Warning: Smut(Very little and kinda awkward, but it's there)

"Would anyone like tea?" Lin asked as she closed the door and walked toward the five women. "I have a wide assortment of herbs."

"What the hell is going on?" Marie asked.

"We were hoping the CIA would secure the drive in Paris. When that didn't happen, it was essential we reclaim it before it fell into the wrong hands." Just as she said that her father walked in from another room. "Pa." She acknowledged him. "My father convinced our bosses that this could be a larger opportunity."

"What kind of opportunity?" Khadijah asked, helping Mace settle down.

Lin stayed silent, walking to her table of computers and pulling up the auction tape. "I believe you met Pyotr Khasannov. If he can disrupt oil production in the middle east, his profits will skyrocket." Lin continued to list all the other criminals who attended the auction and their potential use of the drive. "There were many rogue players today. This was an opportunity to collect information on them."

"So this was all some kind of fishing expedition?" Khadijah stepped to Lin.

"Selling deadly intel to the highest bidder, just to see who's out there bidding?" Marie asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"We sold them nothing."

"What?" Marie furrowed her eyebrows.

"The drive is right here." Lin turned to her father, telling him to get it out.

"You killed Marks for that." Mace groaned as she got up.

"You knocked out the power?" Graciela asked. "The planes?"

"No. Marks did." She turned to Mace. "He was working with Nick." Mace took a step back, feeling betrayed, and backstabbed.

"I stopped him before they could do more. But, I couldn't get to Parker." She looked down.

"Parker?" Mace looked back at Lin.

"Yeah, she was there, too, but I ran away before she got to me."

"Parker is supposed to be in America." Mace shook her head.

"Yes, but Marks put her on your ops, she had been tailing you since Paris." Lin turned to her computer. "They were working for this man, Elijah Clarke, a known financier for international terror groups." Marie, and Khadijah both looked at Mace, who listened to Lin with her mouth hanging open. "The drive is safe now. The world is safe. You'll all be going home soon." Mace fell back into her chair. "It's done."

Elijah's house 

"Alright, I gave you the drive. Now let Parker go!" Nick impatiently waited in Elijah's hall. Bouncing his foot, and fingering digging into his palms as he stood between two armed bodyguards.

"You did get me the drive." Elijah nodded, walking out of his room.

"Where's Parker?" He asked again.

"Of course." He walked to a table nearby. He turned to the box sitting on the table, slowly opening it and pulling a gun out. "Your Parker." He said, turning around to show Nick the weapon in his hand.

Nick scoffed, "I got you the drive."

"No, you didn't," Elijah answered, walking down the stairs, "You got me a decoy, a 500 million dollar paperweight."

"They must have swapped it." Nick sighed. I'm going to kill Mace, myself, he thought.

Elijah nodded, looking at one of the bodyguards next to Nick, who nodded back and kicked Nick in the back of his knee.
