Anika watches from her perch at the two figures they had managed to track down. Gavin Raymond and Diplomat Francis Baring.
“Bart, remember we are taking them in alive.” Anika was ready to pull the trigger if they even thought about reacting.
“Remember that, when you pull the trigger.” Bart approaches the two men.
Mouse had managed to track Gavin Raymond and Diplomat Francis Baring. They were hiding out at a townhouse on the outskirts of London.
Dakota was with them with Anika and Hatter providing back-up.
Dakota was around back covering the townhouse. Hatter was hiding in the van they came in, ready to spring out to capture anyone who tried to run.
“Alright, Anika. Let’s start this party.” Bart prepares himself for what was about to happen.
Anika sights in and gently pull the trigger on her custom rifle. All that is heard is a little puff of air as she fires three times. She watches as the window is broken and smoke starts to fill the inside of the townhouse.
A few seconds later, Gavin and Diplomat Francis come walking out of the townhouse coughing and rubbing their eyes. They couldn’t see straight, because their eyes were burning. They couldn’t get enough air into their lungs to overcome the smoke they inhaled.
Hatter jumps out of the van and walks over towards Diplomat Francis. She binds his hands with a zip cuff. She spots Bart zip cuffing his prisoner Gavin Raymond.
The two men look at Hatter and Bart “you can’t do this. Do you know who I am?”
“Yea, your bad guys and now you’re my play toy.” As Hatter smacks the back of the head of Diplomat Francis.
He struggles with her. He tries to break free from her grip.
“You keep it up or I might break your legs.” Hatter pokes him with one of her knives.
Diplomat Francis stops resisting. He had heard rumors about who this person was, but the rumors had said she left England. He starts walking
towards the van and is tossed in, along with Gavin Raymond.
Bart and Dakota climb in and shut the door on the van. Hatter was sitting in the back as they go to pick Anika up. Dakota pulls up and Anika hops into the van.
“Mouse, we have Gavin and diplomat Francis. Did you manage to locate the other two?” Anika watches as Dakota drives them towards another safehouse owned by MI5.
“Negative, Anika. I haven’t been able to locate Carl Herman or Count Nelson Rudd. I’m still looking for them. Also, Morgana has a satellite monitoring Prince Charles resident. She’s also monitoring the GPS location of all the royals using their cell phone.” Mouse had spoken with Gloria, Morgana’s business partner.
“How about the gang members Terry gave us the location of? Are they still there?” Anika knew they were next on their takedown today.
She wanted the other two they were after. Terry had studied the plans and material they found of the drone. They needed to find the other two and stop them before they could put their plan into play.
“So, far there hasn’t been any movement at the location.” Mouse has been monitoring the cameras around the location.
“Alright, notify your mom. We’re dropping Gavin and Diplomat Francis at the safe house. We’re going to go after the gang members next. Let
us know if there is any movement at the house.” Anika watches as Dakota heads towards the safe house.
Alexa’s Garage:
Alexa looks at all the damage done to the Black Knight and shakes her head “there’s no fixing this Terry. It will take a few days to get the replacement panels and reinforce them.”
Terry watches as Alexa examines the damage to The Black Knight. They had pulled out shrapnel that had been embedded in the armor. All the left-hand side windows, along with the back window had cracks and micro-cracks in them.
“Can’t we do a quick patch job and repaint the cab?” Terry had the material on hand to patch the cab.
“It will take to long for the patching material to dry. We would also need to sand down the patch material. Then prime and paint the cab. That
takes time Terry.” Alexa knew Terry had to know herself.
“I know, still I should have made the body modular like Wraiths is. That way it’s easier to fix and replace.” Terry was going to have to redesign the Black Knight.
“Even if you did, the cab still has physical damage from all the explosions that went off around it.” Alexa stops and picks out a piece of shrapnel they missed.
“Alright, let me arm Spirit just in case we need him.” As Terry starts heading toward where Wraith was stored.
“What do you want me to do with the Black Knight?” Alexa almost had Anika’s Jaguar ready for her.
“Prep it, to be shipped back to my family shop. I know we're almost done with our assignment over here.” Terry knew Anika and Bart were going after everyone today.
She was supposed to join them later. They had Morgana in overwatch, keeping an eye on Prince Charles. She heads towards Spirit and replenishes his weapon systems.
She checks his system and makes sure all his systems were up and running. After the terrorist, they stopped and freeing the girls. She hadn’t gotten around to reloading Wraith’s weapon system.
Alexa starts shutting down the Black Knights system. She logs into the secure connection and starts backing the computers up to the servers at Camelot Network Services. She knew Terry would go over the information later.
While that was going on, she goes back to work on Anika’s Jaguar. Anika was going to take it back to the states with her. Her big brother will understand.
After Terry finishes getting Wraith reloaded and ready to move out. She heads back towards the main garage where she notices The Black Knight backing up its database to Camelot’s computers.
Anika, Bart, Dakota, and Hatter:
Anika and Bart drop Gavin and Diplomatic Francis off at the safehouse. They get back into the van and head towards the house. Anika wonders who was going to come and pick their prisoners up.
Twenty minutes later, a black SUV pulls up to the place. A young woman with long curly dark brown hair that came past her shoulders and wearing a tailored black business suit gets out and heads towards the door of the building.
She punches in the access code and enters the building. The young woman spots the two men she has been sent to pick-up.
“Well, hello gentlemen and I use that term loosely. It seems you have been very naughty and need to be punished for what you have done.”
