Scorpion: A New Member

Chapter 69: Its finally over

SYLVESTERS POV
I look at Meghan confused and slightly scared.
"Ok we're on our way back now." Happy says, through the IPad.
"Please tell me your not riding in another fucking FedEx truck." Meghan questions, annoyed for some reason, probably hormones.
"If I told you we weren't, I'd be lying." Walter responds.
"Just get here quickly." Toby says, demandingly. Meghan turns around in her desk chair.
"Ok so we have the gun, but we still don't know who shot the president." She says, running her hands through her curly hair, one hand on her stomach.
"Well then how about we go find out." Toby suggests running out of the room. Meghan sighs.
"Ok." She responds getting up and slowly walking over to to wherever Toby is going.
"Oh no." I whisper, following them. We walk out to where the president and senators are all talking. I can't understand a word they are saying because it's all in Spanish, but Toby and Meghan are trying to analyze them.
"I can't get anything, these people are trained liars, and to make things worse, I have no idea what they are saying." Toby says, with a very concentrated look on his face.
"I understand what they're saying, but it's nothing incriminating." Meghan responds, looking concentrated as well.
"Shit shit shit shit shit, Toby, Sly move over here." Meghan says pulling us over to a corner.
"See those guys over there?" Toby and I nod.
"Well the man in the grey and blue tux just said 'el plan funcionó' which means 'the plan worked' in Spanish and the man in the red and grey tuxedo said 'quién es el siguiente' which means 'who is the next one'." Meghan continues.
"So he's the one who killed the president." I clarify, Meghan nods in response.
"Is he even here with one of the presidents?" Toby asks.
"I believe he is apart of the Mexican senate, but I have a feeling he didn't get the presidents permission to kill Danilo." Meghan responds. Toby thinks for a while then says
"Ok, I have an idea, back to the room." We all walk back to the small room.
"What's your plan?" I ask Toby, who is standing by a table.
"Take this phone, which I stole from the man in the grey and blue tux." Toby instructs, throwing me the phone, I just barely catch it.
"They texted '¿terminado?'" I read aloud.
"That means 'finished?' or 'completed?'." Meghan translates.
"Reply 'confirmed'" Toby suggests.
"No reply 'ok'" He corrects himself.
"Uh guys?" Meghan tries to interfere buy Toby continues talking.
"No reply 'ok, confirmed' no 'done'" Toby continues.
"Guys..."
"No just 'confirmed', just send 'confirmed'." Toby finally settles on confirmed, so I send it.
"Guys!" Meghan shouts.
"What?" Toby asks.
"I was trying to tell you that they may have sent 'confirmed' in response, but don't you think they would have sent it in Spanish? You idiots." She replies, rubbing her head, because of our stupidity.
"Shit." Toby says, under his breath. We hear foot steps walking towards our room and we all start to panic. Walter, Paige and Happy run into the room.
"We have the gun." Happy says handing Meghan a brown paper bag.
"Nice." She says taking the gun out of the bag. We hear heavier foot step coming towards the room, I look around to make sure everyone is here. Everyone is here, except for Cabe, but these footsteps are much heavier then Cabe's. A large man walks in and charges at all of us. Happy jumps on his back and puts the bag that was holding the gun, over his head.
"Sly hit him." She demands. I hesitate, then try to knock him out, but it doesn't work.
"Oh my freakin God." Meghan says stepping in front of me and knocking the man unconscious, instantly, with one swing. We all look at her in disbelief.
"What don't look at me like that, you have seen me do that before. Nothing new." She responds. She takes a gun out of the mans pocket and takes the other one off the desk, she eyes them both suspiciously.
"Yep they match." She says, nodding. Happy jumps off the mans back and stands up next to Toby. None of us can carry the man, so we just leave him there. We exit the room and explain everything to Cabe. Cabe gets a few homeland guys to carry the man out of the room and take him to jail. We all check on the Dominican Republic president, and he is doing much better, luckily the spot where he was shot was not fatal. After a while, we are all able to go back to get on the plane and go back to LA. Cabe drives us down to the airport, his phone beeps while we are driving and he looks at it. A strange look appears on his face.
"Bad news guys, our flight has been delayed 12 hours, due to a severe thunderstorm surfacing over LA." I check the clock, it's 12am now,that means we can't get onto the plane until 12pm tomorrow.
"Fantastic." Happy says sarcastically.
"I know a nice hotel, just a few blocks from here." Meghan informs Cabe.
"Perfect, where?" Cabe responds. Meghan directs him to the road. When we get there we exit the car and enter the hotel. I wouldn't exactly call it a 'nice' hotel, the foundation is cracking, the paint is chipping and the lobby smells like mildew.
"What a great hotel." Toby says sarcastically.
"You guys are just spoiled, in Puerto Rico there isn't exactly many hotels or houses that haven't been hit by a hurricane, at least not for a few miles. I do admit that when I came here, a while ago, it was a little nicer." Meghan responds, looking around. We get a second level room, the room is much nicer then the lobby. The room is big, with three beds and couch that pulls out into a bed. Paige and Walter share a bed, Toby and Happy share a bed, Meghan gets the other bed, I get the pull out and Cabe sleeps on a recliner. It's been a long day and we all fall asleep quickly.
