Soon after the mysterious woman left, guards in heavy armor rushed into her cell. Thana quickly put on her orange jumpsuit and tied the sleeves around her waist, knowing that she was mostly going to be taken somewhere. The guards pointed their guns at her and she raised her arms, keeping her hands where the guards could see them. One more guard stepped into the room, wheeling in a metal wheelchair with leather straps attached to it to keep her restrained. Knowing the drill, she sat in the chair and let them strap her in without a fight. She was wheeled out to a courtyard in front of a table full of guns and assorted bladed weapons, next to a restrained, yet standing, Floyd Lawton. He looked down at her, "The hell are you in a chair for?"

Thana shrugged to the best of her ability. A man in a baseball cap, Rick Flag, stepped forward. "All right, unlock them."

Griggs looked at him shocked, "What?"

Rick put his hands on his hips, "You heard me."

Griggs gestured to the two assassins with his mug, "You know what these two can do?"

"I'm here to find out." The Colonel's southern drawl dripped with annoyance, "Lose the restraints."

Griggs nodded to one of the guards. The guard stepped forward and unlocked the handcuffs on Floyd's wrist before unbuckling all the straps keeping Thana in place. Floyd shook out his arms saying a snarky thank you before walking up to the table, "What is this?"

Thana stood up from the wheelchair rubbing her sore wrists, "Obviously cheerleading tryouts."

"Let's go. Let's see what you can do."

Griggs looked at Floyd, "They say you never missed a shot. Prove it."

Floyd picked a gun off of the table and raised it in the air as Thana ran her hand gently over the assorted blades. He picked up a mag and clicked it into the gun.

"Now you got one in the chamber." Rick looked at him with his arms crossed. "What cha' gonna do with it?"

Floyd turned around and aimed at Griggs' head. Thana exhaled a snort of amusement from her nose at the panic the guards had over a gun, turning to face Floyd and the others.

"Shit!" Griggs exclaimed.

"Give me the word, boss." One of the guards aimed their pistol at Floyd's temple. "I'll drop him."

"Everybody calm down." Rick yelled, "Griggs, tell your men to stand down."

"Tell them to put it down." Floyd whispers mockingly.

"Stand down!" Griggs ordered and pointed at Flag, "Colonel, for the record, this is exactly

what I was concerned about!"

"He's not the one you should be concerned about." Thana grabbed a knife from the table and started twirling the blade around her knuckles, "You should be more concerned about the one you've been sexually harassing to compensate for your sorry excuse of a sex life."
