"If the big fish also involve and be there on the execution day, 10 of us might not be enough, as the big fish itself will have more people to cover him." I said to the team, yet here we are still meeting about the operation that will be held next week at the port.

"Here." Ryan handed me a glass of whiskey.

"Na, I'm good with coffee, I got a morning flight to Paris tomorrow." I raised my cup of coffee.

"I am quiet doubting if the big fish will be there in the port, as we know that they never step down from their throne." Said Ian added the conversation.

"But this time, the exporter might not do the transfer as the regulation will checking and audit the big amount of transfer within their bank account, they might paid with other stuff like checked or diamonds, who knows and the only chance if they are there, we can catch both of them." Ryan convinced us.

"All right, it's passing midnight, I call it off tonight, I will check their cargo movement if they already disembark, I will keep you guys updated." Ian stated and said goodbye to us, Martin and other also left and just me and Ryan still sitting here with our smoke.

"I keep thinking about next week at the port, 10 of us might not be enough, my feeling kind of ease." I gasped and hissed my smoke.

"I will ask Will to give us more personnel for our back up plan." Ryan added.

"You still babysit the princess?" Ryan looks at me.

"huh" I chuckled.

"You like her don't you?" Ryan teases me.

"Do I?" I asked him back.

"Cut the crap Brant, I know you, how you react with other women, only this time is different I could say."

"Different?" I smiled and thought about the word different.

"just admitted you like her, I could say that." Ryan chuckled.

"There is no point to like someone if you not able to be with her anyway, it just a waste." I said calmly.

"You never know if you never give it a chance." Ryan takes a sip of his drink.

"Do I even have a chance? To be with her? I didn't even deserve a chance." I smoke deeply and exhale with big sighed.

"What happen with Bryan is in the past, you can't treat yourself like you will have the same destiny like what happen with him. We all know what happen 5 years ago. Yet still you blaming yourself and not even let it go."

"Yeah I should the one take the position and not him, now what will be happen next to his wife and his son? I could never bring him back, I could never retrieve what's lost and what's broken." I smiled bitterly.

"We all know the risk we were taking since we join this job, He also knows, when you will learn that what happen with him, none of your god damn responsibility. Stop punishing yourself and give yourself a chance as you deserved."

My mind flashing back on the day while we do an operation when me and him as a team, we tried to protect the victim, He was asking me to get to the front and deal with the driver to be arrested while he would taking care the victim to free them. The victim of the human smuggling was so desperate to run away out of nowhere they got a gun and mistakenly him as the smuggler as he opens the back of the truck.

*sounds of the shot* I was winced on my seat every time I remember that night. I was run frantically at the back of the truck, He got shot, blood everywhere, other team from back up run and covering us, but we were at the border out of nowhere, by the time we get into the hospital, it was too late.

That's how ironically Marie lost his husband, Dylan lost his only son and I lost my only brother.

I just wish, I was the one in his position, I was the one who got shot, not him.
