Breathe in. Breathe out. In. Out. He had told himself that this was the price to pay to have the ability to help people. That he was out of time and options. But now, he was having major second thoughts in his race red 2017 Ford Mustang, right in front of the bank that he was lined up to rob. He did a triple check of his equipment and ran through the plan in his head over and over again. Rubber Bullets? Check. The best he could do for gear? A stolen light bulletproof vest and a black doctors mask he had doodled on? Check. Mentally, he was ready. But he had little confidence that his body and legs would carry him through. He had broken tons of rules, but never anything like this before. It took all of five minutes to get out of his car and walk to the front desk. His heart beating in throat, legs almost shaking, but as externally calm as possible walked in through the front doors and screamed in his tiger-like voice, EVERYONE ON THE GROUND, OR I START SHOOTING!, Firing a rubber bullet into the air out of his Glock 19. Among the screams and the chaos, everyone complied very quickly. Next, he said to himself, the counter. ''Listen to me, and listen very carefully", he announced to the three tellers on duty. "I want ZERO shit from any of you. put the money in the bag, and keep your hands where i can see them, no trackers,no emergency buttons and no funny shit.", he practically screamed. In a miraculously fast 15 seconds, the tellers were done, and he made a mad dash for the door and into his getaway car. It started right up, as he used the paddle shifters to put his 435HP Mustang into drive. With the tires Spinning ant the exhaust screaming he began his getaway. His knuckles white on the steering wheel, he took the left-hand turn onto the road that was going to get him out of this town that he had called home for 2 years. He loved it there but helping to stop things like this from happening was his mission. Ironic. How he could rob a bank and then swear on his life to become a vigilante to stop these crimes from happening. He concluded, sometimes you have to do a wrong thing to set things right.

Jordan was waking up after a night of heavier drinking. In Eliza's room, sporting nothing other than a pair of boxers. ''Fuck,'' he murmured under his breath. He must have gotten in a rather vigorous game of strip poker last night as there were playing cards and poker chips everywhere. That an the fact that Eliza was in his arm next to him, completely nude, not even beginning to mention the alcohol everywhere. This was usual for the one week a month the finest operators in the world get off, and not a huge deal, since he and Eliza had been dating for almost two years now. He had planned on sitting there all day, until a knock arrived at Eliza's door. ''Who the hell is it?'' He answered irritably through the wooden door. ''Its me, you bloody idiot, now open up.'' Ah,yes. who else would come looking for him at 9:30 on a Saturday morning other than his partner in crime, Mike ''Thatcher'' Baker. ''Fine,'' he said, getting up and slipping on his pants and Adidas T-Shirt from the night before. ''It's important, we have to go see six.'' Said Mike, Jordan not even halfway out the door. ''What's so important that we have to see her this instant?'' ''I don't know, but if its six, its probably not stupid like you.'' ''Shut your damn mouth Mike.'' The Texan in great need of a clean shave stated, giving thatcher a dicking around kind of hit to the ribs. As they approached the esteemed Six's office, they could hear shouting from the inside.''What the hell do you mean, this isn't important? A bank robbery this close to our location, with the suspect armed and the ability to completely melt away from every observation tool we have in the area? He is obviously no idiot, and i consider him to be extremely dangerous. Find him.'', And then the sound of a slammed phone receiver. ''Thermite'' knocked three times, followed by a pleasant ''come in'' from the women who started it all. Jordan and Mike both walked in and stood at attention. ''At ease, soldiers. As you have no doubt heard, there is a highly dangerous suspect on the loose. I will not repeat myself, as you have both heard every word of what i said to the Lake Arrowhead Police Department. He is highly dangerous, and i need a team of my best reconnaissance ops to find him. That means You two, Timur, Aria, Eliza and Ryad. Alert your squad-mates. Brief is in 10.'' 'Yes Mam", the two operators repeated, and rushed off to alert their comrades.