Casey had been asked by her aunt to come to pick them up and transport them to prison.
“You guys are lucky that the people who capture you had orders to bring you in alive.” She walks over and checks the zip cuffs.
Gavin and Diplomat Francis had no idea who this young woman was. She had a slight limp to her walk. They could also tell she was carrying a gun as well. Gavin thought about trying to grab her gun.
He was about to grab her gun when he hears “don’t even think about. I’ll break your hands before you could even use it.” Casey looks at him with a look that could kill on her face.
The Gang house:
Anita, Bart, Hatter, and Dakota stop a block away from the location Terry gave them. Dakota gets out and scouts ahead. She moves carefully and quietly among the houses and vehicles.
She manages to get close enough to the house and listen to who might be inside. She slips a hand drill out and slip an endoscope into the hole and look around. She spots three people so far. She is careful and slips a little more inside the hole and detects four more.
“We have seven people inside, Anika. There might be a little more, but so far I’m counting at least seven.” Dakota pulls the scope out and moves back to where they are waiting.
“Flash and smoke grenades.” Bart looks at everyone.
“Gotcha!” Hatter checks her needlers and makes sure they are full and charge.
“Hatter, you’re with me. Dakota, you’re with Anika.” Bart looks at Dakota and Hatter to make sure they understood.
“You take the front, Bart.” Anika figures her, and Dakota could take the back.
They move into position and at the same time, fire flash grenades and smoke grenades into the house. Bart kicks in the door, while Dakota uses a small explosive device on the lock. They move as one into the house.
Pavel Andreievich and his men were getting their weapons prep and ready to go. They were told that the operation was going to take place tomorrow. He looks at his men as they double check their weapons. They were preparing to move out.
The next thing they know, flash grenades were going off the place was filling with smoke.
“Grab a mask!” As Pavel tries to grab one.
As he was trying to grab one, he notices someone dress as the Hatter and feels a sharp prick. He watches as the figure takes aim at one of his men. He spots Fatos turning around attacking the figure that shot him, just as he passes out.
Hatter had come in and shot one person with her needler. Just as she was taking aim at a huge bald fellow. Her arm gets hit hard, numbing her hand and sending her needler to the floor.
Fatso pulls a huge sick looking knife out and grins at Hatter.
A huge smile appears on Hatter’s face as she slips two of her throwing knives into her hand. She dodges in time as the guy lunges at her. He was trying to strike her chest, but because she moved out of the way, he misses her.
Hatter brings her knives up and slices across his forearm. An evil smile appears on her face. She moves in close and slices across his chest.
Fatso tries to move out of the way of the young girl as she stepped in close to him but was unable. She was quick, small and nimble. He felt her knives as they cut across his chest. He felt them when he was pulling his arm back and she sliced his forearm.
Hatter slips one of her playing cards into her hand and slices across the man’s throat in front of her. She tosses both knives in her hand at the guy, with one hitting him in the chest and the other one hitting next to the first one.
Fatso grabs his throat as he felt something sharp slice his throat. He then felt two knives embed themselves into his chest. He looks at the young white face girl as he fell forward with blood coming out of his throat.
Dakota strikes her opponent in the throat. She jumps up on his shoulders and wraps her legs tight around his neck. She brings him down to the floor and slams her fist into his throat.
Dakota goes flying off the guy she was on. Something hit the back of her head. As she is trying to get her bearings, she spots a guy coming towards her. He had a chair leg in his hand and was bouncing it.
Liridon had spotted a woman in a black bodysuit bring down his friend Meriton. He picks up one the damaged chair legs nearby and used it like a baseball bat, hitting the woman on her back. He looks at her as she stands up. He had to admit she looked pretty. He swings the chair leg at her but misses. He feels her punch him in the chest as she got close and personal with him.
Dakota looks at the man who hit her. Her back stung from the hit. She moves in close and punches him hard in his chest.
Liridon, tries to hit the woman in front of him, but she blocks his strike. He feels his legs sweep out from under him, as he fell to the floor on his back. The next thing he felt is the woman on top of him and a sharp blow to the side of his head.
Hatter takes another guy down. She threw three of her throwing knives into his body. She had blood on her face, from the first guy she took down. She managed to find her needler she dropped as she drops another guy.
By the time the fighting had stopped. Everyone had some sort of injury. Among the people they fought, there was at least three dead. Hatter had killed two and Dakota had killed the person she fought.
“Is everyone okay?” Bart looks at all his teammates.
“We’re fine, big brother.” Dakota comes walking towards him with a slight limp to her walk.
She twisted her ankle when she did a roundhouse kick at one of the people she fought. She uses a damaged wall for support.
Hatter appears with blood covering her pale white face. She had pulled her knives out of the second guy she took down. She pulls her handkerchief out of her front pocket and wipes her face and the playing card she used to slice one guys neck. Her arm still felt numb from being hit.
Anika looks at her people and notices all of them had some sort of injury. Bart looked like someone stabbed him in the leg, Dakota was limping, and Hatter had blood on her suit and on her face.
She had a knife wound that went across her abdomen. None of her people were coming out of this untouched.
Anika calls Elizabeth to meet her at Hatter’s and Dakota’s place. She places another call to Countess Basset letting her know the gang had been taken down. After she gets off the phone with the Countess, she sends a message to Morgana to see if she could help Mouse locate Carl Herman or Count Nelson Rudd.
