Alice felt fear everytime she stepped into danger. You wouldn't know when that was going to happen either as this side trip wasn't planned today; she was still supposed to be in the university library digging for imformation for coursework. What separated people like Francis and Alice was being able to deal with the fear and overcome it; then act and do what was needed. Combat personnel had it and so did cops. She didn't need to say much to confirm to her partner that she agreed with his plan. "Gotcha partner" she said in a quiet voice as speaking any louder felt she might give them away; it probally wouldn't but she listened very hard as she kept up her stealth using the cover that various crates, forklift trucks, other equipment provided as they gradually made their way back to the entry point. They still heard gunshots from time to time and that made their life easier as no one was actively looking for them. It was clear this place was busy at times given its level of cargo. Some crates had different writing on it and most likely wasn't weapons; just as important as guns and ammo though and likely hadn't came in through the Ashford International Airport and their cargo plane runways. "This is a huge operation. We can figure out the rest later but people are going to be pissed once we break this open" she added still in that quiet voice. Her mind was calm and this had gradually happened once they had been paired off. The akward first days now seemed a distant memory as she didn't give him as much problems as before to deal with with. Which meant he could pick up other unorganised minds instead of her rather chaotic one. Francis Dominic

They were carefully making their way out when he heard a gun shot a little closer to them so he spoke. "Take this left, it looks like a shortcut," he said rather calmly. He knew a good part of staying calm was to go on as you needed and not let the least little thing get to you. What had happened in the few days before seemed like it was not going to matter much. Well he knew it would matter but still. Once the left was taken by him he looked back to make sure that Alice had followed. "Shit is getting scary Alice but we will do our job and find these criminals and put them away." Alice Seraphim

They still had a bit to go when they heard a gun shot that sounded closer. So that meant the fight was still going on between forces unknown to them. They might find out more later but right now they had to get out of there. Taking the shortcut Alice caught movement out of the corner of her eye and held up a hand to give a silent signal to Francis. Whoever this was couldn't be too far away. Another peek round the crates showed that she couldn't see anybody else or others on the next floor of the building. So made a move. She flew up quickly over the crates with the butt stock of her shotgun facing down on the normal looking guy above her. As she descended she had lucked out and caught him unawares landing behind him as he patrolled in a bored looking manner. She ran smacking him in the neck area to floor him followed by another swing of her arms to knock him out. At least there would be somebody to answer questions if they could get him out and they still hadn't been given away. At least yet. Francis Dominic

Francis was still trying to make sure they were safe even as he felt his heart beating and picking up a little speed here and there. As they finally exited out he let out a holler and then took a pause. "Shit I can't lie. I thought we were going to get caught." He now knew that they had someone who was watching them or at the least knew about them as he watched Alice take the guy out. He noted in his mind to never mess with her, not that he would do that anyhow. "Good job," he said because it was always important to let your partner know that they were important. "Let's get him tied up and out of here, we can question him later when our head might not get shot at." Alice Seraphim

Alice found suitable large cable ties and these did the job on her unconcious guard. So making sure he wasn't waking up but still alive for questioning they took him to the jeep. She looked relieved too given she'd had to blast a guy previously before battering the other one. They could get the camera footage later on if another team followed up but that wasn't their call. As they drove off she finally relaxed in the front passenger seat. "That was intense Francis. Way too close" she mused. He might pick up elevated brain activity from her but only for a while. She'd calm down again by the time they were at HQ Francis Dominic

He nodded but his words were few and far between at least for the moment as his head was hurting. He felt his nose began to slightly bleed as he leaned his head back and found a few tissues to hopefully help with the current situation. "It is not the best part of the job that is true but at least we are okay," he said. He needed to remain positive or it would all be for nothing. If he freaked out like he felt then it would also be for nothing. "We did good though, like fucking great really." Alice Seraphim

Alice made a suggestion before she spoke properly about this situation. "I can drive if you want me too" she posed and then quietly said what was on her mind. "We dealt with the rough part of the job quite well and you are right about us. We make a great team and we kicked butt. So whose going to the bad cop when we question him?" Another of those fine traditions going back to the first cops in the USA along with long hours and endless pots of coffee. Francis Dominic

He knew that he would make a good bad cop but he felt like Alice should do it. "I think that you should play the bad cop that way he knows that he is in real trouble. If I do it he will just think that I am some kind of macho man trying to get under his skin so I think that we will have better results from you." He sighed. "I think it would be good if you did drive. Also I will see if I can get into his thoughts though they might not be good ones I will do it to make sure that he is not lying to us." Alice Seraphim

