FBI Headquarters

Nikki had been researching Sylvio Rojas and the Tairona Terror and she had to admit the nickname was appropriate. She had reviewed the homicide files of the undercover officers who were killed trying to infiltrate the family and terror was an accurate description. If this group was in possession of their missile launcher and Simon got a crack at them he was going to show them the very definition of Karma. 2 of the killed officers had small children that would be growing up without a father now.

 

They had been able to trace the group’s location to Oswego, NY. A small port city located on Lake Ontario. There is access to the Atlantic ocean which is why Nikki guessed they based their operation all the way up there. Simon had loaded satellite footage on the server and Nikki had spent hours watching it and she was impressed. Impressed with the level of sophistication this group possessed. They found footage of 2 people leaving the Lopez’s carrying a case that could have held their missing launcher. During the trip from Detroit to Oswego, the car stopped in 3 different parking garages where subsequent footage showed 3 identical cars exiting the structure, all heading in different directions. The vehicular version of a shell game. Very clever, there is no way anyone would be able to determine which vehicle to follow unless they were inside the garages and saw the exchanges.

 

Thankfully, she had Simon. She really missed him as he was still on the tail of the X-rays and she hadn’t seen him in a few days and she just wanted him back. When had Special Agent Monique Sebastian ever needed anyone else in her life, she had been happy all these years pursuing justice right? It hit her right then just how lonely she has been all this time and how she had been kidding herself that she was just fine on her own. She had never really known anything different but now, now she knew what she had been missing all along and she wanted him back. Reluctantly, she locked down those thoughts and got back to the mission at hand. Finding the missing rocket launcher.

 

After tunnelling through the footage, they had an address in Oswego and Nikki and a ground team were heading up there to conduct surveillance and see if they can determine what Rojas needed the launcher for. Nikki wasn’t so worried about the guy who wanted a truck load of weapons as much as she was worried about someone like Sylvio Rojas who only wanted, or needed, one. She needed to figure out what or who was the target for that missile and she needed to do it quickly before it was used. She hoped Simon was having luck tracking his prey and that he was being safe. That thought brought a smile to her face as the plane taxied down the runway of the small private airport outside of Oswego. Simon had let her and the team use his plane which Nikki was getting more and more used to.
