Operation: Bright Tablet

Denver's pov
I sat at the table and looked across at Aruni as she opened her mouth to start the negotiations for the surrender of Nighthaven to Team Rainbow and allied forces. I asked "to wait, how you do that right there?" She paused for a second before asking "do what?" I replied with a tone of annoyance "fucking up my whole day" I heard Grace next to me "were hear to set up our demands and get this over with, play nice dear" I sighed as Gates asked "what're your conditions?" Aruni started "well we want decent conditions for our men, basic human needs met and a cease fire between our forces" bear asked "are you gonna blow up another building?" I talked quietly with Grace and Hunter before Aruni asked "what are you talking about?" I heard Grace with venom dripping off her words "lots of gossip and talks of ripping your throat out" I chuckled softly as Aruni's hand cupped her throat. Harry said "enough, make this go smoothly." I asked in return "why are we even hearing these conditions? They're the terrorists, what happened to not negotiating with the terrorists" Aruni started "we're not terrorists"
Bear deadpanned "you blew up several buildings and killed innocent people, you know what that makes you? Terrorists" Aruni sighed as Harry said "Bear, Denver, take a step outside" I sighed and stood up as Grace did the same and Bear joined us as we walked out. I saw our divisions pulling security over the remainder of Nighthaven, I heard Bear "we shouldn't even be hearing those demands" I replied cheekily "we aren't hearing them, we're outside" Grace chuckled at bears expression before he said "you know exactly what the fuck I mean" I waved him off "don't worry about it, all that matters of Nighthaven lost and we win" I heard Grace "den has a point. The masks are losing a lot of man power and experience, they're already crippled. Plus you get to see Aruni and the officers in prison, it's a win win" Bear asked me "is that all you care about? Winning?" I looked over my shoulder and said "when it comes to Nighthaven? Yes" he sighed as i heard the door open and saw Erik slip out, Grace asked "how'd it go?" He said tiredly "they signed, Nighthaven is officially on its way to a maximum security prison"
I sighed and muttered "wish we could just shoot em and call it a day" I felt Grace pat my back "don't worry hon, you'll be able to shoot terrorists tomorrow" I heard Gates "my group will accompany the last of Nighthaven on their trip, you two head with rainbow back to the base. Well meet up with you later" I heard Erik ask "you sure your group can handle them on their own?" Gates replied "yea, there's only 30 of them and they're gonna be bound and cuffed to the seats" I shrugged and said "good enough for me" before I whistled the rally tune and waited for my division to line up infront of me. It only took about 45 seconds before they were lined up and at attention, I ordered "at ease, we're heading back to Hereford. Load up and double check gear, we roll in 5 mikes, check?" I get my confirmation and gave my order "go, shoo, why are you still standing here? Fuck off" I saw them start running as Grace said "you should be nicer to them" I looked to my left and said "they shouldn't be standing around like I didn't give them a time frame"
I saw Bear's unit doing the same with their trucks as Gates and her unit cuffed the Nighthaven operators and then lead them onto the plane. I commented "they're gonna have a fun time" I looked at Erik and asked "where are they going?" He replied "Russia" I shivered as Grace said "I hear it's lovely this time of year" I nodded and said "it's so comfortable" Erik said "wouldn't it be freezing? It's December" I replied half paying attention "I never said what it's comfortable for" he sighed and commented "smart ass" I asked the pair "are you riding with me?" Grace nodded as Erik said "yeah, rainbow is going by chopper but I've been in the air too much this week" I nodded and checked my watch "Oxide, where are you?" He replied over comms "2nd car in the convoy" I nodded to the pair before looking at Bear lifting my fist "stay safe" he gave me a fist bump and replied with a smile "that's all I am" I chuckled as I turned and my trio headed to the 2nd car in the convoy and climbed in. I keyed my mic "Denver group, Oscar Mike."
