Long Way From Home

Gabriel sat in the pilot seat of his ship while Jesse sat in the co-pilot seat. Gabriel had a headset on and so did Jesse. They were communicating with each either while flicking various switches and pressing different buttons, preparing to take off. Genji sat in the back of the ship, sulking and scanning his eyes around the other Blackwatch members, mostly criminals hired by Gabriel for a chance of freedom and redemption.

Gabriel looked out through the window and saw Angela standing nearby along with a few other people. Their eyes met and she waved, the ring around her left finger glistening in morning sunlight. Gabriel smiled, and he felt good. It was Christmas morning and Jack had him take a group of Blackwatch members on a mission. Gabriel wanted to stay behind and spend Christmas day with Angela, but he knew he wouldn't be able to.

The man focused back on getting the ship ready for take off. "We good to go Jesse?"

"Yerp. Let's lift off!" Jesse confirmed before Gabriel lifted the ship off the ground. Once they were in the air, they started flying to their destination.

6 hours later and the Blackwatch ship FINALLY landed at their destination. They were in the city of Numbani where they were to meet up with a contact with more details on their mission. While they waited around in a Kofi store, Genji went away to sulk in some corner while Jesse spoke to one of the other members named Roberto. He was a dark skinned fellow with dark hair that was a very short afro.

"So, where you come from, Rob? You don't mind if I call ya that, do ya?" Jesse asked. Roberto simply shrugged.

"I don't mind. I come from the Dominican Republic. Nice place, really. Beautiful scenery and such."

"How'd you end up in Blackwatch?" Jesse prodded. Rob's jaw clenched and he began to shift his weight to one foot and then the other. Jesse sighed. "I understand if ya don't wanna talk bout it."

"No no no, it's fine. I'm just a little nervous." Rob cleared his throat before speaking up again. "I was accused of stealing some top secret information from the Dominican government when in reality, it was actually my girlfriend from a long time ago, but she led all the tracks to me. I was put in jail and sentenced to Death Row by the time Commander Reyes found me." Rob looked over at Gabriel who was by the counter ordering a cup of coffee. "He told me he was down there looking for the person who did it since it went public and when I told him it wasn't me, he wanted to help me get out of jail since it wasn't my fault. He told me to join Blackwatch and he would help clear my name. So I did and here I am." Rob looked back at Jesse. "I'm not that good at shooting or anything, but I am somewhat good at hacking into stuff which my girlfriend taught me. So, Gabriel thought that was a perfect position to put me in." All the while Rob was talking, Jesse was nodding and listening with interest.

"What was yer girlfriend's name?" Jesse asked, curious about the girl who almost had Rob killed.

"Olivia," the Dominican replied.

"Hmph, I hope you're still not with her. She sounds like an ass to set you up like that."

"After that incident, I never saw her again. I don't know what happened to her or what she did with the Dominican information."

"Was she apart of the country?"

"No, she's Mexican. She visited the Dominican Republic and stayed because of me. I loved her so much too." Rob looked at the ground before shaking his head. "Nonetheless, I'm still happy that Reyes pretty much saved my life and is helping me in return for my help." Jesse nodded then looked at their Commander who was sipping on his coffee.
