"Move now!" Elara ordered through the comms

They we're quick to move into the carport quietly as they took out their opponents, the second and last on the line slipping out and restraining them before signalling for the lead to continue

"Their good at this." I called as I watched through the live feed looking to Val and Cami

"You have to be, if you not good at your job your a liability." Val replied not looking up from the print she was taking

"Who told you that?"

"Celeste." Cami replied looking to her sister "Remember what Nyssa said?"

"Liability cause deaths, especially in our field if your not good get lost." Val replied "Nyssa was an amazing older sister and an incredible member."

"Really cause she sounds like she was mean a lot?"

"She was but she'd always be there no matter how mean she got." Val replied "Plus she was the best in her field."

"How she die?"

"No one knows, Nyssa just never came back from a mission so we got 66 to do a trace and we found her 20 miles, her body was in a ditch."

"I still remember how we found her, body black and blue from all the abrasions and laraceres covering most of her, her face with that smile as dried blood cover the right side of her face from a cut."

"I still remember 1 heart wrecking scream, 6 crying and screaming as 7 held her back and 4 trying to get Nyssa to wake up." Val choked

"That's the nature of the job." Cami replied calmly "Your here and then your not."

"How can you be so calm?" Blackburn asked

"How is getting upset about it gonna change it... Nyssa taught us that and Nolan taught us that when your upset and pissed off channel those emotions and use them against the enemy. Keep calm and remember everything and use it against them, don't let them see your angry or your saddness keep your face unreadable."

"Always keep you face unreadable." Val replied

"If they can read you face they're reaction to you expression..."

"Find your weakness and exploit it." Val replied finishing her sister before looking at us with a stone cold expression "Never show weakness, not unless you wanna die."

"Is that something okay with? Like is that want your kids to learn?"

"I love my kids dearly and I wanted them to be okay but I personally I believe in this lesson as often because it has helped me in quite a few areas in my life and I want my children to have the same thing." Val replied

"So you'd let you children learn it as well?" Delko asked Cami

"Absolutely, I learn it when I was young and it has helped me to survive, I know it can help my kids too."

"We intend to teach our children the same values we learnt as members." Val confirmed as she slipped a hand over her collar bone after she slipped off her gloves

"What's that?"

"My amulet, it has a photo of my kids." She replied before taking the sample away just as the team came in with the other vicheles as well as other pieces of evidence

"Thank you." Cami smiled as she took the biggest piece from Clay "I will take this."

"Thanks 84, hey..."

"Yea?"

"Has anyone heard from 66 or 22's team?"

"We got all the woman and children back and it looks like they were branching out into men as well."

"Oh?" Elara stated questioning look on her face as Clay slipped in behind her wrapping his arms around her waist, her hands resting on top of his while she leaned back into the embrace "How many?"

"24."

"We need to get the records and the profiles to 66 get her to run it through the database she has." Elara stated "Tell 34 and 40 I want records and reports send to me."

"71 arrived as well and she willing to help out." Val stated "We've already send her to the hospital."

"She hasn't been here?"

"No, she called from the car so we just gave her the location and she went."

Elara nodded and Clay and he excused themselves while the others went to there work.

 Upstairs

Nobody's POV:

Elara sat against the couch looking through papers on her IPAD with Clay sitting on the couch above her reading something on a file

"Hey?"

"Yep..." Clay replied "What is it?"

"I was wondering about decorating the kids room... if this is going to be our home I want a place our children feel better and feel comfortable. I want them to have a home not just a house." Elara replied

"I agree, but does that mean you'd staying for good...."

"I want to but I don't know, I don't want to be numb and cold and the only place that I feel warm and safe and even just the slights bit normal is when I'm with you. Clay Spenser you make me alive again and I'm scared that when this is over...." Elara started getting up to sit on the couch

"Stop, this... us will never be over, Elara Seraphina Linda Hayes – Spenser, I didn't married you only to take care of the kids, I have loved you since the moment I met you and in all the moments over that one I realize again and again that you and I will be forever, you are the love of my life and the last love I will ever have." Clay swore as he move to stand in front of her

"Promise..." Elara asked shyly "You love me?"

"Always." He replied crouch down in front of her and gently lifting her head so that she looked at him "You believe me don't you..."

She nodded before leaning forward for a kiss which he returned "We're gonna be alright."

"Of course." He nodded holding her
