to the organisation.”
“And judging from Mr R’s reaction so far, we won't have to worry about him not allowing us to use the resources at the organisation to find him,” Jensen points out, having stayed reasonably quiet so far.
“Thank you,” Jonah replies.
“There’s no need to thank us. We know that you would do the same for us if we were in the same situation,” Rage replies.
We don’t really know what to do with ourselves while we wait for the guys to find the imagery of the location, and while Lyric and her guys end up sitting in the front room staring at some comedy on the TV and quietly talking along with Jynx, some of the others are spread all throughout the house doing various different things in order to keep themselves occupied. I'm not too fond of the waiting game. I want to get going, and I want to rescue them. I want to be doing fucking something because right now, I feel like I’m going out of my mind.
I sit in the front room for a bit before I get up and head to the weapons room and start cleaning weapons and taking inventory because we’re going to be taking a fair few of them with us. The only time I come out of there is to help Rafe with lunch and then dinner. I find that the methodical cleaning and sorting of the weapons is soothing and helps to keep my mind on something else.
