"Stay still," Gisele muttered. "I'm almost done."
Tanya sat on a stool, eyes droopy, not even hissing in pain from the cloth dabbing the cut's on her face. Staying completely silent as her gaze stayed fixated ahead of her.
"Pulled anything from the camera footage, Han?" She asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing yet," he replied. "If we can't get anything here we might have to try and go to the CCTV and get direct footage from there."
"Tej, can you not hack into there and grab the footage?" She asked as the man typed on his laptop.
"I've been trying but I can't," Tej said. "I keep meeting a damn firewall."
"What do you mean?" Tanya mused, softly grabbing Gisele's hand and pulling it away.
Tej grabbed his laptop and came over. Placing it down on the table beside her and showing the screen. He typed through the script of the system, doing what he does.
Finishing, the screen went black with a message popping up a digital hooded finger with text above the figure's head laughing. A rather strange and foreign sight that wasn't completely unfamiliar to the girl. Taking her back to when she first joined the D.S.S. and had been tasked to take out those gunrunners.
"What does this mean?" She asked with her eyes lifting to Tej.
"It means that someone's blocking me out," he said. "And they're damn good at it too. I'm trying to track the source, but they keep covering their tracks constantly."
Tanya sighed as she turned her head towards Gisele, allowing her to continue cleaning the wounds. There was some light conversation amongst the team. None that Tanya indulged herself in listening to. Focused on what they would do next and if there was anything they could pick apart from their encounter tonight to act upon. But deep down, Tanya needed sleep and would take that over staying at this safe house.
"This is crazy," Roman said. "We are not in Brazil. So now we got cars flying in the air on some 007 type shit? This is not what we do!"
"Man, you really gotta check that emotion," Tej complained. "Your voice just went from Shaggy to Scooby-Doo. "This is not what-"
A smile bit at the corners of Tanya's lips as Tej began howling like a dog. Han and Gisele try to contain their laughter.
"See, man, when a woman starts shooting at you, that's a clear sign to back the fuck off!" Roman exclaimed. "We need to get the hell out of dodge. That could've been my forehead, man."
