Honolulu Harbor, 11 pm

Steve's POV

"Adam time to move, they're lifting the container out," I instruct once I see the group of men on the ship huddle around the container, securing it onto the crane.

"Copy," His voice was quiet, indicating that they were still in hiding.

I hold my breath as I watch the box that contained a weapon of mass destruction make contact with the tarmac underneath it. The Comescu's came down from the ship and were opening the doors of the shipment.

"Moving," I say into my earpiece.

My team, which consisted of Danny, Lou and several SWAT agents, moved closer to the clearing that the deal was being set up in. I take cover behind a stack of crates that were placed outside, against the warehouse we were hiding in.

"I have a situation here," Ryan announces, "Yasmin's M.I.A,"

"What?! What do you mean," I say in a low voice, cautious that the men that were 15 feet away from us wouldn't hear me

"Meaning that she's not at the meet point! She's gone rogue," he mutters, but I couldn't tell if he sounded angry or disappointed.

"We don't know that," Adam comes on the line, "she might have got held up at the control centre,"

"I'm sorry Sir, she insisted that we go ahead and that she would meet us," An unfamiliar voice of a women speaks up

"And I gave you instructions, not suggestions," Ryan scolds

"Alright let's not get a head of ourselves, focus on the task at hand," I say in an effort to diffuse the situation.

"Speaking of the task," The girl I now know as Aisha grabs our attention, "The guy approaching the Comescus is not Ricki Tanaka, I repeat target is not in sight,"

I peek through the slits in the crates, squinting my eyes to somehow zoom in on the mans face. It was hard to make out his facial features but the man in the crease less black suit was definitely not the right build to be RickI,

"Okay hold your positions, he may be testing the waters, seeing if we'll attack before Ricki closes the deal himself,"

I was wrong, the decoy closed the deal himself, sealing it with a handshake to the Comescu men. As soon as the men break away from eachother. A gunshot sounds off in the distance, causing all sides that were here on the port, to draw out their weapons.

Yasmin's POV

Colliding against the solid metal wall, I let out a grunt in protest after regaining the air that was knocked out of me,

"Hey!"

I push myself off and grab the flashlight that was on my hip. Turning it on, I point it at the face of my challenger. He flinches from the brightness that attacked his eyes, but the gun that he had pointing at me didn't falter.

"What the hell?!" I snap when I see the gun

"You killed Eddie!" Guy barks out in accusation.

I take a step back, stunned by the news and stunned that he would even think I was capable of such a thing,

"Are you stupid or are you dumb? I would never do that!" I say as I stand in front of him again, imaginary flames burning in my eyes.

"Really?! because when I left the house he was alive," He starts to say, "but then, I get a call from my dad when you left and he tells me that you killed him,"

"Guy, I only choked him out," I say and push his gun out of my face to get closer to him.

He quickly pulls it back on me, making me lift my hands up in surrender; The threatening look that was in his eyes, however, gets clouded with uncertainty and sorrow. 

"He was supposed to see the birth of his child," He murmurs in a monotone voice

In an attempt to stop the tears that threatened to spill out of my eyes, I gently bite on my lower lip; the infectious joy that Eddie displayed when he told me the news, flashing through my mind.

Pulling myself out of the memory, I look into his distant eyes, my body trembling under all the tactical clothing, "I never pulled a gun on him,"

Just then, the not-so-distant sound of gunfire erupted. Reacting to the noise I press the device that was in my ear, my former teammate mimicking my actions,

"Anderson, they're pushing in from your direction!" Junior shouts above the noise

I press the device again, silencing the thunder that blasted against my eardrums,

"I need to get back out there," I say to Guy

"Me too," He sighs out

"G, look-"

"I believe you," He cuts me off and puts a hand on my shoulder, gently pulling to guide me out of the container. However, I don;t move an inch, my feet are planted to the floor, baffled as to what caused his sudden change of attitude. Just a minute ago he was deadset on blaming me for Eddie's murder.

Seeing my eyes dart back and forth between his own, he removes his his hand from my shoulder and lets it drop back to his side,

"I was acting blind, not thinking twice about the things that led to this moment, especially when it came to things that involved my father," He hung his head, "I could have stopped this but I let myself get blindsided by the company,"

With the tension between us dissolving back into nothing, I reach out and gently wrap my fingers around his wrist, "I was told that we can't blame ourselves for wanting a life of our own,"

Finally seeing the smile return to his lips, I let out a quiet breath that I didn't know I was holding.

"Let's go and fix this mess," I say, a smile of own stretching out onto my face.

Guy twists his wrist, momentarily freeing the hold I had on him so that he could grasp my hand , squeezing it once our fingers intertwined. He nods his head and we set off through the yard, side by side once more.

The gunshots were closer than I expected. We soon found ourselves in the midst of the chaos.
Anderson was to the left of me, The Lang's to my right, the bullets flying in front us.

"I'll talk to them, have a ceasefire!" Guy shouts at me

"Alright! I'll do the same!" I shout back.

He then starts to make his way down towards the right end of the shipping container we were hiding behind and I head down the opposite direction. Turning the corner, the clearing that acted as a no mans land comes into view again.
