Reese and Tricia stepped back into the building, hoping to try again with the other couple.

All of a sudden, gunshots and explosions rang out, followed by violent explosions, as well as...a whole section of the building breaking off.

Anthony...

"Trish, get down!" Reese pushed her to the ground in the lobby, behind a desk.

"Is that-"

Reese looked up in the direction of where the shots originated...Anthony's place, which stopped shaking.

"Oh shit." Reese muttered, followed by prying apart the elevator doors exposing the elevator shaft.

"T, wait here. I'll be back." Reese gestured, to which she nodded.

Reese then jumped into the shaft, and proceeded to climb upward, approaching the bottom of the elevator.

He then rammed a fist foward, and pryed the floor open.

*in the apartment*

The agents formed a perimeter around the couple, ready to haul them away.

"Command, come in this Foxtrot Eight. Targets neutralized, ready for exfil. How copy?" Agent Watney radioed.

"Roger, Foxtrot. We'll be ready at the LZ, ETA one hour."

"Copy, Comman-"

Just then, a loud crash sounded.

As the agents turned to face the door, the door flew off its hinges, pinning two of the agents underneath.

Agent Watney quickly realized it was Reese, and dropped his weapon.

"Mr. Morris! What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Watney?" Reese asked, push kicking another agent across the living room into Anthony's flat screen. "I should've KNOWN you'd jump at this shit! Who sent you?"

"We're here on behalf of the DoD, son!  We have orders to be here!"

"Is it...oh no. Is it for that Guardian Angel shit?! Answer me!!!"

"YES! These two are crucial to it, and the Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Securtiy gave us the go-ahead."

Reese growled. "You son of a bitch, I should've put you down. You know what that project's actually for, and you still get yourself involved. I know you're a piece of shit, but this is low."

Agent Watney readied his pistol, only to be met with a backhand from Reese. The hit sent Watney flying into the kitchen, unconscious.

"Real piece of work"

*half an hour later*

Anthony awoke to see several agents on the floor, his...door in the living room, and his TV cracked.

"What...what the..."

He then looked up and found Reese and Tricia sitting in front of him.

"Hey..." Reese waved.

"You son of a-"

"Whoa, easy man! I come in peace. I did this to them."

"Yeah right, asshole!"

"I ain't with these guys, Anthony! They're government."

Anthony's eyes flashed red before reverting back to normal. "I thought Bill sent them, along with you."

"Hell no. Bill just sent me; these guys have Washington written all over them, especially this clown." Reese picked up Agent Watney's head.

"Who-"

"This is Agent Leonard Watney. Former FBI, now DoD, and he's been after my scalp for a long time."

"Oh...shit."

"Yeah."

Just then, Watney's radio sounded. "Foxtrot Eight, status?"

Reese picked up the radio.

"He's out. I know about Guardian Angel, shithead."

"You...oh, wait until the super freaks hear about this."

The radio fell silent.

"Look, it was my bad dropping in unannounced. Let's start over. I'm Reese Morris."

Anthony shook his hand. "Anthony Tyler."

"Now then, about your place....you have insurance?"
