Paul looks at everyone gathered around him. The assassin or mugger that Marshal Running Bear had tortured and killed hadn’t told them anthing of any use. Even the information that Jessica removed from the man’s mind, hadn’t revealed anything of use.

“I think we need to be more active and start asking the villagers where we can find these assassins.” Paul knew they needed to pull a few pages from his and Kat’s playbook.

“That’s going to draw attention ourselves and we need to surprise this group.” Tammy knew if they announce they were looking for them. That they would set themselves up as a target.

“That’s the idea, Tammy. If you're going fishing, you need to use bait. They already know were here, so let’s bring them to us and settle this once and for all.” Paul and Kat have played this game before.

“The problem, we need to find them.” Tammy knew that was why they were hiding.

“Why don’t we do what my uncle’s do. Let’s lure them out of hiding and ambush them. I, Marshal Running Bear and Mr. Romano can lure them out. That way you and the rest can ambush them.” Sophie figures it wouldn’t take much to do it.

Tammy looks at Sophie and wonders why she got into this type of business? She was a performer, but the plan made sense.

“Fine, go out and see what you can do.” Tammy hopes the plan works.

Sophie, Marshal Running Bear and Paul leave the village and start looking and talking with people. They split up, but check in with each other. Jessica and Dave were searching for a different area. They got a few leads about a place the Thuggees use to use before the British took them out.

“Hey, Tammy, Jessica and I are heading to a former place the Thuggees use to use.”

“I’m sending Marshal Bullock to go with you guys. Keep me informed on what you find.” Tammy already sent Marshal Bullock to team up with Jessica and Dave.

“Okay.”

Marshal Bullock spots Dave and Jessica. He heads over towards them.

“How far away is this place?’

“Not far. We’ll have to take a boat and head upriver.” Dave had looked the place up on his cellphone. It was still tittered to Becky’s wrist comp.

They managed to rent a small boat to take upriver. Jessica had scanned the person’s mind they rented the boat from and found out that they were paying a little more than he normally rented them out for. Marshal Bullock guides the boat upriver.

Jessica was looking around as they traveled upriver. She had the feeling that they were being watched, but when she extended her mental abilities out. There wasn’t anyone there. However, her other gift was picking up on spiritual energies. Some of them were very old and felt like they had suffered.

Bullock was watching Jessica since he knew who she was. Her facial expressions changed slightly as they kept traveling. He wonders what was causing her to react the way she was.

Sophie, Marshal Running Bear and Paul:

So, far none of the three had any luck on their fishing expedition. Paul was making it obvious that he was out about looking for these people. As Paul was walking down the street, to talk to another person. He gets an itching feeling that he was being watched.

He ducks and mingle with a group of people and spots the person following him. A smile appears on his face as he steps out and leads the person to where he wanted to trap them.

“Sophie, David, I have a fish. I’m heading towards your location.”

Sophie spotted someone following her as well. She stops to look at some cooking pans and spots her person.

“I have one too. I’ll meet you guys at the location.”

Tammy and the rest of the group were monitoring Sophie’s and Paul’s communication. So, far David hadn’t picked up anyone.

“Bring the people to us.” Tammy waves over the rest of her team.

“Gladly.” Sophie had a smile on her face.

Sophie leads the one following her, to the ambush spot. She makes sure, to keep her tail. she was trying to make it easy, but not so obvious.

She spots Paul as they arrived at the designated spot. Sophie and Paul turn around and look at their tails. Sophie notices the person that was following her was younger than the person following Paul.

The two assassins were surprised when the people they were following stopped and face them. They were hoping to get the drop on their targets. The one that concerned them the most, was Mr. Romano. The money they were paid to kill him, and his wife was enough to support the organization.

Tammy spotted the assassins that had been following Paul and Sophie. She radio’s Jerry that the fish were taking the bait. She had Becky recording their faces into their database. She was linked up with one of Chaos Private Security satellites in orbit.

“Jerry moved in on the one following Mr. Romano. I have the one on Sophie covered from here.” Tammy had her sniper rifle locked onto the
figure behind Sophie. She could get the guy behind Mr. Romano easily.

Jerry sneaks up behind the man behind Mr. Romano “you move, your dead.”

The man stops in his tracks. He looks over towards his companion and notices he didn’t have anyone on him. Just as he was about to react, the person he had been hired to kill turns around to face him. Even the person on his companion’s target turned around as well.

“I don’t know who you are, but you have made a grave mistake.” Paul punches the guy and knocks him out.

Jerry had just watched as Paul punched their hostage and knocked him out. He just shakes his head “now, we got to carry the bastard.”

The guy facing Sophie was going to pull his knife out and attack, but as he was itching his hand towards his knife.

“You try anything and the person watching you will place five bullets in you before you feel the first one.” Sophie knew Tammy could place all
five shots in the same place.

“Bring them back to the warehouse and we’ll question them.”

“Got you, Tam.”
