The Farm
Everyone was together in the Ops center working. Or at least Simon and Nikki were working, Dante was busy pecking away at his new cell phone, his thumbs flying around the screen with incredible speed, a little smile on his face. Simon was doing his research on Edward and Nikki was completing the after action report on Judge Kolas. Simon glanced up from his computer and was watching Dante when he caught Nikki’s eye and both of them were now watching him. Simon leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face,
“What are you doing over there Dante?” He said, a knowing look on his face. Dante startled and looked up at Simon, the same look a child with their hand in the cookie jar might have when you walk into the kitchen and catch them in the act. He actually started blushing as he replied,
“What, nothing, just doing some research.” He answered a little too quickly. Simon looked over at Nikki, who had a smile on her face and was leaning back as well watching the two men.
“Uh huh, well that’s good.” He chuckled a little and started clicking away at his keyboard when he addressed Dante again without looking up,
“If you want to go see her, you can take the car.” He continued clicking away. Dante turned to look at Nikki, who had a big grin on her face, and she just winked at Dante.
Before Dante could answer, the phone in the Ops center rang. Rob McShay’s voice came over the speaker and he thanked the team again for the way they handled the Kolas case and informed them that they have become a victim of their own success, they have another case.
Rob was going through the details on the next target when Simon looked over at Dante and nodded. Dante quickly rose and left the room, a little spring in his step and a smile overtaking his face. He smiled over at Nikki and then they both turned back to their computers to start working on their next mission.
This one was going to require a little more finesse than was required for David. They are tasked with taking out the leader of a fanatical homegrown militia. A man who is constantly under guard and never leaves the complex, which is a military style fortress. Guarded by modern day weapons and followers who would give their life for their leader. Simon was sure he would put their devotion to the test before this mission was over.
