Billy was beginning to feel his back being more debilitating as he struggled to even get out of his bed. Gabe and Rory worked hard to get the money they needed to update the regen tank with his hacking services. Luka and the others worked diligently with espionage and taking hits as hired mercenaries. For the first time in many years, Sector 24 was getting money and a lot of it. They didn't stop when they got the regen tanks, they continued as they started to update everything they could. The medical bay was equipped with six regen tanks, twelve med-beds, one for each soldier.
Billy had the luxury of being the first in the new regen tank, the only problem was he had to be killed and his back broken before he could be put back in. "So how do you want to do this?" Billy asked, confused, as he sat naked. "We have to kill you." Dr. Isaac stated. "I don't like that idea." Billy stated as Luka stood there. He pulled his gun and shot him in the head. Dr. Isaac jumped back as he looked over at Luka. Billy's body falling back onto the table with a bullet wound between his eyes. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Dr. Isaac asked in shock. "What? You needed him to be dead." Luka stated. "Yeah, there are a lot cleaner methods. I have brain all over here now!" Dr. Isaac shouted. Luka shrugged his shoulders. "It got him to shut up. Now do you need help breaking his back too?" Luka asked as Dr. Isaac looked at him. "Just get out of here Novak. I don't need any more mess from you." Dr. Isaac stated as Luka shrugged again and walked out.
Luka sat in his small office working on updating his information in the transceiver from his missions as Billy came in and punched him hard. "That's for shooting me in the fucking head!" Billy shouted as Luka grabbed his face as Billy walked out to grab a shower. Luka looked at the blood coming from his nose as he grabbed his nose and adjusted it back. He grabbed some tissues and held his nose. "I did him a favor, fuck." Luka mumbled and he continued to work.
Sector 24 was starting to get itself a reputation running through the veins of the SSP factions. The name was being heard more. They were becoming known for their abilities to adapt to any situation. The men worked well with each other and worked well alone. The misfits were finally finding their time to shine. The rules were starting to change, and leniency was happening. As more money came in and more things were updated, and with both Elite and Bravo teams running in two dimensions and sometimes together, they needed more help, and finally decided they really did need help for Jensen.
Luka and Kyle came back from grabbing a beer as the elevators doors opened up to Sector 24. Jensen stood with another man as the two walked in. "There they are." Jensen stated as the man turned around. Luka and Kyle stopped in their tracks. "Director Salazar?" Kyle asked in shock. "What the hell?" Kyle asked as he looked at Jensen. "I needed help, and we hired him." Jensen admitted. "You have Kyle-Ryker Wheeler working here." Javier stated. "Yes, he was our second to come into the facility. Our first was him." Jensen stated as he pointed to Luka. Javier looked at him confused. "You look familiar." He stated as the men stood there. "Dempsey? Alex Dempsey...or Demidov?!" Javier asked as Luka looked at Kyle. "It's Luka Novak actually, but Alexei is in there." Kyle admitted. "I thought Demidov escaped." Javier stated. "He did. He just found me later, shot me and brought me here. Now he goes by Luka Novak." Kyle stated.
