I was hard to follow the noises of battle as she shot the shoulders of the people she'd wing whacked to make sure they stayed down. Hearing her partner in the headset make a suggestion as she observed the situation below her. The tank wasn't moving anymore and smoke was coming out from below it. The other guns had been partly silenced as these smugglers seemed to have more fight in them than the others but even they had limits. Probally wounded as the floor exploded under them. The heavy machine gun in the turret was still spitting out the promise of death as the French marines had to stay in cover; she had to work fast noticing its direction. It was also blind up top so she flew down fast to land on it with a thud the crew would hear. Slinging her rifle she put her grenades to use placing the two of them on the turret ring and pulling the pins before she flapped off high into the rafters. Another almighty bang locked the turret and they started to leave hands in the air. Now free to talk to her partner she replied "I assume it'll be a mop up now and I'll snipe from here for now. We still need to be careful". She looked down the iron sights of her FAMAS to scan for movement beyond her that wasn't a naval BDU clad man. so far nothing else. Laurent also cut into the visiting officers network. "Vehicle now out of action. Keep an eye on things our Angel of justice". Something the marines had been calling Alice informally and now it had stuck. It did look all but over as Alice sniped another man trying to make an escape from the back door. He was better dressed than the others but made sure he was only wounded and was now being covered by the marines. They'd find out who the attempted escapee was soon enough. Francis Dominic

The resounding boom of watching everything go to bits was always his favorite part. He had no idea why it was so exciting when it probably should have been a time that was more scary than anything. He always did his best to remain calm in these types of situations though it was not always easy. Francis moved carefully until he was in the area where he seen the man go down and he watched hoping that the man was not stupid enough to move with all that surrounded him. Alice Seraphim

It didn't take much longer for the uniformed police to take away the injured, dead and handcuffed smugglers who had managed to surrender before getting shot themselves. So along with the medics the crates were also being opened and investigated and much loot was being found. It was also a scene being carried out across the entire waterfront as several groups were caught up in this. One even Alice found surprising the next morning over breakfast at their inland hotel. Sharing the table was Lt Dumas who had some interesting news to tell them both. "The man Alice sniped at end of the raid wasn't a smuggler or even part of those groups. He was local OSE in fact and under interrogation confessed to not only being corrupt but also hating our kind and being a STRIFE sympathiser. So much so he tried to sabotage the operation just because you would be involved it in. I would love to grease the rat bastard and air this scandal but that is down to my government. I did make friends despite his efforts and if a similar opportunity presents itself on Ashford Island I would like to be involved". Laurent smiled after he spoke. He'd fun too even if Alice hadn't shown anything other than professionalism towards him. He'd also enjoyed having Francis around. "A pity I didn't take his head off then" she mused. Francis Dominic

Francis listened and he knew that you could never truly trust ose but these lengths even suprised him. Maybe it should not have but it did and for that he felt that his view was always changed too. "Looks like we have to take even more security now," he said. "You're not so bad," he said to Laurent. "I am sure there will be a chance for you to come in on our island." It might have seemed closed off but he doubted that was seriously the case. "So can we say that we will see you again, you do know that you can come down on a day off right? It does not always have to be work." Alice Seraphim

Alice always had her doubts about OSE. She'd seen first hand what black ops CIA and OSE could do as she grew up and she always had regarded them as the true enemy of her kind. In a way this only confirmed what depths they could sink to and this rat had put a lot of lives at risk by what he'd done. Hanging him in a cage and waiting for a reef shark was too good for him. "This has made our life even more complicated if the OSE on Ashford Isle think the same way" she agreed. Francis extended an invitation to their host when he had a chance. Being a naval officer Lt Dumas didn't have a lot of free time but he did get extended leaves at times. "When I get my next long leave I'll be able to accept that invitation" he cheerfully replied. Alice then suggested "the Ashford Arms will be a good place to stay and we can show you around". A time frame just needed to be set. There was also surprises for Alice and Francis. They'd a free day to do what they wanted and a happier looking Alice now she knew this figured a proper look round the capital was in order. She said what she wanted to do and Francis had a choice to make. Francis Dominic

The ose on Ashford Francis did not even want to think about what they had been doing that they should not have and yet now he was. It had been a lot of information to take in but a little time to relax never hurt anyone. The free day was something that he was actually looking forward to because he honestly planned to relax his mind which was always good. "You seem pleased with good reason," he said to Alice.

