Time: 21:30
Objective: Extract Ryan Ross, Retrieve Critical Intel

Location: WoolWorth Tower Residences, New York City, NY

"Roughly Another year pass, I'm starting to doubt myself. What I'm becoming. Halcyon Is hiding something. I can feel it. I can't say for sure. I have no proof. They kept me on low profile ever since the evaluation. I don't think it's because Of heat. They say I've gained too much heat from Police. Maybe I'm just trippin'. End Journal Log."

As soon as I entered my journal Log, Rose barged in, Dropped a file on my desk, and started ransacking through my wardrobe.

"Got anything In black that would fit me?" She asked.

I got up and retorted.

"First of all, Why are you ransacking my Wardrobe. Second, Ever heard of knocking?"

"Jeez, sorry Mr grumpy-pants But we got a mission together, if ya don't mind." She Replied and Points the the file.

I pick it up, Open it. Inside, A photo of Billionaire Ryan Ross, and an extraction mark on him.

"Why is billionaire Ryan Ross our target?" I asked.

"Read the brief." She says

And I read it. 'To Chosen Contractors, This is your target. Billionaire Ryan Ross. Our intel suggests He is a financial backer of  the Phoenix operation, A Criminal Organization whose sole Purpose is to destroy Halcyon. Extract Mr Ross, And we prefer you keep him alive. There is also a hard drive Containing Critical Intel that would help our cause Located in his penthouse safe. Secure it. Good luck Operatives.'

"So, Kidnap Ryan Ross, Steal hard drive, Escape silently?" I asked.

"Basically. Hey do you think this would fit me?" She held Up a suit and looked at me.

The suit she held up was an Old operative suit. One that was too small to fit me, but perfect for Rose.

"The suit doesn't fit me anymore. Should fit you. Go try it on, While I clear your mess." I replied as I started to clear the mess she had made of my wardrobe.

Moments later, After I had prepare a suit for myself to wear for the mission, Rose comes out equipped with the suit she had chosen from my wardrobe. I had to admit, She pulled it off Nicely. She looked in the mirror and admired herself.

I made a wolf whistle. "Looking Like you're dressed to kill."

"It's been some time since I've been on the field. So, Whaddya think?" She asked.

"What, Of your outfit?"

"No Of me." She said.

I was rendered speechless for a few seconds.

"I'm just kidding, Yes the outfit." She said Giggling.

"Honestly? No disrespect, But you're smoking hot in an Operative Suit." I said.

Shit what was I thinking? I just said that to my mission coordinator. I might be in trouble.

"Thanks, I'm gonna take it as a compliment." She said.

"I'm gonna get suited up. I'll meet you At the garage." I said as I went to prepare.

I geared Up and went to meet Rose at the Garage.

"Ready?" She asked.

"As I'll ever be." I replied.

We Hopped onto Rose's Motorcycle and ride to WoolWorth Residences Tower, Where Ross lives.

We shot A grappling hook to his penthouse unit and climbed up. We set our gear down at a quiet corner of the Outside if the penthouse.

"Can we go see the statue after this?" Rose Asked.

"Seriously?" I asked Back

"When else are we gonna get the chance?" She replied.

I pondered. She was right.

"Fair Point." I said.

We quietly Infiltrated Ross's Apartment. We had our target in sight.

"Ryan Ross, Halcyon is here for you." Rose said.

"We have infiltration." I whispered into my intercom.

"What's The plan?" I asked rose.

"Get the hard drive first, Then get Ryan. Don't let him get to his panic room." She said.

We required the power boxes to turn off the alarms, then Went into Ross's Penthouse apartment.

With the plan layed out we Quickly located the safe and wanted to blow it up.

"Tough safe. C4 won't work on this one. You can't crack it either. Better get the drill." Rose said.

I pulled out a silent drill for Rose to open the vault. As she opened the vault I covered her back, Not letting any guard to come in and injure or disturb the process.

"A hard drive? Excellent." Rose Said as she secured the hard drive.

"Time to get Ross." I said.

We followed Ross into his room, Then Knocked him out from the back. As we were preparing to extract Ross, A guard come up and grew suspicious. We had to knock him out as well.

"Got him." I said.

"Good, Time to clear out." Rose Replied.

As we made our way back to the grappling hook, I purposely Dropped the guard in the body bag down from the edge. Rose assumed that I had dropped Ross.

"Was that... Did you just... ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" She silently yelled at me.

I laughed and opened the second body bag that contained Ross.

Rose let out a sigh of relief.

"Don't do that ever again!" She said.

"Relax, you had a good laugh. So did I." I told her.

As we climbed down the rope, She started to laugh. We made our way down to the Nearby carpark where Rose's Bike was parked. We Hopped On and Rode Back to our rendezvous point, where Wren was waiting to fly us back to headquarters. We did Fly a plane to New York after all. The transport of Rose's bike was difficult. But the mission was over. We were happy, and tired.

I had to admit, Having Rose as my Partner on the field felt nice. Especially when I have a super huge crush on her.

"You should be my partner." I said.

"I'm not meant for the field. Besides, You're doing well yourself on your own. You don't need me." She replied.

"It feels good to have someone watching your back though." I said.

As we landed back in headquarters, Rose made her way to her bunk, and I made my way to mine. Without changing, I flopped on my bed and fell alseep instantly.

'Im starting to hate this job' I thought to myself.
