Two Months Ago

Nicole Hudson – "Pause"

"I had to do it," Nicole said.

"No, you didn't," Robin replied looking at her blankly through the helmet.

"It's too late now. You need to find Soothsayer. With his information we can keep Garsav locked up forever. That's why I'm sending you with Foreman to Squad Y. Keep a close watch on him at all times."

"Understood," Robin said.

"And make sure to keep the helmet on. But I don't need to tell you that do I?"

"No... I wouldn't feel safe without it. Not with Ed and Garsav," Robin replied.

"I guess this is goodbye," Nicole said giving Robin a hug.

"Goodbye Nicole."

Ian – "Homicide Hazard"

Present Day

"The climax! Oh how lovely! Wait a minute... Who's that?" Ian said as he was perched upon a rooftop. From one of the rooftops that was mostly flat he saw a shape moving, a girl in a black dress with blonde hair. He decided to intercept. He didn't like watching movies alone.

He stood up and dashed across his roof and jumped to the next roof. He was used to parkour and was fortunate to be in a top squad and have special made boots so that he wouldn't slip. He hopped to the next roof where the girl he had saw was. She was about to jump into a tree where she would probably climb down from.

Ian rushed towards her silently and grabbed her from behind. He put one hand quickly over her mouth and the other had a knife to her neck.

"Mmmmmmmm!" the girl tried to scream.

"Shhhh, anyone ever tell you it's impolite to talk during the movie?" Ian asked chuckling.

"Just sit back and enjoy," he whispered.

Looking down into the backyard he saw the three he had been following were captured.

"Soooo, you thought you could come onto my estate and just ruin our little deal?" the heavyset man known as Salvador Barossi said.

The three had their hands tied and were put on their knees in front of the man with the pool behind them. In front of them stood Salvador Barossi, a thin looking Hispanic guy, and three of the generic looking henchmen.

"What was it... Two guards? You thought it would be that easy? Pathetic." Salvador said with a condescending look to the three.

Paul had a cloth bag on his head, Sam had some collar around her neck and Dakota was being watched by one henchman who had his gun ready. Ian could hear Sam quietly crying. Oh he just loved the looks of hopelessness and despair!

"You see, we already know your abilities. We have access to the IBF database," Salvador said.

"What are you going to do with us?" Paul asked.

"Well I have to deal with you. Ayy Joey hand me your other pistol," Salvador said.

The other henchman gave him his pistol and Salvador held it in his free hand.
