“Robert, are you getting this?” Nathan was watching the people inside the old metal factory.

They followed the tracking signal they were receiving from the dart. It led them to an old metal foundry that had seen better days. They had generators and all the equipment they needed to make the armor three or four at a time.

There were several men standing around with rifles, watching over the other members of Andy Poffo. It looked like they were working on another armor unit.

“I’m receiving your transmission, Nathan. Do you want me to wake Gypsy and Patrick?” Robert glances at their sleeping forms.

“No, let them sleep. They did their job with getting these suits up and running. We can handle them without their help.” Nathan knew staying up three days straight without rest, was dangerous to a person.

“So, how are we going to do this?” Dominic wanted to know what the game plan was.

“We surround them and apprehend them.” Nathan figures the firepower they were carrying was enough to take them out.

“I’m getting into position.” Sharon heads toward the east side of the building, while Nathan takes the west side and Dominic takes the south end.

“Remember, turn the power down. We don’t want the fletches to go through their bodies.” Nathan adjusts the power level on the rifle. They were going to try to apprehend these guys.

Sharon and Dominic do the same thing. The men with the guns had basic armor protection that the gauss rifle fletches could go through without any problems.

“On the count of three. 1, 2, 3!” The three of them use their advanced optics and fire at the men holding the guns.

After firing their gauss rifles, they smash through the walls and enter. Two guys with assault rifles fire at them. One was firing at Nathan, while the second one fires at Sharon. There was an explosion as Andy fired a 40mm grenade at Dominic.

The force of the explosion knocks Dominic off his feet but it didn’t penetrate the armor. The front of the armor was blackened and had fragments in it. The explosive force had knocked Dominic off his feet.

“Ow!” Dominic stands up.

He felt the explosive force through the armor. If he hadn’t been wearing the kinetic suit, under his armor. He would have died from it. At best, he might have some bruising.

Sharon shoots the 40mm grenade launcher out of Andy’s hand. As for the guys that shot at her and Nathan. They had their rifles destroyed by one burst from the gauss rifles.

“Alright, hands up.” Nathan points his weapon at the men that had the assault rifles.

Richard was watching everything going on and recording it for Gypsy and Patrick to go over later. He spots something on a piece of the equipment when Nathan was looking around.

“Nathan, pan left and give me a close-up view on the server.”

Nathan does as Richard ask and spot an explosive device on the server. He looks around the building and notices the place had been wired to explode.

“Guys, let’s get these people out of here now.” Nathan grabs Andy’s former team members.

Dominic grabs the men that had the assault rifles they took out. He carries them out of the building. Sharon grabs everyone else, including Andy himself and runs out as well. Nathan had the other people and run out, just as the explosions were going off.

The building explodes behind him, just as he sprinted out with the people he had. The people he had started coughing from the dust and debris that had formed from the collapse of the foundry.

“That was a close call, Nathan.” Sharon looked towards Nathan.

“You’re telling me. Let’s get these people back to the base and put them in the brig.” Nathan carries his people over to the van Andy had been using.

One of the guys Sharon was carrying looks at her. His hand was damaged from the gauss rifle fletch hitting him.

“Who are you guys?” Besfamilny Alexei Yanovich thought there was only one operational suit.

Sharon looks down at him “I’m your worse nightmare.” A smile appears on Sharon’s face, behind the helmet she was wearing.

“Who’s driving their van back?” Richard wonders which of the three was going to be the driver.

“I’ll do it. Just make sure you watch these clowns closely.” Sharon removes her helmet after she gives Dominic the people she had.

Richard keeps the monitors going as he follows behind the van back to the base. Dominic had radioed ahead to inform the MP’s that they brought prisoners back.

“Is there anyone else we need to inform about our prisoners?” Sharon looks towards Nathan.

“Yeah, FBI special agent Regina Garcia. She needs to be informed as well.” Nathan saw her card on Gypsy’s workspace in the command center.

When they arrive at the Army base, the MP’s were waiting for them. They take the prisoners and toss them into the brig. As for Gypsy and Patrick, Nathan And Sharon carry them to their quarters at the base and lay them down. All three suits of armor are locked up in the Command center with guards posted to protect it.

Nathan used Patrick’s and Gypsy’s security codes to disarm and disable the suits, till they wake-up. He also calls FBI Special Agent Garcia.

Garcia’s House:
Special Agent Garcia was getting ready to sit down with her family when her cellphone starts ringing. She picks her cellphone up and checks the number, but it was blocked. She answers it anyway “hello?”

“Hello, Special Agent Garcia, this is Sergeant Major Nathan Washington. I work with Gypsy and Patrick. We managed to capture the people responsible for stealing the diamonds and money. They’re here in the brig at the base. You might want to bring a team up here tomorrow.”

“Mr. Washington, is Gypsy and Patrick alright?” Garcia figured that Gypsy would have called her.

“She’s fine, special agent. She and Patrick are the reason we managed to take them down. The two of them are currently in la, la land.” Nathan knew a good night sleep will do the two of them some good.

“Alright, Sergeant Major. I’ll be up at the base at 0900 hrs.” Garcia figures that will give her enough time to drop her daughter off at school.

“Alright, Special Agent Garcia. Have a nice night.”

“You too, Mr. Washington.” Garcia ends the call.

Nathan strips out of his clothes and the kinetic suit and heads into the bathroom to take a shower.
