Maggie's POV

Ok, so watching for the workers to leave has not been as fun as I hoped. I guess my plan was a little off there is a fight going on tonight and that means this place is swarming with people, So B&E not looking so good. So plan B time.

So I found a spot to watch and wait, something I am quite used to, Recon work is never all guns a blazing, almost ninety percent of the time it's sitting around watching a build or a group waiting for just the right moment to strike. And as I watch I see my chance walking out of the parking structure. Jess. So I make my move to follow her.

Once I am near her I push the Glock up to her back. "Jess, you're going to walk me into that building and into your slave pens," I say in a quiet but very deadly tone. She gasped as she felt the gun and heard my words. I see her start to shake as she glances back at me. "I guess you never took self-defence Jess, you should never turn to look at an attacker unless you have a plan to fight back," I tell her in a hard tone. "So you know I won't lose sleep over killing you, so do as I ask and you may live," I warned her. She meekly nods her understandest of what I have told her.

"If we go to the pens, someone will think something is wrong..." she tells me in a strangely meek tone.  

"That so," I say as we walk.

"Yes Veronica Sinclair office has controls to open the cells and to shut off the collars," she added

"So you know a lot about your girlfriend's slave ring here," I say

"Maggie it's not that simple... she owns me as well," Jess said in a broken voice.

I think about what she said as we walk to the building. "Ok, Jess help me save them and stop her and I'll help you," I tell her and wait for some kind of reply and get a nod from her agreeing. So I let the gun slip back into hiding. It's not hard to get it back out if I need it. But holding it to her back might be hard to do once people around us.

After we enter the building I pull her into an empty room. "Talk, how does she own you?" I ask

Jess's eyes look haunted as she looks up at me. "As a child..." Her breath hitches. "I... was sold... to her family..." she has tears rolling down her cheeks as I watch her. "she's only.... five or so years older... but I was given to her a plaything... she treated me nicely for the most part... but she always made it clear I was hers..." her body is shaking as she speaks and I walk over to her and grab her hand.

"Jess, listen to me I can't begin to understand what you have gone through, but I'll end it with your help," I tell her in a very soft but deadly tone.  "My job is to stop her, but I had planned on saving everyone I can... So your one of the ones I might be able to save."

Oh, the little Luthor is not going to be pleased about this. Not only am I saving the girl who has a hold on Kara, but this girl has a sad story that could melt anyone's heart. It's not going to be a good thing getting her out of here. But I'll do it, it's the right thing to do. 

So for the next hour me and Jess dodge people making our way to the office rooms in a penthouse. As a note, Jess takes orders like a champ. I guess that has to be from being made into a human pet for almost her whole life. And that idea sickens me. 

"This is the office," she tells me softly as we walk up to it. I check to see if I hear anything from the door and I hear nothing. So we slip into the office.

"Ok, can you open the doors to the cells?" I ask as I look at my watch and smile.

"Yes, what's the plan?" she asks as she rushes over to work on the computer. 

"Well, I plan on taking down that bitch and her empire," I say and watch her work. 

You see I know a thing or two about deception and faints I see this one coming a mile away. Jess has thought she was playing me this whole time and hell it might have worked, but her story was just too good. And I have had a backup plan the whole time and he has been watching me. So as the doors fly open a am ready putting bullets between the eyes of the first two thugs coming through the doors and taking cover before more can come in, Jess screamed for them to get me and I smirk. "So I guess you're not going to let me help you after all?" I yell at her from behind my cover of the sofa.

"You dumb bitch, why would I give up the love of my life!" she yelled right back at me.

I shoot two more thugs as they try to run into the room. "Oh I don't know maybe coz your lover is a crazy bitch?" I mock her and shot once at her to keep her right at where she is. I knew I was not going to hit her, that was the point. 

I hear the police sirens blaring and doors being kicked in. You see Lena had gotten me this nice little tool, it auto-hacks into any wireless systems, don't ask me how it works I'm the gun they are the brains and thank god for that, they are on the next level. But once the system is open someone else who is watching can come in and do whatever they want... so my partner well he just opened all the doors and cells and then shut off all safety measures... I'm sure he knew what he was doing better than I do about all that stuff. 

"What have you done?!" Jess cried

"I just told you the plan, taking down an empire in just a night of work," I say

"You bitch!" she screams at me and aims a gun at me.

"Think hard about that Jess, I don't want to kill you," I warn her and she does not put the gun down. So as I plan out what to do next the PC next to her blows up sending sparks all over her and scaring the shit out of her. I use that moment to rush her and tackle her to the ground. Not a hard task to do as she is not a fighter by any means.

"Sawyer!" A male yelled out as he came rushing in.

"Here!" I call out as I now have Jess zip tied and lying face down on the ground. "Nice seeing West, how're the kids?"

"Damn girl! You do some good work," Detective West said with a grin.

"Yes, I guess I do, did you get everyone?" I ask as I stand up.

"All but the lead, where is she?" West asked

"I have a clue where she is," I say with a smile, "Get some people and go to the Artman private airport, about 15 miles south of here," I tell him.

"How could you know that?" West asked

I just grin at him. "My partner has been watching over me and he told me where she is now, but there is no rush Superman is there now," I say as I walk out of the room. 

"Sawyer, why don't you come down and I'll put a word in for you, my unit could use someone like you," Detective West said

"Umm tempting and all Joe, but I already work for the Luthors, it's more my family than a job," I tell him and smile. "But I am sure glad I have a friend like you to come bail my ass out when I need it," I tell him and give him a hug before walking out of the room.