Hearing what her partner had to say Alice looked curiously back at him. "I get to go shopping. That's why. I've a few presents to bring back for friends" she replied. She wouldn't need that much for herself but somethings might catch her eye. "So what do you plan to do with the whole island an option?" she posed. Francis Dominic

A lot had happened and he wanted to, well he kind of felt like he needed to talk about it but he did not know how to word it. "My, this lady I know wants me to go with her when I get back and look over some kids or something. I do not even know why and then there is this guy." The truth was Francis did not even think about Noah like that at least he did not think he was. "Okay so I went out on a bowling thing with a guy and he was hot, like attractive hot, does this mean that I am attracted to him or is it like he's a nice looking guy and I acknowledged it?" He had a lot on his mind. Alice Seraphim

Now it was just them again as Francis had something to tell her. Alice looked thoughtful and she understood as both genders did it for her. She'd just had her experiences with guys given how long she'd been under army care and things looked promising with Lucas back home. "I might understand better than you think. I'm able to see the attractions of both genders but guys tend to get my attention more. So starting with the guy perhaps you did both. So apart from thinking he was hot did you feel anything else towards him? Then this lady wants you too? Talking about children does sound a bit premature though. How well do you know her?" Alice posed. Francis Dominic

"Not immediately, I mean I didn't give it a chance because, not because I'm against it, it was just new but he is hot." Still even he knew there had to be more. "As for Sita," he might as well call her by her name now. "Things have always been complicated. I think we always get around one another in a weird space and our jobs are demanding. I do not suppose it's a hard no on kids we just lack good communication skills which sucks if a kid was to ever get involved." Alice Seraphim

Hearing what her partner had to say about these situations made Alice think a bit before she spoke again. "So it was a new feeling? Give things time to unfold and you'll have your answer about this hot guy. And Sita? It sound like there are possibilities there but when you get back home at least try and have a date with her? Then see where it leads". It didn't occur to her that she had already met Sita while being part of the Chang case. Francis Dominic

"Yeah I figure if nothng else I will friend zone myself and if my attraction grows towards him I will approach it in a delicate way as I can," he said. He stayed to himself most the time anyway so that would not be hard. "A date?" He blinked twice. "Are you serious right now? I don't even know how to date Sita, how does one date a doctor?" he asked seriously. Alice Seraphim

So the situation with the guy seemed simple enough. Sita seemed to be another issue. "You'd date a doctor in the same way you'd date a cop. Try and find the times that both suit your careers and be prepared for last minute changes of plans. I started to date an ARI scientist before I came here and that is something we are working on as he also works late" Alice replied helpfully. "Then once you have that date just take your time" she added. Francis Dominic

“I am sure that it will all work out, it’s just sometimes we end up overwhelmed and everything else seems to start falling out of place or at the least pretending like it is and that makes me freak out.” He shook his head. “Also this case, it got my curiousity up a little more than it should but with all due reasons. Our job is getting harder and the cases are getting trickier but I would not give any of it up for the world.” Alice Seraphim

Alice knew there was things that didn't add up. So voiced her thoughts on the issue as she was prone to do. "Francis there is plenty that dosen't add up about this case. It looked a lot more organised than just a smugglers group for starters, an OSE agent being up to his neck with them and where did they even get the armour plate and machine guns to make a tank? There's also a possible STRIFE link. Its a massive mess" she replied shaking her head. It didn't stop her liking the work she was doing as she got to take out some of her frustrations on criminals. Then added "they're only going to get harder to deal with but I'm ready for that". Way too many questions for them to deal with. Something Lt Dumas and the uniformed local police would figure out once they got the answers from the plentiful unfortunates in the cells; anyway he was back to work and Alice knew she could just take a local bus to get to the capital.
