"They're at it again aren't they?"
"Yeah" Wes nodded, running his hands over his face, looking more tired than usual.
"It's not your fault… you have to stop blaming yourself for what happened." His PA whispered, planting himself on the senior agent's lap, running his hands softly through the Asian's hair.
"I know… I just… I keep feeling that if I hadn't been so harsh on them then they wouldn't have…" he couldn't bear to finish his sentence. "They were one of my best, David." He looked up at his assistant, eyes glistening with tears.
David placed a soft kiss on his hair. "We'll get them soon, Wes. We will."
….
"Such a simple task and you couldn't even do it right. You even manage to blow our cover! What is the matter with you two?!" Wes shouted at the two agents before him.
The two agents, agent 3 and agent 6, Nick and Jeff respectively, started arguing back. It wasn't as if they had meant to fail their mission, they were compromised. They were sure of it. Somehow, the bad guys had gotten word that they were coming and had planned an ambush. Nick and Jeff were lucky to be alive, in their opinion. Of course, when they tried to explain this to Wes, he didn't believe them. It wasn't a surprise really. Nick and Jeff were known within the agency for always joking around in the office. But once they were out in the field, they were one of the best.
They were part of an elite team known as the Warblers. With each member having a specialized set of skills, they were the perfect hit squad. They were trained to be ruthless. There was no place for mistakes, no place for compromise and definitely no place for failure. Every mission the Warblers did was perfectly carried out. They were a tightly-knit group of men working together like a well-oiled machine.
Once they were dismissed, the two agents made their way back to Nick's office. Stepping in, Nick slammed the door shut. If they were a cartoon, you would be able to see fumes coming out of his ears. He slammed his fist on the table. "Argh! I'm so sick of Wes being such a… a… such a douche bag!"
"There isn't exactly much we can do about it…" Jeff didn't even try to calm his partner down.
Suddenly, Nick perked up. "Let's go. Let's get out of here. Let's go somewhere no one can order us around anymore."
"We can just quit the agency, Nick. You know that. We're in for life." Jeff answered, sighing.
"We can go rogue." Nick replied like it was the simplest thing in the world.
"And what exactly do you plan to do once we 'go rouge' ?" Jeff gave Nick a doubtful look.
"Anything we want, Jeff! With our skills, we can do anything."
