They meet up with Harper and Crosshair and explain that they're going to do a mission to get a man for credits.
"So let me get this straight," Crosshair rolls his eyes. "We're bounty hunters."
"Technically, yes." Tech says with his index finger pointing upwards.
"How are we gonna get him? If he sees us then he'll already know and then run from us and make it harder." Wrecker said confusedly.
"Wow, you actually have a brain in there." Crosshair said surprisingly.
"Stow it, Crosshair." Echo said sternly.
He makes an annoyed sound.
"I have a plan," Tech says. Then points at Harper. "And you're going to be the main part."
"Really? Finally," Harper smirks. "About time you finally let me into these types of missions."
"And what is this so called plan of yours, Tech?" Echo asked as he crossed his arms. Both Hunter and Echo gave each other an understanding glance.
"He's not going to trust us as Wrecker said so that's where Harper comes in. She doesn't look threatening at all—"
"Wow. Thanks Tech."
"As I was saying before I got cut off, he wouldn't think of her as a threat so she can get close enough to him to get him by himself so we can capture him. Extremely easy."
Everyone looks towards Hunter.
"Well?" Tech lifts up an eyebrow.
"Well what," Hunter crosses his arms. "It's not happening. It could be too dangerous. I'm not risking her safety."
"Ughhh, just give me some freedom! I'm 16 stop treating me like I'm still 12!" Harper says annoyedly.
"He's right, you don't know people like we do. Not everyone in the galaxy is us." Crosshair says.
"We need credits though." Echo brings up.
"He's right." Wrecker nods his head.
"No." Hunter says coldly.
"But how am I ever going to prove myself if you don't ever give me a chance?" Harper says.
"I did give you a chance, when I let you get Crosshair back. I told you when I say 'come back' you didn't. Because you didn't listen you're staying on the Marauder with Omega." Hunter takes an intimidating step forward.
"But Hunta that's not fair. Why do I have to stay—"
"I'm not staying on the Marauder." Harper crosses her arms.
"Yes you are."
She ignores him.
"Let's go, guys." Harper says to the squad.
Tech and Wrecker give each other a glance then come but Echo, Hunter, and Crosshair stay there with their arms crossed. Omega stayed beside Hunter.
"Harper." Crosshair says, she looks over her shoulder.
"Grow up, Cross," She waved him off. "I can handle this. Watch me."
She stops then sighs.
"Please, give me one more chance. I'm capable." She says without looking back at them.
Hunter looks at Crosshair then Echo and sighs in defeat.
"Fine," He walks up to them. "This is how the plans gonna go."
————
"5 o'clock." Crosshair says into the comm from up above on a roof.
"I see him," Harper whispers. "I'm gonna go talk to him."
"Be very careful." Hunter says slowly.
"No duh." She makes her way over to him.
"Look who we have here. A little girl all by herself," He laughs. "Where's your parents, Huh."
He was smoking a cigarette.
"Uhhh." She keeps a straight face.
"This is going unbelievable horrible." Tech says to Echo who is beside him. He nods his head.
"Say something Harper." Wrecker says.
"Well?" The man says.
"They're...at home?" She guilty smiles.
"Interesting," he walks in a circle around her then stops in front of her. "Do you have any other family members?"
"Stow it, I should be asking you the questions."
"Hmm, and why is that?"
"Because..."
He tilts his head. Then chuckles.
"Follow me, kiddo."
He begins walking. She doesn't follow. He looks over his shoulder.
"You coming?"
"Yeah..." she slowly follows.
She looks up at the roof and sees Crosshair jumping on rooftops keeping up with Harper. Then she looks around and sees the rest of the batch making there way closer very slowly.
He starts walking down the alleyway.
"Don't go down there. Let Hunter and the rest of the squad capture him now." Crosshair says as he aims his sniper.
"I'll be fine, see ya in the other side." She mocked a salute then walks in there.
"Harper," Silence. "Ughhh!"
He slides down then runs towards the alleyway. It took around 10 minutes to get there, because they all made sure to keep their distance.
They all regroup together then take out their guns. Hunter nods to his squad then rush in. Everyone was gone...