Alice nodded adding to the idea by saying "he knows I knocked him out. So I might well scare him more if he thinks I can do worse to him". So after they stopped drivers swapped over and Alice was able to let Francis do his thing. Whatever they found now would make things easier; once he got read his rights that chance might fade away. You couldn't get away with much once the lawyer arrived. She drove at a safer speed given it was night and it also gave Francis longer to have a poke round the mans head. HQ was about ten minutes away. Francis Dominic

He wanted himself to be able to remain calm but he also knew better for the most part, but the cool breeze of the wind did help. The man's head however was a flurried rush of thoughts and scrambled mess as all Francis could hear at the moment was a string of cuss words and emptiness. "He's being a bit difficult, no worries once we reach headquarters I will taser him and see if that wakes him up." There was more than one way to get someone to talk. Alice Seraphim

Hearing a taser might well be used on the guy to wake him up Alice shrugged her shoulders while she kept an eye on the light traffic. As long as she didn't blab about it the slightly improper treatment wouldn't matter as long as no evidence was left to find. "Don't leave any marks in that case" she mused. Part of her mind was already on what they've have to do to get answers from the criminal in the back of their jeep. Given that criminals usually didn't play by rules and terrorists didn't even try too it didn't seem right that they had to do so. They could however be bent a little before the lawyer got there. The journey continued once the little jam cleared and Alice sped up a bit on a fairly clear road. Francis Dominic

Francis simply knew that he was going to have a hell of a headache in the morning but he would deal with it especially if he got even just half a chance to slap this bastard around that had tried to stop them. Did the stupid fuck not understand that they were the real true good guys. "Can I hold a knife to his throat while you do it?" he asked. The tone in his voice he thought showed just how serious he was. Alice Seraphim

While Alice might overlook a little rule bending she knew they had to follow procedures in spirit at least. So no knives and pain once the lawyer got there. Even scumbags had rights even if they didn't deserve them. "You'll have till the lawyer gets there but don't overdo it" she replied noting how serious he sounded. She wanted answers too and he just might know enough to cough up more names. She'd be the bad cop but do it just with questions and suggestions. She might look like a sweet girl and a lot of the time she was. Given she was shot at tonight she wasn't in that good a mood. One place she didn't want to end up in was hospital. Then they pulled into the HQ carpark and she stopped the jeep near the front door. "I'll best let the desk sarge know what we got up too. I'll see you again in the interview room" she calmly replied but sounded a but tired as well but still fired up enough to get more answers tonight. Francis Dominic

Damn him for being on the good side of the law. "Yes mam," he said as he laughed. Francis knew that from time to time he could joke around too much but he did not think that any part of him would truly harm someone and still he knew that it would be easier with the lawyer in the room. Still he was received when they had gotten to the hq. He stepped out and made sure to grab the man and set him down. Their work was everlasting at times it seemed as he splashed a little water into the man's face. "Come on wake up, we don't have all night you fucker." Alice Seraphim

Alice chuckled a little hearing Francis and understood what he meant. She'd seen all that in the military life and then smiled broadly as she went off to tell their story. That left him to get their suspect to the interview. So after a few minutes of filing the basic report and having sure she had her phone activated since she'd been taking pictures with it was time to get answers. She calmly strolled in just as their hapless guy was waking up. As she'd promised to be the bad cop she strolled over and made sure he got a good look at her. She was small in body and stature but that dark look on her face promised a lot of pain. So she started by placing her phone and the bag of drugs on the table. She also started the voice recorder and the standard procedure off. By stating the date, time and location of the interview along with the interviewing officers (Francis and herself) along with the case number and she first thing she mentioned was his rights. "I suppose I should start with your rights. I'm not sure if you'll understand me so I'll break it into words you just might. You have the right to remain silent and also a lawyer. Anything you say out of the hole in your face that rests under your nose can be used in evidence against you. So lets start with something really simple. What is your name and where did you come from? Also I'm sure you know what this is? I am showing our suspect a bag of drugs found during the search of the premises". Her voice promised just as much pain as her look did. Having seen drill sergeants who could probally breathe fire without being oddities gave her something to refer back to. They did have the guys wallet and a form of id so asking the question was as much a prelude as it was getting a spoken confirmation of that fact. Francis Dominic
